“Our 2024 results reflect the initial improvements we've implemented to streamline our cost structure, and we anticipate even greater progress in 2025,” said R. Bruce McDonald, Dana chairman and chief executive officer. “Dana continues to execute on our strategy and position the company for profitable growth and value creation. Our cost-savings actions are proceeding on schedule with over $100 million run-rate savings in place, and we are well on our way to our 2026 target of $300 million. Our 2025 outlook reflects accelerating savings and lower capital expenditures. We are confident that improving free cash flow generation will continue to create significant value for shareholders.”

Fourth-quarter 2024 Financial Results Sales for the fourth quarter of 2024 totaled $2.3 billion, compared with $2.5 billion in the same period of 2023. Lower sales in 2024 were driven by lower market demand for electric vehicles, off-highway equipment, and lower vehicle production driven by higher inventory of certain light truck programs.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $186 million, compared with $156 million for the same period in 2023.Efficiency improvements, cost-savings actions, and recoveries from customers offset the margin impact of lower sales and inflation.

The net loss attributable to Dana was $80 million, or $0.55per share, compared with a net loss of $39 million, or $0.27 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2023 due primarily to $31 million in higher restructuring charges to achieve cost-savings projects.

The adjusted net income attributable to Dana was $36million, or $0.25per share, for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with an adjusted net loss of $11 million or $0.08 earnings per share in 2023.

Operating cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $302million, compared with $278million in the same period of 2023. Free cash flow was $149 million, compared with $136 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Full-year 2024 Financial Results Sales for 2024 were$10.3 billion,compared with $10.6billion in 2023. The decrease of $271 million was due to lower demand for vehicles in all end markets.

Adjusted EBITDA for 2024 was $885million, compared with $845 million in 2023 driven by efficiency improvements and cost-savings actions; recoveries from customers offset the margin impact of lower sales and inflation.

The net loss attributable to Dana for 2024 was $57 million or $0.39per share, compared with net income of $38 million or $0.26 per share in 2023. The 2024 loss was primarily due to $51 million in higher restructuring charges to achieve cost-savings projects and the $26 million loss on disposal of a business previously held for sale.

Adjusted net income attributable to Dana was $136 million and diluted adjusted earnings per share were $0.94 in 2024, compared with an adjusted net income of $122million and $0.84 per share in 2023.

The company reported operating cash flow of $450 million in 2024 and free cash flow of $70 million, compared operating cash flow of $476 million and free cash flow use of $25 million in 2023. Improved free cash flow in 2024 was driven by increased profit, better working capital efficiency, and lower capital spending.

“Today we are affirming our previously announced guidance for 2025 financial targets,” said Timothy Kraus, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “Sales are expected to be lower for the year, mainly driven by lower demand for off-highway equipment and translation of foreign currency. The impact of our cost-savings actions, totaling $175 million in 2025, along with efficiency improvements will drive higher margins. Improved working capital efficiency and reduced capital expenditures will increase free cash flow.”

2025 Financial Targets

— Sales of $9.525 to $10.025 billion;

— Adjusted EBITDA of $925 to $1,025 million, an implied adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 10.0 percent at the midpoint of the range;

— Operating cash flow of approximately $500 to $600 million;

— Free cash flow of $175 to $275 million; and

— Diluted Adjusted EPS of $1.40 to $1.90.

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. 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.
