Current report
Sales in the second quarter of 2025 were $112 lower than 2024. Stronger international currencies increased sales by $11, principally due to a stronger euro and Thai baht, partially offset by a weaker Brazilian real. The organic sales decrease of $122, or 6%, primarily resulted from lower full-frame light-truck production in North America and lower medium/heavy-truck production volumes in North America and Europe, partially offset by the conversion of sales backlog. Pricing actions and recoveries, including material commodity price and tariff and inflationary costs adjustments, increased sales by $55.

Capital Structure Initiatives
Previous report
In addition to investing in our business, we plan to prioritize a balanced allocation of capital while maintaining a strong balance sheet.
Previous report
Shareholder return actions — When evaluating capital structure initiatives, we balance our growth opportunities with maintaining a strong balance sheet and returning capital to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases. Except for three quarters in 2020, when we temporarily suspended dividends to common shareholders in response to the global COVID pandemic, we have paid quarterly dividends to our common shareholders since the first quarter of 2012. We also utilize share repurchases to provide returns to our shareholders.
Previous report
Financing actions — Our current portfolio of unsecured senior notes is structured such that no more than $460 of senior notes comes due in any calendar year, with no maturities until the second quarter of 2025. Our $1,150 revolving credit facility matures on March 14, 2028. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

Segments
Previous report
Off-highway markets — Our off-highway business has a large presence outside of North America, with 65% of its 2024 sales coming from products manufactured in Europe; however, a large portion of these products are utilized in vehicle production outside the region. The construction equipment segment of the off-highway market is closely related to global economic growth and infrastructure investment. The global construction equipment market softened in 2024 with production declining 5% from 2023. The outlook for 2025 is for continued market weakness, with moderate production declines in North America and Europe and relative stability in Asia Pacific compared to the prior year. End-user investment in the mining equipment segment is driven by prices for commodity products produced by underground mining. The global mining equipment market has been mostly stable over the past several years as industry participants have maintained vehicle inventory levels to match commodity output. The outlook for 2025 is for a modest decline in global production from the prior year. The agriculture equipment market is the third of our key off-highway segments. Like the underground mining segment, investment in agriculture equipment is primarily driven by prices for farm commodities. Farm commodity price decreases in 2024 spurred a 8% decrease in agriculture equipment production. The outlook for 2025 is for a moderate decrease in global end-market demand relative to the prior year.
Previous report
Our 2025 sales outlook is $9,525 to $10,025, reflecting declining global market demand and currency headwinds, partially offset by $150 of net new business backlog. Based on our current sales and exchange rate outlook for 2025, we expect international currencies to be a modest headwind to sales primarily due to a weaker euro. At sales levels in our current outlook for 2025, a 5% movement on the euro would impact our annual sales by approximately $90. A 5% change on the Chinese renminbi, Indian rupee or Brazilian real rates would impact our annual sales in each of those countries by approximately $20. At our current sales outlook for 2025, we expect full year 2025 adjusted EBITDA to approximate $925 to $1,025. Adjusted EBITDA margin is 10.0% at the midpoint of our guidance range, a 140 basis-point improvement over 2024, reflecting the impact of significant cost savings actions and improved operational performance, partially offset by the impact of lower end-market demand and net material cost recoveries. Our current guidance reflects tariff related cost impacts being largely recovered from our customers. With commodity costs continuing to abate during 2025, Adjusted EBITDA margin will be negatively impacted by net material cost recoveries on both a dollar and percentage basis. We expect to generate adjusted free cash flow of $225 at the midpoint of our guidance range reflecting the benefit of higher year-over-year adjusted EBITDA, lower capital spending and improved working capital efficiency.
Previous report
Light Vehicle segment EBITDA decreased by $10 compared to the prior year. Lower sales volumes decreased year-over-year earnings by $36 (24% decremental margin). The year-over-year performance-related earnings increase was driven by cost reduction initiatives of $17, net customer pricing and cost recovery actions of $14, higher material cost savings of $12, lower incentive compensation expense of $4 and operational efficiencies, inclusive of lower corporate allocations resulting from cost reduction initiatives, of $7. Partially offsetting these performance-related earnings increases were inflationary cost increases of $20, tariff-related impacts of $4, higher premium freight costs of $2, higher program launch costs of $1 and higher warranty expense of $1.
Previous report
Commercial Vehicle segment EBITDA increased by $11 compared to the prior year. Lower sales volumes decreased year-over-year earnings by $19 (30% decremental margin). The year-over-year performance-related earnings increase was driven by cost reduction initiatives of $11, higher material cost savings of $8, net customer pricing and cost recovery actions of $6, lower premium freight costs of $2, lower incentive compensation expense of $1 and operational efficiencies, inclusive of lower corporate allocations resulting from cost reduction initiatives, of $17. Partially offsetting these performance-related earnings increases were inflationary cost increases of $8, commodity cost increases of $2, tariff-related impacts of $2 and higher spending on electrification initiatives of $1.
Previous report
Off-Highway
Previous report
Off-Highway sales in the first quarter of 2025, exclusive of currency effects, were 18% lower than 2024 reflecting weaker global markets and the impact of net customer pricing and cost recovery actions partially offset by the conversion of sales backlog. Year-over-year global construction/mining equipment and agricultural equipment markets continued to soften, especially in Europe. Year-over-year first quarter construction/mining equipment and agricultural equipment production in Europe were down 10% and 5%, respectively. Net customer pricing and cost recovery actions decreased year-over-year sales by $3.
Previous report
Off-Highway segment EBITDA decreased by $36 compared to the prior year. Lower sales volumes decreased year-over-year earnings by $35 (26% decremental margin). The year-over-year performance-related earnings increase was driven by higher material cost savings of $8, lower commodity costs of $1, lower incentive compensation expense of $1, lower premium freight cost of $1 and operational efficiencies, inclusive of lower corporate allocations resulting from cost reduction initiatives, of $3. Largely offsetting these performance-related earnings increases were inflationary cost increases of $8, net customer pricing and cost recovery actions of $3 and higher warranty expense of $2.
Previous report
In November 2024, we announced we are exploring the divestiture of our Off-Highway business. We expect that a portion of any cash proceeds received from a sale transaction would be used to repay or redeem a portion of our outstanding indebtedness.
Previous report
Investing activities — Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $75 and $70 in 2025 and 2024. The increase in capital spending during 2025 is primarily due to the year-over-year calendarization of capital spending being higher in this year’s first quarter.
Reworded paragraphs (33)
Previous wording
During the fourth quarter of 2024, we announced further actions to support sustained long-term profitability and enhanced cash flow generation. This includes substantial reduction in selling, general and administrative costs and aligning engineering expenses to match current industry dynamics, including the ongoing delay in the adoption of electric vehicles. We expect to deliver annualized savings of $300 through 2026. Approximately $100 of the annualized savings is expected to come from headcount reduction actions, with approximately $75 of the headcount-related savings being realized through 2025. See Note 4 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

