BORGWARNER INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated
Subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The statements are
unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting only of recurring items, except as noted, which
the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein. The
December 31, 2005 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial
statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The results of operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the entire year.
The Company acquired the European Transmission and Engine Controls (ETEC) product lines from
Eaton Corporation as of the close of business for the current quarter for $64.4 million, net of
cash acquired. ETEC is contained in the September 30, 2006 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
and in the September 30, 2006 total assets for the Drivetrain segment. There is no ETEC activity
contained in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2006.
The Company has reclassified certain 2005 amounts to conform to the presentation of its 2006
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These condensed financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
(2) Research and Development
Research and development (R&D) costs charged to expense were $46.2 million and $39.9 million for
the three months ended, and $140.1 million and $121.0 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. R&D costs are included primarily in the selling, general, and
administrative expenses of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Not included in
these amounts were customer sponsored R&D activities of $7.0 million and $11.9 million for the
three months ended, and $20.8 million and $31.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 and 2005, respectively.
(3) Restructuring
On September 22, 2006, in response to a significant decline in North American auto industry
production, the Company announced the reduction of its North American workforce by approximately
850 people, or 13%, spread across its 19 operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The
restructuring expense recognized for employee termination benefits is $6.7 million. The
6
corresponding liability of $6.7 million will be substantially paid out prior to the end of 2006.
In addition to the employee termination costs, the Company recorded $4.8 million of asset
impairment charges related to the North American restructuring. The restructuring expenses broken
out by segment were as follows: Engine $7.3 million, Drivetrain $3.6 million and Corporate $0.6
million.
(4) Income Taxes
The Companys provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year
applied to U.S. federal, state and foreign income. The projected effective tax rate of 27.0% for
2006 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign rates, which differ from those
in the U.S., and favorable permanent differences between book and tax treatment for items,
including equity in affiliate earnings and Medicare prescription drug benefit. This rate is
expected to be greater than the full year 2005 effective tax rate of 17.5% because the 2005 rate
included the release of tax accrual accounts upon conclusion of certain tax audits and the tax
effects of dispositions. The 2006 projected effective tax rate of 27.0% is lower than the 2005 tax
rate of 27.8% for on-going operations. This is due to the year over year reduction in U.S. pretax
income for on-going operations, which is taxed at a higher rate than the Companys global average
tax rate.
(5) Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(Revised 2004) Share-Based Payment (FAS 123R), which required the Company to measure all
employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record the related expense
in the financial statements. The Company elected to use the modified prospective transition
method, which requires that compensation cost be recognized in the financial statements for all
awards granted after the date of adoption as well as for existing awards for which the requisite
service has not been rendered as of the date of adoption and requires that prior periods not be
restated. All periods presented prior to January 1, 2006 were accounted for in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No.
25). Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized for fixed stock options prior to January 1,
2006 because the exercise price of the stock options exceeded or equaled the market value of the
Companys common stock at the date of grant, which is the measurement date.
In October 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP) No. 123R-2, Practical Accommodation to the Application of Grant Date as Defined in FASB
Statement No. 123R (FSP 123R-2), to provide guidance on determining the grant date for an award
as defined in FAS 123R. FSP 123R-2 stipulates that assuming all other criteria in the grant date
definition are met, a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of an award to an
individual employee is presumed to exist upon the awards approval in accordance with the relevant
corporate governance requirements, provided that the key terms and conditions of an award (a)
cannot be negotiated by the recipient with the employer because the award is a unilateral grant,
and (b) are expected to be communicated to an individual recipient within a relatively short time
period from the date of
7
approval. The Company has applied the principles set forth in FSP 123R-2 in connection with its
adoption of FAS 123R on January 1, 2006.
Paragraph 81 of FAS 123R requires an entity to calculate the pool of excess tax benefits available
to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to adopting Statement 123R (termed the APIC
Pool). In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP No. 123R-3, Transition Election Related to
Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards (FSP 123R-3), to provide an
alternative transition election related to accounting for the tax effects of share-based payment
awards to employees to the guidance provided in Paragraph 81 of FAS 123R. The Company elected to
adopt the transition method described in FSP 123R-3. Utilizing the calculation method described in
FSP 123R-3, the Company calculated its APIC pool as of January 1, 2006 associated with stock
options that were fully vested as of December 31, 2005. The impact on the APIC Pool for stock
options that are partially vested at, or granted subsequent to, December 31, 2005 will be
determined in accordance with FAS 123R.
Under the Companys 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company granted options to purchase shares of
the Companys 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. The 1993 plan expired at
the end of 2003 and was replaced by the Companys 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, which was amended at
the Companys 2006 Annual Stockholders Meeting to, among other things, increase the number of
shares available for issuance under the plan. Under the Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive
Plan, the number of shares authorized for grant is 5,000,000. As of September 30, 2006, there were
a total of 3,672,759 outstanding options under the 1993 and 2004 Stock Incentive Plans.
The adoption of FAS 123R reduced income before income taxes and net earnings by $3.2 million and
$2.5 million ($0.04 per basic and diluted share) for the three months ended, and $9.1 million and
$6.7 million ($0.12 per basic and diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
respectively. The adoption affected both operating activities ($9.1 million non-cash charge) and
financing activities ($2.4 million tax benefit) of the Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006.
The following table illustrates the effect on the Companys net earnings and net earnings per share
if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, for the prior periods presented:

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation on
arrangements at September 30, 2006 is $24.2 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over
the next 2.8 years. A summary of the plans shares under option as of and for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 is as follows:

In calculating earnings per share, earnings are the same for the basic and diluted
calculations. Shares increased for diluted earnings per share by 531,000 and 672,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 592,000 and 692,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, due to the effects of stock options and shares
issuable under the Executive Stock Performance Plan.
The weighted average fair values for options granted in July 2006 and July 2005 were $17.81 and
$14.63, respectively. These values were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
options pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The expected lives of the awards are based on historical exercise patterns and the terms of
the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on zero coupon treasury bond rates
corresponding to the expected life of the awards. The expected volatility assumption was derived
by referring to changes in the Companys historical common stock prices over the same timeframe as
the expected life of the awards. The expected dividend yield of stock is based on the Companys
historical dividend yield. The Company has no reason to believe that the expected dividend yield
or the future stock volatility is likely to differ materially from historical patterns.

