BORGWARNER INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The statements are unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting only of recurring items, except as noted, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

We have reclassified certain 2004 amounts to conform to the presentation of our 2005 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

(2) Acquisition of Beru Aktiengesellschaft

On January 4, 2005, the Company acquired 62.2% of the outstanding shares of Beru Aktiengesellschaft (Beru), headquartered in Ludwigsburg, Germany, from the Carlyle Group and certain family shareholders. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company launched a tender offer for the remaining outstanding shares of Beru. The tender offer period officially ended on January 24, 2005. Presently the Company holds 69.42% of the shares of Beru at a total cost of approximately €420 million. Beru is a leading global automotive supplier of diesel cold starting technology (glow plugs and instant starting systems); gasoline ignition technology (spark plugs and ignition coils); and electronic and sensor technology (tire pressure sensors, diesel cabin heaters and selected sensors). The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the operating results of Beru within the Engine segment from the date of acquisition.

The impact of Beru on the Company’s future results will be affected by the allocation of the excess purchase price over the net book value of assets acquired between intangible assets and goodwill. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated based on estimated fair values as of the acquisition date as determined by third party valuation specialists. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and a final determination of required purchase accounting adjustments is expected to be made in late 2005.

The following pro forma information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 assumes the Beru acquisition occurred as of the beginning of that year and includes adjustments for the amortization of the estimated excess purchase price allocation, the immediate write-off of the excess purchase price associated with Beru’s in-process research and development and the Company’s acquisition financing costs in a manner consistent with the current period financial statements. The pro forma results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have been obtained had the acquisition been in effect for the period presented or that may be obtained in the future. The Company expects

6



to finalize the accounting for the acquisition of Beru in late 2005. Accordingly, this pro forma information does not include all costs related to the acquisition. When the costs are finalized, they will either change the amount of goodwill recorded and/or change net income, depending on the nature of the costs.

3)  Sale of Aktiengesellschaft Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch

On March 11, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its holdings in Aktiengesellschaft Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch (AGK) for €42 million to Turbo Group Gmbh, a private equity group. BorgWarner Europe Inc. acquired the stake in AGK, a turbomachinery company, from Penske Transportation International Corp., a subsidiary of Penske Corporation in 1997. Since that time AGK was treated as an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company and recorded as an "Investment in business held for sale" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investment was carried on a cost basis, with dividends received from AGK applied against the carrying value of the asset. The proceeds, net of closing costs, were approximately €40.3 million.

(4) Research and Development

Research and development (R&D) costs charged to expense were $40.0 million and $30.8 million for the three months ended, and $81.1 million and $60.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. R&D costs are included primarily in the selling, general, and administrative expenses of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

7



(5) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of U.S. inventories is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, while the foreign operations use the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average-cost methods. Inventories consisted of the following:

  June 30, December 31,  
(Millions) 2005 2004  
   

 
           
Raw materials $ 146.1 $ 104.6  
Work in progress   95.0   69.8  
Finished goods   110.1   49.0  
   
 
 
   Total inventories, net $ 351.2 $ 223.4  
   

 

 

(6) Stock-Based Compensation

SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” encourage, but do not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for fixed stock options because the exercise prices of the stock options equal the market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, which is the measurement date. The following table illustrates the effect on the Company’s net earnings and net earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123.

   Basic - as reported $ 0.64   $ 0.98     $ 2.01     $ 1.90  
 

 

   

   

 
   Basic - pro forma $ 0.61   $ 0.95     $ 1.97     $ 1.86  
 

 

   

   

 
                             
   Diluted - as reported $ 0.63   $ 0.97     $ 1.99     $ 1.88  
 

 

   

   

 
   Diluted - pro forma $ 0.61   $ 0.94     $ 1.94     $ 1.84  
 

 

   

   

 

In calculating earnings per share, earnings are the same for the basic and diluted calculations. Shares increased for diluted earnings per share by 661,000 and 617,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively, and 694,000 and 628,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, due to the effects of stock options and shares issuable under the Executive Stock Performance Plan.

(7) Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The projected effective tax rate of 20.6% for 2005 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a) the release of tax accrual accounts upon conclusion of certain tax audits, b) the tax effects of the disposition of AGK and other miscellaneous dispositions, c) foreign rates which differ from those in the US and d) realization of certain business tax credits including research and foreign tax credits. If the effects of the tax accrual release, the disposition of AGK and other miscellaneous dispositions are not taken into account, the Company's effective tax rate associated with its on-going business operations is approximately 29.0%. This rate is lower than the 2004 tax rate for on-going operations of 30.0% due to changes in the mix of global pre-tax income amongst taxing jurisdictions.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FSP 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (AJCA), and FSP 109-2 “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the AJCA.” These two FSPs provide guidance on the application of the new provisions of the AJCA, which was signed into law on October 22, 2004.

