BORGWARNER INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

(1)      Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and accompanying notes, as well as, the amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the periods covered by those financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

(2) Research and Development Expenditures

The Company's net Research & Development ("R&D") expenditures are included in selling, general and administrative expenses of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Customer reimbursements are netted against gross R&D expenditures as they are considered a recovery of cost. Customer reimbursements for prototypes are recorded net of prototype costs based on customer contracts, typically either when the prototype is shipped or when it is accepted by the customer. Customer reimbursements for engineering services are recorded when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with the contract and accepted by the customer. Financial risks and rewards transfer upon shipment, acceptance of a prototype component by the customer or upon completion of the performance obligation as stated in the respective customer agreement.

The following table presents the Company’s gross and net expenditures on R&D activities:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $13.3 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $1.3 million and $26.9 million, respectively. These expenses related to Drivetrain and Engine segment actions designed to improve future profitability and competitiveness. See the Restructuring footnote to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these expenses.

On September 27, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Sevcon, Inc. ("Sevcon"), a global player in electrification technologies, serving customers in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Italy, China and the Asia Pacific region. As a result, the Company recorded $6.4 million of transaction related professional fees during the three months ended September 30, 2017. See the Recent Transactions footnote to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred transition and realignment expenses and other professional fees of $5.9 million and $18.9 million, respectively, associated with the November 2015 acquisition of Remy International, Inc. ("Remy"). Additionally, in October 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the light vehicle aftermarket business associated with Remy. The Company determined that assets and liabilities subject to the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business sale met the held for sale criteria during the third quarter of 2016. The fair value of the assets and liabilities, based on the anticipated sale price, was less than the carrying value, therefore, the Company recorded an asset impairment expense of $106.5 million to adjust the net book value of this business to its fair value. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company sold the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business for approximately $80 million in cash.

During the first three months of 2017, the Company recorded a loss of $5.3 million related to the termination of a long term property lease for a manufacturing facility located in Europe.

(4) Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes is based upon an estimated annual tax rate for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. On a quarterly basis, the annual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter.

At September 30, 2017, the Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months was 28.2%. This rate includes respective tax benefits of $1.2 million, $0.3 million, and $11.7 million which are associated with restructuring expense, merger and acquisition expense, and one-time tax adjustments that primarily resulted from tax audit settlements.


8

At September 30, 2016, the Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months was 32.6%. This rate includes tax benefits of $27.6 million and $5.9 million related to asset impairment and restructuring expense, respectively, as discussed in the Other Expense, net footnote to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and $3.7 million related to other one-time tax adjustments, as well as a tax expense of $2.2 million related to a gain associated with the release of certain Remy light vehicle aftermarket liabilities due to the expiration of a customer contract.

The annual effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign rates which differ from those in the U.S., the realization of certain business tax credits, including foreign tax credits, and favorable permanent differences between book and tax treatment for certain items, including equity in affiliates' earnings.

(5) Inventories, net

Certain U.S. inventories are measured by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method at the lower of cost or market, while other U.S. and foreign operations use the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average-cost methods at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventories consisted of the following:

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accounts payable of $54.8 million and $85.3 million, respectively, were related to property, plant and equipment purchases.

Interest costs capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $14.2 million and $10.4 million, respectively.

(7) Product Warranty

The Company provides warranties on some, but not all, of its products. The warranty terms are typically from one to three years. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature,

frequency and average cost of warranty claim settlements as well as product manufacturing and industry developments and recoveries from third parties. Management actively studies trends of warranty claims and takes action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. Management believes that the warranty accrual is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the accrual.

The following table summarizes the activity in the product warranty accrual accounts:

In July 2016, the Company terminated interest rate swaps which had the effect of converting $384 million of fixed rate notes to variable rates. The gain on the termination is being amortized into interest expense over the remaining terms of the notes. The value related to these swap terminations as of September 30, 2017 was $3.2 million and $0.9 million on the 4.625% and 8.00% notes, respectively, as an increase to the notes. The value of these interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2016 was $3.9 million and $1.3 million on the 4.625% and 8.00% notes, respectively, as an increase to the notes.

The Company terminated fixed to floating interest rate swaps in 2009. The gain on the termination is being amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the notes. The value related to these swap terminations at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $3.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively, on the 8.00% notes as an increase to the notes.

The weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was 2.2% and 2.3%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all borrowings outstanding, including the effects of outstanding swaps, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was 3.7% and 3.8%, respectively.

On June 29, 2017, the Company amended and extended its $1 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility (which included a feature that allowed the Company's borrowings to be increased to $1.25 billion) to a $1.2 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility (which includes a feature that allows the Company's borrowings to be increased to $1.5 billion). The facility provides for borrowings through June 29, 2022. The Company has one key financial covenant as part of the credit agreement which is a debt to EBITDA ("Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization") ratio. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenant at September 30, 2017 and expects to remain compliant in future periods. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

The Company's commercial paper program allows the Company to issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding, which increased from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion effective July 26, 2017. Under this program, the Company may issue notes from time to time and will use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $200.0 million and $50.8 million, respectively, under this program, which is classified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Notes payable and other short-term debt.

