BorgWarner Reports Full Year 2022 Results Ahead of Guidance,
Expects 2023 Electric Vehicle Sales of $1.5 Billion to $1.8 Billion
Auburn Hills, Michigan, February 9, 2023 – BorgWarner Inc. (NYSE: BWA) today reported 2022 fourth quarter and full-year results.
Charging Forward Update:
•Based on new business awards and actions announced to date, BorgWarner believes it is already on track to achieve approximately $4.3 billion of electric vehicle sales by 2025. The Company also expects its 2023 electric vehicle sales to grow to $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion, up significantly from $870 million in 2022.
•In December, BorgWarner announced its intention to execute a tax-free spin-off of its Fuel Systems and Aftermarket segments into a separate, publicly traded company (NewCo). The Company expects that the intended separation would better allow BorgWarner to focus resources on attractive organic and inorganic opportunities that position it to deliver and even exceed the goals underlying “Charging Forward.”
•BorgWarner announced its commitment to reduce its absolute Scope 3 emissions by at least 25% by 2031 from a 2021 baseline. This Scope 3 target, along with BorgWarner’s previously announced target to achieve 85% absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reduction by 2030 (from a 2021 baseline), were formally submitted for validation to the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) in December 2022.
•BorgWarner is building upon its previously awarded 400V inverter business by now supplying 800V silicon carbide based (SiC) inverters to a major global OEM. Start of production is expected in 2025.
•BorgWarner will supply a major German vehicle manufacturer for the Europe and the U.S. markets with innovative battery cooling plates destined for the carmaker’s next generation of electric vehicles.
Fourth Quarter Highlights:
•U.S. GAAP net sales of $4,108 million, an increase of 12.4% compared with fourth quarter 2021.
◦Excluding the impact of foreign currencies and the net impact of net MD&A, organic sales were up 21.3% compared with fourth quarter 2021.
•U.S. GAAP net earnings of $1.09 per diluted share.
◦Excluding the $0.17 of net losses per diluted share related to non-comparable items (detailed in the table below), adjusted net earnings were $1.26 per diluted share.
•U.S. GAAP operating income of $361 million, or 8.8% of net sales.
◦Excluding $67 million of net pretax expense related to non-comparable items, adjusted operating income was $428 million, or 10.4% of net sales.
•Net cash provided by operating activities of $890 million.
◦Free cash flow of $678 million.
Full Year Highlights:
•U.S. GAAP net sales of $15,801 million, an increase of 6.5% when compared with 2021.
◦Excluding the impact of foreign currencies and the net impact of MD&A, organic sales were up 14.0% compared with 2021.
•U.S. GAAP net earnings of $3.99 per diluted share.
◦Excluding $0.61 of net losses per diluted share related to non-comparable items (detailed in the table below), adjusted net earnings were $4.60 per diluted share.
•U.S. GAAP operating income of $1,374 million, or 8.7% of net sales.
◦Excluding $229 million of net pretax expense related to non-comparable items, adjusted operating income was $1,603 million, or 10.1% of net sales.
•Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,569 million.
◦Free cash flow of $846 million.
Financial Results:
The Company believes the following table is useful in highlighting non-comparable items that impacted its U.S. GAAP net earnings per diluted share. The non-comparable items presented below are calculated after tax using the corresponding effective tax rate discrete to each item and the weighted average number of diluted shares for the periods then ended. The Company defines adjusted earnings per diluted share as earnings per diluted share adjusted to eliminate the impact of restructuring expense, merger, acquisition and divestiture expense, other net expenses, discontinued operations, other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations, and related tax effects.

