Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(In millions, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
General
Dana Holding Corporation (Dana) is headquartered in Maumee, Ohio and was incorporated in Delaware in 2007. As a global provider of high technology driveline (axles, driveshafts and transmissions), sealing and thermal-management products our customer base includes virtually every major vehicle manufacturer in the global light vehicle, medium/heavy vehicle and off-highway markets.
The terms "Dana," "we," "our" and "us," when used in this report are references to Dana. These references include the subsidiaries of Dana unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise.
Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation — Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information. These statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.
Discontinued operations — We classify a business component that has been disposed of or classified as held for sale as discontinued operations if the cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from our ongoing operations and we will no longer have any significant continuing involvement in or with the component. The results of operations of our discontinued operations, including any gains or losses on disposition, are aggregated and presented on one line in the income statement. See Note 3 for additional information regarding our discontinued operations.
Translation of financial statements of Venezuelan subsidiaries
Venezuela’s economy is considered highly inflationary under GAAP. As such, we remeasure the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries as if their functional currency was the U.S. dollar.
Prior to 2014, the Venezuelan government through its Commission for the Administration of Foreign Exchange (CADIVI) maintained a fixed official exchange rate. The official exchange rate was fixed at 4.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar until February 2013 when the Venezuelan government devalued the bolivar to 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar. We recorded a $6 charge in the first quarter of 2013 associated with the devaluation of the official exchange rate. After the devaluation, CADIVI allowed certain obligations existing at the date of the devaluation to be settled at the former 4.3 rate. During the last nine months of 2013, we recognized $5 of gains on claims settled at the former 4.3 rate. In March 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the creation of the Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration (SICAD), a supplementary currency auction system regulated by the Central Bank of Venezuela for purchases of U.S. dollars by certain eligible importers. During 2013, our Venezuelan subsidiaries were not eligible to utilize SICAD and therefore we continued to use the official exchange rate to remeasure the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries.
In the first quarter of 2014, the Venezuelan government transferred the administration of the official exchange rate to the National Center of Foreign Commerce (CENCOEX) and indicated that the official exchange rate of 6.3 would be increasingly reserved only for the settlement of U.S. dollar denominated obligations related to purchases of “essential goods and services.” In addition, the Venezuelan government expanded the entities and transactions that would be eligible to use SICAD. Transactions eligible for SICAD currently include foreign investments and payments of royalties. Also during the first quarter of 2014, the Venezuelan government announced the creation of SICAD 2, a market-based exchange mechanism regulated by the Central Bank of Venezuela. SICAD 2 may be used by all companies incorporated or domiciled in Venezuela who want to obtain U.S. dollars for any purpose.
With the recent expansion of SICAD and the formation of SICAD 2 there is uncertainty surrounding transactions that CENCOEX will allow to be transacted at the official exchange rate. In consultation with legal counsel we have determined that the SICAD rate, which we believe would apply to dividend remittances, is the appropriate rate to remeasure the bolivar
denominated net monetary assets of our Venezuelan subsidiaries. Effective March 31, 2014, we ceased using the official exchange rate of 6.3 and began using the SICAD rate, which was 10.7 bolivars per U.S. dollar (as published by the Central Bank of Venezuela) at March 31, 2014, to remeasure the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries. The change to the SICAD rate resulted in a charge of $17 to other income (expense), net during the first quarter of 2014 which is included in the segment EBITDA of our Light Vehicle operating segment.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to clarify financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Generally, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. An exception exists to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose. If the exception applies, the unrecognized tax benefit must be presented in the financial statements as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and must be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. This guidance became effective January 1, 2014 and is consistent with our past practice, so adoption did not impact our financial condition or results of operations.
In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance to provide for the inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate. In addition, the guidance removed the restriction on using different benchmark interest rates for similar hedges. The guidance was effective upon issuance and can be applied for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships.
In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance to clarify existing requirements for the release – the recognition of an amount in the income statement – of the cumulative translation adjustment. The guidance applies to the release of cumulative translation adjustment when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. It also applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment when there is a loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity or a step acquisition involving an equity method investment that is a foreign entity. The accounting for the financial interest within a foreign entity is the same regardless of the form of the transaction. This guidance, which became effective January 1, 2014, did not impact our financial condition or results of operations upon adoption but could affect our accounting for future transactions.
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance related to obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements where the amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. Obligations within the scope of the guidance include certain debt arrangements and settled litigation but not contingencies, guarantees, retirement benefits or income taxes. Adoption of this guidance, which became effective January 1, 2014, did not impact our financial condition or results of operations.
Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Fallbrook — On September 10, 2012, we entered into a strategic alliance with Fallbrook Technologies Inc. (Fallbrook). Among the agreements executed was an exclusive license agreement allowing Dana to engineer, produce and sell transmission components and other advanced powertrain solutions with Fallbrook’s continuously variable planetary (CVP) technology for passenger and certain off-highway vehicles in the end markets Dana serves. The exclusive license agreement, along with an engineering services agreement and key engineers hired from Fallbrook, provide Dana with intellectual property, processes, techniques, technical data, training, designs and drawings related to the development, application, use, manufacture and production of the CVP technology. The transaction with Fallbrook has been accounted for as a business combination.
Dana paid Fallbrook $20 under the exclusive license agreement for the markets licensed to Dana; $12 was paid in 2012 and $8 was paid in 2013. The aggregate fair value of the assets acquired of $20 has been allocated to intangible assets used in research and development activities which are initially classified as indefinite-lived with $12 and $8 assigned to our Off-Highway and Light Vehicle operating segments, respectively. We used the multi-period excess earnings method, an income approach, to value the intangible assets used in research and development activities.
Divestiture of Structural Products business — In March 2010, we sold substantially all of the assets of our Structural Products business to Metalsa S.A. de C.V. (Metalsa). We had received cash proceeds of $134 through the end of 2011, excluding
amounts related to working capital adjustments and tooling. The $10 that remains as a receivable is supported by funds held in escrow. Those funds were to be released to Dana by June 2012; however, the buyer presented claims to the escrow agent seeking indemnification from Dana. The escrow agent is precluded from releasing the funds held in escrow until Dana and the buyer resolve the issues underlying the claims. The parties have begun an arbitration proceeding that is expected to conclude prior to the end of 2014. We do not presently believe that any obligation to indemnify the buyer will be material.
Note 3. Discontinued Operations
The sale of substantially all of the assets of our Structural Products business in 2010 excluded the facility in Longview, Texas and its employees and manufacturing assets related to a significant customer contract. The customer contract was satisfied and operations concluded in August 2012. As a result of the cessation of all operations, the former Structural Products business has been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.
The loss from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2014 includes legal fees and other costs associated with resolving claims and exit costs incurred in connection with retained properties. The income from discontinued operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was the net result of recoveries of prior costs finalized during the quarter and restructuring expenses related to ongoing maintenance of retained properties.
The Longview facility was sold in March 2013 and a previously closed plant in Canada was sold in January 2014. The proceeds in both transactions approximated the carrying values of the facilities.
Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill — Our goodwill is assigned to our Off-Highway operating segment.

