"Our efforts to transform the company into a stronger, more focused business are gaining momentum. The sale of our Off-Highway business is underway with a competitive process. We also continue to execute our cost-savings initiative and have taken further steps to accelerate the realization of our $300 million plan," said R. Bruce McDonald, chairman and chief executive officer. "While the situation remains fluid, we believe the impact of tariffs are manageable based on completed mitigation actions and expected substantial recoveries from customers."

Sales for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $2.35 billion, compared with $2.74 billion in the same period of 2024.

Net income attributable to Dana was $25 million, or $0.17 per share, compared with $3 million, or $0.02 per share, in the first quarter of 2024. As a percentage of sales, the first quarter of 2025 was 1 percent compared to 0.1 percent last year.

During the first quarter of 2024, Dana entered into a definitive agreement to sell its non-core European Off-Highway hydraulics business. This business was classified as held for sale, and a $29 million loss was recognized to adjust the carrying value of net assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell. This sale agreement was terminated and the transaction did not close.

Adjusted net income attributable to Dana was $19 million, or $0.13 per share, for the first quarter of 2025, compared with adjusted net income of $37 million, or $0.26 per share, in 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 was $188 million or 8 percent of sales, compared with $223 million or 8.2 percent of sales for the same period in 2024. The company's cost-savings program has mitigated the margin impact of lower volumes, tariffs, and cost inflation.

Operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2025 was a use of $37 million, compared with a use of $102 million in the same period of 2024. Adjusted free cash flow was a use of $101 million, compared with a use of $168 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Story Continues

"Our focus on managing working capital continues to show results as we have once again improved adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter. Our cost-savings actions and efficiency improvements are helping to offset the impact of tariffs until we can affect full recovery," said Timothy Kraus, Dana senior vice president and chief financial officer. "We are maintaining our guidance ranges for most of our measures including adjusted EBITDA and we expect that sales will increase slightly due to tariff recoveries and currency translation offsetting weaker end-market demand."

Revised 2025 Financial Targets

Sales above the midpoint of the range of $9.525 to $10.025 billion; Adjusted EBITDA of $925 to $1,025 million; Implied adjusted EBITDA of 9.7% to 10.2%; Operating cash flow of approximately $500 to $600 million; Adjusted free cash flow of $175 to $275 million; and Diluted Adjusted EPS of $1.15 to $1.65.

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.

Adjusted 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 plus proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment. We believe adjusted 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. Adjusted 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. Adjusted 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 adjusted 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.
