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, 2022 (the 2022 Form 10-K). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

 

On January 1, 2023 we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-04, Supplier Finance Programs which requires annual and interim disclosures for entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. Adoption of this new standard did not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. Certain of our subsidiaries have entered into paying agency agreements with third-party administrators. These voluntary supply chain finance programs generally give participating suppliers the ability to sell, or otherwise pledge as collateral, their receivables from Dana to the participating financial institutions, at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and financial institutions. Dana is not a party to the arrangements between the suppliers and the financial institutions. Dana’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions to sell, or otherwise pledge as collateral, amounts under these arrangements. Dana's payment terms to the financial institutions, including the timing and amount of payments, are based on the original supplier invoices. As of  June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $65 and $81, respectively, of confirmed obligations presented as accounts payable within total current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. 

 

We also adopted the following standard during the first six months of 2023, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements or financial statement disclosures:

Note 3. 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. Restructuring expense includes costs associated with current and previously announced actions and is comprised of contractual and noncontractual separation costs and exit costs.

Note 5. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Common stock — Our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of ten cents per share of common stock in the first and second quarters of 2023. 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 June 30, 2023.

Note 6. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

 

Hydro-Québec owns a 45% redeemable noncontrolling interest in Dana TM4 Inc., Dana TM4 Electric Holdings BV and Dana TM4 USA, LLC. The terms of the joint venture agreement provide Hydro-Québec with the right to put all, and not less than all, of its ownership interests in Dana TM4 Inc., Dana TM4 Electric Holdings BV and Dana TM4 USA, LLC to Dana at fair value.

 

Redeemable noncontrolling interests reflected as of the balance sheet date are the greater of the redeemable noncontrolling interest balances adjusted for comprehensive income (loss) items and distributions or the redemption value. 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 2.0 million and 0.6 million CSEs from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022 and excluded 0.3 million and 0.4 million of CSEs for the respective year-to-date periods as the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 8. Stock Compensation

 

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the grant of RSUs and performance share units (PSUs) shown in the table below during 2023

 

  

Granted

  

Grant Date

 
  

(In millions)

  

Fair Value*

 

RSUs

  1.2  $18.44 

PSUs

  0.6  $19.56 

* Weighted-average per share

 

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 three-year performance period. The risk-free interest rate of 4.28% was based on U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates at the grant date. The dividend yield of 2.5% 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 67.0% was based on observed historical volatility of daily stock returns for the 3-year period preceding the grant date. 

 

During 2023, we paid $5 of cash to settle RSUs and issued 1.2 million shares of common stock based on the vesting of RSUs. We recognized stock compensation expense of $8 and $4 during the second quarters of 2023 and 2022 and expense of $14 and $8 during the respective year-to-date periods. At June 30, 2023, 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 2.0 years.

 

 

Note 9. Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

 

We have a number of defined contribution and defined benefit, qualified and nonqualified, pension plans covering eligible employees. Other postretirement benefits (OPEB), including medical and life insurance, are provided for certain employees upon retirement.

Senior notes activity — On May 24, 2023, Dana Financing Luxembourg S.à.r.l. (Dana Financing), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dana, completed the sale of €425 ($458 as of May 24, 2023) in senior unsecured notes ( July 2031 Notes) at 8.500%. The July 2031 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Dana. The July 2031 Notes were issued through a private placement and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The July 2031 Notes were offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and, outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The July 2031 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, 2024. The July 2031 Notes will mature on July 15, 2031. Net proceeds of the offering totaled €419 ($451 as of May 24, 2023). Financing costs of €6 ($7 as of May 24, 2023) 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 $200 of our April 2025 Notes and to make payments against borrowings on our Revolving Facility. On June 9, 2023 we redeemed $200 of our April 2025 Notes at a price equal to 100.00% plus accrued and unpaid interest. The $1 loss on extinguishment of debt is comprised of the write-off of previously deferred financing costs associated with the April 2025 Notes.

