Second Quarter Financial Report

Sales for the second quarter of 2017 totaled 1.84 billion U.S. dollars, which was a year-on-year increase of 19% compared to the same period in 2016 of 1.55 billion U.S. dollars. Among the sources of growth, the recent acquisitions contributed 150 million U.S. dollars, with the remainder coming from new customer projects, the global high-end market demand for light vehicles, and the growth in the global non-road market. Due to the adverse impact of the exchange rate, the lost sales amounted to 10 million U.S. dollars. Excluding acquisitions and exchange rate factors, strong market demand and new business brought 11% of sales growth.

Dana’s net income in the second quarter was 71 million U.S. dollars, compared with 53 million U.S. dollars for the same period in 2016. The increase in net income comes from an increase of US$39 million in adjusted EBITDA, which is partially used to offset increased depreciation and installment loans, acquisition costs, restructuring expenses, and income tax. In the second quarter of this year, the cost of debt financing was US$6 million, and the cost for the same period in 2016 was US$17 million. The diluted earnings per share announced in the second quarter of 2017 was $0.47, compared to $0.36 in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA was US$217 million, achieving a profit margin of 11.8%, an increase of 30 basis points from the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA was driven by strong market demand and new business transformation, which was a year-on-year increase of US$39 million, while higher sales generated a US$26 million increase. The acquisition resulted in an increase of US$17 million in adjusted EBITDA, which was affected by unfavorable exchange rates. The conversion and transaction losses amounted to US$4 million.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2017 were $0.68, compared to $0.53 in the same period of last year, and its growth benefited mainly from year-on-year revenue growth.
