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.
In the third quarter of 2014, we identified an error that had resulted in a $10 overstatement of the values assigned to our defined benefit pension obligation and goodwill when we applied fresh start accounting in 2008. These overstatements affected pension expense, other comprehensive income and impairment of goodwill in subsequent periods. Based on our assessments of qualitative and quantitative factors, the error and the related impacts were not considered material to the financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 or the prior periods to which they relate. The error was corrected in September 2014 by decreasing pension and postretirement obligations by $17, decreasing accumulated other comprehensive loss by $3 to eliminate the related impacts on unrecognized pension expense and currency translation adjustments, decreasing goodwill by $3, decreasing cost of sales by $5 to reverse the cumulative impact on pension expense and crediting other income, net for $6 to effectively reverse a portion of the goodwill impairment recognized in 2008.
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.
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.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance to provide clarity on whether to treat a performance target that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition that affects vesting or as a nonvesting condition that affects the grant-date fair value of a share-based payment award. Generally, an award with a performance target also requires an employee to render service until the performance target is achieved. In some cases, however, the terms of an award may provide that the performance target could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period. The amendment requires that a performance target that affects vesting and extends beyond the end of the service period be treated as a performance condition and not as a factor in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in
which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The guidance becomes effective January 1, 2016.
In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that amends accounting and disclosures for repurchase agreements and similar transactions. Repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings are to be accounted for as secured borrowings, which is consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. The amendment also requires two new disclosures. The first disclosure requires an entity to disclose information on transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements. The second disclosure provides increased transparency about the types of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance, which becomes effective January 1, 2015, could affect our accounting for future transactions.
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration a company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance will also require new disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This guidance will be effective January 1, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The guidance allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that revises the definition of a discontinued operation. The revised definition limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on operations and financial results. The guidance also requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The guidance will apply to covered transactions that occur after 2014 but may be applied to the initial reporting of disposals completed or approved in 2014.
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. An additional $10 remained as a receivable and was 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 was precluded from releasing the funds held in escrow until Dana and the buyer resolved the issues underlying the claims. The parties reached a final agreement on the remaining issues in May 2014, resulting in the receipt of $9 from the escrow agent and a charge of $1 to other income, net within discontinued operations.
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 for the third quarter of 2014 results primarily from legal fees incurred in connection with a lawsuit brought by a major customer in 2012. The loss reported for the first nine months of 2014 also included the charge that resulted from final settlement of the claims presented by Metalsa in connection with its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of our Structural Products business and the related legal fees, exit costs incurred in connection with retained properties and legal fees related to the customer lawsuit. Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was the result of restructuring expenses related to ongoing maintenance of retained properties and legal fees, net of recoveries of prior costs.
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. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, we adjusted goodwill in September 2014 in connection with correcting an overstatement of our pension and postretirement obligations. The $3 adjustment is net of the cumulative effect of currency fluctuations and impairment of the amount that would have been assigned at fresh start to our former Driveshaft segment in 2008. The remaining change in the carrying amount of goodwill in 2014 is due to currency fluctuations.

The net carrying amounts of intangible assets, other than goodwill, attributable to each of our operating segments at September 30, 2014 were as follows: Light Vehicle — $13, Commercial Vehicle — $103, Off-Highway — $55 and Power Technologies — $14.

Note 5. Restructuring of Operations
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 third quarter of 2014, we continued to execute our previously announced initiatives. Restructuring expense during the third quarter of 2014 was $2, including $1 of severance and related benefit costs and $1 of exit costs.
During the first half of 2014, we continued to implement certain headcount reduction programs, including those associated with the closure of our Commercial Vehicle foundry operation in Argentina. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, restructuring expense was $14, including $9 of severance and related benefit costs and $5 of exit costs.
During the third quarter of 2013, we approved additional headcount reduction programs, primarily attributable to our Commercial Vehicle operations in Argentina. Including costs associated with this action and with other previously announced initiatives, restructuring expense during the third quarter of 2013 was $8, including $3 of severance and related benefit costs and $5 of exit costs.
During the first half of 2013, we implemented certain headcount reduction initiatives, primarily in our Light Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle businesses in Argentina and Australia. New customer programs and other developments in our North American Light Vehicle business and a decision by our European Off-Highway business to in-source the manufacturing of certain parts resulted in the reversal of previously accrued severance obligations. Excluding $1 of exit costs associated with discontinued operations, restructuring expense, net of the aforementioned reversals, was $14 during the first nine months of 2013 and included $6 of severance and related benefit costs and $8 of exit costs.

At September 30, 2014, the accrued employee termination benefits relate to the reduction of approximately 150 employees to be completed over the next two years. The exit costs relate primarily to lease continuation obligations. We estimate cash expenditures to approximate $3 during the remainder of 2014 and $16 thereafter.
Cost to complete — The following table provides project-to-date and estimated future expenses for completion of our pending restructuring initiatives.

Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred stock — Our 4.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ceased accruing dividends as a result of the conversion of all of the remaining outstanding shares on September 30, 2014. 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Prior to September 30, 2014, holders of 2,296,802 Series B preferred shares elected to convert those preferred shares into common stock and received 19,517,593 common shares. The common stock issued included shares to satisfy the accrued dividends owed to the converting Series B preferred stockholders. Based on the market price of Dana common stock on the date of conversion, the fair value of the conversions totaled $409. As of July 2, 2014, the per share closing price of our common stock exceeded $22.24 for 20 consecutive trading days. As a result, we exercised our right to cause the conversion of all of the remaining outstanding Series B preferred shares upon fulfillment of the required 90-day notice period ending September 30, 2014. We caused the conversion of 1,506,972 Series B shares with holders receiving 12,631,780 common shares valued at $250 based on the market price of Dana common stock on the date of conversion. Dividends accrued on the Series B preferred shares as of September 30, 2014 will be paid in cash in October 2014.
Common stock — Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of five cents per share of common stock in the first, second and third quarters of 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.
Treasury stock — During the third quarter of 2014 we reissued 14,879,935 shares of treasury stock in conjunction with the conversion of 1,772,693 Series B preferred shares into common stock. The reissuance of the treasury shares resulted in a $127 charge to additional paid-in capital as the carrying value of the treasury shares reissued exceeded the carrying value of the Series B preferred shares converted. We use the weighted-average pool price of our treasury shares at the date of reissuance to determine the carrying value of treasury shares reissued.
Share repurchase program — Our Board of Directors approved an expansion of our existing common stock repurchase program from $1,000 to $1,400 on July 30, 2014. The share repurchase program expires on December 31, 2015. Under the program, we spent $181 to repurchase 8,295,202 shares of our common stock during the first nine months of 2014 through open market transactions. Approximately $390 remained available under the program for future share repurchases as of September 30, 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.

