Full Year 2017 Guidance: The company has reaffirmed its 2017 full year guidance. Full year net sales are expected to be $8.81billion - $9.04 billion, implying organic sales growth of 3.5% to 6.0%. Foreign currencies are expected to lower sales by $320 million, due to the depreciation of the Euro, Yuan and Pound. The sale of the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business will lower sales by approximately $235 million. Net earnings are expected to be within a range of $3.35 to $3.45 per diluted share. Excluding the impact of non-comparable items, operating margin is expected to improve by 40 to 50 basis points.
First Quarter 2017 Guidance: The company has reaffirmed its 2017 first quarter guidance. The company expected organic net sales growth of 2.5% to 6.5% compared with first quarter 2016 net sales of $2.27 billion. Foreign currencies are expected to lower sales by $60 million, or -2.7%. The Remy light vehicle aftermarket sale will lower revenue by $70 million. Net earnings are expected to be within a range of $0.81 to $0.85 per diluted share.
Financial Results: Net sales were $2,259 million in fourth quarter 2016, up 6.4% from $2,123 million in fourth quarter 2015. Net loss in the quarter was $(293) million, or $(1.39) per basic share, compared with earnings of $125 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in fourth quarter 2015. Net loss in fourth quarter 2016 included non-comparable items of $(2.23) per diluted share. Net earnings in the fourth quarter 2015 included net non-comparable items of $(0.21) per diluted share. These items are listed in a table below, which is provided by the company for comparison with other results and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. The impact of foreign currencies decreased net sales by approximately $40 million and decreased net earnings by approximately $0.02 per diluted share in fourth quarter 2016 compared with fourth quarter 2015.
Full year 2016 net sales were $9,071 million, up 13.1% from $8,023 million in 2015. Full year 2016 net earnings were $119 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared with $610 million, or $2.70 per diluted share, in 2015. Full year 2016 net earnings included net non-comparable items of $(2.72) per diluted share. Full year 2015 included net non-comparable items of $(0.34) per diluted share. These items are listed in a table below as reconciliations of non-U.S. GAAP measures, which are provided by the company for comparison with other results, and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. The impact of foreign currencies decreased net sales by approximately $111 million and decreased net earnings by approximately $0.05 per diluted share in 2016 compared with 2015.

The company’s fourth quarter GAAP results included a $703.6 million, or $440.6 million after tax ($2.07 EPS impact), charge related to indemnity and defense costs for pending and future asbestos-related claims. Details of this charge include:
| |

| |
| • | The cash settlements with asbestos-related claims are already reflected in the company’s operating cash flow, and have been since 2004. |
| |
| • | This amount is based on an undiscounted estimate of indemnity and defense costs that may be incurred at one of the company’s subsidiaries on account of pending and potential future asbestos-related claims that may be asserted for the next 50 years (through 2067). |
| |
| • | The company paid indemnity and related defense costs totaling $45.3 million and $54.7 million, excluding tax benefits and any insurance receipts, in 2016 and 2015, respectively. |
| |
| • | A similar level of indemnity and related defense costs is incorporated into the company’s free cash flow guidance. |
