MAUMEE, Ohio, April 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2022.

“Dana saw continued sales growth in the first quarter despite record inflation, rising commodity costs, and ongoing global supply-chain disruptions,” said James Kamsickas, Dana chairman and CEO.  “As the entire mobility industry navigates soaring costs and geopolitical unrest that is greatly impacting the energy and transportation sectors, Dana continues to actively manage through these cost pressures as well as navigate through erratic and short notice customer demand changes.  We continue to innovate and launch new products and deliver on our $400 million of new business sales backlog that is coming online this year.” 

First-quarter 2022 Financial Results

Sales for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $2.48 billion, compared with $2.26 billion in the same period of 2021, representing a $217 million improvement driven by strong customer demand in our heavy-vehicle markets and the recovery of commodity costs and inflation.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2022 was $170 million, compared with $234 million for the same period in 2021.  Profit conversion on higher sales in the first quarter of 2022 was tempered by increased input costs and operational inefficiencies, primarily attributable to continued global supply-chain disruptions.

Adjusted net income attributable to Dana and diluted adjusted earnings per share were $23 million and $0.16 for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $97 million and $0.66 in the prior year.

Operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2022 was a use of $121 million, compared with operating cash flow of $27 million in the same period of 2021. 

Free cash flow was a use of $237 million, compared with a use of $26 million in the first quarter of 2021.  The higher free cash flow use in this year’s first quarter was driven by lower earnings, higher working capital requirements, and elevated capital investment in support of awarded new business.

“External factors continue to pressure our margins and free cash flow as rapid inflation of energy, services, and labor are further driving up costs,” said Timothy Kraus, Dana senior vice president and chief financial officer.  “While we see some improvement late this year, we anticipate these factors will remain a profit headwind.  We have adjusted our financial targets to better reflect the conditions across the mobility markets and continue to aggressively work to mitigate the impact of these challenges and position ourselves to capitalize on strong end-market demand and low vehicle inventories once the global environment stabilizes.”

2022 Revised Financial Targets 1

  • Sales of $9.850 to $10.350 billion;
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $770 to $870 million, an implied adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately

    8.1 percent at the midpoint of the range;
  • Diluted adjusted EPS of $1.05 to $1.55;
  • Operating cash flow of approximately 5.9 to 6.5 percent of sales; and
  • Free cash flow of approximately 1.9 to 2.3 percent of sales.

1Net income and diluted EPS guidance are not provided, as discussed below in Non-GAAP Financial Information.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This release refers to adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure which we have defined as net income 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 income before income taxes, net income or other results reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Diluted adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we have defined as adjusted net income divided by adjusted diluted shares.  We define adjusted net income as net income (loss) attributable to the parent company, excluding any nonrecurring 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.  We define adjusted diluted shares as diluted shares as determined in accordance with GAAP based on adjusted net income.  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 under 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 voluntary 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 under 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 preliminary and projected adjusted EBITDA and diluted adjusted EPS 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.