Net sales were $4,108 million for the fourth quarter 2022, an increase of 12.4% from $3,655 million for the fourth quarter 2021, primarily due to increased demand for the Company’s products, slightly higher industry production compared to the prior year and the impact of commercial negotiations with the Company’s customers. Net earnings for the fourth quarter 2022 were $255 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $129 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2021. Adjusted net earnings for the fourth quarter 2022 were $296 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net earnings of $255 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2021. Adjusted net earnings for the fourth quarter 2022 excluded net non-comparable items of $(0.17) per diluted share. Adjusted net earnings for the fourth quarter 2021 excluded net non-comparable items of $(0.52) per diluted share. These items are listed in the table above, which is provided by the Company for comparison with other results and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. The increase in adjusted net earnings per diluted share was primarily due to the impact of higher sales, which was partially offset by higher commodity costs and a planned increase in e-Products R&D investment.
Full Year 2023 Guidance: The Company has provided 2023 full year guidance. Net sales are expected to be in the range of $16.7 billion to $17.5 billion, compared with 2022 sales of $15.8 billion. This implies a year-over-year organic increase in sales of 7% to 12%. The Company expects its weighted light and commercial vehicle markets to increase in the range of approximately 0% to 3% in 2023. Foreign currencies are expected to result in a year-over-year decrease in sales of approximately $285 million, primarily due to the weakening of the Euro, Chinese Renminbi and Korean Won against the U.S. dollar.
Operating margin is expected to be in the range of 8.6% to 9.0%. Excluding the impact of non-comparable items and the add back of intangible asset amortization expense, adjusted operating margin is expected to be in the range of 10.0% to 10.4%. Net earnings are expected to be within a range of $3.81 to $4.13 per diluted share. Excluding the impact of non-comparable items, adjusted net earnings are expected to be within a range of $4.50 to $5.00 per diluted share. Full-year operating cash flow is expected to be in the range of $1,400 million to $1,550 million, while free cash flow is expected to be in the range of $550 million to $650 million, which includes estimated one-time cash costs of $150 million associated with the planned separation of Fuel Systems and Aftermarket businesses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains information about BorgWarner’s financial results that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their closest GAAP financial measures below and in the Financial Results table above. The provision of these comparable GAAP financial measures for 2023 is not intended to indicate that BorgWarner is explicitly or implicitly providing projections on those GAAP financial measures, and actual results for such measures are likely to vary from those presented. The reconciliations include all information reasonably available to the Company at the date of this press release and the adjustments that management can reasonably predict.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management, investors, and banking institutions in their analysis of the Company's business and operating performance. Management also uses this information for operational planning and decision-making purposes.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not and should not be considered a substitute for any GAAP measure. Additionally, because not all companies use identical calculations, the non-GAAP financial measures as presented by BorgWarner may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

In 2021 and prior, the Company defined adjusted operating income as operating income adjusted to exclude the impact of restructuring expense, merger, acquisition and divestiture expense, other net expenses, discontinued operations, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, the Company updated its definition of adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin to add back intangible asset amortization expense. For comparability, the 2021 reconciliation below adds back intangible asset amortization expense. The updated definition of adjusted operating income is operating income adjusted to exclude the impact of restructuring expense, merger, acquisition and divestiture expense, intangible asset amortization expense, other net expenses, discontinued operations, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations. Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted operating income divided by net sales.
Adjusted Net Earnings
The Company defines adjusted net earnings as net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc. adjusted to eliminate the impact of restructuring expense, merger, acquisition and divestiture expense, other net expenses, discontinued operations, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations, and related tax effects. The impact of intangible asset amortization expense continues to be included in adjusted net earnings.
Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share
The Company defines adjusted earnings per diluted share as earnings per diluted share adjusted to eliminate the impact of restructuring expense, merger, acquisition and divestiture expense, other net expenses, discontinued operations, and other gains and losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations, and related tax effects. The impact of intangible asset amortization expense continues to be included in adjusted earnings per share.
Free Cash Flow
The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures, and it is useful to both management and investors in evaluating the Company’s ability to service and repay its debt.
Organic Net Sales Change
The Company defines organic net sales changes as net sales change year over year excluding the estimated impact of foreign exchange (FX), the 2022 acquisitions of Santroll’s light vehicle eMotor business and Rhombus Energy Solutions, as well as the 2021 divestiture of the Water Valley, Mississippi business.
