Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Operating margin = operating income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

Percentile = share of the N covered peers reporting that ratio whose value is lower (ties counted half); computed among grepcent-covered companies in SIC industry 3714 Motor Vehicle Parts & Accessories, not the whole market. A higher percentile means a higher value of the ratio, not a better company. Ratios with fewer than 8 reporting peers are omitted. Latest reported values per company; fiscal periods may differ. Descriptive arithmetic - not a score, rating, or ranking.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Dollars in millions)

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes in this report.

Forward-Looking Information

Statements in this report (or otherwise made by us or on our behalf) that are not entirely historical constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “projects,” “outlook,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing” and similar expressions, variations or negatives of these words. These statements represent the present expectations of Dana Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries (Dana) based on our current information and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Our plans, actions and actual results could differ materially from our present expectations due to a number of factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this report.

Recent Strategic Actions

Cost reduction initiatives — During the fourth quarter of 2024, we announced further actions to support sustained long-term profitability and enhanced cash flow generation. This includes substantial reduction in selling, general and administrative costs and aligning engineering expenses to match current industry dynamics, including the ongoing delay in the adoption of electric vehicles. We expect to deliver annualized savings of $325 through 2026. Approximately $260 of annualized savings was realized through 2025 with an additional $65 to be realized in 2026. See Note 4 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

Segment realignment — Through December 2024, we managed our operations globally through four operating segments. Our Light Vehicle and Power Technologies segments primarily supported light vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with products for light trucks, SUVs, CUVs, vans and passenger cars. Our Commercial Vehicles segment supported the OEMs of on-highway commercial vehicles (primarily trucks and buses), while our Off-Highway segment supported OEMs of off-highway vehicles (primarily wheeled vehicles used in construction, mining and agricultural applications). In the first quarter of 2025, our Power Technologies segment was integrated into our Light Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle segments, streamlining the business, enhancing our go-to-market approach and serving our customers more efficiently. The OEM-facing business was integrated into our Light Vehicle segment while the aftermarket business was integrated into our Commercial Vehicle segment. See Note 17 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

Divestiture of Off-Highway Business — Dana has embarked on a strategic plan to focus on our core on-highway markets, creating a more focused and nimble Dana through the divestiture of our Off-Highway business. In June 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Off-Highway business to Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. We analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the divestiture of our Off-Highway business and determined that the conditions for discontinued operations presentation had been met. As such, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of that business are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Prior period amounts have been recast to reflect discontinued operations presentation. The transaction closed on January 1, 2026, with Dana receiving cash proceeds of $2,630. See Note 1 and Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

Capital Structure Initiatives — Net cash proceeds from the Off-Highway business divestiture were used to pay down debt, strengthening Dana’s financial position, and provide capital returns to shareholders. On January 7, 2026, we purchased, via a net proceeds tender offer, $138 of our November 2027 Notes, $142 of our June 2028 Notes, €141 of our July 2029 Notes ($164 as of January 7, 2026), $173 of our September 2030 Notes, €9 of our July 2031 Notes ($10 as of January 7, 2026) and $152 of our February 2032 Notes at prices equal to 100.00% plus accrued and unpaid interest. On January 8, 2026, we redeemed the remaining $262 of our November 2027 Notes and the remaining $258 of our June 2028 Notes at prices equal to 100.00% plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, on January 2, 2026, we repaid the $225 outstanding balance on the Term A Facility and the $390 of outstanding borrowings on our Revolving Facility. See Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information. On June 8, 2025, Dana’s board of directors approved a program to provide up to a $1,000 return of capital to shareholders through common stock share repurchases and/or special dividends through the end of 2027. On February 11, 2026, Dana's board of directors increased and extended the share repurchase program to a total of $2,000 through the end of 2030. Through June 30, 2026, we have spent $819 to repurchase 39,943,730 shares under the approved stock repurchase program. See Note 6 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

Other Initiatives

Aftermarket opportunities — We have a global group dedicated to identifying and developing aftermarket growth opportunities that leverage the capabilities within our existing businesses – targeting increased future aftermarket sales. Powered by recognized brands such as Dana®, Spicer®, Spicer Electrified™, Victor Reinz®, Glaser®, GWB®, Thompson®, Tru-Cool®, SVL®, and Transejes™, Dana delivers a broad range of aftermarket solutions – including genuine, all makes, and value lines – servicing passenger and commercial vehicles across the globe.