 

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:

At any time prior to July 15, 2024, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the July 2029 Notes in an amount not to exceed the amount of proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, provided that at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the July 2029 Notes remain outstanding after the redemption.  Prior to July 15, 2024, we may also redeem some or all of the July 2029 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date plus a “make-whole” premium. We have not separated the make-whole premium from the underlying debt instrument to account for it as a derivative instrument as the economic characteristics and the risks of this embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the underlying debt.

 

At any time prior to May 1, 2024, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the September 2030 Notes in an amount not to exceed the amount of proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a price equal to 104.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, provided that at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the September 2030 Notes remains outstanding after the redemption. Prior to May 1, 2026, we may redeem some or all of the September 2030 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date plus a “make-whole” premium. We have not separated the make-whole premium from the underlying debt instrument to account for it as a derivative instrument as the economic characteristics and the risks of this embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the underlying debt.

 

At any time prior to July 15, 2026, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the July 2031 Notes in an amount not to exceed the amount of proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a price equal to 108.500% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, provided that at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the July 2031 Notes remain outstanding after the redemption.  Prior to July 15, 2026, we may also redeem some or all of the July 2031 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date plus a “make-whole” premium. We have not separated the make-whole premium from the underlying debt instrument to account for it as a derivative instrument as the economic characteristics and the risks of this embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the underlying debt.

 

At any time prior to February 15, 2025, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the February 2032 Notes in an amount not to exceed the amount of proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a price equal to 104.500% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, provided that at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the February 2032 Notes remains outstanding after the redemption. Prior to February 15, 2027, we may redeem some or all of the February 2032 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date plus a “make-whole” premium. We have not separated the make-whole premium from the underlying debt instrument to account for it as a derivative instrument as the economic characteristics and the risks of this embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the underlying debt.

 

Credit agreement — On March 14, 2023, we amended our credit and guaranty agreement, extending its maturity to March 14, 2028. We recorded deferred fees of $2 related to the amendment. The deferred fees are being amortized over the life of the Revolving 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.

 

16

 

Advances under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate based on, at our option, the base rate or the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") (each as described in the credit agreement) plus a margin as set forth below:

 

  

Margin

 

Total Net Leverage Ratio

 

Base Rate

  

SOFR 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%

  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 SOFR 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  June 30, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility but we had utilized $16 for letters of credit. We had availability at June 30, 2023 under the Revolving Facility of $1,134 after deducting the outstanding letters of credit.

 

Debt covenants — At June 30, 2023, 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 11. Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives

 

In measuring the fair value of our assets and liabilities, we use market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability including assumptions about risk when appropriate. Our valuation techniques include a combination of observable and unobservable inputs.

 

Fair value measurements on a recurring basis — Assets and liabilities that are carried in our balance sheet at fair value are as follows:

Foreign currency derivatives — Our foreign currency derivatives include forward contracts associated with forecasted transactions, primarily involving the purchases and sales of inventory, 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 fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps is recognized during each period as a component of interest expense for hedges of external debt and as a component of other income (expense), net for hedges of intercompany debt.

Undesignated Offset 2026 Swap

           169  $188   3.13%  6.50%

 

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 10 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.

 

The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts, involving the exchange of various currencies, was $662 at June 30, 2023 and $608 at December 31, 2022. The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency swaps, including the fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps, was $975 at June 30, 2023 and $967 at December 31, 2022.

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:

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 12. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Product liabilities — Accrued product liability costs were de minimis at June 30, 2023 and de minimis at December 31, 2022. Amounts recognized as recoverable from third parties were de minimis at June 30, 2023 and de minimis at December 31, 2022. 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 $6 at June 30, 2023 and $8 at December 31, 2022. 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.

 

 

Note 13. Warranty Obligations

 

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.

