Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(In millions, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
General
Dana Incorporated (Dana) is headquartered in Maumee, Ohio and was incorporated in Delaware in 2007. As a global provider of high technology driveline (axles, driveshafts and transmissions); sealing and thermal-management products; and motors, power inverters, and control systems for electric vehicles our customer base includes virtually every major vehicle manufacturer in the global light vehicle, medium/heavy vehicle and off-highway markets.
The terms "Dana," "we," "our" and "us," when used in this report, are references to Dana. These references include the subsidiaries of Dana unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise.
Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation — Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information. These statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the 2021 Form 10-K). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
During the first quarter of 2022, we identified an error related to certain intercompany inventory transfers that were not appropriately eliminated and recorded an adjustment of $8 to cost of sales. A portion of this adjustment relates to prior periods. We concluded that the correction of this error is not material to the financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 or any prior periods.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The guidance is intended to provide clarification on how to account for contract assets acquired via business combination, which will generally be at the same value as recognized by the acquiree assuming the acquiree followed US GAAP. The guidance becomes effective January 1, 2023. We do not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This guidance requires annual disclosures about the nature of certain government assistance received, the accounting policy used to account for the transactions, the location in the financial statements where such transactions were recorded and significant terms and conditions associated with such transactions. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Pi Innovo Holding Limited — On March 1, 2021, we acquired the remaining 51% ownership interest in Pi Innovo Holding Limited (Pi Innovo). Pi Innovo designs, develops and manufactures electronic control units spanning a range of applications and industries. The acquisition of the remaining ownership interest provided us with a 100% ownership interest in Pi Innovo. The total purchase consideration of $35 is comprised of $18 of cash paid at closing and the $17 fair value of our previously held equity method investment in Pi Innovo. The results of operations of the business are reported within our Commercial Vehicle operating segment. The pro forma effects of this acquisition would not materially impact our reported results for any period presented, and as a result no pro forma financial information is presented.
Note 3. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill — Our goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of October 31 for all of our reporting units, and more frequent if events or circumstances warrant such a review. We did not identify any events or circumstances during the first quarter of 2022 that required an interim impairment test. We expect that the fair value of our reporting units will continue to exceed their carrying values in future periods.
The change in the carrying amount of goodwill in 2022 is due to currency fluctuation.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment —

The net carrying amounts of intangible assets, other than goodwill, attributable to each of our operating segments at March 31, 2022 were as follows: Light Vehicle — $19, Commercial Vehicle — $74, Off-Highway — $126 and Power Technologies — $6.

The following table provides the estimated aggregate pre-tax amortization expense related to intangible assets for each of the next five years based on March 31, 2022 exchange rates. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates due to such factors as currency translation, customer turnover, impairments, additional intangible asset acquisitions and other events.

Note 4. Restructuring of Operations
Our restructuring activities have historically included rationalizing our operating footprint by consolidating facilities, positioning operations in lower cost locations and reducing overhead costs. In recent years our focus has been primarily headcount reduction initiatives to reduce operating costs, including actions taken at acquired businesses to rationalize cost structures and achieve operating synergies. Restructuring expense includes costs associated with current and previously announced actions and is comprised of contractual and noncontractual separation costs and exit costs, including certain operating costs of facilities that we are in the process of closing.

Common stock — Our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
cents per share of common stock in the first quarter of 2022. Dividends accrue on restricted stock units (RSUs) granted under our stock compensation program and will be paid in cash or additional units when the underlying units vest.
Share repurchase program — On February 16, 2021 our Board of Directors approved an extension of our existing common stock share repurchase program through December 31, 2023. Under the program, we spent $25 to repurchase 1,483,742 shares of our common stock during the first quarter of 2022 through open market transactions. Approximately $102 remained available for future share repurchases as of March 31, 2022.

Redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustments of redemption value are recorded in retained earnings. We estimate the fair value of the redemption value using an income based approach based on discounted cash flow projections. In determining fair value using discounted cash flow projections, we make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, including revenue growth rates, projected EBITDA, discount rates and terminal growth rates.

The share count for diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effects of dilutive common stock equivalents (CSEs) outstanding during the period. We excluded 0.4 million and 0.9 million CSEs from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021 as the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive.
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the grant of RSUs and performance share units (PSUs) shown in the table below during 2022.

We calculated the fair value of the RSUs at grant date based on the closing market price of our common stock at the date of grant. The number of PSUs that ultimately vest is contingent on achieving specified financial targets and specified total shareholder return targets relative to peer companies. For the portion of the award based on financial metrics, we estimated the fair value of the PSUs at grant date based on the closing market price of our common stock at the date of grant adjusted for the value of assumed dividends over the period because the awards are not dividend protected. For the portion of the award based on shareholder returns, we estimated the fair value of the PSUs at grant date using various assumptions as part of a Monte Carlo simulation. The expected term represents the period from the grant date to the end of the
-year performance period. The risk-free interest rate of 1.78% was based on U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates at the grant date. The dividend yield of 1.67% was calculated using our historical approach calculated by dividing the expected annual dividend by the average stock price over the prior year. The estimated volatility of 63.9% was based on observed historical volatility of daily stock returns for the 3-year period preceding the grant date.
During 2022, we paid $4 of cash to settle RSUs and issued 0.8 million and 0.1 million shares of common stock based on the vesting of RSUs and PSUs, respectively. We recognized stock compensation expense of $4 and $5 during the first quarters of 2022 and 2021. At March 31, 2022, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested awards granted and expected to vest was $39. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.
Note 10. Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

Interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually. Other indebtedness includes the note payable to the former owners of SME S.p.A., borrowings from various financial institutions, and finance lease obligations.
Senior notes activity — On May 13, 2021, we redeemed $254 of our December 2024 Notes pursuant to a tender offer at a weighted average price equal to 102.000% plus accrued and unpaid interest. On May 17, 2021, we called the remaining $171 of our December 2024 Notes at a price equal to 101.833% plus accrued and unpaid interest. The $8 loss on extinguishment of debt recorded in May 2021 includes the redemption premium of $8 and the write-off of $3 of previously deferred financing costs associated with the December 2024 Notes. These charges were partially offset by the recognition of $3 related to an unamortized fair value adjustment associated with a fixed-to-floating interest rate swap that was terminated in 2015.
On May 13, 2021, we completed the sale of $400 in senior unsecured notes (the September 2030 Notes) at 4.25%. The September 2030 Notes rank equally with Dana's other unsecured senior notes. Interest on the notes is payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2021. The September 2030 Notes will mature on September 1, 2030. Net proceeds of the offering totaled $395. Financing costs of $5 were recorded as deferred costs and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes. Proceeds from the offering will be used to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, recently completed or future eligible green projects related to clean transportation, renewable energy, sustainable water and wastewater management, and green buildings.
On May 28, 2021, Dana Financing Luxembourg S.à r.l. (Dana Financing), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dana, completed the sale of
( as of May 28, 2021) in senior unsecured notes ( July 2029 Notes) at 3.000%. The July 2029 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Dana. The July 2029 Notes rank equally with Dana's other unsecured senior notes. Interest on the notes is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2022. The July 2029 Notes will mature on July 15, 2029. Net proceeds of the offering totaled ( as of May 28, 2021). Financing costs of ($6 as of May 28, 2021) were recorded as deferred costs and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes. The proceeds from the offering were used to redeem all of our June 2026 Notes. On June 10, 2021 we redeemed all of our June 2026 Notes at a price equal to 103.25% plus accrued and unpaid interest. The $16 loss on extinguishment of debt includes the $12 redemption premium and the $4 write-off of previously deferred financing costs associated with the June 2026 Notes.
On November 24, 2021, we completed the sale of $350 in senior unsecured notes (the February 2032 Notes) at 4.5%. The February 2032 Notes rank equally with Dana’s other unsecured senior notes. Interest on the notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2022. The February 2032 Notes will mature on February 15, 2032. Net proceeds of the offering totaled $345. Financing costs of $5 were recorded as deferred costs and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes. Proceeds from the offering, along with cash on hand, were used to fully pay down the Term B Facility. See credit agreement discussion below.
Senior notes redemption provisions — We may redeem some or all of the senior notes at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on the anniversary date of the senior notes in the year set forth below:

Credit agreement — On March 25, 2021, we amended our credit and guaranty agreement, increasing the Revolving Facility to $1,150 and extending the maturity to March 25, 2026. We recorded deferred fees of $2 related to the amendment. The deferred fees are being amortized over the life of the applicable facilities. On November 30, 2021, we fully paid down the Term B Facility. Deferred financing costs on our Revolving Facility are included in other noncurrent assets.
The Revolving Facility is guaranteed by all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries subject to certain exceptions (the guarantors) and are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of Dana and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.
Advances under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate based on, at our option, the base rate or Eurodollar rate (each as described in the credit agreement) plus a margin as set forth below:
Margin | ||||||||
Total Net Leverage Ratio | Base Rate | Eurodollar Rate | ||||||
Less than or equal to 1.00:1.00 | 0.25 | % | 1.25 | % | ||||
Greater than 1.00:1.00 but less than or equal to 2.00:1.00 | 0.50 | % | 1.50 | % | ||||
Greater than 2.00:1.00 | 0.75 | % | 1.75 | % |
Commitment fees are applied based on the average daily unused portion of the available amounts under the Revolving Facility as set forth below:
Total Net Leverage Ratio | Commitment Fee | |||
Less than or equal to 1.00:1.00 | 0.250 | % | ||
Greater than 1.00:1.00 but less than or equal to 2.00:1.00 | 0.375 | % | ||
Greater than 2.00:1.00 | 0.500 | % |
Up to $275 of the Revolving Facility may be applied to letters of credit, which reduces availability. We pay a fee for issued and undrawn letters of credit in an amount per annum equal to the applicable margin for Eurodollar rate advances based on a quarterly average availability under issued and undrawn letters of credit under the Revolving Facility and a per annum fronting fee of 0.125%, payable quarterly.
At March 31, 2022, we had $265 of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and had utilized $21 for letters of credit. We had availability at March 31, 2022 under the Revolving Facility of $864 after deducting outstanding borrowings and the letters of credit.
Debt covenants — At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants of our financing agreements. Under the Revolving Facility and the senior notes, we are required to comply with certain incurrence-based covenants customary for facilities of these types and, in the case of the Revolving Facility, a maintenance covenant tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter requiring us to maintain a first lien net leverage ratio not to exceed 2.00 to 1.00.
Note 13. Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives

Foreign currency derivatives — Our foreign currency derivatives include forward contracts associated with forecasted transactions, primarily involving the purchases and sales of inventory through the next
months, as well as currency swaps associated with certain recorded external notes payable and intercompany loans receivable and payable. Periodically, our foreign currency derivatives also include net investment hedges of certain of our investments in foreign operations.
We have executed fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps in conjunction with the issuance of certain notes to eliminate the variability in the functional-currency-equivalent cash flows due to changes in exchange rates associated with the forecasted principal and interest payments. All of the underlying designated financial instruments have been designated as the hedged items in each respective cash flow hedge relationship, as shown in the table below. Designated as cash flow hedges of the forecasted principal and interest payments of the underlying designated financial instruments all of the swaps economically convert the underlying designated financial instruments into the functional currency of each respective holder. The impact of the interest rate differential between the inflow and outflow rates on all fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps is recognized during each period as a component of interest expense.
The following fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps were outstanding at March 31, 2022:

The designated swaps are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the corresponding currency-based changes in cash outflows related to the underlying designated financial instruments. Based on our qualitative assessment that the critical terms of the underlying designated financial instruments and the associated swaps match and that all other required criteria have been met, we do not expect to incur any ineffectiveness. As effective cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the swaps will be recorded in OCI during each period. Additionally, to the extent the swaps remain effective, the appropriate portion of AOCI will be reclassified to earnings each period as an offset to the foreign exchange gain or loss resulting from the remeasurement of the underlying designated financial instruments. See Note 12 for additional information about the April 2025 Notes. To the extent the swaps are no longer effective, changes in their fair values will be recorded in earnings.
We had previously entered into fixed-to-fixed cross currency swaps as a hedge against our June 2026 Notes. In June 2021, we elected to redeem all of the June 2026 Notes and de-designated the fixed-to-fixed cross currency swaps. See Note 12 for additional information about the extinguishment of the June 2026 Notes. As the forecasted payments subject to the hedge will no longer occur in the forecasted periods, we reclassified $9 of previously deferred losses from AOCI into other income (expense), net. We settled $187 of the $375 notional value resulting in a net cash outflow of $22. The remaining $188 continues to remain outstanding and we have entered into an offsetting swap to hedge against future fair value adjustments which will be included in earnings. The fair value of the remaining $188 will be settled with the counterparty over the life of the swap through the difference in the euro denominated inflow and outflow rates which are settled on June 15 and December 15 each year through June 2026.
The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts, involving the exchange of various currencies, was $393 at March 31, 2022 and $449 at December 31, 2021. The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency swaps, including the fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps, was $1,083 at March 31, 2022 and $1,096 at December 31, 2021.