The total current combined borrowing capacity under the multi-currency revolving credit facility and commercial paper program cannot exceed $1.2 billion.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the estimated fair values of the Company’s senior unsecured notes totaled $2,185.3 million and $2,081.4 million, respectively. The estimated fair values were $101.7 million and $62.0 million higher than their carrying value at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Fair market values of the senior unsecured notes are developed using observable values for similar debt instruments, which are considered Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC Topic 820. The carrying values of the Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility and commercial paper program approximates fair value. The fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the current markets.

The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $31.5 million and $32.3 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The letters of credit typically act as guarantees of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.

(9) Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as follows:

Level 1:
Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2:
Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC Topic 820:

A.
Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business.
B.
Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
C.
Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).

(10) Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and marketable securities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, their book value approximates their fair value. The Company’s financial instruments may include long-term debt, interest rate and cross-currency swaps, commodity derivative contracts and foreign currency derivative contracts. All derivative contracts are placed with counterparties that have an S&P, or equivalent, investment grade credit rating at the time of the contracts’ placement. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no derivative contracts that contained credit risk related contingent features.

The Company uses certain commodity derivative contracts to protect against commodity price changes related to forecasted raw material and supplies purchases. The Company primarily utilizes forward and option contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the following commodity derivative contracts were outstanding:

The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing its exposure to fixed and variable rates while attempting to optimize its interest costs. The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market value risk associated with changes in interest rates (fair value hedges). At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no outstanding interest rate swaps.

The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to protect against exchange rate movements for forecasted cash flows (cash flow hedges), remeasurement exposures that affect earnings (non-designated hedges), and exposures associated with the Company’s net investments in certain foreign operations (net investment hedges). Forecasted cash flows may include capital expenditures, inventory purchases, operating expenses or sales transactions designated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit. The Company has also designated its Euro-denominated debt as a net investment hedge of the Company's investment in a European subsidiary.

Effectiveness for cash flow and net investment hedges is assessed at the inception of the hedging relationship and quarterly, thereafter. To the extent that derivative instruments are deemed to be effective, gains and losses arising from these contracts are deferred into accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and reclassified into income as the underlying operating transactions are recognized. These realized gains or losses offset the hedged transaction and are recorded on the same line in the statement of operations. To the extent that derivative instruments are deemed to be ineffective, gains or losses are recognized into income.

The table below shows deferred gains (losses) reported in AOCI as well as the amount expected to be reclassified to income in one year or less. The amount expected to be reclassified to income in one year or less assumes no change in the current relationship of the hedged item at September 30, 2017 market rates.

(12) Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan ("2004 Plan"), the Company granted options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at the fair market value on the date of grant. The options vested over periods of up to three years and have a term of 10 years from date of grant. At its November 2007 meeting, the Company's Compensation Committee decided that restricted common stock awards and stock units ("restricted stock") would be awarded in place of stock options for long-term incentive award grants to employees. Restricted stock granted to employees primarily vests 50% after two years and the remainder after three years from the date of grant. Restricted stock granted to non-employee directors generally vests on the first anniversary date of the grant. In February 2014, the Company's Board of Directors replaced the expired 2004 Plan by adopting the BorgWarner Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan ("2014 Plan"). On April 30, 2014, the Company's stockholders approved the 2014 Plan. Under the 2014 Plan, 8 million shares are authorized for grant, of which approximately 4.8 million shares are available for future issuance as of September 30, 2017.

Stock options A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is as follows. As of March 31, 2017, there were no outstanding stock options.

Restricted stock The value of restricted stock is determined by the market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. In the first nine months of 2017, restricted stock in the amount of 776,753 shares and 26,919 shares were granted to employees and non-employee directors, respectively. The value of the awards is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the restriction periods. As of September 30, 2017, there was $34.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

The Company recorded restricted stock compensation expense of $6.7 million and $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $20.2 million and $19.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Total Shareholder Return Performance Share Plans The 2004 and 2014 Plans provide for awarding of performance shares to members of senior management at the end of successive three-year periods based on the Company's performance in terms of total shareholder return relative to a peer group of automotive companies. The Company recorded compensation expense of $2.2 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $7.6 million and $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
Relative Revenue Growth Performance Share Plans In the second quarter of 2016, the Company started a new performance share program to reward members of senior management based on the Company's performance in terms of revenue growth relative to the vehicle market over three-year performance periods. The Company recorded compensation expense of $2.3 million and income of $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and no expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

(14)  Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims, general liability and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. The Company's environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. The Company's management does not expect that an adverse outcome in any of these commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows, although it could be material to the results of operations in a particular quarter.

Environmental

The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may presently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 27 such sites. Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.

The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Generally, this is because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not material or the liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.

Based on information available to the Company (which in most cases includes: an estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public companies, will fully pay the cost apportioned to them; currently available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimated remediation and consulting costs; and remediation alternatives), the Company has an accrual for indicated environmental liabilities of $6.9 million and $6.3 million at September 30, 2017 and at December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company expects to pay out substantially all of the amounts accrued for environmental liability over the next five years.

