TRW Automotive Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2003 Financial Results; Provides 2004 Guidance LIVONIA, MICHIGAN, February 17, 2004 — TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.

(NYSE: TRW) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year

ended December 31, 2003. TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), the

parent company of TRW Automotive Inc., completed its initial public offering (“IPO”)

of approximately 24.1 million shares of common stock on February 6, 2004.

Fourth-Quarter 2003 The Company reported fourth-quarter 2003 sales of nearly $3.0 billion, up $308

million or 11.5% compared to predecessor combined sales of nearly $2.7 billion in

fourth-quarter 2002. The Company also reported $139 million of operating income,

an increase of $36 million from the prior year quarter, and a consolidated net loss of

$1 million or 1 cent per share compared to a predecessor combined net loss of $33

million in the prior year quarter.

On February 28, 2003, affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P. acquired the former

TRW Inc.’s automotive business from Northrop Grumman Corporation. As a result,

certain consolidated and combined financial information contained within this release

(labeled as pro forma) have been adjusted to illustrate the estimated pro forma

effects of such acquisition and a subsequent July 2003 debt refinancing, as if these

transactions had occurred on January 1, 2002.

1

Sales for fourth-quarter 2003 totaled nearly $3.0 billion, up $371 million or 14%

compared to pro forma fourth-quarter 2002. Operating income for the quarter was

$139 million, an increase of $22 million from the prior year pro forma operating

income. This increase reflects a number of factors, including a $66 million decline in

net pension and OPEB income due primarily to the application of purchase

accounting, a $59 million reduction in restructuring and other unusual charges, and

$17 million of unrealized currency gains on debt instruments recognized in the fourth

quarter of 2003. Excluding these factors, operating income improved by $12 million.

The Company’s fourth-quarter 2003 consolidated net loss of $1 million or 1 cent per

share compares to a pro forma consolidated net loss of $7 million or 8 cents per

share in fourth-quarter 2002.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, unrealized currency gains

on debt instruments, and net pension and OPEB expense (EBITDAP) for fourth-

quarter 2003 totaled $276 million, an increase of $67 million compared to pro forma

fourth-quarter 2002. The Company incurred restructuring and other unusual charges

totaling $14 million and $73 million for 2003 and 2002, respectively. Exclusive of

these charges, fourth quarter EBITDAP was $290 million, an improvement of $8

million when compared to pro forma fourth-quarter 2002.

“Through its diversified customer base, the Company benefited from new business

growth and foreign exchange during 2003,” said John C. Plant, president and chief

executive officer. “The commitment by our employees to drive down costs and to

design and manufacture high-quality products were significant contributors to our

2003 financial performance and will continue to be essential to the Company’s future

success and overall competitiveness.”

Full-Year 2003 For the ten-month period from March 1, 2003 (post acquisition date), through

December 31, 2003, the Company reported sales of $9.4 billion, operating income of

$340 million, and net losses of $101 million or $1.16 per share. For the two months

ended February 28, 2003, the predecessor Company reported sales of $1.9 billion,

operating income of $97 million, and net earnings of $31 million.

2

Pro forma sales for full-year 2003 totaled $11.3 billion, an increase of $924 million or

about 9% compared to full-year 2002 pro forma sales. Pro forma operating income

for the year was $579 million, a decline of $86 million from the prior year. This

decrease reflects a number of factors, including a $224 million decline in net pension

and OPEB income due primarily to the application of purchase accounting, a $49

million reduction in restructuring and other unusual charges, and $32 million of

unrealized currency gains on debt instruments recognized in 2003. Excluding these

factors, operating income improved by $57 million. On a pro forma basis, the

Company reported full-year 2003 net earnings of $93 million or $1.03 per share on a

fully diluted basis. In comparison, the Company reported pro forma consolidated net

earnings of $201 million or $2.32 per share in full-year 2002.

Pro forma EBITDAP for full-year 2003 totaled $1,094 million, an increase of $109

million compared to the prior year period pro forma. The Company incurred

restructuring and other unusual charges of $39 million and $88 million for 2003 and

2002, respectively. Excluding these charges, full year pro forma EBITDAP was

$1,133 million, an improvement of $60 million when compared to the prior year.

Capital/Liquidity As of December 31, 2003, the Company had $3,808 million of debt and $844 million

of cash and marketable securities. At year-end, net debt (defined as debt less cash

and marketable securities) totaled $2,964 million, a decrease of $473 million as

compared to the Blackstone acquisition date of February 28, 2003. Cash flow from

operations during the fourth quarter, which is generally the company’s highest cash

generating quarter, amounted to $549 million. Capital expenditures for fourth-quarter

and full-year 2003 totaled $197 million and $415 million, respectively.

2004 Outlook TRW expects full-year 2004 revenue in the range of $11.4 to $11.6 billion and

earnings per share in the range of $1.55 to $1.70, excluding charges for debt

repayment transactions in conjunction with the IPO and a January 2004 bank debt

refinancing. These charges, which at this time have not been finalized, are expected

to be significant and will be included in the Company’s first quarter results. This

range also reflects the impact of interest savings of the IPO as it occurred on

February 6, 2004 and assumes an effective tax rate of approximately 45% for 2004.

3

Further, this guidance includes pre-tax expenses of approximately $33 million for

amortization of intangibles (principally customer relationships) and $30 million related

to restructuring. Excluding these two items, we expect earnings per share in the

range of $2.01 to $2.16.

The Company expects EBITDA in the range of $1,035 to $1,060 million, including

approximately $30 million of pre-tax restructuring charges. Excluding the

restructuring charges, EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $1,065 to $1,090

million. Additionally, the Company expects capital expenditures for the year to be at,

or slightly below, 4% of sales.

For first-quarter 2004, the Company expects revenue of approximately $2.9 billion

and earnings per share in the range of $0.40 to $0.48, excluding charges for debt

repayment transactions as described previously. Earnings per share, excluding

amortization of intangibles and restructuring charges, as discussed above, is

estimated to be in the range of $0.54 to $0.62. The Company also expects EBITDA

in the range of $260 to $270 million, including approximately $10 million of pre-tax

restructuring charges, or $270 to $280 million excluding these charges.

Reconciliation to Actual and Pro Forma EBITDA and EBITDAP (unaudited)

• The reconciliation schedules that follow should be read in conjunction with the TRW

Automotive Holdings Corp. Registration Statement on Form S-1 including the final prospectus dated February 2, 2004 and filed as of February 3, 2004, which contains summary historical and pro forma financial data. The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information is intended to give effect to the February 28, 2003 acquisition of the former TRW Inc.’s automotive business by affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P. from Northrop Grumman Corporation and the July 22, 2003 refinancing of a portion of debt entered into in connection with the acquisition, as if these transactions had occurred on January 1, 2002.

• The EBITDA and EBITDAP measures calculated in the schedules are measures used by

management to evaluate operating performance. Management believes EBITDA and EBITDAP measures are useful to investors because they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management also believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA and EBITDAP are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material cash items and other unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future.

• EBITDA and EBITDAP are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be

alternatives to net earnings (losses) as indicators of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations of EBITDA and EBITDAP may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Additionally, EBITDA and EBITDAP are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements, and, in the case of EBITDAP, pensions and other post retirement benefits.

• The adjustments to EBITDA to arrive at EBITDAP may not be in accordance with current

Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) practice or with regulations adopted by the SEC that apply to registration statements filed under the Securities Act of 1933 and periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, the SEC may require that EBITDAP be presented differently in filings made with the SEC than as presented on these schedules or not presented at all.
