Forward Guidance

Dana increased its full-year guidance due to strong demand and execution, and improved market dynamics.

Positive Outlook

  • Sales growth supported by improved end-market demand, pricing actions, and market share gains
  • Organic growth driven by strong sales, pricing, and market share gains
  • Gross inflation and related recoveries are now expected to be lower than prior estimate; net profit impact from inflation remains the same, as cost recovery actions are expected to offset all but ~$50M of inflation headwind
  • Continued investment in EV business offsetting profit contribution
  • Translation of foreign currency expected to be a slight tailwind to sales due to the revised outlook for the relative value of the euro, and Brazilian real

Challenges Ahead

  • Cost inefficiencies, driven by volatile customer production, and higher sales due to cost recoveries hindering margin
  • Free cash flow includes significant capital investment to support accelerated EV growth and roll-on business
  • ~60% effective tax rate included in adjusted EPS guide driven primarily by valuation allowances in U.S
  • Inflation: ~($50)M
  • Commodity price outlook slightly elevated from prior estimate