9



 

The AJCA provides a deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities, which will be phased in from 2005 through 2010. In return, the AJCA provides for a two-year phase-out of the existing extra-territorial income exclusion (ETI) for foreign sales that was viewed to be inconsistent with international trade protocols by the European Union. Under the guidance in FSP 109-1, the deduction will be treated as a “special deduction” as described in SFAS 109. As such, the special deduction has no effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities existing at the enactment date. Rather, the impact of this deduction will be reported in the period in which the deduction is claimed on our tax return. The Company does not expect the net effect of the phase out of the ETI and the phase in of this new deduction to have a material impact on its effective tax rate.

FSP 109-2 provides guidance on the accounting for the deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated, as defined in the AJCA. The Company may elect to apply this provision (“the election”) to qualifying earnings repatriations in 2005.

The Company has decided on a plan for reinvestment of repatriation of foreign earnings (as a result of the repatriation provision) and obtained approval for the repatriation plan from the Board of Directors on July 26, 2005. The Company intends to repatriate foreign earnings of approximately $71.4 million from its Non-US subsidiaries during 2005. Of the approximately $71.4 million, the Company intends to make an election under the AJCA with respect to approximately $18.5 million. The Company intends to use this $18.5 million to pay down its US debt obligations and invest in R&D. The Company is estimating a minimal effect from the election on income tax expense for 2005.

The Company has a revolving credit facility, which provides for committed borrowings up to $600 million through July 2009. At June 30, 2005, $50.0 million of borrowings under the facility were outstanding in addition to $0.5 million of obligations under standby letters of credit. At December 31, 2004 the facility was unused. The credit agreement is subject to the usual terms and conditions applied by banks to an investment grade company. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and expects to be compliant in future periods.

(9) Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, and notes payable. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the book value approximates fair value. The Company’s financial instruments also include long-term debt, interest rate and currency swaps, commodity swap contracts, and foreign currency forward contracts.

11



 

The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing its exposure to fixed and variable rates while attempting to minimize its interest costs. The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market value risk associated with changes in interest rates (fair value hedges). We also selectively use cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency exposure associated with our net investment in certain foreign operations (net investment hedges). A summary of these instruments outstanding at June 30, 2005 follows (currency in millions):

a) The maturity of the swaps corresponds with the maturity of the hedged item as noted in the debt summary. b) Interest rates are as of June 30, 2005.

As of June 30, 2005, the fair value of the fixed to floating interest rate swaps were recorded as a long-term asset of $10.0 million and a long-term liability of $(1.2) million. As of December 31, 2004, the fair value of the fixed to floating interest rate swaps were recorded as a long-term asset of $6.9 million.

The cross currency swaps were recorded at their fair values of $11.4 million included in other long-term assets, and $(10.5) million included in other long-term liabilities at June 30, 2005 and $(33.1) million in other long-term liabilities at December 31, 2004. Fair value is based on quoted market prices for contracts with similar maturities.

The Company also entered into certain commodity derivative instruments to protect against commodity price changes related to forecast raw material and supply purchases. The primary purpose of the commodity price hedging activities is to manage the volatility associated with these forecasted purchases. The Company primarily utilizes forward and option contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges. These instruments are intended to

12



offset the effect of changes in commodity prices on forecasted purchases. As of June 30, 2005 the Company had forward and option commodity contracts with a total notional value of $1.2 million. The fair market value of the swap contracts was $0.4 million as of June 30, 2005, which is deferred in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified and matched into income as the underlying operating transactions are realized. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, hedge ineffectiveness associated with these contracts was not significant.

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to protect against exchange rate movements for forecasted cash flows for purchases, operating expenses or sales transactions designated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit. Most contracts mature in less than one year, however certain long-term commitments are covered by forward currency arrangements to protect against currency risk through the second quarter of 2009. Foreign currency contracts require the Company, at a future date, to either buy or sell foreign currency in exchange for the operating units local currency. At June 30, 2005 contracts were outstanding to buy or sell U.S. Dollars, Euros, British Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars and Hungarian Forints. Gains and losses arising from these contracts are deferred in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified and matched into income as the underlying operating transactions are realized. As of June 30, 2005 deferred gains amounted to $5.4 million ($3.4 million maturing in less than one year) and unrealized losses amounted to $(0.5) million ($(0.3) million maturing in less than one year). As of December 31, 2004 unrealized gains amounted to $8.8 million and unrealized losses amounted to $(4.1) million. Hedge ineffectiveness associated with these contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2005 amounted to a gain of $0.1 million. Hedge ineffectiveness associated with these contracts was not significant in 2004.

(10) Contingencies

In the normal course of business the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving intellectual property claims, general liability and various other risks. The Company’s environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. The Company’s management does not expect that the results in any of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company and its subsidiaries will ultimately be successful in any of these legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be.

Environmental

The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (PRPs) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (Superfund) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may presently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 38 such sites. Responsibility for

13



clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.

The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or future operating results, generally either because estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not large or because liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.

