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 presentation of results have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 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, 2011.
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.
The Company retrospectively adopted the amendment to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income," which requires companies to separately disclose reclassifications from other comprehensive income into net income on the face of the financial statements. Prior year balances within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income conform to this requirement.
(2) Research and Development
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:
|
| | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
(millions of dollars) | 2012 | | 2011 |
Gross R&D expenditures | $ | 76.2 |
| | $ | 69.1 |
|
Customer reimbursements | (8.5 | ) | | (8.1 | ) |
Net R&D expenditures | $ | 67.7 |
| | $ | 61.0 |
|
The Company has contracts with several customers at the Company's various R&D locations. No such contract exceeded 5% of annual net R&D expenditures in any of the periods presented.
(3) 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 March 31, 2012, the Company's annual effective tax rate is estimated to be 26%. The Company's annual effective tax rate was estimated to be 24% at March 31, 2011. These 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. The estimated annual effective tax rate for 2012 is higher than the estimated annual effective tax rate for 2011 primarily due to the Company's increased profitability in higher taxed jurisdictions.
(4) Inventories, net
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of U.S. inventories is determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method, while the operations outside the U.S. use the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average-cost methods. Inventories consisted of the following:
|
| | | | | | | |

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, accounts payable of $27.6 million and $48.9 million, respectively, were related to property, plant and equipment purchases.
Interest costs capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $4.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
(6) 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:
|

| | $ | 751.3 |
|
The weighted average interest rate on all borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was 5.7% and 5.9%, respectively.
The Company's $650 million multi-currency revolving credit facility, which includes a feature that allows the Company's borrowings to be increased to $1 billion, provides for borrowings through June 30, 2016 and is guaranteed by the Company's material domestic subsidiaries. The Company has two key financial covenants as part of the credit agreement. These covenants are a debt compared to EBITDA (“Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization”) test and an interest coverage test. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2012 and expects to remain compliant in future periods. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $170.0 million and $70.0 million, respectively, under this facility.
On April 9, 2009, the Company issued $373.8 million in convertible senior notes. Under ASC Topic 470, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)," the Company accounted for the convertible senior notes by bifurcating the instruments between its liability and equity components. The value of the debt component was based on the fair value of issuing a similar nonconvertible debt security. The value of the equity component was calculated by deducting the value of the liability from the proceeds received at issuance. The Company's March 31, 2012 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet includes current debt of $370.6 million, which was settled in April 2012, and capital in excess of par value of $36.5 million. Additionally, ASC Topic 470 requires the Company to accrete the discounted carrying value of the convertible notes to their face value over the term of the notes. The Company's interest expense associated with this amortization is based on the effective interest rate of the convertible senior notes of 9.365%. The total interest expense related to the convertible senior notes in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:
|
| | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
(millions of dollars) | 2012 | | 2011 |
Interest expense | $ | 7.6 |
| | $ | 8.0 |
|
Non-cash portion | $ | 4.4 |
| | $ | 4.8 |
|
The notes pay interest semi-annually of $6.5 million, which is at a coupon rate of 3.50% per year.
Holders of the notes could convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount. The initial conversion rate for the notes is 30.4706 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (representing an initial conversion price of approximately $32.82 per share of common stock). The conversion price represents a conversion premium of 27.50% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on April 6, 2009 of $25.74 per share. Since the Company's stock price was above the convertible senior notes conversion price of $32.82, the if-converted value was approximately $581.7 million and $352.1 million higher than the face value of the convertible senior notes at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. In conjunction with the note offering, the Company entered into a bond hedge overlay, including both warrants and call options, at a net pre-tax cost of $25.2 million, effectively raising the conversion premium to 50.0%, or approximately $38.61 per share.
Subsequent to the Balance Sheet date, in April 2012, the Company settled its convertible senior notes by delivering approximately 11.4 million shares of common stock held in treasury to the note holders, which increased the weighted average basic shares outstanding and had no impact on weighted average dilutive shares outstanding. The second quarter 2012 financial impact of this settlement will result in a reduction in the current portion of long-term debt of $373.8 million, a reduction in common stock held in treasury of $617.3 million and a reduction in capital in excess of par value of $243.5 million.
Subsequent to the Balance Sheet date, on April 16, 2012, the Company separately and concurrently settled the call option portion of the convertible note related bond hedge overlay, receiving approximately 6.5 million shares of its common stock, which reduced the weighted average basic and dilutive shares outstanding. The second quarter 2012 financial impact of this settlement will result in an increase in common stock held in treasury of $503.9 million and an increase to capital in excess of par value of $503.9 million. The Company's bond hedge overlay also includes warrants, which are scheduled to mature on October 9, 2012. The dilutive impact of these warrants is currently included in the Company's weighted average dilutive shares outstanding.
As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the estimated fair values of the Company’s senior unsecured notes totaled $1,706.5 million and $1,454.4 million, respectively. The estimated fair values were $685.5 million and $435.5 million higher at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, than their carrying values. Fair market values are developed based on Level 2 inputs, as defined by ASC Topic 820, using observable values for similar debt instruments. 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 $50.0 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The letters of credit typically act as guarantees of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.
(8) 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 and 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). |
The following table classifies the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012:

(9) 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 also include long-term debt, interest rate and cross-currency swaps, commodity derivative contracts and foreign currency derivatives. 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 March 31, 2012, the Company had no derivative contracts that contained credit risk related contingent features.
The Company selectively uses cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency exposure associated with our net investment in certain foreign operations (net investment hedges). At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the following cross-currency swaps were outstanding:

The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to protect against exchange rate movements for forecasted cash flows, including purchases, operating expenses or sales transactions designated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit. Foreign currency derivative contracts require the Company, at a future date, to either buy or sell foreign currency in exchange for the operating units’ local currency.
As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the following foreign currency derivative contracts were outstanding:

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 as defined by ASC Topic 815, gains and losses arising from these contracts are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). Such gains and losses will be reclassified into income as the underlying operating transactions are realized. Gains and losses not qualifying for deferral treatment have been credited/charged to income as they are recognized.
The table below shows deferred gains and losses at the end of the period reported in AOCI and amounts expected to be reclassified to income within the one year or less. The gain or loss expected to be reclassified to income in one year or less assumes no change in the current relationship of the hedged item at March 31, 2012 market rates.

Net investment hedges are derivative contracts entered into to hedge against changes in exchange rates that affect the overall value of net investments in foreign entities. Gains and losses on net investment hedges are recorded in AOCI and are used to offset equivalent gains or losses in the value of net investments that are recorded in translation gains and losses which is also a component of AOCI. Net investment hedges, designated under ASC Topic 815, held during the period resulted in the following gains or losses recorded in income:

Cash flow hedges are derivative contracts entered into to hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The effective portion of gains or losses exactly offset gains or losses in the underlying transaction that they were designated to hedge, and are recorded on the same line in the statement of operations. Ineffectiveness resulting from imperfect matches between changes in value of hedge contracts and changes in value of the underlying transaction are immediately recognized in income. Cash flow hedges, designated under ASC Topic 815, held during the period resulted in the following gains and losses recorded in income:

(10) Retirement Benefit Plans
The Company has a number of defined benefit pension plans and other post employment benefit plans covering eligible salaried and hourly employees and their dependents. The estimated contributions to the Company's defined benefit pension plans for 2012 range from $30 million to $40 million, of which $4.7 million has been contributed through the first three months of the year. Included in the Company's estimated 2012 contributions is $15 million related to the Company's March 24, 2010 settlement agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation regarding the closure of the Company's BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products Plant in Muncie, Indiana. The Company anticipates making the $15 million required contribution in December of 2012. The other post employment benefit plans, which provide medical and life insurance benefits, are unfunded plans.

(11) Stock-Based Compensation
Under the Company's 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (“1993 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 vest over periods up to three years and have a term of ten years from date of grant. As of December 31, 2003, there were no options available for future grants under the 1993 Plan. The 1993 Plan expired at the end of 2003 and was replaced by the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, which was amended at the Company's 2009 Annual Stockholders Meeting, among other things, to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan. Under the BorgWarner Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Stock Incentive Plan”), 12.5 million shares were authorized for grant, of which 1.9 million shares are available for future award.

