Visteon Corporation has posted a net loss of $US109m, or $0.84 per share, on sales of $2.55bn for the third quarter of 2007. This is an improvement of $68m over Q3 2006.


“Our third quarter results show the fundamental improvement we have achieved across our business,” said chairman and chief executive officer Michael Johnston.

For the first nine months of 2007, sales from continuing operations were $8.41bn. Product sales to Ford declined 14%, or $525m, to $3.15bn, reflecting lower North American production volumes, divestitures, sourcing actions and product mix. Sales to other customers increased 11%, or $494m, to $4.85bn and represented 61% of total product sales.
