Table of Contents

Sales of turbochargers for light vehicles represented approximately 26% of total net sales for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company currently supplies light vehicle turbochargers to many OEMs including BMW, Daimler, Fiat, Ford, General Motors, Hyundai, PSA, Renault and Volkswagen. The Company also supplies commercial vehicle turbochargers to Daimler, Deutz, MAN and Navistar and off-highway turbochargers to Caterpillar and John Deere.

The Company's newest turbocharger technologies are its regulated two-stage turbocharging system, known as R2S®, regulated 3-stage turbocharging systems ("R3S"), variable turbine geometry ("VTG") turbochargers and turbochargers for gasoline direct injected engines, all of which may be found in numerous applications around the world. For example, the Company supplies its award winning R2S® turbocharger technology to Volkswagen's 2.0 liter four-cylinder common-rail diesel engine featured in the Transporter T5 and Amarok pickup and its R3S turbocharger system, an industry first, to BMW for its new high-powered 3.0 liter diesel engine. Also, the Company supplies VTG turbochargers to Renault's 1.6 liter R9M diesel engine featured in the Mégane Scénic and to Great Wall for its 2.0 liter diesel engine. Ford selected BorgWarner's leading gasoline turbocharger technology for its new 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engines, the latter of which launched in the U.S. in the 2012 Explorer and 2012 Edge models and in China in the Ford Mondeo.

The Engine Group's timing systems products include timing chain, variable cam timing (“VCT”), crankshaft and camshaft sprockets, tensioners, guides and snubbers, HY-VO® front-wheel drive (“FWD”) transmission chain and four-wheel drive (“4WD”) chain for light vehicles.

The Company is a leading manufacturer of timing chain systems to OEMs around the world.

The Engine Group's newest product technology is its VCT with mid position lock, which allows a greater range of camshaft positioning thereby enabling greater control over airflow and the opportunity to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and improve engine performance compared with conventional VCT systems. VCT with mid position lock made its debut on Subaru's Boxer® 2.0 liter engine. BorgWarner is currently working with a number of other OEMs interested in implementing this technology. The Company is a leading manufacturer of chain for drivetrain systems. The Company's HY-VO® chain is used to transfer power from the engine to the drivetrain in FWD transmissions and also in 4WD transfer cases, which distributes power between a vehicle's front and rear wheels.

The Engine Group also designs and manufactures products to control emissions and improve fuel economy. These products include electric air pumps, turbo actuators using integrated electronics to precisely control turbocharger speed and pressure ratio and exhaust gas recirculation ("EGR") coolers, tubes and valves for gasoline and diesel applications. In 2010, the Company acquired Dytech Ensa S.L., a leading producer of EGR coolers, EGR tubes and integrated EGR modules including valves for light, commercial and off-highway applications.

The Company is a leading global provider of engine thermal solutions for truck, agricultural and off-highway applications. The Engine Group designs, manufactures and markets viscous fan drives that control fans to sense and respond to multiple cooling requirements. The Engine Group also manufactures and markets polymer fans for engine cooling systems. The Company's thermal products provide improved vehicle fuel economy and reduced engine emissions while minimizing parasitic horsepower loss. The Company has been awarded the "standard position" (the OEM-designated preferred supplier of component systems available to the end-customer) at several major global heavy truck producers.

The Company is a leading global automotive supplier of diesel cold start technology (glow plugs and instant starting systems), including its Pressure Sensor Glow Plug which monitors and enhances the combustion process of a diesel engine, minimizing CO2 and NOx emissions. The Company also designs and manufactures gasoline ignition technology and electronic control units and sensor technology (diesel cabin heaters and selected sensors).

In 2009, the Company announced the purchase of advanced gasoline ignition technology and related intellectual property from Florida-based Etatech, Inc. The high-frequency ignition technology is expected to enable high-performing, lean burning engines to significantly improve fuel economy and reduce emissions compared with conventional combustion technologies.

In 2010, in anticipation of market growth expected for its electric cabin heaters, the Company completed the acquisition of BERU-Eichenauer GmbH by acquiring the shares of its former joint venture partner, Eichenauer Heizelemente GmbH & Co. KG. The former 50/50 joint venture was formed in 2000 to develop and manufacture electric cabin heaters.

The Company sold its tire pressure monitoring and spark plug businesses during the fourth quarter of 2011 and third quarter of 2012, respectively. The sale of these businesses will allow the Company to continue to focus on expanding BERU Systems' core products of glow plugs, diesel cold start systems and other gasoline ignition technologies.

Drivetrain

The Drivetrain Group designs and manufactures automatic transmission components and modules and is a supplier to virtually every major automatic transmission manufacturer in the world for conventional automatic, dual clutch transmissions (“DCT”), automated manual transmissions and continuously variable transmissions. In conventional automatic transmissions, there has been a global market trend from four and five speeds to six, seven and eight speed transmissions. Transmissions with more speeds improve fuel economy and vehicle performance and offer growth opportunities.

 Friction and mechanical products include dual clutch modules, friction clutch modules, friction and steel plates, transmission bands, torque converter clutches, one-way clutches and torsional vibration dampers. Controls products feature electro-hydraulic solenoids for standard and high pressure hydraulic systems, transmission solenoid modules and dual clutch control modules. The Company's 50%-owned joint venture in Japan, NSK-Warner KK ("NSK-Warner"), is a leading producer of friction plates and one-way clutches in Japan and China.

 The Company has led the globalization of today's DCT technology for over 10 years. Following the development of its DCT technology in the 1990s, the Company established its industry-leading position in 2003 with the production launch of its award-winning DualTronic® innovations with VW/Audi. In 2007, the Company launched its first dual-clutch technology application in a Japanese transmission with Nissan.

 The Company has announced DCT programs with customers that include VW/Audi, SAIC and Nissan, in addition to Getrag DCT programs with BMW, Ford and other global automakers. The Company is working on several other DCT programs with OEMs around the world. BorgWarner DualTronic® technology enables a conventional, manual gearbox to function as a fully automatic transmission by eliminating the interruption in power flow that occurs when shifting a single clutch manual transmission. The result is a smooth shifting automatic transmission with the fuel efficiency and great driving experience of a manual gearbox.

In 2008, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with China Automobile Development United Investment Company, a company owned by 12 leading Chinese automakers, to produce various DCT modules for the Chinese market. The joint venture's operations are located in Dalian, China and production is scheduled to begin in 2013. The Company owns 66% of the joint venture.

The Drivetrain Group's torque management products include rear-wheel drive (“RWD”)/all-wheel drive ("AWD") transfer case systems, FWD/AWD coupling systems and cross-axle coupling systems. The Company's focus is on developing electronically controlled torque management devices and systems that will benefit vehicle dynamics, fuel economy and stability.

 Transfer cases are installed on RWD based light trucks, SUVs, cross-over utility vehicles (“CUVs”), and passenger cars. A transfer case attaches to the transmission and distributes torque to the front and rear axles improving vehicle traction and stability in dynamic driving conditions. There are many variants of the Company's transfer case technology in the market today, including Torque On-Demand (TOD®), chain-driven, gear-driven, 1-speed and 2-speed transfer cases. The Company's transfer cases are featured on the Ford F-150 and on the Dodge Ram light-duty and heavy-duty trucks.

The Company is involved in the AWD market for FWD based vehicles with couplings that use electronically-controlled clutches to distribute power to the rear wheels instantly as traction is required. The Company's latest coupling innovation, the Centrifugal Electro-Hydraulic (“CEH”) Actuator, which is utilized to engage the clutches in the coupling, produces outstanding vehicle stability and traction while promoting better fuel economy with reduced weight. The CEH Actuator is found in the AWD couplings featured in several current FWD/AWD vehicles including the Audi A3, Skoda Octavia,Volvo XC60 and VW Golf.

In 2011, the Company acquired the Traction Systems division of Haldex Group, a leading provider of innovative AWD products for the global vehicle industry headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. This acquisition has accelerated BorgWarner's growth in the global AWD market as it continues to shift toward FWD based vehicles. The acquisition will continue to add industry leading AWD technologies for FWD based vehicles, with a strong European customer base, to BorgWarner's portfolio of front- and rear-wheel drive based products. This enables BorgWarner to offer global customers a broader range of AWD solutions to meet their vehicle needs.

The Company's automotive products are generally sold directly to OEMs, substantially pursuant to negotiated annual contracts, long-term supply agreements or terms and conditions as may be modified by the parties. Deliveries are subject to periodic authorizations based upon OEM production schedules. The Company typically ships its products directly from its plants to the OEMs.

Sales and Marketing

Each of the Company's businesses within its two reporting segments has its own sales function. Account executives for each of our business units are assigned to serve specific OEM customers for one or more of a business unit's products. Our account executives spend the majority of their time in direct contact with OEM purchasing and engineering employees and are responsible for servicing existing business and for identifying and obtaining new business.  Because of their close relationship with OEMs, account executives are able to identify and meet customers' needs based upon their knowledge of our products' design and manufacturing capabilities. Upon securing a new order, account executives participate in product launch team activities and serve as a key interface with customers.

In addition, the sales and marketing employees of our Engine and Drivetrain reporting segments often work together to explore cross-development opportunities for the business units. The development of DualTronic®, the Company's wet-clutch and control-system technology for a new-concept automated transmission, is an example of a successful collaboration.

Seasonality

Our operations are directly related to the automotive industry. Consequently, we may experience seasonal fluctuations to the extent automotive vehicle production slows, such as in the summer months when many customer plants typically close for model year changeovers or vacations. Historically, model changeovers or vacations have generally resulted in lower sales volume in the third quarter.

Research and Development

The Company conducts advanced Engine and Drivetrain research at the reporting segment level. This advanced engineering function looks to leverage know-how and expertise across product lines to create new Engine and Drivetrain systems and modules that can be commercialized. This function manages a venture capital fund that was created by the Company as seed money for new innovation and collaboration across businesses.

In addition, each of the Company's business units within its two reporting segments has its own research and development (“R&D”) organization, including engineers and technicians, engaged in R&D activities at facilities worldwide. The Company also operates testing facilities such as prototype, measurement and calibration, life cycle testing and dynamometer laboratories.

Table of Contents


By working closely with the OEMs and anticipating their future product needs, the Company's R&D personnel conceive, design, develop and manufacture new proprietary automotive components and systems. R&D personnel also work to improve current products and production processes. The Company believes its commitment to R&D will allow it to obtain new orders from its OEM customers.

The Company's net R&D expenditures are included in selling, general and administrative expenses of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Customer reimbursements are netted against gross R&D expenditures as they are considered a recovery of cost. Customer reimbursements for prototypes are recorded net of prototype costs based on customer contracts, typically either when the prototype is shipped or when it is accepted by the customer. Customer reimbursements for engineering services are recorded when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with the contract and accepted by the customer. Financial risks and rewards transfer upon shipment, acceptance of a prototype component by the customer or upon completion of the performance obligation as stated in the respective customer agreement.

The Company has contracts with several customers at the Company's various R&D locations. No such contract exceeded 5% of net R&D expenditures in any of the years presented.

Intellectual Property

The Company has more than 4,200 active domestic and foreign patents and patent applications pending or under preparation, and receives royalties from licensing patent rights to others. While it considers its patents on the whole to be important, the Company does not consider any single patent, any group of related patents or any single license essential to its operations in the aggregate or to the operations of any of the Company's business groups individually. The expiration of the patents individually and in the aggregate is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or future operating results. The Company owns numerous trademarks, some of which are valuable, but none of which are essential to its business in the aggregate.

The Company owns the “BorgWarner” and “Borg-Warner Automotive” trade names and housemarks, and variations thereof, which are material to the Company's business.  

Competition

The Company's reporting segments compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell similar products. Many of these competitors are larger and have greater resources than the Company. Technological innovation, application engineering development, quality, price, delivery and program launch support are the primary elements of competition.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had a salaried and hourly workforce of approximately 19,100 (as compared with approximately 19,250 at December 31, 2011), of which approximately 5,500 were in the U.S.  Approximately 20% of the Company's U.S. workforce is unionized. The workforces at certain international facilities are also unionized. The Company believes the present relations with our workforce to be satisfactory.

Our only domestic collective bargaining agreement is for our Ithaca and Cortland, New York facilities. This agreement expires in September 2016.

Raw Materials

The Company uses a variety of raw materials in the production of its automotive products including steel, aluminum, copper, nickel, plastic resins and certain alloy elements. Manufacturing operations for each of the Company's operating segments are dependent upon natural gas, fuel oil and electricity.

Commodity prices remained volatile in 2012. The Company uses a variety of tactics in order to limit the impact of supply shortages and inflationary pressures. The Company's global procurement organization works to accelerate cost reductions, purchases from lower cost regions, supplier rationalization, risk mitigation efforts and collaborative buying activities. In addition, the Company uses long-term contracts, cost sharing arrangements, design changes, customer buy programs and limited financial instruments to help control costs. The Company intends to use similar measures in 2013 and beyond.  Refer to Note 10, “Financial Instruments,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for information related to the Company's hedging activities. 

For 2013, the Company believes that its supplies of raw materials are adequate and available from multiple sources to support its manufacturing requirements.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors    

The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impact our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business including its financial performance, financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Risks related to our industry

Conditions in the automotive industry may adversely affect our business.

Our financial performance depends on conditions in the global automotive industry. Automotive and truck production and sales are cyclical and sensitive to general economic conditions and other factors including interest rates, consumer credit, and consumer spending and preferences. Economic declines that result in significant reduction in automotive or truck production would have a material adverse affect on our sales to OEMs.

Table of Contents

We face strong competition.

We compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell products similar to ours. Price, quality, delivery, technological innovation, application engineering development and program launch support are the primary elements of competition. Our competitors include vertically integrated units of our major OEM customers, as well as a large number of independent domestic and international suppliers. We are not as large as a number of these companies and do not have as many financial or other resources. Although OEMs have indicated that they will continue to rely on outside suppliers, a number of our major OEM customers manufacture products for their own uses that directly compete with our products. These OEMs could elect to manufacture such products for their own uses in place of the products we currently supply. The competitive environment has changed dramatically over the past few years as our traditional U.S. OEM customers, faced with intense international competition, have expanded their worldwide sourcing of components. As a result, we have experienced competition from suppliers in other parts of the world that enjoy economic advantages, such as lower labor costs, lower health care costs, lower tax rates and, in some cases, export or raw materials subsidies. Increased competition could adversely affect our business.

Risks related to our business

We are under substantial pressure from OEMs to reduce the prices of our products.

There is substantial and continuing pressure on OEMs to reduce costs, including costs of products we supply. Annual price reductions to OEM customers have become a permanent feature of our business environment. To maintain our profit margins, we seek price reductions from our suppliers, improve production processes to increase manufacturing efficiency, update product designs to reduce costs and develop new products, the benefits of which support stable or increased prices. Our ability to pass through increased raw material costs to our OEM customers is limited, with cost recovery often less than 100% and often on a delayed basis. Inability to reduce costs in an amount equal to annual price reductions, increases in raw material costs, and increases in employee wages and benefits could have an adverse effect on our business.

We continue to face highly volatile costs of commodities used in the production of our products.

The Company uses a variety of commodities (including steel, nickel, copper, aluminum, plastic resins, other raw materials and energy) and materials purchased in various forms such as castings, powder metal, forgings, stampings and bar stock. Increasing commodity costs will have an impact on our results.  We have sought to alleviate the impact of increasing costs by including a material pass-through provision in our customer contracts wherever possible and by selectively hedging certain commodity exposures. Customers frequently challenge these contractual provisions and rarely pay the full cost of any material increases. The discontinuation of our ability to pass-through or hedge increasing commodity costs could adversely affect our business.

From time to time, commodity prices may also fall rapidly. When this happens, suppliers may withdraw capacity from the market until prices improve which may cause periodic supply interruptions. The same may be true of our transportation carriers and energy providers. If these supply interruptions occur, it could adversely affect our business.

Table of Contents

We use important intellectual property in our business. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property or if a third party makes assertions against us or our customers relating to intellectual property rights, our business could be adversely affected.

We own important intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets, and are involved in numerous licensing arrangements. Our intellectual property plays an important role in maintaining our competitive position in a number of the markets that we serve. Our competitors may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our proprietary technologies or design around the patents we own or license. Further, as we expand our operations in jurisdictions where the protection of intellectual property rights is less robust, the risk of others duplicating our proprietary technologies increases, despite efforts we undertake to protect them. Developments or assertions by or against us relating to intellectual property rights, and any inability to protect these rights, could materially adversely impact our business and our competitive position.

We are subject to business continuity risks associated with increasing centralization of our information technology systems.

To improve efficiency and reduce costs, we have regionally centralized the information systems that support our business processes such as invoicing, payroll and general management operations. If the centralized systems are disrupted or disabled, key business processes could be interrupted, which could adversely affect our business.

Our business success depends on attracting and retaining qualified personnel.

Our ability to sustain and grow our business requires us to hire, retain and develop a highly skilled and diverse management team and workforce worldwide. Any unplanned turnover or inability to attract and retain key employees in numbers sufficient for our needs could adversely affect our business.

Part of our workforce is unionized which could subject us to work stoppages.

As of December 31, 2012, approximately 20% of our U.S. workforce was unionized. Our only domestic collective bargaining agreement is for our Ithaca and Cortland, New York facilities. This agreement expires in September 2016. The workforce at certain of our international facilities is also unionized. A prolonged dispute with our employees could have an adverse effect on our business.

We are impacted by the rising cost of providing retirement benefits and certain retirement benefit plans we sponsor are currently unfunded or underfunded.

We sponsor certain retirement benefit plans worldwide that are unfunded or underfunded and will require cash payments. If the performance of the assets in our funded pension plans do not meet our expectations, if medical costs continue to increase or actuarial assumptions are modified, our required cash payments may be higher than we expect.

Table of Contents

We are subject to extensive environmental regulations.

Our operations are subject to laws governing, among other things, emissions to air, discharges to waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and other materials. The operation of automotive parts manufacturing plants entails risks in these areas, and we cannot assure you that we will not incur material costs or liabilities as a result. Through various acquisitions over the years, we have acquired a number of manufacturing facilities, and we cannot assure you that we will not incur material costs and liabilities relating to activities that predate our ownership. In addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required in order to comply with evolving environmental, health and safety laws that may be adopted in the future. Costs associated with failure to comply with environmental regulations could have an adverse effect on our business.

We have contingent liabilities related to environmental, product warranties, regulatory matters, litigation and other claims.

We and certain of our current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and equivalent state laws.

We provide product warranties to our customers for some of our products. Under these product warranties, we may be required to bear costs and expenses for the repair or replacement of these products. We cannot assure you that costs and expenses associated with these product warranties will not be material, or that those costs will not exceed any amounts accrued for such product warranties in our financial statements.

We are currently, and may in the future become, subject to legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes. These claims typically arise in the normal course of business and may include, but not be limited to, commercial or contractual disputes with our suppliers, intellectual property matters, personal injury, product liability, environmental and employment claims. There is a possibility that such claims may have an adverse impact on our business that is greater than we anticipate.

Negative or unexpected tax consequences could adversely affect our business.

Adverse changes in the underlying profitability and financial outlook of our operations in several jurisdictions could lead to changes in our valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and other tax accruals that could adversely affect our financial performance.

Additionally, we are subject to tax audits by governmental authorities in the U.S. and numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions, which are inherently uncertain. Negative or unexpected results from one or more such tax audits or changes to tax laws governing the jurisdictions in which we operate could adversely affect our business.

Table of Contents

Our growth strategy may prove unsuccessful.

We have a stated goal of increasing sales and operating income at a rate greater than global vehicle production by increasing content per vehicle with innovative new components and through select acquisitions. We may not meet our goal because of any of the following: (a) the failure to develop new products that will be purchased by our customers; (b) technology changes rendering our products obsolete; (c) a reversal of the trend of supplying systems (which allows us to increase content per vehicle) instead of components; and (d) the failure to find suitable acquisition targets or the failure to integrate operations of acquired businesses quickly and cost affectively. Failure to execute our growth strategy could adversely affect our business.

We are subject to risks related to our international operations.

We have manufacturing and technical facilities in many regions including the Americas, Europe and Asia. For 2012, approximately 74% of our sales were outside the U.S. Consequently, our results could be affected by changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, trade restrictions or prohibitions, import or other charges or taxes, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, limitations on the repatriation of funds, changing economic conditions, unreliable intellectual property protection and legal systems, insufficient infrastructures, social unrest, political instability and disputes, and international terrorism. Compliance with multiple and potentially conflicting laws and regulations of various countries is burdensome and expensive.

A downgrade in the ratings of our debt could restrict our ability to access the debt capital markets.

Changes in the ratings that rating agencies assign to our debt may ultimately impact our access to the debt capital markets and the costs we incur to borrow funds. If ratings for our debt fall below investment grade, our access to the debt capital markets could become restricted.

Additionally, our revolving credit agreement includes an increase in interest rates if the ratings for our debt are downgraded. The interest costs on our revolving credit agreement are based on a rating grid agreed to in our credit agreement. Further, an increase in the level of our indebtedness and related interest costs may increase our vulnerability to adverse general economic and industry conditions and may affect our ability to obtain additional financing.

Risks related to our customers

We rely on sales to major customers.

We rely on sales to OEMs around the world of varying credit quality. Supply to several of these customers requires significant investment by the Company. We base our growth projections, in part, on commitments made by our customers. These commitments generally renew yearly during a program life cycle. If actual production orders from our customers do not approximate such commitments due to any of a variety of factors including non-renewal of purchase orders, the customer's financial hardship or other unforeseen reasons, it could adversely affect our business.

Furthermore, some of our sales are concentrated. Our worldwide sales in 2012 to Volkswagen and Ford constituted approximately 17% and 13%, respectively, of our 2012 consolidated net sales.   


18
  


Table of Contents

We are sensitive to the effects of our major customers’ labor relations.

All three of our primary North American customers, Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, have major union contracts with the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America. Because of domestic OEMs' dependence on a single union, we are affected by labor difficulties and work stoppages at OEMs' facilities. Similarly, a majority of our global customers' operations outside of North America are also represented by various unions. Any extended work stoppage could have an adverse affect on our business.

Risks related to our suppliers

We could be adversely affected by supply shortages of components from our suppliers.

In an effort to manage and reduce the cost of purchased goods and services, we have been rationalizing our supply base. As a result, we are dependent on fewer sources of supply for certain components used in the manufacture of our products. The Company selects suppliers based on total value (including total landed price, quality, delivery, and technology), taking into consideration their production capacities and financial condition. We expect that they will deliver to our stated written expectations.

However, there can be no assurance that capacity limitations, labor unrest, weather emergencies, commercial disputes, government actions, riots, wars, sabotage, non-conforming parts, acts of terrorism, “Acts of God," or other problems experienced by our suppliers will not result in occasional shortages or delays in their supply of components to us. If we were to experience a significant or prolonged shortage of critical components from any of our suppliers and could not procure the components from other sources, we would be unable to meet the production schedules for some of our key products and could miss customer delivery expectations. This would adversely affect our customer relations and business.

Suppliers’ economic distress could result in the disruption of our operations and could adversely affect our business.

Rapidly changing industry conditions such as volatile production volumes; credit tightness; changes in foreign currencies; raw material, commodity, transportation, and energy price escalation; drastic changes in consumer preferences; and other factors could adversely affect our supply chain, and sometimes with little advanced notice. These conditions could also result in increased commercial disputes and supply interruption risks. In certain instances, it would be difficult and expensive for us to change suppliers that are critical to our business. On occasion, we must provide financial support to distressed suppliers or take other measures to protect our supply lines. While we have taken definite actions to mitigate these factors, we cannot predict with certainty the potential adverse effects these costs might have on our business.

We are subject to possible insolvency of outsourced service providers.

The Company relies on third party service providers for administration of workers' compensation claims, health care benefits, pension benefits, stockholder and bondholder registration and similar services. These service providers contribute to the efficient conduct of the Company's business. Insolvency of one or more of these service providers could adversely affect our business.

We are subject to possible insolvency of financial counterparties.

The Company engages in numerous financial transactions and contracts including insurance policies, letters of credit, credit line agreements, financial derivatives, and investment management agreements involving various counterparties. The Company is subject to the risk that one or more of these counterparties may become insolvent and therefore be unable to discharge its obligations under such contracts.

Table of Contents

Other risks

A variety of other factors could adversely affect our business.

Any of the following could materially and adversely affect our business: the loss of or changes in supply contracts or sourcing strategies of our major customers or suppliers; start-up expenses associated with new vehicle programs or delays or cancellation of such programs, utilization of our manufacturing facilities, which can be dependent on a single product line or customer; inability to recover engineering and tooling costs; market and financial consequences of recalls that may be required on products we supplied; delays or difficulties in new product development; the possible introduction of similar or superior technologies by others; global excess capacity and vehicle platform proliferation; and the impact of natural disasters.

Refer to Note 15, "Earnings per Share," in Item 8 of this report regarding the impact of the Company's 3.50% convertible senior notes and associated call options and warrants on the Company's earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. For the year ending December 31, 2009, the impact of the Company's 3.50% convertible senior notes and associated warrants were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because including them, under the if-converted method, would have increased earnings per share.

(b)
The Company had a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share in the period, as any dilutive securities would reduce the loss per share.

(c)
Refer to Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," for discussion of non-comparable items impacting the years ending December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

A summary of non-comparable items impacting the Company’s net earnings for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

Year ended December 31, 2012:
The Company incurred $39.7 million of expense and $5.7 million of tax expense associated with the loss on sale of the spark plug business, primarily related to the write-down of prior purchase price accounting adjustments included within the disposal group. The Company also recorded restructuring expense of $27.4 million, primarily associated with the disposal and future requirements of BERU's on-going business, which was partially offset by a tax benefit of $7.7 million.
Retirement related obligations of $17.3 million are comprised of a $5.7 million loss resulting from the settlement of a portion of the Muncie Plant's pension obligation and an $11.6 million expense associated with the retirement of certain Named Executive Officers.These obligations were partially offset by a $6.1 million tax benefit.
The Company incurred $19.8 million of tax expense resulting from other tax adjustments. These other tax adjustments primarily include tax expense resulting from the settlement of certain tax audits, the Company's second quarter 2012 decision to change its cash repatriation assertion for some of its foreign subsidiaries and a correction of the income taxes payable balance, partially offset by a tax benefit related to certain countries enacting changes to their respective statutory income tax rates.
Year ended December 31, 2011:
The Company incurred $21.5 million in expense associated with the loss on sale of the tire pressure monitoring business, including costs related to the divestiture, and a write-down of a portion of the ignitor and electronic business. In addition, the Company recorded $1.4 million of tax benefit associated with the disposals and $4.1 million of tax expense related to an intercompany disposal transaction.
The Company recorded a $29.1 million patent infringement settlement gain, net of legal costs incurred, which was partially offset by $11.0 million of tax expense.
The Company recorded a $6.2 million benefit related to tax adjustments resulting from a change in state corporate income tax legislation as well as an adjustment of the Company's tax accounts as a result of the closure of certain tax audits.

Estimated data provided by IHS Automotive.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $7,183.2 million, a 1.0% increase from the year ended December 31, 2011. Excluding the impact of the first quarter 2011 acquisition of Haldex Traction Holding AB, fourth quarter of 2011 and third quarter of 2012 dispositions and the impact of weaker foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 6%. This increase occurred while estimated light vehicle production was up 6% worldwide, primarily driven by a 17% increase in North America and a 19% increase in Japan, partially offset by a 6% decrease in Europe from the year ended December 31, 2011.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $7,114.7 million, a 25.9% increase from the year ended December 31, 2010 and better than the then estimated worldwide market production increase of 3%. Excluding the impact of strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, the second quarter 2010 purchase of Dytech Ensa S.L. and the first quarter 2011 purchase of Haldex Traction AB, net sales increased by approximately 17% during the year ended December 31, 2011. The above-market growth for the Company was driven by the industry's focus on fuel economy and lower emissions.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 79.6%, 80.2% and 80.7% in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company's material cost of sales was approximately 50% of net sales in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. The Company's remaining cost to convert raw material to finished product, which includes direct labor and manufacturing overhead, has continued to improve during the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 as a result of increased net sales and successful cost reduction actions. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 20.4%, 19.8% and 19.3% in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $629.3 million, $621.0 million and $566.6 million or 8.8%, 8.7% and 10.0% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. SG&A remained relatively flat during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 as a result of increased research and development ("R&D") costs included in SG&A, offset by continued cost management. The increase in SG&A for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with the year ended December 31, 2010 of $54.4 million was primarily due to the $58.7 million, or 31.7%, increase in R&D costs. The SG&A decrease as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by the significant year over year increase in net sales.

R&D costs, net of customer reimbursements, was $265.9 million, or 3.7% of net sales, in the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $243.7 million, or 3.4% of net sales, and $185.0 million, or 3.3% of net sales, in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We will continue to invest in a number of cross-business R&D programs, as well as a number of other key programs, all of which are necessary for short- and long-term growth. Our current long-term expectation for R&D spending is approximately 4% of net sales.

Other (income) expense was $84.7 million, $(8.1) million and $22.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This line item is primarily comprised of transactions discussed within the subtitle "Non-comparable items impacting the Company's earnings per diluted share and net earnings" above.

Table of Contents


Equity in affiliates' earnings, net of tax was $42.8 million, $38.2 million and $39.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This line item is primarily driven by the results of our 50%-owned Japanese joint venture, NSK-Warner, and our 32.6%-owned Indian joint venture, Turbo Energy Limited (“TEL”). The increase in equity in affiliates' earnings for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared with the year ended December 31, 2011 is primarily due to year over year growth in the Japanese auto market resulting in improved earnings from the Company's interest in NSK-Warner. The decrease in equity in affiliates' earnings for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 is primarily due to lower production volumes in Japan as a result of natural disasters. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for further discussion of NSK-Warner.

Interest expense and finance charges were $39.4 million, $74.6 million and $68.8 million in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared with the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily due to the April 2012 settlement of the Company's convertible senior notes, the ineffectiveness of cross-currency swaps and higher capitalized interest associated with increased long-term capital projects. The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to higher debt levels.

Provision for income taxes The provision for income taxes resulted in an effective tax rate of 31.4% for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with rates of 25.5% and 17.1% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company's provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes a net tax benefit of $2.0 million associated with the loss from disposal activities and restructuring expense. The $2.0 million net benefit is comprised of a tax benefit of $7.7 million associated with restructuring expense, partially offset by tax expense of $5.7 million resulting from the sale of the spark plug business. Additionally, the provision includes a tax benefit of $6.1 million related to retirement related obligations and additional tax expense of $19.8 million resulting from other tax adjustments. These other tax adjustments include $5.9 million of tax expense primarily resulting from the settlement of certain tax audits, $7.5 million of tax expense associated with the Company's second quarter 2012 decision to change its cash repatriation assertion for some of its foreign subsidiaries, $4.7 million of tax benefit related to certain countries enacting changes to their respective statutory income tax rates and $11.1 million of U.S. tax expense to correct the income taxes payable balance. Excluding the impact of these non-comparable items, the Company's annual effective tax rate associated with ongoing operations for 2012 was 26.8%.

In January 2013, the United States Congress passed an extension of the federal research and development tax credit and other international tax provisions through December 31, 2013. As a result, we expect that our tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 will include a discrete tax benefit which will reduce our effective tax rate for the quarter and, to a lesser extent, the full year.

The effective tax rate of 25.5% for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes $11.0 million of tax expense associated with the Company's patent infringement settlement, $2.7 million of tax expense associated with the loss on disposals and a tax benefit of $6.2 million resulting from other tax adjustments. These other tax adjustments related to a change in state corporate income tax legislation as well as an adjustment of the Company's tax accounts as a result of the closure of certain tax audits. This rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign rates, which differ from those in the U.S., the realization of certain business tax credits including foreign tax credits and favorable permanent differences between book and tax treatment for items, including equity in affiliates' earnings. Excluding the impact of these non-comparable items, the Company's annual effective tax rate associated with ongoing operations for 2011 was 24.8%.

The effective tax rate of 17.1% for the year ended December 31, 2010 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign rates, which differ from those in the U.S., the realization of certain business tax credits including foreign tax credits and favorable permanent differences between book and tax treatment for items, including equity in affiliates' earnings. Excluding the impact of the items mentioned above, the Company's annual effective tax rate associated with ongoing business operations was 21.7%.

Net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest, net of tax of $21.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased by $1.0 million and $2.7 million compared to 2012 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increases during the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 are primarily related to higher sales and earnings by the Company's joint ventures.

Results By Reporting Segment

The Company's business is comprised of two reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain. These segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents a specific grouping of related automotive components and systems.

The Company allocates resources to each segment based upon the projected after-tax return on invested capital ("ROIC") of its business initiatives. ROIC is comprised of Adjusted EBIT after deducting notional taxes compared to the projected average capital investment required. Adjusted EBIT is comprised of earnings before interest, income taxes and noncontrolling interest (“EBIT") adjusted for restructuring, goodwill impairment charges, affiliates' earnings and other items not reflective of ongoing operating income or loss.

Adjusted EBIT is the measure of segment income or loss used by the Company. The Company believes Adjusted EBIT is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our reporting segments.

The following tables show segment information and Adjusted EBIT for the Company's reporting segments.

The Engine segment's net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased $137.6 million, or 2.7%, and segment Adjusted EBIT increased $12.1 million, or 1.6%, from the year ended December 31, 2011. Excluding the impact of the fourth quarter 2011 and third quarter 2012 dispositions and weaker foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 4% from the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase was primarily driven by global growth in most major product groups. The segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 16.0% for the year ended December 31, 2012, up from 15.3% in the year ended December 31, 2011. The Adjusted EBIT margin increase was primarily driven by continued cost management.

The Engine segment's net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $989.8 million, or 24.4%, and segment Adjusted EBIT increased $236.4 million, or 43.9%, from the year ended December 31, 2010. Excluding the impact of strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, and the second quarter 2010 acquisition of Dytech ENSA S.L., net sales increased approximately 18%. The segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 15.3% for the year ended December 31, 2011, up from 13.2% in the year ended December 31, 2010. The net sales and Adjusted EBIT margin increases were primarily driven by strong global growth in all major product groups and continued cost management.

The Drivetrain segment's net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased $214.2 million, or 10.3%, and segment Adjusted EBIT increased $47.9 million, or 29.7%, from the year ended December 31, 2011. Excluding the acquisition of Haldex Traction AB and the impact of weaker foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 13% from the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase was primarily driven by strong global growth in all major product groups. The segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 9.1% in the year ended December 31, 2012, up from 7.7% in the year ended December 31, 2011. The Adjusted EBIT margin increase was primarily driven by strong global growth in all major product groups, operational improvements and continued cost management.

The Drivetrain segment's net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $473.1 million, or 29.4%, and segment Adjusted EBIT increased $24.2 million, or 17.7%, from the year ended December 31, 2010. Excluding the impact of strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, and the first quarter 2011 acquisition of Haldex Traction AB, net sales increased approximately 14%. The net sales increase was a result of strong four-wheel drive system and traditional transmission component sales in South Korea and higher dual clutch transmission module sales in Europe. The segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 7.7% in the year ended December 31, 2011, down from 8.5% in the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to operational inefficiencies in its European operations and Traction Systems acquisition related expenses.

Corporate represents headquarters' expenses not directly attributable to the individual segments, expenses associated with divested operations and equity in affiliates' earnings. This net expense was $115.4 million, $107.4 million and $111.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Outlook

Based on weakening global economic conditions, particularly in Europe, our overall outlook for 2013 is cautious. The Company expects global production volumes to be slightly higher in 2013 compared with 2012. In Europe, our largest market, we expect production volumes to decline in 2013 compared with 2012. However, we expect that higher adoption rates of BorgWarner products around the world will result in sales growth for the Company in 2013.

The Company maintains a positive long-term outlook for its global business and is committed to new product development and strategic capital investments to enhance its product leadership strategy. The trends that are driving our long-term growth are expected to continue, including the growth of direct injection diesel and gasoline engines worldwide, the increased adoption of automated transmissions in Europe and Asia-Pacific, and the move to variable cam and chain engine timing systems in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company maintains various liquidity sources including cash and cash equivalents and the unused portion of our multi-currency revolving credit agreement. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $715.7 million of cash, including $712.1 million of cash held by our subsidiaries outside of the United States. Cash held by these subsidiaries is used to fund foreign operational activities and future investments, including acquisitions. The vast majority of cash held outside the United States is available for repatriation, however, doing so could result in increased foreign and U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. A deferred tax liability has been recorded for the portion of these funds anticipated to be repatriated to the United States.

The Company's $650 million multi-currency revolving credit facility, which includes a feature that allows the Company's borrowings to be increased to $1 billion, provides for borrowings through June 30, 2016 and is guaranteed by the Company's material domestic subsidiaries. The Company has two key financial covenants as part of the credit agreement. These covenants are a debt compared to EBITDA (“Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization”) test and an interest coverage test. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2012 and expects to remain compliant in future periods. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $140.0 million and $70.0 million, respectively, under this facility.

On April 9, 2009, the Company issued $373.8 million in convertible senior notes, which were settled in April 2012 by delivering approximately 11.4 million shares of common stock held in treasury to the note holders. The settlement resulted in a reduction in the current portion of long-term debt of $373.8 million, a reduction in common stock held in treasury of $617.3 million and a reduction in capital in excess of par value of $243.5 million.

Table of Contents

In conjunction with the convertible senior note offering, the Company entered into a bond hedge overlay, including both call options and warrants, at a net pre-tax cost of $25.2 million, effectively raising the conversion premium to 50%, or approximately $38.61 per share. On April 16, 2012, the Company settled the call option portion of the bond hedge overlay, receiving approximately 6.5 million shares of its common stock. The settlement resulted in an increase to common stock held in treasury of $503.9 million offset by an increase to capital in excess of par value of $503.9 million.

During the third and fourth quarters of 2012, the Company settled the warrants included in the bond hedge overlay, delivering approximately 4.9 million shares of its common stock held in treasury, resulting in a reduction in common stock held in treasury of $338.5 million offset by a reduction to capital in excess of par value of $338.5 million.

In addition to the credit facility, the Company's universal shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission has an unlimited amount of various debt and equity instruments that could be issued.

From a credit quality perspective, the Company has a credit rating of Baa2 from Moody's. In April 2012, the Company's credit rating was raised to BBB+ from BBB by both Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings. The current outlook from Moody's, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings is stable. None of the Company’s debt agreements require accelerated repayment in the event of a downgrade in credit ratings.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $878.7 million, $708.2 million and $538.9 million in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared with the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily reflects improved working capital management. The increase in the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily reflects higher earnings.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $345.2 million, $564.5 million and $429.5 million in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in the year ended December 31, 2012 compared with the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily reflects the cash payment of $203.7 million made during the first quarter of 2011 for the acquisition of Haldex Traction AB and the cash proceeds of $55.2 million received during the third quarter of 2012 from the sale of the spark plug business, which was partially offset by increased capital expenditures. The increase in cash used in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to increased capital spending and higher payments for businesses acquired, net of cash acquired. Year over year capital spending increases of $13.7 million and $117.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were primarily due to higher spending levels required to meet increased program launches worldwide.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $188.6 million, $219.7 million and $13.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The $31.1 million decrease in the year ended December 31, 2012 compared with the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily driven by decreased purchases of treasury stock partially offset by an increase in dividends paid to noncontrolling stockholders.

The $206.5 million increase in cash used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 reflects lower net borrowings of $133.2 million, an increase in the Company's purchases of treasury stock of $31.9 million and the purchase of the noncontrolling interest's 40% share of BorgWarner Vikas Emissions Systems India Private Limited of $29.4 million.

See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures related to the Company’s income taxes.

We believe that the combination of cash from operations, cash balances, available credit facilities, and the remaining shelf registration capacity will be sufficient to satisfy our cash needs for our current level of operations and our planned operations for the foreseeable future. We will continue to balance our needs for internal growth, external growth, debt reduction and cash conservation.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has certain leases that are recorded as operating leases. Types of operating leases include leases on the headquarters facility, an airplane, vehicles and certain office equipment. The total expected future cash outlays for non-cancelable operating lease obligations at December 31, 2012 is $68.7 million. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on operating leases, including future minimum payments.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

The Company's policy is to fund its defined benefit pension plans in accordance with applicable government regulations and to make additional contributions when appropriate. At December 31, 2012, all legal funding requirements had been met. The Company contributed $18.0 million, $37.0 million and $25.1 million to its defined benefit pension plans in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company expects to contribute a total of $15 million to $25 million into its defined benefit pension plans during 2013. Of the $15 million to $25 million in projected 2013 contributions, $7.1 million are contractual obligations, while the remaining payments are discretionary.

The funded status of all pension plans was a net unfunded position of $317.1 million and $236.4 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $192.4 million and $128.7 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were related to plans in Germany, where there is not a tax deduction allowed under the applicable regulations to fund the plans; hence the common practice is to make contributions as benefit payments become due.

Table of Contents

Other postretirement benefits primarily consist of postretirement health care benefits for certain employees and retirees of the Company's U.S. operations. The Company funds these benefits as retiree claims are incurred. Other postretirement benefits had an unfunded status of $220.5 million and $251.0 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company believes it will be able to fund the requirements of these plans through cash generated from operations or other available sources of financing for the foreseeable future.

See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding costs and assumptions for employee retirement benefits.
 
OTHER MATTERS

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims, general liability and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. The Company's environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. The Company's management does not expect that the results in any of these commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Litigation

In January 2006, BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products Inc. ("DTP"), a subsidiary of the Company, filed a declaratory judgment action in United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana (Indianapolis Division) against the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implements Workers of America (“UAW”) Local No. 287 and Gerald Poor, individually and as the representative of a defendant class. DTP sought the Court's affirmation that DTP did not violate the Labor-Management Relations Act or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by unilaterally amending certain medical plans effective April 1, 2006 and October 1, 2006, prior to the expiration of the then-current collective bargaining agreements. On September 10, 2008, the Court found that DTP's reservation of the right to make such amendments reducing the level of benefits provided to retirees was limited by its collectively bargained health insurance agreement with the UAW, which did not expire until April 24, 2009. Thus, the amendments were untimely. In 2008, the Company recorded a charge of $4.0 million as a result of the Court's decision.

DTP filed a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana (Indianapolis Division) against the UAW Local No. 287 and Jim Barrett and others, individually and as representatives of a defendant class, on February 26, 2009 again seeking the Court's affirmation that DTP did not violate the Labor - Management Relations Act or ERISA by modifying the level of benefits provided retirees to make them comparable to other Company retiree benefit plans after April 24, 2009. Certain retirees, on behalf of themselves and others, filed a mirror-image action in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan (Southern Division) on March 11, 2009, for which a class has been certified. During the last quarter of 2009, the action pending in Indiana was dismissed, while the action in Michigan is continuing. The Company is vigorously defending against the suit.  This contingency is subject to many uncertainties, therefore based on the information available to date, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount or the range of potential loss, if any. A decision on the merits of the suit could be rendered sometime in 2013.

Table of Contents

Environmental

The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may presently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 32 such sites. Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.

The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Generally, this is because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not material or the liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.

Based on information available to the Company (which in most cases includes: an estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public companies, will fully pay the cost apportioned to them; currently available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimated remediation and consulting costs; and remediation alternatives), the Company has an accrual for indicated environmental liabilities of $3.9 million at December 31, 2012. The Company expects to pay out substantially all of the amounts accrued for environmental liability over the next five years.

In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities, then unknown to the Company, relating to certain operations of Kuhlman Electric that pre-date the Company's 1999 acquisition of Kuhlman Electric. In 2007 and 2008, lawsuits were filed against Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, on behalf of approximately 340 plaintiffs alleging personal injury relating to alleged environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant. The Company entered into a settlement in July 2010 regarding the personal injury claims of the plaintiffs and those of approximately 2,700 unfiled claimants represented by those plaintiffs' attorneys. In exchange for, among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits and the release of claims by the unfiled claimants, the Company agreed to pay up to $28 million in settlement funds, which was expensed in the second quarter of 2010. The Company paid $13.9 million in November 2010 and made the final payment of $13.9 million in February 2011. Litigation concerning indemnification is pending and the Company may in the future become subject to further legal proceedings.

Product Liability

Like many other industrial companies who have historically operated in the U.S., the Company (or parties the Company is obligated to indemnify) continues to be named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions. We believe that the Company's involvement is limited because, in general, these claims relate to a few types of automotive friction products that were manufactured many years ago and contained encapsulated asbestos. The nature of the fibers, the encapsulation and the manner of use lead the Company to believe that these products are highly unlikely to cause harm. As of both December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately 16,000 pending asbestos-related product liability claims, respectively. Of the approximately 16,000 outstanding claims at December 31, 2012, approximately half were pending in jurisdictions that have undergone significant tort and judicial reform activities subsequent to the filing of these claims.


38
  


Table of Contents

The Company's policy is to vigorously defend against these lawsuits and the Company has been successful in obtaining dismissal of many claims without any payment. The Company expects that the vast majority of the pending asbestos-related product liability claims where it is a defendant (or has an obligation to indemnify a defendant) will result in no payment being made by the Company or its insurers. In 2012, of the approximately 2,400 claims resolved, 308 (13%) resulted in payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In the full year of 2011, of the approximately 1,800 claims resolved, 288 (16%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company.

Prior to June 2004, the settlement and defense costs associated with all claims were paid by the Company's primary layer insurance carriers under a series of funding arrangements. In addition to the primary insurance available for asbestos-related claims, the Company has substantial excess insurance coverage available for potential future asbestos-related product claims. In June 2004, primary layer insurance carriers notified the Company of the alleged exhaustion of their policy limits.

A declaratory judgment action was filed in January 2004 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois by Continental Casualty Company and related companies against the Company and certain of its historical general liability insurers. The court has issued a number of interim rulings and discovery is continuing. The Company has entered into settlement agreements with some of its insurance carriers, resolving their coverage disputes by agreeing to pay specified amounts to the Company. The Company is vigorously pursuing the litigation against the remaining insurers.

On April 5, 2010, the Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division affirmed a lower court judgment in an asbestos-related action against the Company and others. The Company filed its Notice of Petition to the Supreme Court of New Jersey in late April, seeking to appeal the decisions of the lower courts. On July 8, 2010, the Supreme Court of New Jersey denied the Company's Notice of Petition appealing the decision of the lower courts. The total claim of $40.7 million was paid by the Company in July 2010.

Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the state or federal levels, due to the encapsulated nature of the products, the Company's experience in vigorously defending and resolving claims in the past, and the Company's significant insurance coverage with solvent carriers as of the date of this filing, management does not believe that asbestos-related product liability claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

To date, the Company has paid and accrued $235.8 million in defense and indemnity in advance of insurers' reimbursement and has received $124.8 million in cash and notes from insurers. The net balance of $111.0 million, is expected to be fully recovered, of which approximately $20 million is expected to be recovered within one year. Timing of recovery is dependent on final resolution of the declaratory judgment action referred to above or additional negotiated settlements. At December 31, 2011, insurers owed $109.8 million in association with these claims.

In addition to the $111.0 million net balance relating to past settlements and defense costs, the Company has estimated a liability of $85.6 million for claims asserted, but not yet resolved and their related defense costs at December 31, 2012. The Company also has a related asset of $85.6 million to recognize proceeds from the insurance carriers, which is expected to be fully recovered. Receipt of these proceeds is not expected prior to the resolution of the declaratory judgment action referred to above, which, more-likely-than-not, will occur subsequent to December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2011, the comparable value of the accrued liability and associated insurance asset was $61.7 million.

The 2012 increase in the accrued liability and associated insurance asset is primarily due to an expected higher rate of claim settlement based on recent litigation claim activity.

The Company cannot reasonably estimate possible losses, if any, in excess of those for which it has accrued, because it cannot predict how many additional claims may be brought against the Company (or parties the Company has an obligation to indemnify) in the future, the allegations in such claims, the possible outcomes, or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the State or Federal levels.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Some of these policies require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the preparation of the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management makes estimates and assumptions about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our most critical accounting policies are discussed below.

Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the accompanying notes, as well as, the amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the periods covered by these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which is usually upon shipment of product. Although the Company may enter into long-term supply agreements with its major customers, each shipment of goods is treated as a separate sale and the prices are not fixed over the life of the agreements.

Cost of sales The Company includes materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead within cost of sales. Manufacturing overhead is comprised of indirect materials, indirect labor, factory operating costs and other such costs associated with manufacturing products for sale.

Impairment of long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, whether held for use or disposal, including other amortizing intangible assets, when events and circumstances warrant such a review under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 360. A recoverability review is performed using the undiscounted cash flows if there is a triggering event. If the undiscounted cash flow test for recoverability identifies a possible impairment, management will perform a fair value analysis. Management determines fair value under ASC Topic 820 using the appropriate valuation technique of market, income or cost approach. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

Management believes that the estimates of future cash flows and fair value assumptions are reasonable; however, changes in assumptions underlying these estimates could affect the valuations. Long-lived assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Significant judgments and estimates used by management when evaluating long-lived assets for impairment include: (i) an assessment as to whether an adverse event or circumstance has triggered the need for an impairment review; (ii) undiscounted future cash flows generated by the asset; and (iii) fair valuation of the asset.

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets During the fourth quarter of each year, the Company qualitatively assesses its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets assigned to each of its reporting units. This qualitative assessment evaluates various events and circumstances, such as macro economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, relevant events and financial trends, that may impact a reporting unit's fair value. Using this qualitative assessment, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than not the reporting unit's fair value exceeds its carrying value. If it is determined that it is not more-likely-than-not the reporting unit's fair value exceeds the carrying value, or upon a triggering event, including recent acquisition or divestiture activity, the Company performs a quantitative, "step one," goodwill impairment analysis.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company performed a qualitative analysis on each reporting unit and determined it was more-likely-than-not the fair value exceeded the carrying value of these reporting units. For the reporting unit with recent divestiture activity, the Company performed a quantitative, "step one," goodwill impairment analysis, which requires the Company to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, discount rates and growth rates. The basis of this goodwill impairment analysis is the Company's annual budget and long-range plan (“LRP”). The annual budget and LRP includes a five year projection of future cash flows based on actual new products and customer commitments and assumes the last year of the LRP data is a fair indication of the future performance. Because the LRP is estimated over a significant future period of time, those estimates and assumptions are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Further, the market valuation models and other financial ratios used by the Company require certain assumptions and estimates regarding the applicability of those models to the Company's facts and circumstances.

The Company believes the assumptions and estimates used to determine its estimated fair value are reasonable. Different assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value. The primary assumptions affecting the Company's December 31, 2012 goodwill quantitative, "step one," impairment review are as follows:

Discount rate: The Company used a 10% weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) as the discount rate for future cash flows. The WACC is intended to represent a rate of return that would be expected by a market participant.

Operating income margin: The Company used historical and expected operating income margins, which may vary based on the projections the reporting unit being evaluated.


41
  


Table of Contents

In addition to the above primary assumptions, the Company notes the following risks to volume and operating income assumptions that could have an impact on the discounted cash flow model:

The automotive industry is cyclical and the Company's results of operations would be adversely affected by industry downturns.
The Company is dependent on market segments that use our key products and would be affected by decreasing demand in those segments.
The Company is subject to risks related to international operations.

Based on the assumptions outlined above, the impairment testing conducted in the fourth quarter of 2012 indicated the Company's goodwill assigned to the reporting unit that was quantitatively assessed was not impaired. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis was completed indicating a 1% increase in the discount rate or a 1% decrease in the operating margin assumptions would not result in the carrying value exceeding the fair value of the reporting unit quantitatively assessed.

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding goodwill.

Product warranties The Company provides warranties on some, but not all, of its products. The warranty terms are typically from one to three years. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claim settlements as well as product manufacturing and industry developments and recoveries from third parties. Management actively studies trends of warranty claims and takes action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. Management believes that the warranty accrual is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the accrual. Our warranty provision over the last three years, and as a percentage of net sales, has continued to decrease in conjunction with Company's improved quality efforts and has trended as follows:

See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding product warranties.

Other loss accruals and valuation allowances The Company has numerous other loss exposures, such as customer claims, workers' compensation claims, litigation and recoverability of assets. Establishing loss accruals or valuation allowances for these matters requires the use of estimates and judgment in regard to the risk exposure and ultimate realization. The Company estimates losses under the programs using consistent and appropriate methods; however, changes to its assumptions could materially affect the recorded accrued liabilities for loss or asset valuation allowances.

Environmental contingencies The Company works with outside experts to determine a range of potential liability for environmental sites. The ranges for each individual site are then aggregated into a loss range for the total accrued liability. We record an accrual at the most probable amount within the range unless one cannot be determined; in which case we record the accrual at the low end of the range. Management's estimate of the loss for environmental liability was $3.9 million at December 31, 2012.

See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding environmental accrual.

Pension and other postretirement defined benefits The Company provides postretirement defined benefits to a number of its current and former employees. Costs associated with postretirement defined benefits include pension and postretirement health care expenses for employees, retirees and surviving spouses and dependents.

The Company's defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 715. The determination of the Company's obligation and expense for its pension and other postretirement benefits, such as retiree health care, is dependent on certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Certain assumptions, including the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, discount rate, rates of increase in compensation and health care costs trends are described in Note 11, “Retirement Benefit Plans,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The effects of any modification to those assumptions are either recognized immediately or amortized over future periods in accordance with GAAP.

In accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from assumptions used are accumulated and generally amortized over future periods. The primary assumptions affecting the Company's accounting for employee benefits under ASC Topics 712 and 715 as of December 31, 2012 are as follows:

Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets: The expected long-term rate of return is used in the calculation of net periodic benefit cost. The required use of the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets may result in recognized returns that are greater or less than the actual returns on those plan assets in any given year. Over time, however, the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is designed to approximate actual earned long-term returns. The expected long-term rate of return for pension assets has been determined based on various inputs, including historical returns for the different asset classes held by the Company's trusts and its asset allocation, as well as inputs from internal and external sources regarding expected capital market return, inflation and other variables. The Company also considers the impact of active management of the plans' invested assets. In determining its pension expense for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company used long-term rates of return on plan assets ranging from 1.75% to 6.75% outside of the U.S. and 6.75% in the U.S.

43
  


Table of Contents


Actual returns on U.S. pension assets were 11.0%, 3.7% and 14.6% for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, compared to the expected rate of return assumption of 6.75% for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 7.50% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Actual returns on U.K. pension assets were 10.0%, 3.3% and 13.3% for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, compared to the expected rate of return assumption of 6.75% for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 7.50% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Discount rate: The discount rate is used to calculate pension and postretirement employee benefit obligations (“OPEB”). The discount rate assumption is based on a constant effective yield from matching projected plan cash flows to high quality (Aa) bond yields of corresponding maturities as of the measurement date. The Company used discount rates ranging from 1.75% to 6.75% to determine its pension and other benefit obligations as of December 31, 2012, including weighted average discount rates of 3.67% in the U.S., 3.86% outside of the U.S., and 3.25% for U.S. other postretirement health care plans. The U.S. discount rate reflects the fact that our U.S. pension plan has been closed for new participants since 1989 (1999 for our U.S. health care plan), and with the closing of our Muncie facility in 2009, there will be negligible service cost going forward.

Health care cost trend: For postretirement employee health care plan accounting, the Company reviews external data and Company specific historical trends for health care cost to determine the health care cost trend rate assumptions. In determining the projected benefit obligation for postretirement employee health care plans as of December 31, 2012, the Company used health care cost trend rates of 7.50%, declining to an ultimate trend rate of 5% by the year 2019.

While the Company believes that these assumptions are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the Company's pension and other postretirement employee benefit obligations and its future expense.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a change in certain assumptions for Company sponsored U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans on its 2013 pre-tax pension expense:

(millions of dollars)

Income taxes  The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets. In calculating the provision for income taxes on an interim basis, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at each interim period. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial performance of the operation recording the net deferred tax asset is considered along with any other pertinent information. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowance may be necessary.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. at the federal and state level and numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is less than certain. Accruals for income tax contingencies are provided for in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 605. The Company’s U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns and certain non-U.S. income tax returns are currently under various stages of audit by applicable tax authorities. Although the outcome of ongoing tax audits is always uncertain, management believes that it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns and that its annual tax provisions included amounts sufficient to pay assessments, if any, which may be proposed by the taxing authorities. At December 31, 2012, the Company has recorded a liability for its best estimate of the more likely than not loss on certain of its tax positions, which is included in other non-current liabilities. Nonetheless, the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year.

See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding income taxes.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income," requiring companies to disclose the income statement line items impacted by the reclassification of comprehensive income (loss) into net earnings. This guidance is effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2011, the FASB amended ASC Topic 210, "Balance Sheet," requiring companies to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This guidance is effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We are also affected by changes in the prices of commodities used or consumed in our manufacturing operations. Some of our commodity purchase price risk is covered by supply agreements with customers and suppliers. Other commodity purchase price risk is addressed by hedging strategies, which include forward contracts. The Company enters into derivative instruments only with high credit quality counterparties and diversifies its positions across such counterparties in order to reduce its exposure to credit losses. We do not engage in any derivative instruments for purposes other than hedging specific operating risks.

We have established policies and procedures to manage sensitivity to interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate and commodity purchase price risk, which include monitoring the level of exposure to each market risk. For quantitative disclosures about market risk, please refer to Note 10, "Financial Instruments," to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for information with respect to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in interest rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing its exposure to fixed and variable rates while attempting to minimize its interest costs. The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market value risk associated with changes in interest rates (fair value hedges). At December 31, 2012, the amount of debt with fixed interest rates was 43.5% of total debt, including the impact of the interest rate swaps. Our earnings exposure related to adverse movements in interest rates is primarily derived from outstanding floating rate debt instruments that are indexed to floating money market rates. A 10% increase or decrease in the average cost of our variable rate debt would result in a change in pre-tax interest expense of approximately $1.6 million, $1.8 million and $1.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Currently, our most significant currency exposures relate to the British Pound, the Chinese Yuan, the Euro, the Hungarian Forint, the Japanese Yen, the Swedish Krona and the South Korean Won. We mitigate our foreign currency exchange rate risk by establishing local production facilities and related supply chain participants in the markets we serve, by invoicing customers in the same currency as the source of the products and by funding some of our investments in foreign markets through local currency loans and cross currency swaps. Such non-U.S. Dollar debt was $258.3 million and $280.4 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We also monitor our foreign currency exposure in each country and implement strategies to respond to changing economic and political environments. In addition, the Company periodically enters into forward currency contracts in order to reduce exposure to exchange rate risk related to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was holding foreign exchange derivatives with positive and negative fair market values of $5.9 million and $9.8 million, respectively, of which $5.2 million in gains and $9.8 million in losses mature in less than one year.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk is the possibility that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in the cost of raw materials used in the production of our products. Commodity forward and option contracts are executed to offset our exposure to the potential change in prices mainly for various non-ferrous metals and natural gas consumption used in the manufacturing of vehicle components. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had no forward and option commodity contracts outstanding.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The matters discussed in this Item 7 include forward looking statements. See "Forward Looking Statements" at the beginning of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The information in this report is the responsibility of management. BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the “Company”) has in place reporting guidelines and policies designed to ensure that the statements and other information contained in this report present a fair and accurate financial picture of the Company. In fulfilling this management responsibility, we make informed judgments and estimates conforming with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm.

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The internal control process includes those policies and procedures that:
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, the Company's management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework.

Based on management's assessment and those criteria, we believe that, as of December 31, 2012, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the Company's consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 as stated in their report.

The Company's Audit Committee, composed entirely of directors of the Company who are not employees, meets periodically with the Company's management and independent registered public accounting firm to review financial results and procedures, internal financial controls and internal and external audit plans and recommendations. In carrying out these responsibilities, the Audit Committee and the independent registered public accounting firm have unrestricted access to each other with or without the presence of management representatives.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of BorgWarner Inc.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BorgWarner Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INTRODUCTION

BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a leading global supplier of highly engineered automotive systems and components primarily for powertrain applications. Our products help improve vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, stability and air quality. These products are manufactured and sold worldwide, primarily to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of light vehicles (passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles ("SUVs"), vans and light trucks). The Company's products are also sold to other OEMs of commercial vehicles (medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks and buses) and off-highway vehicles (agricultural and construction machinery and marine applications). We also manufacture and sell our products to certain Tier One vehicle systems suppliers and into the aftermarket for light, commercial and off-highway vehicles. The Company operates manufacturing facilities serving customers in the Americas, Europe and Asia and is an original equipment supplier to every major automotive OEM in the world. The Company's products fall into two reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain.

NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following paragraphs briefly describe the Company's significant accounting policies.

Basis of presentation The Company retrospectively adopted the amendment to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income," which requires companies to separately disclose reclassifications from other comprehensive income into net income on the face of the financial statements. Prior year balances within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income conform to this requirement.

Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the accompanying notes, as well as, the amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the periods covered by these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of risk Cash is maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal risk.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its suppliers and customers and, with the exception of certain financing transactions, does not require collateral from its OEM customers. Some automotive parts suppliers continue to experience commodity cost pressures and the effects of industry overcapacity. These factors have increased pressure on the industry's supply base, as suppliers cope with higher commodity costs, lower production volumes and other challenges. The Company receives certain of its raw materials from sole suppliers or a limited number of suppliers. The inability of a supplier to fulfill supply requirements of the Company could materially affect future operating results.

Principles of consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include all majority-owned subsidiaries with a controlling financial interest. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in 20% to 50% owned affiliates are accounted for under the equity method when the Company does not have a controlling financial interest.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)


Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which is usually upon shipment of product. Although the Company may enter into long-term supply agreements with its major customers, each shipment of goods is treated as a separate sale and the prices are not fixed over the life of the agreements.

Cost of sales The Company includes materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead within cost of sales. Manufacturing overhead is comprised of indirect materials, indirect labor, factory operating costs and other such costs associated with manufacturing products for sale.

Cash Cash is valued at fair market value. It is the Company's policy to classify all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash.

Receivables, net The Company securitizes certain receivables through third party financial institutions without recourse and continues to administer the collection of these receivables on behalf of the third party. The amount can vary each month based on the amount of underlying receivables. On December 21, 2009, the Company entered into a $50 million accounts receivable securitization facility, which was amended on September 8, 2010 to increase the facility to $80 million and then again on November 1, 2012 to increase the facility to $110 million. The amended facility matures on October 31, 2014.

Inventories, net Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost of U.S. inventories is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method, while the foreign operations use the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average-cost methods. Inventory held by U.S. operations was $102.1 million and $100.6 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Such inventories, if valued at current cost instead of LIFO, would have been greater by $16.0 million and $15.3 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on inventories, net.

Pre-production costs related to long-term supply arrangements Engineering, research and development and other design and development costs for products sold on long-term supply arrangements are expensed as incurred unless the Company has a contractual guarantee for reimbursement from the customer. Costs for molds, dies and other tools used to make products sold on long-term supply arrangements for which the Company either has title to the assets or has the non-cancelable right to use the assets during the term of the supply arrangement are capitalized in property, plant and equipment and amortized to cost of sales over the shorter of the term of the arrangement or over the estimated useful lives of the assets, typically 3 to 5 years. Costs for molds, dies and other tools used to make products sold on long-term supply arrangements for which the Company has a contractual guarantee for lump sum reimbursement from the customer are capitalized in prepayments and other current assets.

Property, plant and equipment, net Property, plant and equipment is valued at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and renewals of relatively minor items are generally charged to expense as incurred. Renewals of significant items are capitalized. Depreciation is generally computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Useful lives for buildings range from 15 to 40 years and useful lives for machinery and equipment range from three to 12 years. For income tax purposes, accelerated methods of depreciation are generally used.

Impairment of long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, whether held for use or disposal, including other amortizing intangible assets, when events and circumstances warrant such a review under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 360. A recoverability review is performed using the undiscounted cash flows if there is a triggering event. If the undiscounted cash flow test for recoverability identifies a possible impairment, management will perform a fair value analysis. Management determines fair value under ASC Topic 820 using the appropriate valuation technique of market, income or cost approach. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

Management believes that the estimates of future cash flows and fair value assumptions are reasonable; however, changes in assumptions underlying these estimates could affect the valuations. Long-lived assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Significant judgments and estimates used by management when evaluating long-lived assets for impairment include: (i) an assessment as to whether an adverse event or circumstance has triggered the need for an impairment review; (ii) undiscounted future cash flows generated by the asset; and (iii) fair valuation of the asset.

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets During the fourth quarter of each year, the Company qualitatively assesses its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets assigned to each of its reporting units. This qualitative assessment evaluates various events and circumstances, such as macro economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, relevant events and financial trends, that may impact a reporting unit's fair value. Using this qualitative assessment, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than not the reporting unit's fair value exceeds its carrying value. If it is determined that it is not more-likely-than-not the reporting unit's fair value exceeds the carrying value, or upon a triggering event, including recent acquisition or divestiture activity, the Company performs a quantitative, "step one," goodwill impairment analysis.
  
See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Product warranties The Company provides warranties on some, but not all, of its products. The warranty terms are typically from one to three years. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claim settlements as well as product manufacturing and industry developments and recoveries from third parties. Management actively studies trends of warranty claims and takes action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. Management believes that the warranty accrual is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the accrual. The product warranty accrual is allocated to current and non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on product warranties.

Other loss accruals and valuation allowances The Company has numerous other loss exposures, such as customer claims, workers' compensation claims, litigation and recoverability of assets. Establishing loss accruals or valuation allowances for these matters requires the use of estimates and judgment in regard to the risk exposure and ultimate realization. The Company estimates losses under the programs using consistent and appropriate methods, however, changes to its assumptions could materially affect the recorded accrued liabilities for loss or asset valuation allowances.

Derivative financial instruments The Company recognizes that certain normal business transactions generate risk. Examples of risks include exposure to exchange rate risk related to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, changes in commodity costs and interest rates. It is the objective and responsibility of the Company to assess the impact of these transaction risks and offer protection from selected risks through various methods, including financial derivatives. Virtually all derivative instruments held by the Company are designated as hedges, have high correlation with the underlying exposure and are highly effective in offsetting underlying price movements. Accordingly, gains and losses from changes in qualifying hedge fair values are matched with the underlying transactions. All hedge instruments are carried at their fair value based on quoted market prices for contracts with similar maturities. The Company does not engage in any derivative transactions for purposes other than hedging specific risks.

See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on derivative financial instruments.

Foreign currency The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the period-end exchange rate for assets and liabilities and an average exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses and capital expenditures. The local currency is the functional currency for substantially all of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. Translation adjustments for foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in equity. The Company recognizes transaction gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency in earnings as incurred.

See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Environmental contingencies  The Company accounts for environmental costs in accordance with ASC Topic 450. Costs related to environmental assessments and remediation efforts at operating facilities are accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of that liability can be reasonably estimated. Estimated costs are recorded at undiscounted amounts, based on experience and assessments and are regularly evaluated. The liabilities are recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding environmental contingencies.

Pensions and other postretirement employee defined benefits  The Company's defined benefit pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 715. Disability, early retirement and other postretirement employee benefits are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 712.

Pensions and other postretirement employee benefit costs and related liabilities and assets are dependent upon assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, health care cost trends, compensation and other factors. In accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions used are accumulated and amortized over future periods, and accordingly, generally affect recognized expense in future periods.

See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the Company's pension and other postretirement employee defined benefit plans.

Income taxes  In accordance with ASC Topic 740, the Company's income tax expense is calculated based on expected income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates and requires the use of management's estimates and judgments.

See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding income taxes.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In November 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income," requiring companies to disclose the income statement line items impacted by the reclassification of comprehensive income (loss) into net earnings. This guidance is effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2011, the FASB amended ASC Topic 210, "Balance Sheet," requiring companies to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This guidance is effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Company's net Research & Development ("R&D") expenditures are included in selling, general and administrative expenses of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Customer reimbursements are netted against gross R&D expenditures as they are considered a recovery of cost. Customer reimbursements for prototypes are recorded net of prototype costs based on customer contracts, typically either when the prototype is shipped or when it is accepted by the customer. Customer reimbursements for engineering services are recorded when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with the contract and accepted by the customer. Financial risks and rewards transfer upon shipment, acceptance of a prototype component by the customer or upon completion of the performance obligation as stated in the respective customer agreement.

The following table presents the Company’s gross and net expenditures on R&D activities:

During the second and third quarters of 2012, the Company incurred $39.7 million in expense associated with the loss on sale of the spark plug business, primarily related to the to write-down of prior purchase price accounting adjustments included within the disposal group. These purchase price accounting adjustments were originally reported in the Engine segment and related to the BERU acquisition. The Company also recorded restructuring expense of $27.4 million in the third quarter of 2012 primarily associated with the disposal and future requirements of BERU's on-going business, which included $9.0 million of employee termination benefits, $6.3 million of contract cancellation costs and $12.1 million of other charges, primarily related to the write-down of certain assets. The Company expects to pay all employee termination benefits in the next 12 months.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded retirement related obligations of $17.3 million comprised of a $5.7 million loss resulting from the settlement of a portion of the Muncie Plant's pension obligation and an $11.6 million expense associated with the retirement of certain Named Executive Officers.

On May 16, 2011, BorgWarner and Honeywell settled a lawsuit resolving BorgWarner's patent infringement claims. As a result of the settlement, Honeywell paid $32.5 million for a paid up license to use the asserted BorgWarner patents. During 2011, the Company incurred $3.4 million in legal costs related to this lawsuit and after deducting these costs, the Company recorded a net gain of $29.1 million.

The Company's provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes a net tax benefit of $2.0 million associated with the loss from disposal activities and restructuring expense. The $2.0 million net benefit is comprised of a tax benefit of $7.7 million associated with restructuring expense, partially offset by tax expense of $5.7 million resulting from the sale of the spark plug business. The provision also includes additional tax expense of $19.8 million resulting from other tax adjustments. These other tax adjustments include $5.9 million of tax expense primarily resulting from the settlement of certain tax audits, $7.5 million of tax expense associated with the Company's second quarter 2012 decision to change its cash repatriation assertion for some of its foreign subsidiaries, $4.7 million of tax benefit related to certain countries enacting changes to their respective statutory income tax rates and $11.1 million of U.S. tax expense to correct the income taxes payable balance. The Company concluded this item was not material to the current or prior period financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The Company's provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes $11.0 million of tax expense associated with the Company's patent infringement settlement, $2.7 million of tax expense associated with the loss from disposal activities and a tax benefit of $6.2 million resulting from other tax adjustments. These other tax adjustments related to a change in state corporate income tax legislation as well as an adjustment of the Company's tax accounts as a result of the closure of certain tax audits. During 2011, several countries enacted changes to their respective statutory income tax rates. None of these changes had a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate.

The Company's provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes a favorable impact of $21.2 million related to the reversal of the Company's valuation allowance on U.S. based foreign tax credit carryforwards, the impact of the change in tax legislation related to Medicare Part D subsidies of $2.9 million, additional tax expense of $2.3 million associated with the BERU - Eichenauer equity investment gain and the tax benefit of $9.8 million associated with the Company's environmental litigation settlement.

A roll forward of the Company's total gross unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, is presented below. Of the total $25.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012, approximately $23.4 million of the total represents the amount, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective income tax rate in future periods. This amount differs from the gross unrecognized tax benefits presented in the table due to the decrease in the U.S. federal income taxes which would occur upon recognition of the state tax benefits included therein.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The amount recognized in income tax expense for 2012 and 2011 is $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The Company has an accrual of approximately $8.3 million and $7.8 million for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Included in the $25.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits is $18.5 million for the settlement of audits and resulting amended returns in certain foreign jurisdictions, most of which the Company expects to pay in the first quarter of 2013. Possible changes within the next 12 months related to other examinations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The Company and/or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state jurisdictions and various foreign jurisdictions.

*Current and non-current assets and liabilities have been netted within their respective taxing jurisdictions.

Deferred income taxes - current assets are primarily comprised of amounts from the U.S., China, France, Italy, Japan, Mexico and South Korea. Deferred income taxes - current liabilities are primarily comprised of amounts from the U.K. Other non-current assets are primarily comprised of amounts from the U.S., China and Japan. Other non-current liabilities are primarily comprised of amounts from Germany, Sweden and the U.K.

At December 31, 2012, certain non-U.S. subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards totaling $42.4 million available to offset future taxable income. Of the total $42.4 million, $35.4 million expire at various dates from 2013 through 2032 and the remaining $7.0 million have no expiration date. The Company has a valuation allowance of $0.7 million recorded on $2.5 million of non-U.S net operating loss carryforwards. Certain U.S. subsidiaries have state net operating loss carryforwards totaling $490.7 million which are completely offset by a valuation allowance due to risk of realization. Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries located in China, Korea and Poland have tax exemptions or tax holidays, which reduced tax expense approximately $26.7 million and $21.8 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Most existing tax holidays remain in effect during 2013. The U.S. has foreign tax credit carryforwards of $146.1 million, which expire at various dates from 2015 through 2020.

The Company is not required to provide U.S. federal or state income taxes on cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries when such earnings are considered permanently reinvested. At December 31, 2011, the Company considered most of its foreign unremitted earnings to be permanently reinvested. The Company's policy is to evaluate this assertion on a quarterly basis. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company changed the assertion for some of its foreign subsidiaries to provide management additional financial flexibility.

At December 31, 2012, the Company's deferred tax liability associated with unremitted foreign earnings was $13.4 million, which includes the $7.5 million of tax expense associated with the second quarter 2012 decision to change its cash repatriation assertion for some of its foreign subsidiaries and $5.9 million of tax expense associated with unremitted foreign earnings during the current year.

The Company has not recorded deferred income taxes on the difference between the book and tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries or foreign equity affiliates totaling approximately $2.1 billion in 2012, as these amounts are essentially permanent in nature. The difference will become taxable upon repatriation of assets, sale or liquidation of the investment. Due to fluctuation in tax laws around the world and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, it is not practicable to determine the unrecognized deferred tax liability on this difference because the actual tax liability, if any, is dependent on circumstances existing when the repatriation occurs.

NOTE 6
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

During the fourth quarter of each year, the Company qualitatively assesses its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets assigned to each of its reporting units. This qualitative assessment evaluates various events and circumstances, such as macro economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, relevant events and financial trends, that may impact a reporting unit's fair value. Using this qualitative assessment, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than not the reporting unit's fair value exceeds its carrying value. If it is determined that it is not more-likely-than-not the reporting unit's fair value exceeds the carrying value, or upon a triggering event, including recent acquisition or divestiture activity, the Company performs a quantitative, "step one," goodwill impairment analysis.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company performed a qualitative analysis on each reporting unit and determined it was more-likely-than-not the fair value exceeded the carrying value of these reporting units. For the reporting unit with recent divestiture activity, the Company performed a quantitative, "step one," goodwill impairment analysis, which requires the Company to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, discount rates and growth rates. The basis of

68
  


Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

this goodwill impairment analysis is the Company's annual budget and long-range plan (“LRP”). The annual budget and LRP includes a five year projection of future cash flows based on actual new products and customer commitments and assumes the last year of the LRP data is a fair indication of the future performance. Because the LRP is estimated over a significant future period of time, those estimates and assumptions are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Further, the market valuation models and other financial ratios used by the Company require certain assumptions and estimates regarding the applicability of those models to the Company's facts and circumstances.

The Company believes the assumptions and estimates used to determine its estimated fair value are reasonable. Different assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value. The primary assumptions affecting the Company's December 31, 2012 goodwill quantitative, "step one," impairment review are as follows:

Discount rate: The Company used a 10% weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) as the discount rate for future cash flows. The WACC is intended to represent a rate of return that would be expected by a market participant.

Operating income margin: The Company used historical and expected operating income margins, which may vary based on the projections of the reporting unit being evaluated.

In addition to the above primary assumptions, the Company notes the following risks to volume and operating income assumptions that could have an impact on the discounted cash flow model:

The automotive industry is cyclical and the Company's results of operations would be adversely affected by industry downturns.
The Company is dependent on market segments that use our key products and would be affected by decreasing demand in those segments.
The Company is subject to risks related to international operations.

Based on the assumptions outlined above, the impairment testing conducted in the fourth quarter of 2012 indicated the Company's goodwill assigned to the reporting unit quantitatively assessed was not impaired. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis was completed indicating a 1% increase in the discount rate or a 1% decrease in the operating margin assumptions would not result in the carrying value exceeding the fair value of the reporting unit quantitatively assessed.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The Company's $650 million multi-currency revolving credit facility, which includes a feature that allows the Company's borrowings to be increased to $1 billion, provides for borrowings through June 30, 2016 and is guaranteed by the Company's material domestic subsidiaries. The Company has two key financial covenants as part of the credit agreement. These covenants are a debt compared to EBITDA (“Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization”) test and an interest coverage test. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2012 and expects to remain compliant in future periods. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $140.0 million and $70.0 million, respectively, under this facility.

On April 9, 2009, the Company issued $373.8 million in convertible senior notes, which were settled in April 2012 by delivering approximately 11.4 million shares of common stock held in treasury to the note holders. The settlement resulted in a reduction in the current portion of long-term debt of $373.8 million, a reduction in common stock held in treasury of $617.3 million and a reduction in capital in excess of par value of $243.5 million. Prior to the settlement, the Company accreted the discounted carrying value of the convertible notes to their face value over the term of the notes.

The total interest expense related to the convertible senior notes in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

In conjunction with the convertible senior note offering, the Company entered into a bond hedge overlay, including both call options and warrants, at a net pre-tax cost of $25.2 million, effectively raising the conversion premium to 50%, or approximately $38.61 per share. On April 16, 2012, the Company settled the call option portion of the bond hedge overlay, receiving approximately 6.5 million shares of its common stock. The settlement resulted in an increase to common stock held in treasury of $503.9 million offset by an increase to capital in excess of par value of $503.9 million.

During the third and fourth quarters of 2012, the Company settled the warrants included in the bond hedge overlay, delivering approximately 4.9 million shares of its common stock held in treasury, resulting in a decrease to common stock held in treasury of $338.5 million offset by a decrease to capital in excess of par value of $338.5 million.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the estimated fair values of the Company's senior unsecured notes totaled $770.3 million and $1,454.4 million, respectively. The estimated fair values were $119.5 million and $435.5 million higher than their carrying value at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Fair market values of the senior unsecured notes are developed using observable values for similar debt instruments, which are considered Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC Topic 820. The carrying value of the Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility is equal to its fair value. The fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the current markets.

The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $59.1 million and $58.5 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The letters of credit typically act as guarantees of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.

NOTE 9 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC Topic 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as follows:

Level 1:
Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2:
Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC Topic 820:

A.
Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business.
B.
Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
C.
Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).

NOTE 10
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and marketable securities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, their book value approximates their fair value. The Company’s financial instruments also include long-term debt, interest rate and cross-currency swaps, commodity derivative contracts and foreign currency derivatives. All derivative contracts are placed with counterparties that have an S&P, or equivalent, investment grade credit rating at the time of the contracts’ placement. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no derivative contracts that contained credit risk related contingent features.

The Company selectively uses cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency exposure associated with our net investment in certain foreign operations (net investment hedges). At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the following cross-currency swaps were outstanding:

The Company uses certain commodity derivative contracts to protect against commodity price changes related to forecasted raw material and supplies purchases. The Company primarily utilizes forward and option contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company did not have any commodity derivative contracts outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to protect against exchange rate movements for forecasted cash flows, including capital expenditures, purchases, operating expenses or sales transactions designated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit. Foreign currency derivative contracts require the Company, at a future date, to either buy or sell foreign currency in exchange for the operating units’ local currency. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the following foreign currency derivative contracts were outstanding:

Effectiveness for cash flow and net investment hedges is assessed at the inception of the hedging relationship and quarterly, thereafter. To the extent that derivative instruments are deemed to be effective, gains and losses arising from these contracts are deferred into accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and reclassified into income as the underlying operating transactions are recognized. These realized gains or losses offset the hedged transaction and are recorded on the same line in the statement of operations. To the extent that derivative instruments are deemed to be ineffective, gains or losses are recognized into income.

The table below shows deferred gains (losses) reported in AOCI as well as the amount expected to be reclassified to income in one year or less. The amount expected to be reclassified to income in one year or less assumes no change in the current relationship of the hedged item at December 31, 2012 market rates.

NOTE 11
RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors various defined contribution savings plans, primarily in the U.S., that allow employees to contribute a portion of their pre-tax and/or after-tax income in accordance with plan specified guidelines. Under specified conditions, the Company will make contributions to the plans and/or match a percentage of the employee contributions up to certain limits. Total expense related to the defined contribution plans was $24.8 million, $18.9 million and $19.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company has a number of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans covering eligible salaried and hourly employees and their dependents. The defined pension benefits provided are primarily based on (i) years of service and (ii) average compensation or a monthly retirement benefit amount. The Company provides defined benefit pension plans in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Monaco, South Korea, Sweden, U.K. and U.S. The other postretirement benefit plans, which provide medical and life insurance benefits, are unfunded plans. All pension and other postretirement benefit plans in the U.S. have been closed to new employees since 1999. The measurement date for all plans is December 31.

On February 26, 2009, the Company's subsidiary BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products Inc. ("DTP"), entered into a Plant Shutdown Agreement with the United Auto Workers ("UAW") for its Muncie, Indiana automotive component plant (the "Muncie Plant"). Management subsequently wound-down production activity at the plant, with operations effectively ceased as of March 31, 2009. The Plant Shutdown Agreement included terms allowing for lump sum payment of the pension obligation for certain participants if funding of the plan exceeded a defined level. In accordance with these terms, in December 2012, the Company settled a portion of the pension obligation resulting in a non-cash loss of $5.7 million, which was recorded in other (income) expense within the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

On March 24, 2010, the Company finalized its settlement agreement regarding the closure of the Muncie Plant with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") in which the Company agreed to make certain payments directly to the Muncie Plant's defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”). In accordance with the settlement agreement, the Company made an initial cash contribution of $23 million for the 2009 Plan year and a cash contribution of $15 million in the year ended December 31, 2011. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company received notification from the PBGC that the terms of the settlement have been suspended pending review of the Company's financial strength under the PBGC's revised enforcement policy pilot program announced on November 2, 2012. The evaluation was confirmed in January 2013 and as a result the Company currently does not have any obligations as described in the original agreement.

The following table summarizes the expenses for the Company's defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans and the other postretirement defined benefit plans.

The Company's investment strategy is to maintain actual asset weightings within a preset range of target allocations. The Company believes these ranges represent an appropriate risk profile for the planned benefit payments of the plans based on the timing of the estimated benefit payments. Within each asset category, separate portfolios are maintained for additional diversification. Investment managers are retained within each asset category to manage each portfolio against its benchmark. Each investment manager has appropriate investment guidelines. In addition, the entire portfolio is evaluated against a relevant peer group. The defined benefit pension plans did not hold any Company securities as investments as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. A portion of pension assets are invested in common and comingled trusts.

The Company expects to contribute a total of $15 million to $25 million into its defined benefit pension plans during 2013. Of the $15 million to $25 million in projected 2013 contributions, $7.1 million are contractually obligated, while the remaining payments are discretionary.

Refer to Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements," for more detail surrounding the fair value of each major category of plan assets as well as the inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the fair value measurements of the plans' assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Company's approach to establishing the discount rate is based upon the market yields of high-quality corporate bonds, with appropriate consideration of each plan's defined benefit payment terms and duration of the liabilities.

The Company determines its expected return on plan asset assumptions by evaluating estimates of future market returns and the plans' asset allocation. The Company also considers the impact of active management of the plans' invested assets.

NOTE 12
STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

Under the Company's 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (“1993 Plan”), the Company granted options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at the fair market value on the date of grant. The options vested over periods up to three years and have a term of 10 years from date of grant. As of December 31, 2003, there were no options available for future grants under the 1993 Plan. The 1993 Plan expired at the end of 2003 and was replaced by the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, which was amended at the Company's 2009 Annual Stockholders Meeting, among other things, to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan. Under the BorgWarner Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Stock Incentive Plan”), 12.5 million shares are authorized for grant, of which approximately 1.9 million shares are available for future issuance.

Restricted Stock At its November 2007 meeting, the Company's Compensation Committee decided that restricted common stock awards and stock units ("restricted stock") would be awarded in place of stock options for long-term incentive award grants to employees. Restricted stock granted to employees vests 50% after two years and the remainder after three years from the date of grant. Restricted stock granted to non-employee directors generally vests on the anniversary date of the grant.

The value of restricted stock is determined by the market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. In 2012, restricted stock in the amount of 328,138 and 9,677 shares was granted to employees and non-employee directors, respectively, under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.The value of the awards is recorded as unearned compensation within capital in excess of par value in equity and is amortized as compensation expense over the restriction periods.

Performance Share Plans The 2004 Stock Incentive Plan provides for awarding of performance shares to members of senior management at the end of successive three-year periods based on the Company's performance in terms of total shareholder return relative to a peer group of automotive companies. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company modified all outstanding Performance Share Award Agreements to allow for the payment of these awards entirely in the Company's common stock, rather than 40% in cash and 60% in the Company's common stock. Using the lattice model (Monte Carlo simulation) at the date of modification, the Company determined the first quarter 2012 compensation expense associated with the modification to be negligible. Within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company's $19.6 million and $16.6 million of expense associated with the 40% cash portion of the award was included in the changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other non-current assets and liabilities line items.

The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to its performance share plans ratably over the performance period. Prior to the modification, compensation expense for the 60% stock component was based on the performance share's fair value at the date of grant using a lattice model (Monte Carlo simulation) and the 40% cash component was based on quarterly mark to market of the cash liability on a quarterly basis. After the first quarter 2012 modification, 100% of compensation expense associated with the performance share plans is calculated using a lattice model (Monte Carlo simulation). The amounts expensed under the plan and the share issuances for the three-year measurement periods ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

The Company recorded this expense within other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

NOTE 13
CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims, general liability and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. The Company's environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. The Company's management does not expect that the results in any of these commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Litigation

In January 2006, BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products Inc. ("DTP"), a subsidiary of the Company, filed a declaratory judgment action in United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana (Indianapolis Division) against the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implements Workers of America (“UAW”) Local No. 287 and Gerald Poor, individually and as the representative of a defendant class. DTP sought the Court's affirmation that DTP did not violate the Labor-Management Relations Act or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by unilaterally amending certain medical plans effective April 1, 2006 and October 1, 2006, prior to the expiration of the then-current collective bargaining agreements. On September 10, 2008, the Court found that DTP's reservation of the right to make such amendments reducing the level of benefits provided to retirees was limited by its collectively bargained health insurance agreement with the UAW, which did not expire until April 24, 2009. Thus, the amendments were untimely. In 2008, the Company recorded a charge of $4.0 million as a result of the Court's decision.

DTP filed a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana (Indianapolis Division) against the UAW Local No. 287 and Jim Barrett and others, individually and as representatives of a defendant class, on February 26, 2009 again seeking the Court's affirmation that DTP did not violate the Labor - Management Relations Act or ERISA by modifying the level of benefits provided retirees to make them comparable to other Company retiree benefit plans after April 24, 2009. Certain retirees, on behalf of themselves and others, filed a mirror-image action in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan (Southern Division) on March 11, 2009, for which a class has been certified. During the last quarter of 2009, the action pending in Indiana was dismissed, while the action in Michigan is continuing. The Company is vigorously defending against the suit.  This contingency is subject to many uncertainties, therefore based on the information available to date, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount or the range of potential loss, if any. A decision on the merits of the suit could be rendered sometime in 2013.

Environmental

The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may presently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 32 such sites. Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.

The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Generally, this is because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not material or the liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.

Based on information available to the Company (which in most cases includes: an estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public companies, will fully pay the cost apportioned to them; currently available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimated remediation and consulting costs; and remediation alternatives), the Company has an accrual for indicated environmental liabilities of $3.9 million at December 31, 2012. The Company expects to pay out substantially all of the amounts accrued for environmental liability over the next five years.

In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities, then unknown to the Company, relating to certain operations of Kuhlman Electric that pre-date the Company's 1999 acquisition of Kuhlman Electric. In 2007 and 2008, lawsuits were filed against Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, on behalf of approximately 340 plaintiffs alleging personal injury relating to alleged environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant. The Company entered into a settlement in July 2010 regarding the personal injury claims of the plaintiffs and those of approximately 2,700 unfiled claimants represented by those plaintiffs' attorneys. In exchange for, among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits and the release of claims by the unfiled claimants, the Company agreed to pay up to $28 million in settlement funds, which was expensed in the second quarter of 2010. The Company paid $13.9 million in November 2010 and made the final payment of $13.9 million in February 2011. Litigation concerning indemnification is pending and the Company may in the future become subject to further legal proceedings.

Product Liability

Like many other industrial companies who have historically operated in the U.S., the Company (or parties the Company is obligated to indemnify) continues to be named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions. We believe that the Company's involvement is limited because, in general, these claims relate to a few types of automotive friction products that were manufactured many years ago and contained encapsulated asbestos. The nature of the fibers, the encapsulation and the manner of use lead the Company to believe that these products are highly unlikely to cause harm. As of both December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately 16,000 pending asbestos-related product liability claims, respectively. Of the approximately 16,000 outstanding claims at December 31, 2012, approximately half were pending in jurisdictions that have undergone significant tort and judicial reform activities subsequent to the filing of these claims.

The Company's policy is to vigorously defend against these lawsuits and the Company has been successful in obtaining dismissal of many claims without any payment. The Company expects that the vast majority of the pending asbestos-related product liability claims where it is a defendant (or has an obligation to indemnify a defendant) will result in no payment being made by the Company or its insurers. In 2012, of

86
  


Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

the approximately 2,400 claims resolved, 308 (13%) resulted in payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In the full year of 2011, of the approximately 1,800 claims resolved, 288 (16%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company.

Prior to June 2004, the settlement and defense costs associated with all claims were paid by the Company's primary layer insurance carriers under a series of funding arrangements. In addition to the primary insurance available for asbestos-related claims, the Company has substantial excess insurance coverage available for potential future asbestos-related product claims. In June 2004, primary layer insurance carriers notified the Company of the alleged exhaustion of their policy limits.

A declaratory judgment action was filed in January 2004 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois by Continental Casualty Company and related companies against the Company and certain of its historical general liability insurers. The court has issued a number of interim rulings and discovery is continuing. The Company has entered into settlement agreements with some of its insurance carriers, resolving their coverage disputes by agreeing to pay specified amounts to the Company. The Company is vigorously pursuing the litigation against the remaining insurers.

On April 5, 2010, the Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division affirmed a lower court judgment in an asbestos-related action against the Company and others. The Company filed its Notice of Petition to the Supreme Court of New Jersey in late April, seeking to appeal the decisions of the lower courts. On July 8, 2010, the Supreme Court of New Jersey denied the Company's Notice of Petition appealing the decision of the lower courts. The total claim of $40.7 million was paid by the Company in July 2010.

Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the state or federal levels, due to the encapsulated nature of the products, the Company's experience in vigorously defending and resolving claims in the past, and the Company's significant insurance coverage with solvent carriers as of the date of this filing, management does not believe that asbestos-related product liability claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

To date, the Company has paid and accrued $235.8 million in defense and indemnity in advance of insurers' reimbursement and has received $124.8 million in cash and notes from insurers. The net balance of $111.0 million, is expected to be fully recovered, of which approximately $20 million is expected to be recovered within one year. Timing of recovery is dependent on final resolution of the declaratory judgment action referred to above or additional negotiated settlements. At December 31, 2011, insurers owed $109.8 million in association with these claims.

In addition to the $111.0 million net balance relating to past settlements and defense costs, the Company has estimated a liability of $85.6 million for claims asserted, but not yet resolved and their related defense costs at December 31, 2012. The Company also has a related asset of $85.6 million to recognize proceeds from the insurance carriers, which is expected to be fully recovered. Receipt of these proceeds is not expected prior to the resolution of the declaratory judgment action referred to above, which, more-likely-than-not, will occur subsequent to December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2011, the comparable value of the accrued liability and associated insurance asset was $61.7 million.

The 2012 increase in the accrued liability and associated insurance asset is primarily due to an expected higher rate of claim settlement based on recent litigation claim activity.

The Company cannot reasonably estimate possible losses, if any, in excess of those for which it has accrued, because it cannot predict how many additional claims may be brought against the Company (or parties the Company has an obligation to indemnify) in the future, the allegations in such claims, the possible outcomes, or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the State or Federal levels.

NOTE 14
LEASES AND COMMITMENTS

Certain assets are leased under long-term operating leases, including rent for the corporate headquarters and one airplane. Most leases contain renewal options for various periods. Leases generally require the Company to pay for insurance, taxes and maintenance of the leased property. The Company leases other equipment such as vehicles and certain office equipment under short-term leases. Total rent expense was $31.3 million, $30.7 million and $25.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company does not have any material capital leases.

On September 30, 2010, the Company paid $6.0 million for certain machinery and equipment it had previously leased, which was recorded as a capital expenditure within the investing activities section of the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTE 15
EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock (“EPS”) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc. by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc. by the weighted average shares of common stock and common equivalent stock outstanding during the reporting period.

The dilutive impact of stock-based compensation is calculated using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes that the Company uses the assumed proceeds from the exercise of awards to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the purchase price that the grantee will pay in the future, compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized and any windfall/(shortfall) tax benefits that would be credited/(debited) to capital in excess of par value when the award generates a tax deduction. Options are only dilutive when the average market price of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.

In April 2012, the Company settled its 3.50% convertible senior notes. Prior to the settlement, the potential common shares associated with these notes were reflected in diluted EPS using the “if-converted” method. Under this method, if dilutive, the common shares were assumed issued as of the beginning of the reporting period and included in calculating diluted EPS. In addition, if dilutive, interest expense, net of tax, related to the convertible senior notes was added back to the numerator in calculating diluted EPS.

In conjunction with the convertible senior note offering, the Company entered into a bond hedge overlay, including both call options and warrants. On April 16, 2012, the Company settled the call option portion of the bond hedge overlay, receiving approximately 6.5 million shares, which reduced the weighted average basic and dilutive shares outstanding. Prior to the settlement, if the Company's weighted average share price exceeded $32.82 per share, the call options were anti-dilutive. During the third and fourth quarters of 2012, the Company settled the warrant portion of the bond hedge overlay, delivering approximately 4.9 million shares. Prior to settlement, if the Company's weighted-average share price exceeded $38.61 per share, the warrants were dilutive to the Company's earnings.

Traction Systems division of Haldex Group

On January 31, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Haldex Traction Holding AB ("Haldex Traction Systems"). Haldex Traction Systems has operations in Sweden, Hungary and Mexico. The consideration for the acquisition, net of cash acquired, was $214.9 million (1.38 billion Swedish Krona).

The acquisition is expected to accelerate the Company's growth in the global all-wheel drive (AWD) market as it continues to shift toward front-wheel drive (FWD) based vehicles.  The acquisition will add industry leading FWD/AWD technologies, with a strong European customer base, to the Company's existing portfolio of front and rear-wheel drive based products.  This enables the Company to provide global customers a broader range of AWD solutions to meet their vehicle needs.

The operating results are reported within the Company's Drivetrain reporting segment as of the date of acquisition. The Company paid $203.7 million, which is recorded as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Additionally, the Company assumed retirement-related liabilities of $5.3 million and assumed debt of $5.9 million, which are considered non-cash transactions in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

KG. The former 50/50 joint venture was formed in 2000 to develop and manufacture electric cabin heaters. The acquisition formally took effect on May 1, 2010.

The pre-tax impact of this acquisition was an increase in intangible and other assets of $17.6 million related to adjusting the Company's 50% investment to fair value under ASC Topic 805, a gain of $8.0 million and a decrease in cash of $9.6 million. The Company's $9.6 million payment has been recorded as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Dytech ENSA S.L.

On April 10, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of Dytech ENSA S.L. (“Dytech”), headquartered in Vigo, Spain. The gross cost of this acquisition is $147.7 million, or $147.6 million, net of cash and cash equivalents. Dytech is a leading producer of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers, EGR tubes, and integrated EGR modules including valves for automotive and commercial vehicle applications, both on- and off-road. This acquisition enhances the Company's emissions products offering and system/module expertise, further differentiating BorgWarner as a leader in highly engineered automotive systems. In addition, Dytech's geographic footprint and customer base complements and strengthens the Company's market presence with global automakers. The operating results of Dytech are reported within the Company's Engine reporting segment from the date of acquisition. The Company's $147.6 million payment has been recorded as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Etatech, Inc. Technology

On June 2, 2009, the Company announced the purchase of advanced gasoline ignition technology and related intellectual property from Florida-based Etatech, Inc. The high-frequency ignition technology enables high-performing, lean burning engines to significantly improve fuel economy and reduce emissions compared with conventional combustion technologies. The Company made a cash payment of $7.5 million in both June 2009 and May 2010 for the purchase of Etatech, Inc., which has been reflected as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

BERU

In 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of BERU Aktiengesellschaft's ("BERU") outstanding shares through a German legal process referred to as a "squeeze out," which required the Company to pay €73.39 per share to the non-controlling shareholders. Certain non-controlling shareholders  had challenged the "squeeze out" share price of €73.39 . In November 2012, the court ruled confirming the adequacy of the share price of €73.39, therefore the Company would not be required to pay any additional amount to the “squeezed-out” shareholders. However, the non-controlling  shareholders have appealed the ruling and no date has been set by the court to rule on the appeal.

In addition, certain non-controlling shareholders had challenged the 2008 Domination and Profit Sharing Agreement ("DPTA"). In the same ruling on the "squeeze out," the court ruled on the adequacy of the guaranteed dividend calculated in the DPTA. The ruling increased the guaranteed divided by a negligible amount. The non-controlling shareholders and the Company have appealed this ruling and no date has yet been set by the court to rule on the appeals.

NOTE 17
REPORTING SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION

The Company's business is comprised of two reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain. These segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents a specific grouping of related automotive components and systems.

The Company allocates resources to each segment based upon the projected after-tax return on invested capital ("ROIC") of its business initiatives. ROIC is comprised of Adjusted EBIT after deducting notional taxes compared to the projected average capital investment required. Adjusted EBIT is comprised of earnings before interest, income taxes and noncontrolling interest (“EBIT") adjusted for restructuring, goodwill impairment charges, affiliates' earnings and other items not reflective of on-going operating income or loss.

Adjusted EBIT is the measure of segment income or loss used by the Company. The Company believes Adjusted EBIT is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our reporting segments. The following tables show segment information and Adjusted EBIT for the Company's reporting segments.

_______________

(a) The Company's results were impacted by the following:
Quarter ended December 31, 2012: Retirement related obligations of $17.3 million are comprised of a $5.7 million loss resulting from the settlement of a portion of the Muncie Plant's pension obligation and an $11.6 million expense associated with the retirement of certain Named Executive Officers. These obligations were partially offset by a $6.1 million tax benefit. The Company incurred tax expense of $3.9 million which included $11.1 million of U.S. tax expense to correct the income taxes payable balance, partially offset by tax benefits resulting from changes to the statutory income tax rate in certain countries and the settlement of certain tax audits.

Additionally, the Company incurred tax expense of $6.9 million primarily resulting from the settlement of certain tax audits.
Quarter ended June 30, 2012: The Company recorded expense of $37.9 million primarily due to the write-down of prior purchase price accounting adjustments included within the disposal group as a result of signing a Master Purchase Agreement to sell the spark plug business to Federal-Mogul Corporation, which was partially offset by a tax benefit of $5.5 million resulting from the write-down. Additionally, the Company recorded tax expense of $9.0 million related to its decision to change its cash repatriation assertion for some of its foreign subsidiaries.
Quarter ended December 31, 2011: The Company incurred $21.5 million in expense associated with the loss on sale of the tire pressure monitoring business, including costs related to the divestiture, and a write-down of a portion of the ignitor and electronic business.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Not applicable.

Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. However, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 
  
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. Refer to Item 7 of this report for "Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting."

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the Company's consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 as stated in their report included herein.
 
Changes in Internal Control
 
There have been no changes in internal controls over the financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