Note 14. Income Taxes

 

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 $55 and $18 for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022 and income tax expense of $85 and $36 for the respective year-to-date periods. Our effective tax rates were 57% and 55% for the first six months of 2023 and 2022. During the second quarter of 2023, we recorded tax expense of $19 for income tax reserves associated with prior tax years in foreign jurisdictions.  Excluding this item, the effective tax rate would have been 44% for the 2023 six-month period.  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.

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 2023 and 2022 were primarily attributable to investigating potential acquisitions and business ventures and other strategic initiatives.

 

 

Note 16. 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 $6 and $7 recorded in other current assets and $36 and $28 recorded in other noncurrent assets at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

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 13 for additional information.

 

21

 

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 $48 and $48 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Contract liabilities are included in other accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

Forward-Looking Information

 

Statements in this report (or otherwise made by us or on our behalf) that are not entirely historical constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “projects,” “outlook,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing” and similar expressions, variations or negatives of these words. These statements represent the present expectations of Dana Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries (Dana) based on our current information and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Our plans, actions and actual results could differ materially from our present expectations due to a number of factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

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 $25 and $23 of cash to repurchase common shares under the program in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The share repurchase program expires on December 31, 2023, and $102 remains available for future share repurchases as of June 30, 2023.

 

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 $464 of senior notes comes due in any calendar year, with no maturities until the second quarter of 2025. We have a $1,150 revolving credit facility that matures on March 14, 2028. See Note 10 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 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 TM4 Inc. (TM4), S.M.E. S.p.A. (SME), Prestolite E-Propulsion Systems (Beijing) Limited (PEPS), Ashwoods Innovations Limited (Ashwoods), 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. Our strategic partner, Hydro-Québec, owns 45% redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Dana TM4 joint venture entities. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information.

 

 

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; cost and availability of end customer financing; 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. During 2022, we continued to see incremental improvements across our end markets despite continuing, but lessening, global supply chain disruptions.

 

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. During 2022, light-truck markets improved across all regions and were up 6% on a global basis compared to 2021. The outlook for the full year of 2023 reflects global light-truck production being relatively stable across all regions, as production constraints continue to ease, vehicle inventories return 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. During 2022, production of Class-8 trucks in North America increased 24% over 2021 reflecting increased demand driven by strong transport and construction activity resulting from higher freight volumes and rates and increased fleet utilization levels. The strong demand was muted by continued global supply chain disruptions. The outlook for 2023 is for continued strong demand with production slightly above 2022 levels driven by solid order backlogs. Medium-duty truck production in North America experienced a modest 3% year-over-year increase from 2021 to 2022. The outlook for 2023 is for a slight increase in production over the prior year. Outside of North America, production of medium- and heavy-duty trucks in South America declined 3% in 2022 as demand moderated following a significant ramp up in production in 2021 with the dissipation of the COVID pandemic in the region. The 2023 outlook for South America is for a 25% decrease in production from 2022, reflecting the impact of lower year-over-year demand resulting from higher borrowing rates and 2022 pre-buy activity in advance of transition to the Euro 6 emission standard. Production of medium- and heavy-duty trucks in Asia Pacific, driven by China and India, decreased 27% in 2022 compared to 2021 due to China experiencing COVID outbreaks in certain regions and India’s continued struggles to recover from the pandemic. The 2023 outlook for Asia Pacific is for a modest increase in production from the prior year driven by the market recovery in India gaining traction.

 

Off-highway markets — Our off-highway business has a large presence outside of North America, with 66% of its 2022 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. The global construction equipment market continued to rebound in 2022 with production up 10% over the prior year. The outlook for 2023 is for continued modest growth. 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 2023. 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. Farm commodity price increases in 2022 spurred a 6% increase in agriculture equipment production. The outlook for 2023 is for global end-market demand to decrease slightly compared with the prior year.

