You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. All references to “Tenneco,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” refer to Tenneco Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Notes referenced in this discussion and analysis refer to the notes to consolidated financial statements that are found in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.
OVERVIEW
Our Business
We design, manufacture, market, and distribute products and services for light vehicle, commercial truck, off-highway, industrial, motorsport, and aftermarket customers. We manufacture innovative clean air, powertrain and ride performance products and systems, and serve both original equipment (“OE”) manufacturers and the repair and replacement markets worldwide. We supply OE parts to vehicle manufacturers for use in light vehicles, commercial vehicles, and other mobility markets; and the global aftermarket with replacement parts that are sold to wholesalers, retailers, and installers, as well as original equipment service (“OES”) parts to OE customers to support their service channels. We serve our customers through leading brands, including Monroe®, Champion®, Öhlins®, MOOG®, Walker®, Fel-Pro®, Wagner®, Ferodo®, Rancho®, Thrush®, National®, and Sealed Power®, and others. As of December 31, 2020, we operated 201 manufacturing facilities worldwide and employed approximately 73,000 people to service our customers’ demands.
Tenneco consists of four operating segments, Clean Air, Powertrain, Ride Performance, and Motorparts:
•The Clean Air segment designs, manufactures, and distributes a variety of products and systems designed to reduce pollution and optimize engine performance, acoustic tuning, and weight on a vehicle for light vehicle, commercial truck, and off-highway OE customers;
•The Powertrain segment designs, manufactures, and distributes a variety of original equipment powertrain products for light vehicle, commercial truck, off-highway, and industrial applications to OE customers for use in new vehicle production and OES parts to support their service and distribution channels;
•The Ride Performance segment designs, manufactures, markets, and distributes a variety of ride performance solutions and systems to a global OE customer base, including noise, vibration, and harshness performance materials, advanced suspension technologies, ride control, and braking; and
•The Motorparts segment designs, manufactures, sources, markets, and distributes a broad portfolio of leading brand-names products in the global vehicle aftermarket while also servicing the original equipment servicers market. Motorparts products are organized into categories, including shocks and struts, steering and suspension, braking, sealing, emissions control, engine, and maintenance.
Costs related to other business activities, primarily corporate headquarter functions, are disclosed separately from the four operating segments as “Corporate.” See Note 21, “Segment and Geographic Area Information”, in our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 for additional information.
The COVID-19 global pandemic has negatively affected the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created extreme volatility and disruptions to capital and credit markets in the global financial markets. We have responded quickly to protect our team members’ health and safety while taking aggressive actions to mitigate the financial effect of the pandemic on us. In response to the pandemic, we expanded on structural cost reductions, and implemented a range of temporary cost reductions including plant closures, deferment of discretionary spending, and the reduction of capital expenditures. In addition, on April 15, 2020, our Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan designed to protect the availability of our tax assets in the current volatile market environment and, on May 5, 2020, we entered into a third amendment to our credit agreement to increase the maximum leverage ratio and decrease the minimum interest coverage ratio. There are many uncertainties related to COVID-19 that could negatively affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. We believe we will comply with our financial covenants, as required by our amended credit agreement and we believe our liquidity position continues to be adequate based on our current estimates and forecasts.
Other factors that we expect will continue to be critical to our success include winning new business awards, managing our overall global manufacturing and fulfillment footprint to ensure proper placement and workforce levels in line with business needs, maintaining competitive wages and benefits, maximizing efficiencies in manufacturing processes, positioning the business to adapt to changes in vehicle electrification, and reducing overall costs. In addition, our ability to adapt to key industry trends, such as a shift in consumer preferences to other vehicles in response to higher fuel costs and other economic and social factors, increasing technologically sophisticated content, changing aftermarket distribution channels, increasing environmental standards, and extended product life of automotive parts, also play a critical role in our success. Other factors that are critical to our success include adjusting to economic challenges such as managing the availability of materials or increases in the cost of raw materials and our ability to successfully reduce the effect of any such cost increases through material substitutions, cost reduction initiatives, and other methods.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, the Motorparts segment initiated a rationalization of its supply chain and distribution network to achieve supply chain efficiencies and improve throughput to its customers. As a result, certain assets including inventory, real estate, and personal property would no longer be utilized. As such, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Motorparts segment recognized an $82 million non-cash charge to write-down inventory to its net realizable value, a $16 million impairment charge to write-down property, plant, and equipment to its fair value, and a $9 million impairment charge to its operating lease right-of-use assets. Additionally, the Motorparts segment recognized $4 million in restructuring charges related to cash severance expected to be paid in connection with this action.
Strategic Alternatives
Following the closing of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition, we agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to pursue the separation of the combined company into an Aftermarket and Ride Performance company and a Powertrain Technology company. As such, we have previously announced that we are reviewing a full range of strategic options to enhance shareholder value creation. In light of current market conditions and other factors, our current efforts to optimize shareholder value creation are also focused on operational improvements, reducing structural costs, lowering capital intensity, reducing debt, and growth in targeted business lines.
Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2020
Consolidated revenues were $15,379 million, a decrease of $2,071 million, or 12%, for the year ended December 31, 2020. The primary driver of the decrease is from lower sales volume of $1,810 million, largely attributable to the effects of COVID-19. The remaining decrease is attributable to a decrease in revenues of $106 million, or less than 1%, related to the net effects of acquisitions and divestitures, the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange of $89 million, and the net unfavorable effects of other of $66 million.
Cost of sales was $13,402 million, a decrease of $1,510 million, or 10%, for the year ended December 31, 2020. The primary driver of the decrease is from lower sales volume of $1,212 million, largely attributable to the effects of COVID-19. The remaining decrease is attributable to a decrease in cost of sales of $96 million, or less than 1%, related to the net effects of acquisitions and divestitures, the favorable effects of materials sourcing of $87 million, the favorable effects of foreign currency exchange of $60 million, and the net favorable effects of other costs of $137 million. This was partially offset by a non-cash charge of $82 million related to the write-down of inventory in the Motorparts segment in connection with its initiative to rationalize its supply chain and distribution network. Included in other costs of $137 million, is $9 million of margin on discontinued product that was previously written-down.
Net loss increased by $1,240 million to $1,460 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $220 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by:
•an increase in restructuring charges, net and non-cash asset impairment charges of $496 million primarily related to the impairment of long-lived asset groups triggered by the effects of COVID-19 on the Company's projected financial information, global headcount and cost reduction initiatives, and other actions to optimize our distribution footprint and warehousing locations;
•a net increase in non-cash goodwill and intangible impairment charges of $142 million, which was comprised of an increase of $159 million in goodwill impairment charges, an increase of $65 million in definite-lived intangible asset impairments, and a decrease of $82 million in indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments; and
•an increase in income tax expense of $440 million primarily attributable to the $507 million in non-cash charges to tax expense relating to the full valuation allowances established for the U.S. deferred taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $98 million in non-cash charges to tax expense for changes in valuation allowance for deferred taxes relating to non-U.S. jurisdictions. This is partially offset by the federal and state tax benefits and foreign rate differential on the change of the loss before income taxes and noncontrolling interests of $186 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
These unfavorable effects were partially offset by:
•a decrease in selling, general, and administrative costs of $249 million, primarily due to $88 million in lower acquisition and expected separation costs, and the favorable effects of cost reduction initiatives implemented in response to the effects of COVID-19, including unpaid furloughs, net pay decreases, temporary support programs, and other compensation related expenses;
•a decrease in engineering, research, and development of $51 million primarily due to the effects of COVID-19 and cost reduction initiatives; and
•a decrease in interest expense of $45 million primarily attributable to lower interest rates on variable rate debt, which was partially offset by higher interest expense on higher average outstanding borrowings on the revolver. This also includes a decrease of $11 million in financing charges on sales of accounts receivable for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Recent Trends and Market Conditions
There is inherent uncertainty in the continuation of the trends discussed below. In addition, there may be other factors or trends that can have an effect on our business. Our business and operating results are affected by the relative strength of:
General economic conditions
Our OE business is directly related to automotive vehicle production by our customers. Automotive production levels depend on a number of factors, including global and regional economic conditions, and policies. Demand for aftermarket products is driven by four primary factors: the number of vehicles in operation; the average age of vehicles; vehicle usage trends (primarily miles driven); and component failure and wear rates.
In late 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was first detected in Wuhan, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and governmental authorities around the world have implemented measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 has resulted in suspension or reduction of operations, supply chain disruptions, restrictions on domestic and international travel, and a decrease in consumer traffic. These measures have adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets, and, along with decreased consumer spending, reductions in revenue, and delays in payments from customers and partners, have led to an economic downturn in many of our markets.
The decline in value-add revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $2,399 million which is largely attributable to the effects of COVID-19. We expect the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic will likely continue during 2021, the extent of which will depend on a number of factors, including the duration and severity. Therefore, there are many uncertainties that remain related to COVID-19 that could negatively affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. As customer demand increases, we expect to face periods where payments will become due to suppliers for our existing and additional inventories to support renewed production before we have generated new receivables from customers from that renewed production. It is our intent to maintain a consistent balance between our payables and receivables during this time.
Cost reductions and other responses to COVID-19
We have implemented a range of actions aimed at temporarily reducing costs and preserving liquidity in response to the effects and anticipated effects to our business resulting from COVID-19 as described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Liquidity and Financing Arrangements”. The Company will continue to evaluate further ways to manage costs in line with reduced revenue.
Global vehicle production levels
Light vehicle production (According to IHS Markit, February 2021)
For the year ended December 31, 2020, global light vehicle production was down across all major markets in which we operate and down 16% overall compared to 2019. Light vehicle production was down 20% in North America, 22% in Europe, 32% in South America, 4% in China and 23% in India.
Global light vehicle production in 2021 is expected to improve across all major markets in which we operate and an improvement of 13% overall compared to 2020. Current projections show a 24% improvement in North America, 14% improvement in Europe, 33% improvement in South America, 6% improvement in China, and 23% improvement in India.
Commercial truck production (According to IHS Markit, February 2021)
Global commercial truck production decreased by 6% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019. North America commercial truck production declined 31%, Brazil was down 24%, Europe declined 18%, and India fell 59%. Commercial truck production in China grew 27% in 2020 when compared to 2019.
Global commercial truck production is expected to improve in most major markets in which we operate during 2021, however production overall is projected to be down 8% compared to 2020 as the expected decline in China production more than offsets the projected improvements in other regions. Current 2021 projections show North America up 28%, Brazil up 20%, Europe up 11%, India up 63%, and China down 30% over 2020.
Fuel efficiency, powertrain evolution, and vehicle electrification
Various jurisdictions around the world have announced plans to limit the production of new diesel and gasoline powered vehicles in the future. Major vehicle manufacturers have announced their intention to reduce and phase out production of diesel and gasoline powered vehicles during the next two decades. However, for the foreseeable future, it is expected that the majority of the powertrains for light and commercial vehicles will be gasoline and diesel engines (including hybrids, which combine a battery electric drive with a combustion engine). While we see similar electrification trends for light vehicle and commercial vehicle, we expect light vehicles will experience those trends in advance of commercial vehicles. We expect to monitor those trends and adopt our business strategy accordingly.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section discusses our consolidated results of operations and results of operations by segment for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019.

Revenues
Revenues decreased by $2,071 million, or 12%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The primary driver of the decrease is lower sales volume and unfavorable mix of $1,810 million, largely attributable to the effects of COVID-19. The remaining decrease is attributable to a decrease in revenues of $106 million, or less than 1%, related to the net effects of acquisitions and divestitures, the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange of $89 million, and the net unfavorable effects of other of $66 million.

Cost of sales
Cost of sales decreased by $1,510 million, or 10%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The primary driver of the decrease is from lower sales volume of $1,212 million, largely attributable to the effects of COVID-19. The remaining decrease is attributable to a decrease in cost of sales of $96 million, or less than 1%, related to the net effects of acquisitions and divestitures, the favorable effects of materials sourcing of $87 million, the favorable effects of foreign currency exchange of $60 million, and the net favorable effects of other costs of $137 million. This was partially offset by a non-cash charge of $82 million related to the write-down of inventory in the Motorparts segment in connection with its initiative to rationalize its supply chain and distribution network. Included in other costs of $137 million, is $9 million of margin on discontinued product that was previously written-down.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A)
SG&A decreased by $249 million to $889 million compared to $1,138 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to $88 million in lower acquisition and expected separation costs, and the favorable effects of cost reduction initiatives implemented in response to the effects of COVID-19, including unpaid furloughs, net pay decreases, temporary support programs, and other compensation related expenses during the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, SG&A includes a reduction of $9 million recognized for a non-income tax refund received in the year ended December 31, 2020.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $34 million to $639 million compared to $673 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily attributable to the effects of the impairments on property, plant, and equipment recognized in the first quarter of 2020.
Engineering, research, and development
Engineering, research, and development decreased by $51 million to $273 million as compared to $324 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due primarily to the effects of COVID-19 and the favorable effects of cost reduction initiatives.
Restructuring charges, net and asset impairments
Restructuring charges, net and asset impairments increased by $496 million to $622 million as compared to $126 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily attributable to non-cash property, plant, and equipment asset impairments in the Ride Performance segment of $455 million; non-cash asset impairment charges in the Motorparts segment of $25 million related to its initiative to rationalize its supply chain and distribution network; and a non-cash asset impairment charge of $17 million for operating lease right-of-use assets in the corporate component during the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, there was an increase of $6 million for cash severance costs expected to be paid as part of global headcount and cost reduction actions across all segments and regions, including plant closures, which was more than offset by a decrease of $6 million in impairments related to assets held for sale and a decrease in other asset impairments of $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.
Goodwill and intangible impairment charges
Goodwill and intangible impairment charges increased by $142 million to $383 million as compared to $241 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily attributable to $267 million of non-cash goodwill impairment charges, $65 million of non-cash definite-lived intangible asset impairments, and $51 million of non-cash indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments during the year ended December 31, 2020, which was the result of the effects of COVID-19 on the projected financial information during the first quarter of 2020. This compared to $108 million of goodwill impairment charges recognized for three of our reporting units for the year ended December 31, 2019. These non-cash goodwill impairment charges included $69 million in the Ride Performance segment as a result of our reporting unit reorganization and a $21 million impairment charge in the Motorparts segment, and an $18 million impairment charge in the Powertrain segment as a result of our goodwill impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2019. In addition, as a result of our indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2019, non-cash intangible asset impairment charges of $133 million were recorded for two reporting units in the Motorparts segment.
Non-service pension and postretirement benefit (costs) credits
Non-service pension and postretirement benefit (costs) credits increased by $29 million to a net credit of $18 million as compared to a net cost of $11 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This was primarily attributable to the elimination of certain health care benefits in retirement for participants in one of our union agreements that resulted in a non-cash curtailment gain of $21 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to a curtailment gain of $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 resulting from the plan amendments approved during 2019 to eliminate postretirement benefits for certain nonunion employees. The remaining change was primarily attributable to a decrease in the discount rate, which was partially offset by a higher amortization and a lower expected return on plan assets due to a lower long-term rate of return.
Equity in earnings (losses) of nonconsolidated affiliates, net of tax
Equity in earnings (losses) of nonconsolidated affiliates, net of tax increased by $4 million to $47 million as compared to $43 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. In the year ended December 31, 2019, a non-cash reduction of $12 million was recognized as a result of finalizing purchase accounting for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition, and completing the purchase price allocation for certain equity method investments, which represents amounts to recognize the basis difference between the fair value and book value of certain assets, including inventory, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets. After the purchase accounting adjustments in the prior year, equity earnings (losses) decreased year over year primarily due to the effects of COVID-19 on the equity in earnings (losses) of our nonconsolidated affiliates located in Turkey, China, Korea, and the U.S. for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.
Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt
A non-cash gain on extinguishment of debt of $2 million was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2020 related to the redemption of the 4.875% euro denominated senior secured notes during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Other income (expense), net decreased by $15 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a recovery of value-added tax in a foreign jurisdiction for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased by $45 million to $277 million (substantially all in our U.S. operations), net of interest capitalized of $3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $322 million (substantially all in our U.S. operations), net of interest capitalized of $5 million, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The $45 million decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates on our variable rate debt, partially offset by higher interest expense on higher average outstanding borrowings on the revolver during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense also included losses on sales of accounts receivables, which was $20 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $31 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. For more detailed explanations on our debt structure and senior credit facility refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” later in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Income tax expense (benefit)
Income tax expense increased by $440 million to $459 million on loss before income taxes and noncontrolling interests of $1,001 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to income tax expense of $19 million on loss before income taxes and noncontrolling interests of $201 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily the result of the $507 million in non-cash charges to tax expense relating to the full valuation allowances established for the U.S. deferred taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $98 million in non-cash charges to tax expense for changes in valuation allowance for deferred taxes relating to non-U.S. jurisdictions. This is partially offset by the federal and state tax benefits and foreign rate differential on the change of the loss before income taxes and noncontrolling interests of $186 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Net income (loss)
Net loss increased by $1,240 million to $1,460 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $220 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the aforementioned items.

