TRW Automotive Reports First Quarter 2005 Financial Results;
Provides Update on 2005 Outlook
LIVONIA, MICHIGAN, May 5, 2005 — TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (NYSE: TRW),
the global leader in active and passive safety systems, today reported first-quarter 2005
sales of $3.2 billion, an increase of 10% compared to the same period a year ago. Net
earnings were $50 million or $0.50 per diluted share, which compares to $2 million or
$0.02 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. The Company’s first-quarter 2005
included five additional calendar days as compared to the previous year period.
First quarter earnings were above previously provided guidance primarily due to the
timing of restructuring actions with associated pre-tax expenses estimated at $22
million that were expected to be incurred in the quarter. These actions and related
charges are now expected to be incurred in the second quarter of 2005. First-quarter
2004 included expenses of $47 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for charges
associated with debt retirement and refinancing transactions. Excluding these charges,
prior year first quarter earnings were $49 million or $0.50 per diluted share.
“Despite continuing tough industry conditions and developments, our first quarter
results from operations were in line with our expectations, which can be attributed to
our broad diversification and increasing demand for the Company’s strategically
focused portfolio of safety systems and products,” said John C. Plant, president and
chief executive officer.

3. “During the quarter, our cost management and reduction programs allowed us to
mitigate the costs associated with a higher level of commodity inflation and other
industry and customer related issues. For the remainder of the year, we must execute
our operating plans with precision to succeed in this difficult industry environment and
be in a position to deliver our operational and financial commitments.” Mr. Plant added,
“Although we’ve benefited from industry leading diversity, either by product, customer
or geography, further industry related pressures, including substantial production cuts
by vehicle manufacturers, will cause us to reassess the Company’s financial outlook for
the year.”
First Quarter 2005 Compared to the Prior Year Period
The Company reported first-quarter 2005 sales of $3.2 billion, an increase of $302
million or 10% compared to prior year sales of $2.9 billion. The increase resulted
primarily from sales of new products, foreign currency translation and the effect of five
additional calendar days in the current quarter, partially offset by pricing provided to
customers and lower vehicle production volumes in North America. Operating income
for first-quarter 2005 was $155 million, an increase of $2 million compared to the prior
year period of $153 million. The increase resulted primarily from a higher level of sales
together with cost savings, partially offset by pricing provided to customers, the
continued impact of commodity inflation and other business issues related to customer
and supplier solvency. Restructuring expenses in the first quarter of 2005 were $8
million, as compared to $5 million in the prior year quarter.
Net interest and securitization expense for the first quarter of 2005 totaled $59 million,
which included expenses of $3 million related to the refinancing of the Company’s bank
debt facilities completed in January of 2005. In comparison, net interest and
securitization expense in the prior year totaled $63 million. The year-to-year reduction
in expense can be attributed to the Company’s deleveraging activities, which include
debt reduction and other capital structure improvement efforts, offset partially by rising
interest rates.

4. The prior year quarter included $47 million of debt retirement and refinancing expenses
primarily for premiums paid on high-yield notes redeemed with proceeds from the
Company’s initial public offering in February 2004 and other expenses related to a
January 2004 bank debt refinancing.
The Company reported first-quarter 2005 net earnings of $50 million or $0.50 per
diluted share, compared to $2 million or $0.02 per diluted share in the prior year period.
Prior year results, excluding debt retirement and refinancing expenses of $47 million,
were $49 million or $0.50 per diluted share.
Earnings before interest, securitization costs, loss on retirement of debt, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) were $283 million for first-quarter 2005,
which compares to prior year EBITDA of $276 million. Excluding the year-to-year
impact of restructuring expenses, as previously mentioned, EBITDA improved by $10
million or by 4%.
Capital Structure/Liquidity
In the first quarter, net cash used in operating activities totaled $51 million, with the
outflow driven mainly by seasonal factors. Capital expenditures for the quarter were
$83 million compared to $67 million in the prior year quarter. As of April 1, 2005, the
Company had $2,930 million of debt and $451 million of cash and marketable
securities, resulting in net debt (defined as debt less cash and marketable securities) of
$2,479 million. Net debt declined by $370 million compared to the prior year level and
increased $107 million from year-end 2004. The increase from year-end was due
primarily to seasonal factors.
In January 2005, the Company drew on its credit facilities as part of the refinancing
transaction it initiated in December of 2004. Under the initial draw, the Company
utilized proceeds from its new term loan facilities and a portion of its revolving credit
facility to repay applicable outstanding balances under its existing facilities. Prior to
quarter-end, the Company utilized available cash to pay-down amounts outstanding
under its revolving credit facility.

5. On March 11, 2005, the Company repurchased 7.3 million common shares of TRW
stock from Northrop Grumman Corporation for a total of $143 million. Also on March
11, 2005, in a separate transaction, the Company raised $143 million of proceeds from
the private sale of 7.3 million shares of common stock issued to institutional investors.
On March 31, 2005, the Company commenced a process to redeem a portion of its 10-
⅛% Euro-based senior notes due 2013, equivalent to approximately $63 million (USD)
of debt. This transaction closed on May 3, 2005, and was funded with a portion of the
proceeds raised from the previously discussed sale of common stock. As a result of
this transaction, the Company expects to incur pre-tax expenses of approximately $7
million for premiums and associated fees in the second quarter of 2005.
2005 Outlook
For full-year 2005, the Company expects revenue in the range $12.6 to $13.0 billion
and earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.43 to $1.63. This guidance range has
been updated to reflect previously mentioned bond redemption expenses, currency
exchange assumptions and increased restructuring costs. Excluding $7 million of pre-
tax bond redemption expenses, net earnings are expected to be in the range of $1.50
to $1.70 per diluted share.
Earnings guidance now includes restructuring related expenses of approximately $55
million, an increase from the Company’s prior guidance of $35 million. This guidance
also includes $33 million of expenses for amortization of intangibles resulting from the
February 2003 acquisition of the Company by affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P.
and assumes an effective tax rate in the range of 45% to 50%. Lastly, the Company
expects capital expenditures to total approximately 4% of sales for the year.
For the second quarter of 2005, the Company expects revenue of approximately $3.3
billion and earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.21 to $0.33. This guidance
range includes approximately $7 million of pre-tax bond redemption expenses as
discussed previously, which when excluded, results in expected earnings in the range
of $0.28 to $0.40. Additionally, second quarter guidance includes pre-tax restructuring
costs of approximately $45 million.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Earnings to EBITDA
(Unaudited)
The reconciliation schedule below should be read in conjunction with the TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2004, which contains summary historical data.
The EBITDA measure calculated in the following schedule is a measure used by management to evaluate operating
performance. Management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities
analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net earnings (losses) as an
indicator of operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally,
EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider
certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Because not all
companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled
measures of other companies.
