- Market weakness drives 47-percent sales decline compared to first quarter of 2008
- Operations aggressively right-sizing to new production levels
- 2009 plan on track despite weak global markets
TOLEDO, Ohio, May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dana Holding Corporation (NYSE: DAN) today announced its first-quarter 2009 results.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19990903/DANA)
First-quarter highlights included:
- Sales of $1,216 million, a 47-percent decrease compared with 2008, primarily related to lower vehicle production across all market segments.
- Net loss of $160 million, compared with first-quarter 2008 net income of $663 million. The 2008 results included a one-time gain of $754 million after taxes, related to emergence and adoption of fresh start accounting. Excluding the one-time gain, the comparable first-quarter 2008 net loss was $91 million.
- Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring (EBITDA) of $16 million, compared with $134 million in 2008. The negative impacts associated with volume declines were partially offset by improved operational performance and pricing.
- A cash balance of $549 million and total liquidity of $687 million at March 31, 2009. Net debt was $679 million.
Declining Global Markets Weaken Results
"Our first-quarter results were hit hard by the continued global recession," said Dana Chairman & CEO John Devine. "Despite this backdrop, we are making good progress on improving our business through cost reductions, right-sizing our operations, and improving margins and working capital. During the first quarter, we reduced our global workforce by nearly 5,000 employees and reduced fixed costs, achieving total cost reductions of approximately $300 million.
"These efforts have helped preserve adequate liquidity," Devine added. "At the same time, we also are securing profitable new business with global customers, which will benefit Dana moving forward."
The effects of the current economic downturn continued during the first quarter of 2009. First-quarter North American light vehicle production decreased by 51 percent compared with the same period last year. Outside North America, light vehicle production declined by 34 percent. Quarterly North American production of Class 8 trucks was down 40 percent and production of medium-duty trucks declined by 44 percent compared with the same period one year ago. Dana's off-highway sales decreased by 47 percent globally compared with the first quarter of 2008.
Dana Initiates Debt Repurchase Program
Dana also announced today that it is initiating a Dutch auction tender program to repurchase up to 10 percent of the existing $1.26 billion under its Term Loan Facility. The company anticipates that the repurchase activity under this program will be completed later this month.

Non-GAAP Measures
In connection with Dana's emergence from bankruptcy on January 31, 2008 and the application of fresh start accounting in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7, the post-emergence results of the successor company for the 2 months ended March 31, 2008 and the pre-emergence results of the predecessor company for the one month ended January 31, 2008 are presented separately as successor and predecessor results in the financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This presentation is required by GAAP as the successor company is considered to be a new entity and the results of the new entity reflect the application of fresh start accounting. For the readers' convenience and interest in this earnings release, we have combined the separate successor and predecessor periods to derive combined results for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The financial information accompanying this release provides the separate successor and predecessor GAAP results for the applicable periods, along with the combined results described above for the two months of 2008.
This release refers to EBITDA, which we've defined to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and restructuring. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, and the measure currently being used by Dana as the primary measure of its reportable operating segment performance. EBITDA was selected as the primary measure for operating segment performance as well as a relevant measure of Dana's overall performance given the enhanced comparability and usefulness after application of fresh start accounting. The most significant impact to Dana's ongoing results of operations as a result of applying fresh start accounting is higher depreciation and amortization.
By using EBITDA, which is a performance measure that excludes depreciation and amortization, the comparability of results is enhanced. Management also believes that EBITDA is an important measure since the financial covenants of our primary debt agreements are EBITDA-based, and our management incentive performance programs are based, in part, on EBITDA. Because it is a non-GAAP measure, EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income or other reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial information accompanying this release provides a reconciliation of EBITDA for the periods presented to the reported income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, which is a GAAP measure.
