Dana Corporation Reports Third-Quarter Earnings
Oct 25, 2002
Restructuring Actions Continue to Produce Benefits
TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dana Corporation
(NYSE: DCN) 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.
