Dana Reports Strong Second-Quarter 2012 Results

-- Sales of $1.95 billion

-- Net income up 26 percent year over year to $86 million

-- Adjusted EBITDA of $225 million, up 12 percent year over year

-- Free cash flow of $107 million and liquidity of $1.4 billion

-- New technologies introduced to address fuel efficiency, emissions control

MAUMEE, OH--July 26, 2012 -- Dana Holding Corporation today announced strong results for the second quarter of 2012.

Net income for the quarter was $86 million, compared with $68 million for the same period in 2011. This is the fifth consecutive quarter of positive net income. Diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.56, up 24 percent compared with $0.45 in the second quarter of 2011.

Sales for the quarter of $1.95 billion were in line with last year. The effects of overall weaker international currencies and soft commercial-vehicle production in Brazil were largely offset by new business and higher production levels in North America and other parts of the world.

The company reported adjusted EBITDA of $225 million in the quarter, a 12-percent increase over the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of sales for the quarter was 11.5 percent, compared with 10.4 percent for the same period in 2011.

Free cash flow for the quarter was $107 million, compared with $44 million for the same period last year. With liquidity of $1.4 billion and net debt of $13 million at June 30, 2012, Dana continues to have a strong financial position.

"We delivered strong earnings and margin growth in the second quarter despite the impact of currency and soft commercial-vehicle volumes in Brazil," said company President and Chief Executive Officer Roger J. Wood. "These strong results reflect our ongoing focus on lean operations, as well as our ability to react quickly to changing market conditions.

"We continue to invest in new driveline, sealing, and thermal-management technologies aimed at three key market value drivers €“ improved fuel economy, reduced emissions, and lower cost of ownership. And, these technologies continue to attract the interest and orders of customers around the world."

New Product Technologies

In the second quarter, Dana introduced and launched into production several new technologies, including:

Victor Reinz^Ž transmission separator plates. Leveraging its multi-layer steel cylinder-head expertise, Dana developed a tighter, more durable seal for seven-, and eight-speed and continuously-variable transmissions in light-duty vehicles;
Spicer^Ž 318 hydrostatic continuously variable transmissions (HCVT). These transmissions deliver 20-percent fuel savings when construction vehicles are moving at high speeds and provide better traction at low speeds;
Spicer^Ž PS09 powershift transmissions. The advanced design of these transmissions for off-highway vehicles improves operator comfort, machine productivity, and fuel efficiency, the latter by up to 12 percent for reduced emissions and operating costs; and
Spicer^Ž 91S drive axles. These lighter, more durable drive axles were developed specifically for commercial vehicles in India.

Dana was also awarded fuel-cell development contracts from three automakers in the quarter. The company has positioned itself as a development partner of choice for sealing and thermal-management technologies for hybrid-electric, electric, and fuel-cell powertrains.

2012 Financial Guidance

Reflecting the impact of currency and softening production demand in certain end markets, Dana revised its guidance for full-year sales, adjusted EDITDA, and diluted adjusted EPS. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of sales and free cash flow targets remain unchanged, while capital spending has also been revised.

Current guidance for the full year is as follows:

Sales are projected at $7.5 billion to $7.6 billion, compared with previous guidance of a 3-percent increase;
Adjusted EBITDA is projected to be $820 million to $840 million, compared with previous guidance of $845 million to $865 million;
Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of sales is forecast to be approximately 11 percent;
Diluted adjusted EPS is expected to total $1.94 to $2.01 per share, compared with previous guidance of total $1.95 to $2.05 per share;
Free cash flow for the year is projected at more than $200 million, excluding the special one-time $150 million pension contribution; and
Capital spending is expected to total $210 million to $230 million, compared with previous guidance of $225 million to $250 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This release refers to adjusted EBITDA, which we have defined to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash equity grant expense, restructuring expense and other nonrecurring items (gain/loss on debt extinguishment or divestitures, impairment, etc.). The most significant impact on Dana's ongoing results of operations as a result of applying fresh start accounting following our emergence from bankruptcy was higher depreciation and amortization. By using adjusted EBITDA, a performance measure that excludes depreciation and amortization, the comparability of results is enhanced. Management also believes that adjusted EBITDA is an important measure since the financial covenants in our debt agreements are based, in part, on adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss) or other results reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Diluted adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that we have defined as adjusted net income divided by adjusted diluted shares. We define adjusted net income as net income (loss) attributable to the parent company, excluding restructuring expense, amortization expense and nonrecurring items (as used in adjusted EBITDA), net of any associated income tax effects. We define adjusted diluted shares as diluted shares as determined in accordance with GAAP based on adjusted net income. This measure is considered useful for purposes of providing investors, analysts, and other interested parties with an indicator of ongoing financial performance that provides enhanced comparability to EPS reported by other companies. Diluted adjusted EPS is neither intended to represent nor be an alternative measure to diluted EPS reported under GAAP.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we have defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities, excluding any bankruptcy claim-related payments, less purchases of property, plant, and equipment. We believe this measure 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 neither intended to represent nor be an alternative to the measure of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reported under GAAP. Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Please reference the "Non-GAAP financial information" accompanying our quarterly earnings conference call presentations on our website at www.dana.com/investors for our GAAP results and the reconciliations of these measures, where used, to the comparable GAAP measures.