 

 

Foreign currency — With 57% of our first half 2023 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 52% of our first half 2023 non-U.S. sales, while India, Brazil and China accounted for 10%, 8% and 8%, respectively. 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 including the euro, Indian rupee, Chinese renminbi and South African rand, weakened against the U.S. dollar in the first half of 2023, decreasing sales by $96.

 

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 half of 2023 of approximately $83 are 2% of our consolidated sales and our net asset exposure related to Argentina was approximately $53, including $20 of net fixed assets, at June 30, 2023. 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. Higher commodity prices decreased year-over-year earnings by $447 in 2022. Material recovery pricing actions increased year-over-year earnings by $446 in 2022. Lower commodity prices increased earnings during the second quarter and first half of 2023 by $27 and $35, respectively. Material cost recovery pricing actions increased earnings in the second quarter and first half of 2023 by $10 and $15, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA and 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.

 

Our 2023 sales outlook is $10,450 to $10,950, reflecting a modest improvement in global market demand, continued material and inflationary cost recoveries and $300 of net new business backlog. At our current sales outlook for 2023, we expect full year 2023 adjusted EBITDA to approximate $800 to $900. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is expected to be 7.9% at the midpoint of our guidance range, a 100 basis-point improvement over 2022, reflecting higher margin net new business and the benefit of material cost recoveries as commodity costs begin to abate being partially offset by continued operational inefficiencies, driven by continuing global supply chain disruptions and customer order volatility, and increased investment to support our electrification strategy. We expect to generate free cash flow of approximately $75 at the midpoint of our guidance range reflecting the benefit of higher year-over-year adjusted EBITDA being largely offset by higher capital spending to support new business and our continued investment in our electrification strategy.

Sales in the second quarter of 2023 were $162 higher than in 2022. Weaker international currencies decreased sales by $21, principally due to a weaker South African rand, Indian rupee and Chinese renminbi, partially offset by a stronger euro. The organic sales increase of $183, or 7%, resulted from improved global construction/mining equipment markets, improved commercial vehicle demand primarily in North America and Europe, higher global light-truck and light-vehicle engine production and the conversion of sales backlog. Pricing actions and recoveries, including material commodity price and inflationary cost adjustments, increased sales by $126.

 

The North America organic sales decrease of 1% was driven principally by a full-frame light-truck customer program that ended in 2022, partially offset by stronger light- and heavy-duty truck production volumes, higher light-vehicle engine production levels and the conversion of sales backlog. Second quarter 2023 full-frame light-truck production was up 6% while light-vehicle engine production was up 18% compared to the second quarter of 2022. Year-over-year Class 8 truck production was up 11% while Classes 5-7 truck production was down 2%. Excluding currency effects, sales in Europe were up 20% compared with 2022. With our significant Off-Highway presence in the region, a stronger construction/mining equipment market was a major factor. Organic sales in this operating segment were up 10% compared with the second quarter of 2022. Sales in Europe also benefited from higher year-over-year light-truck and medium/heavy-truck production of 17% and 14%, respectively. Excluding currency effects, second quarter sales in South America were 10% lower than 2022 reflecting lower medium/heavy-truck production. Year-over-year South America medium/heavy-truck production was 30% lower than the second quarter of 2022. Excluding currency effects, sales in Asia Pacific increased 15% compared to 2022 due to a strong construction/mining equipment market and higher light-truck production volumes.

 

 

Cost of sales and gross margin — Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2023 increased $74, or 3%, when compared to 2022. Cost of sales as a percent of sales was 280 basis points lower than in the previous year. Incremental margins provided by increased sales volumes, material cost savings of $32, lower commodity costs of $27, lower premium freight of $14 and lower spending on electrification initiatives of $1 were partially offset by non-material inflationary cost impacts of $84, higher warranty expense of $2, higher program launch costs of $9 and operational inefficiencies primarily attributed to continued global supply chain disruptions and frequent customer order changes made with little to no advance notification. Commodity costs are primarily driven by certain grades of steel and aluminum. Non-material inflation includes higher labor, energy and transportation rates.

