About this update from Dana Incorporated

Highlights *Cash flow includes cash from both continuing and discontinued operations to align with deal structure MAUMEE, Ohio , Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2025 reflecting the Off-Highway business as a discontinued operation for all periods. "Our business is performing very well, and we are experiencing minimal impact from market fluctuations and customer production disruptions," said R. Bruce McDonald, Dana chairman and chief executive officer. "Our $310 million cost-savings initiative is on track, with over $70 million in savings in the third quarter we are exceeding our expectations. We now expect our fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA margin to be consistent with our forecasted 2026 margin of 10-10.5 percent. We expect to complete the Off-Highway divestiture in the fourth quarter of this year. The benefits of this transaction are already being realized as we execute our $1 billion capital return program, including $189 million in share repurchases during the quarter. We expect to repurchase an additional $155 million in the fourth quarter, bringing the total to $600 million for the year." Sales for continuing operations in the third quarter of 2025 totaled $1.92 billion, compared with $1.90 billion in the same period of 2024. Net income from continuing operations was $13 million compared with a net loss of $21 million in the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 was $162 million or 8.5 percent of sales, compared with $111 million or 5.9 percent of sales for the same period in 2024. The company's cost-savings program has mitigated the margin impact of lower volumes and cost inflation. Operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2025 was $111 million, compared with $35 million in the same period of 2024. Adjusted free cash flow was $101 million, compared with a use of $8 million in the third quarter of 2024. The improvement was driven by higher profit, lower taxes and working capital requirements. "The continued execution of our cost-saving plan and operating efficiency improvements are driving our higher profit expectations for this year," said Timothy Kraus, Dana's senior vice president and chief financial officer. "Additionally, the tariff recovery mechanisms we have in place are functioning well and we expect to recover the majority of these costs within the year." 2025 Financial Targets for Continuing Operations Results for the Off-Highway business are reported as discontinued operations. The sales and adjusted EBITDA guidance targets below are for continuing operations for the full year 2025. The cash flow guidance targets below include cash flows from both continuing and discontinued operations to align with the deal structure.   Dana to Host Conference Call at 9 a.m. Wednesday, October 29 Dana will discuss its third-quarter results in a conference call at 9 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, October 29.

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 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 plus cash paid for Off-Highway business divestiture related activities. 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 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 outlook to the most comparable GAAP measures of net income (loss). Providing net income (loss) 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), 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.
