Eaton Mobility Business — On June 10, 2026, Dana entered into definitive agreements with Eaton Corporation plc (Eaton) and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Eaton, including Mobility (USA) Corporation (the SpinCo), to acquire Eaton’s Vehicle and eMobility business segments (Mobility business). The structure of the transaction is a Reverse Morris Trust. Following the separation of the Mobility business from Eaton, a subsidiary of SpinCo will merge with and into Dana, and Dana will survive the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SpinCo. Following the merger, each outstanding share of Dana will be converted into the right to receive one SpinCo share. Prior to or at the closing, a subsidiary of Eaton will sell to Dana 100% of the stock in Royal Precision Holdings Corp. in exchange for cash consideration (the Royal Precision Purchase Price). In the event of an election by Dana, certain specified assets (as defined in the separation agreement) will be purchased by Dana from Eaton and certain of its subsidiaries. When the transaction is completed, former Eaton shareholders will own at least 50.1% and former Dana shareholders will own no more than 49.9% of the outstanding shares of SpinCo common stock on a fully diluted basis. Under the terms of the agreement, Eaton will receive a cash distribution of approximately $1,100, subject to adjustment for cash and indebtedness and reduced by the Royal Precision and other specified assets Purchase Price. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both Dana and Eaton. No vote by Eaton shareholders is required. The transaction is intended to be tax-free to Dana and Eaton shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The transaction is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to approval by Dana's shareholders and customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. The agreements contain certain customary termination rights for Dana and Eaton, including, without limitation, a right for either party to terminate if the transaction is not completed on or before June 10, 2027. Termination resulting from Dana shareholders voting against the transaction would result in Dana having to reimburse Eaton for certain expenses in an amount not to exceed $20. Termination under specified circumstances would require Dana to pay Eaton a termination fee of $159. In anticipation of the transaction, Mobility (USA) Corporation and Dana became parties to a $2,600 bridge facility, a $350 secured term loan A commitment and a $1,200 secured revolving credit facility commitment. See Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

Foreign currency — With 44% of our first six months 2026 sales coming from outside the U.S., international currency movements can have a significant effect on our sales and results of operations. The euro zone countries accounted for 33% of our year-to-date 2026 non-U.S. sales, while Brazil, India, Thailand, China, Argentina and South Africa accounted for 14%, 9%, 7%, 7%, 7% and 6%, respectively. International currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar during the first six months of 2026, increasing sales by $88, with the effects of a stronger euro, Brazilian real, South African rand and Thai baht being partially offset by a weaker Indian rupee.

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 six months of 2026 of approximately $111 are 3% of our consolidated sales and our net asset exposure related to Argentina was approximately $79, including $21 of net fixed assets, at June 30, 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. 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.

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 second quarter and first half of 2026 by $15 and $23, respectively. Material cost recovery pricing actions increased earnings in the second quarter and first half of 2026 by $12 and $18, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures discussion below for definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measures. We have not provided a reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of net income. Providing net income guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in net income, including restructuring actions, asset impairments and certain income tax adjustments. The accompanying reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures with the most comparable GAAP measures for the historical periods presented are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance.

Our 2026 sales outlook is $7,650 to $7,850, reflecting relatively stable global market demand, $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 $65. A 5% change on the Indian rupee or Brazilian real rates would impact our annual sales in each of those countries by approximately $15. A 5% change on the Chinese renminbi rate would impact our annual sales by approximately $10. At our current sales outlook for 2026, we expect full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA to approximate $800 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 net material cost recoveries and net inflationary cost recoveries. We expect to generate free cash flow of $325 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.

Sales in the second quarter of 2026 were $75 higher than 2025. Stronger international currencies increased sales by $24, principally due to a stronger Brazilian real, euro and South African rand, partially offset by a weaker India rupee. The organic sales increase of $51 primarily resulted from pricing actions and recoveries, including material commodity, tariff and inflationary costs adjustments, higher full-frame light-truck production volumes in North America and the conversion of sales backlog, partially offset by lower medium/heavy-truck production volumes in North America and lower electric-vehicle product orders in Europe and Asia Pacific. Pricing actions and recoveries, including material commodity, tariff and inflationary costs adjustments, increased sales by $45.

Commercial Vehicle second-quarter and first-half 2026 segment EBITDA increased $21 and $43, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2025. The EBITDA benefit of higher sales volumes was offset by unfavorable product mix in the second quarter of 2026. Lower sales volumes decreased year-over-year earnings by $8 (40% decremental margin) in the first half of 2026. Unfavorable product mix in the first half of 2026 contributed to the decremental margin. The year-over-year performance-related earnings increase in the second quarter of 2026 was driven by net customer pricing and cost and tariff recovery actions of $10, net tariff refunds of $10, higher material cost savings of $8, cost reduction initiatives of $3, net foreign currency transaction gains of $3, lower incentive compensation expense of $2 and operational efficiencies, including lower corporate allocations resulting from cost reduction initiatives of $7. Partially offsetting these performance-related earnings increases were higher spending on electrification initiatives of $7, inflationary cost increases of $5, commodity cost increases of $4, higher premium freight costs of $3 and higher warranty expense of $1. The year-over-year performance-related earnings increase in the first half of 2026 was driven by net customer pricing and cost and tariff recovery actions of $30, higher material cost savings of $17, cost reduction initiatives of $6, net foreign currency transaction gains of $3, lower incentive compensation expense of $1, lower program launch costs of $1 and operational efficiencies, including lower corporate allocations resulting from cost reduction initiatives of $20. Partially offsetting these performance-related earnings increases were higher spending on electrification initiatives of $13, inflationary cost increases of $9, commodity cost increases of $6, higher tariff-related costs of $4 and higher premium freight costs of $1.
Current wording
Commercial Vehicle third-quarter and first nine months segment EBITDA increased $18 and $61, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2025. Higher sales volumes increased year-over-year third quarter segment EBITDA by $18 (24% incremental margin). The impact of higher sales volumes was partially offset by unfavorable product mix, increasing year-over-year first nine months segment EBITDA by $7 (13% incremental margin). The year-over-year performance-related earnings increase in the third quarter of 2026 was driven by net customer pricing and cost and tariff recovery actions of $24, higher material cost savings of $6, lower program launch costs of $1 and operational efficiencies, including lower corporate allocations resulting from cost reduction initiatives of $6. Offsetting these performance-related earnings increases were higher tariff-related costs of $12, inflationary cost increases of $10, higher warranty expense of $8, a union ratification bonus charge of $2 in 2026, higher incentive compensation expense of $2, lower year-over-year savings from cost reduction initiatives of $2 and commodity cost increases of $1. The year-over-year performance-related earnings increase for the first nine months of 2026 was driven by net customer pricing and cost and tariff recovery actions of $54, higher material costs savings of $23, higher savings from cost reduction initiatives of $4, lower program launch costs of $2 and operational efficiencies, including lower corporate allocations resulting from cost reduction initiatives of $32. Partially offsetting these performance-related earnings increases were inflationary cost increases of $19, higher tariff-related costs of $16, higher spending on electrification initiatives of $13, higher warranty expense of $8, commodity cost increases of $7, a union ratification bonus charge of $2 in 2026, higher premium freight costs of $1 and higher incentive compensation expense of $1.