Restricted stock 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 vest 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 anniversary date of the grant.
The value of restricted stock is determined by the market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. In February and March 2012, restricted stock in the amount of 326,638 shares was granted to employees under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The value of the awards is recorded as unearned compensation within capital in excess of par value in equity and is amortized as compensation expense over the restriction periods.
Restricted stock compensation expense recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows:

Performance share plans The 2004 Stock Incentive Plan provides 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. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company modified all outstanding Performance Share Award Agreements to allow for the payment of these awards entirely in the Company's common stock, rather than 40% in cash and 60% in the Company's common stock. Using the lattice model (Monte Carlo simulation) at the date of modification, the Company determined the first quarter 2012 compensation expense associated with the modification to be negligible. Within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011, prior to the modification, the Company recorded the expense associated with the 40% cash portion of the award, $10.6 million, in the changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other non-current assets and liabilities line items.
(12) 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 the results 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.
Litigation
In January 2006, BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products Inc. ("DTP"), a subsidiary of the Company, filed a declaratory judgment action in United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana (Indianapolis Division) against the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implements Workers of America (“UAW”) Local No. 287 and Gerald Poor, individually and as the representative of a defendant class. DTP sought the Court's affirmation that DTP did not violate the Labor-Management Relations Act or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by unilaterally amending certain medical plans effective April 1, 2006 and October 1, 2006, prior to the expiration of the then-current collective bargaining agreements. On September 10, 2008, the Court found that DTP's reservation of the right to make such amendments reducing the level of benefits provided to retirees was limited by its collectively bargained health insurance agreement with the UAW, which did not expire until April 24, 2009. Thus, the amendments were untimely. In 2008, the Company recorded a charge of $4.0 million as a result of the Court's decision.
DTP filed a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana (Indianapolis Division) against the UAW Local No. 287 and Jim Barrett and others, individually and as representatives of a defendant class, on February 26, 2009 again seeking the Court's affirmation that DTP did not violate the Labor - Management Relations Act or ERISA by modifying the level of benefits provided retirees to make them comparable to other Company retiree benefit plans after April 24, 2009. Certain retirees, on behalf of themselves and others, filed a mirror-image action in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan (Southern Division) on March 11, 2009, for which a class has been certified. During the last quarter of 2009, the action pending in Indiana was dismissed, while the action in Michigan is continuing. The Company is vigorously defending against the suit. This contingency is subject to many uncertainties, therefore based on the information available to date, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount or the range of potential loss, if any.
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 38 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 with a balance of $6.7 million and $10.4 million at March 31, 2012 and at December 31, 2011, 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, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities, then unknown to the Company, relating to certain operations of Kuhlman Electric that pre-date the Company's 1999 acquisition of Kuhlman Electric. In 2007
and 2008, lawsuits were filed against Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, on behalf of approximately 340 alleging personal injury relating to alleged environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant. The Company entered into a settlement in July 2010 regarding the personal injury claims of the plaintiffs and those of approximately 2,700 unfiled claimants represented by those plaintiffs' attorneys. In exchange for, among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits and the release of claims by the unfiled claimants, the Company agreed to pay up to $28 million in settlement funds, which was expensed in the second quarter of 2010. The Company paid $13.9 million in November 2010 and made the final payment of $13.9 million in February 2011. Litigation concerning indemnification is pending and the Company may in the future become subject to further legal proceedings.
Product Liability
Like many other industrial companies who have historically operated in the U.S., 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. We believe that the Company's involvement is limited because, in general, these claims relate to a few types of automotive friction products that were manufactured many years ago and contained encapsulated asbestos. The nature of the fibers, the encapsulation and the manner of use lead the Company to believe that these products are highly unlikely to cause harm. As of both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately 16,000 pending asbestos-related product liability claims, respectively. Of the approximately 16,000 outstanding claims at March 31, 2012, approximately half were pending in jurisdictions that have undergone significant tort and judicial reform activities subsequent to the filing of these claims.
The Company's policy is to vigorously defend against these lawsuits and the Company has been successful in obtaining dismissal of many claims without any payment. The Company expects that the vast majority of the pending asbestos-related product liability claims where it is a defendant (or has an obligation to indemnify a defendant) will result in no payment being made by the Company or its insurers. In 2012, of the approximately 800 claims resolved, 74 (9.3%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In the full year of 2011, of the approximately 1,800 claims resolved, 288 (16%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company.
Prior to June 2004, the settlement and defense costs associated with all claims were paid by the Company's primary layer insurance carriers under a series of funding arrangements. In addition to the primary insurance available for asbestos-related claims, the Company has substantial excess insurance coverage available for potential future asbestos-related product claims. 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 (“CNA”) against the Company and certain of its other historical general liability insurers. The court has issued a number of interim rulings and discovery is continuing. CNA and the Company have entered into a settlement agreement resolving their coverage disputes, pursuant to which CNA will pay amounts over a four year period from 2011 - 2015 to the Company. The Company is vigorously pursuing the litigation against the remaining insurers.
Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the state or federal levels, due to the encapsulated nature of the products, the Company's experience in vigorously defending and resolving claims in the past, and the Company's significant insurance coverage with solvent carriers as of the date of this filing, management does not believe that asbestos-related product liability claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
To date, the Company has paid and accrued $200.6 million in defense and indemnity in advance of insurers' reimbursement and has received $81.1 million in cash and notes from insurers, including CNA. The net balance of $119.5 million, is expected to be fully recovered, of which approximately $34.7 million is expected to be recovered within one year. Timing of recovery is dependent on final resolution of the declaratory judgment action referred to above or additional negotiated settlements. At December 31, 2011, insurers owed $109.8 million in association with these claims.
In addition to the $119.5 million net balance relating to past settlements and defense costs, the Company has estimated a liability of $64.1 million for claims asserted, but not yet resolved and their related defense costs at March 31, 2012. The Company also has a related asset of $64.1 million to recognize proceeds from the insurance carriers. Insurance carrier reimbursement of 100% is expected based on the Company's experience, its insurance contracts and decisions received to date in the declaratory judgment action referred to above. At December 31, 2011, the comparable value of the insurance asset and accrued liability was $61.7 million.
The amounts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the estimated future settlement of existing claims are as follows:
|
| | | | | | | |
(millions of dollars) | March 31, 2012 | | December 31, 2011 |

