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

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