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 0.1 million and 0.4 million CSEs from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2013 as the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, we excluded CSEs that satisfied the definition of potentially dilutive shares of 1.7 million and 1.6 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 since there was no net income available to common stockholders for these periods.
We excluded 7.3 million and 16.3 million shares related to the assumed conversion of our Series A preferred stock for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and 38.8 million and 42.1 million shares related to the assumed conversion of our Series B preferred stock for the same periods, along with the adjustment for the related dividend requirements, as the conversions would have been anti-dilutive for these periods.
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 nine months of 2014.
|
| | | | | | |
| | | Weighted-average Per Share |
| Granted (In millions) | | Grant Date Fair Value |
RSUs | 0.7 |
| | $ | 21.21 |
|
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 0.6 million shares were exercised and 0.1 million shares were forfeited in 2014. We received $6 of cash from the exercise of stock options and we paid $2 of cash to settle SARs and RSUs during 2014. We issued 0.3 million shares of common stock based on the vesting of RSUs.
We recognized stock compensation expense of $2 and $5 during the third quarter of 2014 and 2013 and $11 and $14 during the first nine months of 2014 and 2013. At September 30, 2014, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested awards granted and expected to vest was $24. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 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.

The U.S. amounts disclosed above for 2014 include the adjustment described in Note 1 to the financial statements.
We initiated a program in September 2014 under which certain former employees with vested pension benefits have been offered lump-sum payments to settle those pension obligations. The same participants will also have an option under the program to begin receiving monthly benefits soon after the program ends – earlier than previously allowed under the related plans. This voluntary program, which ends November 3, 2014, provides for lump-sum payments to be made in December 2014 using plan assets. The lump-sum payments would effect settlement of the related obligations, resulting in the recognition of a settlement charge in the fourth quarter. The amount of this charge will be a function of the assumptions underlying the year-end valuation and the number of participants electing to receive lump-sum payments. See Critical Accounting Estimates under Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2 of Part I for comments regarding the potential impact of this program.

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, 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 September 30, 2014 but we had utilized $43 for letters of credit. Based on our borrowing base collateral of $369, we had potential availability at September 30, 2014 under the revolving facility of $326 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, net.
Debt covenants — At September 30, 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 eighteen months, as well as currency swaps associated with certain recorded intercompany loans receivable and payable.
The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts, involving the exchange of various currencies, was $262 as of September 30, 2014 and $252 as of December 31, 2013. The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency swaps was $81 as of September 30, 2014 and $297 as of December 31, 2013.

During May 2014, concurrent with the cancellation of two of our Euro-denominated and Canadian dollar-denominated intercompany loans, we terminated $225 of associated currency swaps. No portion of the fair value of these currency swaps had been deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).
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, net.
Amounts to be reclassified to earnings — Deferred gains or losses, which are reported in AOCI, are reclassified to earnings in the same periods in which the underlying transactions affect earnings. Amounts expected to be reclassified to earnings assume no change in the current hedge relationships or to September 30, 2014 market rates. Deferred losses of $4 at September 30, 2014 are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months. Amounts deferred were not significant at December 31, 2013. See Note 6 for additional details.
Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
Asbestos personal injury liabilities — As part of our reorganization in 2008, assets and liabilities associated with personal injury asbestos claims were retained in Dana Corporation which was then merged into Dana Companies, LLC (DCLLC), a consolidated wholly-owned limited liability company. The assets of DCLLC include insurance rights relating to coverage against these liabilities, marketable securities and other assets which are considered sufficient to satisfy its liabilities. DCLLC had approximately 25,000 active pending asbestos personal injury liability claims at both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. DCLLC had accrued $80 for indemnity and defense costs for settled, pending and future claims at September 30, 2014, compared to $88 at December 31, 2013. A fifteen-year time horizon was used to estimate the value of this liability.
At September 30, 2014, DCLLC had recorded $50 as an asset for probable recovery from 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. DCLLC has coverage agreements in place with 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 the insurance coverage, but rather the amount DCLLC would expect to recover if the accrued indemnity and defense costs were paid in full.
DCLLC 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. Dana Holding Corporation has no obligation to increase its investment in or otherwise support DCLLC.
Other product liabilities — We had accrued $1 for non-asbestos product liability costs at September 30, 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 September 30, 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 insurers or other parties of $1 at both dates.
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 Dana and Sypris 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. Certain prior period amounts in the following table previously included in amounts accrued for current period sales have been reclassified to adjustments of prior period estimates.

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 $29 and $34 for the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and $96 and $96 for the respective nine-month periods. 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 tax liabilities based on the amount and source of these earnings. As part of the annual effective tax rate, we recognized net expense of $2 and $1 for the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and $5 and $5 for the respective nine-month periods 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 and $1 in the first and second quarters of 2014 for withholding taxes associated with changes to planned repatriations of certain foreign earnings and we accrued additional tax reserves of $2 in the second quarter of 2014 for settlement of outstanding tax matters in Italy. In connection with our purchase of the noncontrolling interests in three U.K. 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 $625 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.

