Feb 23, 2011

MAUMEE, Ohio, Feb. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana Holding Corporation (NYSE: DAN) today announced its full-year and fourth-quarter 2010 results. All full-year financial targets were achieved or exceeded.

Strong sales of $6.1 billion – up 17 percent over 2009 – and continued operating improvements enabled the company to post net income of $10 million for 2010, compared to a $431 million loss the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for 2010 was $553 million, compared to $326 million the prior year.

Continued restructuring and cost-reduction actions contributed to a $124 million reduction in conversion costs in 2010 and a significant improvement in margins. Adjusted EBITDA margin reached the full-year target of 9 percent, compared to 6 percent in 2009.

The company generated full-year 2010 free cash flow of $242 million, compared to $109 million for the prior year. At December 31, 2010, Dana’s global liquidity stood at approximately $1.4 billion, and its net cash position of $187 million was significantly improved from a net debt position of $56 million at the end of 2009.

“Dana met or exceeded its 2010 targets including operational improvements, profitable growth and improved margins – with a continued focus on our strong balance sheet,” said Dana Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer John Devine. “The entire Dana team worked together to deliver on our commitments. More remains to be done, but we have a strong foundation to keep improving top- and bottom-line results in 2011 and beyond.”

Dana secured $846 million in net new business in 2010, at margins above its cost of capital, against its goal of $650 million to $700 million. Business wins were achieved – and are expected to continue – in all markets (automotive, commercial vehicle, and off-highway) and geographic regions.

Fourth-Quarter Results

Fourth-quarter 2010 sales were $1.6 billion, up $100 million from the same period in 2009. A net loss of $14 million in the fourth quarter is improved from a net loss of $236 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter was $143 million.

Dana also generated $12 million of free cash flow in the fourth quarter – its seventh consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow.

Greater Financial Flexibility, Strategic Investments Provide Strong Start to 2011

Dana strengthened its capital structure last month by extending the maturities and reducing the amount of its long-term debt. Dana further strengthened its flexibility in pursuing its growth strategies by eliminating certain loan covenants.

Earlier this month, Dana signed an agreement to increase ownership of its joint venture, Dongfeng Dana Axle Co., Ltd. (DDAC), to 50 percent, pending Chinese government approval. DDAC is the sole supplier of medium- and heavy-duty axles to China’s second largest commercial vehicle manufacturer and exports to several other markets. Dana also recently completed a strategic agreement with SIFCO S.A., which positions Dana as the leading full-line supplier of commercial vehicle drivelines in South America and is expected to add approximately $350 million in annual sales. Collectively, cash outlays for these investments in China and Brazil are expected to total approximately $270 million.

In addition, Dana has put in place a robust plan to grow its global aftermarket business. The company expects to expand its aftermarket business from 15 percent of sales in 2010 to a target of 20 percent with new products and by leveraging its brands to enter new market segments.

Increased Sales and Earnings Guidance for 2011

Dana updated its assumptions and earnings guidance for 2011:

2011 revenues are now forecast to increase at least 17 percent over 2010 versus the previous forecast of more than 10 percent growth;
Adjusted EBITDA is now projected to be $740 million to $760 million versus the previous guidance of $675 million to $700 million; adjusted EBITDA as a percent of sales is still forecast to be more than 10 percent;
Diluted adjusted earnings per share are expected to total $1.50 to $1.60 per share compared to earlier guidance of $1.30 to $1.40 per diluted adjusted share; and
Free cash flow for the year is projected at more than $150 million versus the previous guidance of greater than $100 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

This release refers to adjusted EBITDA, which we’ve 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). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, and the measure currently being used by Dana as the primary measure of its operating segment performance. The most significant impact to Dana’s ongoing results of operations as a result of applying fresh start accounting is higher depreciation and amortization.

By using adjusted EBITDA, which is 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 of our primary debt agreements are based, in part, on adjusted EBITDA. Because it is a non-GAAP measure, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income or other reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial information accompanying this release provides a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented to the reported income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, which is a GAAP measure.

Diluted Adjusted EPS, another non-GAAP financial measure referenced in the slides, is derived from net income adjusted to exclude restructuring expense, amortization expense and nonrecurring items (as used in Adjusted EBITDA), net of any associated tax effects. Adjusted net income is divided by fully diluted shares, as determined in accordance with GAAP based on the adjusted earnings. 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.

Free cash flow is also a non-GAAP financial measure which we have defined as cash provided by operations (a GAAP measure) exclusive of any bankruptcy claim-related payments included therein, less capital spending. This measure is useful in evaluating the operational cash flow of the company inclusive of the spending required to maintain the operations.