Divestiture of Off-Highway Business — Dana has embarked on a strategic plan to focus on our core on-highway markets, creating a more focused and nimble Dana through the planned divestiture of our Off-Highway business. In June 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Off-Highway business to Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. for $2,732. The sale price is subject to adjustment based on net working capital and net indebtedness balances as of the closing date. The transaction is currently expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to satisfaction of regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. We analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the pending divestiture of our Off-Highway business and determined that the conditions for discontinued operations presentation have been met. As such, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of that business are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Prior period amounts have been recast to reflect discontinued operations presentation. See Note 1 and Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

We serve our customers in three core global end markets: light vehicle, primarily full frame trucks and SUVs; commercial vehicle, including medium-and heavy-duty trucks and busses; and off-highway, including construction, mining, and agriculture equipment. Each of our end-markets has unique cyclical dynamics and market drivers. These cycles are impacted by periods of investment where end-user vehicle fleets are refreshed or expanded in reaction to demand usage patterns, regulatory changes, or when the age of vehicles in service reach their useful life. Key market drivers include regional economic growth rates; cost and availability of end customer financing; industrial output; commodity production and pricing; and residential and nonresidential construction rates. Our multi-market coverage and broad customer base help provide stability across the cycles while mitigating secular variability. The current tariff environment has resulted in increased uncertainty in the markets we serve.

Argentina has experienced significant inflationary pressures the past few years, contributing to significant devaluation of its currency among other economic challenges. Our Argentine operation supports our Light Vehicle operating segment. Our sales in Argentina for the first quarter of 2025 of approximately $49 are 2% of our consolidated sales and our net asset exposure related to Argentina was approximately $53, including $21 of net fixed assets, at March 31, 2025. During the second quarter of 2018, we determined that Argentina's economy met the GAAP definition of a highly inflationary economy. In assessing Argentina's economy as highly inflationary we considered its three-year cumulative inflation rate along with other factors. As a result, effective July 1, 2018, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our Argentine operations, rather than the Argentine peso. Beginning July 1, 2018, peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using current Argentine peso exchange rates with resulting translation gains or losses included in results of operations. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollar using historic Argentine peso exchange rates.

