Dana Incorporated Reports 2021 Third-quarter Financial Results

MAUMEE, Ohio, Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ —

Key Highlights

• Sales of $2.2 billion

• Net income attributable to Dana of $48 million

• Diluted EPS of $0.33

• Adjusted EBITDA of $210 million

• Diluted adjusted EPS of $0.41

• Hosted Capital Markets Day focused on electrification technology

• Announced over a dozen significant new EV program wins

Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2021.

“Rising commodity costs, supply-chain constraints, and labor shortages across the entire global mobility industry continue to impact our business,” said James Kamsickas, Dana chairman and CEO. “While we expect these challenges to continue in the near-term, we remain diligent in working to offset and recover these higher costs through our established mechanisms. Moving forward, we anticipate suppressed end-market inventory levels will continue to drive high consumer demand, and Dana is well-positioned to capitalize on the cyclical growth opportunity as the various challenges facing our industry begin to subside.”

2021 Third-quarter Financial Results
Sales for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $2.20 billion, compared with $1.99 billion in the same period of 2020, representing a $210 million improvement driven by strong customer demand in our heavy-vehicle markets.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2021 was $210 million, compared with $201 million for the same period in 2020. Profit margin compression in the third quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by raw material cost inflation.

Net income attributable to Dana was $48 million for the third quarter of this year, $3 million higher than last year’s third quarter. Diluted adjusted earnings per share were $0.41 in the third quarter of 2021, compared with $0.37 per share in the third quarter of 2020.

Operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2021 was a use of $75 million, compared with $321 million of operating cash flow in the same period of 2020.

Story continues

Free cash flow was a use of $170 million, compared with $261 million of free cash flow in the third quarter of 2020. Cash flow use in this year’s third quarter was driven by higher working capital requirements resulting from customer schedule disruptions and supply-chain challenges.

“Challenging market dynamics have pressured our third-quarter results, and outlook for the remainder of this year,” said Jonathan Collins, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Dana. “Our revised guidance is primarily driven by customer production levels that were lower and less consistent than we had previously expected, and by commodity inflation. Though the near-term outlook remains constrained, we believe the current market dynamics not only position us for robust cyclical growth but also for Dana to achieve above-market secular growth driven by our transition to electrified mobility.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which we have defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, equity grant expense, restructuring expense, non-service cost components of pension and other postretirement benefit 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.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to the parent company is a non-GAAP financial measure which we have defined as net income (loss) attributable to the parent company, excluding any discrete income tax items, restructuring charges, amortization expense and other adjustments not related to our core operations (as used in adjusted EBITDA), net of any associated income tax effects. 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 net income attributable to the parent company reported by other companies. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to the parent company is neither intended to represent nor be an alternative measure to net income (loss) attributable to the parent company reported in accordance with GAAP.

Diluted adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure which we have defined as adjusted net income (loss) attributable to the parent company divided by adjusted diluted shares. We define adjusted diluted shares as diluted shares as determined in accordance with GAAP based on adjusted net income (loss) attributable to the parent company. 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. Diluted adjusted EPS is neither intended to represent nor be an alternative measure to diluted EPS reported in accordance with GAAP.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which we have defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which we have defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities excluding discretionary pension contributions less purchases of property, plant and equipment. We believe these measures are useful to investors in evaluating the operational cash flow of the company inclusive of the spending required to maintain the operations. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are not intended to represent nor be an alternative to the measure of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We have not provided reconciliations of our adjusted EBITDA and diluted adjusted EPS outlook to the most comparable GAAP measures of net income and diluted EPS. Providing net income and diluted EPS 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 and diluted EPS, including restructuring actions, asset impairments, and income tax valuation adjustments. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures with the most comparable GAAP measures for historical periods are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance. Please reference the “Non-GAAP Financial Information” accompanying our quarterly earnings conference call presentations on our website at www.dana.com/investors for our GAAP results and the reconciliations of these measures, were used, to the comparable GAAP measures.