In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation (“Kuhlman Electric”), a former indirect subsidiary, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer and Kuhlman Electric against certain environmental liabilities relating to certain operations of Kuhlman Electric that pre-date the Company’s 1999 acquisition of Kuhlman Electric. Kuhlman Electric was sued by plaintiffs alleging personal injuries purportedly arising from contamination at Kuhlman Electric’s Crystal Springs, Mississippi facility. The Company understands that Kuhlman Electric was required by regulatory officials to remediate such contamination.  Kuhlman Electric and its new owner tendered the personal injury lawsuits and regulatory demands to the Company. After the Company made certain payments to the plaintiffs and undertook certain remediation on Kuhlman Electric’s behalf, litigation regarding the validity of the indemnity ensued. The underlying personal injury lawsuits and indemnity litigation now have been fully resolved. The Company continues to pursue litigation against Kuhlman Electric’s historical insurers for reimbursement of amounts it paid on behalf of Kuhlman Electric under the indemnity. The Company may in the future become subject to further legal proceedings relating to these matters.

Asbestos-related Liability

Like many other industrial companies that have historically operated in the United States, the Company, or parties that the Company is obligated to indemnify, continues to be named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions.  We believe that the Company’s involvement is limited because

20

these claims generally relate to a few types of automotive products that were manufactured over thirty years ago and contained encapsulated asbestos.  The nature of the fibers, the encapsulation of the asbestos, and the manner of the products’ use all lead the Company to believe that these products were and are highly unlikely to cause harm.  Furthermore, the useful life of nearly all of these products expired many years ago. 

The Company’s asbestos-related claims activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

It is probable that additional asbestos-related claims will be asserted against the Company in the future.  The Company vigorously defends against these claims, and has obtained the dismissal of the majority of the claims asserted against it without any payment.  The Company likewise expects that no payment will be made by the Company or its insurers in the vast majority of current and future asbestos-related claims in which it has been or will be named (or has an obligation to indemnify a party which has been or will be named).

Through September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had accrued and paid $518.6 million and $477.7 million, respectively, in indemnity (including settlement payments) and defense costs in connection with asbestos-related claims. These gross payments are before tax benefits and any insurance receipts. Indemnity and defense costs are incorporated into the Company's operating cash flows and will continue to be in the future.

The Company reviews, on an ongoing basis, its own experience in handling asbestos-related claims and trends affecting asbestos-related claims in the U.S. tort system generally, for the purposes of assessing the value of pending asbestos-related claims and the number and value of those that may be asserted in the future, as well as potential recoveries from the Company’s insurers with respect to such claims and defense costs. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company determined that a reasonable estimate of its liability for asbestos claims not yet asserted could be made, and the Company increased its aggregate estimated liability for asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved and potential asbestos-related claims not yet asserted to $879.3 million as of December 31, 2016. The Company's estimate is not discounted to present value and includes an estimate of liability for potential future claims not yet asserted through December 31, 2059 with a runoff through 2067. The Company currently believes that December 31, 2067 is a reasonable assumption as to the last date on which it is likely to have resolved all asbestos-related claims, based on the nature and useful life of the Company’s products and the likelihood of incidence of asbestos-related disease in the U.S. population generally. As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s reasonable best estimate of the aggregate liability for both asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved and potential asbestos-related claims not yet asserted, including estimated defense costs, is as follows:

The Company’s estimate of its aggregate liability for asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved and potential asbestos-related claims not yet asserted was developed with the assistance of a third-party

21
Table of Contents

consultant. In developing such estimate, the third-party consultant projected a potential number of future claims based on the Company’s historical claim filings and patterns and compared that to anticipated levels of unique plaintiff asbestos-related claims asserted in the U.S. tort system against all defendants.  The consultant also utilized assumptions based on the Company’s historical proportion of claims resolved without payment, historical settlement costs for those claims that result in a payment, and historical defense costs.  The liabilities were then estimated by multiplying the pending and projected future claim filings by projected payments rates and average settlement amounts and then adding an estimate for defense costs.

The Company’s estimate of the indemnity and defense costs for asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved and potential claims not yet asserted is its reasonable best estimate of such costs. Such estimate is subject to numerous uncertainties.  These include future legislative or judicial changes affecting the U.S. tort system, bankruptcy proceedings involving one or more co-defendants, the impact and timing of payments from bankruptcy trusts that presently exist and those that may exist in the future, disease emergence and associated claim filings, the impact of future settlements or significant judgments, changes in the medical condition of claimants, changes in the treatment of asbestos-related disease, and any changes in settlement or defense strategies. The balances recorded for asbestos-related claims are based on best available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, including as to the number of future claims that may be asserted, the percentage of claims that may result in a payment, the average cost to resolve such claims, and potential defense costs. The Company concluded that it is reasonably possible that it may incur additional losses through 2067 for asbestos-related claims, in addition to amounts recorded, of up to approximately $100.0 million as of September 30, 2017. The various assumptions utilized in arriving at the Company’s estimate may also change over time, and the Company’s actual liability for asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved and those not yet asserted may be higher or lower than the Company’s estimate as a result of such changes.