 

Gross margin of $271 for the second quarter of 2023 increased $88 from 2022. Gross margin as a percent of sales was 9.9% in the second quarter of 2023, 280 basis points higher than in 2022. The improvement in gross margin as a percent of sales was driven principally by the cost of sales factors referenced above. Material cost recovery mechanisms with our customers lag material cost changes by our suppliers by approximately 90 days. With commodity costs abating slightly during the second quarter of 2023, gross margin was positively impacted by net material cost recoveries on both a dollar and percentage basis. The recovery of non-material inflation is not specifically provided for in our current contracts with customers resulting in prolonged negotiations and indeterminate recoveries.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) — SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2023 were $144 (5.2% of sales) as compared to $130 (5.0% of sales) in the second quarter of 2022. SG&A expenses were $14 higher in the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher salaried employee wages and incentive compensation and increased software technology investments.

 

Amortization of intangibles — Amortization expense was $4 in the second quarter of 2023 and $3 in the second quarter of 2022. See Note 2 for additional information.

 

Restructuring charges, net — Net restructuring charges were $3 in the second quarter of 2023 and $1 in the second quarter of 2022. See Note 3 for additional information.

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 the second quarter of 2023 and 2022 were primarily attributable to investigating potential acquisitions and business ventures and other strategic initiatives.

 

Loss on extinguishment of debt — On June 9, 2023 we redeemed $200 of our April 2025 Notes. The $1 loss on extinguishment of debt is comprised of the write-off of previously deferred financing costs associated with the April 2025 Notes. See Note 10 for additional information.

 

Interest income and interest expense — Interest income was $5 in the second quarter of 2023 and $2 in the second quarter of 2022. Interest expense increased from $32 in the second quarter of 2022 to $39 in the second quarter of 2023, due to higher average debt levels and higher interest rates on outstanding borrowings. Average effective interest rates, inclusive of amortization of debt issuance costs, approximated 5.5% in the second quarter of 2023 and 4.6% in the second quarter of 2022.

 

Income tax expense — We reported income tax expense of $55 and $18 the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our effective tax rates were 62% and 62% for the second quarter of 2023 and 2022. During the second quarter of 2023, we recorded tax expense of $19 for income tax reserves associated with prior tax years in foreign jurisdictions. Excluding this item, the effective tax rate would have been 40% for the second quarter of 2023. 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 (loss) from equity investments was earnings of $2 in the second quarter of 2023 and a loss of $1 in the second quarter of 2022. Net earnings (loss) from DDAC were de minimis in the second quarter of 2023 and a loss of $3 in the second quarter of 2022.

Sales in 2023 were $326 higher than in 2022. Weaker international currencies decreased sales by $96, principally due to a weaker euro, Indian rupee, South African rand and Chinese renminbi. The organic sales increase of $422, or 8%, resulted from improved global construction/mining equipment markets, improved commercial vehicle demand primarily in North America and Europe, higher global light-truck and light-vehicle engine production and the conversion of sales backlog. Pricing actions and recoveries, including material commodity price and inflationary cost adjustments, increased sales by $236.

 

The North America organic sales increase of 1% was driven principally by stronger light-, medium- and heavy-duty truck production volumes, higher light-vehicle engine production levels and the conversion of sales backlog, largely offset by a full-frame light-truck customer program that ended in 2022. First half 2023 full-frame light-truck production was up 5% while light-vehicle engine production was up 16% compared to the first half of 2022. Year-over-year Class 8 truck production was up 14% while Classes 5-7 truck production was up 7%. Excluding currency effects, sale in Europe were up 21% compared with 2022. With our significant Off-Highway presence in the region, a stronger construction/mining equipment market was a major factor. Organic sales in this operating segment were up 14% compared with the first half of 2022. Sales in Europe also benefited from higher year-over-year light-truck and medium/heavy-truck production of 20% and 19%, respectively. Excluding currency effects, first half sales in South America were 6% lower than 2022 reflecting lower medium/heavy-truck production. Year-over-year South America medium/heavy-truck production was 25% lower than the first half of 2022. Excluding currency effects, sales in Asia Pacific increased 16% compared to 2022 due to a strong construction/mining equipment market and higher light-truck production volumes.