The net carrying amounts of intangible assets, other than goodwill, attributable to each of our operating segments at March 31, 2014 were as follows: Light Vehicle — $14, Commercial Vehicle — $116, Off-Highway — $68 and Power Technologies — $17.

Our restructuring activities primarily include rationalizing our operating footprint by consolidating facilities, positioning operations in lower cost locations and reducing overhead costs. Restructuring expense includes costs associated with current and previously announced actions and is comprised of contractual and noncontractual separation costs and exit costs, including costs associated with lease continuation obligations and certain operating costs of facilities that we are in the process of closing.
During the first quarter of 2014, we continued to implement certain headcount reduction programs, primarily in our Commercial Vehicle operation in Argentina. Including costs associated with this action and with other previously announced initiatives, restructuring expense during the first quarter of 2014 was $9, including $7 of severance and related benefits costs and $2 of exit costs.
Excluding $1 of costs associated with discontinued operations and attributable to exit costs, restructuring expense during the first quarter of 2013 was $2, all of which was attributable to exit costs associated with previously announced initiatives.

At March 31, 2014, the accrued employee termination benefits relate to the reduction of approximately 200 employees to be completed over the next three years. The exit costs relate primarily to lease continuation obligations. We estimate cash expenditures to approximate $11 during the remainder of 2014 and $12 thereafter.

Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred stock — Dividends on our 4.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock accrue daily and are payable in cash as approved by the Board of Directors. Our 4.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ceased accruing dividends as a result of redemption in August 2013. Preferred dividends of $2 and $4 were accrued at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
During the first quarter of 2014, holders of 1,702,390 shares of Series B preferred stock elected to convert those preferred shares into common stock and received 14,481,721 shares. The common stock issued included shares to satisfy the accrued dividends owed to the converting preferred stockholders. Based on the market price of Dana common stock on the date of conversion, the fair value of the conversions totaled $298.
Common stock — Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of five cents per share of common stock in the first quarter of 2014. Common stock dividends of $7 were accrued at March 31, 2014. Dividends accrue on restricted stock units (RSUs) granted under our stock compensation program and will be paid in cash or additional units when the underlying units vest.
Share repurchase program — Our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $1,000 of our outstanding shares of common stock over a two-year period from June 28, 2013. Under the program, we spent $64 to repurchase 3,109,500 shares of our common stock during the first quarter of 2014 through open market transactions. Approximately $107 remained available under the program for future share repurchases as of March 31, 2014.

