Dana Corporation Announces First-Quarter Results
Apr 18, 2001
TOLEDO, Ohio, April 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana Corporation (NYSE: DCN) today
announced that its sales for the first quarter of 2001 were $2.7 billion, down
from $3.5 billion for the same period last year. Operating earnings per share
totaled one cent on a diluted basis, exceeding consensus estimates.

The company also reported net non-recurring charges of $28 million
(19 cents per share). These charges included a one-time loss associated with
the sale of the Mr. Gasket aftermarket operations, as well as charges related
to facility closures and permanent workforce reductions. The resulting net
loss reported for the quarter was $27 million (18 cents per share). This
compares to net income of $245 million in the first quarter of last year,
which included a net non-recurring gain of $85 million.
"As we expected, the first quarter was very much like the fourth quarter
of 2000. We were 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 some of
our largest customers and continued weakness in the aftermarket and the North
American heavy-truck market," said Dana Chairman and CEO Joe Magliochetti.
"With the lower light-truck production levels affecting certain vehicles
with significant Dana content, the profitability of our Automotive Systems
Group declined from the fourth quarter. This was largely offset by the
effects of our on-going cost-reduction initiatives, as well as improved
performance in other business units.
"We are particularly proud that our Commercial Vehicle Systems group,
formerly known as the Heavy Truck Group, was profitable in a still depressed
heavy-truck market. During the quarter, this group completed a substantial
streamlining of its operations. This is consistent with our objective to
right-size all of our businesses to correspond with lower production
projections," Mr. Magliochetti said.
"Looking ahead to the second quarter, we anticipate that our original
equipment markets will continue to be erratic as the OEMs work to balance
their production and inventories with demand. We also do not see any signs of
near-term recovery in the aftermarket. Consequently, it is imperative that we
continue to focus on appropriately scaling all of our operations and better
leveraging our assets," he added.
Dana Chief Financial Officer Bob Richter said, "In addition to these
operational measures, we continued our focus on managing for cash. We also
significantly strengthened our liquidity. We established a five-year,
$400 million accounts receivable securitization program to provide an
additional, cost-effective source of financing. We also increased the size of
our revolving credit facilities by $250 million to a total of $1.25 billion.
These actions greatly enhance our financial flexibility going forward."
