Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(In millions, except share and per share amounts)

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General

Effective August 1, 2016, Dana Holding Corporation changed its legal name to Dana Incorporated. Dana Incorporated (Dana) is headquartered in Maumee, Ohio and was incorporated in Delaware in 2007. As a global provider of high technology driveline (axles, driveshafts and transmissions), sealing and thermal-management products our customer base includes virtually every major vehicle manufacturer in the global light vehicle, medium/heavy vehicle and off-highway markets.

The terms "Dana," "we," "our" and "us," when used in this report, are references to Dana. These references include the subsidiaries of Dana unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise.

Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation — Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information. These statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 20152016 Form 10-K.

InWe have added the third quarter of 2016, we identified an error attributable to our second quarter 2016 calculation of cash used for purchases of property, plantsubtotal "Income before interest and equipment. While the error had no impact on the total net cash flows presented for the period it did result in a misclassification between net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities. Purchases of property, plant and equipment previously presented for the six months ended June 30, 2016 should have been $18 lower with a corresponding offset to the change in working capital. Based on our assessments of qualitative and quantitative factors, the error and related impacts were not considered to be materialincome taxes" to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1statement of Part Ioperations. Interest income, interest expense and loss on extinguishment of our June 30, 2016 Form 10-Q. Purchases of property, plant and equipment and change in working capital fordebt are presented below the six months ended June 30, 2016, will be revised to reflectnew subtotal but above the correction when presented as the comparable period in our June 30, 2017 Form 10-Q. At September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, we had $82 and $42 of purchases of property, plant and equipmentsubtotal "Income before income taxes." Interest income was previously included in accounts payable.

In the first quarter of 2015, we identified an error attributableOther expense, net. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the calculation of noncontrolling interests net income of a subsidiary. The error resulted in an understatement of noncontrolling equity and noncontrolling interests net income and a corresponding overstatement of parent company stockholders' equity and net income attributable to the parent company in prior periods. Based on our assessments of qualitative and quantitative factors, the error and related impacts were not considered material to the financial statements of the prior periods to which they relate. The error was corrected in March 2015 by increasing noncontrolling interests net income by $9. The correction was not considered material to our 2015 net income attributable to the parent company.2017 presentation.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In MarchOctober 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-16, Income Taxes – Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory,guidance intendedthat simplifies the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. GAAP had prohibited the recognition in earnings of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity transfer until the asset was sold to simplify various aspectsan outside party or recovered through use. This amendment simplifies the accounting by requiring entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The new guidance, which requires modified retrospective application, becomes effective January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted in 2017 prior to the issuance of interim financial statements. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of the new guidance resulted in a decrease in Other current assets of $10, a decrease in Other noncurrent assets of $169 and a decrease in Retained earnings at January 1, 2017 of $179.

We also adopted the following standards during the first quarter of 2017, none of which had a material impact on our financial statements or financial statement disclosures:

StandardEffective Date
2016-07Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures – Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of AccountingJanuary 1, 2017
2016-06Derivatives and Hedging – Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt InstrumentsJanuary 1, 2017
2016-05Derivatives and Hedging – Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting RelationshipsJanuary 1, 2017
2015-11Inventory – Simplifying the Measurement of InventoryJanuary 1, 2017

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Retirement Benefits – Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, guidance that requires entities to present the service cost component of net


periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement line items where they report compensation cost. Entities will present all other components of net benefit cost outside operating income, if this subtotal is presented. The rules related to the timing of when costs are recognized or how share-based paymentsthey are accountedmeasured have not changed. This amendment only impacts where those costs are reflected within the income statement. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in inventory and presentedother assets. This guidance becomes effective January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements in the near term as the service components and related net periodic benefit costs are not significantly different.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Goodwill – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, guidance that simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The new guidance quantifies goodwill impairment as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, with the impairment loss limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance becomes effective January 1, 2020 and will be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to impact our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business, guidance that revises the definition of a business. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill impairment and consolidation. When substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or a group of similar assets), the asset acquired would not represent a business. To be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The new guidance provides a framework to evaluate when an input and a substantive process are present. This guidance becomes effective January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted.

In November 2016, the FASB released ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash, guidance that addresses income tax effects of share-based payments, tax withholding requirements, recognition for forfeituresthe diversity in practice in the classification and presentation requirementsof changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance becomes effective January 1, 2017 with earlier adoption permitted. We elected to adopt the new2018 and must be applied on a retrospective basis. This guidance in the third quarter of 2016, requiring us to reflect any adjustments as of January 1, 2016 in retained earnings. The primary impact of adopting the new guidance was an increase in deferred tax assets of $32 related to the cumulative excess tax benefits resulting from share-based payments. Previous guidance resulted in credits to equity for such tax benefits and delayed recognition until the tax benefits reduced income taxes payable. Because we continue to carry a valuation allowance against certain of our deferred tax assets in the U.S., the increase in deferred tax assets was offset by an increase in our valuation allowance of $32, resulting in no impact to retained earnings as of January 1, 2016. With respect to other provisions in the new guidance, our plans currently dois not permit tax withholdings in excess of the statutory minimums and we have elected to continue estimating forfeitures expected to occur when determining the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. The presentation requirements for cash flows under the new standard had nohave a material impact on our consolidated statement of cash flows.



In September 2015, the FASB issued an amendment that eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments in accounting for business combinations. Entities must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. This guidance became effective January 1, 2016 and requires prospective application to qualifying business combinations.

In May 2015, the FASB issued guidance that modifies disclosures related to investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value (or its equivalent) per share practical expedient by eliminating the requirement to categorize such assets under the fair value hierarchy. The new guidance also eliminates the requirement to include in certain disclosures those investments that are merely eligible to be measured using the practical expedient, limiting the disclosures to those investments actually valued under that approach. This guidance became effective January 1, 2016 and requires retrospective application. We believe that this guidance will result in substantially all of the hedge fund of funds and real estate investments held by our pension plans being removed from the fair value hierarchy within our year-end pension disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to provide explicit guidance about a customer's accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer must account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, then the customer must account for the arrangement as a service contract. We adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2016. Applying the amendment to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance to provide for a practical expedient that permits an entity to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the month end that is closest to the date of a significant event, such as a plan amendment, settlement or curtailment, that calls for a remeasurement in accordance with existing requirements. An entity is required to disclose the accounting policy election and the date used to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2016 and did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB released updated consolidation guidance that entities must use to evaluate specific ownership and contractual arrangements that lead to a consolidation conclusion. The updates could change consolidation outcomes affecting presentation and disclosures. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2016 and did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance to provide clarity on whether to treat a performance target that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition that affects vesting or as a nonvesting condition that affects the grant-date fair value of a share-based payment award. Generally, an award with a performance target also requires an employee to render service until the performance target is achieved. In some cases, however, the terms of an award may provide that the performance target could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period. The amendment requires that a performance target that affects vesting and extends beyond the end of the service period be treated as a performance condition and not as a factor in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2016 and did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In August 2016, the FASB released ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance becomes effective January 1, 2018 and ismust be applied on a retrospective basis. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issuedASU 2016-13, Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on certain financial instruments. This guidance introduces a new approach to estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. This guidance, which becomes effective January 1, 2020, is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued simplification guidance to eliminate the requirement for an entity to retrospectively apply the equity method of accounting upon obtaining significant influence over an investment that it previously accounted for under the cost basis or at fair value. That is, it is no longer required to restate all periods as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The guidance applies to covered transactions that occur after


December 31, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The significance of this guidance for us is dependent on any qualifying future investments.