Segment Results of Operations
Overview of Net Sales and Operating Revenues
Our Clean Air segment has substrate sales. Substrates are porous ceramic filters coated with a catalyst - typically, precious metals such as platinum, palladium and rhodium. We do not manufacture substrates, they are supplied to us by Tier 2 suppliers generally directed by our OE customers. We generally earn a small margin on these components of the system. These substrate components have been increasing as a percentage of our revenue as the need for more sophisticated emission control solutions increases to meet more stringent environmental regulations, and as we capture more diesel aftertreatment business. While these substrates dilute our gross margin percentage, they are a necessary component of an emission control system.
Our value-add content in an emission control system includes designing the system to meet environmental regulations through integration of the substrates into the system, maximizing use of thermal energy to heat up the catalyst quickly, efficiently managing airflow to reduce back pressure as the exhaust stream moves past the catalyst, managing the expansion and contraction of the emission control system components due to temperature extremes experienced by an emission control system, using advanced acoustic engineering tools to design the desired exhaust sound, minimizing the opportunity for the fragile components of the substrate to be damaged when we integrate it into the emission control system and reducing unwanted noise, vibration, and harshness transmitted through the emission control system.
We disclose substrate sales amounts because we believe investors utilize this information to understand the effect of this portion of our revenues on our overall business and because it removes the effect of potentially volatile precious metals pricing from our revenues. While our OE customers generally assume the risk of precious metals pricing volatility, it affects our reported revenues.

Segment Revenue
Clean Air
Clean Air revenue decreased $400 million, or 6%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in value-add revenue of $728 million, partially offset by the increase in substrate sales of $328 million. Overall for the Clean Air segment, lower light vehicle and off-highway and other revenues were the main drivers of the value-add revenue decline while commercial truck improved when compared to the prior year. In addition, foreign currency exchange had a $4 million unfavorable effect on Clean Air value-add revenue while other unfavorable effects decreased value-add revenue by $62 million.
Powertrain
Powertrain revenue decreased $682 million, or 15%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Lower light vehicle, commercial truck, industrial, and off-highway and other vehicle revenue contributed $624 million to the decrease, as well as a decrease in revenues from divestitures of $7 million. Foreign currency exchange had a $15 million unfavorable effect on Powertrain revenue, while other unfavorable effects decreased revenue by $36 million.
Ride Performance
Ride Performance revenue decreased $547 million, or 20%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Lower light vehicle, commercial truck, off-highway, and other vehicle revenues contributed $505 million to the decrease, as well as a decrease in revenues from divestitures of $23 million. Foreign currency exchange had a $6 million unfavorable effect on Ride Performance revenue, while other unfavorable effects decreased revenue by $13 million.
Motorparts
Motorparts revenue decreased $442 million, or 14%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Lower sales across all regions in which we operate contributed $356 million to the decrease, as well as a decrease in revenues from divestitures of $76 million, and foreign currency exchange had a $55 million unfavorable effect on Motorparts revenues. The unfavorable effects were partially offset by other net favorable effects of $45 million.

Clean Air
Clean Air EBITDA including noncontrolling interests decreased $142 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower sales volume and unfavorable mix, partially offset by favorable operating performance and lower SG&A costs during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.
Powertrain
Powertrain EBITDA including noncontrolling interests decreased $233 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower sales volume and unfavorable mix, an increase in cash severance charges expected to be paid of $19 million, and an increase in goodwill impairment charge of $142 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. These unfavorable factors were partially offset by favorable operating performance and lower SG&A and engineering, research, and development costs. Included in the lower SG&A costs is a reduction of $9 million for a non-income tax refund received in the year ended December 31, 2020.
Ride Performance
Ride Performance EBITDA including noncontrolling interests decreased $603 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to asset impairment charges of $455 million and goodwill and intangible impairment charges of $113 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to a goodwill impairment charge of $69 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019. Also contributing to the decrease is lower sales volume and unfavorable mix, partially offset by lower SG&A and engineering, research, and development costs.
Motorparts
Motorparts EBITDA including noncontrolling interests decreased $29 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower sales volumes and unfavorable mix, an increase in goodwill impairment charge of $49 million and a non-cash charge to cost of sales of $82 million related to the write-down of inventory recognized in connection with its initiative to rationalize its supply chain and distribution network as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. These unfavorable factors were partially offset by favorable operating performance, lower SG&A costs and a decrease in indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges of $93 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity and Financing Arrangements
The COVID-19 global pandemic has negatively affected the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created extreme volatility and disruptions to capital and credit markets in the global financial markets. We expect the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic will likely continue during 2021, the extent of which will depend on a number of factors, including the duration and severity. We believe our liquidity position continues to be adequate. However, with the recent economic downturn related to COVID-19, we expect to see lower revenue and lower earnings as part of the global recovery. As customer demand increases, we expect to face periods where payments will become due to our suppliers for our existing and additional inventories needed to support renewed production before we have generated new receivables from customers from that renewed production. It is our intent to maintain a consistent balance between our payables and receivables during this time.
We have implemented a range of actions aimed at temporarily reducing costs and preserving liquidity in response to the effects and anticipated effects to our business resulting from COVID-19. These measures include:
•Temporarily suspending or reducing operations;
•As discussed in more detail in Note 11, “Debt and Other Financing Arrangements” and below, we entered into an amendment to our senior credit facility to increase the maximum leverage ratio and decrease the minimum interest coverage ratio;
•At December 31, 2020, we had liquidity of $2.3 billion comprised of $803 million of cash and $1.5 billion undrawn on our revolving credit facility;
•During 2020, overall salary costs were reduced at least 25% during the second quarter and 10% during the third quarter through a combination of unpaid furloughs, net pay decreases, and available temporary support programs in all regions Tenneco does business. Additionally, the executive leadership team (the CEO and direct staff) had reduced their salaries by 50% in the second quarter and 20% in the third quarter. Employee salaries were restored to their prior levels effective October 1, 2020;
•We reduced our headcount globally, and plan further reductions subject to negotiation with works councils in certain jurisdictions, beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and expect these actions to be completed during 2021;
•Capital expenditures in 2020 amounted to $394 million. This is a reduction from 2019 expenditures of $744 million;
•Utilizing applicable and appropriate provisions under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) including deferral of our portion of the 2020 FICA payroll taxes which will be repaid in 2021 and 2022, and payroll tax credits; and
•The Tenneco Board of Directors annual retainer fees were reduced by 25% effective for the third and fourth quarters of 2020.
On May 5, 2020, we entered into a third amendment to our credit agreement to increase the maximum leverage ratio and decrease the minimum interest coverage ratio. At December 31, 2020, we are in compliance with all financial covenants under the credit agreement. There are many uncertainties related to COVID-19 that could negatively affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. We believe we will comply with these financial covenants, as required by our amended credit agreement. The amendment is discussed in more detail below.
We believe cash flows from operations, combined with our cash on hand and committed and undrawn capacity under our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our future capital requirements, including debt amortization, capital expenditures, pension contributions, and other operational requirements, for the following year based on our current estimates and forecasts. We believe we will maintain compliance with the new financial ratios set forth in the amended credit agreement. However, our ability to meet the financial covenants depends upon a number of operational and economic factors, including the effects of COVID-19, many of which are beyond our control. In the event we are unable to meet these financial covenants, we would consider several options to meet our cash flow needs. Such actions include additional restructuring initiatives and other cost reductions, sales of assets, reductions to working capital and capital spending, issuance of equity, and other alternatives to enhance our financial and operating position. We also continue to actively monitor credit market conditions for the right opportunity to replace and extend maturity.

(a)We are required to pay commitment fees under the revolving credit facility on the unused portion of the total commitment.
(b)Letters of credit reduce the available borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
At December 31, 2020, the Company had $28 million of outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit facility, which reduces our senior credit facility borrowing availability. In addition, the Company had $75 million of outstanding letters of credit under uncommitted facilities at December 31, 2020.
At December 31, 2020, we had liquidity of $2.3 billion comprised of $803 million of cash and $1.5 billion undrawn on our revolving credit facility. We had no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2020.
Term Loans
We entered into a new credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and other lenders (the “New Credit Facility”) in connection with the Federal-Mogul Acquisition, which has been amended by the first amendment, dated February 14, 2020 (the “First Amendment”), by the second amendment, dated February 14, 2020 (the “Second Amendment”), and by the third amendment, dated May 5, 2020 (the "Third Amendment"). The New Credit Facility consists of $4.9 billion of total debt financing, consisting of a five-year $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, a five-year $1.7 billion term loan A facility (“Term Loan A”) and a seven-year $1.7 billion term loan B facility (“Term Loan B”). We paid $8 million in one-time fees in connection with the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, and $10 million in one-time fees in connection with the Third Amendment.
New Credit Facility — Interest Rates and Fees
At December 31, 2020, prior to giving effect to the Third Amendment, the interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan A facility was LIBOR plus 2.50% and will remain at LIBOR plus 2.50% for each relevant period for which the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility) is equal to or greater than 6.0 to 1. The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan A facility are subject to step down as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consolidated net leverage ratio
|
Interest rate
|
greater than 3.0 to 1
|
LIBOR plus 2.00%
|
less than 3.0 to 1 and greater than 2.5 to 1
|
LIBOR plus 1.75%
|
less than 2.5 to 1 and greater than 1.5 to 1
|
LIBOR plus 1.50%
|
less than 1.5 to 1
|
LIBOR plus 1.25%
|
The Third Amendment provides for an increase to the margin applicable to borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan A facility at certain leverage levels as set forth below as one of several conditions for obtaining less restrictive financial maintenance covenants described below under New Credit Facility — Other Terms and Conditions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consolidated net leverage ratio
|
Interest rate
|
greater than 6.0 to 1
|
LIBOR plus 2.50%
|
less than 6.0 to 1 and greater than 4.5 to 1
|
LIBOR plus 2.25%
|
Initially, and so long as the Company's corporate family rating is Ba3 (with a stable outlook) or higher from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and BB- (with a stable outlook) or higher from Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”), the interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan B facility will be LIBOR plus 2.75%; at any time the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, the interest rate on the Term Loan B facility will be LIBOR plus 3.00%. When the Term Loan B facility is no longer outstanding and the Company and its subsidiaries have no other secured indebtedness (with certain exceptions set forth in the New Credit Facility), and upon the Company achieving and maintaining two or more corporate credit and/or corporate family ratings higher than or equal to BBB- from S&P, BBB- from Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”) and/or Baa3 from Moody’s (in each case, with a stable or positive outlook), the collateral under the New Credit Facility may be released. On June 3, 2019, Moody’s lowered our corporate family rating to B1 and the interest rate on borrowings under the term loan B was raised to LIBOR plus 3.00%.
New Credit Facility — Other Terms and Conditions
The New Credit Facility contains representations and warranties, and covenants which are customary for debt facilities of this type. The Third Amendment provided relief from the financial maintenance covenants for the revolving credit facility and Term Loan A facility subject to the non-occurrence of certain covenant reset triggers (“Covenant Reset Triggers”) that limit certain of our activities by implementing more restrictive affirmative and negative covenants, as more fully described below. After giving effect to the Third Amendment, the financial maintenance covenants for the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan A facility include (i) a requirement to have a senior secured leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility), with step-downs, as detailed in the table below; (ii) a requirement to have a consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility), with step-downs, as follows:
|
|

and (iii) a requirement to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of not less than 2.75 to 1 as of March 31, 2020, 2.00 to 1 as of June 30, 2020, 1.50 to 1 through March 31, 2021, and 2.75 to 1 thereafter.
If a Covenant Reset Trigger occurs, the financial maintenance covenants for the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan A facility revert back to the previous financial maintenance covenants in effect immediately prior to the Third Amendment (the “Prior Financial Covenants”), including (i) a requirement to have a consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility), at the end of each fiscal quarter, with step-downs, as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
(i) Consolidated net leverage ratio
|
not greater than 4.50 to 1
|
through March 31, 2021
|
not greater than 4.25 to 1
|
through September 30, 2021
|
not greater than 4.00 to 1
|
through March 31, 2022
|
not greater than 3.75 to 1
|
through September 30, 2022
|
not greater than 3.50 to 1
|
thereafter
|
and (ii) a requirement to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of not less than 2.75 to 1.
In addition, we may make a one-time election to revert back to the Prior Financial Covenants and terminate the applicability of the Covenant Reset Triggers upon delivery of a covenant reset certificate to the administrative agent under the New Credit Facility that attests to compliance with the Prior Financial Covenants as of the end of the relevant fiscal period (“Covenant Reset Certificate”). Refer to Note 11, “Debt and Other Financing Arrangements” included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional details.
The Covenant Reset Triggers include certain limitations on our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (a) incur additional indebtedness, (b) enter into additional sales and leasebacks, (c) create additional liens over their assets, (d) pay dividends or distributions to Tenneco’s stockholders, (e) prepay certain unsecured indebtedness of us or our restricted subsidiaries (as more fully described below), (f) make additional investments, (g) dispose of material intellectual property, and (h) reinvest the proceeds of certain asset sales in the business in lieu of repaying indebtedness, each as more specifically described in the Third Amendment. These limitations are in addition to other affirmative and negative covenants (with customary exceptions, materiality qualifiers and limitations) in the New Credit Facility, including with respect to: financial reporting; payment of taxes; maintenance of existence; compliance with law and material contractual obligations; maintenance of property and insurance; inspection of property, books and records; notices of certain events; compliance with environmental laws; provision and maintenance of collateral perfection; satisfaction of the financial maintenance covenants described above; incurrence of indebtedness; permitting liens over assets; mergers, consolidations, dispositions or other fundamental transactions; dispositions and asset sales; restricted payments; investments; compliance with limitations on certain transactions with nonconsolidated affiliates; sale and leaseback transactions; changes in fiscal periods; negative pledge clauses in certain contracts; changes to lines of business; prepayments and modifications of certain subordinated indebtedness (as more fully described below); use of proceeds; transactions involving special purpose finance subsidiaries; and transactions related to effectuating a spin-off (as defined in the New Credit Facility), each as more specifically described in the New Credit Facility.
The Covenant Reset Triggers in the Third Amendment generally prohibit us from repaying the Senior Unsecured Notes. After giving effect to the Third Amendment, so long as no default exists under its New Credit Facility, we would be permitted to (i) make regularly scheduled interest and principal payments as and when due in respect of the Senior Unsecured Notes, (ii) refinance the Senior Unsecured Notes with the net cash proceeds of permitted refinancing indebtedness (as defined in the New Credit Facility); (iii) make payments in respect of the Senior Unsecured Notes in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of qualified capital stock (as defined in the New Credit Facility) issued after May 5, 2020; (iv) convert any Senior Unsecured Notes into qualified capital stock issued after May 5, 2020; and (v) make additional payments of the Senior Unsecured Notes provided that after giving effect to such additional payments the consolidated leverage ratio would be equal to or less than 2.00 to 1 after giving effect to such additional payments. The foregoing limitations regarding repayment and refinancing of the Senior Unsecured Notes apply from the effectiveness of the Third Amendment until delivery of a Covenant Reset Certificate.
The covenants in the New Credit Facility generally prohibit us from repaying certain subordinated indebtedness. So long as no default exists, we would, under our New Credit Facility, be permitted to repay or refinance our subordinated indebtedness (i) with the net cash proceeds of permitted refinancing indebtedness (as defined in the New Credit Facility); (ii) in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of qualified capital stock (as defined in the New Credit Facility) issued after October 1, 2018; (iii) in exchange for qualified capital stock issued after October 1, 2018; and (iv) with additional payments provided that such additional payments are capped based on a pro forma consolidated leverage ratio after giving effect to such additional payments.
Such additional payments on subordinated indebtedness (x) will not be permitted at any time the pro forma consolidated leverage ratio is greater than 2.00 to 1 after giving effect to such additional payments and (y) will be permitted in an unlimited amount at any time the pro forma consolidated leverage ratio is equal to or less than 2.00 to 1 after giving effect to such additional payments.
The New Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, including, as a condition to future revolver borrowings, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of borrowing, including representations (with customary exceptions, materiality qualifiers and limitations) as to: existence; compliance with law; power, authority and enforceability; no violation of law or material contracts; material litigation; no default under the New Credit Facility and related documents; ownership of property, including material intellectual property; payment of material taxes; compliance with margin stock regulations; labor matters; ERISA; Investment Company Act matters; subsidiaries; use of loan proceeds; environmental matters; accuracy of information; security documents; solvency; anti-corruption laws and sanctions; and that since December 31, 2017 there has been no development or event that has had a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, each as more specifically described in the New Credit Facility.
The New Credit Facility includes customary events of default and other provisions that could require all amounts due thereunder to become immediately due and payable, either automatically or at the option of the lenders, if we fail to comply with the terms of the New Credit Facility or if other customary events occur. These events of default (with customary exceptions, materiality qualifiers, limitations and grace periods) include: (i) failure to pay obligations under the New Credit Facility when due; (ii) material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; (iii) failure to comply with the covenants in the New Credit Facility and related documents (as summarized above); (iv) cross-default to material indebtedness; (v) commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; (vi) ERISA events; (vii) certain material judgments; (viii) invalidity or unenforceability of security and guarantee documents; and (ix) change of control, each as more specifically described in the New Credit Facility.
The financial ratios required under the New Credit Facility and the actual ratios we calculated as of December 31, 2020 are as follows: senior secured net leverage ratio of 3.02 actual versus 8.75 (maximum required under the Third Amendment); and interest coverage ratio of 5.04 actual versus 2.75 (minimum required under the Third Amendment). The financial ratios required under the New Credit Facility and the actual ratios we calculated as of December 31, 2019 are as follows: consolidated net leverage ratio of 3.46 actual versus 4.00 (maximum without giving effect to the First Amendment, the Second Amendment or the Third Amendment); and interest coverage ratio of 5.38 actual versus 2.75 (minimum without giving effect to the First Amendment, the Second Amendment or the Third Amendment).