During the first quarter of 2013, Dana purchased the noncontrolling interests in three of its subsidiaries for $7. Dana maintained its controlling financial interest in each of the subsidiaries and accounted for the purchases as equity transactions. The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests was recognized as additional paid-in capital of the parent company. At the time of the purchases the subsidiaries had accumulated other comprehensive income. Accumulated other comprehensive income of the parent company has been adjusted to reflect the ownership interest change with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital of the parent company.

|

|
| 214.4 |
|
The share count for diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effects of dilutive common stock equivalents (CSEs) outstanding during the period. We excluded 0.8 million CSEs from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 8. Stock Compensation
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the grant of RSUs and performance share units (PSUs) shown in the table below during the first quarter of 2014.
|
| | | | | | |
| | | Weighted-average Per Share |
| Granted (In millions) | | Grant Date Fair Value |
RSUs | 0.6 |
| | $ | 21.19 |
|
PSUs | 0.3 |
| | $ | 24.36 |
|
We calculated the fair value of the RSUs at grant date based on the closing market price of our common stock at the date of grant. The number of PSUs that ultimately vest is contingent on achieving specified return on invested capital targets and specified total shareholder return targets relative to peer companies. For the portion of the award based on the return on invested capital performance metric, we estimated the fair value of the PSUs at grant date based on the closing market price of our common stock at the date of grant adjusted for the value of assumed dividends over the period because the award is not dividend protected. For the portion of the award based on shareholder returns, we estimated the fair value of the PSUs at grant date using various assumptions as part of a Monte Carlo simulation. The expected term represents the period from the grant date to the end of the three-year performance period. The risk-free interest rate of 0.64% was based on U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates at the grant date. The dividend yield of 1.02% was calculated by dividing the expected annual dividend by the average stock price over the prior year. The expected volatility of 43.6% was based on historical volatility over the prior three years using daily stock price observations.
Stock options and SARs related to 0.3 million shares were exercised and 0.1 million shares were forfeited in 2014. We received $3 of cash from the exercise of stock options and we paid $1 of cash to settle SARs and RSUs during 2014. We issued 0.2 million shares of common stock based on the vesting of RSUs.
We recognized stock compensation expense of $4 and $5 during the first quarter of 2014 and 2013. At March 31, 2014, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested awards granted and expected to vest was $34. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
Note 9. Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans
We have a number of defined contribution and defined benefit, qualified and nonqualified, pension plans covering eligible employees. Other postretirement benefits (OPEB), including medical and life insurance, are provided for certain employees upon retirement.

Interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually. Other indebtedness includes borrowings from various financial institutions and capital lease obligations.
Senior notes — In July 2013, we completed the sale of $750 in senior unsecured notes. Interest on the September 2021 Notes and September 2023 Notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year beginning on March 15, 2014. Net proceeds of the offering totaled $734. Financing costs of $16 were recorded as deferred costs and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repurchase all of our outstanding Series A preferred stock and to fund common stock repurchases under our previously authorized share repurchase program.
Revolving facility — On June 20, 2013, we received commitments from existing lenders for a $500 amended and restated revolving credit facility (the Amended Revolving Facility) which expires on June 20, 2018. In connection with the Amended Revolving Facility, we paid $3 in deferred financing costs to be amortized to interest expense over the life of the facility. We wrote off $2 of previously deferred financing costs associated with our prior revolving credit facility to other income (expense), net.
The Amended Revolving Facility is guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries except for Dana Credit Corporation and Dana Companies, LLC and their respective subsidiaries (the guarantors) and grants a first priority lien on Dana's and the guarantors' accounts receivable and inventories and, under certain circumstances, to the extent Dana and the guarantors grant a first-priority lien on certain other assets and property, a second-priority lien on such other assets and property.
Advances under the Amended Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate based on, at our option, the base rate or LIBOR (each as described in the revolving credit agreement) plus a margin based on the undrawn amounts available under the agreement as set forth below:
|
| | | | | | |
Remaining Borrowing Availability | | Base Rate | | LIBOR Rate |
Greater than $350 | | 0.50 | % | | 1.50 | % |
Greater than $150 but less than or equal to $350 | | 0.75 | % | | 1.75 | % |
$150 or less | | 1.00 | % | | 2.00 | % |
Commitment fees are applied based on the average daily unused portion of the available amounts under the Amended Revolving Facility. If the average daily unused portion of the revolving facility is less than 50%, the applicable fee will be 0.25% per annum. If the average daily unused portion of the revolving facility is equal to or greater than 50%, the applicable fee will be 0.375% per annum. Up to $300 of the revolving facility may be applied to letters of credit, which reduces availability. We pay a fee for issued and undrawn letters of credit in an amount per annum equal to the applicable LIBOR margin based on quarterly average availability under the revolving facility and a per annum fronting fee of 0.125%, payable quarterly.
There were no borrowings under the revolving facility at March 31, 2014 but we had utilized $56 for letters of credit. Based on our borrowing base collateral of $358, we had potential availability at March 31, 2014 under the revolving facility of $302 after deducting the outstanding letters of credit.
European receivables loan facility — Effective December 31, 2013 we terminated our European accounts receivable backed credit facility (the European Facility). The European facility was scheduled to terminate on March 8, 2016 and permitted borrowings of up to €75. No borrowings were outstanding under the European Facility as of the termination date. We wrote off $2 of previously deferred financing costs associated with the European Facility to other income (expense), net.
Debt covenants — At March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with the covenants of our financing agreements. Under the Amended Revolving Facility and the senior notes, we are required to comply with certain incurrence-based covenants customary for facilities of these types.
Note 12. Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives
In measuring the fair value of our assets and liabilities, we use market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability including assumptions about risk when appropriate. Our valuation techniques include a combination of observable and unobservable inputs.
Fair value measurements on a recurring basis — Assets and liabilities that are carried in our balance sheet at fair value are as follows: |