The Company has certain insurance coverage applicable to asbestos-related claims.  Prior to June 2004, the settlement and defense costs associated with all asbestos-related claims were paid by the Company's primary layer insurance carriers under a series of interim funding arrangements. In June 2004, primary layer insurance carriers notified the Company of the alleged exhaustion of their policy limits.  A declaratory judgment action was filed in January 2004 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois by Continental Casualty Company and related companies against the Company and certain of its historical general liability insurers.  The Cook County court has issued a number of interim rulings and discovery is continuing in this proceeding. The Company is vigorously pursuing the litigation against all carriers that are parties to it, as well as pursuing settlement discussions with its carriers where appropriate.  The Company has entered into settlement agreements with certain of its insurance carriers, resolving such insurance carriers’ coverage disputes through the carriers’ agreement to pay specified amounts to the Company, either immediately or over a specified period. Through September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had received $270.0 million in cash and notes from insurers on account of indemnity and defense costs respecting asbestos-related claims.

The Company continues to have additional excess insurance coverage available for potential future asbestos-related claims. The Company also reviews the amount of its unresolved, unexhausted excess insurance coverage for asbestos-related claims, taking into account the remaining limits of such coverage, the number and amount of claims from co-insured parties, the ongoing litigation against the Company’s insurers described above, potential remaining recoveries from insolvent insurers, the impact of previous insurance settlements, and coverage available from solvent insurers not party to the coverage litigation.    Based on that review, the Company has estimated that as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 that it has $386.4 million in aggregate insurance coverage available with respect to asbestos-related claims already satisfied by the Company but not yet reimbursed by the insurers, asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved, and asbestos-related claims not yet asserted, in each case together with their associated defense costs. In each case, such amounts are expected to be fully recovered. However, the resolution of the insurance coverage litigation, and the number and amount of claims on our insurance from co-insured

(15) Restructuring

In the third quarter of 2017, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $12.6 million, primarily due to the initiation of actions within its emissions business in the Engine segment designed to improve future profitability and competitiveness. The Company plans to explore strategic options for non-core product lines to improve the overall competitiveness of its remaining European emissions business in the Engine segment. These actions may result in the recognition of impairment or additional restructuring charges that could be material.

On September 27, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Sevcon. In connection with this transaction, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2017, primarily related to contractually required severance associated with Sevcon executive officers. Cash payments for these restructuring activities are expected to be completed by Q1 2018.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company initiated actions primarily in the Drivetrain segment designed to improve future profitability and competitiveness. As a continuation of these actions, the Company finalized severance agreements with three labor unions at separate facilities in Western Europe for approximately 450 employees. The Company recorded restructuring expense related to these facilities of $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which included employee termination benefits of $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Additionally, the Company recorded other restructuring expense of $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company initiated actions to improve the future profitability and competitiveness of Gustav Wahler GmbH u. Co. KG and its general partner ("Wahler"). The Company recorded restructuring expense related to Wahler of $9.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which included employee termination benefits of $4.1 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Remy. As a result of actions following this transaction, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $1.3 million and $6.1 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Included in this restructuring expense is $3.1 million related to winding down certain operations in North America in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Additionally, the Company recorded employee termination benefits of $0.3 million and $2.0 million primarily related to contractually required severance associated with Remy executive officers and other employee termination benefits in Mexico in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Cash payments for these restructuring activities are expected to be complete by the end of 2017.

Table of Contents

Estimates of restructuring expense are based on information available at the time such charges are recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring expenses, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded. Accordingly, the Company may record revisions of previous estimates by adjusting previously established accruals.

The following tables display a rollforward of the severance accruals recorded within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the related cash flow activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

(16) Earnings Per Share

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc. by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc. by the weighted average shares of common stock and common equivalent stock outstanding during the reporting period.

The dilutive impact of stock-based compensation is calculated using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes that the Company uses the assumed proceeds from the exercise of awards to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The assumed proceeds under

24
Table of Contents

the treasury stock method include the purchase price that the grantee will pay in the future and compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized. Options are only dilutive when the average market price of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock:

(17) Reporting Segments

The Company's business is comprised of two reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain. These segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents a specific grouping of related automotive components and systems.

The Company allocates resources to each segment based upon the projected after-tax return on invested capital ("ROIC") of its business initiatives. ROIC is comprised of Adjusted EBIT after deducting notional taxes compared to the projected average capital investment required. Adjusted EBIT is comprised of earnings before interest, income taxes and noncontrolling interest (“EBIT") adjusted for restructuring, goodwill impairment charges, affiliates' earnings and other items not reflective of on-going operating income or loss.

Adjusted EBIT is the measure of segment income or loss used by the Company. The Company believes Adjusted EBIT is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our reporting segments. The following tables show segment information and Adjusted EBIT for the Company's reporting segments.

(18) New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)." It expands and refines hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and reduces complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. It eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. It also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from assessment of hedge effectiveness. The guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the guidance and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Scope of Modification Accounting." Under this guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification

26
Table of Contents

of the share-based payment award changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have any impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." It requires disaggregating the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost, provides explicit guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization when applicable. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." It eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This guidance is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company plans to early adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2017 in conjunction with the annual goodwill impairment test. The Company does not expect this guidance to have any impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business." It revises the definition of a business and provides a framework to evaluate when an input and a substantive process are present in an acquisition to be considered a business. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect this guidance to have any impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Restricted Cash." It requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." It provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how they are classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." Under this guidance, the areas of simplification involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, impact on earnings per share and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Upon adopting this guidance in the first nine months of 2017, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.8 million within provision for income tax related to the excess tax benefit on share-based awards and reflected the excess tax benefit in operating activities rather than financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company elected to apply this change in presentation prospectively and thus prior periods have not been adjusted. The Company also excluded the excess tax benefits from the assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The impact of this change was de minimis. Additionally, the Company elected

