Current report

Selective acquisitions — Although transformational opportunities will be considered when strategically and economically attractive, our acquisition focus is principally directed at “bolt-on” or adjacent acquisition opportunities that have a strategic fit with our existing core businesses, particularly opportunities that support our enterprise strategy and enhance the value proposition of our product offerings. Any potential acquisition will be evaluated in the same manner we currently consider customer program opportunities and other uses of capital – with a disciplined financial approach designed to ensure profitable growth and increased shareholder value.

Current report

Our 2026 sales outlook is $7,300 to $7,700, reflecting declining global market demand, offset by $200 of net new business backlog, dissipation of the tariff recovery lag experienced in 2025 and currency tailwinds. Based on our current sales and exchange rate outlook for 2026, we expect international currencies to be a modest tailwind to sales primarily due to a stronger euro. At sales levels in our current outlook for 2026, a 5% movement on the euro would impact our annual sales by approximately $115. A 5% change on the Indian rupee or Brazilian real rates would impact our annual sales in each of those countries by approximately $25. A 5% change on the Chinese renminbi rate would impact our annual sales by approximately $15. At our current sales outlook for 2026, we expect full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA to approximate $750 to $850. Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be 10.6% at the midpoint of our guidance range, a 250 basis-point improvement over 2025, reflecting the impact of significant cost savings actions, improved operational performance and favorable product mix, partially offset by the impact of lower end-market demand and net material cost recoveries. We expect to generate free cash flow of $300 at the midpoint of our guidance range reflecting the benefit of higher year-over-year adjusted EBITDA and lower income tax and interest payments, partially offset by higher capital spending.

Current report

Among our operational and strategic initiatives is continued focus on and investment in product technology – delivering products and technology that are key to bringing solutions to issues of paramount importance to our customers. Our success on this front is measured, in part, by our sales backlog – net new business awarded that will be launching over the next three years, adding to our base annual sales. This backlog excludes replacement business and represents incremental sales associated with new programs for which we have received formal customer awards. At March 31, 2026, our sales backlog of net new business for the 2026 through 2028 period was $950. We expect to realize $200 of our sales backlog in 2026, with incremental sales backlog of $300 and $450 being realized in 2027 and 2028, respectively.

Loss on disposal group previously held for sale —In February 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our European hydraulics business to HPIH S.à r.l. We classified the disposal group as held for sale in the first quarter of 2024. The transaction was not completed by the date set forth in the definitive agreement.

Previous report

Net income from discontinued operations — Net income from discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2025 was $42 higher than the third quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher sales resulting from improving global construction/mining equipment and agricultural equipment markets, especially in Europe, and lower year-over-year income tax expense, partially offset by Off-Highway business divesture related costs incurred during the third quarter of 2025. During the third quarter of 2025, $20 of Off-Highway business divesture transaction related costs were attributed to discontinued operations. See Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

Summary Consolidated Results of Operations (Year-to-Date, 2025 versus 2024)

Previous report

Sales in the first nine months of 2025 were $327 lower than 2024. Weaker international currencies decreased sales by $3, principally due to a weaker Brazilian real, Indian rupee, Mexican peso and Canadian dollar, partially offset by a stronger euro, Thai baht and South Africa rand. The organic sales decrease of $323, or 5%, primarily resulted from lower full-frame light-truck production volumes in North America and lower medium/heavy-truck production volumes in North America, South 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 $142.

Previous report

The North America organic sales decrease of 6% was driven principally by lower full-frame light-truck and medium- and heavy-truck production volumes, partially offset by the conversion of sales backlog and net customer pricing and tariff and cost recovery actions. First nine months 2025 full-frame light-truck production was down 2%, Class 8 production was down 21% and Classes 5-7 was down 25% compared to 2024. Excluding currency effects, sales in Europe were down 5% compared with 2024, reflecting lower electric-vehicle product orders. Excluding currency effects, sales in South America were down 2% compared to 2024, reflecting lower medium/heavy-duty production volumes. Excluding currency effects, sales in Asia Pacific were down 6% compared to 2024, reflecting lower electric-vehicle related production orders, partially offset by modestly improving medium/heavy-truck production volumes.

