TOLEDO, Ohio, March 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dana Corporation
(OTC Bulletin Board: DCNAQ) today reported preliminary, unaudited consolidated
financial results for the quarter and full year ended Dec. 31, 2005.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19990903/DANA )
Fourth-Quarter 2005 Results
Sales for the fourth quarter of 2005 were $2,046 million, compared to
$1,988 million during the same period in 2004. The company expects to report
a net loss of $376 million for the quarter, including a loss from continuing
operations of $231 million. This compares to a net loss of $136 million in
the fourth quarter of 2004, which included a loss from continuing operations
of $72 million.
The fourth-quarter 2005 net loss will include unusual charges expected to
total $230 million, after tax. These include:
-- Charges of $123 million related to the previously announced planned
divestitures of the company's non-core engine hard parts, fluid
products, and pump products businesses that are currently held for sale
and will be classified as discontinued operations;
-- Goodwill impairment of $53 million;
-- Realignment charges and related asset impairments of $45 million;
-- A change in accounting related to the recognition of asset retirement
obligations of $2 million; and
-- A loss of $7 million on asset sales.
The balance of the fourth-quarter 2005 loss - expected to total $146
million, after tax - will be from operations. Continuing operations, before
unusual items, are expected to generate a loss of $126 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005 as compared to income of $54 million for the same period in
2004. Discontinued operations are expected to produce a loss of $20 million,
before unusual items, in the fourth quarter of 2005, which compares to a loss
of $19 million in the previous year's fourth quarter.
Full-Year 2005 Results
Sales of continuing operations for the full year 2005 were $8,611 million,
compared to $7,775 million in 2004. The company expects to report a 2005 net
loss of $1,602 million versus net income of $62 million in 2004. Included in
the net loss for 2005 is an expected loss from continuing operations of $1,172
million compared to income from continuing operations of $72 million in 2004.
In addition to the unusual fourth-quarter 2005 charges totaling $230 million,
the year-on-year change in earnings is expected to be driven primarily by
unusual items recorded in the third quarter of 2005. These items totaled
$1,209 million and included:
-- The provision of a $918 million valuation allowance to reduce Dana's
net U.S. and U.K. deferred tax assets, comprised of $835 million of
deferred tax assets as of Dec. 31, 2004, and additional benefits
recognized between the beginning of the year and June 30, 2005;
-- An impairment charge of $275 million, after tax, to reduce the book
value of certain assets of the non-core businesses that are now held
for sale; and
-- Aggregate charges of approximately $16 million related to the sale of
Dana's domestic fuel rail business and the dissolution of an engine
bearings joint venture.
Adjusted for unusual items, continuing operations are expected to generate
an after-tax loss of $215 million in 2005, compared to income of $165 million
in 2004. Discontinued operations, on the same basis, are expected to report
an after-tax loss of $36 million in 2005, compared to income of $48 million in
the prior year. Results from 2004 included income from the automotive
aftermarket businesses that were sold in November 2004.
Unusual items of $151 million, after tax, in 2004 included $171 million of
charges recorded in the fourth quarter, as well as $20 million of net gains
reported earlier in the year. The fourth-quarter 2004 charges included costs
associated with completing the divestiture of the company's automotive
aftermarket businesses, two facility closures and other manufacturing
realignments, and the repurchase of approximately $900 million of long-term
debt.
Business Segment Results for Continuing Operations
Sales in the Automotive Systems Group totaled $1,414 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005 and $5,941 million for the full year 2005, compared to $1,387
million and $5,384 million respectively during the fourth quarter and full
year 2004. On an EBIT basis, the group expects to record income of $6 million
during the fourth quarter of 2005 and $187 million for the full year 2005,
compared to $49 million and $300 million during the respective periods in
2004.
Sales in the Heavy Vehicle Technologies and Systems Group totaled $626
million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and $2,640 million for the full year
2005, compared to $580 million and $2,299 million respectively during the
fourth quarter and full year 2004. On an EBIT basis, the group expects to
record a loss of $9 million during the fourth quarter of 2005 and income of
$72 million for the full year 2005, compared to earnings of $36 million and
$161 million during the respective periods in 2004.
2005 Form 10-K Filing and Investor Communications
Dana will not file its 2005 Form 10-K by the March 31, 2006, extended
filing date because of the additional time required to complete its financial
statements and the related non-financial disclosures, in light of the
company's bankruptcy filing on March 3, 2006, and to complete its assessment
of internal control over financial reporting. The company expects to file its
2005 Form 10-K by April 30, 2006. This report will include - in addition to
Dana's audited financial statements and management's discussion and analysis
of financial condition and results of operations - information generally found
in the proxy statement.
The company has suspended its quarterly conference calls and annual
shareholder meetings until further notice.

(1) At December 31, 2005, although we had obtained waivers of certain
financial covenants through May 31, 2006, we had determined that
following expiration of the waivers, it was unlikely that we would be
able to comply with such covenants. As a consequence, under
accounting requirements for debt classification, we classified long-
term debt that is subject to acceleration in the event of non-
compliance with the financial covenants as debt payable within one
year.