27
Table of Contents

not to change its policy on accounting for forfeitures and continued to estimate the total number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." Under this guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases defined under previous GAAP. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." It requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. It also requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company expects to elect the measurement alternative for equity investments without readily determinable fair values and does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB amended the Accounting Standards Codification to add Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," outlining a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and superseding the most current revenue recognition guidance. 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 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has continued to monitor FASB activity related to the new standard, and has worked with various non-authoritative industry groups to assess certain interpretative issues and the associated implementation of the new standard. Based on this, the Company does not expect any changes to how it accounts for reimbursable pre-production costs, currently accounted for as a cost reduction. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of the new guidance on its contracts and customer arrangements related to our highly customized products with no alternative use and for which the Company has an enforceable right to payment. The new guidance may require revenue to be recognized over time as the parts are being produced rather than upon shipment or delivery of the parts. In addition, the Company is assessing the impact of pricing provisions contained in some of our contracts and customer arrangements which may represent variable consideration or provide the customer with a material right. Additional work needs to be completed in order to finalize the conclusion of the impact of pricing structures. During 2017, based on the Company’s assessment of existing contracts and revenue streams, the Company has refined its internal policy to include criteria for evaluating the impact of the new standard on the amounts and timing of revenue recognition. Further, the Company is in the process of implementing appropriate refinements to the business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard later in the fourth quarter of 2017 which will allow the Company to obtain the information necessary to determine the cumulative effect adjustment to be recorded upon adoption of this guidance. Training of employees on the impacts of the standard and refinements to our processes, systems and controls will continue throughout 2017. The Company expects to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2018 utilizing the Modified Retrospective approach and is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

(19) Recent Transactions

On September 27, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Sevcon for cash of $185.7 million. This amount includes $26.6 million paid to settle outstanding debt and $5.1 million paid in October 2017 for Sevcon stock-based awards attributable to pre combination services.

Table of Contents


Sevcon is a global player in electrification technologies, serving customers in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Italy, China and the Asia Pacific region. Sevcon complements BorgWarner’s power electronics capabilities utilized to provide electrified propulsion solutions.

Sevcon's assets are reported within the Company's Drivetrain reporting segment as of the date of the acquisition. Sevcon's operating results from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2017 were insignificant. The Company paid $180.6 million in September 2017, which is reported as an investing activity in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company capitalized $19.0 million for customer relationships, $37.9 million for developed technology and $4.2 million for the Sevcon trade name. These intangible assets, excluding the indefinite-lived trade name, will be amortized over a period of 7 to 20 years. Various valuation techniques were used to determine the fair value of the intangible assets, with the primary techniques being forms of the income approach, specifically, the relief-from-royalty and excess earnings valuation methods, which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the fair value hierarchy. Under these valuation approaches, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates based on budgets, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. Due to the nature of the transaction, goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company is in the process of finalizing all purchase accounting adjustments related to the acquisition. Certain estimated values for the acquisition, including goodwill, intangible assets and deferred taxes are not yet finalized, and the preliminary purchase price allocations are subject to change as the Company completes its analysis of the fair value at the date of acquisition.

Due to its insignificant size relative to the Company, supplemental pro forma financial information of the combined entity for the current and prior reporting period is not provided.

Sevcon's operating results from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2017 were insignificant.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $2,416.2 million, a 9.1% increase from the three months ended September 30, 2016. Excluding the impact of the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business divestiture and strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 10.8%.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 78.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 78.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2016. Gross profit and gross margin were $522.7 million and 21.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $471.1 million and 21.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2016. The Company's material cost of sales was approximately 55% of net sales in both the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The Company's remaining cost to convert raw material to finished product (conversion cost) slightly decreased due to improved productivity compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $15.1 million to $224.8 million from $209.7 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 9.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, down from 9.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. R&D expenses, which are included in SG&A expenses, increased $12.9 million to $101.5 million from $88.6 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. As a percentage of net sales, R&D expenses were 4.2% and 4.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our continued investment in a number of cross-business R&D programs, as well as other key programs, is necessary for the Company’s short- and long-term growth.

Other expense, net of $22.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 includes $13.3 million of restructuring expense primarily related to initiation of actions within its emissions business in the Engine segment designed to improve future profitability and competitiveness and $6.4 million of merger

and acquisition expenses in connection with the acquisition of Sevcon. Other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $111.1 million including $106.5 million to adjust the net book value of the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business, based on the anticipated sale price, as it met the held for sale criteria during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The Company sold the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business for approximately $80 million in cash in the fourth quarter of 2016. Additionally, the Company recorded $1.3 million of restructuring expense associated with both the Drivetrain and Engine segments and $5.9 million related to transition and realignment expenses and other professional fees associated with the November 2015 acquisition of Remy.

Equity in affiliates’ earnings of $14.4 million increased $2.0 million as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to higher earnings from the Company's 50% interest in NSK-Warner as a result of improved business conditions in Asia.

Interest expense and finance charges of $17.6 million decreased $4.8 million as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to the reduction in senior notes and increase in capitalized interest.