(6) Marketable Securities
As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had $71.3 million and $40.6 million,
respectively, of highly liquid investments in marketable securities, primarily bank notes. The
securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, reported in
other comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $57.6 million and $27.7
million of the contractual maturities are within one to five years and $13.7 million and $12.9
million are due beyond five years, respectively. The Company does not intend to hold these
investments until maturity; rather they are available to support current operations if needed.
Gross proceeds from the sale of marketable securities were $7.5 million and $14.1 million in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Net realized gains of $0.1 million and $0.6
million, based on specific identification of securities sold, have been reported in other income
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Net realized gains of $0.4 million, based
on specific identification of securities sold, were reported in other income for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005. See Note 17 regarding the restatement of marketable securities, with
respect to the Companys 2005 interim financial statements.
(7) Sales of Receivables
The Company securitizes and sells certain receivables through third party financial institutions
without recourse. The amount sold can vary each month based on the amount of underlying
receivables. At both September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company had sold $50 million of receivables
under a Receivables Transfer Agreement for face value without recourse. During both of the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, total cash proceeds from sales of accounts
receivable were $450 million. The Company paid servicing fees related to these receivables for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 of $0.7 million and $2.0 million and $0.5
million and $1.3 million, respectively. These amounts are recorded in interest expense and finance
charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(8) Inventories
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:

(10) Product Warranty
The Company provides warranties on some 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 claims. Management actively studies trends of warranty
claims and takes action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. While management
believes that the warranty accrual is appropriate, actual claims incurred could differ from the
original estimates, requiring adjustments to the accrual. The accrual is recorded in both
long-term and short-term liabilities on the balance sheet. The following table summarizes the
activity in the warranty accrual accounts:

The Company entered into several interest rate swaps, which have the effect of converting
$314.0 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 of these fixed rate notes to variable
rates. The weighted average effective interest rate for these borrowings, including the effects of
outstanding swaps as shown in Note 12 was 5.2% and 4.8% as of September 30, 2006 and December 31,
2005, respectively. |
The Company has a multi-currency revolving credit facility, which provides for borrowings up
to $600.0 million through July 2009. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $90.0 million
and $15.0 million, respectively, of borrowings under the facility was outstanding. The credit
agreement is subject to the usual terms and conditions applied by banks to an investment grade
company. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2006 and expects to be
compliant in future periods. The 7% Senior Notes with a face value of $139.0 million mature on
November 1, 2006. Management plans to refinance this amount at that time. The Company had
outstanding letters of credit of $27.0 million at September 30, 2006 and $25.7 million at December
31, 2005. The letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties
in accordance with specified terms and conditions.
As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the estimated fair values of the Companys senior
unsecured notes totaled $564.6 million and $574.7 million, respectively. The estimated fair values
were $36.2 million higher in 2006, and $46.6 million higher in 2005, than their respective carrying
values. Fair market values are developed by the use of estimates obtained from brokers and other
appropriate valuation techniques based on information available as of year-end. The fair value
estimates do not necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the current markets.

(12) Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade
receivables, trade payables, and notes payable. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments,
the book value approximates fair value. The Companys financial instruments also include long-term
debt, interest rate and currency swaps, commodity swap contracts, and foreign currency forward and
option contracts. All derivative contracts are placed with counterparties that have a credit
rating of A- or better.
The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing its exposure to fixed and variable rates
while attempting to minimize its interest costs. The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps
to reduce market value risk associated with changes in interest rates (fair value hedges). The
Company also selectively uses cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency exposure
associated with its net investment in certain foreign operations (net investment hedges).

The maturity of the swaps corresponds with the maturity of the hedged item as noted in
the debt summary. |
As of September 30, 2006, the fair value of the fixed to floating interest rate swaps was
recorded as a current asset of $0.3 million and a current liability of $(0.4) million, and a
non-current asset of $1.8 million and a non-current liability of $(3.0) million. As of December
31, 2005, the fair value of the fixed to floating interest rate swaps was recorded as a current
asset of $1.0 million and a current liability of $(0.6) million, and a non-current asset of $2.9
million and a non-current liability of $(2.9) million. No hedge ineffectiveness was recognized in
relation to fixed to floating swaps.

The cross currency swaps were recorded at their fair values of $4.8 million included in other
current assets, $4.4 million included in other non-current assets, $(3.9) million included in other
current liabilities and $(2.9) million included in other non-current liabilities at September 30,
2006 and $3.9 million included in other current assets, $14.9 million included in other non-current
assets and $(5.1) million included in other current liabilities at December 31, 2005. Hedge
ineffectiveness of $0.3 million was recognized as of September 30, 2006 in relation to cross
currency swaps. Fair value is based on quoted market prices for contracts with similar maturities.
The Company also entered into certain commodity derivative instruments to protect against commodity
price changes related to forecasted raw material and supplies purchases. The primary purpose of
the commodity price hedging activities is to manage the volatility associated with these forecasted
purchases. The Company primarily utilizes forward and option contracts, which are designated as
cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had forward commodity contracts with a
total notional value of $4.1 million. As of September 30, 2006, the Company was holding commodity
derivatives with positive and negative fair market values of $2.0 million and $(0.8) million,
respectively, $2.0 million gains and ($0.7) million losses mature in less than one year. To the
extent that derivative instruments are deemed to be effective as defined by FAS 133, gains and
losses arising from these contracts are deferred in other comprehensive income. Such gains and
losses will be reclassified into income as the underlying operating transactions are realized.
Gains and losses that do not qualify for deferral treatment have been credited/charged to income as
they are recognized. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had commodity forward contracts with a
total notional value of $5.8 million. The fair market value of the forward contracts was $2.1
million ($2.0 million maturing in less than one year) as of December 31, 2005. Gains and losses
not qualifying for deferral associated with these contracts as of September 30, 2006 amounted to
$0.3 million and $(0.1) million, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, gains and losses not
qualifying for deferral were insignificant.
The Company uses foreign exchange forward and option contracts to protect against exchange rate
movements for forecasted cash flows for purchases, operating expenses or sales transactions
designated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit. Most contracts
mature in less than one year, however certain long-term commitments are covered by forward currency
arrangements to protect against currency risk through 2009. Foreign currency contracts require the
Company, at a future date, to either buy or sell foreign currency in exchange for the operating
units local currency. At September 30, 2006, contracts were outstanding to buy or sell U.S.
Dollars, Euros, British Pounds Sterling, South Korean Won, Japanese Yen and Hungarian Forints. To
the extent that derivative instruments are deemed to be effective as defined by FAS 133, gains and
losses arising from these contracts are deferred in other comprehensive income. Such gains and
losses will be reclassified into income as the underlying operating transactions are realized. Any
gains or losses not qualifying for deferral are credited/charged to income as they are recognized.
As of September 30, 2006, the Company was holding foreign exchange derivatives with a positive
market value of $3.8 million ($3.7 million maturing in less than one year). Derivative contracts
with negative value amounted to $(2.5) million ($(0.8)
15
million maturing in less than one year). As of December 31, 2005, the Company was holding foreign
exchange derivatives with a positive market value of $3.0 million ($1.6 million maturing in less
than one year). Derivative contracts with negative value amounted to $(1.6) million ($(1.4) million
maturing in less than one year). Gains not qualifying for deferral associated with these contracts
as of September 30, 2006 amounted to $0.2 million. As of December 31, 2005, losses not qualifying
for deferral amounted to $(0.5) million.
(13) Retirement Benefit Plans
The Company has a number of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans
covering eligible salaried and hourly employees. The other postretirement benefits plans, which
provide medical and life insurance benefits, are unfunded plans. The estimated contributions to
pension plans for 2006 range from $17 to $20 million of which approximately $15 million has been
contributed through the first nine months of the year.
Effective April 1, 2006, a subsidiary of the Company, BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products
Inc. (DTP), changed its retiree medical benefits program to provide certain participating
retirees with continued access to group health coverage while reducing its subsidy of the program.
DTP has filed a declaratory judgment action to affirm its right to adjust the benefit. Litigation
over the right to adjust retiree benefits is commonplace. DTP believes it is within its right to
adjust the benefit under the plans, and that it will be successful in the declaratory judgment
action, although there can be no guarantee of success in any litigation.
This plan change (negative amendment) is being amortized over the average remaining service life to
retirement eligibility of active plan participants.
As a result of the adjustments, as well as implementing cost reduction initiatives at other
subsidiaries, expenses for other postretirement benefits for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 were slightly lower than the expense recognized in the first nine months of 2005. The Company
expects the full year 2006 other postretirement expense to be slightly lower than the full year
2005 expense.
The components of net periodic benefit cost recorded in the Companys Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations are as follows:

(14) Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income measures all changes in stockholders equity that result from transactions and
other economic events other than transactions with stockholders. The amounts presented as other
comprehensive income/(loss), net of related income taxes, are added to/(deducted from) net earnings
resulting in comprehensive income. The following table summarizes the components of comprehensive
income on an after-tax basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

(15) Contingencies
In the normal course of business the Company and its subsidiaries are parties 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 and its subsidiaries will ultimately be successful in any of
these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. The Companys
environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. The Companys
management does not expect that the results in any of these legal proceedings will have a material
adverse effect on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
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 35 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 large 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; remediation alternatives;
18
estimated
legal fees; and other factors), the Company has established an accrual for indicated environmental
liabilities with a balance at September 30, 2006 of $14.9 million. Excluding the Crystal Springs
site discussed below for which $5.2 million has been accrued, the Company has accrued amounts that
do not exceed $3.0 million related to any individual site and management does not believe that the
costs related to any of these other individual sites
will have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations, cash flows or financial
condition. The Company expects to pay out substantially all of the $14.9 million accrued
environmental liability over the next three to 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 relating to the past operations of
Kuhlman Electric. The liabilities at issue result from operations of Kuhlman Electric that
pre-date the Companys acquisition of Kuhlman Electrics parent company, Kuhlman Corporation, in
1999. During 2000, Kuhlman Electric notified the Company that it discovered potential
environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant while undertaking an
expansion of the plant. The Company is continuing to work with the Mississippi Department of
Environmental Quality and Kuhlman Electric to investigate and remediate to the extent necessary, if
any, historical contamination at the plant and surrounding area. Kuhlman Electric and others,
including the Company, were sued in numerous related lawsuits, in which multiple claimants alleged
personal injury and property damage.
The Company and other defendants, including the Companys subsidiary, Kuhlman Corporation, entered
into a settlement in July 2005 regarding approximately 90% of personal injury and property damage
claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination. In exchange for, among other things,
the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits, the defendants agreed to pay a total sum of up to
$39.0 million in settlement funds. The settlement was paid in three approximately equal
installments. The first two payments of $12.9 million were made in the third and fourth quarters
of 2005 and $13.0 million was paid in the first quarter of 2006.
The same group of defendants entered into a settlement in October 2005 regarding approximately 9%
of personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination.
In exchange for, among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits, the defendants
agreed to pay a total sum of up to $5.4 million in settlement funds. The settlement was paid in
two approximately equal installments in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006.
With this settlement, the Company and other defendants have resolved about 99% of the known
personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination.
The cost of this settlement has been recorded in other income in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligations an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
143, which requires the Company to recognize legal obligations to perform asset retirements in
which the timing
19
and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not
be within the control of the entity. Certain government regulations require the removal and
disposal of asbestos from an existing facility at the time the facility undergoes major renovations
or is demolished. The liability exists because the facility will not last forever, but it is
conditional on future renovations, even if there are no immediate plans to remove the materials,
which pose no health or safety hazard in their current condition.
Similarly, government regulations require the removal or closure of underground storage tanks
(USTs) when their use ceases, the disposal of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) transformers and
capacitors when their use ceases, and the disposal of lead-based paint in conjunction with facility
renovations or demolition. The Company currently has 11 manufacturing locations that have been
identified as containing asbestos-related building materials, USTs, PCB transformers or capacitors,
or lead-based paint. The fair value to remove and dispose of this material has been estimated and
recorded at $0.8 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
Product Liability
Like many other industrial companies that 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. Management believes that the Companys 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 September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately 50,000
pending asbestos-related product liability claims. Of these outstanding claims, approximately
40,000 are pending in just three jurisdictions, where significant tort reform activities are
underway.
The Companys policy is to aggressively 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 the nine months of 2006, of the approximately 20,700 claims resolved, only 132
(0.6%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In 2005,
of the approximately 38,000 claims resolved, only 295 (0.8%) 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 covered by the
Companys primary layer insurance coverage, and these carriers administered, defended, settled and
paid all claims under a funding arrangement. In June 2004, primary layer insurance carriers
notified the Company of the alleged exhaustion of their policy limits. This led the Company to
access the next available layer of insurance coverage. Since June 2004, secondary layer insurers
have paid asbestos-related litigation defense and settlement expenses pursuant to a funding
arrangement. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has a receivable of $8.5 million due to funding
settlements before reimbursement by some of the secondary layer insurers under this arrangement.
The Company is expecting to fully recover these amounts. At September 30, 2006, the Company has an
estimated liability of $34.8 million for future claims resolutions, with a related asset of $34.8
million to recognize the insurance proceeds receivable by the Company for estimated losses related
to claims that have yet to be resolved. Insurance carrier reimbursement of 100% is expected based
on the Companys experience,
20
its insurance contracts and decisions received to date in the
declaratory judgment action referred to below. At December 31, 2005, the comparable value of the
insurance receivable and accrued liability was $41.0 million.
The amounts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the estimated future
settlement of existing claims are as follows:

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 currently being
considered at the State and Federal levels.
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. CNA provided the Company with both
primary and additional layer insurance, and, in conjunction with other insurers, is currently
defending and indemnifying the Company in its pending asbestos-related product liability claims.
The lawsuit seeks to determine the extent of insurance coverage available to the Company including
whether the available limits exhaust on a per occurrence or an aggregate basis, and to
determine how the applicable coverage responsibilities should be apportioned. On August 15, 2005,
the Court issued an interim order regarding the apportionment matter. The interim order has the
effect of making insurers responsible for all defense and settlement costs pro rata to
time-on-the-risk, with the pro-ration method to hold the insured harmless for periods of bankrupt
or unavailable coverage. Appeals of the interim order were denied. However, the issue is reserved
for appellate review at the end of the action. In addition to the primary insurance available for
asbestos-related claims, the Company has substantial additional layers of insurance available for
potential future asbestos-related product claims. As such, the Company continues to believe that
its coverage is sufficient to meet foreseeable liabilities.
Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims or the impact of tort
reform legislation being considered at the State and Federal levels, due to the encapsulated nature
of the products, the Companys experiences in aggressively defending and resolving claims in the
past, and the Companys 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 Companys results of operations, cash flows or financial
condition.