|
The Company cannot reasonably estimate possible losses, if any, in excess of those for which it has accrued, because it cannot predict how many additional claims may be brought against the Company (or parties the Company has an obligation to indemnify) in the future, the allegations in such claims, the possible outcomes, or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the State or Federal levels.
(13) Earnings Per Share
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock (“EPS”) amounts. 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 proceeds from the exercise of awards to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the purchase price that the grantee will pay in the future, compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized and any windfall/(shortfall) tax benefits that would be credited/(debited) to capital in excess of par value when the award generates a tax deduction. Options are only dilutive when the average market price of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.
The potential common shares associated with the Company's 3.50% convertible senior notes due April 15, 2012, which were settled in April 2012, are reflected in diluted EPS using the “if-converted” method. Under this method, if dilutive, the common stock is assumed issued as of the beginning of the reporting period and included in calculating diluted EPS. In addition, if dilutive, interest expense, net of tax, related to the convertible notes is added back to the numerator in calculating diluted EPS.
Separately and concurrently with the issuance of the Company's 3.50% convertible senior notes, the Company entered into a bond hedge overlay, including warrants and call options. If the Company's weighted-average share price exceeds $38.61 per share, the warrants will be dilutive to the Company's earnings. If the Company's weighted average share price exceeds $32.82 per share, the offsetting bond hedge will be anti-dilutive.
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock:

(14) 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 profit or loss.
Adjusted EBIT is the measure of segment profit 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.

