Dana also owns Dana Credit Corporation (DCC), a leading provider of lease financing services in certain markets. Dana's Vehicular segment is comprised of components and parts used on light, medium and heavy trucks, sport utility vehicles, trailers, vans and automobiles. The Company's products include components for drivetrain systems, such as axles and driveshafts; engine parts, such as gaskets and sealing systems, piston rings, and filtration products; structural components, such as vehicular frames, engine cradles and rails; and chassis products, such as steering and suspension components. In 1997, sales from this segment accounted for 76% of Dana's sales. The Company's Industrial segment products are used in off-highway vehicle and stationary equipment applications. These products include components for industrial power transmission products, such as electrical and mechanical brakes and clutches, drives and motion control devices and fluid power systems, such as pumps, cylinders and control valves. Sales from this segment amounted to 24% of the Company's 1997 sales. Dana's Lease Financing segment is almost exclusively comprised of the operations of DCC which offers lease financing services in the form of capital markets specialized lease transactions worldwide and customized equipment financing programs in the United States (U.S.), Canada, the United Kingdom and continental Europe. The revenue derived from such services is included in Revenue from Lease Financing and Other Income in Dana's financial statements and is not considered a component of net sales. "Note 16. Business Segments" at pages 34 - 36 of Dana's 1997 Annual Report is incorporated herein by reference. GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS - ------------------- The Company maintains four regional structures - North America, Europe, South America and Asia/Pacific - to facilitate financial and statutory reporting and tax compliance on a worldwide basis. The regional structures also provide administrative support to the six Strategic Business Units (SBUs) - Automotive Components, Engine Components, Heavy Truck Components, Industrial Components, Off-Highway Components and Leasing Services - established in 1997 to better serve Dana's global markets. The Company's operations are located in the following countries: North America Europe South America Asia/Pacific ------------- ------ ------------- ------------- Canada Austria Poland Argentina Australia Malaysia Mexico Belgium Spain Brazil China Singapore United States France Sweden Colombia Hong Kong Taiwan Germany Switzerland Uruguay Japan Thailand India United Kingdom Venezuela Korea New Zealand Italy Netherlands Dana's international subsidiaries and affiliates manufacture and sell a number of vehicular and industrial products which are similar to those produced by Dana in the U.S. In addition to normal business risks, operations outside the U.S. are subject to other risks including, among others, changing political, economic and social environments, changing governmental laws and regulations, currency revaluations and market fluctuations. Consolidated international sales were $2.3 billion, or 28% of the Company's 1997 sales. Including U.S. exports of $697 million, international sales accounted for 36% of 1997 consolidated sales. International operating income was $109 million, or 17% of consolidated 1997 operating income. In addition, there was $27 million of equity in earnings of international affiliates in 1997. "Note 6. International Operations" at page 30 of Dana's 1997 Annual Report is incorporated herein by reference. See also "Note 16. Business Segments" at pages 34-36 of Dana's 1997 Annual Report. 3 4 MARKETS - ------- During the past three years, Dana's sales to Vehicular and Industrial original equipment (OE) manufacturers and the related service parts markets were as follows: Market Analysis by Business Segment* Percentage of Consolidated Sales ------------------------------------- 1995 1996 1997 ---- ---- ---- Vehicular Products- OE Manufacturers 58% 58% 58% Service Parts 22% 22% 18% ---- ---- ---- Total 80% 80% 76% Industrial Products- OE Manufacturers 10% 10% 14% Service parts 10% 10% 10% ---- ---- ---- Total 20% 20% 24% *Note: End use of products is not always identifiable but these are reasonable estimates derived from expected customer usages. Sales in the Lease Financing segment consisted of real estate sales and did not exceed 1% of consolidated sales for 1995, 1996 or 1997. Lease financing revenues (amounting to less than 5% of Dana's consolidated 1997 total revenues) have been excluded from this market analysis. CUSTOMER DEPENDENCE - ------------------- The Company has thousands of customers around the world and has developed long-standing business relationships with many of these customers. The Company's attention to cost, as well as quality, delivery and service, has been recognized by numerous customers who have awarded the Company supplier quality awards. Ford Motor Company (Ford) and Chrysler Corporation (Chrysler) were the only customers accounting for more than 10% of the Company's consolidated sales in 1997. The Company has been supplying product to Ford, Chrysler and their subsidiaries for many years. Sales to Ford, as a percentage of the Company's sales, were 17%, 16% and 17% in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Sales to Chrysler, as a percentage of sales, were 13%, 14% and 14% in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Loss of all or a substantial portion of the Company's sales to Ford, Chrysler or other large volume customers would have a significant adverse effect on the Company's financial results until this lost sales volume could be replaced. 4 5 PRODUCTS - -------- The major groups of products within the Vehicular segment are as follows: Major Product Groups - Vehicular Segment Percentage of Consolidated Sales ---------------------------------------- 1995 1996 1997 ---- ---- ---- Types of Products - ----------------- Vehicular products for highway vehicles, primarily trucks Front and rear axles 30% 30% 29% Engine parts and accessories 13% 12% 15% Driveshafts and universal joints 10% 11% 12% Frames and other structural components 8% 9% 10% Other Vehicular products 19% 18% 10% -- -- -- Total 80% 80% 76% No product or product group within the Industrial or Lease Financing segments exceeded 10% of consolidated sales during these periods. 