During January 2014, we sold our interest in a payment-in-kind callable note to a third party for $75. Accordingly, we reclassified the note to current assets and, with observable market value readily available, we reduced the unrealized gain and transferred the note from Level 3 to Level 2 at December 31, 2013.
Fair value of financial instruments – The financial instruments that are not carried in our balance sheet at fair value are as follows: |

|
The fair value of our senior notes is estimated based upon a market approach (Level 2) while the fair value of our other indebtedness is based upon an income approach (Level 2).
Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis — In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we also have long-lived assets that may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include intangible assets and property, plant and equipment which may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment.
Foreign currency derivatives — Our foreign currency derivatives include forward contracts associated with forecasted transactions, primarily involving the purchases and sales of inventory through the next fifteen months, as well as currency swaps associated with recorded intercompany loans receivable and payable.
The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts, involving the exchange of various currencies, was $240 as of March 31, 2014 and $252 as of December 31, 2013. During the second half of 2013, we began to execute foreign currency swaps associated with certain intercompany loans receivable and payable. The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency swaps was $294 as of March 31, 2014 and $297 as of December 31, 2013. The following foreign currency derivatives were outstanding at March 31, 2014:

Cash flow hedges — With respect to contracts designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value during the period in which the contracts remain outstanding are reported in other comprehensive income (OCI) to the extent such contracts remain effective. Changes in fair value of those contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges are reported in income in the period in which the changes occur. Forward contracts associated with product-related transactions are marked to market in cost of sales while other contracts are marked to market through other income (expense), net. Amounts recorded in AOCI are ultimately reclassified to earnings in the same periods in which the underlying transactions affect earnings.
Amounts to be reclassified to earnings — Deferred gains or losses, which are reported in AOCI, are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months. Amounts expected to be reclassified to earnings assume no change in the current hedge relationships or to March 31, 2014 market rates. Amounts deferred were not significant at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013. See Note 6 for additional details.
Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
Asbestos personal injury liabilities — We had approximately 25,000 active pending asbestos personal injury liability claims at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. In addition, approximately 1,000 mostly inactive claims have been settled and are awaiting final documentation and dismissal, with or without payment. We have accrued $85 for indemnity and defense costs for settled, pending and future claims at March 31, 2014, compared to $88 at December 31, 2013. We use a fifteen-year time horizon for our estimate of this liability.
At March 31, 2014, we had recorded $53 as an asset for probable recovery from our insurers for the pending and projected asbestos personal injury liability claims, compared to $55 recorded at December 31, 2013. The recorded asset represents our assessment of the capacity of our current insurance agreements to provide for the payment of anticipated defense and indemnity costs for pending claims and projected future demands. The recognition of these recoveries is based on our assessment of our right to recover under the respective contracts and on the financial strength of the insurers. We have coverage agreements in place with our insurers confirming substantially all of the related coverage and payments are being received on a timely basis. The financial strength of these insurers is reviewed at least annually with the assistance of a third party. The recorded asset does not represent the limits of our insurance coverage, but rather the amount we would expect to recover if we paid the accrued indemnity and defense costs.
As part of our reorganization, assets and liabilities associated with asbestos claims were retained in Dana Corporation which was then merged into Dana Companies, LLC, a consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary of Dana. The assets of Dana Companies, LLC include insurance rights relating to coverage against these liabilities, marketable securities and other assets which we believe are sufficient to satisfy its liabilities. Dana Companies, LLC continues to process asbestos personal injury claims in the normal course of business, is separately managed and has an independent board member. The independent board member is required to approve certain transactions including dividends or other transfers of $1 or more of value to Dana.
Other product liabilities — We had accrued $1 for non-asbestos product liability costs at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, with no recovery expected from third parties at either date. We estimate these liabilities based on assumptions about the value of the claims and about the likelihood of recoveries against us derived from our historical experience and current information.
Environmental liabilities — Accrued environmental liabilities were $8 at March 31, 2014 and $9 at December 31, 2013. We consider the most probable method of remediation, current laws and regulations and existing technology in determining the fair value of our environmental liabilities. Other accounts receivable included a related recoverable from an insurer of $1 at December 31, 2013.
Guarantee of lease obligations — In connection with the divestiture of our Structural Products business in 2010, leases covering three U.S. facilities were assigned to a U.S. affiliate of Metalsa. Under the terms of the sale agreement, we will guarantee the affiliate’s performance under the leases, which run through June 2025, including approximately $6 of annual payments. In the event of a required payment by Dana as guarantor, we are entitled to pursue full recovery from Metalsa of the amounts paid under the guarantee and to take possession of the leased property.
Other legal matters — We are subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business or operations. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, we cannot state what the eventual outcome of these matters will be. However, based on current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, we believe that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
In November 2013, we received an arbitration notice from Sypris Solutions, Inc. (Sypris), our largest supplier, concerning the existing long-term supply agreement that expires on December 31, 2014. Sypris alleges that the companies entered into a new binding long-term supply agreement in July 2013. Dana has filed suit against Sypris requesting declaratory judgment relating to the Sypris claim that it entered into a new supply agreement with Dana in July 2013. We dispute Sypris’ claim and believe it is without merit.
Note 14. Warranty Obligations
We record a liability for estimated warranty obligations at the dates our products are sold. We record the liability based on our estimate of costs to settle future claims. Adjustments are made as new information becomes available.