Based on information available to the Company, which in most cases, includes: an estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public companies, will fully pay the cost apportioned to them; currently available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimated remediation and consulting costs; remediation alternatives; estimated legal fees; and other factors; the Company has established an accrual for indicated environmental liabilities with a balance at June 30, 2005 of approximately $69.8 million. Included in the total accrued liability is the $45.5 million anticipated cost to settle all outstanding claims related to Crystal Springs described below, which was recorded in the second quarter of 2005. The Company expects to expend the $69.8 million environmental accrued liability over the next three to five years.

In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities relating to the past operations of Kuhlman Electric. The liabilities at issue result from operations of Kuhlman Electric that pre-date the Company’s acquisition of Kuhlman Electric’s parent company, Kuhlman Corporation, during 1999. During 2000, Kuhlman Electric notified the Company that it discovered potential environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant while undertaking an expansion of the plant. Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, have been sued in numerous related lawsuits, in which multiple claimants allege personal injury and property damage.

The Company and other defendants, including the Company’s subsidiary Kuhlman Corporation, entered into a settlement regarding approximately 90% of personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination. In exchange for, among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits, the defendants agreed to pay a total sum of up to $39.0 million in settlement funds. The actual amount paid in settlement will depend upon the number of plaintiffs who opt-out of the settlement. The settlement will be paid in three approximately equal installments in the third and fourth quarters of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006.

Product Liability

Like many other industrial companies who have historically operated in the United States, the Company (or parties the Company indemnifies) continues to be named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions. Management believes that the Company’s involvement is limited

14



because, in general, these claims relate to a few types of automotive friction products, manufactured many years ago that contained encapsulated asbestos. The nature of the fibers, the encapsulation and the manner of use lead the Company to believe that these products are highly unlikely to cause harm. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately 85,000 pending asbestos-related product liability claims. Of these outstanding claims, approximately 76,000 are pending in just three jurisdictions, where significant tort reform activities are underway.

The Company’s policy is to aggressively defend against these lawsuits and the Company has been successful in obtaining dismissal of many claims without any payment. The Company expects that the vast majority of the pending asbestos-related product liability claims where it is a defendant (or has an obligation to indemnify a defendant) will result in no payment being made by the Company or its insurers. In the first six months of 2005, of the approximately 10,800 claims resolved, only 184 (1.7%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In 2004 of the 4,062 claims settled, only 255 (6.3%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In 2003 of the 4,664 claims settled, only 273 (5.9%) resulted in any payment being made to claimants. The settlement and defense costs of these claims were paid by the insurance carriers, except for $3.6 million paid in the first six months of 2005 and $1.0 million for the full year in 2004 as described in the paragraph below. Based upon the encapsulated nature of the products, our experiences in aggressively defending and resolving claims in the past, and our significant insurance coverage with solvent carriers as of the date of this filing, management does not believe that asbestos-related product liability claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Prior to June 2004, all claims were covered by the Company’s primary layer insurance coverage, and these carriers administered, defended, settled and paid all claims under a funding agreement. In June 2004, the Company was notified by primary layer insurance carriers of the exhaustion of their policy limits. This led the Company to access the next available layer of insurance coverage. Since June 2004, secondary layer insurers have paid asbestos-related litigation defense and settlement expenses pursuant to a funding agreement. The Company has paid $3.6 million in the first half of 2005 and $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 as a result of the funding agreement. The Company is expecting to fully recover these amounts. Recovery is dependant on the completion of an audit proving the exhaustion of primary insurance coverage and the successful resolution of the declaratory judgment action referred to below.

The Company’s contractual relationship with the secondary layer carriers provides a change in circumstances and allows the Company to take a more direct role in defending and settling claims than with the primary carriers. Previously, the Company’s arrangement utilized the primary layer insurance carriers’ positions to defend and negotiate the settlements with periodic input from the Company.

At June 30, 2005, the Company has a liability of $38.2 million; with a related asset of $38.2 million to recognize the insurance proceeds receivable to the Company for estimated claim losses. At December 31, 2004, the comparable value of the insurance receivable and accrued liability was $40.8 million.

The amounts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

  June 30,   December 31,  
(Millions) 2005    2004    
 
 
 
Assets:            
   Prepayments and other current assets $ 12.6   $ 13.5  
   Other non-current assets   25.6     27.3

   Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 12.6   $ 13.5  
   Long-term liabilities – other   25.6     27.3  
   
   
 
      Total accrued liability $ 38.2   $ 40.8  
 

 

 

We cannot reasonably estimate possible losses, if any, in excess of those for which we have accrued, because we cannot predict how many additional claims may be brought against the Company (or parties the Company has an obligation to indemnify) in the future, the allegations in such claims, the possible outcomes, or the impact of tort reform legislation currently being considered at the State and Federal level.