At September 30, 2017, the Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months was 28.2%. This rate includes respective tax benefits of $1.2 million, $0.3 million, and $11.7 million which are associated with restructuring expense, merger and acquisition expense, and one-time tax adjustments that primarily resulted from tax audit settlements. Excluding the impact of these non-comparable items, the Company has estimated its annual effective tax rate associated with ongoing operations to be approximately 29% for the year ending December 31, 2017.

At September 30, 2016, the Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months was 32.6%. This rate includes tax benefits of $27.6 million and $5.9 million related to asset impairment and restructuring expense, respectively as discussed in the Other Expense, net footnote to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and $3.7 million related to other one-time tax adjustments, as well as a tax expense of $2.2 million related to a gain associated with the release of certain Remy light vehicle aftermarket liabilities due to the expiration of a customer contract. Excluding the impact of these non-comparable items, the Company had estimated its annual effective tax rate associated with ongoing operations to be approximately 31% for the year ending December 31, 2016.

The Company’s earnings per diluted share were $0.88 and $0.39 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company believes the following table is useful in highlighting non-comparable items that impacted its earnings per diluted share.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $7,212.9 million, a 5.9% increase from the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Excluding the impact of the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business divestiture and weakening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro and Chinese Renminbi, net sales increased approximately 10.4%.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 78.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 79.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Gross profit and gross margin were $1,554.2 million and 21.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1,432.1 million and 21.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company's material cost of sales was approximately 55% of net sales in both the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The Company's remaining cost to convert raw material to finished product (conversion cost) slightly decreased due to improved productivity compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $58.2 million to $658.6 million from $600.4 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 9.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, up from 8.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to higher R&D expenses, stock-based compensation and other employee costs. R&D expenses, which are included in SG&A expenses, increased $43.9 million to $302.8 million from $258.9 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As a percentage of net sales, R&D expenses were 4.2% and 3.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our continued investment in a number of cross-business R&D programs, as well as other key programs, is necessary for the Company’s short- and long-term growth.

Other expense, net of $27.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes $13.3 million of restructuring expense primarily related to initiation of actions within its emissions business in the Engine segment designed to improve future profitability and competitiveness, $6.4 million of merger and acquisition expenses associated with the acquisition of Sevcon, and a loss of $5.3 million related to the termination of a long term property lease for a manufacturing facility located in Europe. Other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $147.8 million including $106.5 million to adjust the net book value of the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business to fair value, based on the anticipated sale price, as it met the held for sale criteria during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company sold the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business for approximately $80 million in cash in the fourth quarter of 2016. Other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 also includes $26.9 million of restructuring expense associated with both the Drivetrain and Engine segments and $18.9 million related to transition and realignment expenses and other professional fees associated with the November 2015 acquisition of Remy.

Equity in affiliates’ earnings of $38.5 million increased $6.9 million as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to higher earnings from the Company's 50% interest in NSK-Warner as a result of improved business conditions in Asia.

Interest expense and finance charges of $53.6 million decreased $11.5 million as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to the reduction in average outstanding short term borrowings and senior notes and increase in capitalized interest.

At September 30, 2017, the Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months was 28.2%. This rate includes respective tax benefits of $1.2 million, $0.3 million, and $11.7 million which are associated with restructuring expense, merger and acquisition expense, and one-time tax adjustments that primarily resulted from tax audit settlements. Excluding the impact of these non-comparable items, the Company has estimated its annual effective tax rate associated with ongoing operations to be approximately 29% for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Emissions Business Restructuring

In the third quarter of 2017, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $12.6 million, primarily due to the initiation of actions within its emissions business in the Engine segment designed to improve future profitability and competitiveness. The Company plans to explore strategic options for non-core product lines to improve the overall competitiveness of its remaining European emissions business in the Engine segment. These actions may result in the recognition of impairment or additional restructuring charges that could be material.

Reporting Segments

The Company's business is comprised of two reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain. These segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents a specific grouping of related automotive components and systems.

The Company allocates resources to each segment based upon the projected after-tax return on invested capital ("ROIC") of its business initiatives. ROIC is comprised of Adjusted EBIT after deducting notional taxes compared to the projected average capital investment required. Adjusted EBIT is comprised of earnings before interest, income taxes and noncontrolling interest (“EBIT") adjusted for restructuring, goodwill impairment charges, affiliates' earnings and other items not reflective of on-going operating income or loss.

Adjusted EBIT is the measure of segment income or loss used by the Company. The Company believes Adjusted EBIT is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our reporting segments. The following tables show segment information and Adjusted EBIT for the Company's reporting segments.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

The Engine segment net sales increased $147.1 million, or 10.8%, from the three months ended September 30, 2016. Excluding the impact of strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 8.7% from the three months ended September 30, 2016, due to higher sales of light vehicle turbochargers, thermal products and engine timing systems, including variable cam timing. The Engine segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 15.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2017 down from 16.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to operational inefficiencies in the Company's emissions business.

The Drivetrain segment net sales increased $55.9 million, or 6.5%, from the three months ended September 30, 2016. Excluding the impact of the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business divestiture and strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 14.4% from the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to higher sales of all-wheel drive systems and transmission components. The Drivetrain segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 12.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2017 up from 10.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to the sale of the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business and conversion on higher sales.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

The Engine segment net sales increased $280.9 million, or 6.7%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Excluding the impact of weakening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro and Chinese Renminbi, net sales increased approximately 7.5% from the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due to higher sales of light vehicle turbochargers, thermal products, and engine timing systems, including variable cam timing. The Engine segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 16.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 down from 16.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to operational inefficiencies in the Company's emissions business.