Designated cash flow hedges — With respect to contracts designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value during the period in which the contracts remain outstanding are reported in OCI to the extent such contracts remain effective. Effectiveness is measured by using regression analysis to determine the degree of correlation between the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument and the change in the associated foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in fair value of contracts not designated as cash flow hedges or as net investment hedges are recognized in other income (expense), net in the period in which the changes occur. Realized gains and losses from currency-related forward contracts associated with forecasted transactions or from other derivative instruments, including those that have been designated as cash flow hedges and those that have not been designated, are recognized in the same line item in the consolidated statement of operations in which the underlying forecasted transaction or other hedged item is recorded. Accordingly, amounts are potentially recorded in sales, cost of sales or, in certain circumstances, other income (expense), net.
The following table provides a summary of deferred gains (losses) reported in AOCI as well as the amount expected to be reclassified to income in one year or less:

The amounts reclassified from AOCI into income for the cross-currency swaps represent an offset to a foreign exchange loss on our foreign currency-denominated intercompany and external debt instruments.
Certain of our hedges of forecasted transactions have not formally been designated as cash flow hedges. As undesignated forward contracts, the changes in the fair value of such contracts are included in earnings for the duration of the outstanding forward contract. Any realized gain or loss on the settlement of such contracts is recognized in the same period and in the same line item in the consolidated statement of operations as the underlying transaction. The following table provides a summary of the location and amount of gains or losses recognized in the consolidated statement of operations associated with undesignated hedging relationships.

Net investment hedges — We periodically designate derivative contracts or underlying non-derivative financial instruments as net investment hedges. With respect to contracts designated as net investment hedges, we apply the forward method, but for non-derivative financial instruments designated as net investment hedges, we apply the spot method. Under both methods, we report changes in fair value in the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) component of OCI during the period in which the contracts remain outstanding to the extent such contracts and non-derivative financial instruments remain effective.
Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
Product liabilities — Accrued product liability costs were $3 at March 31, 2022 and $2 at December 31, 2021. We had also recognized amounts recoverable from third parties of $13 at March 31, 2022 and $13 at December 31, 2021. Payments made to claimants precede recovery of amounts from third parties, and may result in recoverable amounts in excess of the total liability. We estimate these liabilities based on current information and assumptions about the value and likelihood of the claims against us.
Environmental liabilities — Accrued environmental liabilities were $9 at March 31, 2022 and $10 at December 31, 2021. We consider the most probable method of remediation, current laws and regulations and existing technology in estimating our environmental liabilities.
Guarantee of lease obligations — In connection with the divestiture of our Structural Products business in 2010, leases covering three U.S. facilities were assigned to a U.S. affiliate of Metalsa. Under the terms of the sale agreement, we will guarantee the affiliate’s performance under the leases, which run through June 2025, including approximately $6 of annual payments. In the event of a required payment by Dana as guarantor, we are entitled to pursue full recovery from Metalsa of the amounts paid under the guarantee and to take possession of the leased property.
Other legal matters — We are subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business or operations. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, we cannot state what the eventual outcome of these matters will be. However, based on current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, we believe that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
We record a liability for estimated warranty obligations at the dates our products are sold. We record the liability based on our estimate of costs to settle future claims. Adjustments to our estimated costs at time of sale are made as claim experience and other new information becomes available. Obligations for service campaigns and other occurrences are recognized as adjustments to prior estimates when the obligation is probable and can be reasonably estimated.

We estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes in interim reporting periods. We also recognize the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur.
We have generally not recognized tax benefits on losses generated in several entities where the recent history of operating losses does not allow us to satisfy the “more likely than not” criterion for the recognition of deferred tax assets. Consequently, there is no income tax expense or benefit recognized on the pre-tax income or losses in these jurisdictions as valuation allowances are adjusted to offset the associated tax expense or benefit.
We record interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. Net interest expense for the periods presented herein is not significant.
We reported income tax expense of $18 and $22 for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rates were 49% and 29% for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021. Our effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to establishment, release and adjustment of valuation allowances in several countries, nondeductible expenses and deemed income, local tax incentives in several countries outside the U.S., different statutory tax rates outside the U.S. and withholding taxes related to repatriations of international earnings. The effective income tax rate may vary significantly due to fluctuations in the amounts and sources, both foreign and domestic, of pretax income and changes in the amounts of non-deductible expenses.
Dividends of earnings from non-U.S. operations are generally no longer subjected to U.S. income tax. We continue to analyze and adjust the estimated tax impact of the income and non-U.S. withholding tax liabilities based on the amounts and sources of these earnings.