(a) Carrying amount is net of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts or premiums. Total unamortized debt issuance costs were $82 million as of December 31, 2020. Total unamortized debt (premium) discount, net was $(20) million as of December 31, 2020.
At December 31, 2020, we have outstanding 5.375% senior unsecured notes due December 15, 2024 (“2024 Senior Notes”) and 5.000% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2026 (“2026 Senior Notes” and together with the 2024 Senior Notes, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”). We also have outstanding 5.000% euro denominated senior secured notes due July 15, 2024 (“5.000% Euro Fixed Rate Notes”) and floating rate notes due April 15, 2024 ("Euro Floating Rate Notes"). On November 30, 2020, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior secured notes due January 15, 2029 (the “7.875% Senior Secured Notes”). We used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 7.875% Senior Secured Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem all of the outstanding 4.875% euro denominated senior secured notes on December 14, 2020. The 5.000% Euro Fixed Rate Notes, the Euro Floating Rate Notes and the 7.875% Senior Secured Notes (collectively, the “Senior Secured Notes”) were outstanding at December 31, 2020.
Under the indentures covering the Senior Unsecured Notes, we are permitted to redeem some or all of the outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes, at specified redemption prices that decline to par over a specified period, at any time (a) on or after December 15, 2019, in the case of the 2024 Senior Notes and (b) on or after July 15, 2021, in the case of the 2026 Senior Notes. In addition, the Senior Unsecured Notes may also be redeemed at any time at a redemption price generally equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a "make-whole premium" as set forth in the indentures. We did not redeem any of the Senior Unsecured Notes during the year ended December 31, 2020. We are permitted to redeem some or all of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes at specified redemption prices that decline to par over a specified period, at any time (a) on or after July 15, 2020, in the case of the 5.000% Euro Fixed Rate Notes, (b) on or after April 15, 2018, in the case of the Euro Floating Rate Notes and (c) on or after January 15, 2024, in the case of the 7.875% Senior Secured Notes. Prior to July 15, 2020, we may also redeem the 5.00% Euro Fixed Rate Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a "make-whole premium" as set forth in the indenture. Prior to January 15, 2024, we may also redeem the 7.875% Senior Secured Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole premium” as set forth in the indenture. Further, we may also redeem up to 40% of the 5.000% Euro Fixed Rate Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at any time prior to July 15, 2020 at a redemption price of 105.0% of the principal amount thereto, and we may redeem up to 40% of the 7.875% Senior Secured Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at any time prior to January 15, 2024 at a redemption price of 107.875% of the principal amount thereto.
If we experience specified kinds of changes in control, we must offer to repurchase each of the Senior Unsecured Notes and the Senior Secured Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if we sell certain of our assets and do not apply the proceeds from the sale in a certain manner within 365 days of the sale, we must use such unapplied proceeds to make an offer to repurchase each of the 2024 Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Notes — Other Terms and Conditions
The Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Notes contain covenants that will, among other things, limit our and our subsidiaries' ability to create liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the indentures governing the Senior Secured Notes and 2024 Senior Notes also require that, as a condition precedent to incurring certain types of indebtedness not otherwise permitted, our consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as calculated on a pro forma basis, be greater than 2.00, as well as containing restrictions on our operations, including limitations on: (i) incurring additional indebtedness; (ii) paying dividends; (iii) distributions and stock repurchases; (iv) investments; (v) asset sales; (vi) entering into transactions with our affiliates; and (vii) mergers and consolidations.
Subject to limited exceptions, all of our existing and future material, domestic wholly owned subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee our Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Notes on a joint and several basis. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the subsidiaries that have guaranteed our Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Notes to make distributions to us.
Factoring Arrangements
We have securitization programs for some of our accounts receivable, with limited recourse provisions. Borrowings on these securitization programs, which are recorded in short-term debt, at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows (amounts in millions):

We have accounts receivable factoring programs in the U.S. with commercial banks. Under these programs we sell receivables from certain of our U.S. OE customers at a rate that is favorable versus our senior credit facility. These arrangements are uncommitted and provide for cancellation with no less than 30 days prior written notice. In addition, we have other receivable factoring programs in the U.S. with commercial banks under which we sell receivables from certain of our aftermarket customers to whom we have extended payments. These arrangements are uncommitted and may be terminated with 10 days to 30 days prior notice.
We also have subsidiaries in several countries in Europe that are parties to accounts receivable factoring facilities. The commitments for these arrangements are generally for one year, but some may be canceled with notice 90 days prior to renewal. In some instances, the arrangement provides for cancellation by the applicable financial institution at any time upon notification.
Certain of these programs have deferred purchase price arrangements with the banks. These programs provide us with access to cash at costs that are generally favorable to alternative sources of financing.
In the U.S and Canada, we participate in supply chain financing programs with certain of our aftermarket customers to whom we have extended payment terms whereby the accounts receivable are satisfied through the early receipt of negotiable financial instruments that are payable at a later date when payments from our customers are due. We sell these financial instruments before their maturity date to various financial institutions at a discount.
The accounts receivables under the programs described above are transferred in their entirety to the acquiring entities and are accounted for as a sale. The fair value of assets received as proceeds in exchange for the transfer of accounts receivable under these factoring programs approximates the fair value of such receivables. We are the servicer of the receivables under some of these arrangements and are responsible for performing all accounts receivable administration functions. Where we receive a fee to service and monitor these transferred accounts receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not recorded as a result of such activities.
The amount of accounts receivable outstanding and derecognized for these factoring and drafting arrangements was $1.0 billion and $1.0 billion at December 31, 2020 and 2019, of which $0.4 billion and $0.5 billion as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 relate to accounts receivable where we have continuing involvement. In addition, the deferred purchase price receivable was $51 million and $33 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales and drafting programs was $4.1 billion and $5.0 billion for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, of which $3.3 billion and $4.2 billion were received on accounts receivable where we have continuing involvement for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

If we were not able to factor receivables or sell drafts under these programs, our borrowings under our revolving credit agreement might increase. These programs provide us with access to cash at costs that are generally favorable to alternative sources of financing and allow us to reduce borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.
Supply Chain Financing
Certain of our suppliers participate in supply chain financing programs under which they securitize their accounts receivables from us. Financial institutions participate in the supply chain financing program on an uncommitted basis and can cease purchasing receivables or drafts from our suppliers at any time. We began to wind down these programs in 2019 and ended them in the third quarter of 2020.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $629 million, an increase of $185 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The activity was the result of:
•a net increase of $472 million in net cash provided by operating activities due to favorable changes in working capital items; and
•a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital of $287 million.
The favorable working capital changes can be attributed primarily to inventory efficiency gains reflecting higher inventory turns and lower days of inventory on hand. Net cash provided by operating activities was also benefited by renegotiated payment terms with our suppliers and the deferral of payroll taxes under the CARES Act. Our cash flows had a one-time benefit from these items in 2020. We anticipate the 2021 effect of these items to be partially offset by other improvements to cash flow during 2021.

Dividends on Common Stock
We did not pay dividends for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $20 million of cash dividends paid during the year ended December 31, 2019, due to the suspension of the dividend program in the second quarter of 2019.

(a) Short-term, ordinary course payment obligations have been excluded.
If we do not maintain compliance with the terms of our New Credit Facility or senior notes indentures described above, all amounts under those arrangements could, automatically or at the option of the lenders or other debt holders, become due. Additionally, each of those facilities contains provisions that certain events of default under one facility will constitute a default under the other facility, allowing the acceleration of all amounts due. We currently expect to maintain compliance with the terms of all of our various credit agreements for the foreseeable future.
Included in our contractual obligations is the amount of interest to be paid on our long-term debt. As our debt structure contains both fixed and variable rate obligations, we have made assumptions in calculating the amount of future interest payments. Interest on our Senior Unsecured Notes is calculated using the fixed rates of 5.375% and 5.000%, and interest on our fixed rate Senior Secured Notes is calculated using the fixed rates of 5.000% and 7.875%. Interest on our variable rate debt is calculated as LIBOR plus the applicable margin in effect at December 31, 2020 for our term loans, and Euribor plus the applicable margin in effect at December 31, 2020 for our floating rate euro notes. We have assumed that both LIBOR and the Euribor rates will remain unchanged for the outlying years.
We have also included an estimate of expenditures required after December 31, 2020 to complete the projects authorized at December 31, 2020, in which we have made substantial commitments in connection with purchasing property, plant and equipment for our operations. For 2021, we expect our capital expenditures to be between $450 million and $500 million.
We have included an estimate of the expenditures necessary after December 31, 2020 to satisfy purchase requirements pursuant to certain ordinary course supply agreements that we have entered into. With respect to our other supply agreements, they generally do not specify the volumes we are required to purchase. In many cases, if any commitment is provided, the agreements state only the minimum percentage of our purchase requirements we must buy from the supplier. As a result, these purchase obligations fluctuate from year-to-year and we are not able to quantify the amount of our future obligations.
We have not included material cash requirements for unrecognized tax benefits or taxes. It is difficult to estimate taxes to be paid as changes in where we generate income can have a significant effect on our future tax payments. We have also not included cash requirements for funding pension and postretirement benefit costs. Based upon current estimates, we believe we will be required to make contributions of approximately $95 million to those plans in 2021. Pension and postretirement contributions beyond 2021 will be required but those amounts will vary based upon many factors, including the performance of its pension fund investments during 2021 and future discount rate changes. For additional information relating to the funding of our pension and other postretirement plans, refer to Note 13, “Pension Plans, Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits”, in our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 for additional information. In addition, we have not included cash requirements for environmental remediation. Based upon current estimates, we believe we will be required to spend approximately $31 million over the next 30 years. However, due to possible modifications in remediation processes and other factors, it is difficult to determine the actual timing of the payments. Refer to Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies”, in our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 for additional information.
We occasionally provide guarantees that could require it to make future payments in the event that the third-party primary obligor does not make its required payments. The Company is not required to record a liability for any of these guarantees.
Additionally, we have from time to time issued guarantees for the performance of obligations by some of our subsidiaries, and some of our subsidiaries have guaranteed our debt. All of our existing and future material domestic subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee our New Credit Facility and our senior notes on a joint and several basis. The New Credit Facility is also secured by first-priority liens on substantially all our domestic assets and pledges of up to 66% of the stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries. As described above, certain of our senior notes are secured by pledges of stock and assets.
Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
Basis of Presentation
Substantially all of the Company's existing and future material domestic 100% owned subsidiaries (which are referred to as the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") fully and unconditionally guarantee its senior notes on a joint and several basis. However, a subsidiary’s guarantee may be released in certain customary circumstances such as a sale of the subsidiary or all or substantially all of its assets in accordance with the indenture applicable to the notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries are combined in the presentation below.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in our consolidated financial statements. These estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and actual results could differ from our estimates. Our significant accounting policies have been disclosed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. The following paragraphs include a discussion of some critical areas where estimates are required.
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
We evaluate goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate goodwill might be impaired. We perform assessments at the reporting unit level by comparing the estimated fair value of our reporting units with goodwill to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if a goodwill impairment exists. If the carrying value of our reporting units exceeds the fair value, the goodwill is considered impaired. Our assessment of fair value utilizes a combination of the income approach, market approach, and, in instances where a reporting unit's free cash flows do not support the value of the underlying assets, an asset approach. In our assessment, for reporting units where the free cash flows support the value of the underlying assets, we apply a 75% weighting to the income approach and a 25% weighting to the market approach. The most significant inputs in estimating the fair value of our reporting units under the income approach are (i) projected operating margins, (ii) the revenue growth rate, and (iii) the discount rate, which is risk-adjusted based on the aforementioned inputs.
Similar to goodwill, we evaluate our indefinite-lived trade names and trademarks for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicated the assets might be impaired. We perform a quantitative assessment of estimating fair values based upon the prospective stream of hypothetical after-tax royalty cost savings discounted at rates that reflect the rates of return appropriate for these intangible assets. The primary, and most sensitive, inputs utilized in determining fair values of our trade names and trademarks are (i) our projected branded product sales, (ii) the revenue growth rate, (iii) the royalty rate, and (iv) the discount rate, which is risk-adjusted based on our projected branded sales.
The basis of the goodwill impairment and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analyses is our annual budget and three-year strategic plan. This includes a projection of future cash flows based on new products, awarded business, customer commitments, and independent market data, which requires us to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows and revenue growth rates. The key factors that affect our estimates are (i) future production estimates; (ii) customer preferences and decisions; (iii) product pricing; (iv) manufacturing and material cost estimates; and (v) product life / business retention. These estimates and assumptions are subject to a high degree of uncertainty.
While we believe the assumptions and estimates used to determine the estimated fair values are reasonable, due to the many variables inherent in estimating fair value and the relative size of the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, differences in assumptions could have a material effect on the results of our analysis. Refer to Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, in our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 for additional information regarding our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
We monitor our long-lived and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment indicators on an on-going basis. If an impairment indicator exists, we test the long-lived asset group for recoverability by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived asset group to its net carrying value. If the net carrying value of the asset group exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, the asset group is written down to its fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. Even if an impairment charge is not recognized, 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.
The basis of the recoverability test is our annual budget and three-year strategic plan. This includes a projection of future cash flows based on new products, awarded business, customer commitments, and independent market data, which requires us to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows and revenue growth rates. The key factors that affect our estimates are (i) future production estimates; (ii) customer preferences and decisions; (iii) product pricing; (iv) manufacturing and material cost estimates; and (v) product life / business retention. These estimates and assumptions are subject to a high degree of uncertainty.
While we believe the projections of anticipated future cash flows and related assumptions are reasonable, differences in assumptions could have a material effect on the results of our analysis.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
We sponsor defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans for certain employees and retirees around the world. Our defined benefit plans are accounted for on an actuarial basis, which requires the selection of various assumptions, including an expected long-term rate of return, discount rate, mortality rates of participants, expected rates of mortality improvement, and health care cost trend rates.
The approach to establishing the discount rate assumption for both our domestic and international plans is based on high-quality corporate bonds. The weighted-average discount rates used to calculate net periodic benefit cost for 2020 and year-end obligations as of December 31, 2020 were as follows:

Our approach to determining the assumption for the expected return on plan assets evaluates both historical returns as well as estimates of future returns. It is further adjusted for any expected changes in the long-term outlook for the equity and fixed income markets and for changes in the composition of pension plan assets. As a result, our estimate of the weighted average long-term rate of return on plan assets for all of our pension plans decreased to 5.1% in 2020 from 5.4% in 2019.
Our pension plans generally do not require employee contributions. Our policy is to fund these pension plans in accordance with applicable domestic and international government regulations. At December 31, 2020, all legal funding requirements had been met.
The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a change in certain assumptions for our pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations. The changes in these assumptions have no effect on our funding requirements.

Refer to Note 13, “Pension Plans, Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits”, in our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 for additional information regarding our pension and other postretirement employee benefit costs and assumptions.
Warranty Reserves
We provide warranties on some, but not all, of our products. The warranty terms vary but range from one year up to limited lifetime warranties on some of our premium aftermarket products. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold or when specific warranty issues are identified on OE products. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims and upon specific warranty issues as they arise. While we have not experienced any material differences between these estimates and our actual costs, it is reasonably possible that future warranty issues could arise that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities which reflect the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying value of assets and liabilities and the tax reporting values. Future tax benefits of net operating losses (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards are also recognized as deferred tax assets on a taxing jurisdiction basis. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will apply in the years in which we expect the temporary differences to be recovered or paid. Changes in tax laws or accounting standards and methods may affect recorded deferred taxes in future periods.
Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each tax jurisdiction. In the event our operating performance deteriorates in a filing jurisdiction or entity, future assessments could conclude that a larger valuation allowance will be needed to further reduce the deferred tax assets. 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”, in our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional information.
In addition, the calculation of our tax benefits and liabilities includes uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. We recognize tax benefits and liabilities based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. We adjust these liabilities based on changing facts and circumstances; however, due to complexity of some of these uncertainties and the effect of any tax audits, the ultimate resolutions may be materially different from our estimated liabilities.
MARKET RISK SENSITIVITY
We are exposed to certain global market risks, including foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk, interest rate risk associated with our debt, and equity price risk associated with our share-based compensation awards.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We manufacture and sell our products in North America, South America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. As a result, our financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we manufacture and sell our products. We generally try to use natural hedges within our foreign currency activities, including the matching of revenues and costs, to minimize foreign currency risk. Where natural hedges are not in place, we consider managing certain aspects of our foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the use of foreign currency options or forward contracts. Principal currencies hedged have historically included the U.S. dollar, euro, British pound, Polish zloty, Singapore dollar, Thailand bhat, South African rand, Mexican peso, and Canadian dollar.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
We enter into foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to mitigate our exposure to changes in exchange rates on certain intercompany and third-party trade receivables and payables. In managing our foreign currency exposures, we identify and aggregate existing offsetting positions and then hedge residual exposures through third-party derivative contracts. The gains or losses on these contracts are recognized as foreign currency gains (losses) within “Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)” in the consolidated statements of income (loss). The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is recognized in “Prepayments and other current assets” or “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these derivative instruments is not considered material to the consolidated financial statements.
The following table summarizes by position the notional amounts for foreign currency forward contracts at December 31, 2020, all of which mature in the next twelve months (amounts in millions):

A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the U.S. relative to all other currencies would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows with regard to changes in the fair values of foreign currency forward contracts.
We are exposed to foreign currency risk due to translation of the results of certain international operations into U.S. dollars as part of the consolidation process. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can therefore create volatility in the results of operations and may adversely affect our financial condition.

Senior Secured Notes — We have foreign currency denominated debt, €344 million of which was designated as a net investment hedge in certain foreign subsidiaries and affiliates of ours. As such, an adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates will have no effect on earnings. For the portion not designated as a net investment hedge, we have other natural hedges in place that will offset any adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates.
A hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates between the euro and U.S. dollar would increase the amount of cash required to settle these notes by approximately $91 million as of December 31, 2020.
Commodity Price Risk
Our production processes are dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials that are exposed to price fluctuations on the open market. Commodity rate price forward contracts are executed to offset a portion of our exposure to the potential change in prices for raw materials, principal raw materials hedged include copper, nickel, tin, zinc, and aluminum. The primary purpose of our commodity price forward contract activity is to manage the volatility associated with forecasted purchases for up to 18 months in the future. We monitor our commodity price risk exposures regularly to maximize the overall effectiveness of its commodity forward contracts. In certain instances, within this program, foreign currency forwards may be used in order to match critical terms for commodity exposure. The fair value of our commodity price forward contracts was a net asset position of $3 million on an equivalent notional amount of $10 million as of December 31, 2020. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in commodity prices would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows with regard to changes in the fair values of commodity forward contracts.
Interest Rate Risk
Our financial instruments that are sensitive to market risk for changes in interest rates are primarily our debt securities. We use our revolving credit facility to finance our short-term and long-term capital requirements. We pay a current market rate of interest on these borrowings. Our long-term capital requirements have been financed with long-term debt with original maturity dates ranging from five to ten years. At December 31, 2020, we had $1.7 billion par value of fixed rate debt and $3.5 billion par value of floating rate debt. Of the fixed rate debt, $653 million is fixed through 2024, $500 million is fixed through 2026, and $500 million is fixed through 2029. For more detailed explanations on our debt structure and senior credit facility, refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Liquidity and Financing Arrangements” earlier in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
We estimate the fair value of our long-term debt at December 31, 2020 was about 99% of its book value. A one percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates related to our variable interest rate debt would increase or decrease the annual interest expense we recognize in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and the cash we pay for interest expense by approximately $37 million.
Equity Price Risk
We selectively use swaps to reduce market risk associated with our deferred compensation liabilities, which increase as our stock price increases and decrease as our stock price decreases. We have entered into a cash-settled share swap agreement which moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing us to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount. At December 31, 2020, we hedged our deferred compensation liability related to approximately 1,700,000 common share equivalents. We also have an S&P 500 index fund ETF swap agreement to further reduce our market risk, which will act as a natural hedge offsetting an equivalent amount of indexed investments in our deferred compensation plans. The fair value of these swap agreements is recorded in “Prepayments and other current assets” or “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these derivative instruments is not considered material to the consolidated financial statements.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF TENNECO INC.
AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of Tenneco Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Our 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. 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.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).
Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included herein.
February 24, 2021
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Tenneco Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tenneco Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases in 2019.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, 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 opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
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 (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 (iii) 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.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Interim Goodwill Impairment Assessment – Certain Reporting Units
As described in Notes 2 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance was $508 million as of December 31, 2020. Management evaluates goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. As a result of the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the Company’s projected financial information, management concluded that it was more likely than not the fair values of four reporting units, including a reporting unit within the Motorparts segment and a reporting unit within the Powertrain segment, had declined below their carrying values during the three months ended March 31, 2020. An impairment indicator exists when a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value of a reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income approach and market approach. Assumptions used in the income approach that have the most significant effect on the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units are the discount rate, revenue growth rate and projected operating margins. As a result of the impairment indicator discussed above, the Company recorded goodwill impairments of $267 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, including partial impairments of a certain reporting unit within each of the Motorparts and Powertrain segments.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of certain reporting units is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value measurement of the reporting units; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the discount rate, revenue growth rate and projected operating margins; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of reporting units. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimates; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the income approach and market approach methods; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the estimates; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management, including the discount rate, the revenue growth rate and projected operating margins. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to the revenue growth rate and projected operating margins involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the reporting units, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company's income approach and market approach methods, and the discount rate assumptions.
Interim Indefinite-lived Intangible Asset Impairment Assessment – Certain Trade Names and Trademarks
As described in Notes 2 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated indefinite-lived intangible asset balance was $237 million as of December 31, 2020. Indefinite-lived intangible assets include trade names and trademarks. Management conducts an impairment analysis annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. As a result of the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the Company’s projected financial information, management concluded that it was more likely than not the fair values of trade names and trademarks, including trade names and trademarks within the Motorparts segment and trade names and trademarks within the Ride Performance segment, had declined below their carrying values during the three months ended March 31, 2020. An impairment exists when the trade names and trademarks' carrying value exceeds its fair value. The fair values of these assets are based upon the prospective stream of hypothetical after-tax royalty cost savings discounted at rates that reflect the rates of return appropriate for these intangible assets. Assumptions used in the impairment assessment of the trade names and trademarks that have the most significant effect on the estimated fair value are projected branded product sales, the revenue growth rate, the royalty rate and the discount rate. As a result of the impairment indicator discussed above, the Company
recorded indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments of $51 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, including partial impairments of trade names and trademarks within each of the Motorparts and Ride Performance segments.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the certain trade names and trademarks impairment assessment of a certain asset within the Motorparts segment and a certain asset within the Ride Performance segment is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value measurement of the trade names and trademarks; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the projected branded product sales, the revenue growth rates, the royalty rates and the discount rates; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of the Company’s trade names and trademarks. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimates; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation model; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the model; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management, including the projected branded product sales, the revenue growth rate, the royalty rate and the discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to projected branded product sales and the revenue growth rate involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of branded products; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of management’s valuation model and the royalty rate and discount rate assumptions.

TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, except share and per share amounts, or as otherwise noted)
1. Description of Business
Tenneco Inc. (“Tenneco” or “the Company”) was formed under the laws of Delaware in 1996. The Company designs, manufactures, markets, and distributes products and services for light vehicle, commercial truck, off-highway, industrial, motorsport, and aftermarket customers. The Company manufactures innovative clean air, powertrain and ride performance products and systems, and serves both original equipment (“OE”) manufacturers and the repair and replacement markets worldwide.
On January 10, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of a 90.5% ownership interest in Öhlins Intressenter AB (“Öhlins”, the “Öhlins Acquisition”), a Swedish technology company that develops premium suspension systems and components for the automotive and motorsport industries.
Effective October 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Federal-Mogul LLC (“Federal-Mogul”) (the “Federal-Mogul Acquisition”), a global supplier of technology and innovation in vehicle and industrial products for fuel economy, emissions reductions, and safety systems. Federal-Mogul served the world’s foremost OE manufacturers of light vehicle, commercial truck, off-highway, and industrial equipment, as well as the worldwide aftermarket.
The Company has previously announced its review of a full range of strategic options to enhance shareholder value creation, including a potential separation of the Company into an Aftermarket and Ride Performance company and a new Powertrain Technology company. In light of current market conditions and other factors, the Company's current efforts to optimize shareholder value creation are also focused on operational improvements, reducing structural costs, lowering capital intensity, reducing debt, and growth in targeted business lines.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation: The Company consolidates into its financial statements the accounts of the Company, all wholly owned subsidiaries, and any partially owned subsidiary it has the ability to control. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby investments more than 50% owned are consolidated, investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are accounted for using the equity method, and investments in affiliates of 20% or less are accounted for using the cost method. Refer to Note 8, “Investment in Nonconsolidated Affiliates”.
The Company does not have any entities that it consolidates based solely on the power to direct the activities and significant participation in the entity's expected results that would not otherwise be consolidated based on control through voting interests. Further, its affiliates are businesses established and maintained in connection with its operating strategy and are not special purpose entities. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.
At December 31, 2020, the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic continued, the extent of which will depend on a number of factors, including the duration and severity. Therefore, there are many uncertainties that remain related to COVID-19 that could negatively affect the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
Liquidity Matters: In response to the expected economic effects of COVID-19, the Company implemented various cost reduction initiatives, including, but not limited to reductions to salary costs and unpaid furloughs; the restructuring actions as discussed in Note 4, “Restructuring Charges, Net and Asset Impairments”; and the deferral of the Company’s portion of its 2020 employer paid payroll taxes under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
On May 5, 2020, the Company entered into a third amendment to its credit agreement to increase the maximum leverage ratio and decrease the minimum interest coverage ratio. At December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its credit agreement.
On November 30, 2020, the Company completed a private offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2029. The Company used the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to redeem all of its outstanding 4.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 and to pay related transaction costs, expenses, and premiums on December 14, 2020. The amendment and debt issuance are discussed in more detail in Note 11, “Debt and Other Financing Arrangements”.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of original issuance to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value.
Restricted Cash: The Company is required to provide cash collateral in connection with certain contractual arrangements and statutory requirements. The Company has $5 million and $2 million of restricted cash at December 31, 2020 and 2019 in support of these arrangements and requirements.
Notes and Accounts Receivable: Notes and accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value, which approximates fair value. Receivables are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The allowance is an estimate based on expected losses, current economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of each customer's trade accounts or notes receivable. A receivable is past due if payments have not been received within the agreed-upon invoice terms. Account balances are charged-off against the allowance when management determines the receivable will not be recovered.
The allowance for doubtful accounts on short-term and long-term accounts receivable was $32 million and $28 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The allowance for doubtful accounts on short-term and long-term notes receivable was zero at both December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost methods. Work in process includes purchased parts such as substrates coated with precious metals. Cost of inventory includes direct materials, labor, and applicable manufacturing overhead costs. The value of inventories is reduced for excess and obsolescence based on management's review of on-hand inventories compared to historical and estimated future sales and usage.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests: The Company has noncontrolling interests with redemption features. These redemption features could require the Company to make an offer to purchase the noncontrolling interests in the event of a change in control of Tenneco Inc. or certain of its subsidiaries.
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company holds redeemable noncontrolling interests of $45 million and $44 million which are not currently redeemable, or probable of becoming redeemable. The redemption of these noncontrolling interests is not solely within the Company's control, therefore, they are presented in the temporary equity section of the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not believe it is probable the redemption features related to these noncontrolling interest securities will be triggered, as a change in control event is generally not probable until it occurs. As such, these noncontrolling interests have not been remeasured to redemption value.
In addition, at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company holds redeemable noncontrolling interests of $33 million and $152 million which are currently redeemable, or probable of becoming redeemable. These noncontrolling interests are also presented in the temporary equity section of the Company's consolidated balance sheets and have been remeasured to redemption value. The Company immediately recognizes changes to redemption value as a component of “Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the consolidated statements of income (loss). These redeemable noncontrolling interests include the following:
•In connection with the Federal-Mogul Acquisition and in accordance with local regulations, the Company was required to make a tender offer of the shares it did not own for an acquired subsidiary in India. As a result of completing the tender offer during the first quarter of 2020, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was no longer redeemable or probable of becoming redeemable and its carrying value of $82 million was reclassified to permanent equity during the year ended December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the Company recognized a change in the carrying value related to this redeemable noncontrolling interest and recorded an adjustment of $53 million to reflect its redemption value of $131 million. Refer to Note 22, “Related Party Transactions”, for additional information related to the tender offer of this noncontrolling interest; and
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
•A 9.5% ownership interest in Öhlins Intressenter AB (the “KÖ Interest”) was retained by K Öhlin Holding AB (“Köhlin”), as a result of the Öhlins acquisition on January 10, 2019. Köhlin has an irrevocable right at any time after the third anniversary of the Öhlins acquisition to sell the KÖ Interest to the Company. Since it is probable the KÖ Interest will become redeemable, the Company recognized the change in carrying value and recorded an adjustment of $10 million and $5 million to reflect its redemption value as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
The following is a rollforward of the activity in the redeemable noncontrolling interests for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:

Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets are recorded at cost or fair value established at acquisition. Definite-lived intangible assets include customer relationships and platforms, patented and unpatented technology, and licensing agreements. Long-lived asset groups are evaluated for impairment when impairment indicators exist. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset group is impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset group exceeds its fair value. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial reporting purposes. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill: Goodwill is determined as the excess of fair value over amounts attributable to specific tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently, if impairment indicators exist. An impairment indicator exists when a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value. When performing the goodwill impairment testing, a reporting units' fair value is based on valuation techniques using the best available information. The assessment of fair value utilizes a combination of the income approach and market approach. The impairment charge is the excess of the goodwill carrying value over the implied fair value of goodwill using a one-step quantitative approach.
Trade Names and Trademarks: Trade names and trademarks are stated at fair value established at acquisition or cost. These indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently, if impairment indicators exist. An impairment exists when a trade name and trademarks' carrying value exceeds its fair value. The fair values of these assets are based upon the prospective stream of hypothetical after-tax royalty cost savings discounted at rates that reflect the rates of return appropriate for these intangible assets. The impairment charge is the excess of the assets carrying value over its fair value.
Pre-production Design and Development and Tooling Assets: The Company expenses pre-production design and development costs as incurred unless there is a contractual guarantee for reimbursement from the original equipment (“OE”) customer. Costs for molds, dies, and other tools used to make products sold on long-term supply arrangements for which the Company has title to the assets are capitalized in property, plant, and equipment and amortized to cost of sales over the shorter of the term of the arrangement or over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs for molds, dies, and other tools used to make products sold on long-term supply arrangements for which the Company has a contractual guarantee for reimbursement or has the non-cancelable right to use the assets during the term of the supply arrangement from the customer are capitalized.
“Prepayments and other current assets” in the consolidated balance sheets included $143 million and $162 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019 for in-process tools and dies being built for OE customers and unbilled pre-production design and development costs.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Internal Use Software Assets: Certain costs related to the purchase and development of software used in the business operations are capitalized. Costs attributable to these software systems are amortized over their estimated useful lives based on various factors such as the effects of obsolescence, technology, and other economic factors. Additions to capitalized software development costs, including payroll and payroll-related costs for those employees directly associated with developing and obtaining the internal use software, are classified as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized on the basis of the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences that exist between the financial statement carrying value of assets and liabilities and the respective tax values, and net operating losses (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards on a taxing jurisdiction basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that will apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or paid. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recorded in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date under the law.
Deferred income tax assets are evaluated quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted. Valuation allowances are established in certain jurisdictions based on a more likely than not standard. The ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each tax jurisdiction. The Company considers the various possible sources of taxable income when assessing the realization of its deferred tax assets. The valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets generated by taxable losses in certain jurisdictions will affect the provision for income taxes until the valuation allowances are released. The Company's provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit for losses incurred and no tax expense with respect to income generated in these jurisdictions until the respective valuation allowance is eliminated.
The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby it is determined whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position, and for those tax positions that meet the more likely than not criteria, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority is recognized.
The Company elected to account for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) as a current-period expense when incurred.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plan Obligations: Pensions and other postretirement employee benefit costs and related liabilities and assets are dependent upon assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, long term rate of return on plan assets, health care cost trends, compensation, and other factors. Actual results that differ from the assumptions used are accumulated and amortized over future periods, and accordingly, generally affect recognized expense in future periods. The cost of benefits provided by defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans is recorded in the period employees provide service. Future pension expense for certain significant funded benefit plans is calculated using an expected return on plan asset methodology.
Investments with registered investment companies, common and preferred stocks, and certain government debt securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the securities are traded. Corporate debt securities are valued by third-party pricing sources using the multi-dimensional relational model using instruments with similar characteristics. Hedge funds and the collective trusts are valued at net asset value (“NAV”) per share which are provided by the respective investment sponsors or investment advisers.
Revenue Recognition: The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable.
Revenue is recognized for sales to OE and aftermarket customers when transfer of control of the related good or service has occurred. Revenue from most OE and aftermarket goods and services is transferred to customers at a point in time. The customer is invoiced once transfer of control has occurred and the Company has a right to payment. Typical payment terms vary based on the customer and the type of goods and services in the contract. The period of time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. Amounts billed and due from customers are classified as “Customer notes and accounts, net” in the consolidated balance sheets. Standard payment terms are less than one year and the Company applies the practical expedient to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the payment terms are less than one year.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Performance Obligations: The majority of the Company's customer contracts with OE and aftermarket customers are long-term supply arrangements. The performance obligations are established by the enforceable contract, which is generally considered to be the purchase order but, in some cases could be the delivery release schedule. The purchase order, or related delivery release schedule, is of a duration of less than one year. As such, the Company does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less, for which work has not yet been performed.
Rebates: The Company accrues for rebates pursuant to specific arrangements primarily with aftermarket customers. Rebates generally provide for payments to customers based upon the achievement of specified purchase volumes and are recorded as a reduction of sales as earned by such customers.
Product Returns: Certain aftermarket contracts with customers include terms and conditions that result in a customer right of return that is accounted for on a gross basis. For these contracts the Company has recorded a refund liability within other accrued liabilities and a return asset within “Prepayments and other current assets” in the consolidated balance sheets.
Shipping and Handling Costs: Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control of a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in “Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)” in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Sales and Sales Related Taxes: The Company collects and remits taxes assessed by various governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing transactions with its customers. These taxes may include, but are not limited to, sales, use, value-added, and some excise taxes. The collection and remittance of these taxes is reported on a net basis.
Contract Balances: Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date on contracts with customers. The contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily relate to contracts where advance payments or deposits have been received, but performance obligations have not yet been met, and therefore, revenue has not been recognized. There have been no impairment losses recognized related to any accounts receivable or contract assets arising from the Company’s contracts with customers.
Engineering, Research, and Development: The Company records engineering, research, and development costs (“R&D”) net of customer reimbursements as they are considered a recovery of cost.
Advertising and Promotion Expenses: The Company expenses advertising and promotional expenses as incurred and these expenses were $24 million, $45 million, and $36 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018.
Other Income (Expense): Other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily includes a $22 million recovery of value-added tax in a foreign jurisdiction.
Foreign Currency Translation: Exchange adjustments related to foreign currency transactions and remeasurement adjustments for foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar are reflected in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Translation adjustments of foreign subsidiaries for which local currency is the functional currency are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”. Transaction gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized in earnings as incurred, except for those intercompany balances for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future. The amounts recorded in “Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)” in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for foreign currency transactions included $17 million of losses, $11 million of losses, and $15 million of gains for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018.
Asset Retirement Obligations: The Company records asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) when liabilities are probable and amounts can be reasonably estimated. The Company's primary ARO activities relate to the removal of hazardous building materials at its facilities.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Derivative Financial Instruments: For derivative instruments to qualify as hedging instruments, they must be designated as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Gains and losses related to a hedge are either recognized in income immediately to offset the gain or loss on the hedged item or are deferred and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion of a derivative financial instrument, determined using the hypothetical derivative method, is recognized in earnings immediately. The gain or loss related to derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges are recognized immediately in earnings. Cash flows related to hedging activities are included in the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Income Taxes: In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2019-12: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improves consistent application of and simplifies U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The ASU allows certain simplifications in the annual effective tax rate computations, which did not have material effect on the consolidated financial statements. The Company early adopted this ASU on a prospective basis beginning January 1, 2020.
Intangibles: On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
That Is a Service Contract, which includes amendments to align the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. The Company adopted this ASU on a prospective basis beginning January 1, 2020 and the effects of the adoption were not material on the consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. The standard also allows for early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company adopted this ASU on a prospective basis beginning January 1, 2020 and the effects of the adoption were not material on the consolidated financial statements.
Retirement Benefits: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20). The new standard (i) requires the removal of disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial; (ii) clarifies specific requirements of certain disclosures; and (iii) adds new disclosure requirements, including reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the enhanced disclosures in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the effects of the adoption were not material on the consolidated financial statements.
3. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Öhlins Intressenter AB Acquisition
On January 10, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of a 90.5% ownership interest in Öhlins for a purchase price of $162 million (including $4 million of cash acquired). The remaining 9.5% ownership interest in Öhlins was retained by Köhlin. Köhlin has an irrevocable right at any time after the third anniversary of the Öhlins Acquisition to sell the KÖ Interest to the Company. Refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, for further information on the KÖ Interest. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company adjusted the initial allocation of the total purchase consideration, which resulted in a $14 million increase to goodwill.

Acquisition of Federal-Mogul
On October 1, 2018, the Company closed on the acquisition of all of the interests in Federal-Mogul pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 10, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Federal-Mogul, American Entertainment Properties Corporation (“AEP” and, together with certain affiliated entities, the “Sellers”) and Icahn Enterprises L.P. (“IEP”). Total consideration was approximately $3.7 billion. Following the completion of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition, Federal-Mogul was merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company.
At the effective date of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition, the Company's certificate of incorporation was amended and restated (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) in order to create a new class of non-voting convertible common stock of the Company called “Class B Non-Voting Common Stock” (“Class B Common Stock”) with 25,000,000 shares authorized, and to reclassify the Company's existing common stock as “Class A Voting Common Stock” (“Class A Common Stock” and, together with the Class B Common Stock, the “common stock”). Refer to Note 18, “Shareholders' Equity” for additional information on the conversion features of the Class B Common Stock. On the same date, the Company also entered into a new credit facility in connection with the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. The new credit facility includes $4.9 billion of total debt financing, consisting of a five-year $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, a five-year $1.7 billion term loan A facility and a seven-year $1.7 billion term loan B facility. Refer to Note 11, “Debt and Other Financing Arrangements”, for additional information.
Under the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the authorized number of shares was increased from 185,000,000 shares, divided into 135,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01, to 250,000,000 shares, divided into 175,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 25,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01.
The Company (i) paid to AEP an aggregate amount in cash equal to $800 million (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) issued and delivered to AEP an aggregate of 29,444,846 shares of common stock at $41.99 per share (the “Stock Consideration”). The $1.2 billion of common stock was comprised of: (a) 5,651,177 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 equal to 9.9 percent of the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following the closing, and (b) 23,793,669 shares of newly created Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01. The remaining consideration of approximately $1.7 billion was comprised primarily of the repayments of certain Federal-Mogul debt obligations.
Advisory costs associated with the Federal-Mogul Acquisition were $68 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and were recognized as a component of “Selling, general, and administrative” expenses in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

The goodwill consists of the Company's expected future economic benefits that will arise from expected future product sales and synergies from combining Federal-Mogul with its existing portfolio of products. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Refer to Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for additional information on goodwill impairment charges incurred.

Pro forma adjustments described above have been tax affected using the Company's effective rate during the respective periods.
Other Matters Related to the Federal-Mogul Acquisition
On March 3, 2017, and May 1, 2017, certain purported former stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation (“FMHC”) filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery seeking an appraisal of the value of common stock they claim to have held at the time of the January 23, 2017 merger of IEH FM Holdings, LLC into FMHC. IEH FM Holdings, LLC was a wholly owned subsidiary of AEP and a subsidiary of IEP. The two cases were consolidated on May 10, 2017 into: “In re Appraisal of Federal-Mogul Holdings LLC, C.A. No. 2017-0158-AGB.”
Federal-Mogul received a capital contribution of $56 million on June 29, 2018 from its then-parent, IEP, in connection with this matter. At October 1, 2018, Federal-Mogul’s litigation reserve was $55 million, along with accrued interest of $6 million, which was assumed as part of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. On October 19, 2018, the Company reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to settle their claims for $12.01 per share, inclusive of interest payable, or an aggregate of approximately $61 million. The Company paid this settlement in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Assets Held for Sale
The Company classifies assets and liabilities as held for sale (“disposal group”) when management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group, the sale is probable within one year, and the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. The Company also considers whether an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, whether the disposal group is marketed actively for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and whether actions required to complete the plan indicate it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Other non-restructuring asset impairments
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the value of these long-lived asset groups are not recoverable. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company concluded impairment triggers had occurred for certain long-lived asset groups in the Ride Performance segment as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the Company's projected financial information. Accordingly, the Company tested these long-lived asset groups for recoverability by performing undiscounted cash flow analyses. Based on these analyses, the net carrying values of these asset groups exceeded their undiscounted future cash flows. As such, the Company estimated the fair values of these asset groups at March 31, 2020 and compared them to their carrying values. As the net carrying values of these long-lived asset groups exceeded their fair values, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges for property, plant, and equipment of $455 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 10, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for additional information on the fair value estimates used in these analyses.
As a result of changes in the business, during the first quarter of 2020, the Company assessed and concluded an impairment trigger had occurred for certain long-lived asset groups in its corporate component. Accordingly, the Company tested these long-lived asset groups for recoverability. The Company estimated the fair value of these asset groups and compared it to the carrying value. As the net carrying value exceeded fair value, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $17 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Included in the asset impairment charges are $11 million related to property, plant, and equipment and $6 million related to operating lease right-of-use assets.
There are many uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 global pandemic that could negatively affect the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. As a result, if there is an adverse change to the Company’s projected financial information, due to business performance or market conditions, this may be indicative the value of its long-lived assets are not recoverable, which may result in additional non-cash long-lived asset impairment charges in a future period.

As a result, it was determined certain assets, including inventory, would no longer be utilized. As such, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Motorparts segment recognized an $82 million non-cash charge to write-down inventory to its net realizable value.

7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company performs an annual quantitative goodwill and indefinite-lived asset impairment analysis during the fourth quarter. The basis of the goodwill impairment and indefinite-lived intangible asset analyses is the Company's annual budget and three-year strategic plan. This includes a projection of future cash flows, which requires the Company to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows and revenue growth rates. These represent Company-specific inputs and assumptions about the use of the assets, as observable inputs are not available. These estimates and assumptions are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Due to the many variables inherent in estimating fair value and the relative size of the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, differences in assumptions could have a material effect on the results of the analyses. There are many uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 global pandemic that could negatively affect the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. As a result, if there is an adverse change to the Company’s projected financial information, due to business performance or market conditions, this may be indicative that the fair value of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets have declined below their carrying values, which may result in non-cash goodwill or intangible asset impairment charges in a future period.
In the goodwill impairment analysis, for reporting units with goodwill, fair values are estimated using a combination of the income approach and market approach. The Company applies a 75% weighting to the income approach and a 25% weighting to the market approach. The most significant inputs in estimating the fair value of the Company's reporting units under the income approach are (i) projected operating margins, (ii) the revenue growth rate, and (iii) the discount rate, which is risk-adjusted based on the aforementioned inputs.
For the indefinite-lived asset impairment analysis, the fair value is based upon the prospective stream of hypothetical after-tax royalty cost savings discounted at rates that reflect the rates of return appropriate for these intangible assets. The primary, and most sensitive, inputs utilized in determining fair values of trade names and trademarks are (i) projected branded product sales, (ii) the revenue growth rate, (iii) the royalty rate, and (iv) the discount rate, which is risk-adjusted based on the projected branded sales.
Impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets recognized by segment during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 consist of the following:

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that the fair values of certain of its reporting units and its indefinite-lived intangible assets had declined below their carrying values as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the Company's projected financial information. The Company completed a goodwill impairment analysis for four of its reporting units with goodwill in the Powertrain, Motorparts, and Ride Performance segments. The difference between the reporting units' carrying values and fair values were recognized as impairment charges. The Company recognized $267 million in non-cash impairment charges related to its goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2020, which represented full impairments of the goodwill in one reporting unit in the Powertrain segment and one reporting unit in the Ride Performance segment, and partial impairments of goodwill in one reporting unit in the Powertrain segment and one reporting unit in the Motorparts segment.
For the annual impairment test performed in the fourth quarter of 2020, the estimated fair value of all reporting units with goodwill exceeded their carrying values. Additionally, the estimated fair value of all indefinite-lived assets exceeded their carrying values. No additional impairment expense was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The one reporting unit above where fair value is not in excess of carrying value by 25% or more is a reporting unit acquired as part of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition.
The Öhlins Acquisition in 2019 resulted in $42 million of goodwill which was included in the Ride Performance segment. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company made the following adjustments to goodwill in the measurement period to the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Acquisitions:
•an increase of $14 million for the Öhlins Acquisition; and
•a net decrease of $22 million for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition.
The Company recognized goodwill impairment charges of $108 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, which consisted of the following:
•During the first quarter of 2019, the Company reorganized the reporting structure of its Aftermarket, Ride Performance, and Motorparts segments and the underlying reporting units within those segments. The Company reassigned assets and liabilities (excluding goodwill) to the reporting units affected. Goodwill was then reassigned to the reporting units using a relative fair value approach based on the fair value of the elements transferred and the fair value of the elements remaining within the original reporting units. The Company tested goodwill for impairment on a pre-reorganization basis and determined there was no impairment for the affected reporting units. The Company also performed an impairment analysis on a post-reorganization basis and determined $60 million of goodwill was impaired for two reporting units within its Ride Performance segment, one of which was a full impairment of the goodwill. As a result, this non-cash charge was recorded in the first quarter of 2019. Goodwill allocated to other reporting units was supported by the valuation performed at that time;
•During the third quarter of 2019, the Company finalized purchase accounting for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. As a result, the final goodwill allocation was reassigned to the reorganized segments and reporting unit structure that occurred in the first quarter of 2019 using a relative fair value approach and the Company determined an incremental $9 million of goodwill was impaired for one reporting unit in its Ride Performance segment, which continued to represent a full impairment of goodwill in that reporting unit. This non-cash charge was recorded in the third quarter of 2019; and
•As a result of the annual goodwill impairment analysis performed in the fourth quarter of 2019, the estimated fair value of one of the reporting units in the Motorparts segment was lower than its carrying value and an impairment charge of $21 million was recognized, which was a full impairment of the goodwill in that reporting unit. Additionally, the estimated fair value of one of the reporting units in the Powertrain segment was determined to be lower than the carrying value, and a partial goodwill impairment charge of $18 million was recognized. At December 31, 2019, this reporting unit has $40 million of goodwill after recognizing the impairment. This non-cash charge was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019.
As a result of the goodwill impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2018, the estimated fair value for one reporting unit in the Ride Performance segment was lower than its carrying value and an impairment charge of $3 million was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The amortization expense associated with definite-lived intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 was $130 million, $138 million, and $32 million and is included in “Depreciation and amortization” within the consolidated statements of income (loss).
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company also completed an analysis to determine the fair value of its trade names and trademarks for its reporting units in the Ride Performance and Motorparts segments. It was determined their carrying values exceeded their fair values and the Company recognized $51 million in non-cash impairment charges related to these indefinite-lived intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2020, which represented a full impairment of certain trade names and trademarks in the Motorparts segment, and a partial impairment of certain trade names and trademarks in the Ride Performance and Motorparts segments.
As discussed in more details in Note 4, “Restructuring Charges, Net and Asset Impairments”, the Company concluded impairment triggers had occurred during the first quarter of 2020 for certain long-lived asset groups within the Ride Performance segment. As a result, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $65 million related to its definite-lived intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2020, which represented full impairments of the definite-lived intangible assets in these two reporting units.
As a result of the annual indefinite-lived intangible asset analysis performed in the fourth quarter of 2019, the estimated fair value of certain trademarks and trade names within the Motorparts segment were less than their carrying values. Accordingly, non-cash impairment charges of $133 million were recognized, both of which were partial impairments. As a result, the carrying value equals fair value at December 31, 2019.
The expected future amortization expense for the Company's definite-lived intangible assets is as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
9. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to market risk, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity compensation liabilities, and changes in interest rates, which may result in cash flow risks. For exposures not offset within its operations, the Company may enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to its risk management policies, which prohibit holding or issuing derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. 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 whole by corresponding changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. The Company assesses the initial and ongoing effectiveness of its hedging relationships in accordance with its documented policy.
Market Risks
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The Company manufactures and sells its products in North America, South America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. As a result, the Company’s financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets in which the Company manufactures and sells its products. The Company generally tries to use natural hedges within its foreign currency activities, including the matching of revenues and costs, to minimize foreign currency risk. Where natural hedges are not in place, the Company considers managing certain aspects of its foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the use of foreign currency options or forward contracts. Principal currencies hedged have historically included the U.S. dollar, euro, British pound, Polish zloty, Singapore dollar, Thailand bhat, South African rand, Mexican peso, and Canadian dollar.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments including cash equivalents and derivative contracts expose the Company to counterparty credit risk for non-performance. The Company’s counterparties for cash equivalents and derivative contracts are banks and financial institutions that meet the Company’s requirement of high credit standing. The Company’s counterparties for derivative contracts are substantial investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivatives. The Company manages its credit risk through policies requiring minimum credit standing and limiting credit exposure to any one counterparty and through monitoring counterparty credit risks. The Company’s concentration of credit risk related to derivative contracts at December 31, 2020 and 2019 is not material.
Other
The Company presents its derivative positions and any related material collateral under master netting agreements on a net basis. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the time value are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Unrealized gains and losses associated with ineffective hedges, determined using the hypothetical derivative method, are recognized in “Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)” in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Derivative gains and losses included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” for effective hedges are reclassified into operations upon recognition of the hedged transaction. Derivative gains and losses associated with undesignated hedges are recognized in “Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)” in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Derivative Instruments
Foreign currency forward contracts
The Company enters into foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to mitigate its exposure to changes in exchange rates on certain intercompany and third-party trade receivables and payables. In managing its foreign currency exposures, the Company identifies and aggregates existing offsetting positions and then hedges residual exposures through third-party derivative contracts. The gains or losses on these contracts are recognized as foreign currency gains (losses) in “Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)” in the consolidated statements of income (loss). The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is recognized in “Prepayments and other current assets” or “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these derivative instruments is not considered material to the consolidated financial statements, refer to Note 10, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for additional information.
The following table summarizes by position the notional amounts for foreign currency forward contracts at December 31, 2020, all of which mature in the next twelve months (amounts in millions):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Cash-settled Share and Index Swap Transactions
The Company selectively uses swaps to reduce market risk associated with its deferred compensation liabilities, which increase as the Company's stock price increases and decrease as the Company's stock price decreases. The Company has entered into a cash-settled share swap agreement that moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing us to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount. At December 31, 2020, the Company hedged its deferred compensation liability related to approximately 1,700,000 common share equivalents, an increase of 1,100,000 common share equivalents from December 31, 2019. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company entered into an S&P 500 index fund ETF swap agreement to further reduce its market risk, which will act as a natural hedge offsetting an equivalent amount of indexed investments in the Company's deferred compensation plans. The fair value of these swap agreements is recorded in “Prepayments and other current assets” or “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these derivative instruments is not considered material to the consolidated financial statements, refer to Note 10, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for additional information.
Hedging Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges—Commodity Price Risk
The Company’s production processes are dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials that are exposed to price fluctuations on the open market. Commodity price forward contracts are executed to offset a portion of the exposure to potential change in prices for raw materials. Commodities hedged include copper, nickel, tin, zinc, and aluminum. The primary purpose of the Company’s commodity price forward contract activity is to manage the volatility associated with forecasted purchases for up to 18 months in the future. The Company monitors its commodity price risk exposures regularly to maximize the overall effectiveness of its commodity forward contracts. In certain instances, within this program, foreign currency forwards may be used in order to match critical terms for commodity exposure.
The Company has designated these contracts as cash flow hedging instruments. The Company records unrecognized gains and losses in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI or OCL”) and makes regular reclassifying adjustments into “Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)” within the consolidated statements of income (loss) when the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The Company had commodity derivatives outstanding with an equivalent notional amount of $10 million and $19 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019. Substantially all of the commodity price hedge contracts mature within one year.
Net Investment Hedge – Foreign Currency Borrowings
The Company has foreign currency denominated debt, €344 million of which was designated as a net investment hedge in certain foreign subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company. Changes to its carrying value are included in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity in the foreign currency translation component of OCL and offset against the translation adjustments on the underlying net assets of those foreign subsidiaries and affiliates, which are also recorded in OCL. The Company’s debt instruments are discussed further in Note 11, “Debt and Other Financing Arrangements”.

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
A three-level valuation hierarchy, based upon observable and unobservable inputs, is used for fair value measurements. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions based on the best evidence available. A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy definition prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following levels:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1
|
—
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
|
Level 2
|
—
|
Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
|
|
|
|
Level 3
|
—
|
Unobservable inputs based on the Company's own assumptions.
|
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents assets and liabilities included in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, and indicate the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair value:

(a) Cash collateral amounts were $7 million and $3 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, which are included in “Prepayments and other current assets” in the consolidated balance sheets.
Asset and Liability Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short and long-term receivables, accounts payable, and short-term debt approximates fair value.
Cash-Settled Share and Index Swap Agreements
The Company's stock price is used as an observable input in determining the fair value of the cash-settled share swap agreement. The S&P 500 index ETF price is used as an observable input in determining the fair value of this swap agreement.
Commodity Contracts and Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company calculates the fair value of its commodity contracts and foreign currency contracts using commodity forward rates and currency forward rates, to calculate forward values, and then discounts the forward values. The discount rates for all derivative contracts are based on bank deposit rates. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts was a net asset position of $3 million at December 31, 2020 and less than $1 million at December 31, 2019.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to items measured at fair value on a recurring basis, assets may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include long-lived assets and intangible assets which may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the value of these long-lived asset groups are not recoverable. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company concluded certain impairment triggers had occurred for certain long-lived asset groups as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the Company's projected financial information. After failing the undiscounted cash flow recoverability test, the Company estimated the fair values of these long-lived asset groups and compared them to their net carrying values. The fair value measurements related to these long-lived asset groups rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company's assumptions about the use of the assets, as observable inputs are not available (level 3). To determine the fair value of the long-lived asset groups, the Company utilized an asset-based approach. The Company believes the assumptions and estimates used to determine the estimated fair values of the long-lived asset groups are reasonable; however, these estimates and assumptions are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Due to the many variables inherent in estimating fair value, differences in assumptions could have a material effect on the results of the analyses.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
As the net carrying values of the long-lived asset groups exceeded their fair values, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges consisting of $65 million of definite-lived intangible assets and $455 million of property, plant, and equipment, during the year ended December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 4, “Restructuring Charges, Net and Asset Impairments” for additional information on asset impairments and refer to Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for additional information on the definite-lived intangible asset impairments.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate these assets might be impaired. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that the fair values of certain of its reporting units and its indefinite-lived intangible assets had declined to below their carrying values as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the Company's projected financial information. The Company completed analyses to estimate the fair values of these reporting units and its trade names and trademarks. These fair value measurements require the Company to make significant assumptions and estimates that are Company specific, as observable inputs are not available (level 3). The Company believes the assumptions and estimates used to determine the estimated fair value are reasonable; however, these estimates and assumptions are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Due to the many variables inherent in estimating fair value, differences in assumptions could have a material effect on the results of the analyses. Refer to Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for additional information on the most significant inputs to the fair value estimates of reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets.
During the first quarter of 2020, it was determined the carrying values of certain reporting units, and the Company's trade names and trademarks exceeded their fair values. As a result, the Company recognized $267 million in non-cash impairment charges related to its goodwill and $51 million in non-cash impairment charges related to its indefinite-lived intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Company also recorded goodwill and other indefinite lived asset impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 of $241 million and $3 million.

The fair value of the Company's public senior notes and private borrowings under its senior credit facility is based on observable inputs, and its borrowings on the revolving credit facility approximate fair value. The Company also had $180 million and $192 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019 in other debt whose carrying value approximates fair value, which consists primarily of foreign debt with maturities of one year or less.

(a)The Company is required to pay commitment fees under the revolving credit facility on the unused portion of the total commitment.
(b)Letters of credit reduce the available borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
At December 31, 2020, the Company had $28 million of outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit facility, which reduces our senior credit facility borrowing availability. In addition, the Company had $75 million of outstanding letters of credit under uncommitted facilities at December 31, 2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
At December 31, 2020, the Company had liquidity of $2.3 billion comprised of $803 million of cash and $1.5 billion undrawn on its revolving credit facility. We had no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2020.
Term Loans
On October 1, 2018, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and other lenders (the “New Credit Facility”) in connection with the Federal-Mogul Acquisition, which has been amended by the first amendment, dated February 14, 2020 (the “First Amendment”), by the second amendment, dated February 14, 2020 (the “Second Amendment”), and by the third amendment, dated May 5, 2020 (the “Third Amendment”). The New Credit Facility provides $4.9 billion of total debt financing, consisting of a five-year $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, a five-year $1.7 billion term loan A facility (“Term Loan A”) and a seven-year $1.7 billion term loan B facility (“Term Loan B”). The Company paid $8 million in one-time fees in connection with the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, and $10 million in one-time fees in connection with the Third Amendment.
Proceeds from the New Credit Facility were used to finance the cash consideration portion of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition purchase price, to refinance the Company’s then existing senior credit facilities inclusive of the revolver and the tranche A term loan then outstanding (the “Old Credit Facility”), certain senior credit facilities of Federal-Mogul, and to pay fees and expenses related to the acquisition and the financing thereof. The remainder, including future borrowings under the revolving credit facility, will be used for general corporate purposes.
The Company and Tenneco Automotive Operating Company Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, are borrowers under the New Credit Facility, and the Company is the sole borrower under the Term Loan A and Term Loan B facilities. The New Credit Facility is guaranteed on a senior basis by certain material domestic subsidiaries of the Company. Drawings under the revolving credit facility may be in U.S. dollars, British pounds or euros.
The New Credit Facility is secured by substantially all domestic assets of the Company, the subsidiary guarantors, and by pledges of up to 66% of the stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries. The security for the New Credit Facility is pari passu with the security for the outstanding senior secured notes of Federal-Mogul that were assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition and the senior secured notes the Company issued on November 30, 2020. If any foreign subsidiary of the Company is added to the revolving credit facility as a borrower, the obligations of such foreign borrower will be secured by the assets of such foreign borrower, and also will be secured by the assets of, and guaranteed by, the domestic borrowers and domestic guarantors as well as certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company in the chain of ownership of such foreign borrower.
As a result of the refinancing of the revolving credit loan and tranche A term loan under the Old Credit Facility, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily consisting of debt issuance costs incurred at the transaction date and write-off of deferred debt issuance costs related to the refinanced revolving credit loan and tranche A term loan.
New Credit Facility — Interest Rates and Fees
At December 31, 2020, after giving effect to the Third Amendment, the interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan A facility was LIBOR plus 2.50% and will remain at LIBOR plus 2.50% for each relevant period for which the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility) is equal to or greater than 6.0 to 1. The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan A facility are subject to step down as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consolidated net leverage ratio
|
Interest rate
|
greater than 3.0 to 1
|
LIBOR plus 2.00%

|
LIBOR plus 1.50%
|
less than 1.5 to 1
|
LIBOR plus 1.25%
|
The Third Amendment provides for an increase to the margin applicable to borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan A facility at certain leverage levels as set forth below as one of several conditions for obtaining less restrictive financial maintenance covenants described below under New Credit Facility — Other Terms and Conditions:
|
|

Initially, and so long as the Company’s corporate family rating is Ba3 (with a stable outlook) or higher from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and BB- (with a stable outlook) or higher from Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”), the interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan B facility will be LIBOR plus 2.75%; at any time the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, the interest rate on the Term Loan B facility will be LIBOR plus 3.00%. When the Term Loan B facility is no longer outstanding and the Company and its subsidiaries have no other secured indebtedness (with certain exceptions set forth in the New Credit Facility), and upon the Company achieving and maintaining two or more corporate credit and/or corporate family ratings higher than or equal to BBB- from S&P, BBB- from Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”) and/or Baa3 from Moody’s (in each case, with a stable or positive outlook), the collateral under the New Credit Facility may be released. On June 3, 2019, Moody’s lowered our corporate family rating to B1 and the interest rate on borrowings under the term loan B was raised to LIBOR plus 3.00%.
New Credit Facility — Other Terms and Conditions
The New Credit Facility contains representations and warranties, and covenants which are customary for debt facilities of this type. The Third Amendment provided relief from the financial maintenance covenants for the revolving credit facility and Term Loan A facility subject to the non-occurence of certain covenant reset triggers (“Covenant Reset Triggers”) that limit certain activities of the Company by implementing more restrictive affirmative and negative covenants, as more fully described below. After giving effect to the Third Amendment, the financial maintenance covenants for the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan A facility include (i) a requirement to have a senior secured leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility), with step-downs, as detailed in the table below; (ii) a requirement to have a consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility), with step-downs, as follows:

and (iii) a requirement to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of not less than 2.75 to 1 as of March 31, 2020, 2.00 to 1 as of June 30, 2020, 1.50 to 1 through March 31, 2021, and 2.75 to 1 thereafter.
If a Covenant Reset Trigger occurs, the financial maintenance covenants for the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan A facility revert back to the previous financial maintenance covenants in effect immediately prior to the Third Amendment (the “Prior Financial Covenants”), including (i) a requirement to have a consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility), at the end of each fiscal quarter, with step-downs, as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
(i) Consolidated net leverage ratio
|
not greater than 4.50 to 1

|
thereafter
|
and (ii) a requirement to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of not less than 2.75 to 1.
In addition, the Company may make a one-time election to revert back to the Prior Financial Covenants and terminate the applicability of the Covenant Reset Triggers upon delivery of a covenant reset certificate to the administrative agent under the New Credit Facility that attests to compliance with the Prior Financial Covenants as of the end of the relevant fiscal period (“Covenant Reset Certificate”).
TENNECO INC.

The Covenant Reset Triggers include certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (a) incur additional indebtedness, (b) enter into additional sales and leasebacks, (c) create additional liens over their assets, (d) pay dividends or distributions to Tenneco’s stockholders, (e) prepay certain unsecured indebtedness of the Company or its restricted subsidiaries (as more fully described below), (f) make additional investments, (g) dispose of material intellectual property, and (h) reinvest the proceeds of certain asset sales in the business in lieu of repaying indebtedness, each as more specifically described in the Third Amendment. These limitations are in addition to other affirmative and negative covenants (with customary exceptions, materiality qualifiers and limitations) in the New Credit Facility, including with respect to: financial reporting; payment of taxes; maintenance of existence; compliance with law and material contractual obligations; maintenance of property and insurance; inspection of property, books and records; notices of certain events; compliance with environmental laws; provision and maintenance of collateral perfection; satisfaction of the financial maintenance covenants described above; incurrence of indebtedness; permitting liens over assets; mergers, consolidations, dispositions or other fundamental transactions; dispositions and asset sales; restricted payments; investments; compliance with limitations on certain transactions with nonconsolidated affiliates; sale and leaseback transactions; changes in fiscal periods; negative pledge clauses in certain contracts; changes to lines of business; prepayments and modifications of certain subordinated indebtedness (as more fully described below); use of proceeds; transactions involving special purpose finance subsidiaries; and transactions related to effectuating a spin-off (as defined in the New Credit Facility), each as more specifically described in the New Credit Facility.
The Covenant Reset Triggers in the Third Amendment generally prohibit the Company from repaying the Senior Unsecured Notes. After giving effect to the Third Amendment, so long as no default exists under its New Credit Facility, the Company would be permitted to (i) make regularly scheduled interest and principal payments as and when due in respect of the Senior Unsecured Notes, (ii) refinance the Senior Unsecured Notes with the net cash proceeds of permitted refinancing indebtedness (as defined in the New Credit Facility); (iii) make payments in respect of the Senior Unsecured Notes in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of qualified capital stock (as defined in the New Credit Facility) issued after May 5, 2020; (iv) convert any Senior Unsecured Notes into qualified capital stock issued after May 5, 2020; and (v) make additional payments of the Senior Unsecured Notes provided that after giving effect to such additional payments the consolidated leverage ratio would be equal to or less than 2.00 to 1 after giving effect to such additional payments. The foregoing limitations regarding repayment and refinancing of the Senior Unsecured Notes apply from the effectiveness of the Third Amendment until delivery of a Covenant Reset Certificate.
The covenants in the New Credit Facility generally prohibit the Company from repaying certain subordinated indebtedness. So long as no default exists, the Company would, under its New Credit Facility, be permitted to repay or refinance its subordinated indebtedness (i) with the net cash proceeds of permitted refinancing indebtedness (as defined in the New Credit Facility); (ii) in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of qualified capital stock (as defined in the New Credit Facility) issued after October 1, 2018; (iii) in exchange for qualified capital stock issued after October 1, 2018; and (iv) with additional payments provided that such additional payments are capped based on a pro forma consolidated leverage ratio after giving effect to such additional payments.
Such additional payments on subordinated indebtedness (x) will not be permitted at any time the pro forma consolidated leverage ratio is greater than 2.00 to 1 after giving effect to such additional payments and (y) will be permitted in an unlimited amount at any time the pro forma consolidated leverage ratio is equal to or less than 2.00 to 1 after giving effect to such additional payments.
The New Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, including, as a condition to future revolver borrowings, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of borrowing, including representations (with customary exceptions, materiality qualifiers and limitations) as to: existence; compliance with law; power, authority and enforceability; no violation of law or material contracts; material litigation; no default under the New Credit Facility and related documents; ownership of property, including material intellectual property; payment of material taxes; compliance with margin stock regulations; labor matters; ERISA; Investment Company Act matters; subsidiaries; use of loan proceeds; environmental matters; accuracy of information; security documents; solvency; anti-corruption laws and sanctions; and that since December 31, 2017 there has been no development or event that has had a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, each as more specifically described in the New Credit Facility.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The New Credit Facility includes customary events of default and other provisions that could require all amounts due thereunder to become immediately due and payable, either automatically or at the option of the lenders, if the Company fails to comply with the terms of the New Credit Facility or if other customary events occur. These events of default (with customary exceptions, materiality qualifiers, limitations and grace periods) include (i) failure to pay obligations under the New Credit Facility when due; (ii) material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; (iii) failure to comply with the covenants in the New Credit Facility and related documents (as summarized above); (iv) cross-default to material indebtedness; (v) commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; (vi) ERISA events; (vii) certain material judgments; (viii) invalidity or unenforceability of security and guarantee documents; and (ix) change of control, each as more specifically described in the New Credit Facility.
At December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all the financial covenants of the New Credit Facility.
Senior Notes
At December 31, 2020, the Company has outstanding 5.375% senior unsecured notes due December 15, 2024 (“2024 Senior Notes”) and 5.000% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2026 (“2026 Senior Notes” and together with the 2024 Senior Notes, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”). The Company also has outstanding 5.000% euro denominated senior secured notes due July 15, 2024 (“5.000% Euro Fixed Rate Notes”) and floating rate notes due April 15, 2024 (“Euro Floating Rate Notes”). On November 30, 2020, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior secured notes due January 15, 2029 (the “7.875% Senior Secured Notes”). The 5.000% Euro Fixed Rate Notes, the Euro Floating Rate Notes and the 7.875% Senior Secured Notes (collectively, the “Senior Secured Notes”) were outstanding at December 31, 2020.
On December 14, 2020, the Company used the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to redeem all of the outstanding 4.875% euro denominated senior secured notes due 2022. As a result of the redemption of the 4.875% euro denominated senior secured notes, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Under the indentures covering the Senior Unsecured Notes, the Company is permitted to redeem some or all of the outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes, at specified redemption prices that decline to par over a specified period, at any time (a) on or after December 15, 2019, in the case of the 2024 Senior Notes and (b) on or after July 15, 2021, in the case of the 2026 Senior Notes. In addition, the Senior Unsecured Notes may also be redeemed at any time at a redemption price generally equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole premium” as set forth in the indentures. The Company did not redeem any of the Senior Unsecured Notes during the year ended December 31, 2020.
If the Company experiences specified kinds of changes in control, the Company must offer to repurchase the Senior Unsecured Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if the Company sells certain of its assets and does not apply the proceeds from the sale in a certain manner within 365 days of the sale, the Company must use such unapplied sales proceeds to make an offer to repurchase the 2024 Senior Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Senior Secured Notes are secured equally and ratably by a pledge of substantially all the Company's subsidiaries’ domestic assets and by pledges of up to 66% of the stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries. The security for the Senior Secured Notes is pari passu with the security for the New Credit Facility.
The Company is permitted to redeem some or all of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes at specified redemption prices that decline to par over a specified period, at any time (a) on or after July 15, 2020, in the case of the 5.000% Euro Fixed Rate Notes, (b) on or after April 15, 2018, in the case of the Euro Floating Rate Notes and (c) on or after January 15, 2024, in the case of the 7.875% Senior Secured Notes. Prior to July 15, 2020, the Company could have redeemed the 5.00% Euro Fixed Rate Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole premium” as set forth in the indenture. Prior to January 15, 2024, the Company may also redeem the 7.875% Senior Secured Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole premium” as set forth in the indenture. Further, the Company may also redeem up to 40% of the 5.000% Euro Fixed Rate Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at any time prior to July 15, 2020 at a redemption price of 105.0% of the principal amount thereto, and the Company may redeem up to 40% of the 7.875% Senior Secured Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at any time prior to January 15, 2024 at a redemption price of 107.875% of the principal amount thereto.

The Company has designated a portion of the Senior Secured Notes as a net investment hedge of its European operations. As such, the fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of the designated Senior Secured Notes is recorded to cumulative translation adjustment. Refer to Note 9, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities” for further details.
Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Notes - Other Terms and Conditions
The Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Notes contain covenants that will, among other things, limit the Company's ability to create liens and its subsidiaries to create liens on their assets and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the indentures governing the Senior Secured Notes and 2024 Senior Notes also require that, as a condition to incurring certain types of indebtedness not otherwise permitted, the Company’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as calculated on a pro forma basis, be greater than 2.00, as well as containing restrictions on the Company’s operations, including limitations on: (i) incurring additional indebtedness; (ii) paying dividends; (iii) distributions and stock repurchases; (iv) investments; (v) asset sales; (vi) entering into transactions with the Company’s affiliates; and (vii) undertaking mergers and consolidations.
Subject to limited exceptions, all of the Company's existing and future material domestic wholly owned subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee its Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Notes on a joint and several basis. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the subsidiaries that have guaranteed the Company's Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Notes to make distributions to the Company.
At December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants.
Other Debt
Other debt consists primarily of subsidiary debt.
Factoring Arrangements
The Company has securitization programs for some of its accounts receivable, with limited recourse provisions. Borrowings on these securitization programs, which are recorded in short-term debt, at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

In the Company's European and U.S. accounts receivable factoring programs, accounts receivables are transferred in their entirety to the acquiring entities and are accounted for as a sale. The fair value of assets received as proceeds in exchange for the transfer of accounts receivable under these factoring programs approximates the fair value of such receivables. Some of these programs have deferred purchase price arrangements with the banks.
The Company is the servicer of the receivables under some of these arrangements and is responsible for performing all accounts receivable administration functions. Where the Company receives a fee to service and monitor these transferred accounts receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not recorded as a result of such activities.
In the U.S and Canada, the Company participates in supply chain financing programs with certain of the Company's aftermarket customers through drafting programs.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The amount of accounts receivable outstanding and derecognized for these factoring and drafting arrangements was $1.0 billion and $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, of which $0.4 billion and $0.5 billion as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 relate to accounts receivable where the Company has continuing involvement. In addition, the deferred purchase price receivable was $51 million and $33 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales and drafting programs was $4.1 billion, $5.0 billion, and $3.4 billion for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, of which $3.3 billion, $4.2 billion, and $3.0 billion were received on accounts receivable where the Company has continuing involvement for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 .

If the Company were not able to factor receivables or sell drafts under either of these programs, its borrowings under its revolving credit agreement might increase. These programs provide the Company with access to cash at costs that are generally favorable to alternative sources of financing and allow the Company to reduce borrowings under its revolving credit agreement.

13. Pension Plans, Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company sponsors defined contribution plans that provide Company matching contributions for eligible U.S. salaried and hourly employees. Contributions are also made to certain non-U.S. defined contribution plans. The Company recorded expense for these defined contribution plans of approximately $77 million, $76 million, and $43 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans and health care and life insurance benefits for certain employees and retirees around the world. There are also unfunded nonqualified pension plans primarily covering U.S. executives, which are frozen with respect to future benefit accruals. The funding policy for defined benefit pension plans is to contribute the minimum required by applicable laws and regulations or to directly pay benefit payments where appropriate. At December 31, 2020, all legal funding requirements had been met. The Company expects to contribute $23 million to its U.S. pension plans, $49 million to its non-U.S. pension plans, and $23 million to its other postretirement plans in 2021.
Other Benefits
The Company also provides benefits to former or inactive employees paid after employment but before retirement. The liabilities for these postemployment benefits were $81 million and $73 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Significant Events
In December 2020, the Company recognized amendments to one of its U.S. postretirement health care benefit plans for certain retirees who will receive a fixed subsidy payment to purchase health care benefits on a marketplace exchange in lieu of the original plan’s medical benefits during 2021. The amendments to the plan resulted in a negative plan amendment, which reduced the Company's obligation by $57 million with a corresponding decrease of $57 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss (net of taxes of $0 million) as of December 31, 2020. The $57 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction to net periodic postretirement benefit cost over participants' average remaining life expectancy.
In September 2020, the Company renegotiated one of its collective bargaining agreements in the U.S. which eliminated health care benefits in retirement if benefits are not commenced by September 24, 2021 for participants covered by the union agreement. This amendment resulted in a non-cash curtailment gain of $21 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company paid lump sums out of certain pension plans in connection with a previously announced plant closure. These lump sums were paid out of the pension plan assets and resulted in a non-cash settlement charge of $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
In December 2019, the Company approved an amendment for one of its U.S. postretirement benefit plans that eliminated health care and life insurance benefits in retirement for active salaried and nonunion hourly employees if benefits are not commenced by the earlier of (i) one-year from the date of separation, or (ii) July 1, 2021. In addition, the Company approved an amendment for another of its U.S. postretirement benefit plans to eliminate health care benefits for certain retirees. These actions reduced the Company's obligations by $17 million with a corresponding decrease of $13 million to accumulated other comprehensive loss (net of taxes of $4 million) at December 31, 2019 and a non-cash curtailment gain of $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The $17 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction to net periodic postretirement benefit cost over participants' average remaining service periods or remaining life expectancy.
During 2019, the Company also offered a voluntary lump sum window for one of its U.S. defined benefit pension plans to terminated vested participants that met certain eligibility criteria. These benefits were paid in December 2019 out of the pension plan assets and resulted in a non-cash settlement charge of $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
In December 2018, the Company approved an amendment for one of its U.S. postretirement health care benefit plans. Beginning June 1, 2019, eligible retirees that opt to receive benefits will receive a fixed subsidy payment to purchase health care benefits on a marketplace exchange in lieu of the original plan’s medical benefits. The amendments to the plan resulted in a plan remeasurement and recognition of a negative plan amendment, which reduced the Company's obligation by $66 million with a corresponding decrease of $50 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss (net of taxes of $16 million) as of December 31, 2018. The $66 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction to net periodic postretirement benefit cost over participants' average remaining service periods or remaining life expectancy.

Long-term Rate of Return
The Company's expected return on assets is established annually through analysis of anticipated future long-term investment performance for the plan based upon the asset allocation strategy and is primarily a long-term prospective rate. An analysis was performed in December 2020 resulting in changes to the expected long-term rate of return on assets. The weighted-average long-term rate of return on assets for the U.S. pension plans decreased from 6.3% at December 31, 2019 to 6.2% at December 31, 2020. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used in determining pension expense for non-U.S. plans is determined in a similar manner to the U.S. plans and decreased from 3.5% at December 31, 2019 to 2.9% at December 31, 2020.
Plan Assets
Certain pension plans sponsored by the Company 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.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
U.S. Plans: The U.S. investment strategy mitigates risk by incorporating diversification across appropriate asset classes to meet the plans' objectives. It is intended to reduce risk, provide long-term financial stability for the plan, and maintain funded levels that meet long-term plan obligations while preserving sufficient liquidity for near-term benefit payments. Risk assumed is considered appropriate for the return anticipated and consistent with the diversification of plan assets. Approximately 53% of the U.S. plan assets were invested in actively managed investment funds. The Company’s investment strategy includes a target asset allocation of 65% equity investments, 25% fixed income investments, 5% debt securities, and 5% in other investment types including hedge funds.
Non-U.S. Plans: The Company's non-U.S. plans are individually managed to different target levels depending on the investing environment in each country and the funded status of each plan, with a reduction in the allocation of assets to equity and fixed income securities at higher funded ratios. The insurance contracts guarantee a minimum rate of return. The Company has no input into the investment strategy of the assets underlying the contracts, but they are typically heavily invested in active bond markets and are highly regulated by local law.
Pension plan assets were invested in the following classes of securities:

The assets of some of the Company's pension plans are invested in trusts that permit commingling of the assets of more than one employee benefit plan for investment and administrative purposes. Each of the plans participating in the trust has interests in the net assets of the underlying investment pools.

The Company's level 1 assets were valued using market prices based on daily NAV or prices available daily through a public stock exchange. Its level 2 assets were valued primarily using market prices, sometimes net of estimated realization expenses, and based on broker/dealer markets or in commingled funds where NAV is not available daily or publicly. For insurance contracts, the estimated surrender value of the policy was used to estimate fair market value.
The activity attributable to U.S. and non-U.S. Level 3 defined benefit pension plan investments was not significant in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The Company reported income tax expense of $459 million, $19 million, and $63 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. The tax expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2020 included a $507 million tax expense relating to the full valuation allowance established for the U.S. deferred tax assets. The remaining $98 million of tax expense for changes in valuation allowances for deferred taxes relates to non-U.S. jurisdictions for which a reserve had been established in a previous year. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that the fair values of certain of its indefinite-lived intangible assets had declined to below their carrying values as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic and completed a goodwill impairment analysis. As a result, the Company recorded $65 million of tax effect relating to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment. The tax expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019 included tax benefits of $33 million relating to a valuation allowance release for an entity in Spain, $22 million of tax expense relating to a goodwill impairment and $21 million of tax expense relating to gains on transfers of subsidiaries for entities in China and Luxembourg. The tax expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2018 included tax benefits of $10 million primarily relating to a valuation allowance release for entities in Australia and $11 million of tax expense for changes in the toll tax.
The components of the Company's net deferred tax assets were as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The Company evaluates its deferred income taxes quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and amount of recent losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. Due to the sudden and sharp decline in industry demand, and the temporary suspension of production at the Company's U.S. manufacturing facilities as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, it incurred a significant U.S. pre-tax loss. Based on the third quarter analysis, the results did not provide enough positive evidence of profitability of the U.S. operations, therefore, the realizability of the U.S. deferred tax assets was assessed. While the disruption to the Company's business is expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the extent and duration of that disruption. Combined with restructuring, impairment and integration expenses incurred in the most recent three-years, the Company has a cumulative loss for the three-year period ended December 31, 2020. The Company concluded that it is more likely than not that it will not be able to utilize the U.S. deferred tax assets. Therefore, the Company established a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets in the U.S. during 2020. Under the current tax laws, the valuation allowance will not limit the Company’s ability to utilize U.S. deferred tax assets provided it can generate sufficient future taxable income in the U.S. The Company anticipates it will continue to record a valuation allowance against the losses until such time as they are able to determine it is “more-likely-than-not” the deferred tax asset will be realized. This position is dependent on whether there will be sufficient future taxable income to realize such deferred tax assets.
The Company believes that if operational declines continue in certain entities located in China and Mexico, there may be sufficient negative evidence for $19 million of valuation allowance to be recorded in the next twelve months.
As a result of the valuation allowances recorded for $1,428 million and $762 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has potential tax assets that were not recognized on its consolidated balance sheets. These unrecognized tax assets resulted primarily from foreign tax loss carryforwards, foreign investment tax credits, foreign research and development credits, U.S. federal tax credit carryforwards and U.S. state net operating losses (“NOLs”) that are available to reduce future tax liabilities.
The Company's state NOLs expire in various tax years through 2041 or have unlimited carryforward potential. The Company's non-U.S. NOLs expire in various tax years through 2040 or have unlimited carryforward potential.
The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, except for the earnings of three of its China operations, two of its Korea operations, two of its India operations, and one of its Spain operations as its present intention is to reinvest the unremitted earnings in the Company's foreign operations. Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries were approximately $2.3 billion at December 31, 2020 and the Company estimated the amount of U.S. and foreign income taxes that would be accrued or paid upon remittance of the assets that represent those unremitted earnings was $101 million.
A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is “more likely than not” that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits.
A reconciliation of the Company's uncertain tax positions is as follows:

The Company's uncertain tax position at December 31, 2020 and 2019 included exposures relating to the disallowance of deductions, global transfer pricing, and various other issues. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $93 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to the expiration of U.S. and foreign statute of limitations and the conclusion of income tax examinations may occur within the next twelve months. Due to the valuation allowance position in the U.S., the Company estimates that only $39 million of the amounts above will affect the consolidated statements of income (loss).
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2020, the Company's tax years open to examination in primary jurisdictions are as follows:

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Capital Commitments
The Company estimates expenditures aggregating to approximately $37 million will be required after December 31, 2020 to complete facilities and projects authorized at such date, and it has made substantial commitments in connection with these facilities and projects.
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company has been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, other national environmental agencies, and various provincial and state agencies it may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under such laws for the cost of remediating hazardous substances pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and other national and state or provincial environmental laws. PRP designation typically requires the funding of site investigations and subsequent remedial activities. Many of the sites that are likely to be the costliest to remediate are often current or former commercial waste disposal facilities to which numerous companies sent wastes. Despite the potential joint and several liability which might be imposed on the Company under CERCLA, and some of the other laws pertaining to these sites, its share of the total waste sent to these sites generally has been small. The Company believes its exposure for liability at these sites is not material.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
On a global basis, the Company has also identified certain other present and former properties at which it may be responsible for cleaning up or addressing environmental contamination, in some cases, as a result of contractual commitments and/or federal or state environmental laws. The Company is actively seeking to resolve these actual and potential statutory, regulatory, and contractual obligations.
The Company expenses or capitalizes, as appropriate, expenditures for ongoing compliance with environmental regulations. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has an obligation to remediate or contribute towards the remediation of certain sites, including the sites discussed above at which it may be a PRP.
The Company's estimated share of environmental remediation costs for all these sites is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets on a discounted basis and the amounts at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

For those locations where the liability was discounted, the weighted average discount rate used was 0.73% and 1.30% at December 31, 2020 and 2019.
The Company's expected payments of environmental remediation costs for non-indemnified locations are estimated to be approximately:

In addition to amounts described above, the Company estimates it will make expenditures for property, plant and equipment for environmental matters of approximately $18 million in 2021 and $7 million in 2022.
Based on information known to the Company from site investigations and the professional judgment of consultants, the Company has established reserves it believes are adequate for these costs. Although the Company believes these estimates of remediation costs are reasonable and are based on the latest available information, the costs are estimates, difficult to quantify based on the complexity of the issues, and are subject to revision as more information becomes available about the extent of remediation required. At some sites, the Company expects other parties will contribute to the remediation costs. In addition, certain environmental statutes provide the Company's liability could be joint and several, meaning the Company could be required to pay amounts in excess of its share of remediation costs. The financial strength of the other PRPs at these sites has been considered, where appropriate, in the determination of the estimated liability. The Company does not believe any potential costs associated with its current status as a PRP, or as a liable party at the other locations referenced herein, will be material to its annual consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Antitrust Investigations and Litigation
The Company has been subject to antitrust investigation and litigation since 2014. With the administrative closure of the European Commission’s antitrust inquiry on April 27, 2017, settlements on civil putative claims in the United States and Canada, and the granting of unconditional leniency from the Department of Justice in October 2020, the Company does not expect to incur any additional material costs for investigations by competition agencies or civil lawsuits related to possible violations of antitrust laws relating to products supplied by the Company and its subsidiaries, including Federal-Mogul.
The Company established a reserve of $132 million in its second quarter 2017 financial results for settlement costs that were probable, reasonably estimable, and expected to be necessary to resolve its antitrust matters globally, which primarily involves the resolution of civil suits and related claims. Of the $132 million reserve that was established, $112 million and $79 million was paid through December 31, 2020 and 2019. In connection with the resolution of certain claims, $11 million and $9 million was released from the reserve as a change in estimate during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Less than $1 million remains at December 31, 2020 and was recorded in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. There are no further material updates on these matters.

