Dana Corporation Reports First-Quarter Results for 2005
Apr 20, 2005
TOLEDO, Ohio, April 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dana Corporation
(NYSE: DCN) today announced that its 2005 first-quarter sales were
$2.5 billion, compared to $2.3 billion during the same period last year.
Net income for the quarter totaled $18 million, or 12 cents per share, versus
$65 million, or 43 cents per share, for the period in 2004.

First-quarter 2004 net income included $13 million from the discontinued
automotive aftermarket businesses that were sold in November, 2004.
Additionally, first-quarter 2004 net income included $2 million of unusual net
gains from the sale of Dana Credit Corporation assets, while unusual
transactions in the first quarter of 2005 did not have a significant impact on
net income.
Dana Chairman and CEO Mike Burns said 2005 first-quarter earnings were
impacted by several external factors. "The single greatest factor impacting
our earnings was roughly $32 million in additional steel costs that we
incurred compared to the first quarter of 2004," he said. "This is an after-
tax number and is net of what we've recovered from our customers.
"In addition, this year's results were affected by a component shortage
from a principal supplier, which resulted in reduced shipments of heavy-duty
axles in March," Mr. Burns said. "The component shortage also affected the
operating efficiency in our Heavy Vehicle group and led to significantly
higher levels of inventory on other related components.
"Finally, the performance of our Automotive Systems Group was impacted by
lower production on many of our key light vehicle platforms in North America.
"Against this challenging backdrop, we are stepping up our focus on those
items within our control," Mr. Burns said. "This means accelerating our cost-
reduction actions to deliver savings to the bottom line, despite external
challenges. We are also working hard to grow our top line. During the
quarter, we were awarded net new business that will add approximately
$60 million to full-year 2005 sales."
Recent Actions Position Dana for Long-Term Success
Mr. Burns said Dana has also taken several recent actions that position
the company to further leverage its capabilities and achieve success over the
longer term:
* In February, Dana's principal Brazilian subsidiary, Dana-Albarus,
initiated a tender offer in Brazil for the 15.8 percent of its
outstanding shares not held by Dana. Completion of this offer will
enable Dana to consolidate all profits from this business, while at the
same time saving the administrative costs associated with operating a
separate public company.
* In March, Dana announced an agreement to form a 50/50 joint venture in
China - Dongfeng Dana Axle Co. Ltd. The joint venture is expected to
be established in the third quarter of this year, following government
approvals. Dana will initially have a $60 million net investment in
the joint venture, which will provide axles - and potentially other
driveline products - for the growing Chinese commercial vehicle market.
* Earlier this month, Dana and IBM announced an agreement for IBM
Business Consulting Services to provide Dana with administrative
services in the human resources area, such as payroll and benefits,
compensation, and recruitment and training. This move is designed to
improve Dana's flexibility in managing its human resource processes, as
well as to deliver cost savings over the 10-year life of the contract.
Outlook
Commenting on the company's near-term outlook, Mr. Burns said, "Our full-
year guidance remains $1.30 to $1.45 per share."
He continued, "As we put the recent component shortage behind us, and
address other operational issues that have held back margin expansion in the
Heavy Vehicle group over the past two quarters, we expect to more fully
benefit over the remainder of the year from the strong demand anticipated in
the North American commercial vehicle market.
"In the case of the Automotive Systems Group, the dominant issue has been
the effect of higher steel prices," Mr. Burns added. "The good news is that
the market price for raw steel has decreased in recent months and demand
appears to be moderating. Although the price we pay for forgings and other
parts with high steel content has been slow to follow the decrease for a
variety of reasons, we remain hopeful that we'll see less pressure on steel
and other material price increases during the balance of the year. Therefore,
if light-duty production schedules for the balance of the year do not change
significantly, we expect that our accelerated cost reduction efforts will lead
to improved performance in this group as well."
