Warner Legal Corner LEGAL TOPICS FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY Volume Nine, December 2021
The Supply Chain Is In Distress – What Can You Do About It Right Now? The supply chain is in serious distress like never before. Everyone outside the industry is now familiar with supply chain problems. But we in the automotive industry have known that the global “Just-in-Time” supply chain has always lived on the razor’s edge. Nowadays, we are dealing with a confluence of global events – raw material shortages, shipping bottlenecks and related cost increases, labor shortages, forecast and release fluctuations and serious inflation, to name a few. So, what can you do right now? Carefully Analyze Your Contracts. Take a deep dive review of your key customer and supplier contracts to determine what legal options are available and explore them with legal counsel. Don’t assume you have none. Be Persistent and Transparent. Once armed with the right legal arguments, aggressively pursue relief with your customers or respond to demands from your suppliers. Be transparent. If you’re losing money on a part, you should show it. Then, persistently press your positions and elevate them promptly within the other side’s organization, professionally yet aggressively. Assess New Business Contracting Strategies. Many suppliers are dealing with one-sided customer contracts. The bad contract language should have been addressed, if possible, when it was executed. It can be very difficult to get a customer to modify certain terms; but it may be possible to guard against certain risks at the outset (e.g., develop detailed quotations, side-letter agreements or other contemporaneous writings). Address your biggest concerns, like volume or cost fluctuations, up front. Understand and plan for these risks and ensure your supply base has equal skin in the game. With thoughtful and aggressive strategies, suppliers can survive and even thrive in this difficult environment.

On Your
Behalf
My team and I recently reflected on the many changes our industry has been through over the past 24 months. We endured a pandemic that idled automotive production in North America and shifted production to support PPE needs. We learned to work differently – both remotely and virtually. This period also brought on many supply chain issues, including a debilitating semiconductor shortage and labor and other material shortages. Many of these issues remain. During these uncertain times, OESA worked to keep the supplier community abreast of the impact of industry disruptions and to help suppliers navigate these difficult times. It is from this reflection that I take this opportunity to highlight the many benefits of an OESA membership. Advocacy The impact Washington, D.C. has had on our industry has never been greater. Members rely on our MEMA team advocacy to keep them informed and provide an avenue for their voice to be heard. MEMA has significant influence and is your Washington, D.C. office. OEM Town Hall Meetings OESA’s OEM town hall meetings provide exclusive opportunities for members to hear from and meet directly with the automotive vehicle manufacturers’ purchasing and engineering leaders. The industry connections at these events can make the value of membership priceless. OESA Topic-Focused Events This past year, OESA hosted more than 50 industry events. Topics included Understanding the Semiconductor Shortage, Legal Trends, Vendor Tooling, OEM Terms & Conditions and our annual Automotive Supplier Conference. OESA events continue to provide suppliers with actionable insights to better understand and address the challenges we face as an industry. OESA Peer Group Councils OESA offers 16 peer group councils that serve the various leadership areas of the member organizations. Council members meet quarterly and have unique opportunities to address common issues and share best practices. Thought Leadership and Market Research OESA regularly publishes market updates and thought leadership on the evolving automotive landscape. We publish a quarterly economic update, a quarterly Supplier Barometer Index™ survey, an annual DEI survey, as well as Industry Insight podcasts.