Selective acquisitions — Although transformational opportunities will be considered when strategically and economically attractive, our acquisition focus is principally directed at “bolt-on” or adjacent acquisition opportunities that have a strategic fit with our existing core businesses, particularly opportunities that support our enterprise strategy and enhance the value proposition of our product offerings. Any potential acquisition will be evaluated in the same manner we currently consider customer program opportunities and other uses of capital – with a disciplined financial approach designed to ensure profitable growth and increased shareholder value.

Eaton Mobility Business — On June 10, 2026, Dana entered into definitive agreements with Eaton Corporation plc (Eaton) and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Eaton, including Mobility (USA) Corporation (the SpinCo), to acquire Eaton’s Vehicle and eMobility business segments (Mobility business). The structure of the transaction is a Reverse Morris Trust. Following the separation of the Mobility business from Eaton, a subsidiary of SpinCo will merge with and into Dana, and Dana will survive the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SpinCo. Following the merger, each outstanding share of Dana will be converted into the right to receive one SpinCo share. Prior to or at the closing, a subsidiary of Eaton will sell to Dana 100% of the stock in Royal Precision Holdings Corp. in exchange for cash consideration (the Royal Precision Purchase Price). In the event of an election by Dana, certain specified assets (as defined in the separation agreement) will be purchased by Dana from Eaton and certain of its subsidiaries. When the transaction is completed, former Eaton shareholders will own at least 50.1% and former Dana shareholders will own no more than 49.9% of the outstanding shares of SpinCo common stock on a fully diluted basis. Under the terms of the agreement, Eaton will receive a cash distribution of approximately $1,100, subject to adjustment for cash and indebtedness and reduced by the Royal Precision and other specified assets Purchase Price. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both Dana and Eaton. No vote by Eaton shareholders is required. The transaction is intended to be tax-free to Dana and Eaton shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The transaction is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to approval by Dana's shareholders and customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. The agreements contain certain customary termination rights for Dana and Eaton, including, without limitation, a right for either party to terminate if the transaction is not completed on or before June 10, 2027. Termination resulting from Dana shareholders voting against the transaction would result in Dana having to reimburse Eaton for certain expenses in an amount not to exceed $20. Termination under specified circumstances would require Dana to pay Eaton a termination fee of $159. In anticipation of the transaction, Mobility (USA) Corporation and Dana became parties to a $2,600 bridge facility, a $350 secured term loan A commitment and a $1,200 secured revolving credit facility commitment. See Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Dollars in millions)

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes in Item 8.

Management Overview

We are a global provider of high-technology products to virtually every major on-highway vehicle manufacturer in the world. Our technologies include drive systems (axles, driveshafts and transmissions); electrodynamic technologies (motors, inverters, software and control systems, battery-management systems, and fuel cell plates); sealing solutions (gaskets, seals, cam covers, and oil pan modules); thermal-management technologies (transmission and engine oil cooling, battery and electronics cooling, charge air cooling, and thermal-acoustical protective shielding); and digital solutions (active and passive system controls and descriptive and predictive analytics). We serve our global light vehicle and medium/heavy vehicle markets through two business units – Light Vehicle Drive Systems (Light Vehicle) and Commercial Vehicle Drive and Motion Systems (Commercial Vehicle). We have a diverse customer base and geographic footprint which minimizes our exposure to individual market and segment declines. In 2025, 60% of our sales came from North American operations and 40% from operations throughout the rest of the world. Our sales by operating segment were Light Vehicle – 70% and Commercial Vehicle – 30%.