In 2007, we were notified of an alleged quality issue at a foreign subsidiary of Dana that produced engine coolers for a unit of Sogefi SpA that were used in modules supplied to Volkswagen. Based on the information currently available to us, we do not believe that this matter will result in a material liability to Dana.
In 2012, Ford Motor Company filed a complaint alleging quality issues relating to products supplied by the former Structural Products business at Dana Canada Corporation. The Dana Canada facility was closed in 2008 and Dana Holding Corporation divested substantially all of the Structural Products business in 2010. Based on the information currently available to us, we do not believe this matter will result in a material liability to Dana.
Note 15. Income Taxes
We estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes in interim reporting periods. We also recognize the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur.
We reported income tax expense related to our continuing operations of $34 and $27 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to valuation allowances in several countries, nondeductible expenses, different statutory tax rates outside the U.S. and withholding taxes related to repatriations of international earnings to the U.S.
We record interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense or benefit. Net interest expense for the periods presented herein is not significant.
We provide for U.S. federal income and non-U.S. withholding taxes on the earnings of our non-U.S. operations that are not considered to be permanently reinvested. Accordingly, we continue to analyze and adjust the estimated tax impact of the income and non-U.S. withholding liabilities based on the amount and source of these earnings. As part of the annual effective tax rate, we recognized net expense of $1 and $2 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 related to future income taxes and non-U.S. withholding taxes on repatriations from operations that are not permanently reinvested. We also recognized expense of $4 in the first quarter of 2014 for withholding taxes associated with changes to planned repatriations of certain foreign earnings. In connection with our purchase of the noncontrolling interests in three UK subsidiaries during the first quarter of 2013, we released valuation allowances against deferred tax assets of $2.
We have generally not recognized tax benefits on losses generated in several entities, including those in the U.S., where the recent history of operating losses does not allow us to satisfy the “more likely than not” criterion for the recognition of deferred tax assets. Consequently, there is no income tax expense or benefit recognized on the pre-tax income or losses in these jurisdictions as valuation allowances are adjusted to offset the associated tax expense or benefit.
At March 31, 2014, we have a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in the U.S. When evaluating the continued need for this valuation allowance we consider all components of comprehensive income, and we weight the positive and negative evidence, putting greater reliance on objectively verifiable historical evidence than on projections of future profitability that are dependent on actions that have not occurred as of the assessment date. We also consider the pro forma effects on historical profitability of actions occurring in the year of assessment that have a sustained effect on future profitability, as well as the effect on historical profits of nonrecurring events. These effects included items such as the lost future interest income resulting from the prepayment on and subsequent sale of the payment-in-kind callable note receivable and the additional interest expense resulting from the $750 senior unsecured notes payable issued in July 2013. A sustained period of profitability, after giving pro forma effect to implemented actions and nonrecurring events, along with positive expectations for future profitability are necessary for a determination that a valuation allowance should be released. Our U.S.
operations have experienced improved profitability in recent years, but our analysis of the income of the U.S. operations, as adjusted for pro forma effects of 2013 developments, results in a cumulative loss in recent years as of March 31, 2014. Therefore, we have not achieved a level of sustained historical profitability that would, in our judgment, support a release of the valuation allowance at March 31, 2014. Although we expect our U.S. operations to generate profits in the future, this positive evidence cannot be given as much weight in our analysis as the objectively verifiable lack of sustained historical profitability. To the extent that we achieve our forecasted levels of sustainable profits in 2014 and our projections of profitability beyond 2014 are sufficiently positive, it is reasonably possible that we could release up to $700 of the valuation allowances against our U.S. deferred tax assets in the next twelve months. Until the valuation allowance is released, the income tax effect of any reported U.S. profits will reduce net deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowance.

