All statements in this document other than statements of historical fact are statements that are, or could be, deemed “forward- looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this document, statements regarding Adient’s future financial position, sales, costs, earnings, cash flows, other measures of results of operations, capital expenditures or debt levels and plans, objectives, outlook, targets, guidance or goals are forward-looking statements. Words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “forecast,” “project” or “plan” or terms of similar meaning are also generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Adient cautions that these statements are subject to numerous important risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond Adient’s control, that could cause Adient’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, among others, risks related to: the ability of Adient to meet debt service requirements, the availability and terms of financing, general economic and business conditions, the strength of the U.S. or other economies, automotive vehicle production levels, mix and schedules, energy and commodity prices, the availability of raw materials and component products, currency exchange rates, the ability of Adient to effectively integrate the Futuris business, and cancellation of or changes to commercial arrangements. A detailed discussion of risks related to Adient’s business is included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Adient’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 filed with the SEC on November 29, 2016 and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, available at www.sec.gov.

The forward-looking statements included in this document are made only as of the date of this document, unless otherwise specified, and, except as required by law, Adient assumes no obligation, and disclaims any obligation, to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this document. In addition, this document includes certain projections provided by Adient with respect to the anticipated future performance of Adient’s businesses. Such projections reflect various assumptions of Adient’s management concerning the future performance of Adient’s businesses, which may or may not prove to be correct. The actual results may vary from the anticipated results and such variations may be material. Adient does not undertake any obligation to update the projections to reflect events or circumstances or changes in expectations after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of subsequent events. No representations or warranties are made as to the accuracy or reasonableness of such assumptions or the projections based thereon. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information: This document also contains non-GAAP financial information because Adient’s management believes it may assist investors in evaluating Adient’s on-going operations. Adient believes these non-GAAP disclosures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Adient’s financial condition and results of operations. Investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures as alternatives to the related GAAP measures.

Appendix Page 4 Footnotes 1. Segment Results Adient evaluates the performance of its reportable segments using an adjusted EBIT metric defined as income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests, excluding net financing charges, qualified restructuring and impairment costs, restructuring related-costs, incremental “Becoming Adient” costs, separation costs, net mark-to-market adjustments on pension and postretirement plans, transaction gains/losses, purchase accounting amortization and other non-recurring items (“Adjusted EBIT”). Prior period information has been recast to the new performance metric. The reportable segments are consistent with how management views the markets served by Adient and reflect the financial information that is reviewed by its chief operating decision maker. Adient has two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Seating and Interiors. • The Seating segment produces automotive seat metal structures and mechanisms, foam, trim, fabric and complete seat systems. • The Interiors segment, derived from its global automotive interiors joint ventures, produces instrument panels, floor consoles, door panels, overhead consoles, cockpit systems, decorative trim and other products. Financial information relating to Adient's reportable segments is as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Twelve Months Ended September 30, (in millions) 2017 2016 2017 2016 Net Sales Seating $ 3,979 $ 3,932 $ 16,213 $ 16,790 Total net sales $ 3,979 $ 3,932 $ 16,213 $ 16,790 Three Months Ended September 30, Twelve Months Ended September 30, (in millions) 2017 2016 2017 2016 Adjusted EBIT Seating $ 274 $ 269 $ 1,151 $ 1,091 Interiors 22 24 93 91 Becoming Adient costs (1) (37) — (95) — Separation costs (2) — (115) (10) (369) Restructuring and impairment costs (3) (40) (88) (46) (332) Purchase accounting amortization (4) (14) (9) (43) (37) Restructuring related charges (5) (9) (4) (37) (14) Pension mark-to-market (6) 45 (110) 45 (110) Gain on previously held interest (7) 151 — 151 — Other items (8) (3) 1 (16) 79 Earnings before interest and income taxes 389 (32) 1,193 399 Net financing charges (33) (14) (132) (22) Income before income taxes $ 356 $ (46) $ 1,061 $ 377

Investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures as alternatives to the related GAAP measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their closest U.S. GAAP equivalent are presented below. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures related to FY 2018 guidance have not been provided due to the unreasonable efforts it would take to provide such reconciliations. • Adjusted EBIT is defined as income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests excluding net financing charges, restructuring, impairment and related costs, purchase accounting amortization, transaction gains/losses, expenses associated with becoming an independent company, other significant non-recurring items, and net mark-to-market adjustments on pension and postretirement plans.