Interest income decreased from 2013 as a result of selling our payment-in-kind note receivable during the first quarter of 2014. The receipt of a payment on our payment-in-kind note receivable during the second quarter of 2013 resulted in the recognition of a portion of the related unrealized gain that arose following the valuation of the note receivable below its callable value at emergence from bankruptcy. The subsequent sale of the payment-in-kind note receivable during the first quarter of 2014 resulted in the recognition of the remaining unrealized gain.
During the third quarter of 2013, we recorded $3 of interest income as a result of a favorable legal ruling related to recovery of gross receipts tax paid in Brazil in earlier periods.
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. After remaining relatively unchanged during the second quarter the SICAD rate declined to 12.0 bolivars per U.S. dollar at September 30, 2014, resulting in a remeasurement charge of $3 during the third quarter. During the second and third quarters of 2014 we realized gains of $7 and $1 as CENCOEX approved a portion of our pending claims to settle U.S. dollar obligations at the official exchange rate of 6.3. Also during the second and third quarters of 2014 we realized net gains of $6 and $8 on sales and purchases of U.S. dollars through SICAD 2 at average rates of 49.9 bolivars per U.S. dollar. The foreign exchange gains and losses associated with our Venezuelan subsidiaries are 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. Gains of $3 and $1 from these settlements were recognized in the second and third quarters of 2013.
As discussed in Note 11 above, during the second quarter of 2013 we wrote off previously deferred financing costs associated with our prior revolving credit facility.
During the third quarter of 2014 we received a payment from the liquidation proceedings of insurers. During the third quarter of 2013, we sold claims pending in the liquidation proceedings of an insurer to a third party. During the first quarter of 2013, we recorded an insurance recovery related to business interruptions resulting from flooding in Thailand.
As part of correcting overstatements of our pension and postretirement obligations and goodwill in September 2014, we credited other income, net for $6 to effectively reverse a portion of the write-off of goodwill assigned to our former Driveshaft segment in 2008. See Note 1 for additional information.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Dollars in millions)
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes in this report.
Forward-Looking Information
Statements in this report (or otherwise made by us or on our behalf) that are not entirely historical constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are indicated by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “outlook” and similar expressions. These statements represent the present expectations of Dana Holding Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (Dana) based on our current information and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Our plans, actions and actual results could differ materially from our present expectations due to a number of factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this report.
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 September 30, 2014, we employed approximately 23,500 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 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. Since the first quarter of 2012, we've declared and paid quarterly common stock dividends of five cents per share. In July 2014, our Board of Directors approved the expansion of our existing share repurchase program from $1,000 to $1,400. 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. We repurchased 8 million common shares during the first nine months of 2014 for $181. In July 2014, the market price of our common shares provided Dana the option to effect the mandatory conversion of the remaining Series B preferred stock, and we converted all outstanding preferred shares in this year's third quarter.
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 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. A shared North American engineering center for our Light Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle operating segments allows us to 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, reduced unemployment and improving consumer confidence have stimulated new vehicle sales. Light vehicle sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 were 8% and 5% stronger than the comparable periods in 2013. Light vehicle production increased in line with unit sales, with this year's third quarter production of around 4.2 million units up 8% from 2013 and nine-month production of about 12.8 million units 5% higher than last year. In the full frame light truck segment where more of our programs are focused, third quarter and nine-month production in 2014 were about 6% and 7% stronger than the same periods of last year. Inventory levels of total light vehicles in the U.S. continue to be near normal levels. Inventory of around 64 days of supply at the end of September 2014 compares with 64 days at the end of 2013 and 62 days at the end of last year's third quarter. Full frame light truck inventory of 81 days of supply at the end of September 2014 compares with 67 days at the end of 2013 and 76 days at the end of September 2013.
We expect that improving economic fundamentals will continue to benefit the North American light vehicle markets. Our 2014 full year production outlook for light vehicle engines and full frame light trucks remains unchanged from our July projections, with both expected to be about 3 to 6% higher than in 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. Similar to the North America light vehicle market, improving economic conditions have strengthened 2014 unit sales and production levels of medium/heavy trucks. Third quarter 2014 medium duty production of around 52,000 units was about 1% higher than the third quarter of last year, while production levels in the first nine months of 2014 were up about 8%. 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 delay replacing existing vehicles. Beginning in the last quarter of 2013 and continuing in 2014, the order book for Class 8 vehicles has been strengthening. Third quarter 2014 production of about 78,000 units is up about 23% from the same period of last year, while nine-month 2014 production is about 18% higher.
With truck orders strengthening in this year's third quarter and the overall economy continuing to show improvement, we've increased our full year outlook for Class 8 vehicle production to a range of 290,000 to 300,000 units, an increase of 10,000 units from our July 2014 forecast, putting 2014 production about 18 to 22% higher than in 2013. Although our full year 2014 outlook for medium duty Classes 5-7 production is unchanged at 200,000 to 210,000 units, we expect to be near the high end of that range, resulting in full year production being about 4% higher than 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 increased light vehicle engine and truck production. Signs of continued economic improvement were reflected in light vehicle engine and light truck production levels for the first nine months of 2014 which were 3% and 7% stronger than the same period of 2013. We expect overall continued economic stability as we progress through the final months of 2014, with full year light vehicle engine build expected to be flat to up 6% versus 2013 and light truck production to be up about 2 to 3% from 2013, unchanged from our July 2014 forecast. Our South American markets are experiencing difficult economic environments. After improving slightly in 2013, light vehicle engine production in the first nine months of 2014 was down 18% compared to the same period of 2013, with comparative third quarter production down more than 20%. Light truck production for the first nine months of this year was down about 14% from last year's first nine months, with 2014 third-quarter production being down about 18%. We expect the economic environment in South America to be relatively weak during the remainder of this year. We lowered our full year 2014 light engine production forecast, which now reflects production being down about 13 to 15%, and we maintained our light truck production forecast at levels that are about 8 to 16% below last year. Light vehicle engine and light truck production levels in the Asia Pacific region were up about 5% and 11% in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, principally due to stronger production in China. Our full year 2014 production outlook in the Asia Pacific region is unchanged from our July forecast, with full year light vehicle engine production up about 2 to 4% from 2013 and light truck production about 2 to 7% higher than last year.
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. The Europe medium/heavy truck market during the first half of this year reflected an overall stable/strengthening economy. The recent developments in Eastern Europe along with other factors, however, have begun to reverse some of the first half market improvements. Europe medium/heavy truck production in this year's third quarter was about 10% lower than the same period in 2013, with the production over the first nine months of this year now reflecting a decline of about 1% from 2013. Our outlook for full year 2014 Europe production is unchanged from July 2014, reflecting a modest decline compared with full year 2013 production. South American medium/heavy truck production levels in this year's first nine months were down about 22% from 2013, with third quarter 2014 production down more than 25% from the previous year. With relative weakness persisting in this market for the remainder of this year, we've reduced our July 2014 full year 2014 production forecast to levels now expected to be about 22 to 27% below full year 2013. Asia Pacific medium/heavy truck production increased about 2% in 2013 after declining in each of the two preceding years. Production levels in 2014 have been about the same as in 2013, with China production levels weakening some and India continuing to show stability and signs of improvement. For the full year of 2014, we expect medium/heavy truck production to be nearer the low end of our 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 more than 75% of its sales coming from Europe and about 10% 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%. Overall market weakness persisted in 2014, with the global agriculture and construction/mining segments both being weaker in this year's third quarter and first nine months as compared to the same periods in 2013. For the full year of 2014, we lowered our agriculture segment production outlook from our July 2014 forecast and are now expecting global agriculture production to be down in the range of 5 to 11% from 2013. We also lowered our full year outlook for the construction/mining segment, with global production in 2014 now expected to be down in the range of 5 to 9% from last year.
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. Our production activities were curtailed for most of 2014 as our major original equipment customers suspended production and only recently began bringing some production back on line in this year's third quarter. Our sales in Venezuela during the first nine months of 2014 approximated $70, mostly relating to aftermarket business. By comparison, sales in the same period of 2013 approximated $120, with the devaluation of the bolivar during that period also contributing to some market disruptions. Full year sales in 2013 approximated $170.
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 that was recognized in first quarter 2014 other income, net. Since March 31, 2014, the SICAD rate has increased to 12.0 bolivars per U.S. dollar at September 30, 2014, resulting in additional translation losses of $3. Based on our current bolivar-denominated net monetary asset position, a change in the exchange rate to 20 bolivars per U.S. dollar would result in an estimated pre-tax charge to net income of approximately $12. In this year's third quarter, the Venezuela government granted authorization to companies in the automotive and automotive parts industry to access the SICAD market to purchase U.S. dollars. Accordingly, we began accessing the SICAD market in the third quarter to obtain U.S. dollars which were used to purchase materials supporting limited resumption of production.
At September 30, 2014, the net investment in our Venezuelan operations was $65. Included in this investment is $34 of bolivar-denominated cash, $31 of property plant and equipment and $43 of U.S. dollar-denominated intercompany and third party obligations. During the second and third quarters of 2014, the National Center of Foreign Commerce (CENCOEX) approved $20 of our submitted requests to satisfy U.S. dollar-denominated obligations with bolivars at the official exchange rate of 6.3. We recognized foreign exchange gains of $8 in other income, net on these transactions as such bolivars had been valued at the higher SICAD rate. The proceeds from these currency exchanges were used to reduce U.S. dollar-denominated liabilities of our Venezuelan operations. As of September 30, 2014, we had outstanding requests with CENCOEX seeking approval to satisfy $30 of U.S. dollar-denominated obligations with bolivars at the official exchange rate.
Subsequent to March 31, 2014, to satisfy applicable Venezuela import/export and foreign exchange requirements, our Venezuelan operation collected U.S. dollar-denominated intercompany receivables and exchanged the proceeds thereon, net of expenses, for bolivars in the SICAD 2 market at an average rate of 49.9 bolivars per U.S. dollar. Upon translation of the bolivars at the SICAD rate, we recognized currency transaction gains of $15 in other income, net. In addition, our Venezuelan operation purchased U.S. dollars in the SICAD 2 market to settle certain obligations and recognized currency transaction losses of $1 in other income, net.
The future performance of our Venezuelan 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 third quarter and first nine months of 2014, higher commodity prices increased our costs by approximately $3 and $29 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2013, while results for last year's third quarter and first nine months reflected increased costs of $6 and $15 versus 2012. Cost recovery pricing actions, including material, increased sales by about $26 in
the third quarter of 2014 and $39 for the first nine months of 2014 as compared to increasing sales by $15 and $43 in last year's third quarter and first nine months.
Sales, Earnings and Cash Flow Outlook

Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures discussion below for definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
During 2012 and 2013, we experienced uneven end user markets, with some being relatively strong and others somewhat weak, and the conditions across the regions of the world differing quite dramatically. Considering our served end markets and regional economies, on balance, the effect of market volumes on our sales has been relatively stable. Weaker international currencies relative to the U.S. dollar during the past two years were the most significant factor reducing our reported sales, while scheduled light vehicle program roll-offs also contributed to the decrease. For 2014, we expected market volumes in most of our end user markets and regions to be stable or up sightly, although certain of our markets – South America, Thailand and India – are experiencing continued economic challenges and our global off-highway business has been somewhat weaker. Additionally, Europe markets in the second half of 2014 have begun to weaken compared to the first half of this year. With continuing currency headwinds and persistent weakness, principally in South America and the global off-highway business, we currently expect full year 2014 sales to approximate $6,650.
We have placed significant focus on right sizing and rationalizing our manufacturing operations, implementing other cost reduction initiatives and ensuring that customer programs were competitively priced. In combination with an improved and relatively stable global economic environment, these efforts were the primary drivers of our improved Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of sales during the past couple of years. With inflationary, currency and economic developments in certain South American and Asian countries and our global off-highway business presenting more of a 2014 headwind than originally expected and with the Europe economic rebound slowing, we've lowered our full year Adjusted EBITDA outlook to $745 from our July estimate of $760, with Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of sales still expected to be comparable to up slightly from 2013.
Our cash flow has benefited primarily from increased earnings and lower capital spending, more than offsetting higher working capital requirements associated with increased sale volumes, higher tax obligations and larger pension funding commitments. Free cash flow in 2012 was impacted by a $150 voluntary contribution to our U.S. pension plans. In 2013, free cash flow benefited, in part, from a strong focus on inventory reduction and other working capital efficiencies during the latter part of the year. We also benefited from the receipt of $28 of interest relating to a callable payment-in-kind note receivable. With our relatively stable sales outlook, we expect another strong year of free cash generation in 2014. We tightened our free cash flow outlook for 2014 at $285 to $295, with the upper end of the range unchanged from our July 2014 guidance. Our 2014 outlook includes expected capital spending of about $230, up slightly from 2013. Cash taxes of about $120 are comparable with 2013 and restructuring expenditures, which are now expected to be around $30, are slightly lower than last year. With the additional debt we added in the second half of 2013, net interest will consume cash of around $70 in 2014. Net interest in 2014 includes $40 of interest received in January 2014 from the sale of a callable payment-in-kind note receivable, which compares with $28 received in 2013 from prepayment proceeds on this note. Pension contributions are expected to be lower in 2014 at around $25 as we do not expect to make additional contributions to our U.S. plans based on their present funding levels.
During the above period we also began putting increased focus and investment into product technology and directing increased attention to the growth initiatives described in the Operational and Strategic Initiatives section above to position us for profitable future growth. Partly attributable to some of these new technologies, we have net new business that has been awarded that is expected to increase sales by $560 during 2014 through 2016, with most of that coming in the last two years. The higher returns associated with this new business are expected to help drive increased future Adjusted EBITDA margins.

Consolidated sales for the third quarter of 2014 were $32 lower than in the same period of 2013. Weaker international currencies, primarily in Venezuela and Argentina, reduced sales by $35. Cost recovery pricing increased sales by $26, which offset the global impact of lower sales volumes.
Stronger production levels in North America were largely responsible for the increased sales in this region. Light vehicle engine production and full frame light truck production were up 8% and 6% from the third quarter of 2013 while medium/heavy truck production levels were about 13% higher.
In Europe, weaker demand in our Off-Highway business, which has a significant European presence, lowered sales by $22, more than offsetting increased sales from stronger light vehicle engine production.
South America sales in this year's third quarter were adversely impacted by currency effects in Venezuela and Argentina. Excluding currency effects, third-quarter sales were down 10% from the same period in 2013. The organic sales decrease in the region was primarily driven by reductions in production levels of more than 20% in the medium/heavy truck market segment and around 18% in the light truck segment.
Sales in the Asia Pacific region were down 3% from last year's third quarter, primarily due to weaker sales volumes in Thailand and India.
Cost of sales and gross margin — The cost of sales decline of $37, or 3%, for the third quarter of 2014 was primarily driven by weaker overall international currencies and lower market demand in the South America region and our Off-Highway business. An increase in warranty costs of $6 in this year's third quarter unfavorably impacted cost of sales. Higher commodity costs added $3 and engineering and product development costs added $2 to cost of sales. More than offsetting these increases were material cost reductions from supplier rationalization and other supply chain initiatives of $14 and other cost savings initiatives that resulted in cost of sales as a percent of sales decreasing about 60 basis points compared to last year's third quarter.
Gross margin of $240 in the third quarter of 2014 increased $5 from the same period in 2013, representing 14.7% of sales in 2014 as compared to 14.1% of sales in 2013. The nearly 60 basis point improvement in gross margin was principally driven by overall better cost performance referenced in the preceding paragraph.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) — SG&A expenses were $97 in the third quarter of both 2014 and 2013. Salary and benefits expense in this year's third quarter was approximately $1 lower than in 2013, with selling expense and other discretionary spending being up $1. Overall inflationary cost increases have been offset with cost reduction actions.
Amortization of intangibles — The reduction of $8 in amortization of intangibles is attributable to certain customer related intangibles becoming fully amortized in January 2014.
Restructuring charges — Restructuring charges of $2 in the third quarter of 2014 represented employee separation costs, primarily associated with previously announced facility closure and realignment actions. The restructuring charges of $8 in the third quarter of 2013 were attributed primarily to employee separation costs in connection with the closure of our Commercial Vehicle foundry operation in Argentina, along with costs attributable to previously initiated actions.

Interest income decreased $3 from 2013 as a result of selling our payment-in-kind note receivable during the first quarter of 2014. Effective March 31, 2014, we ceased using the official exchange rate of 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar 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. After remaining relatively unchanged during the second quarter, the SICAD rate declined to 12.0 bolivars per U.S. dollar at September 30, 2014, resulting in a remeasurement charge of $3 during the third quarter. During the third quarter of 2014, we realized a $1 gain as CENCOEX approved a portion of our pending claims to settle U.S. dollar obligations at the official exchange rate of 6.3. Also during the third quarter of 2014, we realized net gains of $8 on the sale and purchase of U.S. dollars through SICAD 2 at an average rate of 49.9 bolivars per U.S. dollar. During the third quarter of 2013, we recognized a gain of $1 relating to settlement of Venezuelan U.S. dollar obligations at the 4.3 official rate that existed prior to the February 2013 devaluation of the bolivar. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information. During 2014 we received a payment from the liquidation proceedings of an insolvent insurer, and during 2013 we sold claims pending in the liquidation proceedings of an insurer to a third party. As part of correcting overstatements of our pension and postretirement obligations and goodwill in September 2014, we credited other income, net for $6 to effectively reverse a portion of the write-off of goodwill assigned to our former Driveshaft segment in 2008. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.
Interest expense — Interest expense was $30 and $27 in 2014 and 2013. The impact of higher average debt levels was partially offset by a lower average effective interest rate. As discussed in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I, we completed the sale of $750 in senior unsecured notes in July 2013. Average effective interest rates, inclusive of amortization of debt issuance costs, approximated 7.0% and 7.5% in 2014 and 2013.
Income tax expense — Income tax expense of our continuing operations was $29 and $34 in the third quarter of 2014 and 2013. The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to valuation allowances in several countries and the pre-tax income distribution among the countries, nondeductible expenses, different statutory rates outside the U.S. and withholding taxes.
In the U.S. and certain other countries, our recent history of operating losses does not allow us to satisfy the “more likely than not” criterion for recognition of deferred tax assets. Therefore, there is generally no income tax recognized on the pre-tax income or losses in these jurisdictions as valuation allowance adjustments offset the associated tax effects. We believe that it is reasonably possible that up to $625 of the valuation allowances against our U.S. deferred tax assets could be released in the next twelve months. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for a discussion of the factors considered in our quarterly evaluation of the valuation allowances against our U.S. deferred tax assets.
Equity in earnings of affiliates — Equity investments provided net earnings of $2 and $3 in 2014 and 2013, with equity in earnings of Bendix Spicer Foundation Break, LLC (BSFB) being $3 in 2014 and $2 in 2013.
Loss from discontinued operations — Discontinued operations activity relates to our Structural Products business that was substantially divested in 2010. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I.

Sales for the first nine months of 2014 were $110 lower than for the same period of 2013, with weaker international currencies contributing $107 of the decrease. Sales were reduced $42 due to volume levels as stronger light vehicle and medium/heavy truck production levels in North America were more than offset by reduced demand and economic weakness in the South America and Asia Pacific regions and lower demand in our off-highway markets. Partially offsetting the volume reduction was $39 of cost recovery pricing achieved during the first nine months of 2014.
Stronger production levels in North America were largely responsible for the 5% organic sales increase in this region. Light vehicle engine production and full frame light truck production were 6% and 7% stronger than in the first nine months of last year, while medium/heavy truck production levels were about 13% higher. Partially offsetting the increased sales from these stronger production levels was lower Off-Highway sales, due partly to reduced demand levels and partly to a customer program discontinued in 2013.
Excluding currency effects, principally from a stronger Euro and British pound, our sales in Europe in the first nine months of 2014 were 1% lower than in 2013. Higher sales from increased light vehicle engine and light truck production of around 3% and 7% were more than offset by weaker Off-Highway demand levels.
South America sales in the first nine months of 2014 were adversely impacted by weaker currencies in Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela. Excluding currency effects, sales were down 6% from the same period in 2013. The organic sales decrease in the region was primarily driven by reductions in production levels of more than 20% in the medium/heavy truck market and a decline of about 18% in the light vehicle market. Partially offsetting weaker demand levels in the region were higher sales associated with light vehicle new business and content increases.
Nine-month 2014 sales in the Asia Pacific region were down 13% from 2013. Reductions in sales from currency effects were primarily attributable to the weaker Thai baht and Indian rupee. The organic sales decrease of 9% in the region was driven principally by weaker light vehicle and medium/truck sales volumes in Thailand, Australia and India, with lower Off-Highway sales levels in our China operation also contributing to the year-over-year decline.
Cost of sales and gross margin — Cost of sales for the first nine months of 2014 declined $124, or 3%, due primarily to currency effects and lower sales volumes. Higher material commodity costs of $29, additional warranty cost of $13 and increased engineering and product development cost of $5 increased cost of sales. These increases were more than offset by continued supplier rationalization and other supply chain initiatives which provided cost savings of $46 and other cost reduction initiatives which contributed to a more than 50 basis point reduction in cost of sales as a percent of sales.
Gross margin of $722 in the first nine months of 2014 increased $14 from the same period in 2013, representing 14.3% of sales in 2014 as compared to 13.8% of sales in 2013. The more than 50 basis point improvement in gross margin was principally driven by overall better cost performance referenced in the preceding paragraph.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) — SG&A expenses in the first nine months of 2014 were $310 (6.2% of sales) as compared to $305 (5.9% of sales) in 2013. Salary and benefits expense in this year's first nine months was approximately $4 higher than in the same period in 2013, with selling expense and other discretionary spending being $1 higher when compared to 2013.
Amortization of intangibles — The reduction of $22 in amortization of intangibles is attributable to certain customer related intangibles becoming fully amortized in January 2014.
Restructuring charges — Restructuring charges of $14 in the first nine months of 2014 represented employee separation costs associated with the closure of our Commercial Vehicle foundry in Argentina and continuing employee separation and exit costs associated with previously announced facility closures and realignment actions. The restructuring charges of $14 in the same period in 2013 related primarily to headcount reduction initiatives in Argentina and Australia along with costs associated with previously initiated actions, offset by a reversal of $9 resulting from plan modifications.

Interest income decreased $9 from 2013 as a result of selling our payment-in-kind note receivable during the first quarter of 2014. During the second quarter of 2013, we received a payment on the payment-in-kind note receivable which resulted in the recognition of $5 of unrealized gain that arose following the valuation of the note below its callable value at emergence from bankruptcy. The subsequent sale of the payment-in-kind note receivable during the first quarter of 2014 resulted in the recognition of the remaining $2 of unrealized gain.
Effective March 31, 2014, we ceased using the official exchange rate of 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar 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. After remaining relatively unchanged during the second quarter the SICAD rate declined to 12.0 bolivars per U.S. dollar at September 30, 2014, resulting in a remeasurement charge of $3 during the third quarter. Since March 31, 2014, we realized gains of $8 as CENCOEX approved a portion of our pending claims to settle U.S. dollar obligations at the official exchange rate of 6.3. We also realized net gains of $14 on the sale and purchase of U.S. dollars through SICAD 2 at an average rate of 49.9 bolivars per U.S. dollar. Foreign exchange loss for the first nine months of 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 and subsequent recoveries of $4 relating to settlement of U.S. dollar obligations in Venezuela at the 4.3 official rate that existed prior to the February 2013 devaluation of the bolivar. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.
During 2013, we wrote off $2 of deferred financing costs associated with our prior revolving credit facility. During 2014 we received a payment from the liquidation proceedings of an insolvent insurer and during 2013 we sold claims pending in the liquidation proceedings of an insurer to a third party and received a business interruption insurance recovery related to flooding in Thailand. As part of correcting overstatements of our pension and postretirement obligations and goodwill in September 2014, we credited other income, net for $6 to effectively reverse a portion of the write-off of goodwill assigned to our former Driveshaft segment in 2008. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.
Interest expense — Interest expense was $89 and $69 in 2014 and 2013. The impact of higher average debt levels was partially offset by a lower average effective interest rate. As discussed in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I, we completed the sale of $750 in senior unsecured notes in July 2013. Average effective interest rates, inclusive of amortization of debt issuance costs, approximated 7.0% and 8.1% in 2014 and 2013.
Income tax expense — Income tax expense of our continuing operations was $96 for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013. The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to valuation allowances in several countries and the pre-tax income distribution among the countries, nondeductible expenses, different statutory rates outside the U.S. and withholding taxes. As part of applying the annual effective tax rate, we recognized net expense of $5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 related to future income taxes and non-U.S. withholding taxes on repatriations
from operations that are not permanently reinvested. During the first nine months of 2014, we also recognized expense of $5 for withholding taxes associated with changes to planned repatriations of certain foreign earnings and we accrued $2 for settlement of tax matters in Italy. In the first nine months of 2013, we recorded a benefit of $2 for the release of certain valuation allowances in the United Kingdom.
In the U.S. and certain other countries, our recent history of operating losses does not allow us to satisfy the “more likely than not” criterion for recognition of deferred tax assets. Therefore, there is generally no income tax recognized on the pre-tax income or losses in these jurisdictions as valuation allowance adjustments offset the associated tax effects. We believe that it is reasonably possible that up to $625 of the valuation allowances against our U.S. deferred tax assets could be released in the next twelve months. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for a discussion of the factors considered in our quarterly evaluation of the valuation allowances against our U.S. deferred tax assets.
Equity in earnings of affiliates — Equity investments provided net earnings of $9 and $10 in the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, with equity in earnings of DDAC being $2 in 2014 and $5 in 2013. Equity in earnings of BSFB were $8 in 2014 and $6 in 2013.
Loss from discontinued operations — Discontinued operations activity relates to our Structural Products business that was substantially divested in 2010. The loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes a charge resulting from final settlement of the claims presented by the buyer, exit costs incurred in connection with retained properties and legal fees. Discontinued operations for the nine-month period of 2013 was the net result of recoveries of prior costs finalized during the period, restructuring expenses related to ongoing maintenance of retained properties and legal fees. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I.

Light Vehicle sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 were adversely impacted by currency effects, principally from a lower valued Venezuela bolivar, Argentina peso and Thailand baht, partially offset by a stronger Great Britain pound. Exclusive of currency effects, sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 were were higher by about 2%. Pricing recovery for inflationary costs increased year-over-year third quarter sales by $22, while increasing sales by $34 for the comparative nine-month periods. Volume levels reduced comparative third-quarter and nine-month 2014 sales by $11and $1. Stronger production levels in North America increased this segment's sales volume, with North America full frame truck production in 2014 up about 6 to 7% in this year's third quarter and nine-month periods and light engine production 6 to 8% higher in both periods. Sales volumes associated with strong North America production were more than offset in the third quarter and partially offset for the first nine months by weaker light vehicle production levels in South America and lower sales in the Asia Pacific region, principally in Thailand, India and Australia.
Light Vehicle segment EBITDA of $70 in this year's third quarter was $3 higher than EBITDA in the same period of 2013, while segment EBITDA of $176 for the first nine months of 2014 was down $3 from last year's first nine months. As more fully discussed in Note 1 of our financial statements in Part 1, this segment's earnings were impacted by currency-related developments in Venezuela. The first quarter of 2014 included a charge of $17 for devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar resulting from use of the SICAD exchange rate rather than the official exchange rate for translating the financial results of our Venezuelan operations. This segment's third quarter and nine-month results benefited by $1 and $8 from gains on settlements of U.S. dollar obligations at the official rate of 6.3, while translation impacts associated with SICAD rate changes subsequent to March 31, 2014 reduced third quarter and nine-month EBITDA by $3. The 2013 results included a charge of $6 in the first quarter relating to an official devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar, while the third quarter and nine-month results of 2013
reflected gains of $1 and $4 resulting from settlement of U.S. dollar obligations at the 4.3 official rate in effect prior to the February 2013 devaluation. The net impact of these devaluation-related items was year-over-year decreased third quarter and nine-month EBITDA of $3 and $10. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, net sales of U.S. dollars in the SICAD 2 market at an average 49.9 bolivars per dollar resulted in net gains of $8 and $14 that are included above in currency effects.
The performance-related improvement in Light Vehicle's third quarter and nine-month segment EBITDA reflects the above-mentioned pricing recovery of $22 and $34 along with material cost savings of $6 and $13. These benefits were partially offset by higher year-over-year third quarter and nine-month commodity costs of $1 and $14 along with inflationary cost increases in the respective periods.

Third-quarter 2014 sales in our Commercial Vehicle segment were 5% higher compared to the same period in 2013, while sales in this year's first nine months, after adjusting for currency, were up 1% from the comparable 2013 period. North America volume-related sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 increased about $40 and $70 due principally to higher Class 8 production of 23% for the comparative third quarter period and 18% for the nine-month period. The increased sales from stronger North America production in these periods was partially offset by lower volume-related sales in South America of about $25 and $60, principally due to lower medium/heavy truck production levels in that region of more than 20%.
Commercial Vehicle segment EBITDA of $47 in the third quarter of 2014 was $5 lower than in the same period of 2013, while nine-month 2014 EBITDA of $138 was $16 lower than 2013. The year-over-year reduction in segment EBITDA attributed to performance includes increases in material commodity costs of $2 and $16 for the third quarter and first nine months. Increases in warranty costs of $4 and $6 reduced year-over-year third quarter and nine-month EBITDA, with supplier disruption costs decreasing EBITDA by $3 in both periods. These were partially offset by material cost savings that were nominal in the third quarter of 2014 and $8 in this year's first nine months, and material recovery of $5 and $7 in the third quarter and nine-month periods.

Sales in our Off-Highway segment for the third quarter of 2014 were down about 11% from the same period of 2013, while currency-adjusted sales for the first nine months of 2014 were 8% lower. Lower demand levels in the agriculture, construction and mining segments of this business reduced sales in the three-month and nine-month periods. Also contributing to the volume-related reduction in the nine-month period was discontinuance of a customer program in 2013.
Segment EBITDA of $40 in the third quarter of 2014 was the same as the comparable 2013 period, while nine-month 2014 EBITDA of $128 was $1 higher than in the first nine months of 2013. Performance EBITDA improvements were primarily
attributable to material cost savings of $6 and $18 for the third quarter and first nine months, partially offset by other cost increases.

Power Technologies primarily serves the light vehicle market but also sells product to the medium/heavy truck and off-highway markets. Sales in the third quarter of 2014, net of currency effects, increased about 2% over the third quarter of 2013, while currency-adjusted sales for the first nine months of this year increased by about 4%. Stronger light vehicle engine builds and medium/heavy truck production in North America and Europe were the primary drivers of the volume-related sales increase.
Segment EBITDA of $37 reported for Power Technologies in the third quarter of 2014 was $2 lower than in last year's third quarter, while nine-month 2014 EBITDA of $120 was $6 higher than in the first nine months of 2013. Third quarter 2014 performance impact reflects $1 of reduced pricing and $1 of net cost increases. Performance in the comparative nine-month period included an increase in warranty expense of $5 along with reduced pricing of $4. Partially offsetting these items were material cost savings of $7 and $1 of other net cost reduction actions.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
We have defined adjusted EBITDA as earnings from continuing and discontinued operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, equity grant expense, restructuring expense and other nonrecurring items (gain/loss on debt extinguishment or divestitures, impairment, etc.). Adjusted EBITDA is a primary driver of cash flows from operations and a measure of our ability to maintain and continue to invest in our operations and provide shareholder returns. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for income before income taxes, net income or other results reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The following table provides a reconciliation of segment EBTIDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income.

Free Cash Flow
We have defined free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. We believe this measure is useful to investors in evaluating the operational cash flow of the company inclusive of the spending required to maintain the operations. Free cash flow is neither intended to represent nor be an alternative to the measure of net cash provided by operating activities reported under GAAP. Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The following table reconciles free cash flow to net cash flows provided by operating activities.

Liquidity
Our global liquidity at September 30, 2014 was as follows:
|
| | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 1,103 |
|
Less: Deposits supporting obligations | (22 | ) |
Available cash | 1,081 |
|
Additional cash availability from revolving facility | 326 |
|
Marketable securities | 169 |
|
Total global liquidity | $ | 1,576 |
|
Cash deposits are maintained to provide credit enhancement for certain agreements and are reported as part of cash and cash equivalents. For most of these deposits, the cash may be withdrawn if a comparable security is provided in the form of letters of credit. Accordingly, these deposits are not considered to be restricted.
Marketable securities are included as a component of global liquidity as these investments can be readily liquidated at our discretion.
Cash and marketable securities of $160 held by a wholly-owned subsidiary, Dana Companies, LLC, at September 30, 2014 can be transferred out of this subsidiary only if approved by its independent board member. Accordingly, accessing this component of global liquidity is uncertain.
The components of our September 30, 2014 consolidated cash balance were as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| U.S. | | Non-U.S. | | Total |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 239 |

|
Consolidated cash balance | $ | 242 |
| | $ | 861 |
| | $ | 1,103 |
|
A portion of the non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents is utilized for working capital and other operating purposes. Several countries have local regulatory requirements that significantly restrict the ability of our operations to repatriate this cash. Beyond these restrictions, there are practical limitations on repatriation of cash from certain subsidiaries because of the resulting tax withholdings and subsidiary by-law restrictions which could limit our ability to access cash and other assets.
The principal sources of liquidity available for our future cash requirements are expected to be (i) cash flows from operations, (ii) cash and cash equivalents on hand and (iii) borrowings from our revolving facility. We believe that our overall liquidity and operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for capital expenditures, working capital, debt obligations, common stock repurchases and other commitments during the next twelve months. While uncertainty surrounding the current economic environment could adversely impact our business, based on our current financial position, we believe it is unlikely that any such effects would preclude us from maintaining sufficient liquidity.
At September 30, 2014, we had no borrowings under the revolving facility but we had utilized $43 for letters of credit. Based on our borrowing base collateral, we had availability as of that date under the revolving facility of $326 after deducting the outstanding letters of credit.
At September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with the covenants of our financing agreements. Under the revolving facility and the senior notes, we are required to comply with certain incurrence-based covenants customary for facilities of these types. The incurrence-based covenants in the revolving facility permit us to, among other things, (i) issue foreign subsidiary indebtedness, (ii) incur general secured indebtedness and (iii) incur additional unsecured debt so long as the pro forma minimum fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.0:1.0. We may also make dividend payments in respect of our common stock as well as certain investments and acquisitions so long as there is (i) at least $100 of pro forma excess borrowing availability or (ii) at least $75 of pro forma excess borrowing availability and the pro forma minimum fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.0:1.0. The indenture governing the senior notes includes similar incurrence-based covenants that may subject us to additional specified limitations.
Our Board of Directors approved an expansion of our existing common stock share repurchase program from $1,000 to $1,400 on July 30, 2014. The share repurchase program expires on December 31, 2015. During the first nine months of 2014, we paid $181 to acquire 8,295,202 shares of common stock in the open market, leaving $390 available under the program for further share repurchases. We plan to repurchase shares utilizing available excess cash either in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchases are subject to prevailing market conditions and other considerations.
We operate in Venezuela where government exchange controls place restrictions on our ability to repatriate funds, and in Argentina, where trade-related initiatives and other government restrictions limit our ability to optimize operating effectiveness. At September 30, 2014, our net asset exposures related to Venezuela and Argentina were approximately $65 and $33 respectively, including $31 and $9 of net fixed assets.
As of September 30, 2014, we had $34 of bolivar-denominated cash and cash equivalent balances and $30 of U.S. dollar exchange requests pending with CENCOEX for settlement at the official exchange rate of 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar. Over
$23 of these pending exchange requests have been outstanding for over 12 months. We have had $47 of claims settled at the official exchange rate of 6.3 since February 2013. 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 September 30, 2014 SICAD rate of 12.0.
From time to time, depending upon market, pricing and other conditions, as well as our cash balances and liquidity, we may seek to acquire our notes or other indebtedness or our common stock through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine (or as may be provided for in the indentures governing the notes), for cash, securities or other consideration. There can be no assurance that we will pursue any such transactions in the future, as the pursuit of any alternative will depend upon numerous factors such as market conditions, our financial performance and the limitations applicable to such transactions under our financing and governance documents.