Foreign exchange gains and losses on cross-currency intercompany loan balances that are not of a long-term investment nature are included above. Foreign exchange gains and losses on intercompany loans that are permanently invested are reported in OCI.
Strategic transaction expenses relate primarily to costs incurred in connection with acquisition and divestiture related activities, including costs to complete the transaction and post-closing integration costs, and other strategic initiatives. Strategic transaction expenses in 2022 were primarily attributable to investigating potential acquisitions and business ventures and other strategic initiatives. Strategic transaction expenses in 2021 were primarily attributable to our pursuit of the acquisition of a portion of the thermal-management business of Modine Manufacturing Company and certain other strategic initiatives.
We held convertible notes receivable from our investment in Hyliion Inc. On October 1, 2020, Hyliion Inc. completed its merger with Tortoise Acquisition Corp. The business combination resulted in the combined company being renamed Hyliion Holdings Corp. (Hyliion), with its common stock being listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol HYLN. Effective with the completed merger, our notes receivable were converted into 2,988,229 common shares of HYLN. Our investment in Hyliion was included in marketable securities and carried at fair value with changes in fair value included in net income. During the third quarter of 2021, we sold all of our Hyliion shares.
In conjunction with our acquisition of ODS, we acquired a controlling financial interest in a joint venture in China. We were required to divest our interest in this joint venture as it violates competitive restrictions of another of our China joint venture shareholder agreements. During the first quarter of 2021, we recorded an impairment charge of
as we determined the carrying value of the disposal group exceeded its fair value less costs to sell. We completed the disposal of this business in April 2021.
Note 18. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
We generate revenue from selling production parts to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and service parts to OEMs and aftermarket customers. While we provide production and service parts to certain OEMs under awarded multi-year programs, these multi-year programs do not contain any commitment to volume by the customer. As such, individual customer releases or purchase orders represent the contract with the customer. Our customer contracts do not provide us with an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date throughout the contract term. As such, we recognize part sales revenue at the point in time when the parts are shipped, and risk of loss has transferred to the customer. We have elected to continue to include shipping and handling fees billed to customers in revenue, while including costs of shipping and handling in costs of sales. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenues and credited directly to obligations to the appropriate government agencies. Payment terms with our customers are established based on industry and regional practices and generally do not exceed 180 days.
We continually seek new business opportunities and at times provide incentives to our customers for new program awards. We evaluate the underlying economics of each payment made to our customers to determine the proper accounting by understanding the nature of the payment, the rights and obligations in the contract, and other relevant facts and circumstances. Upfront payments to our customers are capitalized if we determine that the payments are incremental and incurred only if the new business is obtained and we expect to recover these amounts from the customer over the term of the new business program. We recognize a reduction to revenue as products that the upfront payments are related to are transferred to the customer, based on the total amount of products expected to be sold over the term of the program. We evaluate the amounts capitalized each period for recoverability and expense any amounts that are no longer expected to be recovered. We had $9 and $8 recorded in other current assets and $35 and $38 recorded in other noncurrent assets at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Certain of our customer contracts include rebate incentives. We estimate expected rebates and accrue the corresponding refund liability, as a reduction of revenue, at the time covered product is sold to the customer based on anticipated customer purchases during the rebate period and contractual rebate percentages. Refund liabilities are included in other accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. We provide standard fitness for use warranties on the products we sell, accruing for estimated costs related to product warranty obligations at time of sale. See Note 15 for additional information.
Contract liabilities are primarily comprised of cash deposits made by customers with cash in advance payment terms. Generally, our contract liabilities turn over frequently given our relatively short production cycles. Contract liabilities were $32 and $34 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Contract liabilities are included in other accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.
During the second quarter of 2021, we realigned certain of our Indian operations previously reported in our Commercial Vehicle operating segment to be reported within our Off-Highway operating segment and we realigned certain of our Brazilian operations previously reported in our Off-Highway operating segment to be reported within our Commercial Vehicle operating segment. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform with our current operating segment reporting structure.

Operational and Strategic Initiatives
Our enterprise strategy builds on our strong technology foundation and leverages our resources across the organization while driving a customer-centric focus, expanding our global markets, and delivering innovative solutions as we evolve into the era of vehicle electrification.
Central to our strategy is leveraging our core operations. This foundational element enables us to infuse strong operational disciplines throughout the strategy, making it practical, actionable, and effective. It enables us to capitalize on being a major drive systems supplier across all three end mobility markets. We are achieving improved profitability by actively seeking synergies across our engineering, purchasing, and manufacturing base. We have strengthened the portfolio by acquiring critical assets, and we are utilizing our physical and intellectual capital to amplify innovation across the enterprise. Leveraging these core elements can further expand the cost efficiencies of our common technologies and deliver a sustainable competitive advantage for Dana.
Driving customer centricity continues to be at the heart of who we are. Putting our customers at the center of our value system is firmly embedded in our culture and is driving growth by focusing on customer relationships and providing value to our customers. These relationships are strengthened as we are physically located where we need to be in order to provide unparalleled service, and we are prioritizing our customers’ needs as we engineer solutions that differentiate their products, while making it easier to do business with Dana by digitizing their experience. Our customer-centric focus has uniquely positioned us to win more than our fair share of new business and capitalize on future customer outsourcing initiatives.
Expanding global markets means utilizing our global capabilities and presence to further penetrate growth markets, focusing on Asia due to its position as the largest mobility market in the world with the highest market growth rate as well as its lead in the adoption of new energy vehicles. We are investing across various avenues to increase our presence in Asia Pacific by forging new partnerships, expanding inorganically, and growing organically. We continue to operate in this region through wholly owned and joint ventures with local market partners. We have recently made acquisitions that have augmented our footprint in the region, specifically in India and China. All the while, we have been making meaningful organic investments to grow with existing and new customers, primarily in Thailand, India, and China. These added capabilities have enabled us to target the domestic Asia Pacific markets and utilize the capacity for export to other global markets. We continue to enhance and expand our global footprint, optimizing it to capture growth across all of our end markets.
Delivering innovative solutions enables us to capitalize on market growth trends as we evolve our core technology capabilities. We are also focused on enhancing our physical products with digital content to provide smart systems, and we see an opportunity to become a digital systems provider by delivering software as a service to our traditional end customers. This focus on delivering solutions based on our core technology is leading to new business wins and increasing our content per vehicle. We have made significant investments - both organically and inorganically - allowing us to move to the next phase, which is to Lead electric propulsion.
Over the last several years we continue to deliver on our goal to accelerate vehicle electrification through both core Dana technologies and targeted strategic acquisitions and are positioned today to lead the market. The nine recent investments in electrodynamic expertise and technologies combined with Dana’s longstanding mechatronics capabilities has allowed us to develop and deliver fully integrated e-Propulsion systems that are power-dense and achieve optimal efficiency through the integration of the components that we offer due to our mechatronics capabilities. With recent electric vehicle program awards, we are well on our way to achieving our growth objectives in this emerging market.
The development and implementation of our enterprise strategy is positioning Dana to grow profitably due to increased customer focus as we leverage our core capabilities, expand into new markets, develop and commercialize new technologies, including for electric vehicles.
Capital Structure Initiatives
In addition to investing in our business, we plan to prioritize a balanced allocation of capital while maintaining a strong financial position. We continue to drive toward investment grade metrics as part of our balanced allocation approach with a goal of further strengthening our balance sheet.
Shareholder return actions — When evaluating capital structure initiatives, we balance our growth opportunities and shareholder value initiatives with maintaining a strong balance sheet and access to capital. Our strong financial position has enabled us to simplify our capital structure while providing returns to our shareholders in the form of cash dividends and a reduction in the number of shares outstanding. Through the first quarter of 2020, we had declared and paid quarterly common stock dividends for thirty-three consecutive quarters. In response to the COVID pandemic, we temporarily suspended the declaration and payment of dividends to common shareholders and the repurchase of common stock under our $200 common stock share repurchase program. With the impacts of the COVID pandemic largely behind us we resumed the declaration and payment of quarterly common stock dividends during the first quarter of 2021. In addition, we resumed the repurchase of common shares using $23 and $25 of cash to repurchase common shares under the program in 2021 and 2022, respectively. The share repurchase program expires on December 31, 2023, and $102 remains available for future share repurchases as of March 31, 2022.
Financing actions — We have taken advantage of competitive debt markets, eliminating our secured debt and extending and restructuring our senior note maturity schedule. Our current portfolio of unsecured senior notes is structured such that no more than $400 of senior notes comes due in any calendar year, with no maturities until the second quarter of 2025. In addition, we increased our revolving credit facility in 2021 to $1,150 and extended its maturity to March 25, 2026. See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.
Other Initiatives
Aftermarket opportunities — We have a global group dedicated to identifying and developing aftermarket growth opportunities that leverage the capabilities within our existing businesses – targeting increased future aftermarket sales. Powered by recognized brands such as Dana®, Spicer®, Spicer Electrified™, Victor Reinz®, Glaser®, GWB®, Thompson®, Tru-Cool®, SVL®, and Transejes™, Dana delivers a broad range of aftermarket solutions – including genuine, all makes, and value lines – servicing passenger, commercial, and off-highway vehicles across the globe.
Selective acquisitions — Although transformational opportunities like the GKN plc driveline business transaction that we pursued in 2018 will be considered when strategically and economically attractive, our acquisition focus is principally directed at “bolt-on” or adjacent acquisition opportunities that have a strategic fit with our existing core businesses, particularly opportunities that support our enterprise strategy and enhance the value proposition of our product offerings. Any potential acquisition will be evaluated in the same manner we currently consider customer program opportunities and other uses of capital – with a disciplined financial approach designed to ensure profitable growth and increased shareholder value.
Acquisitions
Over the past several years we have actively grown our electric vehicle capabilities through multiple acquisitions, positioning us to deliver complete e-Propulsion systems with in-house electrodynamics. Our acquisitions of Dana TM4 Inc. (formerly TM4 Inc.), Dana TM4 Italia S.r.l. (formerly S.M.E. S.p.A.), Dana (Beijing) Electric Motor Co., Ltd. (formerly Prestolite E-Propulsion Systems (Beijing) Limited), Ashwoods Innovations Ltd., Oerlikon Drive Systems, Nordresa Motors, Inc., Rational Motion GmbH and Pi Innovo Holding Limited have enhanced our portfolio of core technologies including e-motors, power inverters, software and controls, and advance mechatronics.