(15) New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended ASC Topic 210, "Balance Sheet," requiring companies to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This guidance is effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
INTRODUCTION
BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a leading global supplier of highly engineered automotive systems and components primarily for powertrain applications. Our products help improve vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, stability and air quality. These products are manufactured and sold worldwide, primarily to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of light vehicles (passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles ("SUVs"), vans and light-trucks). The Company's products are also sold to other OEMs of commercial vehicles (medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks and buses) and off-highway vehicles (agricultural and construction machinery and marine applications). We also manufacture and sell our products to certain Tier One vehicle systems suppliers and into the aftermarket for light, commercial and off-highway vehicles. The Company operates manufacturing facilities serving customers in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and is an original equipment supplier to every major automotive OEM in the world.
The Company's products fall into two reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain. The Engine segment's products include turbochargers, timing devices and chain products, emissions systems, thermal systems, diesel coldstart, gasoline ignition technology and cabin heaters. The Drivetrain segment's products include transmission components and systems and all-wheel drive torque management systems.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $1,912.5 million, a 10.5% increase from the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase occurred while light vehicle production was up 4% worldwide, including a 15% increase in North America and an 8% increase in Asia, partially offset by a 7% decrease in Europe from the previous year's first quarter. Excluding the impact of the first quarter 2011 acquisition of Haldex Traction Holding AB, fourth quarter 2011 dispositions and the impact of weakening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 13%. The industry's focus on fuel economy and lower emissions continued to drive the adoption of BorgWarner technology and above-market growth for the Company.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 79.3% in the first quarter of 2012 from 80.2% in the first quarter 2011. Gross profit and gross margin were $395.8 million and 20.7% for the first quarter of 2012 as compared to $342.8 million and 19.8% for the first quarter 2011. The Company's material cost of sales was approximately 50% of net sales in both the first quarter of 2012 and 2011. The Company's remaining cost to convert raw material to finished product (conversion cost) improved compared to the first quarter of 2011.
First quarter selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs increased $3.9 million to $169.0 million from $165.1 million, and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 8.8% from 9.5% from the first quarter 2011. Research and development ("R&D") costs, which are included in SG&A expenses, increased $6.7 million to $67.7 million from $61.0 million as compared to the first quarter of 2011. As a percentage of net sales, R&D costs were 3.5% in both the first quarter 2012 and 2011. 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.
Equity in affiliates’ earnings of $9.2 million increased $0.8 million as compared with the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to improved earnings from the Company's 50% interest in NSK-Warner.
Interest expense and finance charges of $15.1 million decreased $3.3 million as compared with the first quarter of 2011 due to increased capitalized interest associated with higher capital spending, lower foreign debt and lower interest rates.
At March 31, 2012, the Company's annual effective tax rate is estimated to be 26%. The Company's annual effective tax rate was estimated to be 24% at March 31, 2011. These 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. The estimated annual effective tax rate for 2012 is higher than the estimated annual effective tax rate for 2011 primarily due to the Company's increased profitability in higher taxed jurisdictions.
The Company’s earnings per diluted share were $1.28 and $1.00 in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Engine segment net sales increased $58.8 million, or 4.7%, from the first quarter 2011. Excluding the impact of the fourth quarter 2011 dispositions and weakening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 8% from the first quarter 2011. The Engine segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 16.0% in the first quarter 2012 up from 14.9% in the first quarter 2011. The net sales and Adjusted EBIT margin increases were primarily driven by strong global growth in all major product groups and continued cost management.
The Drivetrain segment net sales increased $125.0 million, or 25.7%, from the first quarter 2011. Excluding the acquisition of Haldex Traction AB and the impact of weakening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 24% from the first quarter of 2011. The Drivetrain segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 10.0% in the first quarter 2012 up from 6.6% in the first quarter 2011. The net sales and Adjusted EBIT margin increases were primarily driven by strong global growth in all major product groups, operational improvements, a reduction in Haldex Traction AB acquisition related expenses and continued cost management.
Corporate represents headquarters' expenses not directly attributable to the individual segments, expenses associated with divested operations and equity in affiliates' earnings. The net expense increased $5.7 million from the first quarter 2011 primarily due to increased stock-based compensation expense.
Outlook for the Remainder of 2012
Our overall outlook for 2012 is generally positive. The Company expects global production volumes to be higher in 2012 compared with 2011. In Europe, we expect production volumes to decline in 2012 compared with 2011. However, we expect that higher adoption rates of BorgWarner products around the world will result in sales growth for the Company above global production growth in 2012.
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 trends that are driving our long-term growth are expected to continue, including the growth of direct injection diesel and gasoline engines worldwide, the increased adoption of automated transmissions in Europe and Asia-Pacific, and the move to variable cam and chain engine timing systems in both Europe and Asia-Pacific.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