Foreign exchange gains and losses on cross-currency intercompany loan balances that are not considered permanently invested are included above. Foreign exchange gains and losses on intercompany loans that are permanently invested are reported in OCI. As discussed in Note 1 above, effective March 31, 2014, we ceased using the official exchange rate of 6.3 and began using the SICAD rate, which was 10.7 bolivars per U.S. dollar (as published by the Central Bank of Venezuela) at March 31, 2014, to remeasure the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries. The change to the SICAD rate resulted in a charge of $17 during the first quarter of 2014 which is included in the segment EBITDA of our Light Vehicle operating segment. Foreign exchange loss for 2013 includes a first quarter charge of $6 resulting from the February 2013 devaluation of Venezuela's official exchange rate from 4.3 to 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar. The charge was largely recovered over the balance of 2013 as the Venezuelan government allowed certain transactions to be settled at the former exchange rate.
As discussed in Note 12 above, the sale of a payment-in-kind note receivable during the first quarter of 2014 resulted in the recognition of the remaining unrealized gain that arose following the valuation of the note receivable below its callable value at emergence from bankruptcy.

Management Overview
Dana is headquartered in Maumee, Ohio and was incorporated in Delaware in 2007. As a global provider of high technology driveline, sealing and thermal-management products our customer base includes virtually every major vehicle manufacturer in the global light vehicle, medium/heavy vehicle and off-highway markets. Our driveline products – axles, driveshafts and transmissions – are delivered through our Light Vehicle Driveline (Light Vehicle), Commercial Vehicle Driveline Technologies (Commercial Vehicle) and Off-Highway Driveline Technologies (Off-Highway) operating segments. Our fourth operating segment – Power Technologies – is the center of excellence for the sealing and thermal technologies that span all customers in our on-highway and off-highway markets. We have a diverse customer base and geographic footprint which minimizes our exposure to individual market and segment declines. At March 31, 2014, we employed approximately 23,100 people, operated in 26 countries and had 91 major manufacturing/distribution, technical centers and office facilities around the world.
External sales by operating segment for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

Operational and Strategic Initiatives
During the past several years, we have significantly improved our overall financial prospects – improving the overall profitability of our business, increasing cash flows and addressing structural costs. We have also strengthened our leadership team and streamlined our operating segments to focus on our core competencies of driveline technologies, sealing systems and thermal management. As a result, we believe that we are well-positioned to place increasing focus on profitable growth and shareholder returns.
Shareholder returns – Our strong financial position enabled us to provide returns to our common shareholders in the form of cash dividends and the reduction in the number of common share equivalents outstanding. We declared and paid four quarterly common stock dividends of five cents per share in both 2013 and 2012. During 2013, we redeemed our Series A preferred stock – the equivalent of 21 million common shares on an as converted basis – for $474 and we repurchased 17 million common shares for $337. Repurchases of common shares continued in the first quarter of 2014 with $64 being used for this purpose.
Technology leadership — With a clear focus on market based value drivers, global mega trends and customer sustainability objectives and requirements, we are driving innovation to create differentiated value for our customers, moving from a “product push” to a “market pull” product pipeline. We are committed to making investments and diversifying our product offerings to strengthen our competitive position in our core driveline, sealing and thermal technologies, creating value for our customers through improved fuel efficiency, emission control, electric and hybrid electric solutions, durability and cost of ownership, software integration and systems solutions. Our September 2012 strategic alliance with Fallbrook Technologies Inc. (Fallbrook) provides us the opportunity to leverage leading edge continuously variable planetary (CVP) technology into the development of advanced drivetrain and transmission solutions for customers in our end markets.
Additional engineering and operational investment is being channeled into reinvigorating our product portfolio and capitalizing on technology advancement opportunities. We combined the North American engineering centers of our Light Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle operating segments, allowing us the opportunity to better share technologies among these businesses. New engineering facilities in India and China are now on line, more than doubling our engineering presence in the Asia Pacific region with state-of-the-art development and test capabilities that globally support each of our businesses. In December 2013, we announced the opening of a new technology center in Cedar Park, Texas to support our VariGlide™ CVP technology alliance development initiatives.
Geographic expansion — While growth opportunities are present in each region of the world, we have a primary focus on building our presence and local capability in the Asia Pacific region, especially India and China. In addition to opening new engineering facilities in India and China in 2013, we commenced construction of a new gear manufacturing operation in Thailand that is scheduled to be operational in 2014. We also completed two transactions in 2011 – increasing the ownership interest in our China-based joint venture with Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. (Dongfeng) to 50% and acquiring the axle drive head and final assembly business from our Axles India Limited (AIL) joint venture – which significantly increased our commercial vehicle driveline presence in the region. We have expanded our China off-highway activities and we believe there is considerable opportunity for growth in this market. In 2012, we opened a business development office in Moscow, Russia to focus on expanding our business opportunities in this region and, in 2013, we expanded our distribution and aftermarket capabilities supporting this market. In South America, our strategic agreement with SIFCO S.A. (SIFCO), entered in February 2011, makes us the leading full driveline supplier in the South American commercial vehicle market.
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.
Selective acquisitions — Our current acquisition focus is to identify “bolt-on” acquisition opportunities like the SIFCO and AIL transactions that have a strategic fit with our existing businesses, particularly opportunities that support our growth initiatives and enhance the value proposition of our customer product offerings. Any potential acquisition will be evaluated in the same manner we currently consider customer program opportunities – with a disciplined financial approach designed to ensure profitable growth.
Cost management — Although we have taken significant strides to improve our profitability and margins, particularly through streamlining and rationalizing our manufacturing activities and administrative support processes, we believe additional opportunities remain to further our financial performance. We have ramped up our material cost efforts to ensure that we are rationalizing our supply base and obtaining appropriate competitive pricing. With a continued emphasis on process improvements and productivity throughout the organization, we expect cost reductions to continue contributing to future margin improvement.

