Dana Corporation Announces Year-End Results

    TOLEDO, Ohio, Feb. 13 Dana Corporation today
announced consolidated sales of $12.3 billion for the year ended Dec. 31,
2000, down 6 percent from 1999.  Operating income for the year was $377
million, or $2.46 per share.  After net non-recurring charges of $43 million,
reported net income for the year was $334 million, or $2.18 per share on a
diluted basis.  In 1999, operating income totaled $678 million ($4.07 per
share) and reported net income was $513 million ($3.08 per share) after non-
recurring charges.

     Sales for the fourth quarter of 2000 were $2.7 billion, down from
$3.2 billion for the same period last year.  Operating earnings were
$2 million, or one cent per share on a diluted basis.  The company also
reported net non-recurring charges of $86 million (58 cents per share),
compared to $144 million (87 cents per share) for the quarter in 1999.

    The fourth-quarter charges include a portion of the previously announced
charge recorded by the company's 49-percent-owned Venezuelan affiliate,
provisions for additional downsizing and plant closures, integration expenses,
and costs associated with exiting several lines of business.  As a result,
Dana reported a net loss of $84 million (57 cents per share) in the fourth
quarter, compared to break-even results during the same period in 1999.

    Dana's results during the fourth quarter continued to be impacted by a
number of broad issues that affected the industry as a whole.  These included
irregular and reduced production schedules for light trucks and sport utility
vehicles manufactured by several of Dana's largest customers, further
deterioration in the U.S. heavy truck market, continued aftermarket softness,
and weakness of the Euro.

    "While these are the same factors that affected us in the third quarter,
the severity of production cuts and their impact on Dana were much greater
during the fourth quarter," said Dana Chairman and CEO Joe Magliochetti.
"Despite the convergence of so many negative factors impacting the markets
that we serve, we will not allow ourselves to accept the kind of financial
results we saw this quarter.  We have taken and will continue to take decisive
actions to better position the company for the challenges we are facing in the
near term."
  Recent actions taken by the company include:

    - Workforce reductions totaling nearly 10,000 people;
    - Closure of 11 facilities worldwide;
    - Reduced capital spending except for new product support;
    - Intensified efforts to reduce working capital expenditures;
    - Consolidation of operations; and
    - Aggressive pursuit of supplier cost reductions via e-business
      initiatives.

    "We've talked a lot about our transformation strategy to strengthen Dana
for the longer term," Mr. Magliochetti said.  He noted that this involves:

    - Focusing on core businesses that meet financial and strategic goals;
    - Improving capital efficiency;
    - Enhancing technology and expanding proprietary products;
    - Rationalizing underperforming assets; and
    - Outsourcing low-value commodities and sub-assemblies.

    "While we are intensely focused on the near-term actions needed during
these challenging times, we must also seize the opportunity presented by these
conditions to quicken the pace of our transformation for the future," he said.

results. The call may be accessed via Dana's website ( http://www.dana.com ), where