5 6 MATERIAL SOURCE AND SUPPLY - -------------------------- Most raw materials (such as steel) and semi-processed or finished items (such as forgings and castings) are purchased from long-term suppliers located within the geographic regions of the Dana operating units. Generally, these materials are available from numerous sources in quantities needed by the Company. Temporary shortages of a particular material or part occasionally occur, but the overall availability of materials is not considered to be a significant risk factor by the Company. SEASONALITY - ------------ Dana's businesses are not considered to be seasonal, but the OE vehicular businesses are closely related to the vehicle manufacturers' production schedules. BACKLOG - ------- The majority of Dana's products are not on a backlog status. They are produced from readily available materials and have a relatively short manufacturing cycle. Each operating unit of the Company maintains its own inventories and production schedules, and many products are available from more than one facility. Production capacity is adequate to handle current requirements; anticipated growth in Dana's product lines is regularly reviewed to determine when additional capacity may be needed. COMPETITION - ----------- In its Vehicular and Industrial segments, the Company competes worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors which produce and sell similar products. These competitors include vertically-integrated units of the Company's major vehicular OE customers and a number of independent U.S. and international suppliers. The Company's traditional U.S. OE customers, in response to substantial international competition in the past few years, have expanded their worldwide sourcing of components while reducing their overall number of suppliers. The Company has established operations throughout the world to enable Dana to be a strong global supplier of its core products. In the Lease Financing segment, the Company's primary focus is on leasing activities. The Company's competitors include national and regional leasing and finance organizations. STRATEGY - -------- The Company is actively pursuing two broad strategies, focused around Dana's six customer and market-focused, global SBUs. The first strategy is to significantly reduce the effects of the economic cycle by diversifying the Company's products and reducing its dependence on highway vehicle OE production. Dana's long-term goal is to obtain 50% of sales from highway vehicle OE customers and 50% from distribution, off-highway, service and industrial markets. In 1997, sales from highway vehicle OE customers were 58% of Dana's total, while distribution, off-highway, service and industrial sales were 42%. The Company continues to seek expansion in its off-highway and distribution businesses by increasing market penetration and broadening its product offerings through internal growth and acquisition. The second strategy focuses on obtaining a balance between U.S. and international sales. Dana has well-defined regional organizations in North America, South America, Europe and Asia/Pacific in support of this initiative. In 1997, international sales, including exports from the U.S., totaled 36% of consolidated sales. The Company's long-term goal is to derive 50% of its sales (including exports) from customers outside the U.S. Although this strategy is subject to certain risks, the Company believes broadening its sales base will enable it to offset effects of economic downturns in specific countries, source materials from the areas of the world which offer the lowest cost, and provide access to markets which have the greatest growth potential. To accomplish this objective, the Company is focusing on meeting OE customers' needs in each of the local markets in which those customers operate, both through exports and by locating manufacturing or assembly facilities in markets where key OE customers have assembly plants. As part of the continuing efforts to focus on its core businesses, the Company in 1997 announced or completed nine divestitures of businesses with annual sales of nearly $900 million. The Company also completed the acquisitions of the piston ring and cylinder liner operations of SPX Corporation and the assets of Clark-Hurth Components from Ingersoll-Rand. The Company also announced the acquisition of the global axle and brake business of Eaton Corporation which was completed in January 1998. Refer to "Note 21, Acquisitions" for additional information related to these activities. 6 7 PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS - ---------------------- Dana's proprietary drivetrain, engine parts, chassis, structural components, fluid power systems, and industrial power transmission product lines have strong identities in the Vehicular and Industrial markets which Dana serves. Throughout these product lines, Dana also owns or is licensed to manufacture and sell its products under a number of patents and licenses, which have been obtained over a period of years and expire at various times, Dana considers each of them to be of value and agressively protects its rights throughout the world against infringement. Because the Company is involved with many product lines, the loss or expiration of any particular patent or license would not materially affect the sales and profits of the Company. Dana owns numerous trademarks which are registered in many countries enabling Dana to market its products worldwide. The Dana(R), Spicer(R), Parish(R), Perfect Circle(R), Victor Reinz(R), Wix(R), Weatherhead(R), Warner Electric(R) and Gresen(R) trademarks, among others, are widely recognized in their respective industries. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT - ------------------------ Dana's facilities engage in engineering, research and development, and quality control activities to improve the reliability, performance and cost-effectiveness of Dana's products and to design and develop new products for existing and anticipated applications. The Company employs advanced technology and methods to achieve these improvements. To promote efficiency and reduce development costs, Dana's research and engineering people work closely with OE manufacturing customers on special products and systems designs. Dana's consolidated worldwide expenditures for engineering, research and development, and quality control programs were $149 million in 1995, $164 million in 1996 and $193 million in 1997. EMPLOYMENT - ----------- Dana's worldwide employment (including consolidated subsidiaries) was approximately 47,900 at December 31, 1997. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE - ------------------------ The Company makes capital expenditures in the normal course of business, as necessary to ensure that its facilities are in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Costs of environmental compliance did not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position in 1997, and the Company currently does not anticipate future environmental compliance costs will be material.

Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain environmental proceedings are not deemed to be ordinary routine proceedings incidental to the Company's business and are required to be reported in the Company's annual and/or quarterly reports.