Previous report

Net income from discontinued operations — Net income from discontinued operations for the first nine months of 2025 was $10 lower than the first nine months of 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to lower sales resulting from weaker global construction/mining equipment and agricultural equipment markets, especially in Europe, and Off-Highway business divesture related costs incurred during 2025, partially offset by lower year-over-year income tax expense. Year-over-year construction/mining equipment and agricultural equipment production in Europe were down 8% and 5%, respectively. During the first nine months of 2025, $54 of Off-Highway business divesture transaction related costs were attributed to discontinued operations. See Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

See Note 12 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information

Previous report

Investing activities — Expenditures for property, plant and equipment by continuing operations were $153 and $198 in 2025 and 2024. The decrease in capital spending during 2025 is primarily due to lower year-over-year program launches and a continued focus on rationalizing capital investments. On April 25, 2025, we sold our ownership interest in Axles India Limited for $43. On June 6, 2025, we sold our ownership interest in Switch Mobility Limited for $10.

We serve our customers in two core global end markets: light vehicle, primarily full frame trucks and SUVs; and commercial vehicle, including medium-and heavy-duty trucks and busses. 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 and industrial output. The current tariff environment has resulted in increased uncertainty in the markets we serve.

Light vehicle markets — Our driveline business is weighted more heavily to the truck and SUV segments of the light-vehicle market versus the passenger-car segment. Our vehicle content is greater on rear-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive vehicles, as well as hybrid and electric vehicles. During 2024, light-truck markets showed marginal improvement across all regions except Europe, which was down slightly from 2023. The outlook for 2025 reflects global light-truck near-term production being relatively stable across all regions with demand risk due to tariff impacts.

Previous wording

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 nine months of 2025 of approximately $169 are 3% of our consolidated sales and our net asset exposure related to Argentina was approximately $58, including $20 of net fixed assets, at September 30, 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.

Current wording

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 2026 of approximately $45 are 2% of our consolidated sales and our net asset exposure related to Argentina was approximately $68, including $18 of net fixed assets, at March 31, 2026. 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.

Commodity costs — The cost of our products may be significantly impacted by changes in raw material commodity prices, the most important to us being those of various grades of steel, aluminum, copper, brass and rare earth materials. 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 nine months of 2025 by $3. Material cost recovery pricing actions increased earnings in the first nine months of 2025 by $3.

Cost of sales and gross margin — Cost of sales for the nine months of 2025 decreased $398 when compared to 2024. Cost of sales as a percent of sales was 160 basis points lower than in the previous year. Incremental margins from cost reduction initiatives of $156, higher material cost savings of $68, operational efficiencies of $31, lower premium freight costs of $16 and lower warranty expense of $5 were partially offset by unfavorable product mix, tariff-related impacts of $97, non-material inflation of $89, higher spending on electrification initiatives of $4, commodity cost increases of $3 and higher incentive compensation expense of $3. Commodity costs are primarily driven by certain grades of steel and aluminum. Non-material inflation includes higher labor, energy and transportation rates.

Gross margin of $422 for first nine months of 2025 increased $71 from 2024. Gross margin as a percent of sales was 7.5% in the first nine months of 2025, 160 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. 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 nine months of 2025 were $291 (5.2% of sales) as compared to $328 (5.5% of sales) in the first nine months of 2024. SG&A expenses were $37 lower in the first nine 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.

Strategic transaction expenses relate primarily to costs incurred in connection with acquisition and divestiture related activities, including costs to complete the transaction and post-closing integration costs, and other strategic initiatives. During the third quarter of 2024, we received a transaction break fee related to the failed sale of our European hydraulics business to HPIH S.à.r.l. On June 6, 2025, we sold our ownership interest in Switch Mobility Limited, recognizing an $8 pre-tax loss on the transaction. See Note 17 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

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. Net cash proceeds from the Off-Highway business divestiture will be used to pay down debt, strengthening Dana’s financial position, and provide capital returns to shareholders. On June 8, 2025, Dana’s board of directors approved a program to provide up to a $1,000 return of capital to shareholders through common stock share repurchases and/or special dividends through the end of 2027.