North America
Light vehicle markets — Improving economic conditions during the past couple of years have contributed to increased light vehicle sales and production levels in North America. Release of built-up demand to replace older vehicles, greater availability of credit and improving consumer confidence have stimulated new vehicle sales. Light vehicle sales in the first quarter of 2014 were about the same as in last year's first quarter. Although sales were flat, light vehicle production of around 4.2 million units was up about 6% from the first quarter of 2013. In the full frame light truck segment where more of our programs are focused, first quarter production in 2014 was about 7% stronger than in the same period last year. Inventory levels of total light vehicles in the U.S. continue to be near normal levels. Inventory of around 62 days' supply at the end of March 2014 compares with 64 days at the end of 2013 and 60 days at the end of last year's first quarter. Full frame light truck inventory of 77 days' supply at the end of March 2014 compares with 67 days at the end of 2013 and 77 days at the end of March 2013.
Our 2014 production outlook is unchanged from our February 2014 forecast. We expect continued stability and modest increases in the North American light vehicle markets. Our current outlook for 2014 light vehicle engine production is unchanged at 14.7 to 15.1 million units, a 2 to 5% increase over 2013, and we expect full frame light truck production to be relatively flat as compared with 2013.
Medium/heavy vehicle markets — As with the light vehicle market, medium duty Classes 5-7 truck production has increased over the past couple of years, with the rate of production growth slowing in 2013. Although first quarter 2014 medium duty production of around 50,000 units was about 3% lower than quarterly production levels in the second half of 2013, it's about 11% higher than the first quarter of 2013. In the heavy-duty Class 8 truck market, after increasing significantly in 2011 and 2012, production declined in 2013 as truck buyers in this segment were more cautious regarding the pace of economic recovery and opted to hold off from replacing existing vehicles. During the last quarter of 2013 and continuing into 2014, the order book for Class 8 vehicles has been strengthening. First quarter 2014 production of about 65,000 units is up from the last two quarters of 2013, and 19% higher than Class 8 production of 55,000 units in the first three months of 2013 when production levels were relatively weak.
With a stable to modestly improving North America economy and improving orders for Class 8 vehicles thus far in 2014, we expect full year 2014 Class 8 production to be in a range of 265,000 to 275,000 units, an increase of 5,000 units from our February 2014 forecast, and coming in about 8 to 12% higher than 2013. Our full year 2014 outlook for medium-duty Classes 5-7 production is unchanged at 200,000 to 210,000 units, which is flat to up 4% compared with production levels in 2013.
Markets Outside of North America
Light vehicle markets — European production levels in recent years have been adversely impacted by overall economic weakness brought on in part by sovereign debt concerns, high unemployment levels, governmental austerity actions in many countries and other economic factors. The region began seeing some economic stability take hold in 2013, contributing to light vehicle engine and truck production being up about 2%. Signs of continued economic improvement were reflected in first quarter 2014 light vehicle engine and light truck production levels being 4% and 7% stronger than in the first quarter of 2013. We expect overall continued economic stability and improvement as we progress through the remainder of 2014, with full year light vehicle engine build currently trending nearer the higher end of our February 2014 forecast and light truck production now being around 7,000 to 7,200 vehicles, up slightly from our earlier forecast. A number of South American markets, in particular Venezuela and Argentina, are experiencing difficult economic environments. After improving slightly in 2013, first quarter light vehicle engine production was down 4% compared to the first three months of 2013 and light truck production was up about 2% when comparing the same periods. We expect South America to pose continuing challenges in 2014, and we've lowered our February 2014 light truck production forecast which now reflects production being flat to down 8%. Our light vehicle engine forecast remains unchanged at flat to up 6%. Light vehicle engine and light truck production levels in the Asia Pacific region were up about 5% and 10% in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, principally on the strength of stronger production in China. We've not revised our February 2014 outlook for the full year, although we currently expect light vehicle engine and light truck production levels to be nearer the high end of our forecast ranges.