GLOBAL PRODUCTION OUTLOOK
Traversing Through Trials Mike Jackson Executive Director, Strategy and Research 248.430.5954 │ mjackson@oesa.org
Despite strong regional and global light vehicle demand, sweeping supply chain disruptions of all kinds continue to plague the industry, dragging automotive production levels lower for longer. The latest global production outlook from IHS Markit for October reflects a more pronounced near-term impact in 2021 and 2022 due to the severity of problems and the realization that resolution to current supply chain constraints will be further delayed. Output in 2021 no longer reflects any meaningful volume recovery, with global vehicle production stuck below 75 million units for a second consecutive year, before approaching 83 million units in 2022. Of course semiconductor supply constraints account for a disproportionate impact, yet this is one of many distortions in global supply chains that has triggered sharply higher prices across a basket of automotive inputs. Moreover, severe labor shortages and mounting logistics bottlenecks have further added to intense volatility and extreme pricing pressure. To this end, research from Wells Fargo lead automotive analyst, Colin Langan, points to a 40% increase from a year ago, for the weighted EV Battery Raw Material Index price per cell. Though this research reflects pricing moderation going forward, this represents a substantial cost headwind that underscores the need for regional raw material supplies. Though headlines continue to trumpet additional investments in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and their corresponding battery plants, these vehicle program opportunities face mounting near-term pressures. Sharply higher input costs and intense competition mean automakers and suppliers need to increase their outlays while vehicle pricing power within the marketplace will come under intense pressure. Industry stakeholders need to be engaged within the BEV sector, yet success is far from guaranteed. A flood of investment in new vehicle entrants and industry capacity is being allocated to BEVs at a rate which is arguably outpacing near-term demand. Government regulations on emissions and fuel economy, coupled with consumer incentives, have been important catalysts, driving substantial BEV investments. Government investments in energy and infrastructure are also gaining momentum and accelerating activity, creating incentives for stakeholders to reassess and expand the scope of future initiatives. Transformational change in the mobility sector is ushering in a range of new business models. To this end, Wall Street continues to reward suppliers and OEMs that are well positioned to monetize the ongoing shift toward electrification via sharply higher valuations. It is critical for automakers and suppliers to participate within this growth sector, yet to apply careful due diligence and recognize additional challenges. The current challenge of sharply higher costs coupled with intense EV market competition will certainly lead to even longer payback periods than first calculated for some programs. Competition is nothing new, yet strong levels of pre-pandemic demand and output helped mask underperforming programs. The industry will contribute to a surge of all-new BEV nameplates which will surely result in winners and losers. Moreover, recognize that the majority of pending BEV product plans will focus on higher margin SUVs and pickup trucks. Elements of market saturation within the compact and midsize SUV categories as well as the full-size pickup category represent a changing risk dynamic in the market going forward. Recognize the potential for product overlap and subsequent 3 │ OESA News - 2021 Fourth Quarter
cannibalization resulting from similarly-sized SUVs and divergent price points. Despite industry pressures, suppliers need to plan and execute on developing their defined areas of competency to capitalize on a sustained period of historic production and demand levels. Suppliers need to plan proactively to as global output is forecast to approach 100 million units for four consecutive years starting in 2024 before surpassing the mark in 2027.

GUEST COLUMN: WE PREDICT Financial Certainty for Automotive Suppliers By Mark Gordon Vice President of Business Development, We Predict The automotive industry is undergoing massive transformation. Scores of new players are entering the scene. Flashy EV companies suddenly outvalue established players. Government policies and societal pressures are shifting demand. While vehicle electrification dominates industry attention, extracting efficiencies from existing operations is as important as ever. In daily conversations with suppliers, we hear a familiar refrain. Suppliers are concerned with unprecedented increases in responsibility to pay for warranty costs, and – after years of being pressed to do more with less – they lack the resources to defend themselves. They see no end in sight. Traditionally, this is when software can help scale existing processes. But suppliers lack the resources and bandwidth to envision, evaluate and launch new software programs. While suppliers recognize the need for better tools, many haven’t embraced a key method to forestall warranty costs: predictive analytics. Senior managers and executives don’t always understand the benefits, focusing – misguidedly – on acquisition costs rather than cost-avoidance benefits. We often see suppliers pressure warranty teams to negotiate lower cost recoveries rather than invest in updating operations and capabilities that would lessen and prevent warranty costs. Evidence shows this isn’t effective and doesn’t solve the root problem. Suppliers tell us this is an increasingly ineffective approach as automotive manufacturers become more aggressive in their warranty-cost recovery efforts. The trend now and into 2022 is as alarming as most suppliers can remember. There is a solution. The solution is understanding component performance over three to five years. Understanding product issues early can minimize future financial exposure. Using our industrywide database of service records and proprietary, insurer-backed predictive analytics, We Predict helps suppliers understand the failure rates for their products over a long horizon. We also help prioritize the scope and financial impact of each issue, to aid informed decision-making in negotiations with OEMs. Additionally, we help suppliers validate their forecasts and guarantee performance, locking in financial certainty while eliminating downside surprises. We Predict has been delivering these capabilities to our customers for a decade. We produce industryleading predictive analytics on an enormous scale, evaluating hundreds of millions of combinations and permutations at all points in time to alert our manufacturer and supplier clients to upcoming issues. We develop a complete financial picture to help our clients understand their exposures on an extended horizon. And most importantly, industry partners, including the world’s largest reinsurer, Munich Re, back our predictions, providing suppliers full financial certainty. The need is clear. The solutions are validated. The value is overwhelming. Now is the time to engage with We Predict. Some guess. We know. We Predict wepredict.com 11 │ OESA News - 2021 Fourth Quarter
