Dana has posted second quarter net income down US$27m to US$59m, while sales fell US$101m to US$1.61bn.

The latter was largely as a result of foreign currency translation and the divestiture of operations in Venezuela, which lowered sales by US$156m and US$20m respectively.

Organic growth of US$75m or 4%, driven principally by higher light-vehicle end-market demand and new business gains, tempered these impacts.

Net income for the quarter was US$59m, compared with US$86m, recorded in the same period in 2014.

Lower adjusted EBITDA of US$25m and higher restructuring expense of US$8m for cost-reduction actions taken in South America were the primary drivers of the change, with lower amortisation and interest expense providing a partial offset.

“In the second quarter, Dana achieved a 4% increase in organic growth as a result of some markets improving and new business coming on line,” said Dana president and CEO, Roger Wood.