Medium/heavy vehicle markets — Some of the same factors referenced above that affected light vehicle markets outside of North America similarly affected the medium/heavy markets. An improving economic environment in Europe contributed to medium/heavy production in the first three months of 2014 being up about 9% from the same period of 2013. With the last half of 2013 and first half of 2014 production levels picking up some of the pent up demand, we expect a decline in second half 2014 production. As such, our outlook for full year 2014 Europe production is unchanged from February 2014, reflecting a modest decline compared with full year 2013 production. South American medium/heavy truck production levels in this year's first quarter were up about 2% from a relatively weak level of production in the first quarter of 2013. Although we expect production levels to be higher during the last nine months of the year, our full year 2014 medium/heavy truck production outlook in South America, which is unchanged from February 2014, reflects production in the region being down 5 to 10% from 2013. Asia Pacific medium/heavy truck production increased about 2% in 2013 after declining in each of the two preceding years. Production levels continued to improve in 2014 with first quarter production up 2% over the same period of 2013. For the full year of 2014, we expect medium/heavy truck production to be in line with our February 2014 forecast, which has production for the year flat to up 5% over 2013.
Off-Highway Markets
Our Off-highway business has a large presence outside of North America, with about 75% of its sales coming from Europe and 12% from South America and Asia Pacific combined. We serve several segments of the diverse off-highway market, including construction, agriculture, mining and material handling. Our largest markets are the construction/mining and agricultural equipment segments, both of which experienced increased demand during 2012 and 2011. While the agriculture market remained fairly stable in 2013, the construction/mining segment experienced considerable weakness with global production down about 8%. First quarter 2014 demand levels in the construction/mining and agriculture segments have generally been consistent with our expectations for the full year of 2014 – flat to up modestly as compared with 2013. As such, our full year 2014 outlook is largely unchanged from February 2014.
Venezuela Operations
The current operating, political and economic environment in Venezuela is very challenging. Foreign exchange controls are restricting the ability of companies operating in the country to import required parts and material and satisfy their U.S. dollar obligations. As such, our major original equipment customers have suspended production in the country, causing us to significantly curtail our production activities. Our sales in Venezuela during the first quarter of 2014 approximated $30, mostly relating to aftermarket business. First quarter sales in 2013 also approximated $30 as the devaluation of the bolivar during that period resulted in some market disruptions. For the last nine months of 2013, our sales in Venezuela ranged from $45 to $50 each quarter.
As more fully described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I, developments within the parallel Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration (SICAD) and SICAD 2 foreign exchange markets and uncertainty surrounding future use of the official exchange rate to transact business resulted in our decision to begin using the SICAD rate rather than the official exchange rate at March 31, 2014 to translate the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries into U.S. dollars. Prior to March 31, 2014, we had used the official exchange rate of 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar. Use of the 10.7 bolivars per U.S. dollar SICAD rate for translation at March 31, 2014 resulted in a charge of $17 which has been recognized in first quarter 2014 other income (expense), net.
At March 31, 2014, the net investment in our Venezuelan operations was $54. Included in this investment is $31 of bolivar-denominated cash, $32 of property plant and equipment and $49 of U.S. dollar-denominated intercompany and third party obligations. As of March 31, 2014, we have submitted requests to the National Center of Foreign Commerce (CENCOEX) seeking approval to satisfy $44 of U.S. dollar-denominated obligations with bolivars at the current official exchange rate of 6.3. In the event we obtain approval to exchange bolivars at the official rate, we would recognize foreign exchange gains as such bolivars are currently valued at the March 31, 2014 SICAD rate of 10.7.
The future performance of our Venezuela operations and recoverability of our investment remains highly uncertain. Our ability to operate profitably in Venezuela will depend on several factors, including ongoing exchange control regulations, further devaluations of the bolivar, our ability to import materials into the country, resumption of operations by our major customers and our ability to implement pricing which will enable recovery of increased costs.
Commodity Costs
The cost of our products may be significantly impacted by changes in raw material commodity prices, the most important to us being those of various grades of steel, aluminum, copper and brass. The effects of changes in commodity prices are reflected directly in our purchases of commodities and indirectly through our purchases of products such as castings, forgings, bearings and component parts that include commodities. Most of our major customer agreements have provisions which allow us to pass the effects of significant commodity price changes through to those customers. Where such formal agreements are not present, we have historically been successful implementing price adjustments that largely compensate for the inflationary impact of material costs. Material cost changes will customarily have some impact on our financial results as contractual recoveries and inflation-based pricing adjustments typically lag the cost increases.
In the first quarter of 2014, higher commodity prices increased our costs by approximately $10 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013, while last year's first quarter results reflected increased costs of $5 versus 2012. Material recovery and other pricing actions reduced sales by about $1 in 2014 as compared to increasing sales by $3 in the first quarter of 2013.