The Drivetrain segment net sales increased $127.2 million, or 4.8%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Excluding the impact of the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business divestiture and weakening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro and Chinese Renminbi, net sales increased approximately 15.6% from the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to higher sales of all-wheel drive systems and transmission components. The Drivetrain segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 11.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 up from 10.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to the sale of the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business and conversion on higher sales.

Outlook for 2017

Our overall outlook for 2017 is positive.  Net new business-related sales growth, due to increased penetration of BorgWarner products around the world, is expected to drive growth above the modest global industry production growth expected in 2017.

The Company maintains a positive long-term outlook for its global business and is committed to new product development and strategic capital investments to enhance its product leadership strategy. The several trends that are driving our long-term growth are expected to continue, including the increased turbocharger adoption in North America and Asia, the increased adoption of automated transmissions in Europe and Asia-Pacific, and the move to variable cam and chain engine timing systems in Europe and Asia-Pacific.  Our long-term growth is also expected to benefit from the adoption of product offerings for hybrid and electric vehicles.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

The Company maintains various liquidity sources including cash and cash equivalents and the unused portion of our multi-currency revolving credit agreement. At September 30, 2017, the Company had $414.3 million of cash, of which $407.6 million of cash is held by our subsidiaries outside of the United States. Cash held by these subsidiaries is used to fund foreign operational activities and future investments, including acquisitions. The vast majority of cash held outside the United States is available for repatriation, however, doing so could result in increased foreign and U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. A deferred tax liability has been recorded for the portion of these funds anticipated to be repatriated to the United States. The Company uses its U.S. liquidity primarily for various corporate purposes, including but not limited to, debt service, share repurchases, dividend distributions and other corporate expenses.

On June 29, 2017, the Company amended and extended its $1 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility (which included a feature that allowed the Company's borrowings to be increased to $1.25 billion) to a $1.2 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility (which includes a feature that allows the Company's borrowings to be increased to $1.5 billion). The facility provides for borrowings through June 29, 2022. The Company has one key financial covenant as part of the credit agreement which is a debt to EBITDA ("Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization") ratio. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenant at September 30, 2017 and expects to remain compliant in future periods. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

Table of Contents

The Company's commercial paper program allows the Company to issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding, which increased from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion effective July 26, 2017. Under this program, the Company may issue notes from time to time and will use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $200.0 million and $50.8 million, respectively, under this program, which is classified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Notes payable and other short-term debt.

The total current combined borrowing capacity under the multi-currency revolving credit facility and commercial paper program cannot exceed $1.2 billion.

In addition to the credit facility, the Company's universal shelf registration has an unlimited amount of various debt and equity instruments that could be issued.

On February 08, 2017, April 26, 2017, and July 26, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.14 per share of common stock. These dividends were paid on March 15, 2017, June 15, 2017, and September 15, 2017.

The Company's net debt to net capital ratio was 33.6% at September 30, 2017 versus 35.0% at December 31, 2016.

The Company has a credit rating of BBB+ from both Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings and Baa1 from Moody's. The current outlook from Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings is stable. During 2016, Moody's revised its outlook from stable to negative. None of the Company’s debt agreements require accelerated repayment in the event of a downgrade in credit ratings.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $30.8 million to $623.9 million in the first nine months of 2017 from $593.1 million in the first nine months of 2016. The $30.8 million increase primarily reflects higher net earnings adjusted for non-cash charges to operations, offset by changes in working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $228.3 million to $570.7 million in the first nine months of 2017 from $342.4 million in the first nine months of 2016. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Sevcon and higher capital expenditures, including tooling outlays.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $203.9 million to $106.2 million in the first nine months of 2017 from $310.1 million in the first nine months of 2016. This decrease is primarily driven by lower Company stock purchases and higher short term borrowings.

We believe that the combination of cash from operations, cash balances, available credit facilities, and the universal shelf registration capacity will be sufficient to satisfy our cash needs for our current level of operations, our planned operations for the foreseeable future and our current share repurchase program. We will continue to balance our needs for internal growth, external growth, the return of capital to stockholders, debt reduction and cash conservation.


CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims, general liability and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. The Company's environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. The Company's management does not expect that an adverse outcome in any of these commercial and legal

36
Table of Contents

claims, actions and complaints will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows, although it could be material to the results of operations in a particular quarter.

Environmental

The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may presently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 27 such sites. Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.

The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Generally, this is because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not material or the liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.

See Note 14 - Contingencies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details and information respecting the Company’s environmental liability.