A declaratory judgment action was filed in January 2004 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois by Continental Casualty Company and related companies (CNA) against the Company and certain of its other historical general liability insurers. CNA provided the Company with both primary and additional layer insurance, and, in conjunction with other insurers, is currently defending and indemnifying the Company in its pending asbestos-related product liability claims. The lawsuit seeks to determine the extent of insurance coverage available to the Company including whether the available limits exhaust on a “per occurrence” or an “aggregate” basis, and to determine how the applicable coverage responsibilities should be apportioned. In addition to the primary insurance available for asbestos-related claims, the Company has substantial additional layers of insurance available for potential future asbestos-related product claims.

Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims; due to the encapsulated nature of the products, our experiences in aggressively defending and resolving claims in the past, and our significant insurance coverage with solvent carriers as of the date of this filing, management does not believe that asbestos-related product liability claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

(11) Leases and Commitments

The Company has guaranteed the residual values of certain leased machinery and equipment at one of its facilities. The guarantees extend through the maturity of the underlying lease, which is in December 2005. In the event the Company exercises its option not to purchase the machinery and equipment,

16



the Company has guaranteed a residual value of $16.3 million. The Company does not believe it has any loss exposure due to this guarantee.

The Company entered into two separate royalty agreements with Honeywell International for certain variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers in order to continue shipping to its OEM customers after a German court ruled in favor of Honeywell in a patent infringement action. The two separate royalty agreements were signed in July 2002 and June 2003, respectively. The July 2002 agreement was effective immediately and expired in June 2003. The June 2003 agreement was effective July 2003 and covers the period through 2006 with a minimum royalty for shipments up to certain volume levels and a per unit royalty for any units sold above these stated amounts.

The royalty costs recognized under the agreements for the three and six months ended June 30 were $0.5 million and $1.0 million in 2005 and $4.9 million and $9.6 million in 2004, respectively. These costs were all recognized as part of cost of goods sold. These costs will continue to decrease in 2005 and be at minimal levels in 2006 as the Company’s primary customers have converted most of their requirements to the next generation VTG turbocharger.

(12) Warranties The Company provides warranties on some of its products. The warranty terms are typically from one to three years. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims. Management actively studies trends of warranty claims and takes action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. Management believes that the warranty accrual is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the accrual. The accrual is recorded in both long-term and short-term liabilities on the balance sheet. The following table summarizes the activity in the warranty accrual accounts:<br></br>

(13) Comprehensive Income / (Loss)

Comprehensive income/(loss) is a measurement of all changes in stockholders’ equity that result from transactions and other economic events other than transactions with stockholders. For the Company, this includes foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in the minimum pension liability adjustment and market value changes in certain hedge instruments. The amounts presented as other comprehensive income/(loss), net of related taxes, are added to net income resulting in comprehensive income/(loss). The following table summarizes the components of comprehensive income/(loss) on an after-tax basis for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

(15) Sales of Receivables

The Company securitizes and sells certain receivables through third party financial institutions without recourse. The amount sold can vary each month based on the amount of underlying receivables. At both June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company had sold $50 million of receivables under a Receivables Transfer Agreement for face value without recourse. During both of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, total cash proceeds from sales of accounts receivable were $300 million. The Company paid servicing fees related to these receivables of $0.8 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These amounts are recorded in interest expense and finance charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(19) New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, “Inventory Costs” which is an amendment of ARB No.43, Chapter

4. This statement provides clarification of accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. Generally, this statement requires that those items be recognized as current period charges. SFAS 151 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 151 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Shared-Based Payment” which requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments at fair value. Share-based payments include stock option grants and certain transactions under other Company stock plans. The Company grants options to purchase common stock of the Company to some of its employees and directors under various plans at prices equal to the market value of the stock on the dates the options are granted. SFAS 123R will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” an interpretation of SFAS 143. FIN 47 clarifies the manner in which uncertainties concerning the timing and the method of settlement of an asset retirement obligation should be accounted for. In addition, the Interpretation clarifies the circumstances under which fair value of an asset retirement obligation is considered subject to reasonable estimation. The Interpretation is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently

22



evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 47 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the Company) is a leading global supplier of highly engineered systems and components primarily for powertrain applications. Our products help improve vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, air quality and vehicle stability. They are manufactured and sold worldwide, primarily to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of light-vehicles (i.e. passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles, vans and light-trucks). Our products are also manufactured and sold to OEMs of commercial trucks, buses and agricultural and off-highway vehicles. We operate manufacturing facilities serving customers in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and are an original equipment supplier to every major OEM in the world.

