Dana Reports Improvement And Declares Dividend

Restructuring Actions Continue to Produce Benefits TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. 25, 2002; Dana Corporation today announced improved third-quarter sales and operating earnings strengthened by sustained progress in its restructuring actions. Sales for the period were $2.6 billion, up 7 percent from 2001. During the third quarter, Dana recorded after-tax charges of $40 million as part of its $445 million restructuring plan announced one year ago. This brings total charges recorded to date to $398 million, or approximately 90 percent of the total program. Net income, after restructuring charges and other non-recurring items, totaled $4 million, or 2 cents per share. This compares with net income of $13 million, or 8 cents per share, during the same period last year that included goodwill amortization of $9 million after tax. Exclusive of non-recurring items, Dana's operating earnings for the quarter totaled $44 million, or 30 cents per share, as compared to the consensus estimate of 26 cents per share. On the same basis, the company incurred a net loss of $8 million, or 5 cents per share, during the third quarter of 2001. "The improvement from last year in our operating profit was clearly driven more by progress with our restructuring plan than by sales volume," said Dana Chairman and CEO Joe Magliochetti. "In this respect, our operations have been successful in managing those items within their control. Third-quarter profit showed solid improvement across all four of our strategic business units, compared to the same period last year. We are also generating strong cash flow and continuing to improve our balance sheet." Nine-Month Results Improved Dana's nine-month consolidated sales were $7.9 billion, comparable to sales for the same period last year. Excluding non-recurring items, net income was $139 million, or 94 cents per share, compared with $19 million, or 13 cents per share, in 2001. The company adopted new accounting standard FAS 142, which resulted in an after-tax charge of $220 million during the first quarter of 2002. Dana also recorded $119 million in restructuring charges during the first nine months of the year and benefited from a net gain of $27 million on the sale of several non-core operations. As a result, the reported net loss for the first nine months of 2002 was $173 million, or $1.16 per share. This compares to break- even performance for the first nine months of 2001, which included net non- recurring charges of $19 million and goodwill amortization of $23 million after tax. Restructuring on Target Dana has reduced its permanent workforce by approximately 9 percent, closed 18 facilities, and announced plans to close 16 others from the inception of the restructuring plan announced one year ago through Sept. 30, 2002. The company expects to complete most of the actions and record all of the charges related to this restructuring plan by the end of this year. Divestiture of Non-Core Operations Continues During the quarter, the Dana Credit Corporation (DCC) Real Estate Services Group was sold for approximately $153 million. Also, Dana entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of its light-duty cylinder liner business, which had 2001 sales of approximately $53 million. Earlier this month, the company announced an agreement to sell its Boston Weatherhead operations, which had 2001 sales of $207 million. Dana Chief Financial Officer Bob Richter said, "This and other anticipated transactions, if closed by year end, would allow us to surpass the $300 million in divestiture-related proceeds we had projected for this year. This is exclusive of any transactions related to DCC. We will continue to take the time necessary to sell the remaining DCC businesses in a way that will maximize the value received for our shareholders." Fourth-Quarter Outlook Mr. Magliochetti said Dana still remains somewhat cautious in its outlook for its markets during the fourth quarter due largely to the following considerations: * A decrease in the build rate of Class 8 trucks following advanced purchases by many fleets in anticipation of changes in heavy-duty engine emission requirements; * Traditionally soft demand for aftermarket products in the final quarter of the year; * And the growing uncertainty about the broader global economic outlook, which some believe could negatively impact light-vehicle production rates. "However, despite this uncertain environment, we remain very confident that we will deliver on our restructuring plans and achieve the 50 to 55 cents in earnings per share that we had previously forecasted for the second half of this year," Mr. Magliochetti said.