The effects of changes in commodity prices are reflected directly in our purchases of commodities and indirectly through our purchases of products such as castings, forgings, bearings, batteries and component parts that include commodities. Most of our major customer agreements provide for the sharing of significant commodity price changes with those customers based on the movement in various published commodity indexes. Where such formal agreements are not present, we have historically been successful implementing price adjustments that largely compensate for the inflationary impact of material costs. Material cost changes will customarily have some impact on our financial results as customer pricing adjustments typically lag commodity price changes. Higher year-over-year commodity prices decreased earnings during the first quarter of 2025 by $1. Material cost recovery pricing actions decreased earnings in the first quarter of 2025 by $10.

Previous wording
Cost of sales and gross margin — Cost of sales for the first quarter of 2025 decreased $359 when compared to 2024. Cost of sales as a percent of sales was 50 basis points lower than in the previous year. Incremental margins from cost reduction initiatives of $37, higher material cost savings of $28, operational efficiencies of $18, lower incentive compensation expense of $3 and lower premium freight costs of $1 were partially offset by unfavorable product mix, non-material inflation of $34, tariff-related impacts of $6, higher warranty expense of $3, higher spending on electrification initiatives of $1, higher commodity costs of $1 and higher program launch costs of $1. Commodity costs are primarily driven by certain grades of steel and aluminum. Non-material inflation includes higher labor, energy and transportation rates.
Current wording
Cost of sales and gross margin — Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $133 when compared to 2024.

The improvement in gross margin as a percent of sales was driven principally by the cost of sales factors referenced above. Material cost recovery mechanisms with our customers lag material cost changes by our suppliers by approximately 90 days. With commodity costs remaining relatively flat during the first quarter of 2025, gross margin was negatively impacted by net material cost recoveries on both a dollar and percentage basis. The recovery of non-material inflation is not specifically provided for in our current contracts with customers resulting in prolonged negotiations and indeterminate recoveries.
Current wording
Gross margin of $138 for the second quarter of 2025 increased $21 from 2024. Gross margin as a percent of sales was 7.1% in the second quarter of 2025, 140 basis points higher than in 2024.

We have defined adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, equity grant expense, restructuring expense, non-service cost components of pension and other postretirement benefits (OPEB) costs and other adjustments not related to our core operations (gain/loss on debt extinguishment, pension settlements, divestitures, impairment, etc.). Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of our ability to maintain and continue to invest in our operations and provide shareholder returns. We use adjusted EBITDA in assessing the effectiveness of our business strategies, evaluating and pricing potential acquisitions and as a factor in making incentive compensation decisions. In addition to its use by management, we also believe adjusted EBITDA is a measure widely used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate financial performance of our company relative to other Tier 1 automotive suppliers. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for earnings (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.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Cost of sales and gross margin — Cost of sales for the first six months of 2025 decreased $373 when compared to 2024. Cost of sales as a percent of sales was 130 basis points lower than in the pervious year. Incremental margins from cost reduction initiatives of $90, higher material cost savings of $59, operational efficiencies of $37, lower premium freight costs of $10, lower commodity costs of $7 and lower warranty expense of $3 were partially offset by unfavorable product mix, tariff-related impacts of $52, non-material inflation of $72, higher spending on electrification initiatives of $4 and higher incentive compensation expense of $1. Commodity costs are primarily driven by certain grades of steel and aluminum. Non-material inflation includes higher labor, energy and transportation rates.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Gross margin of $256 for first six months 2025 increased $27 from 2024. Gross margin as a percent of sales was 6.9% in the first six months of 2025, 130 basis points higher than in 2024. The improvement in gross margin as a percent of sales was driven principally by the cost of sales factors referenced above. Material cost recovery mechanisms with our customers lag material cost changes by our suppliers by approximately 90 days. Despite commodity costs decreasing during the first six months of 2025, gross margin was negatively impacted by net material cost recoveries on both a dollar and percentage basis. The recovery of non-material inflation is not specifically provided for in our current contracts with customers resulting in prolonged negotiations and indeterminate recoveries.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) — SG&A expenses in the first six months of 2025 were $204 (5.5% of sales) as compared to $222 (5.5% of sales) in the first six months of 2024. SG&A expenses were $18 lower in the first six months of 2025 primarily due to lower salary and employee benefit costs and lower travel and discretionary spending, resulting from global headcount and cost reduction initiatives that commenced during the fourth quarter of 2024.