The Company had $396.9 million of cash on hand at March 31, 2012. The Company's $650 million multi-currency revolving credit facility, which includes a feature that allows the Company's borrowings to be increased to $1 billion, provides for borrowings through June 30, 2016 and is guaranteed by the Company's material domestic subsidiaries. The Company has two key financial covenants as part of the credit agreement. These covenants are a debt compared to EBITDA (“Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization”) test and an interest coverage test. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2012 and expects to remain compliant in future periods. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $170.0 million and $70.0 million, respectively, under this facility.
Subsequent to the Balance Sheet date, in April 2012, the Company settled its convertible senior notes by delivering approximately 11.4 million shares of common stock held in treasury to the note holders, which increased the weighted average basic shares outstanding and had no impact on weighted average dilutive shares outstanding. The second quarter 2012 financial impact of this settlement will result in a reduction in the current portion of long-term debt of $373.8 million, a reduction in common stock held in treasury of $617.3 million and a reduction in capital in excess of par value of $243.5 million.
Subsequent to the Balance Sheet date, on April 16, 2012, the Company separately and concurrently settled the call option portion of the convertible note related bond hedge overlay, receiving approximately 6.5 million shares of its common stock, which reduced the weighted average basic and dilutive shares outstanding. The second quarter 2012 financial impact of this settlement will result in an increase in common stock held in treasury of $503.9 million and an increase to capital in excess of par value of $503.9 million. The Company's bond hedge overlay also includes warrants, which are scheduled to mature on October 9, 2012. The dilutive impact of these warrants is currently included in the Company's weighted average dilutive shares outstanding.
The Company's debt to capital ratio was 27.1% at the end of the first quarter versus 28.3% at the end of 2011.
In addition to the credit facility, the Company's universal shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission, has unlimited amount of various debt and equity instruments, which could be issued.
From a credit quality perspective, the Company has a credit rating of Baa2 from Moody's. In April 2012, the Company's credit rating was raised to BBB+ from BBB by both Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings. The current outlook from Moody's, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings is stable. 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 $72.2 million to $30.8 million in the first three months of 2012, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $41.4 million in the first three months of 2011. This increase primarily reflects higher earnings and improved working capital management during the first three months of 2012 compared with the first three months of 2011.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $175.4 million to $92.4 million for the first three months of 2012 from $267.8 million in the first three months of 2011. This decrease is primarily due to lower payments for businesses acquired, net of cash acquired, which was partially offset by increased capital spending. Capital spending, including tooling outlays, increased $24.8 million to $95.0 million in the first three months of 2012 from $70.2 million in the first three months of 2011. This increase is largely due to higher spending levels required to meet an increase in program launches around the world.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $97.3 million and $78.6 million for the first three months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The $18.7 million increase primarily reflects increased proceeds from stock options exercised, including the tax benefit, partially offset by increased dividend payments to non-controlling shareholders.
We believe that the combination of cash from operations, cash balances, available credit facilities, and the remaining shelf registration capacity will be sufficient to satisfy our cash needs for our current level of operations and our planned operations for the foreseeable future. We will continue to balance our needs for internal growth, external growth, 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 the results 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.
Litigation
In January 2006, BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products Inc. ("DTP"), a subsidiary of the Company, filed a declaratory judgment action in United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana (Indianapolis Division) against the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implements Workers of America (“UAW”) Local No. 287 and Gerald Poor, individually and as the representative of a defendant class. DTP sought the Court's affirmation that DTP did not violate the Labor-Management Relations Act or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by unilaterally amending certain medical plans effective April 1, 2006 and October 1, 2006, prior to the expiration of the then-current collective bargaining agreements. On September 10, 2008, the Court found that DTP's reservation of the right to make such amendments reducing the level of benefits provided to retirees was limited by its collectively bargained health insurance agreement with the UAW, which did not expire until April 24, 2009. Thus, the amendments were untimely. In 2008, the Company recorded a charge of $4.0 million as a result of the Court's decision.
DTP filed a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana (Indianapolis Division) against the UAW Local No. 287 and Jim Barrett and others, individually and as representatives of a defendant class, on February 26, 2009 again seeking the Court's affirmation that DTP did not violate the Labor - Management Relations Act or ERISA by modifying the level of benefits provided retirees to make them comparable to other Company retiree benefit plans after April 24, 2009. Certain retirees, on behalf of themselves and others, filed a mirror-image action in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan (Southern Division) on March 11, 2009, for which a class has been certified. During the last quarter of 2009, the action pending in Indiana was dismissed, while the action in Michigan is continuing. The Company is vigorously defending against the suit. This contingency is subject to many uncertainties, therefore based on the information available to date, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount or the range of potential loss, if any.
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 38 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 with a balance of $6.7 million and $10.4 million at March 31, 2012 and at December 31, 2011, 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, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities, then unknown to the Company, relating to certain operations of Kuhlman Electric that pre-date the Company's 1999 acquisition of Kuhlman Electric. In 2007 and 2008, lawsuits were filed against Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, on behalf of approximately 340 alleging personal injury relating to alleged environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant. The Company entered into a settlement in July 2010 regarding the personal injury claims of the plaintiffs and those of approximately 2,700 unfiled claimants represented by those plaintiffs' attorneys. In exchange for, among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits and the release of claims by the unfiled claimants, the Company agreed to pay up to $28 million in settlement funds, which was expensed in the second quarter of 2010. The Company paid $13.9 million in November 2010 and made the final payment of $13.9 million in February 2011. Litigation concerning indemnification is pending and the Company may in the future become subject to further legal proceedings.
Product Liability
Like many other industrial companies who have historically operated in the U.S., 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. We believe that the Company's involvement is limited because, in general, these claims relate to a few types of automotive friction products that were manufactured many years ago and contained encapsulated asbestos. The nature of the fibers, the encapsulation and the manner of use lead the Company to believe that these products are highly unlikely to cause harm. As of both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately 16,000 pending asbestos-related product liability claims, respectively. Of the approximately 16,000 outstanding claims at March 31, 2012, approximately half were pending in jurisdictions that have undergone significant tort and judicial reform activities subsequent to the filing of these claims.
The Company's policy is to vigorously defend against these lawsuits and the Company has been successful in obtaining dismissal of many claims without any payment. The Company expects that the vast majority of the pending asbestos-related product liability claims where it is a defendant (or has an obligation to indemnify a defendant) will result in no payment being made by the Company or its insurers. In 2012, of the approximately 800 claims resolved, 74 (9.3%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In the full year of 2011, of the approximately 1,800 claims resolved, 288 (16%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company.
Prior to June 2004, the settlement and defense costs associated with all claims were paid by the Company's primary layer insurance carriers under a series of funding arrangements. In addition to the primary insurance available for asbestos-related claims, the Company has substantial excess insurance coverage available for potential future asbestos-related product claims. 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 (“CNA”) against the Company and certain of its other historical general liability insurers. The court has issued a number of interim rulings and discovery is continuing. CNA and the Company have entered into a settlement agreement resolving their coverage disputes, pursuant to which CNA will pay amounts over a four year period from 2011 - 2015 to the Company. The Company is vigorously pursuing the litigation against the remaining insurers.
Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the state or federal levels, due to the encapsulated nature of the products, the Company's experience in vigorously defending and resolving claims in the past, and the Company's significant insurance coverage with solvent carriers as of the date of this filing, management does not believe that asbestos-related product liability claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
To date, the Company has paid and accrued $200.6 million in defense and indemnity in advance of insurers' reimbursement and has received $81.1 million in cash and notes from insurers, including CNA. The net balance of $119.5 million, is expected to be fully recovered, of which approximately $34.7 million is expected to be recovered within one year. Timing of recovery is dependent on final resolution of the declaratory judgment action referred to above or additional negotiated settlements. At December 31, 2011, insurers owed $109.8 million in association with these claims.
In addition to the $119.5 million net balance relating to past settlements and defense costs, the Company has estimated a liability of $64.1 million for claims asserted, but not yet resolved and their related defense costs at March 31, 2012. The Company also has a related asset of $64.1 million to recognize proceeds from the insurance carriers. Insurance carrier reimbursement of 100% is expected based on the Company's experience, its insurance contracts and decisions received to date in the declaratory judgment action referred to above. At December 31, 2011, the comparable value of the insurance asset and accrued liability was $61.7 million.
The amounts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the estimated future settlement of existing claims are as follows:
|
| | | | | | | |
(millions of dollars) | March 31, 2012 | | December 31, 2011 |
Assets: | | | |
Prepayments and other current assets | $ | 28.9 |
| | $ | 28.8 |
|
Other non-current assets | 35.2 |
| | 32.9 |
|
Total insurance assets | $ | 64.1 |
| | $ | 61.7 |
|
Liabilities: | | | |
Accounts payable and accrued expenses | $ | 28.9 |
| | $ | 28.8 |
|
Other non-current liabilities | 35.2 |
| | 32.9 |
|
Total accrued liabilities | $ | 64.1 |
| | $ | 61.7 |
|
The Company cannot reasonably estimate possible losses, if any, in excess of those for which it has accrued, because it cannot predict how many additional claims may be brought against the Company (or parties the Company has an obligation to indemnify) in the future, the allegations in such claims, the possible outcomes, or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the State or Federal levels.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended ASC Topic 210, "Balance Sheet," requiring companies to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This guidance is effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (Repurchases and Authorization of Equity Securities) |
The Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 19.8 million shares of the Company's common stock. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had repurchased 17,513,558 shares. 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.
