Appendix:Tenneco Projections

23

Tenneco’s revenue outlook for Q4 2018 is as of October 2018. Revenue assumptions are based on projected customer production schedules, IHS Automotive October 2018 forecasts, Power Systems Research October 2018 forecasts and Tenneco estimates.

In addition to the information set forth on slides 15 and 16, Tenneco’s projections are based on the type of information set forth under “Outlook” in Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as set forth in Tenneco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Please see that disclosure for further information. Key additional assumptions and limitations described in that disclosure include:

• Projections are based on original equipment manufacturers’ programs that have been formally awarded to the company; programs where the company is highly confident that it will be awarded business based on informal customer indications consistent withpast practices; and Tenneco’s status as supplier for the existing program and its relationship with the customer.

• Projections are based on the anticipated pricing of each program over its life.

• Except as otherwise indicated, projections assume a fixed foreign currency value. This value is used to translate foreign business to the U.S. dollar.

• Projections are subject to increase or decrease due to changes in customer requirements, customer and consumer preferences, the number of vehicles actually produced by our customers, and pricing.

Certain elements of the restructuring and related expenses, legal settlements and other unusual charges we incur from time to time cannot be forecasted accurately. In this respect, we are not able to forecast EBIT or EBITDA (and the related margins) on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts on account of these factors and the difficulty in predicting GAAP revenues (for purposes of a margin calculation) due to variability in production rates and volatility of precious metal pricing in the substrates that we pass through to our customers.