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options. The amendment clarifies that an exercise contingency does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates to interest rates and credit risk in an embedded derivative analysis. That is, a contingent put or call option embedded in a debt instrument would be evaluated for possible separate accounting as a derivative instrument without regard to the nature of the exercise contingency. This guidance becomes effective January 1, 2017 and must be applied on a modified retrospective basis to all existing and future debt instruments. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the hedge accounting impact when there is a change in one of the counterparties to a derivative contract. The new guidance clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative contract by itself does not require the dedesignation of a hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. This guidance becomes effective January 1, 2018 and can be applied on either a prospective basis or a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issuedASU 2016-02, Leases, its new lease accounting standard. The primary focus of the standard addressesis on the accounting by lessees. This standard requires all lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease) on the balance sheet. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from current GAAP. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern in the income statement. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures are required to provide insight into the extent of revenue and expense recognized and expected to be recognized from leasing arrangements. Approximately three-fourths of our global lease portfolio represents leases of real estate, including manufacturing, assembly and office facilities, while the remainder represents leases of personal property, including manufacturing, material handling and IT equipment. Many factors will impact the ultimate measurement of the lease obligation to be recognized upon adoption, including our assessment of the likelihood of renewal of leases that provide such an option. We continue to evaluate the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. This guidance becomes effective January 1, 2019. Early2019 with early adoption is permitted.

In January 2016, the FASB issuedASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, an amendment that addresses the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of certain financial instruments. Investments in equity securities currently classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income (OCI), will be carried at fair value determined on an exit


price notion and changes in fair value will be reported in net income. The new guidance also affects the assessment of deferred tax assets related to available-for-sale securities, the accounting for liabilities for which the fair value option is elected and the disclosures of financial assets and financial liabilities in the notes to the financial statements. This guidance, which becomes effective January 1, 2018, is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. Current GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. This amendment simplifies the presentation to require that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The guidance does not change the existing requirement that only permits offsetting within a jurisdiction. The change to noncurrent classification will have an impact on working capital. This guidance becomes effective January 1, 2017 and allows for prospective or retrospective application, with appropriate disclosures. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and expect to complete out assessment and early adopt the guidance in the fourth quarter of 2016.

In July 2015, the FASB issued an amendment that changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. This amendment only addresses the measurement of inventory if its value declines or is impaired. The guidance on determining the cost of inventory is not being amended. This guidance becomes effective January 1, 2017 and requires prospective application. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance will have no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issuedASU 2014-09, Revenue – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, guidance that requires companies to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration a company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance will also require new disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In July 2015, the FASB adopted a one-year deferral of this guidance. In March 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to clarify the principal versus agent assessment in a revenue transaction. In April 2016, the FASB finalized amendments on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB finalized amendments on collectibility, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition. This guidance will be effective January 1, 2018 with the option to adopt the standard as


of the original January 1, 2017 effective date.for Dana. The guidance allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. We are currentlyin the process of assessing our customer contracts, identifying contractual provisions that may result in a change in the timing or the amount of revenue recognized in comparison with current guidance, as well as assessing the enhanced disclosure requirements of the new guidance. Under current guidance we generally recognize revenue when products are shipped and risk of loss has transferred to the customer. Under the proposed requirements, the customized nature of some of our products and contractual provisions in many of our customer contracts that provide us with an enforceable right to payment, may require us to recognize revenue prior to the product being shipped to the customer. We are also assessing pricing provisions contained in certain of our customer contracts. Pricing provisions contained in some of our customer contracts represent variable consideration or may provide the customer with a material right, potentially resulting in a different allocation of the transaction price than under current guidance. In addition, we are evaluating how the new guidance may impact our accounting for customer tooling, engineering and design services and pre-production costs. We continue to evaluate the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Acquisitions

USM – Warren — On March 1, 2017, we acquired certain assets and liabilities relating to the Warren, Michigan production unit of U.S. Manufacturing Corporation (USM). The production unit acquired is in the business of manufacturing axle housings, extruded tubular products and machined components for the automotive industry. The acquisition will increase Dana's revenue from light and commercial vehicle manufacturers and will vertically integrate a significant element of Dana's supply chain. It also provides Dana with new lightweight product and process technologies.

USM contributed certain assets and liabilities relating to its Warren, Michigan production unit to Warren Manufacturing LLC (USM – Warren), a newly created legal entity, and Dana acquired all of the company units of USM – Warren. The company units were acquired by Dana free and clear of any liens. We paid $104 at closing, including $25 to effectively settle trade payable obligations originating from product purchases Dana made from USM prior to the acquisition, and have recorded a receivable of$1 to reflect purchase price adjustments determined under the terms of the agreement. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. The purchase consideration and the preliminary allocation to the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired are presented in the following table:

Total purchase consideration $78
   
Accounts receivable - Trade 17
Inventories 9
Other current assets 4
Goodwill 4
Intangibles 33
Property, plant and equipment 50
Accounts payable (35)
Accrued payroll and employee benefits (3)
Other accrued liabilities (1)
Total purchase consideration allocation $78

The purchase consideration and fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and could be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price, additional information obtained regarding liabilities assumed and revisions of provisional estimates of fair values, including but not limited to, the completion of independent appraisals and valuations related to property, plant and equipment and intangibles.



Goodwill recognized in this transaction is primarily attributable to synergies expected to arise after the acquisition and the assembled workforce and is deductible for tax purposes. Intangibles includes $30 allocated to customer relationships and $3 allocated to developed technology. We used the relief from royalty method, an income approach, to value developed technology. We used the multi-period excess earnings method, an income approach, to value customer relationships. We used a replacement cost method to value fixed assets. The developed technology and customer relationship intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eighteen and eleven years, respectively, and property, plant and equipment is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over useful lives ranging from one to twelve years.

The results of operations of the business are reported in our Light Vehicle operating segment from the date of acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, we incurred transaction related expenses totaling $1, which were charged to Other expense, net. The pro forma effects of this acquisition would not materially impact our reported results for any period presented, and as a result no pro forma financial statements are presented. During the first quarter of 2017, the business contributed sales of $11 and a de minimis net loss.

BFP and BPT On February 1, 2017, we acquired 80% ownership interests in Brevini Fluid Power S.p.A. (BFP) and Brevini Power Transmission S.p.A. (BPT) from Brevini Group S.p.A. (Brevini). The acquisition expands our Off-Highway operating segment product portfolio to include technologies for tracked vehicles, doubling our addressable market for off-highway driveline systems and establishing Dana as the only off-highway solutions provider that can manage the power to both move the equipment and perform its critical work functions. This acquisition also brings a platform of technologies that can be leveraged in our light and commercial-vehicle end markets, helping to accelerate our hybridization and electrification initiatives.

