EXCLUDING NON-COMPARABLE ITEMS

2012 FULL YEAR NET SALES, OPERATING MARGIN AND EARNINGS PER SHARE REACH 

RECORD LEVELS

Auburn Hills, Michigan, February 14, 2013– BorgWarner Inc. (NYSE: BWA) today reported fourth quarter 

2012 U.S. GAAP earnings of $1.03 per diluted share. Excluding non-comparable items, net earnings were 

$1.16 per diluted share. Net sales were $1,719 million in the quarter.

Fourth Quarter Highlights:

•  Net sales of $1,719 million.

Excluding the impact of foreign currencies and 2011 and 2012 dispositions, 

net sales were flat with fourth quarter 2011.

•  U.S. GAAP earnings of $1.03 per diluted share.

Excluding the $(0.10) per diluted share impact of retirement related 

obligations, and $(0.03) per diluted share related to net tax adjustments, net 

earnings were $1.16 per diluted share, down 3% from fourth quarter 2011.

•  Operating income of $171 million, or 9.9% of net sales.

Excluding the $17 million pretax impact of retirement related obligations, 

operating income was $188 million, or 10.9% of net sales.

• Repurchased 1.5 million shares of common stock in the quarter.

Full Year Highlights:

• Record net sales of $7,183 million.

Excluding the impact of foreign currencies and 2011 and 2012 dispositions, 

net sales were up 6% from 2011.

• U.S. GAAP earnings of $4.17 per diluted share.

Excluding non-comparable items, 2012 earnings were $4.97 per diluted share, 

a new record for the company, up 12% from 2011 comparable results. 

Excluding non-comparable items and the impact of foreign currencies, 2012 

earnings were up 17% from 2011 comparable results.

• Operating income of $753 million, or 10.5% of net sales.

Excluding non-comparable items, operating income was 11.7% of net sales, 

a new full year record.

• Repurchased approximately 4.2 million shares of common stock in 2012.

Comment and Outlook: “Market conditions were challenging in the fourth quarter,” said James 

Verrier, President and CEO of BorgWarner.  “Global light vehicle production in the fourth quarter was up 

approximately 1% from a year ago, but light vehicle production in Europe, a market which comprises nearly 

half of our sales, was down approximately 11%. Our sales were flat during the same period, excluding the 

impact of foreign currencies and 2011 and 2012 dispositions. Despite this challenging sales environment, 

the continued focus on execution at our operations resulted in a solid operating income margin of 10.9% in 

the fourth quarter, excluding non-comparable items.”2

“In 2012, our sales, earnings and operating income margin set all-time records on a comparable basis. In 

2013, we expect reported sales growth of 2% to 6% compared with 2012, or sales growth of 3% to 7% 

excluding the impact of 2012 dispositions, earnings of $5.15 to $5.45 per diluted share and an operating 

income margin of 11.5% or better. We anticipate that this will continue our record financial pace despite 

difficult market conditions in Europe,” said Verrier.

Financial Results: Net sales were $1,719 million in fourth quarter 2012, down 3% from $1,774 

million in fourth quarter 2011. Net earnings in the quarter were $121 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, 

compared with $122 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, in fourth quarter 2011. Fourth quarter 2012 net 

earnings included net non-comparable items of $(0.13) per diluted share. Fourth quarter 2011 net earnings 

included non-comparable items of $(0.19) per diluted share. These items are listed in a table below as 

reconciliations of non-U.S. GAAP measures, which are provided by the company for comparison with other 

results, and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. The impact of foreign currencies, primarily 

the Euro, decreased net sales by approximately $22 million, and decreased net earnings by approximately 

$0.02 per diluted share, in fourth quarter 2012 compared with fourth quarter 2011.

Full year 2012 net sales were $7,183 million, up 1% compared with $7,115 million in 2011. Full year 

2012 net earnings were $501 million, or $4.17 per diluted share, compared with $550 million, or $4.45 per 

diluted share, in 2011. Full year 2012 net earnings included net non-comparable items of $(0.80) per diluted 

share. Full year 2011 net earnings included non-comparable items which, when netted, had no impact on 

reported earnings per diluted share. These items are listed in a table below as reconciliations of non-U.S. 

GAAPmeasures, which are provided by the company for comparison with other results, and the most directly 

comparable U.S. GAAPmeasures. The impact of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, decreased net sales 

by approximately $325 million, and decreased net earnings by approximately $0.22 per diluted share, in 

2012 compared with 2011.

The following table reconciles the company's non-U.S. GAAPmeasures included in the press release, 

which are provided for comparison with other results, and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAPmeasures:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $879 million in 2012 compared with $708 million in 

2011. Investments in capital expenditures, including tooling outlays, totaled $407 million in 2012, compared 

with $394 million in 2011. Balance sheet debt decreased by $262 million and cash increased by $356 million

compared with the end of 2011. The $618 million decrease in balance sheet debt (net of cash) was primarily 

due to net cash provided by operating activities and the company's settlement of its convertible senior notes, 

which was partially offset by share repurchases. The ratio of balance sheet debt (net of cash) to capital was 

10.0% at the end of 2012 compared with 28.3% at the end of 2011. 

Engine Group  Results: Engine  segment  net  sales  were  $1,167 million in  fourth  quarter  2012 

compared with $1,245 million in fourth quarter 2011. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currencies 

and 2011 and 2012 dispositions, net sales were down 2% from the prior year's quarter. Higher sales of light 

vehicle turbochargers in China and variable cam timing devices in Japan were offset by volume declines 

across the Group's product portfolio in Europe related to the economic slowdown in the region. Adjusted 

earnings before interest, income taxes and non-controlling interest ("Adjusted EBIT") were $182 million in 

fourth quarter 2012, down 10% from $203 million in fourth quarter 2011. 

Drivetrain Group Results: Drivetrain segment net sales were $559 million in fourth quarter 2012 

compared with $534 million in fourth quarter 2011. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currencies, net 

sales were up 5% from the prior year’s quarter.  Strong all-wheel drive system sales in North America and 

India combined with higher sales of traditional transmission components in Korea offset declines across the 

Group's product portfolio in Europe related to the economic slowdown in the region. Adjusted EBIT was $49 

million in fourth quarter 2012, up 5% from $47 million in fourth quarter 2011.