 

 

Cost of sales and gross margin — Cost of sales for the first six months of 2023 increased $206, or 4%, when compared to 2022. Cost of sales as a percent of sales was 180 basis points lower than in the previous year. Incremental margins provided by increased sales volumes, material cost savings of $61, lower commodity costs of $35, lower premium freight of $21 and lower spending on electrification initiatives of $8 were partially offset by non-material inflationary cost impacts of $180, higher warranty expense of $14, higher program launch costs of $18 and operational inefficiencies primarily attributed to continued global supply chain disruptions and frequent customer order changes made with little to no advance notification. Commodity cost are primarily driven by certain grades of steel and aluminum. Non-material inflation includes higher labor, energy and transportation rates.

 

Gross margin of $500 for the first six months of 2023 increased $120 from 2022. Gross margin as a percent of sales was 9.3% in the first six months of 2023, 180 basis points higher than in 2022. The improvement in gross margin as a percent of sales was driven principally by the cost of sales factors referenced above. Material cost recovery mechanisms with our customers lag material cost changes by our suppliers by approximately 90 days. With commodity costs abating slightly during the first half of 2023, gross margin was positively impacted by net material cost recoveries on both a dollar and percentage basis. The recovery of non-material inflation is not specifically provided for in our current contracts with customers resulting in prolonged negotiations and indeterminate recoveries.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) — SG&A expenses in 2023 were $284 (5.3% of sales) as compared to $260 (5.1% of sales) in 2022. SG&A expenses were $24 higher in 2023 primarily due to higher salaried employee wages and incentive compensation, increased software technology investments and travel expenses.

 

Amortization of intangibles — Amortization expense was $7 in both 2023 and 2022. See Note 2 for additional information.

 

Restructuring charges, net — Net restructuring charges were $4 in the first six months of 2023. See Note 3 for additional information.

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 2023 and 2022 were primarily attributable to investigating potential acquisitions and business ventures and other strategic initiatives.

 

Loss on extinguishment of debt — On June 9, 2023 we redeemed $200 of our April 2025 Notes. The $1 loss on extinguishment of debt is comprised of the write-off of previously deferred financing costs associated with the April 2025 Notes. See Note 10 for additional information.

 

Interest income and interest expense — Interest income was $9 in 2023 and $4 in 2022. Interest expense increased from $63 in 2022 to $73 in 2023, due to higher average debt levels and higher interest rates on outstanding borrowings. Average effective interest rates, inclusive of amortization of debt issuance costs, approximated 5.3% in 2023 and 4.6% in 2022.

 

Income tax expense — We reported income tax expense of $85 and $36 for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our effective tax rates were 57% and 55% for the first six months of 2023 and 2022. During the second quarter of 2023, we recorded tax expense of $19 for income tax reserves associated with prior tax years in foreign jurisdictions. Excluding this item, the effective tax rate would have been 44% for the 2023 six-month period. 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 $3 in 2023 and de minimis in 2022. Net earnings (loss) from DDAC was de minimis in 2023 and was a loss of $2 in 2022.

Light Vehicle sales in the second quarter of 2023, exclusive of currency effects, were 5% higher than 2022 reflecting stronger global markets, the conversion of sales backlog and the benefit of net customer pricing and cost recovery actions, partially offset by a customer program ending in 2022. Year-over-year North America full-frame light-truck production increased 6% in this year’s second quarter while light-truck production in Europe, South America and Asia Pacific increased 17%, 15% and 20%, respectively. Light Vehicle sales in the first half of 2023, exclusive of currency effects, were 2% higher than 2022 reflecting stronger global markets, the benefit of net customer pricing and cost recovery actions and the conversion of sales backlog, partially offset by a customer program ending in 2022. Year-over-year North America full-frame light-truck production increased 5% in this year’s first half while light-truck production in Europe, South America and Asia Pacific increased 20%, 17% and 13%, respectively. Net customer pricing and cost recovery actions increased year-over-year sales by $48 and $75 in this year’s second quarter and first half, respectively.

 

Light Vehicle second-quarter and first-half 2023 segment EBITDA increased $33 and $51, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2022. Higher sales volumes provided a year-over-year earnings benefit of $2 (50% incremental margin) in the second quarter of 2023. Lower sales volumes decreased year-over-year earnings by $7 (27% decremental margin) in the first half of 2023. Year-over-year performance-related earnings increases in the second quarter were driven by net customer pricing and cost recovery actions of $48, commodity cost decreases of $21, material cost savings of $11 and lower premium freight costs of $5. Partially offsetting these performance-related earnings increases were inflationary cost increases of $38, operational inefficiencies of $5, higher program launch costs of $4, higher incentive compensation of $4 and higher spending on electrification initiatives of $1. The year-over-year performance-related earnings increases in the first half were driven by net customer pricing and cost recovery actions of $75, commodity cost decreases of $44, material cost savings of $20, operational efficiencies of $13 and lower premium freight costs of $6. Partially offsetting these performance-related earnings increases were inflationary cost increases of $74, higher program launch costs of $8, higher warranty expense of $7 and higher incentive compensation expense of $6.

Commercial Vehicle second-quarter and first-half 2023 segment EBITDA increased $18 and $25 from the comparable periods of 2022. Year-over-year second-quarter earnings improved $3 on lower sales volumes due to improved product mix. Higher sales volumes provided a year-over-year earnings benefit of $10 (25% incremental margin) in the first half of 2023. Year-over-year performance-related earnings increases in the second quarter were driven by net customer pricing and cost recovery actions of $28, material cost savings of $8, lower spending on electrification initiatives of $4 and lower premium freight costs of $3. Partially offsetting these performance-related earnings increases were operational inefficiencies of $9, inflationary cost increases of $7, higher program launch costs of $4, commodity cost increases of $3, higher incentive compensation expense of $3 and higher warranty costs of $1. Year-over-year performance-related earnings increases in the first half were driven by net customer pricing and cost recovery of $51, material cost savings of $17, lower spending on electrification initiatives $13 and lower premium freight costs of $6.

Partially offsetting these performance-related decreases were net customer pricing and cost recovery actions of $27, material cost savings of $6 and lower premium freight costs of $2.

 

 

 

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

 

We have defined free cash flow as cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. We believe free cash flow is useful to investors in evaluating the operational cash flow of the company inclusive of the spending required to maintain the operations. Free cash flow is 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 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 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 $1,134 at June 30, 2023 under the Revolving Facility after deducting $16 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.

 

On March 14, 2023, we amended our credit and guaranty agreement, extending its maturity to March 14, 2028.

 

At June 30, 2023, 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.

  $ 50     $ 73  

 

Operating activities — Exclusive of working capital, other cash provided by operations was $258 in 2023 and $220 in 2022. The year-over-year increase is primarily attributable to higher operating earnings in 2023, partially offset by lower year-over-year dividends received from equity-method investments of $29.

 

Working capital used cash of $172 and $84 in 2023 and 2022. Cash of $246 and $323 was used to finance receivables in 2023 and 2022, respectively. The use of cash to finance receivables in both periods is primarily driven by second quarter sales exceeding first quarter sales in both years. Cash of $107 and $85 was used to fund higher inventory levels in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Increases in accounts payable and other net liabilities provided cash of $181 and $324 in 2023 and 2022, respectively.