The Company’s products fall into two reportable operating segments: Drivetrain and Engine. The Drivetrain segment is comprised of all-wheel drive transfer cases, torque management systems and components and systems for automatic and automated transmissions. The Engine segment’s products include turbochargers, timing chain systems, air management, emissions and thermal systems as well as diesel and gas ignition systems.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2005 vs. Three months ended June 30, 2004

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005 totaled $1,111.4 million, a 24.4% increase over the second quarter of 2004 including Beru, and were up 10.9% excluding Beru. This increase occurred in a market where global light-vehicle production was up 1.5% from the previous year’s quarter. Light-vehicle production in North America was down 1.7%. Light-vehicle production was up 3.4% in Asia and flat in Europe. Approximately $21.0 million of the net sales increase was due to stronger currencies, primarily the Euro. Turbochargers, ignition systems and automatic transmission components and systems are the products most affected by currency fluctuations in Europe and Asia. Without the currency impact, the increase in net sales would have been 22.1% due to strong demand for the Company’s products in Europe and Asia; and the acquisition of Beru

Gross profit and gross margin were $232.5 million and 20.9% for the second quarter 2005 including the impact of Beru, as compared to $169.8 million and 19.0% for the second quarter 2004. Excluding Beru, our gross margin was 18.3%. The impact of higher commodity prices for steel, copper and aluminum, as well as the volume impact related to lower North American SUV/pickup truck-related sales, negatively impacted gross margin on our base business. The increase in commodity costs from the second quarter 2004 was approximately $11.7 million of which steel was the single largest contributor. Our focused cost reduction programs in our operations partially offset these higher commodity costs.

 

24



Second quarter selling, general and administrative costs increased $43.1 million from $87.8 million to $130.9 million, and increased as a percentage of sales from 9.8% to 11.8% of net sales. Included in the increase was $4.2 million of depreciation and amortization of the excess purchase price related to the acquisition of our majority stake in Beru. Research and development costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses also increased $9.2 million from $30.8 million or 3.5% of net sales to $40.0 million or 3.6% of net sales from the second quarter of 2004. The inclusion of Beru in the Company’s operating results is responsible for $40.2 million of the increase in selling, general and administrative costs.

Other, net includes a $45.5 million charge related to the anticipated cost of settling all Crystal Springs-related alleged environmental contamination personal injury and property damage claims.

Equity in affiliate earnings was $0.4 million lower in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2004.

Second quarter interest expense and finance charges increased $2.1 million from second quarter 2004 due primarily to increased debt levels from funding our Beru acquisition.

The Company's provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The projected effective tax rate of 20.6% for 2005 differs from the US statutory rate primarily due to a) the release of tax accrual accounts upon conclusion of certain tax audits, b) the tax effects of the disposition of AGK and other miscellaneous dispositions, c) foreign rates which differ from those in the US and d) realization of certain business tax credits including research and foreign tax credits. If the effects of the tax accrual release, the disposition of AGK and other miscellaneous dispositions are not taken into account, the Company's effective tax rate associated with its on-going business operations is approximately 29.0%. This rate is lower than the 2004 tax rate for on-going operations of 30.0% due to changes in the mix of global pre-tax income amongst taxing jurisdictions.

Net earnings were $35.9 million for the second quarter, or $0.63 per diluted share, a decrease of ($0.34) over the previous year’s second quarter. The decrease from the prior year second quarter was due to favorable operating results of $0.14 per share including Beru, an unfavorable after tax charge of ($0.50) related to the anticipated cost of settling all Crystal Springs-related claims, favorable currency impact of $0.03 per share and a $(0.01) per share decrease due to an increase in shares outstanding.

Six months ended June 30, 2005 vs. Six months ended June 30, 2004

Consolidated net sales for the first six months ended June 30, 2005 totaled $2,194.9 million, a 22.2% increase over the first six months of 2004 including Beru, and were up 7.8% excluding Beru. This increase occurred in a market where global light-vehicle production was up 0.9% from the previous year’s first six months. Light-vehicle production in North America was down 3.1%. Light-vehicle production was up 3.7% in Asia and down slightly in Europe. Net primarily the sales increased $42.2 million due to stronger currencies, Euro. Turbochargers, ignition systems and automatic transmission components and systems are the products most affected by

25



currency fluctuations in Europe and Asia. Without the currency impact, the increase in net sales would have been 19.9% due to strong demand for the Company’s products in Europe and Asia; and the acquisition of Beru.

Gross profit and gross margin were $446.1 million and 20.3% for the first six months of 2005 including the impact of Beru, as compared to $342.3 million and 19.1% for the second quarter 2004. Excluding Beru, our gross margin was 18.2%. Gross profit margins were impacted negatively primarily due to higher prices for commodities, including steel, copper and aluminum. The increase in commodity costs from the first six months of 2004 was approximately $24.7 million. Our focused cost reduction programs in our operations partially offset these higher commodity costs.

Selling, general and administrative costs increased $83.3 million from $182.5 million to $265.8 million, and increased as a percentage of sales from 10.2% to 12.1% of net sales. Included in the increase was $21.3 million of depreciation and amortization of the excess purchase price related to the acquisition of our majority stake in Beru. Research and development costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses also increased $20.7 million from $60.4 million or 3.4% of net sales to $81.1 million or 3.7% of net sales from the first six months of 2004. The inclusion of Beru in the Company’s operating results is responsible for $74.5 million of the increase in selling, general and administrative costs.