(16) Leases and Commitments
The Company has guaranteed the residual values of certain leased machinery and equipment at one of
its facilities. The guarantee extends through the maturity of the underlying lease, which is on
September 30, 2007. In the event the Company exercises its option not to purchase the machinery
and equipment, the Company has guaranteed a residual value of $14.4 million. The Company does not
believe it has any loss exposure due to this guarantee.
(17) Restatement of Marketable Securities
On January 4, 2005, the Company acquired 62.2% of the outstanding shares of Beru AG (Beru),
headquartered in Ludwigsburg, Germany, from the Carlyle Group and certain family shareholders. In
conjunction with the acquisition, the Company launched a tender offer for the remaining outstanding
shares of Beru, which ended in February 2005. Presently, the Company holds 69.4% of the shares of
Beru. In the preparation of the Companys 2005 annual financial statements, the Company determined
that marketable securities, which were part of the Beru acquisition and which amounted to $46.3
million as of September 30, 2005, had previously been reported as cash and cash equivalents in the
Companys September 30, 2005 quarterly filing, and should have been reported as marketable
securities. The Company has restated its nine months ended September 30, 2005 Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows contained in this quarterly filing to properly present these
marketable securities.
This restatement has no impact on current assets or total assets, but does impact the presentation
of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
The effects of this restatement on the previously reported September 30, 2005 Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows were to change (a) the net (increase)/decrease in marketable
securities from $0.0 to $0.2 million; (b) payments for business acquired, net of cash acquired from
$(429.4) million to $(477.2) million; (c) net cash used in investing activities from $(556.9)
million to $(604.5) million; (d) effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents from
$(16.6) million to $(15.3) million; (e) net decrease in cash and cash equivalents from $(90.2)
million to $(136.5) million; and (f) cash and cash equivalents at end of period from $139.5 million
to $93.2 million.
(18) Operating Segments
The Companys business is comprised of two operating segments: Engine and Drivetrain. These
reportable segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents
a specific grouping of related automotive components and systems. Effective January 1, 2006, the
Company assigned an operating facility previously reported in the Engine segment to
22
the Drivetrain
segment due to changes in the facilitys product mix. Prior period segment amounts have been
re-classified to conform to the current
years presentation.
The Company allocates resources to each segment based upon the projected after-tax return on
invested capital (ROIC) of its business initiatives. The ROIC is comprised of projected earnings
before interest and income taxes (EBIT) adjusted for income taxes compared to the projected
average capital investment required.
EBIT is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a
numerical measure of a companys financial performance, financial position or cash flows that
excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBIT is defined as earnings before
interest, income taxes and minority interest. Earnings is intended to mean net earnings as
presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under GAAP.
The Company believes that EBIT is useful to demonstrate the operational profitability of its
segments by excluding interest and income taxes, which are generally accounted for across the
entire Company on a consolidated basis. EBIT is also one of the measures used by the Company to
determine resource allocation within the Company. Although the Company believes that EBIT enhances
understanding of its business and performance, it should not be considered an alternative to, or
more meaningful than, net earnings or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with
GAAP.
The following tables show net sales, segment earnings before interest and income taxes and total
assets for the Companys reportable operating segments.

(19) New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 151, Inventory Costs (FAS 151), which is an amendment of ARB No.43,
Chapter 4. FAS 151 provides clarification of accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility
expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. Generally, this statement requires that
those items be recognized as current period charges. FAS 151 became effective for the Company on
January 1, 2006. The adoption of FAS 151 did not have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2006, the FASB issued interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. The interpretation prescribes a
consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for
subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring such tax positions for financial statement
purposes. FIN 48 also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income
taxes. FIN 48 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2007. The Company is currently
assessing the potential
impact, if any, on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for the
Company beginning with its quarter ending March 31, 2008. The adoption of FAS 157 is not expected
to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 123(R) (FAS 158). FAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the
funded status of each defined benefit posretirement plan on the balance sheet. The funded status
of all overfunded plans are aggregated and recognized as a noncurrent asset on the balance sheet.
The funded status of all underfunded plans are aggregated and recognized as a current liability, a
noncurrent liability, or a combination of both on the balance sheet. A current liability is the
amount by which the actuarial present value of benefits included in the benefit obligation in the
next 12 months exceeds the fair value of plan assets, and is determined on a plan-by-plan basis.
FAS 158 also requires the measurement date of a plans assets and its obligations to be the
employers fiscal year-end date, for which the Company already complies. Additionally, FAS 158
requires an employer to recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement
plan in the year in which the change occurs. FAS 158 is effective for the Company as of December
31, 2006. As the Company measures its plan assets and obligations as of December 31, 2006, the
Company is not able to
25
determine the impact that the adoption of FAS 158 will have on its condensed
consolidated financial statements until that time. However, if the Company had adopted FAS 158 as
of December 31, 2005, the Company would have recognized a $48 million noncurrent asset, a $39
million current liability, an increase in noncurrent liabilities of $382 million, and a decrease to
stockholders equity of $237 million, on an after tax basis.
Item 2. Managements 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 systems and components primarily for powertrain applications. Our products help
improve vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, air quality and vehicle stability. They are
manufactured and sold worldwide, primarily to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of light
vehicles (i.e. passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles (SUVs), cross-over vehicles, vans and light
trucks). Our products are also manufactured and sold to OEMs of commercial trucks, buses and
agricultural and off-highway vehicles. We also manufacture and sell our products into the
aftermarket for light and commercial vehicles. We operate manufacturing facilities serving
customers in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and are an original equipment supplier to every
major automaker in the world.
The Companys products fall into two reportable operating segments: Engine and Drivetrain.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company assigned an operating facility previously reported in the
Engine segment to the Drivetrain segment due to changes in the facilitys product mix. Prior
period segment amounts have been re-classified to conform to the current years presentation. The
Engine segments products include turbochargers, timing chain systems, air management, emissions
systems, thermal systems, as well as diesel and gas ignition systems. The Drivetrain segments
products are all-wheel drive transfer cases, torque management systems, and components and systems
for transmissions.
As discussed more fully in Note 17 in Item 1 of Part I, we have restated our Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This managements discussion and analysis
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes appearing
elsewhere in this report and in the 2005 Form 10-K.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended September 30, 2006 vs. Three months ended September 30, 2005
Consolidated net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006 totaled $1,059.8 million, a
0.8% increase over the third quarter of 2005. This increase occurred while light-vehicle
production was down 8% in North America and up about 3% worldwide from the previous years quarter.
Light-vehicle production increased approximately 9% in Asia-Pacific and approximately 2% in
26
Europe. The impact of foreign currency increased third quarter 2006 net sales by approximately $30
million compared to third quarter 2005.
Gross profit and gross margin were $183.3 million and 17.3% for the third quarter 2006 as compared
to $208.2 million and 19.8% for the third quarter 2005. Our gross margin continued to be
negatively impacted by higher raw material costs including nickel, steel, copper, aluminum and
plastic resin. Raw material costs increased approximately $13 million as compared to the third
quarter 2005, of which nickel was the single largest contributor. Our focused cost reduction and
commodity hedging programs in our operations partially offset these higher raw material and energy
costs. Our gross margin was also negatively impacted by significant declines in customer
production levels in the U.S. market.
The rising cost of providing pension and other postretirement benefits continues to impact our
industry. To partially address this issue, the Company adjusted certain retiree medical plans
effective April 2006. Because of this adjustment, along with cost reduction initiatives implemented
at other subsidiaries, other postretirement benefit costs for the three months ended September 30,
2006 decreased by $2.1 million from the same period in the prior year.
Third quarter selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs decreased $3.2 million to $116.8
million from $120.0 million, and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 11.0% from 11.4%. The
decrease in SG&A was largely the result of cost cutting efforts and reductions in incentive
related compensation. R&D costs, which were included in SG&A expenses, increased $6.3 million to
$46.2 million from $39.9 million as compared to the third quarter of 2005. The increase was
primarily driven by our continued investment in a number of cross-business R&D programs, as well as
other key programs, all of which were necessary for short and long-term growth. As a percentage of
sales, R&D costs increased to 4.4% from 3.8% in the third quarter of 2005.
On September 22, 2006, in response to a significant decline in North American auto industry
production, the Company announced the reduction of its North American workforce by approximately
850 people, or 13%, spread across its 19 operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The
restructuring expense recognized for employee termination benefits was $6.7 million. The
corresponding liability of $6.7 million will be substantially paid out prior to the end of 2006.
In addition to the employee termination costs, the Company recorded $4.8 million of asset
impairment charges related to the North American restructuring. The restructuring expenses broken
out by segment were as follows: Engine $7.3 million, Drivetrain $3.6 million and Corporate $0.6
million.
Other (income) loss for the third quarter of 2006 was $(5.6) million compared to $(2.3) million in
the third quarter of 2005. The third quarter of 2006 was comprised primarily of the realization of
an additional $4.9 million gain from a previous divestiture and $0.4 million of interest income.
The third quarter of 2005 included $0.2 million of interest income.
Equity in affiliate earnings of $7.8 million increased $2.1 million as compared to the third
quarter of 2005 due to increased sales and performance at our joint ventures, which more than
offset unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.
27
Third quarter interest expense and finance charges of $9.5 million were relatively flat compared
with the third quarter of 2005 as lower outstanding debt levels during 2006 offset rising global
interest rates.
The Companys provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year
applied to U.S. federal, state and foreign income. The projected effective tax rate of 27.0% for
2006 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign rates, which differ from those
in the U.S., and favorable permanent differences between book and tax treatment for items,
including equity in affiliate earnings and Medicare prescription drug benefits. This rate is
higher than the full year 2005 effective tax rate of 17.5% because the 2005 rate included the
release of tax accrual accounts upon conclusion of certain tax audits and the tax effects of
dispositions. The 2006 projected effective tax rate of 27.0% is lower than the 2005 tax rate of
27.8% for on-going operations. This is due to the year over year reduction in U.S. pretax income
for on-going operations, which is taxed at a higher rate than the Companys global average tax
rate.
Net earnings were $39.2 million for the third quarter of 2006, or $0.68 per diluted share, a
decrease of $0.39 per diluted share from the previous years third quarter. Operating results in
the third quarter of 2006 of $0.81 of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were down $0.21 per
diluted share versus the same period a year ago. The Company was negatively impacted by a
significant reduction in customer production schedules in the U.S. market and
increased costs for raw materials, principally nickel. The Company believes the following table is
useful for comparison with on-going results from prior reporting periods. It details a number of
non-recurring or non-comparable items that impacted earnings per diluted share in 2006 and 2005, and reconciles
non-GAAP amounts to the most directly comparable GAAP amounts:

Nine months ended September 30, 2006 vs. Nine months ended September 30, 2005
Consolidated net sales for the first nine months ended September 30, 2006 totaled $3,383.7 million,
a 4.2% increase over the first nine months of 2005. This increase occurred while light-vehicle
production was up about 5% worldwide and down 1% in North America from the previous years first
nine months. Light-vehicle production increased approximately 9% in Asia-Pacific and 2% in Europe.
The net sales increase was partially offset by the effect of weaker currencies, primarily the Euro
and the Japanese Yen, by
28
approximately $15 million. Turbochargers, timing chain systems, ignition
systems and automatic transmission components and systems are the products most affected by
currency fluctuations in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Without the currency impact, the increase in net
sales would have been 4.7% due to strong demand for the Companys products in Europe and
Asia-Pacific.
Gross profit and gross margin were $637.7 million and 18.8% for the first nine months of 2006 as
compared to $654.3 million and 20.2% for the first nine months of 2005. Our gross margin continued
to be negatively impacted by higher raw material costs including nickel, steel, copper, aluminum
and plastic resin. Raw material costs increased approximately $25 million as compared to the first
nine months of 2005, of which nickel was the single largest contributor. Our focused cost reduction
programs in our operations partially offset these higher raw material and energy costs. Our gross
margin was also negatively impacted by significant declines in customer production levels in the
U.S. market.
The rising cost of providing pension and other postretirement benefits continues to impact our
industry. To partially address this issue, the Company adjusted certain retiree medical plans
effective April 1, 2006, as well as implemented cost reduction initiatives at other subsidiaries.
As a result of the adjustments, expenses for other postretirement benefits for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 were slightly lower than the expense recognized in the first
nine months of 2005. The Company expects the full year 2006 other postretirement expense to be
slightly lower than the full year 2005 expense.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs for the first nine months of 2006 decreased
$15.2 million to $370.6 million from $385.8 million, and decreased as a percentage of net sales to
11.0% from 11.9%. The decrease in SG&A was the result of cost cutting efforts, reduction in
incentive related compensation and $9.6 million in one-time write-offs in the prior year related to
the 2005 acquisition of Beru. R&D costs, which were included in SG&A expenses, increased $19.1
million to $140.1 million from $121.0 million as compared to the first nine months of 2005. The
increase was primarily driven by our continued investment in a number of cross-business R&D
programs, as well as other key programs, all of which were necessary for short and long-term
growth. As a percentage of sales, R&D costs increased to 4.1% from 3.7% in the first nine months
of 2005.
On September 22, 2006, in response to a significant decline in North American auto industry
production, the Company announced the reduction of its North American workforce by approximately
850 people, or 13%, spread across its 19 operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The
restructuring expense recognized for employee termination benefits was $6.7 million. The
corresponding liability of $6.7 million will be substantially paid out prior to the end of 2006.
In addition to the employee termination costs, the Company recorded $4.8 million of asset
impairment charges related to the North American restructuring. The restructuring expenses broken
out by segment were as follows: Engine $7.3 million, Drivetrain $3.6 million and Corporate $0.6
million.
Other (income) loss for the first nine months of 2006 was $(6.8) million and was comprised
primarily of the realization of an additional $4.9 million gain
29
from a previous divestiture and
interest income of $2.1 million. Other (income) loss for the first nine months of 2005 was $35.7
million and included a $45.5 million charge related to the Crystal Springs settlement and interest
income of $4.2 million.
Equity in affiliate earnings of $26.3 million increased $8.6 million as compared to the first nine
months of 2005 due to the combined effects of improved operating results of affiliates in 2006 and
the impact of adjustments made in the first quarter of 2005 to the carrying values of the equity
investments.
Interest expense and finance charges of $28.8 million in the first nine months of 2006 were flat
compared with the first nine months of 2005 as lower outstanding debt levels during 2006 offset
rising global interest rates.
The Companys provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year
applied to U.S. federal, state and foreign income. The projected effective tax rate of 27.0% for
2006 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign rates, which differ from those
in the U.S., and favorable permanent differences between book and tax treatment for items,
including equity in affiliate earnings and Medicare prescription drug benefits. This rate is
higher than the full year 2005 effective tax rate of 17.5% because the 2005 rate included the
release of tax accrual accounts upon
conclusion of certain tax audits and the tax effects of dispositions. The 2006 projected effective
tax rate of 27.0% is lower than the 2005 tax rate of 27.8% for on-going operations. This is due to
the year over year reduction in U.S. pretax income for on-going operations, which is taxed at a
higher rate than the Companys global average tax rate.
Net earnings were $170.7 million for the first nine months of 2006, or $2.95 per diluted share, a
decrease of $0.10 per diluted share from the previous years first nine months. Operating results
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of $3.16 of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were
up $0.04 per diluted share versus the same period a year ago. The Company was negatively impacted
by a significant reduction in customer production schedules in the U.S. market and increased costs
for raw materials, principally nickel. The Company believes the following table is useful for
comparison with on-going results from prior reporting periods. It details a number of

Reportable Operating Segments
The Companys business is comprised of two operating segments: Engine and Drivetrain. These
reportable segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents
a specific grouping of related automotive components and systems. Effective January 1, 2006, the
Company assigned an operating facility previously reported in the Engine segment to the Drivetrain
segment due to changes in the facilitys product mix. Prior period segment amounts have been
re-classified to conform to the current years presentation.
The Company allocates resources to each segment based upon the projected after-tax return on
invested capital (ROIC) of its business initiatives. The ROIC is comprised of projected earnings
before interest and income taxes (EBIT) adjusted for income taxes compared to the projected
average capital investment required.
EBIT is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a
numerical measure of a companys financial performance, financial position or cash flows that
excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBIT is defined as earnings before
interest, income taxes and minority interest. Earnings is intended to mean net earnings as
presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under GAAP.
The Company believes that EBIT is useful to demonstrate the operational profitability of our
segments by excluding interest and income taxes, which are generally accounted for across the
entire Company on a consolidated basis. EBIT is also one of the measures used by the Company to
determine resource allocation within the Company. Although the Company believes that EBIT enhances
understanding of our business and performance, it should not be considered an alternative to, or
more meaningful than, net earnings or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with
GAAP.

Three months ended September 30, 2006 vs. Three months ended September 30, 2005
The Engine segment net sales increased $36.4 million, or 5.2%, and segment earnings before interest
and income taxes decreased $18.0 million, or 19.1%, from the three months ended September 30, 2005.
The segment continued to benefit from Asian automaker demand for turbochargers and timing systems,
European automaker demand for turbochargers, timing systems, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
valves and diesel engine ignition systems, the continued roll-out of its variable cam timing
systems with General Motors high-value V6 engines, stronger EGR valve sales in North America, and
higher turbocharger and thermal products sales due to stronger global commercial vehicle
production. Segment EBIT margin was 10.3% in the period, down from 13.4% in the prior, due to the
significant reduction in customer production schedules in the U.S. market and increased costs for
raw materials, principally nickel.
The Drivetrain segment net sales decreased $28.7 million, or 8.0%, and segment earnings before
interest and income taxes decreased $10.6 million, or 44.5%, from the three months ended September
30, 2005. The segment continued to benefit from growth outside of North America including the
continued ramp up of dual-clutch transmission and torque transfer product sales in Europe. In the
U.S., the group was negatively impacted by sharply lower production of light trucks and SUVs
equipped with its torque transfer products and lower sales of its traditional transmission
products. Segment EBIT margin was 4.0% in the period, down from 6.6% in the prior year, due to the
significant reduction in customer production schedules in the U.S. market and increased costs for
raw materials.
Nine months ended September 30, 2006 vs. Nine months ended September 30, 2005
The Engine segment net sales increased $159.6 million, or 7.4%, and segment earnings before
interest and income taxes increased $9.7 million, or 3.8%, from the first nine months of 2005.
Excluding the one-time write-off in the first half of 2005 of the excess purchase price associated
with Berus in-process R&D, the Engine segment earnings before interest and income taxes were flat
with the prior year. The Engine segment continued to benefit from Asian automaker demand for
turbochargers and timing systems, European automaker demand for timing systems, exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) valves and diesel engine ignition systems, the continued roll-out of its
variable cam timing systems with General Motors high-value V6 engines, stronger EGR valve sales in
North America, and higher turbocharger and thermal products sales due to stronger global commercial
vehicle production. The segment EBIT margin was 11.6% in the period, down from 12.4% in the prior
year, which excludes the one-time write-off in the first half of 2005 of the excess purchase price
associated with Berus in-process R&D, due to the significant reduction in customer production
schedules in the U.S. market and increased costs for raw materials, principally nickel.
The Drivetrain segment net sales decreased $24.3 million, or 2.2%, and segment earnings before
interest and income taxes decreased $15.5 million, or 19.4%, from the first nine months of 2005.
The segment continued to benefit from growth outside of North America including the continued ramp
up of dual-clutch transmission and torque transfer product sales in Europe. In the U.S.,
33
the group
was negatively impacted by lower production of light trucks and
SUVs equipped with its torque transfer products and lower sales of its traditional transmission
products. Segment EBIT margin was 5.9% in the period, down from 7.2% in the prior year, due to the
significant reduction in customer production schedules in the U.S. market and increased costs for
raw materials.
Outlook for the remainder of 2006
The Company is cautious about the remainder of 2006 as the industry environment remains difficult.
The recent volatility in commodity prices coupled with domestic automaker volume decreases and
restructurings have made the macro-environment uncertain. North American light truck and SUV sales
are expected to continue to show weakness during the rest of 2006. We anticipate commodity cost
increases will be approximately $40 million for 2006 including nickel, steel, copper and aluminum,
approximately $25 million of which has been incurred in the first nine months of 2006. This is an
increase of $15 million from expectations at the end of the previous quarter, and is a result of
rising prices of nickel. The Company continues to focus on its cost reduction efforts to help
offset this market weakness and the effects of commodity cost increases.
Due to significant declines in customer production schedules in the U.S. market, the Company
announced on September 22, 2006, a 13% reduction in its North American work force. The Company
incurred a $0.15 per share charge related to the restructuring. The Company continues to review
alternatives for further improving profitability of our North American operations, particularly
those most impacted by lower production levels for light trucks and SUVs.
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 longer-term growth are expected to continue, including the growth
of diesel engines worldwide, the increased adoption of automatic transmissions in Europe and
Asia-Pacific, the popularity of cross-over vehicles in North America and the move to chain engine
timing systems in both Europe and Asia-Pacific, offset by a continued decline in North American
light truck and SUV-related products.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $9.9 million to $270.7 million for the first
nine months of 2006 from $260.8 million in the first nine months of 2005. Capital spending,
including tooling outlays, was $191.9 million in the first nine months of 2006, compared with
$179.7 million in 2005. Selective capital spending remains an area of focus for the Company, both
in order to support our book of new business, and for cost reductions and productivity
improvements. The Company expects to spend $280 million to $310 million on capital and tooling in
2006, but this expectation is subject to ongoing review based on market conditions.
34
As of September 30, 2006, total debt increased from year-end 2005 by $22.5 million and cash and
cash equivalents decreased by $22.7 million, primarily
due to the $64.4 million third quarter 2006 acquisition of the European Transmission and Engine
Controls product lines from Eaton Corporation. Marketable securities increased by $30.7 million
during the same period. Our debt to capital ratio was 27.4% at the end of the third quarter versus
29.4% at the end of 2005. The Company paid dividends, including to minority shareholders as

The Company securitizes and sells certain receivables through third party financial
institutions without recourse. The amount sold can vary each month based on the amount of
underlying receivables. At both September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company had sold $50 million of
receivables under a Receivables Transfer Agreement for face value without recourse. During both of
the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, total cash proceeds from sales of
accounts receivable were $450 million. The Company paid servicing fees related to these
receivables for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 of $0.7 million and
$2.0 million and $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. These amounts are recorded in
interest expense and finance charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company has a multi-currency revolving credit facility, which provides for committed borrowings
up to $600.0 million through July 2009. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $90.0 million
and $15.0 million, respectively, of borrowings under the facility was outstanding. The credit
agreement is subject to the usual terms and conditions applied by banks to investment grade
companies. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2006 and expects to
be compliant in future periods. The 7% Senior Notes with a face value of $139.0 million mature on
November 1, 2006. Management plans to refinance this amount at that time. The Company had
outstanding letters of credit of $27.0 million at September 30, 2006 and $25.7 million at December
31, 2005. The letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties
in accordance with specified terms and conditions.
From a credit quality perspective, we have an investment grade credit rating of A- from Standard &
Poors and Baa2 from Moodys. On September 25, 2006, Standard & Poors affirmed the Companys
credit rating while revising the outlook from stable to negative. On September 27, 2006, Moodys
also affirmed the Companys credit rating while revising the outlook from positive to stable.
The Company believes that the combination of cash balances, cash flow from operations, available
credit facilities and universal shelf registration will be sufficient to satisfy its cash needs for
the current level of operations
35
and planned operations for the remainder of 2006. The Company expects that net cash provided by
operating activities will be approximately $425 million in 2006.
OTHER MATTERS
Contingencies
In the normal course of business the Company and its subsidiaries are parties 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 and its subsidiaries will ultimately be successful in any of
these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what the impact might be. The Companys
environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed separately below. The Companys
management does not expect that the results in any of these legal proceedings will have a material
adverse effect on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
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 35 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 large 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; remediation alternatives; estimated
legal fees; and other factors), the Company has established an accrual for indicated environmental
liabilities with a balance at September 30, 2006 of $14.9 million. Excluding the Crystal Springs
site discussed below for which $5.2 million has been accrued, the Company has accrued amounts that
do not exceed $3.0 million related to any individual site and management does not believe that the
costs related to any of these other individual sites will have a material adverse effect on the
Companys results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. The Company expects to pay out
substantially all of the $14.9 million accrued environmental liability over the next three to five
years.
36
In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation, the Company agreed to indemnify the
buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities relating to the past operations of
Kuhlman Electric. The liabilities at issue result from operations of Kuhlman Electric that
pre-date the Companys acquisition of Kuhlman Electrics parent company, Kuhlman Corporation, in
1999. During 2000, Kuhlman Electric notified the Company that it discovered potential
environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant while undertaking an
expansion of the plant. The Company is continuing to work with the Mississippi Department of
Environmental Quality and Kuhlman Electric to investigate and remediate to the extent necessary, if
any, historical contamination at the plant and surrounding area. Kuhlman Electric and others,
including the Company, were sued in numerous related lawsuits, in which multiple claimants alleged
personal injury and property damage.
The Company and other defendants, including the Companys subsidiary, Kuhlman Corporation, entered
into a settlement in July 2005 regarding approximately 90% of personal injury and property damage
claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination. In exchange for, among other things,
the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits, the defendants agreed to pay a total sum of up to
$39.0 million in settlement funds. The settlement was paid in three approximately equal
installments. The first two payments of $12.9 million were made in the third and fourth quarters
of 2005 and $13.0 million was paid in the first quarter of 2006.
The same group of defendants entered into a settlement in October 2005 regarding approximately 9%
of personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination.
In exchange for, among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits, the defendants
agreed to pay a total sum of up to $5.4 million in settlement funds. The settlement was paid in
two approximately equal installments in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006.
With this settlement, the Company and other defendants have resolved about 99% of the known
personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination.
The cost of this settlement has been recorded in other income in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligations an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
143, which requires the Company to recognize legal obligations to perform asset retirements in
which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not
be within the control of the entity. Certain government regulations require the removal and
disposal of asbestos from an existing facility at the time the facility undergoes major renovations
or is demolished. The liability exists because the facility will not last forever, but it is
conditional on future renovations, even if there are no immediate plans to remove the materials,
which pose no health or safety hazard in their current condition. Similarly, government
regulations require the removal or closure of underground storage tanks (USTs) when their use
ceases, the disposal of
37
polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) transformers and capacitors when their use
ceases, and the disposal of lead-based paint in conjunction with facility
renovations or demolition. The Company currently has 11 manufacturing locations that have been
identified as containing asbestos-related building materials, USTs, PCB transformers or capacitors,
or lead-based paint. The fair value to remove and dispose of this material has been estimated and
recorded at $0.8 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
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. Management believes that the Companys 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 September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately 50,000
pending asbestos-related product liability claims. Of these outstanding claims, approximately
40,000 are pending in just three jurisdictions, where significant tort reform activities are
underway.
The Companys policy is to aggressively 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 the nine months of 2006, of the approximately 20,700 claims resolved, only 132
(0.6%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In 2005,
of the approximately 38,000 claims resolved, only 295 (0.8%) 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 covered by the
Companys primary layer insurance coverage, and these carriers administered, defended, settled and
paid all claims under a funding arrangement. In June 2004, primary layer insurance carriers
notified the Company of the alleged exhaustion of their policy limits. This led the Company to
access the next available layer of insurance coverage. Since June 2004, secondary layer insurers
have paid asbestos-related litigation defense and settlement expenses pursuant to a funding
arrangement. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has a receivable of $8.5 million due to funding
settlements before reimbursement by some of the secondary layer insurers under this arrangement.
The Company is expecting to fully recover these amounts. At September 30, 2006, the Company has an
estimated liability of $34.8 million for future claims resolutions, with a related asset of $34.8
million to recognize the insurance proceeds receivable by the Company for estimated losses related
to claims that have yet to be resolved. Insurance carrier reimbursement of 100% is expected based
on the Companys experience, its insurance contracts and decisions received to date in the
declaratory judgment action referred to below. At December 31, 2005, the comparable value of the
insurance receivable and accrued liability was $41.0 million.

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 currently being
considered at the State and Federal levels.
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. CNA provided the Company with both
primary and additional layer insurance, and, in conjunction with other insurers, is currently
defending and indemnifying the Company in its pending asbestos-related product liability claims.
The lawsuit seeks to determine the extent of insurance coverage available to the Company including
whether the available limits exhaust on a per occurrence or an aggregate basis, and to
determine how the applicable coverage responsibilities should be apportioned. On August 15, 2005,
the Court issued an interim order regarding the apportionment matter. The interim order has the
effect of making insurers responsible for all defense and settlement costs pro rata to
time-on-the-risk, with the pro-ration method to hold the insured harmless for periods of bankrupt
or unavailable coverage. Appeals of the interim order were denied. However, the issue is reserved
for appellate review at the end of the action. In addition to the primary insurance available for
asbestos-related claims, the Company has substantial additional layers of insurance available for
potential future asbestos-related product claims. As such, the Company continues to believe that
its coverage is sufficient to meet foreseeable liabilities.
Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims or the impact of tort
reform legislation being considered at the State and Federal levels, due to the encapsulated nature
of the products, the Companys experiences in aggressively defending and resolving claims in the
past, and the Companys 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 Companys results of operations, cash flows or financial
condition.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 151, Inventory Costs
(FAS 151), which is an amendment of ARB No.43, Chapter 4. FAS 151 provides clarification of accounting
for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material.
Generally, this statement requires that those items be recognized as current period charges. FAS
151 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2006. The adoption of FAS 151 did not have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2006, the FASB issued interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. The interpretation prescribes a
consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for
subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring such tax positions for financial statement
purposes. FIN 48 also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income
taxes. FIN 48 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2007. The Company is currently
assessing the potential impact, if any, on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for the
Company beginning with its quarter ending March 31, 2008. The adoption of FAS 157 is not expected
to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 123(R) (FAS 158). FAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the
funded status of each defined benefit posretirement plan on the balance sheet. The funded status
of all overfunded plans are aggregated and recognized as a noncurrent asset on the balance sheet.
The funded status of all underfunded plans are aggregated and recognized as a current liability, a
noncurrent liability, or a combination of both on the balance sheet. A current liability is the
amount by which the actuarial present value of benefits included in the benefit obligation in the
next 12 months exceeds the fair value of plan assets, and is determined on a plan-by-plan basis.
FAS 158 also requires the measurement date of a plans assets and its obligations to be the
employers fiscal year-end date, for which the Company already complies. Additionally, FAS 158
requires an employer to recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement
plan in the year in which the change occurs. FAS 158 is effective for the Company as of December
31, 2006. As the Company measures its plan assets and obligations as of December 31, 2006, the
Company is not able to determine the impact that the adoption of FAS 158 will have on its condensed
consolidated financial statements until that time. However, if the Company had adopted FAS 158 as
of December 31, 2005, the Company would have recognized a $48 million noncurrent asset, a $39
million current liability, an increase to noncurrent liabilities of $382 million, and a decrease to
stockholders equity of $237 million, on an after tax basis.

Recent Development
On October 20, 2006, the Company announced a $0.16 per share dividend to be paid on November 15,
2006 to stockholders of record on November 1, 2006.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained in this Managements 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 that are based on managements current expectations, estimates and
projections. Words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, estimates,
variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are
difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of the Company, that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed, projected or implied in or by the
forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include: fluctuations in domestic or
foreign vehicle production, the continued use of outside suppliers, fluctuations in demand for
vehicles containing the Companys products, general economic conditions, as well as other risks
detailed in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Risk
Factors, identified in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The Company does
not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to our exposures related to market risk as stated in the December 31,
2005 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of
the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring
that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. 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 likely to materially affect, our 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 Companys business or relating to matters for
which the Company may have a contractual indemnity obligation. See Note 15 Contingencies to the
condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of environmental, product liability
and other litigation, which is incorporated herein by reference.
A declaratory judgment action was filed by a subsidiary of the Company, BorgWarner Diversified
Transmission Products Inc. (DTP), in January 2006 in the United States District Court, Southern
District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, against the United Automobile, Aerospace, and
Agricultural Implements Workers of America, Local No. 287 and Gerald Poor, individually and as the
representative of a defendant class. DTP is seeking the Courts affirmation that DTP did not
violate the Labor-Management Relations Act of 1947 (LMRA) or the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act (ERISA) by adjusting certain retirees medical plans, effective April 1, 2006. DTP
believes that it is within its right to adjust the plans and that it will be successful on the
merits of the lawsuit, although there can be no guarantee of success in any litigation.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the risk factors detailed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companys December 31,
2005 Form 10-K, the Company is also impacted by the following risk factors.
We are impacted by the rising cost of providing pension and other postretirement benefits.
The automotive industry, like other industries, continues to be impacted by the rising cost of
providing pension and other postretirement benefits. To partially address this impact, we adjusted
certain retiree medical plans effective April 1, 2006 to provide certain participating retirees with
continued access to group health coverage while reducing our subsidy of the program. (See Item 1.
Legal Proceedings above, for information on litigation related to this adjustment.)
Certain defined benefit pension plans we sponsor are currently underfunded.
We sponsor certain defined benefit pension plans worldwide that are underfunded and will require
cash payments. Additionally, if the performance of the assets in our pension plans does not meet
our expectations, or if other actuarial assumptions are modified, our required contributions may be
higher than we expect. See Note 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2005 and New Accounting Pronouncements in Item 2. Managements Discussions and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The effect of these and other risk factors on our financial performance is
discussed in Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