Asbestos-related Liability

Like many other industrial companies that have historically operated in the United States, the Company, or parties the Company is obligated to indemnify, continues to be named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions.  The Company has an estimated liability of $838.3 million as of September 30, 2017 for asbestos-related claims and associated costs through 2067, which is the last date by which the Company currently estimates it is likely to have resolved all asbestos-related claims. The Company additionally estimates that, as of September 30, 2017, it has aggregate insurance coverage available in the amount of $386.4 million to satisfy asbestos-related claims already satisfied by the Company but not yet reimbursed by insurers, asbestos-related claims asserted but not yet resolved, and asbestos-related claims not yet asserted, as well as defense costs associated with each.  See Note 14 - Contingencies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details and information respecting the Company’s asbestos-related liability and corresponding insurance asset.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this Form 10-Q (including Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) may contain forward-looking statements as contemplated by the 1995 Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (the “Act”) that are based on management's current outlook, expectations, estimates and projections. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "continues," "could," "designed," "effect," "estimates," "evaluates," "expects," "forecasts," "goal," "initiative," "intends," "outlook," "plans," "potential," "project," "pursue," "seek," "should," "target," "when," "would," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q, that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future regarding our financial position, business strategy and measures to implement that strategy, including changes to operations, competitive strengths, goals,

37
Table of Contents

expansion and growth of our business and operations, plans, references to future success and other such matters, are forward-looking statements. Accounting estimates, such as those described under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies" in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, are inherently forward-looking. These statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and the Company's actual results may differ materially from those expressed, projected or implied in or by the forward-looking statements.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Such risks and uncertainties include: fluctuations in domestic or foreign vehicle production; the continued use by original equipment manufacturers of outside suppliers, the ability to achieve anticipated benefits from, and to successfully integrate, acquisitions, fluctuations in demand for vehicles containing our products; changes in general economic conditions; and the other risks noted under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and in other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake any obligation to update or announce publicly any updates to or revision to any of the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions, circumstances, or assumptions underlying the statements.

This section and the discussions contained in Item 1A, "Risk Factors," and in Item 7, subheading "Critical Accounting Policies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, are intended to provide meaningful cautionary statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of the Act. This should not be construed as a complete list of all of the economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors that could adversely affect our expected consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business, operations, liquidity, financial condition and prospects.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), this report includes non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in understanding the underlying performance and trends of the Company. Readers should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and should be cautious with respect to the use of such measures. To compensate for these limitations, we use non-GAAP measures as comparative tools, together with GAAP measures, to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance or financial condition. We ensure that these measures are calculated using the appropriate GAAP or regulatory components in their entirety and that they are computed in a manner intended to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. The Company's method of calculating these non-GAAP measures may differ from methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for those financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP or in-effect regulatory requirements. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, can be found in this report.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the information concerning our exposures to interest rate risk or commodity price risk as stated in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.


38
Table of Contents

Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Currently, our most significant currency exposures relate to the British Pound, the Chinese Renminbi, the Euro, the Hungarian Forint, the Japanese Yen, the Mexican Peso, the Swedish Krona and the South Korean Won. We mitigate our foreign currency exchange rate risk by establishing local production facilities and related supply chain participants in the markets we serve, by invoicing customers in the same currency as the source of the products and by funding some of our investments in foreign markets through local currency loans. We also monitor our foreign currency exposure in each country and implement strategies to respond to changing economic and political environments. The depreciation of the British Pound post the United Kingdom's 2016 vote to leave the European Union is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company since net sales from the United Kingdom represent less than 2% of the Company's net sales in 2016. In addition, the Company periodically enters into forward currency contracts in order to reduce exposure to exchange rate risk related to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

The foreign currency translation adjustment gain of $64.2 million and $186.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and the foreign currency translation gain of $27.9 million and $41.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 contained within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) represent the foreign currency translational impacts of converting our non-U.S. dollar subsidiaries' financial statements to the Company’s reporting currency (U.S. Dollar). The foreign currency translation adjustment gain of $64.2 million and $186.6 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the impact of a weakening U.S. dollar against the Euro, which decreased approximately 4% and 13% since June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The foreign currency translation adjustment gain of $27.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to the impact of a weakening U.S. dollar against the Euro, Korean Won, and Japanese Yen. The first nine months of 2016 foreign currency translation adjustment gain of $41.8 million was primarily due to the impact of the weakening U.S. dollar against the Euro, Korean Won, and Japanese Yen, partially offset by a strengthening U.S. dollar against British Pound and Chinese Renminbi.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to a number of claims and judicial and administrative proceedings (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the Company’s business or relating to matters for which the Company may have a contractual indemnity obligation. See Note 14 — Contingencies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of environmental, asbestos-related liability and other litigation, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $1.0 billion of the Company's common stock over three years and authorized the purchase of up to 79.6 million shares in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had repurchased 69,742,810 shares in the aggregate under the Common Stock Repurchase Program. All shares purchased under this authorization have been and will continue to be repurchased in the open market at prevailing prices and at times and in amounts to be determined by management as market conditions and the Company's capital position warrant. The Company may use Rule 10b5-1 and 10b-18 plans to facilitate share repurchases. Repurchased shares will be deemed common stock held in treasury and may subsequently be reissued for general corporate purposes.

Employee transactions include restricted shares withheld to offset statutory minimum tax withholding that occurs upon vesting of restricted shares. The BorgWarner Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and the BorgWarner Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan provide that the withholding obligations be settled by the Company retaining stock that is part of the Award. Withheld shares will be deemed common stock held in treasury and may subsequently be reissued for general corporate purposes.

The following table provides information about the Company's purchases of its equity securities that are registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended September 30, 2017:
