Quoting Management: “Performance in the third quarter was consistent with the updated outlook we provided in September,” said Robert B. Toth, President and Chief Executive Officer. “While 2012 continues to be a challenging year, particularly due to the sales rates of certain high-content electric drive vehicles and an ongoing weak economic environment, long-term growth trends remain positive. Given our recent investments, we are well positioned to capitalize on that growth as it occurs and-with the majority of our cash spend for these investments now behind us-we are transitioning into a period of substantial cash generation going forward in 2013.”