Other, net includes a $45.5 million charge related to the anticipated cost of settling all Crystal Springs-related alleged environmental contamination personal injury and property damage claims. Equity in affiliate earnings was $2.9 million lower in the first six months of 2005 as compared to the first six months of 2004 due to adjustments to the carrying values of our equity investments in the first quarter.

Interest expense and finance charges in 2005 increased $4.0 million compared with the first six months of 2004 due primarily to increased debt levels from funding our Beru acquisition.

The Company's provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The projected effective tax rate of 20.6% for 2005 differs from the US statutory rate primarily due to a) the release of tax accrual accounts upon conclusion of certain tax audits, b) the tax effects of the disposition of AGK and other miscellaneous dispositions, c) foreign rates which differ from those in the US and d) realization of certain business tax credits including research and foreign tax credits. If the effects of the tax accrual release, the disposition of AGK and other miscellaneous dispositions are not taken into account, the Company's effective tax rate associated with its on-going business operations is approximately 29.0%. This rate is lower than the 2004 tax rate for on-going operations of 30.0% due to changes in the mix of global pre-tax income amongst taxing jurisdictions.

Net earnings were $113.6 million for the first six months, or $1.99 per diluted share compared to $105.8 million or $1.88 per share for the first six months of 2004. The increase of $0.11 per share from the prior year’s first six months is comprised of the following factors, including certain non-U.S. GAAP measures:

Three months ended June 30, 2005 vs. Three months ended June 30, 2004

The Drivetrain segment net sales increased $3.3 million, or 1.0% and segment earnings before interest and taxes increased $3.9 million, or 16.4% from the second quarter of 2004. Sales growth outside of North America including increased sales of DualTronicTM transmission modules offset the 4.0% decline

in North American light truck and sport utility vehicle volumes. The Drivetrain segment’s earnings before interest and taxes grew 16.4% for the quarter due to the volume increase and improved product mix related to DualTronicTM transmission module production.

The Engine segment net sales increased $214.3 million, or 38.3% and segment earnings before interest and taxes increased $16.9 million, or 22.3% from the second quarter of 2004. The increase in net sales was partially due to the acquisition of our majority stake in Beru whose operating results are now included in this segment. Excluding the impact of the Beru acquisition, Engine segment net sales were 16.8% higher than the prior year. The Engine segment continues to benefit from strong demand for turbochargers for European passenger cars and commercial vehicle applications. Sales of timing chains increased as well, particularly to our Asian customers. The EBIT margin decreased from 2004 due to unfavorable product mix related to the increased turbocharger business, which has a lower contribution margin, and to the amortization of Beru related acquisition costs.

Six months ended June 30, 2005 vs. Six months ended June 30, 2004

The Drivetrain segment net sales decreased $23.9 million, or 3.4% and segment earnings before interest and taxes decreased $3.9 million, or 7.2% from the first six months of 2004. The net sales decrease was a result of weaker sport-utility and light truck production in North America, partially offset by increased sales of DualTronicTM transmission modules. The segment earnings before interest and taxes margin decrease was due primarily to the incremental profit loss on the lower sales volumes and commodity and health care cost increases incurred during the first six months.

The Engine segment net sales increased $419.6 million, or 37.6% and segment earnings before interest and taxes increased $25.9 million, or 18.0% from the first six months of 2004. The increase in net sales was partially due to the acquisition of our majority stake in Beru whose operating results are now included in this segment.

28



 

Excluding the impact of the Beru acquisition, Engine segment net sales were 14.3% higher than the prior year. The Engine segment continues to benefit from strong demand for turbochargers for European passenger cars and commercial vehicle applications. Sales of timing chains increased as well, particularly to our Asian customers. The EBIT margin decreased from 2004 due to the unfavorable product mix and the amortization of Beru related acquisition costs.

Outlook for the remainder of 2005

For the remainder of 2005, the trends that are driving our growth are expected to continue. These trends include the growth of diesel engines in Europe, the popularity of cross-over vehicles in North America and the move to chain engine timing systems in both Europe and Asia. Our sales growth continues to expand outside of North America. For 2005, we expect our sales in Europe and Asia to exceed our sales in North America for the first time in the Company’s history. North American sport-utility vehicle and light truck sales are expected to continue to show weakness in 2005. The Company continues to focus on its cost reduction efforts to offset this market weakness and the effects of commodity price increases. We anticipate commodity price increases will exceed $40 million for 2005, primarily from steel.

The Company maintains a positive long-term outlook for its business and is committed to ongoing strategic investments in capital and new product development to enhance its product leadership strategy.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $38.4 million from $221.5 million in the first half of 2004 to $183.1 million for the first half of 2005. The decrease in operating cash flow from 2004 was primarily due to tax payments made by our non-U.S. entities, including $22.4 million by Beru of which $10.4 million related to a recently completed statutory tax audit. In 2004, the Company funded its U.S. employee retirement benefit plans with $25.8 million of the Company’s common stock.

Capital spending, including tooling outlays, was $113.4 million in the first six months in 2005, compared with $114.3 million in 2004. Selective capital spending remains an area of focus for the Company, both in order to support our new business of $1.4 billion expected over the next three years and for cost reductions and productivity improvements. The Company expects to spend $240 million to $280 million on capital expenditures in 2005, but this expectation is subject to ongoing review based on market conditions.

As of June 30, 2005, debt increased from year-end 2004 by $244.5 million, and cash and cash equivalents decreased by $83.1 million. The debt increase was primarily due to the funding of our Beru acquisition. Our debt to capital ratio was 34.6% at the end of the second quarter versus 27.6% at the end of 2004. The Company paid dividends of $15.8 million and $13.9 million in the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Company securitizes and sells certain receivables through third party financial institutions without recourse. The amount sold can vary each month

29



based on the amount of underlying receivables. At both June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company had sold $50 million of receivables under a Receivables Transfer Agreement for face value without recourse. During both of the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, total cash proceeds from sales of accounts receivable were $300 million. The Company paid servicing fees for the three and six months ended June 30, $0.4 million and $0.2 million and $0.8 million and $0.4 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively, related to these receivables. These amounts are recorded in interest expense and finance charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company has a revolving credit facility, which provides for committed borrowings up to $600 million through July 2009. At June 30, 2005, $50.0 million of borrowings under the facility were outstanding in addition to $0.5 million of obligations under standby letters of credit. At December 31, 2004 the facility was unused. The credit agreement is subject to the usual terms and conditions applied by banks to an investment grade company. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and expects to be compliant in future periods.

From a credit quality perspective, we have an investment grade credit rating of A- (stable outlook) from Standard & Poor’s and Baa2 (positive outlook) from Moody’s.

The Company believes that the combination of cash balances, cash flow from operations, available credit facilities and universal shelf registration will be sufficient to satisfy its cash needs for the current level of operations and planned operations for the remainder of 2005. The Company expects that net cash provided by operating activities will exceed $400 million in 2005.

OTHER MATTERS

Contingencies

In the normal course of business the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving intellectual property claims, general liability and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company and its subsidiaries will ultimately be successful in any of these legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. The Company’s environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. The Company’s management does not expect that the results in any of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Environmental

The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (PRPs) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (Superfund) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may presently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 38 such sites. Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.

30



 

The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or future operating results, generally either because estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not large or because liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.

Based on information available to the Company, which in most cases, includes: an estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public companies, will fully pay the cost apportioned to them; currently available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimated remediation and consulting costs; remediation alternatives; estimated legal fees; and other factors; the Company has established a accrual for indicated environmental liabilities with a balance at June 30, 2005 of approximately $69.8 million. Included in the total accrued liability is the $45.5 million anticipated cost to settle all outstanding claims related to Crystal Springs described below, which was recorded in the second quarter of 2005.  The Company expects to expend the $69.8 million environmental accrued liability over the next three to five years.

In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities relating to the past operations of Kuhlman Electric. The liabilities at issue result from operations of Kuhlman Electric that pre-date the Company’s acquisition of Kuhlman Electric’s parent company, Kuhlman Corporation, during 1999. During 2000, Kuhlman Electric notified the Company that it discovered potential environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant while undertaking an expansion of the plant.

The Company has been working with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and Kuhlman Electric to investigate the extent of and remediate the contamination. The investigation revealed the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in portions of the soil at the plant and neighboring areas. Clean up began in 2000 and is continuing. Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, have been sued in numerous related lawsuits, in which multiple claimants allege personal injury and property damage.

The Company and other defendants including the Company’s subsidiary Kuhlman Corporation, entered into a settlement regarding approximately 90% of personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination. In exchange for, among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits, the defendants agreed to pay a total sum of up to $39 million in settlement funds. The actual amount paid in settlement will depend upon the number of plaintiffs who opt-out of the settlement. The settlement will be paid in three approximately equal installments in the third and fourth quarters of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006.

31



Product Liability

Like many other industrial companies who have historically operated in the United States, the Company (or parties the Company indemnifies) continues to be named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions. Management believes that the Company’s involvement is limited because, in general, these claims relate to a few types of automotive friction products, manufactured many years ago that contained encapsulated asbestos. The nature of the fibers, the encapsulation and the manner of use lead the Company to believe that these products are highly unlikely to cause harm. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately 85,000 pending asbestos-related product liability claims. Of these outstanding claims, approximately 76,000 are pending in just three jurisdictions, where significant tort reform activities are underway.

The Company’s policy is to aggressively defend against these lawsuits and the Company has been successful in obtaining dismissal of many claims without any payment. The Company expects that the vast majority of the pending asbestos-related product liability claims where it is a defendant (or has an obligation to indemnify a defendant) will result in no payment being made by the Company or its insurers. In the first six months of 2005, of the approximately 10,800 claims resolved, only 184 (1.7%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In 2004 of the 4,062 claims settled, only 255 (6.3%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In 2003 of the 4,664 claims settled, only 273 (5.9%) resulted in any payment being made to claimants. The settlement and defense costs of these claims were paid by the insurance carriers, except for the $3.6 million paid in the first six months of 2005 and $1.0 million for the full year in 2004 as described in the paragraph below. Based upon the encapsulated nature of the products, our experiences in aggressively defending and resolving claims in the past, and our significant insurance coverage with solvent carriers as of the date of this filing, management does not believe that asbestos-related product liability claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Prior to June 2004, all claims were covered by the Company’s primary layer insurance coverage, and these carriers administered, defended, settled and paid all claims under a funding agreement. In June 2004, the Company was notified by primary layer insurance carriers of the exhaustion of their policy limits. This led the Company to access the next available layer of insurance coverage. Since June 2004, secondary layer insurers have paid asbestos-related litigation defense and settlement expenses pursuant to a funding agreement. The Company has paid $3.6 million in the first half of 2005 and $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 as a result of the funding agreement. The Company is expecting to fully recover these amounts. Recovery is dependant on the completion of an audit proving the exhaustion of primary insurance coverage and the successful resolution of the declaratory judgment action referred to below.

The Company’s contractual relationship with the secondary layer carriers provides a change in circumstances and allows the Company to take a more direct role in defending and settling claims than with the primary carriers. Previously, the Company’s arrangement utilized the primary layer insurance carriers’ positions to defend and negotiate the settlements with periodic input from the Company.

At June 30, 2005, the Company recorded a liability of $38.2 million; with a related asset of $38.2 million to recognize the insurance proceeds receivable to the Company for estimated claim losses. At December 31, 2004, the comparable value of the insurance receivable and accrued liability was $40.8 million.

The amounts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

  June 30,   December 31,  
(Millions) 2005     2004    


   
   
Assets:            
   Prepayments and other current assets $ 12.6   $ 13.5  
   Other non-current assets   25.6     27.3  
   
   
 
      Total insurance receivable $ 38.2   $ 40.8  
 

 

 
             
Liabilities:            
   Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 12.6   $ 13.5  
   Long-term liabilities – other   25.6     27.3  
   
   
 
      Total accrued liability $ 38.2   $ 40.8  
 

 

 

We cannot reasonably estimate possible losses, if any, in excess of those for which we have accrued, because we cannot predict how many additional claims may be brought against the Company (or parties the Company has an obligation to indemnify) in the future, the allegations in such claims, the possible outcomes, or the impact of tort reform legislation currently being considered at the State and Federal level.

A declaratory judgment action was filed in January 2004 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois by Continental Casualty Company and related companies (CNA) against the Company and certain of its other historical general liability insurers. CNA provided the Company with both primary and additional layer insurance, and, in conjunction with other insurers, is currently defending and indemnifying the Company in all of its pending asbestos-related product liability claims. The lawsuit seeks to determine the extent of insurance coverage available to the Company including whether the available limits exhaust on a “per occurrence” or an “aggregate” basis, and to determine how the applicable coverage responsibilities should be apportioned. In addition to the primary insurance available for asbestos-related claims, the Company has substantial additional layers of insurance available for potential future asbestos-related product claims.

Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims; due to the encapsulated nature of the products, our experiences in aggressively defending and resolving claims in the past, and our significant insurance coverage with solvent carriers as of the date of this filing, management does not believe that asbestos-related product liability claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards

33



(SFAS) No. 151, “Inventory Costs” which is an amendment of ARB No.43, Chapter

4. This statement provides clarification of accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. Generally, this statement requires that those items be recognized as current period charges. SFAS 151 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 151 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Shared-Based Payment” which requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments at fair value. Share-based payments include stock option grants and certain transactions under other Company stock plans. The Company grants options to purchase common stock of the Company to some of its employees and directors under various plans at prices equal to the market value of the stock on the dates the options are granted. SFAS 123R will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” an interpretation of SFAS 143. FIN 47 clarifies the manner in which uncertainties concerning the timing and the method of settlement of an asset retirement obligation should be accounted for. In addition, the Interpretation clarifies the circumstances under which fair value of an asset retirement obligation is considered subject to reasonable estimation. The Interpretation is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 47 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recent Developments

A. Sale of AGK

On March 11, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its holdings in AGK for €42 million to Turbo Group Gmbh, a private equity group. BorgWarner Europe Inc. acquired the stake in AGK, a turbomachinery company, from Penske Transportation International Corp., a subsidiary of Penske Corporation in 1997. Since that time AGK was treated as an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company and recorded as an “Investment in business held for sale” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investment was carried on a cost basis, with dividends received from AGK applied against the carrying value of the asset. The proceeds, net of closing costs, were approximately €40.3 million.

B. Actions of Credit Rating Agencies

On March 17, 2005, Standard & Poor’s affirmed their long-term credit rating of A- for the Company and removed the Company from the credit watch status that was assigned following the November 1, 2004 announcement of the Beru AG acquisition. Standard & Poor’s indicated that, as a result of the Beru