Operational and Strategic Initiatives

Our strategy builds on our strong technology foundation and leverages our resources across the organization while driving a customer-centric focus, expanding our global markets, and delivering innovative solutions for the mobility markets we serve.

Central to our strategy is leveraging our core operations. This foundational element enables us to infuse strong operational disciplines throughout the strategy, making it practical, actionable, and effective. We are achieving improved profitability by actively improving our cost structure and gaining efficiencies across all of our operations and functions.

Our customers remain at the center of our value system. These relationships are strengthened as we are physically located where we need to be in order to provide unparalleled service. We prioritize our customers’ needs as we engineer solutions that differentiate their products while making it easier to do business by streamlining our commercial organization. Our customer-centric focus has uniquely positioned us to win more than our fair share of new business and capitalize on future customer outsourcing initiatives.

Dana has embarked on a strategic plan to focus on core on-highway markets and accelerate value creation by improving its cost structure, increasing its efficiency, and creating a more focused and nimble Dana.

Recent Strategic Actions

Cost reduction initiatives — During the fourth quarter of 2024, we announced further actions to support sustained long-term profitability and enhanced cash flow generation. This includes substantial reduction in selling, general and administrative costs and aligning engineering expenses to match current industry dynamics,

including the ongoing delay in the adoption of electric vehicles. We expect to deliver annualized savings of $325 through 2026. Approximately $260 of annualized savings was realized through 2025 with an additional $65 to be realized in 2026. See Summary of Consolidated Results and Segment Results of Operations in Item 7 and Note 4 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information.

Segment realignment — Through December 2024, we managed our operations globally through four operating segments. Our Light Vehicle and Power Technologies segments primarily supported light vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with products for light trucks, SUVs, CUVs, vans and passenger cars. Our Commercial Vehicles segment supported the OEMs of on-highway commercial vehicles (primarily trucks and buses), while our Off-Highway segment supported OEMs of off-highway vehicles (primarily wheeled vehicles used in construction, mining and agricultural applications). In the first quarter of 2025, our Power Technologies segment was integrated into our Light Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle segments, streamlining the business, enhancing our go-to-market approach and serving our customers more efficiently. The OEM-facing business was integrated into our Light Vehicle segment while the aftermarket business was integrated into our Commercial Vehicle segment. See Note 20 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information.

Divestiture of Off-Highway Business — Dana has embarked on a strategic plan to focus on our core on-highway markets, creating a more focused and nimble Dana through the divestiture of our Off-Highway business. In June 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Off-Highway business to  Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. We analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the pending divestiture of our Off-Highway business and determined that the conditions for discontinued operations presentation have been met. As such, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of that business are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Prior period amounts have been recast to reflect discontinued operations presentation. See Note 1 and Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information. The transaction closed on January 1, 2026, with Dana receiving initial cash proceeds of $2,664. The sale price is subject to adjustment based on net working capital and net indebtedness balances as of the closing date.

Capital Structure Initiatives — Net cash proceeds from the Off-Highway business divestiture will be used to pay down debt, strengthening Dana’s financial position, and provide capital returns to shareholders. On January 7, 2026, we purchased, via a net proceeds tender offer, $138 of our November 2027 Notes, $142 of our June 2028 Notes, €141 of our July 2029 Notes ($164 as of January 7, 2026), $173 of our September 2030 Notes, €9 of our 2031 Notes ($10 as of January 7, 2026) and $152 of our February 2032 Notes at prices equal to 100.00% plus accrued and unpaid interest. On January 8, 2026, we redeemed the remaining $262 of our November 2027 Notes and the remaining $258 of our June 2028 Notes at prices equal to 100.00% plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, on January 2, 2026, we repaid the $225 outstanding balance on the Term A Facility. See Note 13 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information. On June 8, 2025, Dana’s board of directors approved a program to provide up to a $1,000 return of capital to shareholders through common stock share repurchases and/or special dividends through the end of 2027. On February 11, 2026, Dana's board of directors increased and extended the share repurchase program to a total of $2,000 through the end of 2030. Through January 31, 2026, we have spent $750 to repurchase 37,943,413 shares under the approved stock repurchase program. See Note 8 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information.

