Forward guidance

Dana provided financial targets for the full year 2024, including sales of $10.2 to $10.4 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $855 to $895 million.

Tailwinds

  • Company-wide efficiency improvements and cost-savings actions driving higher profit and margins compared to last year
  • YOY free cash flow improvement driven by higher profit and lower capital spending
  • Margin benefiting from improved efficiencies and cost savings actions
  • Positive profit contribution on EV sales offset by investment in new program development costs
  • Maintaining full-year guidance due to lower capital spending

Headwinds

  • Lower sales driven by lower end-market demand in 2nd half
  • Weakening demand for electric vehicles driving lower sales compared to prior outlook
  • Organic growth impacted by lower end-market demand in 2nd half
  • Translation of foreign currency expected to be slight headwind to sales
  • Lower commodity costs resulting in lower sales recoveries; profit benefit of lower input cost is more than offset by the cost true-ups with customers
