Aptiv PLC (NYSE:APTV) on Monday announced steps to brace itself up for the coronavirus-led economic uncertainty and the impact of the pandemic on the global automotive industry.
The company is drawing down all remaining amounts, roughly $1.4 billion, on its Revolving Credit Facility to improve its financial flexibility and liquidity. With these additional funds, Aptiv will have around $1.7 billion of cash on hand and $2.0 billion outstanding under the existing revolver facility.
Moreover, the company secured capital by suspending annual dividend of around $225 million. As its customer plants are closed down and vehicle production schedules changed, Aptiv has ramped down several production facilities as a cost control and working capital management measure.