Other Initiatives

Aftermarket opportunities — We have a global group dedicated to identifying and developing aftermarket growth opportunities that leverage the capabilities within our existing businesses – targeting increased future aftermarket sales. Powered by recognized brands such as Dana®, Spicer®, Spicer Electrified™, Victor Reinz®, Glaser®, GWB®, Thompson®, Tru-Cool®, SVL®, and Transejes™, Dana delivers a broad range of aftermarket solutions – including genuine, all makes, and value lines – servicing passenger and commercial vehicles across the globe.

Selective acquisitions — Although transformational opportunities will be considered when strategically and economically attractive, our acquisition focus is principally directed at “bolt-on” or adjacent acquisition opportunities that have a strategic fit with our existing core businesses, particularly opportunities that support our enterprise strategy and enhance the value proposition of our product offerings. Any potential acquisition will be evaluated in the same manner we currently consider customer program opportunities and other uses of capital – with a disciplined financial approach designed to ensure profitable growth and increased shareholder value.

Trends in Our Markets

We serve our customers in two core global end markets: light vehicle, primarily full frame trucks and SUVs; and commercial vehicle, including medium-and heavy-duty trucks and busses. Each of our end-markets has unique cyclical dynamics and market drivers. These cycles are impacted by periods of investment where end-user vehicle fleets are refreshed or expanded in reaction to demand usage patterns, regulatory changes, or when the age of vehicles in service reach their useful life. Key market drivers include regional economic growth rates; cost and availability of end customer financing; and industrial output. Our multi-market coverage and broad customer base help provide stability across the cycles while mitigating secular variability.

Light vehicle markets — Our driveline business is weighted more heavily to the truck and SUV segments of the light-vehicle market versus the passenger-car segment. Our vehicle content is greater on rear-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive vehicles, as well as hybrid and electric vehicles. During 2025, light-truck markets showed marginal improvement across all regions except North America, which was flat compared to 2024. The outlook for 2026 reflects global light-truck production being relatively stable in North America and Asia Pacific, while Europe and South America reflect marginal improvement, in comparison with the prior year.

Commercial vehicle markets — Our primary business is driveline systems for medium and heavy-duty trucks and busses, including the emerging market for hybrid and electric vehicles. Key regional markets are North America, South America (primarily Brazil) and Asia Pacific. During 2025, production of Class-8 and Classes 5-7 trucks in North America both decreased 23% compared to 2024. The outlook for 2026 is for a moderate increase in production of Classes 5-7 trucks and continued deterioration in Class-8 truck production compared to the prior year. Outside of North America, production of medium- and heavy-duty trucks in South America decreased 7% compared to 2024, reflecting relatively stable economic conditions in the region. The 2026 outlook for South America reflects medium- and heavy-duty production being relatively flat compared to the prior year. Production of medium- and heavy-duty trucks in Asia Pacific, driven by China and India, increased 12% in 2024. The 2026 outlook for Asia Pacific is for a modest increase in production from the prior year.

Foreign currency — With 43% of our 2025 sales coming from outside the U.S., international currency movements can have a significant effect on our sales and results of operations. The euro zone countries and Brazil accounted for 32% and 13% of our 2025 non-U.S. sales, respectively, while India, Thailand and China accounted for 9%, 8% and 7%, respectively. Although sales in South Africa are less than 7% of our non-U.S. sales, the rand has been volatile and significantly impacted sales from time to time. International currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar in 2025, increasing 2025 sales by $28. A stronger euro and Thai baht, were partially offset by a weaker Brazilian real and India rupee.

Argentina has experienced significant inflationary pressures the past several years, contributing to significant devaluation of its currency a
