Dana Incorporated Reports 2024 Second-Quarter Financial Results with Increased Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Raises Full-Year Free Cash Flow Guidance

Jul. 31, 2024

Sales of $2.74 billion
Net income of $16 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $244 million, an increase of $1 million over last year
Adjusted EBITDA margin of 8.9 percent, a 10-basis-point improvement compared with 2023
Free cash flow of $104 million
Full-year free cash flow guidance increased to $100 million

MAUMEE, Ohio, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2024.

"In the second quarter, Dana's strong end-to-end execution delivered steady profit and improved margin despite continued future program development costs," said James Kamsickas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"The Dana team continues to successfully achieve efficiencies while optimizing asset management by leveraging advanced core processes and systems across the company. As we look forward, our more flexible cost structure can better adjust to demand volatility as we support internal combustion, hybrid, and electric-vehicle propulsion technologies across all mobility markets."

Sales for the second quarter of 2024 totaled $2.74 billion, compared with $2.75 billion in the same period of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 was $244 million or 8.9 percent of sales, compared with $243 million or 8.8 percent of sales for the same period in 2023. Company-wide efficiency improvements continue to offset the margin impact of inflation and spending on development for electric-vehicle products.

Net income attributable to Dana was $16 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with $30 million, or $0.21 per share, in the second quarter of 2023.

Adjusted net income attributable to Dana was $45 million, and diluted adjusted earnings per share were $0.31 for the second quarter of 2024, compared with adjusted net income of $54 million and $0.37 per share in 2023

Operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2024 was $215 million, compared with $256 million in the same period of 2023. Free cash flow was $104 million, $30 million lower than the second quarter of 2023 due to the timing of working capital requirements.

"While our outlook for sales is lower due to weakening demand for electric vehicles and in some of our traditional markets, Dana is maintaining guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, while raising profit margin and again increasing the free-cash-flow range," said Timothy Kraus, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "As we look to the second half of the year, we anticipate company-wide cost management and production efficiencies will continue to offset the impact of softer end-market demand, and lower capital requirements will drive higher free cash flow."

Revised 2024 Financial Targets

Sales of $10.45 to $10.95 billion;
Adjusted EBITDA of $875 to $975 million, an implied adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 8.6 percent at the midpoint of the range;
Operating cash flow of approximately $500 to $550 million; and
Free cash flow of $75 to $125 million;
Diluted EPS of $0.35 to $0.85;
Diluted Adjusted EPS of $0.80 to $1.30.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 (loss) 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. We believe free cash flow is useful to investors in evaluating the operational cash flow of the company inclusive of the spending required to maintain the operations. Free cash flow is 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 may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The accompanying financial information provides reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA, diluted adjusted EPS and free cash flow to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We have not provided a reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA and diluted adjusted EPS outlook to the most comparable GAAP measures of net income (loss) and diluted EPS. Providing net income (loss) 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 (loss) and diluted EPS, 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.