Trends in Our Markets
We serve our customers in three core global end markets: light vehicle, primarily full frame trucks and SUVs; commercial vehicle, including medium-and heavy-duty trucks and busses; and off-highway, including construction, mining, and agriculture equipment.
Each of our end-markets has unique cyclical dynamics and market drivers. These cycles are impacted by periods of investment where end-user vehicle fleets are refreshed or expanded in reaction to demand usage patterns, regulatory changes, or when the age of vehicles in service reach their useful life. Key market drivers include regional economic growth rates; industrial output; commodity production and pricing; and residential and nonresidential construction rates. Our multi-market coverage and broad customer base help provide stability across the cycles while mitigating secular variability. In 2020, all of our end-markets were impacted to varying degrees by the COVID pandemic, which initially resulted in lower demand driven by production shutdowns related to virus mitigation efforts in the regions we serve. During 2021, we generally saw improvement across all of our end markets despite production levels being muted by continued global supply chain disruptions driven in part by transportation inefficiencies and labor, commodity and semiconductor chip shortages.
Light vehicle markets — Our driveline business is weighted more heavily to the truck and SUV segments of the light-vehicle market versus the passenger-car segment. Our vehicle content is greater on rear-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive vehicles, as well as hybrid and electric vehicles. The impact of the COVID pandemic in 2020 saw the global light-truck market contract by 13% from 2019 levels. During 2021, light-truck markets improved across all regions and were up 5% on a global basis compared to 2020. The outlook for the full year of 2022 reflects global light-truck production to be up 13%, with growth across all regions, exhibiting a strong rebound returning to at or above 2019 levels as production constraints continue to ease, inventory returns to more normal levels, and constrained customer demand is fulfilled.
Commercial vehicle markets — Our primary business is driveline systems for medium and heavy-duty trucks and busses, including the emerging market for hybrid and electric vehicles. Key regional markets are North America, South America (primarily Brazil) and Asia Pacific. The Class-8 truck market in North America peaked at 345,000 trucks produced in 2019. Production of Class-8 trucks in 2020 was 38% below the record production in 2019 due to normal cycle dynamics and the impact of COVID. During 2021, production of Class-8 trucks increased 20% over 2020 as the impacts of COVID lessened and the economy exhibited improvement. The outlook for 2022 is for stronger demand with production up 16% over the prior year driven by continued improving economic outlook and cyclical growth.
Medium-duty truck production in North America experienced a 20% year- over-year decline from 2019 to 2020, primarily due to COVID. During 2021, production increased a modest 3% over 2020. The outlook for 2022 is for a 10% increase in production over the prior year. Outside of North America, production of medium-and heavy-duty trucks in South America declined 22% in 2020 due to COVID and deteriorating economic conditions. During 2021, production increased 76% over 2020 as the region recovered from the impact of the pandemic and the age of existing vehicles drove a replacement cycle for new trucks. The outlook for South America is for a modest 3% increase in production from the prior year as local economic conditions remain relatively stable. In contrast to the rest of the world, Asia Pacific, driven by China, did not experience lower truck production in 2020, but output slowed by 8% in 2021 as production matched lower demand, primarily driven by India where the recovery from the pandemic has been slower than in China. The 2022 outlook for Asia Pacific is for a 9% reduction in production from the prior year as the Indian market recovery continues to lag.
Off-highway markets — Our off-highway business has a large presence outside of North America, with 65% of its 2021 sales coming from products manufactured in Europe; however, a large portion of these products are utilized in vehicle production outside the region. The construction equipment segment of the off-highway market is closely related to global economic growth and infrastructure investment. This segment has experienced a 5% market contraction, which began in late 2018 and further accelerated due to COVID, with 2020 production ending down an additional 10%. The global construction market began to rebound in 2021 with production up 12% over 2020. The 2022 outlook has production demand in the global construction market showing continued strength with production increasing by 10% over the prior year. End-user investment in the mining equipment segment is driven by prices for commodity products produced by underground mining. The global mining equipment market has been mostly stable over the past several years as industry participants have maintained vehicle inventory levels to match commodity output, and this trend is expected to continue in 2022. The agriculture equipment market is the third of our key off-highway segments. Like the underground mining segment, investment in agriculture equipment is primarily driven by prices for farm commodities. Continued low farm commodity prices drove a 7% reduction in production in 2020. Farm subsidies in response to the global pandemic drove a 10% increase in production during 2021. The outlook for 2022 is for end-market demand to improve by 6% compared to the prior year, as farm subsidies are expected to continue to bolster the commodity market and drive the replacement of aging equipment.
Foreign currency — With 55% of our first quarter 2022 sales coming from outside the U.S., international currency movements can have a significant effect on our sales and results of operations. The euro zone countries accounted for 51% of our first quarter 2022 non-U.S. sales, while India, China and Brazil each accounted for 10%. Although sales in South Africa are less than 5% of our non-U.S. sales, the rand has been volatile and significantly impacted sales from time to time. International currencies weakened against the U.S. dollar in the first quarter of 2022, decreasing sales by $55. A weaker euro, Thai baht and Indian rupee were partially offset by a stronger Brazilian real and Chinese renminbi.
Argentina has experienced significant inflationary pressures the past few years, contributing to significant devaluation of its currency among other economic challenges. Our Argentine operation supports our Light Vehicle operating segment. Our sales in Argentina for the first quarter of 2022 of approximately $31 are 1% of our consolidated sales and our net asset exposure related to Argentina was approximately $36, including $14 of net fixed assets, at March 31, 2022. During the second quarter of 2018, we determined that Argentina's economy met the GAAP definition of a highly inflationary economy. In assessing Argentina's economy as highly inflationary we considered its three-year cumulative inflation rate along with other factors. As a result, effective July 1, 2018, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our Argentine operations, rather than the Argentine peso. Beginning July 1, 2018, peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using current Argentine peso exchange rates with resulting translation gains or losses included in results of operations. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollar using historic Argentine peso exchange rates.
Commodity costs — The cost of our products may be significantly impacted by changes in raw material commodity prices, the most important to us being those of various grades of steel, aluminum, copper, brass and rare earth materials. The effects of changes in commodity prices are reflected directly in our purchases of commodities and indirectly through our purchases of products such as castings, forgings, bearings, batteries and component parts that include commodities. Most of our major customer agreements provide for the sharing of significant commodity price changes with those customers based on the movement in various published commodity indexes. Where such formal agreements are not present, we have historically been successful implementing price adjustments that largely compensate for the inflationary impact of material costs. Material cost changes will customarily have some impact on our financial results as customer pricing adjustments typically lag commodity price changes. Commodity prices increased significantly during 2021, reducing year-over-year earnings by approximately $367. Material recovery pricing actions increased year-over-year earnings by $271 in 2021. Higher commodity prices decreased earnings in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021 by $138 and $35, respectively. Material cost recovery pricing actions increased earnings in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021 by $122 and $18, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures discussion below for definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measures. We have not provided a reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of net income. Providing net income guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in net income, including restructuring actions, asset impairments and certain income tax adjustments. The accompanying reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures with the most comparable GAAP measures for the historical periods presented are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance.
We have decreased our full year 2022 adjusted EBITDA range to $770 - $870. The $130 reduction reflects our expectation for continued commodity and non-material cost inflation through the balance of the year. Our February 2022 outlook assumed commodity cost increases would begin to dissipate late in the year. We have increased our 2022 sales range to $9,850 - $10,350. The $225 increase reflects slightly improved global market demand and additional commodity recoveries relative to our February 2022 outlook. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is now expected to be 8.1%, 80 basis-points lower than 2021, reflecting higher margin net new business and a modest benefit from material recovery and other pricing actions being more than offset by continued commodity cost increases and non-material inflation, including higher labor, energy, and transportation rates. We now expect to generate adjusted free cash flow of approximately $215, or 2% of sales for 2022, reflecting the benefit of year-over-year higher adjusted EBITDA, at the mid point of the range, and lower year-over-year use of cash for working capital. We continue to expect capital spending will be flat in comparison with 2021.