Other Legal Proceedings, Claims and Investigations
For many years the Company has been and continues to be subject to lawsuits initiated by claimants alleging health problems as a result of exposure to asbestos. The Company's current docket of active and inactive cases is less than 500 cases in the U.S. and less than 50 in Europe.
With respect to the claims filed in the U.S., the substantial majority of the claims are related to alleged exposure to asbestos in the Company's line of Walker® exhaust automotive products although a significant number of those claims appear also to involve occupational exposures sustained in industries other than automotive. A small number of claims have been asserted against one of the Company's subsidiaries by railroad workers alleging exposure to asbestos products in railroad cars. The Company believes, based on scientific and other evidence, it is unlikely that U.S. claimants were exposed to asbestos by the Company's former products and that, in any event, they would not be at increased risk of asbestos-related disease based on their work with these products. Further, many of these cases involve numerous defendants. Additionally, in many cases the plaintiffs either do not specify any, or specify the jurisdictional minimum, dollar amount for damages.
With respect to the claims filed in Europe, the substantial majority relate to occupational exposure claims brought by current and former employees of Federal-Mogul facilities in France and amounts paid out were not material. A small number of occupational exposure claims have also been asserted against Federal-Mogul entities in Italy and Spain.
As major asbestos manufacturers and/or users continue to go out of business or file for bankruptcy, the Company may experience an increased number of these claims. The Company vigorously defends itself against these claims as part of its ordinary course of business. In future periods, the Company could be subject to cash costs or charges to earnings if any of these matters are resolved unfavorably to the Company. To date, with respect to claims that have proceeded sufficiently through the judicial process, the Company has regularly achieved favorable resolutions. Accordingly, the Company presently believes that these asbestos-related claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's annual consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company is also from time to time involved in other legal proceedings, claims or investigations. Some of these matters involve allegations of damages against the Company relating to environmental liabilities (including toxic tort, property damage and remediation), intellectual property matters (including patent, trademark and copyright infringement, and licensing disputes), personal injury claims (including injuries due to product failure, design or warning issues, and other product liability related matters), taxes, unclaimed property, employment matters, and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. Additionally, some of these matters involve allegations relating to legal compliance.
While the Company vigorously defends itself against all of these legal proceedings, claims, and investigations and takes other actions to minimize its potential exposure, in future periods, the Company could be subject to cash costs or charges to earnings if any of these matters are resolved on unfavorable terms. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on current information, including the Company's assessment of the merits of the particular claim, the Company does not expect these legal proceedings, claims or investigations currently pending against it will have any material adverse effect on its annual consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company’s primary Asset Retirement Obligation (“ARO”) activities relate to the removal of hazardous building materials at its facilities. The Company records an ARO at fair value upon initial recognition when the amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated. ARO fair values are determined based on the Company’s determination of what a third party would charge to perform the remediation activities, generally using a present value technique.
The Company maintains ARO liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

Warranty Matters
The Company provides warranties on some of its products. The warranty terms vary but range from one year up to limited lifetime warranties on some of its premium aftermarket products. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold or when specific warranty issues are identified with the Company's products. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims. The Company believes the warranty reserve is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve. The reserve is included in both current and long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
The following represents the changes in the Company's warranty accrual accounts for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018:

16. Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update supersedes the lease requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flow arising from a lease. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method without the recasting of comparative periods’ financial information, as permitted by the transition guidance.
The Company has operating and finance leases for real estate and equipment. Generally, the leases have remaining terms of one month to ten years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, which do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In addition, some leases include options to terminate the lease. The Company generally negotiates these termination clauses in anticipation of any changes in market conditions; however, because a termination option requires approval from management, the Company assumes the majority of its termination options will not be exercised when determining the lease term.
The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead account for each separate lease and non-lease component associated with that lease component as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. Accordingly, all costs associated with a lease contract are accounted for as lease cost. Lease expense is recorded in operating expenses in the results of operations.
Some leasing arrangements require variable payments that are dependent on usage, output, or may vary for other reasons, such as insurance and tax payments. The variable portion of lease payments is not included in the computation of the right of use assets or lease liabilities. Rather, variable payments, other than those dependent upon a market index or rate, are expensed when the obligation for those payments is incurred and are included in “Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)” and “Selling, general, and administrative” within the consolidated statements of income (loss).
The Company does not include significant restrictions or covenants in its lease agreements, and residual value guarantees are generally not included within its operating leases.

17. Share-Based Compensation
The Company's current long-term incentive compensation plan, which was originally adopted in 2006 and amended in 2009, 2013, 2018 and 2020, is known as the Tenneco Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 LTIP”). The types of awards that may be granted under the 2006 LTIP are stock-options (both incentive and non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), Full Value Awards (including bonus stock, stock units, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), deferred stock units, performance stock, and performance stock units (“PSUs”)), and cash incentive awards (including long-term performance units (“LTPUs”)).
On September 12, 2018, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2006 LTIP to increase the shares of common stock available thereunder to 3.0 million. On May 12, 2020, the stockholders approved another amendment to the 2006 LTIP to increase the shares of common stock available thereunder to 7.15 million. Under the plan each share underlying a full value award subsequently issued counts as 1.49 shares against total plan availability and share-settled awards are settled through the issuance of new shares of Class A Common Stock. As of December 31, 2020, up to 3,131,649 shares of our common stock remain authorized for delivery under the 2006 LTIP.
In 2018, the Company prospectively changed its vesting policy regarding retirement eligibility and now require a retirement eligible employee (or an employee who becomes retirement eligible) to provide at least one year of service from the grant date in order for the award to vest. If an employee becomes retirement eligible after the first year of vesting but before completion of the three-year term, the Company amortizes the expense for the share-based awards over a period starting at the grant date to the date an employee becomes retirement eligible. Prior to 2018, for employees eligible to retire at grant date, the Company immediately expensed the granted awards.
Director restricted stock awards generally vest on the date of grant. Stock options, RSUs (both cash-settled and share-settled) and restricted stock are time-based service awards and generally vest according to a three-year graded vesting schedule. One-third of the award will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, one-third of the award will vest on the second anniversary, and one-third of the award will vest on the third anniversary.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
LTPU and PSU awards generally have a three-year performance period and cliff vest at the end of the period based upon achievement of performance targets. For the 2018 and 2019 PSUs, 50% of the award is based on a performance target and 50% is based on a market target. The market target for 2018 and 2019 PSUs is total shareholder return (TSR) percentile ranking among peer companies, with TSR defined as change in stock price plus dividends paid divided by beginning stock price. Additionally, the 2019 PSUs have a performance target of Cumulative free cash flow, and the 2018 PSUs have a performance target of Cumulative economic value added, which are defined in each award. In the first quarter of 2020, cash-settled LTPUs, with the value of each award based on cash targets, were granted. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the LTPUs were amended whereby the LTPUs were converted to PSUs and are now share-based, cash-settled awards. The performance targets for the related modification were approved on February 3, 2021, with the grant date of the modified LTPUs (now PSUs) being the same date.
RSUs (cash-settled and share-settled) will participate in any dividends during the vesting period, which are subject to the same vesting terms of the award. The dividends are generally paid in cash on the settlement date of the award.
The fair values of restricted stock and RSUs (cash-settled and share-settled) are determined using the average of the high and low trading price of the Company's common stock on the date of measurement. The fair value of PSUs is determined using the probability weighted factors for performance conditions combined with Monte Carlo simulation model for market conditions. The Monte Carlo model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award and calculated the fair value of the award. The starting stock price is based on the trailing 20-day closing stock price as of the beginning of the performance period and the closing stock price on the valuation date, as well as the respective stock prices for component companies. The risk-free rate is based on yields observed on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity notes with a term equal to the remaining term of the award being measured. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on historical volatility of the Company and the companies in the S&P 500 index using daily stock price returns prior to the valuation date, commensurate with the remaining performance period at the measurement date. The cross correlation among stock price returns of the Company and each of the component companies in the S&P 500 with the S&P 500 Index are calculated based on daily returns over the trailing period commensurate with the remainder of the performance period at the valuation date.
Cash-Settled Awards
The Company has granted RSUs to certain key employees that are payable in cash. These awards are classified as liabilities and are valued based on the fair value of the award at the grant date and are remeasured at each reporting date until settlement with compensation expense being recognized in proportion to the completed requisite period up until date of settlement.
Total share-based compensation expense (net of taxes) for the cash-settled awards was an expense of $2 million, an expense of $3 million, and a benefit of $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. Share-based compensation expense is included in “Selling, general, and administrative” expenses in the consolidated statements of income (loss). As of December 31, 2020, $17 million in unrecognized costs on the cash-settled awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately three years.
Share-Settled Awards
The Company has granted restricted stock and stock options to its directors and certain key employees. In addition, beginning in 2018, the Company has granted RSUs and PSUs that are payable in common stock to certain key employees. These awards are settled in shares upon vesting with compensation expense being recognized based on the grant date fair value recognized ratably over the requisite service period if it is probable the performance target related to the PSUs will be achieved and subsequently adjusted if the probability assessment changes.
Total share-based compensation expense (net of taxes) for the share-settled awards was $13 million, $19 million, and $11 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. Share-based compensation expense is included in “Selling, general, and administrative” expenses in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Stock Options
The Company's nonqualified stock options generally have seven-year terms. There have been no stock options granted since 2014 and all options are currently vested. There was no unrecognized compensation cost related to the Company's stock option awards as of December 31, 2020.

(a) Represents an aggregate of 29,444,846 shares of Common Stock delivered to AEP in 2018 as the Stock Consideration related to Federal-Mogul Acquisition. Refer to Note 3, “Acquisitions and Divestitures” for additional information.
The rights of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are the same, except with respect to voting and conversion. Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Class B Common Stock are not entitled to vote unless a proposed action would diminish their rights, powers or privileges, in which case such action must be unanimously approved by the holders of the Class B Common Stock. Holders of Class A Common Stock have no right to convert their shares into other securities. Each share of Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into a share of Class A Common Stock upon transfer, with limited exceptions. In addition, because the proposed spin-off of the Company’s aftermarket and ride performance business (the “Spin-Off”) did not occur by April 1, 2020, each holder of Class B Common Stock may convert its shares into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, provided that the initial Class B holders would not own, in the aggregate, more than 15 percent of the Class A Common Stock following such conversion.
Class B Common Stock Conversion
Effective April 1, 2020, IEP and its affiliates exercised their right to convert 3,485,215 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock into 3,485,215 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.
Subsequent to year-end, IEP and its affiliates converted an additional 5,055,091 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock into 5,055,091 shares of Class A Common Stock. As of February 16, 2021, IEP and its affiliates hold 9,958,628 shares, or approximately 14.99%, of the Company’s outstanding Class A Common Stock and 15,253,363 shares of the Company’s outstanding Class B Common Stock.
Shareholder Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition, on October 1, 2018, the Company, AEP, IEP, and Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. entered into a Shareholders Agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”). IEP’s representative to the Board under the Shareholders Agreement submitted his resignation effective June 10, 2020.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The Shareholders Agreement contains certain standstill and voting obligations applicable to IEP and its affiliates, which expired on April 1, 2020. In addition, IEP and its affiliates are prohibited from acquiring, offering to acquire, or agreeing to acquire, directly or indirectly, any shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities until April 1, 2021.
Until the later of (i) the expiration of the standstill restrictions referenced above and (ii) the time when IEP and its affiliates cease to own at least 10% of the outstanding shares, IEP and its affiliates may not transfer any shares (a) to certain specified types of investors and (b) in an amount equal to 5% or more of the Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding at the time of such transfer (subject to certain exceptions).
For so long as IEP and its affiliates own at least 10% of the outstanding shares, if the Company proposes to issue any equity securities (other than in an excluded issuance), IEP and its affiliates have certain preemptive rights. The Shareholders Agreement also includes registration rights for IEP.
Share Repurchase Program
We presently have no share repurchase program in place.
During 2015, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, authorizing it to repurchase up to $550 million of its then outstanding Class A Common Stock over a three-year period (“2015 Program”). In February 2017, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $400 million of its then outstanding Class A Common Stock over the next three years (“2017 Program”). The 2017 Program included $112 million that remained authorized under the 2015 Program. The Company generally acquires the shares through open market or privately negotiated transactions, and has historically utilized cash from operations. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase shares within any specific time or situations. The remaining $231 million authorized for share repurchases under the 2017 Program expired at December 31, 2019. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no shares were repurchased under the 2017 Program.
Preferred Stock
The Company had 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock ($0.01 par value) authorized at both December 31, 2020 and 2019. No shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding at those dates.
Shareholder Rights Plan
On April 15, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a Section 382 Rights Plan, which will expire on the earliest to occur of (i) the close of business on the day following the certification of the voting results of the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, if at such stockholder meeting or any other meeting of stockholders of the Company duly held prior to such meeting, a proposal to ratify the Section 382 Rights Plan has not been passed by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders; (ii) the date on which the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion that (x) the Section 382 Rights Plan is no longer necessary for the preservation of material valuable tax attributes or (y) the tax attributes have been fully utilized and may no longer be carried forward; and (iii) the close of business on October 2, 2021.
Pursuant to the Section 382 Rights Plan, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of (i) one preferred share purchase right (a “Class A Right”), payable on April 27, 2020, for each share of Class A Voting Common Stock and (ii) one preferred share purchase right (a “Class B Right” and, together with the Class A Rights, the “Rights”), payable on April 27, 2020, for each share of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, in each case, outstanding on April 27, 2020 to the stockholders of record on that date. Each Right, which is exercisable only in the event that any person or group acquires 4.9% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A Voting Common Stock (with certain limited exceptions), would entitle any holder other than the person or group whose ownership position has exceeded the ownership limit to purchase common stock having a value equal to twice the exercise price of the Right, or, at the election of the Board of Directors, to exchange each Right for one share of Class A Common Stock per Class A Right or one share of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock per Class B Right.

20. Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings (loss) per share, except that the Company adjusts the weighted average number of shares outstanding to include estimates of additional shares that would be issued if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. In addition, the Company adjusts income (loss) available to common shareholders to include any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed issuance of the dilutive common shares.
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock outstanding were computed as follows:

21. Segment and Geographic Area Information
Tenneco consists of four operating segments, Clean Air, Powertrain, Ride Performance, and Motorparts:
•The Clean Air segment designs, manufactures, and distributes a variety of products and systems designed to reduce pollution and optimize engine performance, acoustic tuning, and weight on a vehicle for light vehicle, commercial truck, and off-highway OE customers;
•The Powertrain segment designs, manufactures, and distributes a variety of original equipment powertrain products for light vehicle, commercial truck, off-highway, and industrial applications to OE customers for use in new vehicle production and original equipment service (“OES”) parts to support their service and distribution channels;
•The Ride Performance segment designs, manufactures, markets, and distributes a variety of ride performance solutions and systems to a global OE customer base, including noise, vibration, and harshness performance materials, advanced suspension technologies, ride control, and braking; and
•The Motorparts segment designs, manufactures, sources, markets and distributes a broad portfolio of leading brand-name products in the global vehicle aftermarket while also servicing the OES market. Motorparts products are organized into categories, including shocks and struts, steering and suspension, braking, sealing, emissions control, engine, and maintenance.
Costs related to other business activities, primarily corporate headquarter functions, are disclosed separately from the four operating segments as “Corporate.”
Management uses EBITDA including noncontrolling interests as the key performance measure of segment profitability and uses the measure in its financial and operational decision-making processes, for internal reporting, and for planning and forecasting purposes to effectively allocate resources. EBITDA including noncontrolling interests is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, noncontrolling interests, and depreciation and amortization. Segment assets are not presented as it is not a measure reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in allocating resources and assessing performance.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
EBITDA including noncontrolling interests 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, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to EBITDA including noncontrolling interests that is in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA including noncontrolling interests, as determined and measured by the Company, should not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Segment results for the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 are as follows:

Disaggregation of revenue
Original Equipment
Value Added Sales
OE revenue is generated from providing original equipment manufacturers and servicers with products for automotive, heavy duty, and industrial applications. Supply relationships typically extend over the life of the related vehicle, subject to interim design and technical specification revisions, and do not require the customer to purchase a minimum quantity.
Substrate/Passthrough Sales
Generally, in connection with the sale of exhaust systems to certain OE manufacturers, the Company purchases catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters or components thereof including precious metals (“substrates”) on behalf of its customers which are used in the assembled system. These substrates are included in inventory and are “passed through” to the customer at cost, plus a small margin. Since the Company takes title to the substrate inventory and has responsibility for both the delivery and quality of the finished product including the substrates, the revenues and related expenses are recorded at gross amounts.
Aftermarket
Aftermarket revenue is generated from providing products for the global vehicle aftermarket to a wide range of warehouse distributors, retail parts stores, and mass merchants that distribute these products to customers ranging from professional service providers to “do-it-yourself” consumers.
TENNECO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by customer type and geography, as it depicts the nature and amount of the Company’s revenue that is aligned with the Company's key growth strategies. Certain amounts in the prior period for the Ride Performance segment have been reclassified from OE - Value add to Aftermarket to conform with the current year presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
22. Related Party Transactions
The parties presented in the tables below, other than Montagewerk Abgastechnik Emden GmbH, became related parties of the Company as a result of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition discussed in Note 3, “Acquisitions and Divestitures”, with net sales, purchases, and royalty and other income presented being reflective of activity post acquisition date. Amounts presented as Icahn Automotive Group LLC represent the Company's activity with Auto Plus and Pep Boys. Refer to Note 8, “Investment in Nonconsolidated Affiliates”, for further information on companies within the tables below that represent equity method investments.
As part of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition, the Company acquired a redeemable noncontrolling interest related to a subsidiary in India. In accordance with local regulations, the Company initiated a process to make a tender offer of the shares it did not own due to the change in control triggered by the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. The Company entered into separate agreements with IEP, subsequent to the purchase agreement, whereby IEP agreed to fund and execute the tender offer for the shares on behalf of the Company. As a result of finalizing the redemption value, the Company recorded a $53 million loss to income available to common shareholders concurrently with marking the related redeemable noncontrolling interest to its redemption value in the year ended December 31, 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, the tender offer for the shares was completed. Since the transaction was funded and executed by IEP, the completion of the tender offer resulted in an adjustment to additional paid-in capital during the first quarter of 2020. Immediately following the completion of the tender offer, the shares of this noncontrolling interest not owned by the Company were no longer redeemable, or probable of becoming redeemable; therefore, the noncontrolling interest was reclassified from temporary equity to permanent equity during the first quarter of 2020. Refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” or further information on this redeemable noncontrolling interest.
The following table is a summary of net sales, purchases, and royalty and other income (expense), net to the Company's related parties for the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018:
