In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) included throughout this
presentation,
the Company has provided information regarding “income before interest, other (income) expense and income taxes,” income before
interest, other (income) expense, income taxes, restructuring costs and other special items, excluding the divested Interior business” (core operating
earnings), “pretax income before restructuring costs and other special items,”  “free cash flow” and “net debt” (each, a non-GAAP financial measure).  
Other (income) expense includes, among other things, state and local non-income taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, fees associated with the
Company’s asset-backed securitization and factoring facilities, minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, equity in net income of affiliates and gains
and losses on the sale of assets. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before the net change in sold accounts receivable,
less capital expenditures.  The Company believes it is appropriate to exclude the net change in sold accounts receivable in the calculation of free cash
flow since the sale of receivables may be viewed as a substitute for borrowing activity.  Net debt represents total debt plus utilization under the Company’s
securitization and factoring facilities, less cash and cash equivalents.

  

Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the
Company’s financial position and results of operations.  In particular, management believes that
income before interest, other (income) expense and
income taxes,
core operating earnings and pretax income before restructuring costs and other special items are useful measures in assessing the
Company’s financial performance by excluding certain items (including those items that are included in other expense) that are not indicative of the
Company's core operating earnings or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Company’s continuing operating activities.  Management also
believes that these measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company's results of operations and provide improved
comparability between fiscal periods.  Management believes that free cash flow is useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the
Company’s ability to service and repay its debt.  Management believes that net debt provides useful information regarding the Company’s financial
condition.  Further, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting in future periods.

                  

Income before interest, other (income) expense and income taxes, core operating earnings, pretax income before restructuring costs and other special
items, free cash flow and net debt should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for pretax income (loss), net income (loss), cash provided by
operating activities, total debt or other balance sheet, income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure
of profitability or liquidity.  In addition, the calculation of free cash flow does not reflect cash used to service debt and therefore, does not reflect funds
available for investment or other discretionary uses.  Also, these non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by the Company, may not
be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Set forth on the following slides are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated
and presented in accordance with GAAP.  Given the inherent uncertainty regarding special items, other (income) expense and the net change in sold
accounts receivable in any future period, a reconciliation of forward-looking financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is not feasible.  The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant.

Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
including statements regarding anticipated financial results and liquidity.  Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results
as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, general economic conditions in the markets in which the
Company operates, including changes in interest rates or currency exchange rates, the financial condition of the Company’s
customers or suppliers, fluctuations in the production of vehicles for which the Company is a supplier, changes in the Company’s
current vehicle production estimates, the loss of business with respect to, or the lack of commercial success of, a vehicle model for
which the Company is a significant supplier, disruptions in the relationships with the Company’s suppliers, labor disputes involving
the Company or its significant customers or suppliers or that otherwise affect the Company, the Company’s ability to achieve cost
reductions that offset or exceed customer-mandated selling price reductions, the outcome of customer productivity negotiations, the
impact and timing of program launch costs, the costs, timing and success of restructuring actions, increases in the Company’s
warranty or product liability costs, risks associated with conducting business in foreign countries, competitive conditions impacting the
Company’s key customers and suppliers, the cost and availability of raw materials and energy, the Company’s ability to mitigate any
increases in raw material, energy and commodity costs, the outcome of legal or regulatory proceedings to which the Company is or
may become a party, unanticipated changes in cash flow, including the Company’s ability to align its vendor payment terms with
those of its customers and other risks described from time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings.  In
particular, the Company’s financial outlook for 2008 is based on several factors, including the Company’s current vehicle production
and raw material pricing assumptions.  The Company’s actual financial results could differ materially as a result of significant
changes in these factors.

This presentation also contains information on the Company’s sales backlog.  The Company’s incremental sales backlog reflects:
anticipated net sales from formally awarded new programs and open replacement programs, less phased-out and cancelled
programs.  The calculation of backlog does not reflect customer price reductions on existing or newly awarded programs.  The
backlog may be impacted by various assumptions embedded in the calculation, including vehicle production levels on new and
replacement programs, foreign exchange rates and the timing of major program launches.  Lear’s 2008 – 2010 sales backlog is
based on an exchange rate of $1.45/per Euro and the following industry production assumptions: in North America, 14.4 million units
in 2008 and 15 million thereafter and in Europe, 20.1 million units in 2008 and 20 million thereafter.

The forward-looking statements in this presentation are made as of the date hereof, and the Company does not assume any
obligation to update, amend or clarify them to reflect events, new information or circumstances occurring after the date hereof.