The table above summarizes our consolidated statement of cash flows. During the first nine months of 2013 we received a $61 payment on a payment-in-kind note receivable. The payment included $33 of principal and $28 of interest, $26 of which relates to prior years. Subsequently in January 2014 we sold the payment-in-kind note receivable to a third party for $75. The proceeds included $35 of principal and $40 of interest related to prior years. The principal portion of the cash received has been classified as cash provided by investing activities and the interest portion has been classified as cash provided by operating activities.
Operating activities — Exclusive of working capital, other cash provided by operations was $422 and $368 in 2014 and 2013. Lower operating earnings in 2014 were largely offset by higher year-over-year cash received on our payment-in-kind note receivable attributed to interest and to lower pension contributions.
Working capital used cash of $120 in the first nine months of 2014 and $75 in 2013. Cash of $142 was used in 2014 to finance increased receivables and $125 was used in 2013. We also used cash of $84 and $47 to fund higher inventory levels in 2014 and 2013. Partially offsetting the cash used for higher receivables and inventory in both 2014 and 2013 was cash provided by increases in accounts payable and other net liabilities of $106 in 2014 and $97 in 2013.
Investing activities — Expenditures for property, plant and equipment in the first nine months of 2014 were $144, as compared to $123 in 2013. As discussed above, during 2014 and 2013 we received $35 and $33 of principal related to our payment-in-kind note receivable. During 2014 and 2013, net purchases of marketable securities were primarily funded by cash receipts related to our payment-in-kind note receivable. During the first nine months of 2014 we received $9 from the escrow agent upon reaching final agreement on all pending claims related to the sale our Structural Products business in 2010. During the first nine months of 2013 we paid $8 related to our strategic alliance with Fallbrook.
Financing activities — During the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, we made scheduled long-term debt repayments and made additional long-term borrowings at international locations. During the first nine months of 2013, we completed the sale of $750 in senior unsecured notes and paid financing costs of $14 related to our senior unsecured notes and $3 to amend our revolving facility. We used $181 to repurchase 8,295,202 common shares and $288 to repurchase 12,378,342 common shares during the first nine months of 2014 and 2013. Additionally, during the first nine months of 2013 we used $474 to redeem our Series A preferred stock. Dividends paid to preferred shareholders were $6 and $23 in the first nine months of 2014 and 2013. The decrease in preferred dividends paid is due to the third quarter 2013 redemption of our Series A preferred stock and a decrease in our outstanding Series B preferred stock as holders have converted 2,821,565 Series B preferred shares into common stock since September 30, 2013. During the first nine months of 2013, we paid $7 to purchase the noncontrolling interests in our United Kingdom subsidiaries.
Contractual Obligations
Preferred dividends accrued but not paid were $2 at September 30, 2014 and $4 at December 31, 2013.
There have been no material changes at September 30, 2014 in our contractual obligations from those reported or estimated in the disclosures in Item 7 of our 2013 Form 10-K.
Contingencies
On April 22, 2014, SIFCO S.A. and affiliated companies filed for judicial reorganization before Bankruptcy Court in São Paulo, Brazil, and an ancillary Chapter 15 proceeding before the Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York. At present, SIFCO is expected to continue operating while going through reorganization proceedings, and no significant disruptions are anticipated to SIFCO’s supply of product to Dana. The supply agreement with SIFCO provides Dana with an option of exercising preferential contractual rights, including access rights, as well as other legal rights and remedies, in the event that SIFCO is unable to satisfy the product supply requirements of the agreement. During 2013, our Commercial Vehicle operating segment purchased approximately $170 of products under the supply agreement with SIFCO.
For a summary of litigation and other contingencies, see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I. We believe that any liabilities beyond the amounts already accrued that may result from these contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to use estimates and make judgments and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. There have been no material changes in the application of our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q, as well as in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K. Our critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7 of our 2013 Form 10-K.
U.S. Pension Plans — Long-term interest rates on high quality corporate debt instruments, which are used to determine the discount rate, have declined during 2014. The lower interest rates, if unchanged during the fourth quarter, would result in a year-end discount rate of 4.10%, which is 53 basis points lower than the December 31, 2013 discount rate. Our 2014 pension fund asset performance through September 30, 2014 was above our expected long-term annual rate of 7.00%. The year-end valuation, assuming no change in interest rates and asset earnings at the expected rate during the fourth quarter, would result in an actuarial loss of approximately $10 being charged to other comprehensive income.
As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, we initiated a program in September under which certain former employees with vested pension benefits have been offered lump-sum payments to settle those pension obligations. The same participants will also have an option under the program to begin receiving monthly benefits soon after the program ends – earlier than previously allowed under the related plans. This voluntary program, which ends November 3, 2014, provides for lump-sum payments to be made in December using plan assets. The lump-sum payments will effect settlement of the related obligations, resulting in the recognition of a settlement charge in the fourth quarter. The amount of this charge will be a function of the assumptions underlying the year-end valuation and the number of participants electing to receive lump-sum payments. Using the actuarial assumptions discussed above and a 60% acceptance rate, the reduction in the pension benefit obligation (PBO) and the non-cash charge to earnings would approximate $150 and $30. In addition to benefiting from the reduction in the PBO, we expect to realize future savings in administrative costs as a result of the settlements.
The net effect of the normal 2014 pension activities, along with the assumption changes and settlement activities described above, would increase our funded status from 91% at the end of 2013 to approximately 94% at December 31, 2014. We currently expect there to be no minimum funding requirement for 2015. The actual impact on our financial statements and results of operations will depend on the year-end valuation and the rate of acceptance under the settlement program currently in process.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
During May 2014, we canceled two of our foreign currency-denominated intercompany loans which had an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent exposure of approximately $375. The $225 of currency swaps associated with these euro-denominated and
Canadian dollar-denominated loans were also terminated at that time. See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.
There have been no material changes to market risk exposures related to changes in interest rates or commodity costs from those discussed in Item 7A of our 2013 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures — We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information disclosed in the reports we file with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q. Our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting — There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
CEO and CFO certifications — The Certifications of our CEO and CFO that are attached to this report as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 include information about our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As discussed in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I, we are a party to various pending judicial and administrative proceedings that arose in the ordinary course of business.
After reviewing the currently pending lawsuits and proceedings (including the probable outcomes, reasonably anticipated costs and expenses, availability and limits of our insurance coverage and our established reserves for uninsured liabilities), we believe that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings beyond the amounts already accrued are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in our risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our 2013 Form 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer's purchases of equity securities - On July 30, 2014, our Board of Directors approved an expansion of our existing share repurchase program from $1,000 to $1,400. The share repurchase program expires on December 31, 2015. We will repurchase shares utilizing available excess cash either in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchases are subject to prevailing market conditions and other considerations. Under the program we used cash of $68 to repurchase shares of our common stock during the third quarter of 2014.