Sales in 2022 were $217 higher than in 2021. Weaker international currencies decreased sales by $55, principally due to a weaker euro, Thai baht and Indian rupee, partially offset by a stronger Brazilian real and Chinese renminbi. The organic sales increase of $275, or 12%, resulted from improved heavy-vehicle market demand and the conversion of sales backlog. Pricing actions and recoveries, including material commodity price and inflationary cost adjustments, increased sales by $160.
The North America organic sales increase of 6% was driven principally by stronger medium- and heavy-duty truck production volumes, higher light-vehicle engine production levels and the conversion of sales backlog, partially offset by lower light-duty truck production volumes. First quarter 2022 Classes 5-7 and Class 8 truck production were up 4% and 2%, respectively, while light-vehicle engine production was up 2% compared with the first quarter of 2021. Year-over-year full-frame light-truck production was down 1% in the first quarter of 2022. Excluding currency effects, sales in Europe were up 17% compared with 2021. With our significant Off-Highway presence in the region, stronger construction/mining and agricultural markets were a major factor. Organic sales in this operating segment were up 23% compared with the first quarter of 2021. A 1% decrease in year-over-year light-duty truck production levels and a 12% decrease in year-over-year light-vehicle engine production levels tempered our organic European sales increase. Excluding currency effects, first quarter 2022 sales in South America increased 39% compared to 2021 due primarily to improved light- and medium/heavy-duty truck production. First quarter light-duty truck production was up 9% and medium/heavy-duty truck production was up 26%. Excluding currency effects and the impact of divestitures, sales in Asia Pacific increased 12% compared to 2021 due to a stronger construction/mining market.
Cost of sales and gross margin — Cost of sales for the first quarter of 2022 increased $271, or 13%, when compared to 2021. Cost of sales as a percent of sales was 320 basis points higher than in the previous year. Incremental margins provided by increased sales volumes were more than offset by higher year-over-year commodity costs of $138, non-material inflationary cost impacts of $70 and operational inefficiencies primarily attributable to continued global supply chain disruptions and frequent customer order changes made with little to no advance notification. Commodity cost increases are being driven by higher prices for certain grades of steel and aluminum. Non-material inflation includes higher labor, energy and transportation rates. Continued material cost savings provided a partial offset, reducing costs of sales by approximately $19.
Gross margin of $197 for the first quarter of 2022 decreased $54 from 2021. Gross margin as a percent of sales was 7.9% in the first quarter of 2022, 320 basis points lower than in 2021. The degradation in gross margin as a percent of sales was driven principally by the cost of sales factors referenced above. In addition, gross margin during 2022 was negatively impacted by material cost recovery mechanisms with our customers lagging material costs increases charged by our suppliers by approximately 90 days.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) — SG&A expenses in 2022 were $130 (5.2% of sales) as compared to $119 (5.3% of sales) in 2021. SG&A expenses were $11 higher in 2022 primarily due to higher salaried employee wages and benefits, increased trade show and marketing activities, and higher travel expenses and professional fees.
Amortization of intangibles — Amortization expense was $4 in both 2022 and 2021.
Restructuring charges, net — Net restructuring charges were ($1) in the first quarter of 2022 and $1 in the first quarter of 2021.

Strategic transaction expenses relate primarily to costs incurred in connection with acquisition and divestiture related activities, including costs to complete the transaction and post-closing integration costs, and other strategic initiatives. Strategic transaction expenses in 2022 were primarily attributable to investigating potential acquisitions and business ventures and other strategic initiatives. Strategic transaction expenses in 2021 were primarily attributable to our pursuit of the acquisition of a portion of the thermal-management business of Modine Manufacturing Company and certain other strategic initiatives.
We held convertible notes receivable from our investment in Hyliion Inc. On October 1, 2020, Hyliion Inc. completed its merger with Tortoise Acquisition Corp. The business combination resulted in the combined company being renamed Hyliion Holdings Corp. (Hyliion), with its common stock being listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol HYLN. Effective with the completed merger, our notes receivable were converted into 2,988,229 common shares of HYLN. Our investment in Hyliion was included in marketable securities and carried at fair value with changes in fair value included in net income. During the third quarter of 2021, we sold all of our Hyliion shares. See Note 11 for additional information.
In conjunction with our acquisition of ODS, we acquired a controlling financial interest in a joint venture in China. We were required to divest our interest in this joint venture as it violates competitive restrictions of another of our China joint venture shareholder agreements. During the first quarter of 2021, we recorded an impairment charge of $7, as we determined the carrying value of the disposal group exceeded its fair value less costs to sell. We completed the disposal of this business in April 2021.
Interest income and interest expense — Interest income was $2 in both 2022 and 2021. Interest expense decreased from $34 in 2021 to $31 in 2022, primarily due to lower interest rates on outstanding borrowings, partially offset by higher debt levels. Average effective interest rates, inclusive of amortization of debt issuance costs, approximated 4.6% in 2022 and 5.5% in 2021.
Income tax expense — We reported income tax expense of $18 and $22 for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rates were 49% and 29% for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021. Our effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to establishment, release and adjustment of valuation allowances in several countries outside the U.S., different statutory tax rates outside the U.S. and withholding taxes related to repatriations of international earnings. The effective income tax rate may vary significantly due to fluctuations in the amounts and sources, both foreign and domestic, of pretax income and changes in the amounts of nondeductible expenses.
Equity in earnings of affiliates — Net earnings from equity investments was $1 in 2022 and $14 in 2021. Equity in earnings from DDAC was $1 in 2022 and $13 in 2021. The decrease in DDAC's earnings is due to lower year-over-year sales driven by significant 2021 medium- and heavy-duty vehicle pre-buy activity in advance of new emission standards going into effect in China and Chinese government incentives driving new construction and infrastructure projects in 2021, increasing the demand for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.

Light Vehicle sales in the first quarter of 2022, exclusive of currency effects, the impact of divestitures and the product line transfer to Commercial Vehicle, were 3% higher than 2021 reflecting generally weaker global markets being partially offset by the conversion of sales backlog. Year-over-year North America full-frame light-truck production decreased 1% while light-truck production in Europe and Asia Pacific decreased 1% and 2%, respectively, and light-truck production in South America increased 9%. Net customer pricing and cost recovery actions increased year-over-year sales by $56.
Light Vehicle first-quarter segment EBITDA decreased by $69 in 2022. Lower sales volumes decreased year-over-year earnings by $9 (35% decremental margin). The year-over-year performance-related earnings decrease was driven by commodity cost increases of $61, inflationary cost increases of $20, higher program launch costs of $2, higher premium freight costs of $2 and operational inefficiencies of $37. Partially offsetting these performance-related decreases were net customer pricing and cost recovery actions of $56, material cost savings of $7 and lower warranty costs of $1.

Power Technologies primarily serves the light-vehicle market but also sells product to the medium/heavy-truck and off-highway markets. Power Technologies sales in the first quarter of 2022, exclusive of currency effects, were 3% higher than 2021 reflecting generally weaker global markets partially offset by the conversion of sales backlog. Year-over-year Europe, South America and Asia Pacific light-vehicle engine production was down 12%, 11% and 3% compared to 2021. Year-over-year North America light-vehicle engine production was up 2% compared to 2021. Net customer pricing and cost recovery actions increased year-over-year sales by $10.
Power Technologies first-quarter segment EBITDA decreased by $12 in 2022. Lower sales volumes had a negligible impact on earnings. The year-over-year performance-related decrease was driven by commodity cost increases of $14, inflationary cost increases of $5, higher warranty costs of $1, higher program launch costs of $1 and operational inefficiencies of $2. Partially offsetting these performance-related decreases were net customer pricing and cost recovery actions of $10, material cost savings of $1 and lower premium freight costs of $1.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
We have defined adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, equity grant expense, restructuring expense, non-service cost components of pension and other postretirement benefits (OPEB) costs and other adjustments not related to our core operations (gain/loss on debt extinguishment, pension settlements, divestitures, impairment, etc.). Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of our ability to maintain and continue to invest in our operations and provide shareholder returns. We use adjusted EBITDA in assessing the effectiveness of our business strategies, evaluating and pricing potential acquisitions and as a factor in making incentive compensation decisions. In addition to its use by management, we also believe adjusted EBITDA is a measure widely used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate financial performance of our company relative to other Tier 1 automotive suppliers. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for earnings before income taxes, net income or other results reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
We have defined free cash flow as cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. We have defined adjusted free cash flow as cash provided by (used in) operating activities excluding discretionary pension contributions less purchases of property, plant and equipment. We believe these measures are useful to investors in evaluating the operational cash flow of the company inclusive of the spending required to maintain the operations. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are not intended to represent nor be an alternative to the measure of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The following table reconciles net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities to adjusted free cash flow.

Cash deposits are maintained to provide credit enhancement for certain agreements and are reported as part of cash and cash equivalents. For most of these deposits, the cash may be withdrawn if a comparable security is provided in the form of letters of credit. Accordingly, these deposits are not considered to be restricted. Marketable securities are included as a component of liquidity as these investments can be readily liquidated at our discretion. We had availability of $864 at March 31, 2022 under the Revolving Facility after deducting $265 of outstanding borrowings and $21 of outstanding letters of credit.

A portion of the non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents is utilized for working capital and other operating purposes. Several countries have local regulatory requirements that restrict the ability of our operations to repatriate this cash. Beyond these restrictions, there are practical limitations on repatriation of cash from certain subsidiaries because of the resulting tax withholdings and subsidiary by-law restrictions which could limit our ability to access cash and other assets.
At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants of our financing agreements. Under the Revolving Facility and our senior notes, we are required to comply with certain incurrence-based covenants customary for facilities of these types. The incurrence-based covenants in the Revolving Facility permit us to, among other things, (i) issue foreign subsidiary indebtedness, (ii) incur general secured indebtedness subject to a pro forma first lien net leverage ratio not to exceed 1.50:1.00 in the case of first lien debt and a pro forma secured net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00 in the case of other secured debt and (iii) incur additional unsecured debt subject to a pro forma total net leverage ratio not to exceed 3.50:1.00, tested at the time of incurrence. We may also make dividend payments in respect of our common stock as well as certain investments and acquisitions subject to a pro forma total net leverage ratio of 2.75:1.00. In addition, the Revolving Facility is subject to a financial covenant requiring us to maintain a first lien net leverage ratio not to exceed 2.00:1.00. The indentures governing the senior notes include other incurrence-based covenants that may subject us to additional specified limitations.
From time to time, depending upon market, pricing and other conditions, as well as our cash balances and liquidity, we may seek to acquire our senior notes or other indebtedness or our common stock through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine (or as may be provided for in the indentures governing the notes), for cash, securities or other consideration. In addition, we may enter into sale-leaseback transactions related to certain of our real estate holdings and factor receivables. There can be no assurance that we will pursue any such transactions in the future, as the pursuit of any alternative will depend upon numerous factors such as market conditions, our financial performance and the limitations applicable to such transactions under our financing and governance documents.
The principal sources of liquidity available for our future cash requirements are expected to be (i) cash flows from operations, (ii) cash and cash equivalents on hand and (iii) borrowings from our Revolving Facility. We believe that our overall liquidity and operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for capital expenditures, working capital, debt obligations and other commitments during the next twelve months. While uncertainty surrounding the current economic environment could adversely impact our business, based on our current financial position, we believe it is unlikely that any such effects would preclude us from maintaining sufficient liquidity.

Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash |
$ | (9 | ) | $ | (62 | ) |
Operating activities — Exclusive of working capital, other cash provided by operations was $90 in 2022 and $160 in 2021. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to lower operating earnings.
Working capital used cash of $211 and $133 in 2022 and 2021. Cash of $325 and $257 was used to finance receivables in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The higher level of cash used to finance receivables in 2022 is due to higher year-over-year first quarter sales driven by strong heavy-vehicles markets. Cash of $63 and $137 was used to fund higher inventory levels in 2022 and 2021, respectively. We are carrying higher levels of inventory to mitigate continued global-supply-chain disruptions, ensuring continuous supply for our customers. Increases in accounts payable and other net liabilities provided cash of $177 and $261 in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in accounts payable and other net liabilities in 2022 was principally driven by higher raw material purchases in the first quarter of 2022.
Investing activities — Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $116 and $53 during first quarter of 2022 and 2021. The increase in capital spending during the first quarter of 2022 is in support of awarded next generation programs and new business. During the first quarter of 2021, we paid $17, net of cash acquired, to acquire an additional 51% interest in Pi Innovo. The acquisition of the additional ownership interest provided us with a 100% ownership interest in Pi Innovo. During the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, purchases of marketable securities were largely funded by proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities.
Financing activities — During the first quarter of 2022, we had net borrowings of $265 on our Revolving Facility. During the first quarter of 2021 we paid financing costs of $2 to amend our credit and guaranty agreement, increasing our Revolving Facility to $1,150 and extending its maturity to March 25, 2026. We used cash of $14 for dividend payments to common stockholders during both the first quarter of 2022 and 2021. We used cash of $25 to repurchase common shares under our share repurchase program during the first quarter of 2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There have been no material changes at March 31, 2022 in our off-balance sheet arrangements from those reported or estimated in the disclosures in Item 7 of our 2021 Form 10-K.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in Item 7 of our 2021 Form 10-K.
Contingencies
For a summary of litigation and other contingencies, see Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I. Based on information available to us at the present time, we do not believe that any liabilities beyond the amounts already accrued that may result from these contingencies will have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to use estimates and make judgments and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosures. See Item 7 in our 2021 Form 10-K for a description of our critical accounting estimates and Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2021 Form 10-K for our significant accounting policies. There were no changes to our critical accounting estimates in the three months ended March 31, 2022. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of new accounting guidance adopted during the first three months of 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to market risk exposures related to changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates or commodity costs from those discussed in Item 7A of our 2021 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures — We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information disclosed in the reports we file with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting — There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
CEO and CFO certifications — The certifications of our CEO and CFO that are attached to this report as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 include information about our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. These certifications should be read in conjunction with the information contained in this Item 4 and in Item 9A of Part II of our 2021 Form 10-K for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by the certifications.
We are a party to various pending judicial and administrative proceedings that arose in the ordinary course of business. After reviewing the currently pending lawsuits and proceedings (including the probable outcomes, reasonably anticipated costs and expenses and our established reserves for uninsured liabilities), we do not believe that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. Legal proceedings are also discussed in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q.
The risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K have been updated to include the following additional risk factor:
Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. In response, the U.S. and certain other countries imposed significant sanctions and export controls against Russia, Belarus and certain individuals and entities connected to Russian or Belarusian political, business, and financial organizations, and the U.S. and certain other countries could impose further sanctions, trade restrictions, and other retaliatory actions should the conflict continue or worsen. It is not possible to predict the broader consequences of the conflict, including related geopolitical tensions, and the measures and retaliatory actions taken by the U.S. and other countries in respect thereof as well as any counter measures or retaliatory actions by Russia or Belarus in response, including, for example, potential cyberattacks or the disruption of energy exports, is likely to cause regional instability, geopolitical shifts, and could materially adversely affect regional economies and the global economy. The situation remains uncertain, and while it is difficult to predict the impact of any of the foregoing, the conflict and actions taken in response to the conflict could increase our costs, disrupt our supply chain, reduce our sales and earnings, or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our 2021 revenue from customers located in these countries was approximately $75. Our physical presence in Russia is limited to a leased sales office with two employees.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer's purchases of equity securities — On February 16, 2021 our Board of Directors approved an extension of our existing common stock share repurchase program through December 31, 2023. Approximately $102 remained available under the program for future share repurchases as of March 31, 2022. We repurchase shares utilizing available excess cash either in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Stock repurchases are subject to prevailing market conditions and other considerations. Under the program, we used cash of $25 to repurchase 1,483,742 shares of our common stock during the first quarter of 2022.