We paid $181 at closing, using cash on hand, and intend to refinance debt assumed in the transaction during the first half of 2017. The purchase price is subject to adjustment upon determination of the net indebtedness and net working capital levels of BFP and BPT as of the closing date. The terms of the agreement provide Dana the right to call half of Brevini’s noncontrolling interests in BFP and BPT, and Brevini the right to put half of its noncontrolling interests in BFP and BPT to Dana, assuming Dana does not exercise its call right, after the 2017 BFP and BPT financial statements have been approved by the board of directors. Further, Dana has the right to call Brevini’s remaining noncontrolling interests in BFP and BPT, and Brevini the right to put its remaining noncontrolling interests in BFP and BPT to Dana, assuming Dana does not exercise its call right, after the 2019 BFP and BPT financial statements have been approved by the board of directors. The call and put prices are based on the amount Dana paid to acquire its initial 80% interest in BFP and BPT subject to adjustment based on the actual EBITDA and free cash flows, as defined in the agreement, of BFP and BPT.

The purchase consideration and fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and could be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price, additional information obtained regarding liabilities assumed and revisions of provisional estimates of fair values, including but not limited to, the completion of independent appraisals and valuations related to property, plant and equipment and intangibles.

Goodwill recognized in this transaction is primarily attributable to synergies expected to arise after the acquisition and the assembled workforce, is not deductible for tax purposes and will be assigned to and evaluated for impairment at the operating segment level. Intangibles includes $29 allocated to customer relationships and $12 allocated to trademarks and trade names. We used the multi-period excess earnings method, an income approach, to value the customer relationships. We used the relief from royalty method, an income approach, to value customer trademarks and trade names. We used a replacement cost method to value fixed assets. We used a discounted cash flow approach to value the redeemable noncontrolling interests, inclusive of the put and call provisions. We used both discounted cash flow and cost approaches to value the noncontrolling interests. The customer relationships and trademarks and trade names intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 17 years, and property, plant and equipment is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over useful lives ranging from three to 30 years.

The results of operations of the businesses are reported in our Off-Highway operating segment from the date of acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, we incurred transaction related expenses totaling $6, which were charged to Other expense, net. The pro forma effects of this acquisition would not materially impact our reported results for any period presented, and as a result no pro forma financial statements are presented. During the first quarter of 2017, the businesses contributed sales of $69 and a net loss of $2.

SIFCO On December 23, 2016, we acquired strategic assets of SIFCO S.A.'s (SIFCO) commercial vehicle steer axle systems and related forged components businesses. The acquisition enables us to enhance our vertically integrated supply chain, which will further improve our cost structure and customer satisfaction by leveraging SIFCO's extensive experience and knowledge of sophisticated forged components. In addition to strengthening our position as a central source for products that use forged and machined parts throughout the region, this acquisition enables us to better accommodate the local content requirements of our customers, which reduces their import and other region-specific costs.

SIFCO contributed the strategic assets to SJT Forjaria Ltda., a newly created legal entity, and Dana acquired all of the issued and outstanding quotas of SJT Forjaria Ltda. The strategic assets were acquired by Dana free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances. The acquisition was funded using cash on hand and has been accounted for as a business combination. The purchase consideration and the related allocation to the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired are presented in the following table:
Purchase price, cash consideration $60
Purchase price, deferred consideration 9
Total purchase consideration $69
   
Accounts receivable - Trade $1
Accounts receivable - Other 1
Inventories 10
Goodwill 6
Intangibles 3
Property, plant and equipment 59
Accounts payable (2)
Accrued payroll and employee benefits (9)
Total purchase consideration allocation $69

The purchase consideration and fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and could be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price, additional information obtained regarding liabilities assumed and revisions of provisional estimates of fair values, including but not limited to, the completion of independent appraisals and valuations related to property, plant and equipment and intangibles. The deferred consideration, less any claims for indemnification made by Dana, is to be paid on December 23, 2017.

Goodwill recognized in this transaction is primarily attributable to synergies expected to arise after the acquisition and the assembled workforce, and is deductible for tax purposes. Intangibles includes $2 allocated to developed technology and $1 allocated to trade names. We used the relief from royalty method, an income approach, to value developed technology and trade


names. We used a replacement cost method to value fixed assets. The developed technology and trade name intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over seven and five years respectively, and property, plant and equipment is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over useful lives ranging from three to ten years.

The results of operations of the business are reported in our Commercial Vehicle operating segment from the date of acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, we incurred transaction related expenses totaling $5 during 2016, which were charged to Other expense, net. The pro forma effects of this acquisition would not materially impact our reported results for any period presented, and as a result no pro forma financial statements are presented.

MagnumOn January 29, 2016, we acquired the aftermarket distribution business of Magnum® Gaskets (Magnum), a U.S.-based supplier of gaskets and sealing products for automotive and commercial-vehicle applications, for a purchase price of $18 at closing and additional cash payments of up to $2 contingent upon the achievement of certain sales metrics over a future two-year period. As of the closing date of the acquisition, the contingent consideration was assigned a fair value of approximately $1. Assets acquired included trademarks and trade names, customer relationships and goodwill. The results of operations of Magnum are reported within our Power Technologies operating segment. We acquired Magnum using cash on hand. The pro forma effects of this acquisition would not materially impact our reported results for any period presented, and as a result no pro forma financial statements wereare presented.

Note 3. Disposal Groups

Divestiture of Dana Companies On December 30, 2016, we completed the divestiture of Dana Companies, LLC (DCLLC), a consolidated wholly-owned limited liability company that was established as part of our reorganization in 2008 to hold and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Disposal of operations in Venezuela In December 2014, we enteredmanage personal injury asbestos claims retained by the reorganized Dana Corporation which was merged into an agreement to divest our Light Vehicle operations in Venezuela (the disposal group) to an unaffiliated company for no consideration. Upon classification of the disposal group as held for sale in December 2014, we recognized an $80 loss to adjust the carrying value of theDCLLC. DCLLC had net assets of our operations$165 at the time of sale including cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and rights to insurance coverage in Venezuelaplace to fair value less costsatisfy a significant portion of its liabilities. We received cash proceeds of $88 – $29 net of cash divested – with $3 retained by the purchaser subject to sell.the satisfaction of certain future conditions that we expect will be achieved in 2017. We recognized a pre-tax loss of $77 in 2016 upon completion of the transaction. In the event the conditions associated with the retained purchase price of $3 are satisfied in the future, income of $3 will be recognized at such time. Following completion of the sale, Dana has no obligation with respect to current or future asbestos claims.

Upon completionDivestiture of Nippon Reinz — On November 30, 2016, we sold our 53.7% interest in Nippon Reinz Co. Ltd. (Nippon Reinz) to Nichias Corporation. Dana received net cash proceeds of $5 and recognized a pre-tax loss of $3 on the divestiture of Nippon Reinz, inclusive of the disposal group in January 2015, we recognized a$12 gain of $5 on the derecognition of the noncontrolling interest in a former Venezuelan subsidiary in other income, net. We also credited other comprehensive loss attributable to the parent for $10 and other comprehensive loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for $1 to eliminate the unrecognized pension expense recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Impairment of long-lived assets — On February 1, 2011, we entered into an agreement with SIFCO S.A. (SIFCO), a leading producer of steer axles and forged components in South America. In return for payment of $150 to SIFCO, we acquired the distribution rights to SIFCO's commercial vehicle steer axle systems as well as an exclusive long-term supply agreement for key driveline components. Our Commercial Vehicle operating segmentinterest. Nippon Reinz had sales attributable to SIFCO supplied axles and parts of $98 and $225$42 in 2015 and 2014.2016 through the transaction date.

This agreement was accounted for as a business combination for financial reporting purposes. The aggregate fair value of the net assets acquired were allocated primarily to the exclusivity provisions of the supply agreement as a contract-based intangible asset and recorded within our Commercial Vehicle operating segment. Fair value was also allocated to fixed assets and an embedded lease obligation. The intangible asset was being amortized and the fixed assets were being depreciated on a straight-line basis over ten years. The embedded lease obligation was being amortized using the effective interest method over the ten-year useful lives of the related fixed assets.

On April 22, 2014, SIFCO and affiliated companies filed for judicial reorganization before Bankruptcy Court in São Paulo, Brazil and an ancillary Chapter 15 proceeding before the Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York. The Brazilian bankruptcy case has subsequently been moved to the 5th Lower Civil Court in the Judicial District of Jundiai, the location of SIFCO's principal operations. Until the third quarter of 2015, SIFCO complied with the terms of the supply agreement. In August 2015, SIFCO discontinued production of our orders and failed to comply with provisions of the supply agreement. We obtained a judicial injunction requiring that SIFCO release any finished product in their possession that was produced pursuant to the supply agreement, resume production and parts supply pursuant to the terms of the supply agreement and cease communications with our customers regarding direct sale of parts. SIFCO contested the injunction we obtained, without success, and refused to comply with the injunction. Through a judicial seizure order issued on September 9, 2015, we were successful in obtaining the release of the finished product.

Based on SIFCO's refusal to comply with the terms of the supply agreement and the court injunctions as noted above, we believed that the carrying amount of the contract-based intangible asset was not recoverable and therefore tested the associated asset group for impairment as of September 30, 2015 under ASC 360-10. Based upon management's conclusion that there were no future economic benefit and related cash flows associated with the long-lived assets of this asset group, which is comprised predominantly of the intangible asset, management concluded that the fair value of the asset group was de minimis and accordingly recorded a full impairment charge of $36 in the third quarter of 2015.

On October 27, 2015, we entered into an interim agreement with SIFCO under which they have continued to supply us product while pursuing various mutually satisfactory longer-term alternatives. On October 10, 2016, we submitted a bid to the


Brazilian bankruptcy court overseeing SIFCO’s reorganization in the competitive process to sell SIFCO's commercial vehicle steer axle systems business and its related forged components business. The bid and the proposed transaction are governed by a purchase agreement entered into between certain of Dana’s affiliates and SIFCO and certain of its affiliates. The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including that Dana is the winning bidder pursuant to the bankruptcy court supervised competitive auction process and certain Brazilian regulatory approvals. If Dana’s bid is approved in the bankruptcy court supervised competitive auction process and the applicable Brazilian regulatory approvals are received, closing is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2016. The purchase price for the business being acquired is 275 Brazilian reals, which approximates $85 at current exchange rates.

Our ability to maintain continued uninterrupted product supply to satisfy our customer commitments is somewhat uncertain, dependent on SIFCO's compliance with the terms of the supply agreement until the closing of the transaction. We continue to preserve the ability to pursue the legal rights and remedies available to us to enforce compliance with the original supply agreement.

Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill — The carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each of our operating segments at September 30, 2016 were as follows: Off-Highway — $83 and Power Technologies — $6. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill in 20162017 is due to currency fluctuation and the acquisitionacquisitions of an aftermarket distribution business.USM – Warren and 80% interests in BFP and BPT. See Note 2 for additional information.

Note 5. Restructuring of Operations

Our restructuring activities have historically included rationalizing our operating footprint by consolidating facilities, positioning operations in lower cost locations and reducing overhead costs. In recent years, however, in response to lower demand and other market conditions in certain businesses, our focus has primarily been headcount reduction initiatives to reduce operating costs. Restructuring expense includes costs associated with current and previously announced actions and is comprised of contractual and noncontractual separation costs and exit costs, including costs associated with lease continuation obligations and certain operating costs of facilities that we are in the process of closing.

Note 7. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

In connection with the acquisition of a controlling interest in Brevini Fluid Power S.p.A. (BFP) and Brevini Power Transmission S.p.A. (BPT) from Brevini Group S.p.A. (Brevini) on February 1, 2017, we recognized $45 for Brevini's 20% redeemable noncontrolling interest. The terms of the agreement provide Dana the right to call Brevini's noncontrolling
interests in BFP and BPT, and Brevini the right to put its noncontrolling interests in BFP and BPT to Dana, assuming Dana
does not exercise its call rights, at dates and prices defined in the agreement. The call and put prices are based on the amount Dana paid to acquire its initial ownership interest in BFP and BPT subject to adjustment based on the actual EBITDA and free cash flows, as defined in the agreement, of BFP and BPT. See Note 2 for additional information.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests reflected as of the balance sheet date are the greater of the redeemable noncontrolling interest balances adjusted for comprehensive income items and distributions or the redemption values (i.e., the "floor"). Redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustments of redemption value to the floor are reflected in retained earnings and are included as an adjustment to net income available to parent company stockholders in the calculation of earnings per share. There were no current period adjustments to reflect a redemption value in excess of carrying value. See Note 8.

Reconciliation of the divestiture of our operationschanges in Venezuela in January 2015, we eliminated the unrecognized pension expense and theredeemable noncontrolling interest related to our former Venezuelan subsidiaries.

The share count for diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effects of dilutive common stock equivalents (CSEs) outstanding during the period. We excluded 2.10.5 million and 0.21.9 million CSEs from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the third quarters ofin 2017 and 2016 and 2015 and excluded 2.1 million and 0.1 million CSEs for the year-to-date periods of 2016 and 2015 as the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 8.9. Stock Compensation
 
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the grant of RSUs and performance share units (PSUs) shown in the table below during the first nine months of 2016.2017.

* Weighted-average per share

We calculated the fair value of the RSUs at grant date based on the closing market price of our common stock at the date of grant. The number of PSUs that ultimately vest is contingent on achieving specified return on invested capital targets and specified total shareholder returnmargin targets, relative to peer companies. Forwith an even distribution between the portion of the award based on the return on invested capital performance metric, wetwo targets. We estimated the fair value of the PSUs at grant date based on the closing market price of our common stock at the date of grant adjusted for the value of assumed dividends over the period because the award isawards are not dividend protected. For the portion of the award based on shareholder returns, we estimated the fair value of the PSUs at grant date using various assumptions as part of a Monte Carlo simulation. The expected term represents the period from the grant date to the end of the three-year performance period. The risk-free interest rate of 1.00% was based on U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates at the grant date. The dividend yield of 1.40% was calculated by dividing the expected annual dividend by the average stock price over the prior year. The expected volatility of 33.4% was based on historical volatility over the prior three years using daily stock price observations.

We received $4 of cash from the exercise of stock options related to 0.3 million shares. We paid $1 of cash to settle RSUs and issued 0.50.4 million shares of common stock based on the vesting of RSUs during 2016.2017. We recognized stock compensation expense of $4 and $6 during the third quarter of 2016 and 2015 and $11 and $14$2 during the first nine monthsquarter of 20162017 and 2015.2016. At September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested awards granted and expected to vest was $24.$36. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.02.2 years.

Pension expense for the nine months ended September 30, 20162017 increased modestly versus the same period in 20152016 as the effecta result of a lower assumed return on plan assets was mostly offset by a reductionand an increase in amortization of the net actuarial loss in the interest component. The $11 reduction in interest resulted primarily from adopting a full yield curve approach to estimating interest expense effective at the beginning of 2016. The new method applies the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the most recent remeasurement of the benefit obligation, resulting in a more precise estimate.U.S.

Financing costs of $7 were$6 will be recorded as deferred costs and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes. The proceeds from the offering werewill be used to repay indebtedness of our BPT and BFP subsidiaries and indebtedness of a wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil and to redeem $100 of our FebruarySeptember 2021 Notes. In conjunction with the issuance of the April 2025 Notes, we entered into eight-year fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps which have the effect of economically converting the April 2025 Notes to pay related fees and expenses andeuro-denominated debt at a fixed rate of 3.850%. See Note 13 for general corporate purposes.additional information.

At any time prior to June 1, 2019,April 15, 2020, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the June 2026April 2025 Notes in an amount not to exceed the amount of proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a price equal to 106.500%105.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, provided that at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the June 2026April 2025 Notes remains outstanding after the redemption.

Prior to June 1, 2021,April 15, 2020, we may redeem some or all of the June 2026April 2025 Notes at a redemption price of 100.000% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date plus a “make-whole” premium. We have not separated the make-whole premium from the underlying debt instrument to account for it as a derivative instrument as the economic characteristics and the risks of this embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the underlying debt.

We may redeem some or all of the June 2026April 2025 Notes at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on June 1April 15 in the years set forth below:

During April 2017, we redeemed $100 of our September 2021 Notes pursuant to a tender offer at a weighted average price equal to 104.031% plus accrued and unpaid interest. The $5 loss on extinguishment of debt to be recorded in April 2017 includes the redemption premium and transaction costs associated with the tender offer and the write-off of $1 of previously deferred financing costs associated with the September 2021 Notes.

On June 23, 2016, we redeemed all of our February 2021 Notes at a price equal to 103.375% plus accrued and unpaid interest. The $16 loss on extinguishment of debt includes the $12 redemption premium and the $4 write-off of previously deferred financing costs associated with the February 2021 Notes.

On December 9, 2014, we elected to redeem $40 of our previously outstanding February 2019 Notes effective January 8, 2015 at a price equal to 103.000% plus accrued and unpaid interest. On March 16, 2015, we redeemed the remaining $15 of our February 2019 Notes at a price equal to 103.250% plus accrued and unpaid interest. The $2 loss on extinguishment of debt includes the redemption premium and the write-off of previously deferred financing costs associated with the February 2019 Notes.

Revolving facility — On June 9, 2016, we received commitments fromentered into a new and existing lenders for a $500 amended and restated revolving credit facility (the Amended Revolving Facility) which expiresmatures on June 9, 2021. The Revolving Facility refinanced and replaced our previous revolving credit facility. In connection with the Amended Revolving Facility, we paid $3 in deferred financing costs to be amortized to interest expense over the life of the facility. We wrote off $1 of previously deferred financing costs associated with our prior revolving credit facility to loss on extinguishment of debt. Deferred financing costs on our Amended Revolving Facility are included in otherOther noncurrent assets.



The Amended Revolving Facility is guaranteed by all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, including exceptions for Dana Credit Corporation and Dana Companies, LLC and their respectiveits subsidiaries (the guarantors), and grants a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of Dana and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

Advances under the Amended Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate based on, at our option, the base rate or Eurodollar rate (each as described in the revolving credit agreement) plus a margin. The margins on the base rate and Eurodollar rate are 0.75% and 1.75% per annum respectively until September 30, 2016 andmargin as set forth below thereafter:

below:
  Margin
Total Net Leverage Ratio Base Rate Eurodollar Rate

Greater than 2.00:1.00 1.00% 2.00%

Commitment fees are applied based on the average daily unused portion of the available amounts under the Amended Revolving Facility. The applicable fee will be 0.375% per annum until September 30, 2016 andFacility as set forth below thereafter:

Greater than 2.00:1.00 0.500%

Up to $275 of the Amended Revolving Facility may be applied to letters of credit, which reduces availability. We pay a fee for issued and undrawn letters of credit in an amount per annum equal to the applicable margin for Eurodollar rate advances based on a quarterly average availability under issued and undrawn letters of credit under the revolving facilityRevolving Facility and a per annum fronting fee of 0.125%, payable quarterly.

There wereAs of March 31, 2017, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolving Facility at September 30, 2016 butand we had utilized $22$23 for letters of credit. We had availability at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 under the Amended Revolving Facility of $478$477 after deducting the outstanding borrowings and letters of credit.

Debt covenants — At September 30, 2016March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with the covenants of our financing agreements. Under the Amended Revolving Facility and the senior notes, we are required to comply with certain incurrence-based covenants customary for facilities of these types and, in the case of the Amended Revolving Facility, a maintenance covenant that therequiring us to maintain a first lien net leverage ratio not to exceed 2.00 to 1.00.







Note 12.13. Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives

See Note 12 for additional information about financing agreements.

Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis — Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These are long-lived assets that are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. These assets include intangible assets and property, plant and equipment which may be written down to fair value when they are held for sale or as a result of impairment.

Interest rate derivatives — Our portfolio of derivative financial instruments periodically includes interest rate swaps designed to mitigate our interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, no fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps remain outstanding. However, an $8a $7 fair value adjustment to the carrying amount of our December 2024 Notes, associated with a fixed-to-floating interest rate swap that had been executed but was subsequently terminated during 2015, remains deferred at September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. This amount is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense through the period ending December 2024, the scheduled maturity date of the December 2024 Notes. The amount amortized as a reduction of interest expense was not material during the quarter or nine months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017.

Foreign currency derivatives — Our foreign currency derivatives include forward contracts associated with forecasted transactions, primarily involving the purchases and sales of inventory through the next fifteen months, as well as currency swaps associated with certain recorded external notes payable and intercompany loans receivable and payable. Periodically, our foreign currency derivatives also include net investment hedges of certain of our investments in foreign operations.

During February 2017, in conjunction with the issuance of an aggregate $15 of U.S. dollar-denominated short-term notes payable by one of our Brazilian subsidiaries (the "Brazilian Notes"), we executed fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps with the same critical terms as the Brazilian Notes. Additionally, in conjunction with the issuance of €281 of euro-denominated intercompany notes payable, issued by certain of our Luxembourg subsidiaries (the "Luxembourg Intercompany Notes") and payable to USD-functional Dana, Inc., we executed fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps with the same critical terms as the Luxembourg Intercompany Notes. The risk management objective of these swaps is to eliminate the variability in the functional-currency-equivalent cash flows due to changes in the U.S. dollar / Brazilian real and euro / U.S. dollar exchange rates associated with the forecasted principal and interest payments on the respective underlying instruments.

During March 2017, in conjunction with the planned April 2017 issuance of the $400 of U.S. dollar-denominated April 2025 Notes by euro-functional Dana Financing Luxembourg S.à r.l., we executed fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps with the same critical terms as the April 2025 Notes to eliminate the variability in the functional-currency-equivalent cash flows due to changes in the U.S. dollar / euro exchange rates associated with the forecasted principal and interest payments.

During May 2016, in conjunction with the issuance of the $375 of U.S. dollar-denominated June 2026 Notes by euro-functional Dana Financing Luxembourg S.à r.l. (euro-functional subsidiary), we executed two fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps with the same critical terms as the June 2026 Notes to eliminate the variability in the functional-currency-equivalent cash flows due to changes in the U.S. dollar / euro exchange rates associated with the forecasted principal and interest payments.



All of the underlying designated financial instruments, and any subsequent replacement debt, have been designated as the hedged items in each respective cash flow hedge relationship, as shown in the table below. Designated as a cash flow hedgehedges of the forecasted principal and interest payments of the June 2026 Notes,underlying designated financial instruments, or subsequent replacement debt, all of the swaps economically convert the June 2026 Notes from $375underlying designated financial instruments into the functional currency of U.S. dollar-denominated debt ateach respective holder. The impact of the interest rate differential between the inflow and outflow rates on all fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps is recognized during each period as a fixed ratecomponent of 6.500% to €338 of euro-denominated debt at a fixed rate of 5.140%. The June 2026 Notes and any subsequent replacement debt have both been designated as the hedged items (collectively, the "designated debt") in the cash flow hedge relationship. See Note 11 for additional information about the June 2026 Notes.interest expense.

All of the swaps are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the corresponding currency-based changes in cash outflows related to the underlying designated debt.financial instruments. Based on our qualitative assessment that the critical terms of all of the June 2026 Notesunderlying designated financial instruments and all of the associated swaps match and that all other required criteria have been met, we do not expect to incur any ineffectiveness. As an effective cash flow hedge,hedges, changes in the fair value of the swaps will be recorded in OCI during each period. Additionally, to the extent the swaps remain effective, the appropriate portion of AOCI will be reclassified to earnings each period as an offset to the foreign exchange gain or loss resulting from the remeasurement of the underlying U.S. dollar-denominated debt bydesignated financial instruments. See Note 12 for additional information about the euro-functional subsidiary.June 2026 Notes and the April 2025 Notes.

In the event our ongoing assessment demonstrates that the critical terms of either the swaps or the underlying designated debtfinancial instruments have changed, or that there have been adverse developments regarding counterparty risk, we will use the long haul method to assess ineffectiveness of the hedging relationship. To the extent the swaps are no longer effective, changes in their fair values will be recorded in earnings. At September 30, 2016, aDuring the first quarter of 2017, deferred losslosses of $24$11 associated with all of the fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps remainswere recorded in AOCI. The deferred loss representsOCI and reflect the net impact of a $17 unfavorable change in the fair value of the swaps net ofand a $4$6 reclassification from AOCI to earnings. The reclassification from AOCI to earnings asrepresents an offset to a foreign exchange remeasurement gain on all of the designated debt instruments outstanding during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017.

The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts, involving the exchange of various currencies, was $136 as of September 30, 2016$200 at March 31, 2017 and $212 as of$143 at December 31, 2015.2016.

Cash flow hedges — With respect to contracts designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value during the period in which the contracts remain outstanding are reported in OCI to the extent such contracts remain effective. Effectiveness is measured by using regression analysis to determine the degree of correlation between the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument and the change in the associated foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in fair value of contracts not designated as cash flow hedges or as net investment hedges are recognized in other income,Other expense, net in the period in which the changes occur. Realized gains and losses from currency-related forward contracts, including those that have been designated as cash flow hedges and those that have not been designated, are recognized in other income,Other expense, net.

Net investment hedges — We periodically designate derivative contracts or underlying non-derivative financial instruments as net investment hedges. With respect to contracts designated as net investment hedges, we apply the forward method, but for non-derivative financial instruments designated as net investment hedges, we apply the spot method. Under both methods, we report changes in fair value in the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) component of OCI during the period in which the contracts remain outstanding to the extent such contracts and non-derivative financial instruments remain effective.

During the first quarter of 2017, we designated the principal amount of an existing non-derivative Mexican peso-denominated intercompany note payable (the "MXN-denominated intercompany note") by Dana European Holdings Luxembourg S.à r.l. to Dana de Mexico Corporacion S. de R.L. de C.V., one of our Mexican subsidiaries, as a net investment hedge of the equivalent portion of the investment in the associated Mexican operations. At March 31, 2017, the principal amount of the MXN-denominated intercompany note is 1,465 Mexican pesos, or approximately $78.

During the first quarter of 2017, we recorded a deferred loss of $5 in the CTA component of OCI associated with the MXN-denominated intercompany note. Amounts recorded in CTA remain deferred in AOCI until such time as the investments in the associated subsidiaries are substantially liquidated. See also Note 6.

Amounts to be reclassified to earnings — Deferred gains or losses associated with effective cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions are reported in AOCI and are reclassified to earnings in the same periods in which the underlying transactions affect earnings. Amounts expected to be reclassified to earnings assume no change in the current hedge relationships or to September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 exchange rates. Deferred lossesgains of $1$3 at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months, compared to deferred losses of $4$2 at December 31, 20152016. Amounts reclassified from AOCI to earnings arising from the discontinuation of cash flow hedge accounting treatment were not material during the first nine monthsquarter of 2016.2017.



Note 13.14. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Asbestos personal injury liabilities — As part of our reorganization in 2008, assets and liabilities associated with personal injury asbestos claims were retained in Dana Corporation which was then merged into Dana Companies, LLC (DCLLC), a consolidated wholly-owned limited liability company. The assets of DCLLC include insurance rights relating to coverage against these liabilities, marketable securities and other assets which are considered sufficient to satisfy its liabilities. DCLLC had approximately 25,000 active pending asbestos personal injury liability claims at both September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. DCLLC had accrued $73 for indemnity and defense costs for settled, pending and future claims at September 30, 2016, compared to $78 at December 31, 2015. A fifteen-year time horizon was used to estimate the value of this liability. In addition to claims and litigation experience, we consider additional qualitative and quantitative factors such as changes in legislation, the legal environment, our strategy in managing claims and obtaining insurance, including our defense strategy, and health related trends in the overall population of individuals potentially exposed to asbestos in determining whether a change in the estimate of its liability for pending and future claims and defense costs or insurance assets is warranted.



At September 30, 2016, DCLLC had recorded $48 as an asset for probable recovery from insurers for the pending and projected asbestos personal injury liability claims, compared to $51 recorded at December 31, 2015. The recorded asset represents our assessment of the capacity of our current insurance agreements to provide for the payment of anticipated defense and indemnity costs for pending claims and projected future demands. The recognition of these recoveries is based on our assessment of our right to recover under the respective contracts and on the financial strength of the insurers. DCLLC has coverage agreements in place with insurers confirming substantially all of the related coverage and payments are being received on a timely basis. The financial strength of these insurers is reviewed at least annually with the assistance of a third party. The recorded asset does not represent the limits of the insurance coverage, but rather the amount DCLLC would expect to recover if the accrued indemnity and defense costs were paid in full.

DCLLC continues to process asbestos personal injury claims in the normal course of business, is separately managed and has an independent board member. The independent board member is required to approve certain transactions including dividends or other transfers of $1 or more of value to Dana. Dana Incorporated has no obligation to increase its investment in or otherwise support DCLLC.

Other productProduct liabilities — We had accrued $4 and $1$5 for non-asbestos product liability costs at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 20152016 and a $4 for an expected recovery from third parties at September 30, 2016. The increases in the liability and recoverable amounts at September 30, 2016 reflect the recognition of the estimated cost, net of payments made, and the expected recovery of an insured matter.both dates. We estimate these liabilities based on assumptions about the value of the claims and about the likelihood of recoveries against us derived from our historical experience and current information.

Environmental liabilities — Accrued environmental liabilities were $9$7 at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and $11$8 at December 31, 20152016. We consider the most probable method of remediation, current laws and regulations and existing technology in estimating our environmental liabilities.

Guarantee of lease obligations — In connection with the divestiture of our Structural Products business in 2010, leases covering three U.S. facilities were assigned to a U.S. affiliate of Metalsa. Under the terms of the sale agreement, we will guarantee the affiliate’s performance under the leases, which run through June 2025, including approximately $6 of annual payments. In the event of a required payment by Dana as guarantor, we are entitled to pursue full recovery from Metalsa of the amounts paid under the guarantee and to take possession of the leased property.

Other legal matters — We are subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business or operations. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, we cannot state what the eventual outcome of these matters will be. However, based on current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, we believe that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

In November 2013, we received an arbitration notice from Sypris Solutions, Inc. (Sypris), formerly our largest supplier, alleging damage claims under the long-term supply agreement that expired on December 31, 2014. The arbitration proceedings related to these claims concluded in the second quarter of 2015 with Sypris being awarded immaterial damages. Sypris also alleged that Dana and Sypris entered into a new binding long-term supply agreement in July 2013. Dana filed suit against Sypris requesting declaratory judgment that the parties did not enter into a new supply agreement. During the first quarter of 2015, the court granted summary judgment in Dana’s favor, rejecting Sypris’ position that a new contract was formed in July 2013. The Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals upheld the summary judgment ruling in December 2015 and that decision is no longer subject to appeal. We have been advised that Sypris will not pursue its claim that Dana failed to negotiate in good faith under the 2007 agreement.

On September 25, 2015, the Brazilian antitrust authority (“CADE”) announced an investigation of an alleged cartel involving a former Dana business in Brazil and various competitors related to sales of shock absorbers between 2000 and 2014. We divested this business as a part of the sale of our aftermarket business in 2004. The investigation of Dana's involvement in this matter concluded in the second quarter of 2016 without a material impact on Dana.

Note 15.16. Income Taxes

We estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes in interim reporting periods. We also recognize the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur.

We have generally not recognized tax benefits on losses generated in several entities including those in the U.S., where the recent history of operating losses does not allow us to satisfy the “more likely than not” criterion for the recognition of deferred tax assets. Consequently, there is no income tax expense or benefit recognized on the pre-tax income or losses in these jurisdictions as valuation allowances are adjusted to offset the associated tax expense or benefit.

We record interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. Net interest expense for the periods presented herein is not significant.



We reported income tax expense (benefit) related to operations of $13$30 and $(77)$24 for the quarters ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and 2015 and $66 and $(10) for the respective nine-month periods. The third-quarter and nine-month net tax benefits in 2015 included a $100 release of valuation allowances on U.S. deferred tax assets in connection with the planned sale of an affiliate's stock and certain operating assets by a U.S. subsidiary of the company to a non-U.S. affiliate. As a consequence of proposed Internal Revenue Service regulations issued in last year's third quarter providing guidance on the tax treatment afforded a component of the tax planning actions we were undertaking, we revised the estimated forecasted income being generated upon completion of the transaction which led to the third quarter 2015 release. Upon completion of this intercompany transaction in the fourth quarter of 2015, we recognized a prepaid tax asset.2016. Our effective tax rates were 26%29% and 37%33% in the first nine months of2017 and 2016, and 2015, exclusive of $8respectively, with $3 from the amortization of the prepaid tax asset increasing the rate in 2016 and $100 of valuation allowance released on U.S. deferred tax assets in the third quarter of 2015.2016. Our effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to establishment, release and adjustment of valuation allowances in several countries, nondeductible expenses, local tax incentives in several countries outside the U.S., different statutory tax rates outside the U.S. and withholding taxes related to repatriations of international earnings. In 2016, jurisdictions with valuation allowances reported higher aggregate pre-tax income, thereby decreasing the effective rate. In 2015, these jurisdictions had lower pre-tax income, which increased the effective rate.

We provide for U.S. federal income and non-U.S. withholding taxes on the earnings of our non-U.S. operations that are not considered to be permanently reinvested. Accordingly, we continue to analyze and adjust the estimated tax impact of the income and non-U.S. withholding tax liabilities based on the amount and source of these earnings. As part of the annual effective tax rate, we recognized net expense of $2 and $1 for both quarters ended September 30,in 2017 and 2016 and 2015 and $5 and $4 in the nine-month periods of 2016 and 2015 related to future income taxes and non-U.S. withholding taxes on repatriations from operations that are not permanently reinvested. We also paid withholding taxes of $2 and $1 for the quarters ended September 30,during 2017 and 2016 and 2015 and $4 and $7 for the respective nine-month periods related to the actual transfer of funds to the U.S. and transfers of funds between foreign subsidiaries.

At September 30, 2016, we have a valuation allowance against our deferredThe adoption of new accounting guidance at the beginning of 2017 resulted in the $179 write-off of certain tax assets, primarily a prepaid tax recorded in conjunction with the U.S. When evaluating the continued need for this valuation allowance we consider all components of comprehensive income, and we weight the positive and negative evidence, putting greater reliance on objectively verifiable historical evidence than on projections of future profitability that are dependent on actions that have not occurred as of the assessment date. We also consider changes to historical profitability of actions occurring in the year of assessment that have a sustained effect on future profitability, the effect on historical profits of nonrecurring events, as well as tax planning strategies. These effects included items such as the


lost future interest income resulting from the prepayment on and subsequentintercompany sale of a payment-in-kind callable note receivable, the additional interest expense resulting from the $750 senior unsecured notes payable issued in July 2013, the effects of a 2015 intercompany transfer of an affiliate's stock and certain operating assets by a U.S. subsidiary of the company to a non-U.S. affiliate and, as discussed in 2015. See Note 11, the recent debt refinancing transaction which included an issuance of new debt by an international subsidiary and repayment of certain debt obligations held by the U.S. parent company. Management believes a sustained period of profitability, after considering historical changes from implemented actions and nonrecurring events, along with positive expectations1 for future profitability is important evidence for a determination that a valuation allowance should be released.additional information.

While our U.S. operations have experienced improved profitability, there is considerable uncertainty around demand levels in the U.S. in certain of our end markets. After weighting the positive and negative evidence at September 30, 2016, in our judgment, release of the valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets was not appropriate. Within the next twelve months, to the extent our operating performance demonstrates sustained profitability as defined above, certain of our end markets stabilize and we are able to affirm sustained profitability in our forecasts, we believe that release of U.S. valuation allowances approximating $500 is reasonably possible.

Operational and Strategic Initiatives

In 2016 we outlined our current enterprise strategy which leverages our strong technology foundation and our commitment to continuous improvement. Our strategy places increased focus leveraging resources across the organization, satisfying customer requirements, expanding products and markets and accelerating commercialization of new technology.

Central to our strategy is leveraging our core operations by sharing our capabilities, technology, assets and people across the enterprise, leading to improved execution and increased customer satisfaction. Although we have taken significant strides to improve our profitability and margins, particularly through streamlining and rationalizing our manufacturing activities, we believe additional opportunities remain to further improve our cost performance. Leveraging investments across multiple end markets and making disciplined, value enhancing acquisitions, will allow us to bring product to market faster, grow our top-line sales and enhance financial returns.

Strengthening customer centricity and expanding global markets are key elements of our strategy that focus on market penetration. Foundational to growing the business is directing the entire organization to putting the customer at the center of our value system and shifting from transactional to relationship-based interactions. These relationships are built on a foundation of providing unparalleled technology with exceptional quality, delivery and value. With even stronger relationships we will be better positioned to support our customers’ most important global and flagship programs and capitalize on future growth opportunities.

We continue to enhance and expand our global footprint, optimizing it to capture growth across all of our end markets. Specifically, our manufacturing and technology center footprint positions us to support customers globally – an important factor as many of our customers are increasingly focused on common solutions for global platforms. While growth opportunities are present in each region of the world, we have a primary focus on building our presence and local capability in the Asia Pacific region. Over the past severallast few years, we have focusedopened two new engineering facilities in the region and recently new gear manufacturing facilities were established in India and Thailand.

In addition to Asia, we see further growth opportunity in Eastern Europe where we've commenced construction of a new gear manufacturing facility in Hungary. This will be our third facility in the country and will give us the capability to cost effectively manufacture gears, one of our core technologies, and efficiently service our customers within the region.

The final two elements of our enterprise strategy, commercializing new technology and accelerating hybridization and electrification, focus on maintainingopportunities for product expansion. Bringing new innovations to market as industry leading products will drive growth as our new products and technology provide our customers with cutting edge solutions, address end user needs and capitalize on key market trends. An example is our industry leading electronically disconnecting all-wheel drive technology, which we believe is the most fuel efficient rapidly disconnecting system in the market, was recently selected by a strong overall financial positionmajor global customer for a significant new global vehicle platformdriving profitabilityopening up new commercial channels for us in the passenger car, crossover and sport utility vehicle markets.

Initiatives to capitalize on evolving hybridization and electrification vehicle trends are a core ingredient of the current strategy. In addition to our current technologies in battery cooling and fuel cells, this element of the strategy is leveraging our electronics controls expertise across all our business units and applications such as advanced vehicle hybridization and electrification initiatives. We are working with customers to develop new solutions for those markets where electrification will be adopted first such as hybrids, buses and urban delivery vehicles. These new solutions, which include advanced electric propulsion systems with fully integrated motors and controls, are included in our business, simplifying our capital structure, maintaining strong cash flowsrecently launched Spicer Electrified portfolio of products.

The development and addressing structural costs. We have also strengthened and streamlined our operating segmentsimplementation of this enterprise strategy is positioning Dana to grow profitably over the next few years due to increased customer focus onas we leverage our core competencies of drivelinecapabilities, expand into new markets, develop and commercialize new technologies sealing systemsincluding for hybrid and thermal management. With an experienced leadership team, we believe that we are well-positioned to place increasing focus on profitable growth and shareholder returns.


electric vehicles.

Shareholder returns and capital structure actions — When evaluating capital structure initiatives, we balance our growth opportunities and shareholder value initiatives with maintaining a strong balance sheet and access to capital. Our strong financial position has enabled us to simplify our capital structure while providing returns to our common shareholders in the form of cash dividends and reduction in the number of common share equivalentsshares outstanding. Over the past threefour years, we returned $1,400$1,481 of cash to shareholders in connection with redemption of all of our preferred stock and repurchase of common shares. From program inception in 2012 through December 31, 2015,2016, we repurchased 67approximately 74 million shares, inclusive of the common share equivalent reduction resulting from redemption of preferred shares. In January 2016,Remaining share repurchase authorization under the

program approved by our Board of Directors approved the expansion of our share repurchase program from $1,400 to $1,700, and during the first six months of 2016 we repurchased 6.6 million shares for $81. No shares were repurchased in the third quarter and, at present, we are not expecting to repurchase shares during the remainder of 2016.is $219. We declared and paid quarterly common stock dividends over the past four years, raising the dividend from five cents to six cents per share in the second quarter of 2015.

We have taken advantage of the lower interest rate environment to refinance our senior notes at lower rates while extending the maturities. In December 2014 and the first quarter of 2015, we completed the redemption of notes maturing in 2019, replacing them with notes maturing in 2024. During the second quarter of 2016, we redeemed notes maturing in 2021, replacing them with notes maturing in 2026. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2014,In April 2017, we completed a voluntary program offered$400 note offering, the proceeds of which will be used to deferred vested salaried participants in our U.S. pension plans. With this program, we reduced plan benefit obligations by $171 with lump sum paymentsextend maturities on nearly $400 of $133 from plan assets.

Technology leadership — With a clear focus on market-based value drivers, global-mega trends and customer sustainability objectives and requirements, we are driving innovation to create differentiated value for our customers, enabling a “market pull” product pipeline. Our sealing and thermal engine expertise provides us with early insight into some of the critical design factors important to our customers. When combined with our drivetrain expertise, we are able to collaborate with our customers on complete power conveyance solutions, from the engine through the vehicle driveline. We are committed to making investments and diversifying our product offerings to strengthen our competitive position in our core driveline, sealing and thermal technologies businesses, creating value for our customers through improved fuel efficiency, emission control, electric and hybrid electric solutions, durability and cost of ownership, software integration and systems solutions. Our industry leading electronically actuated disconnecting all wheel drive technology, which we believe is the most fuel efficient rapidly disconnecting system in the market, was recently selected by one of our major customers for a significant new global vehicle platform – opening up new commercial channels for us in the passenger car, crossover and sport utility vehicle markets. A strategic alliance with Fallbrook Technologies Inc. (Fallbrook) provides us the opportunity to leverage leading edge continuously variable planetary (CVP) technology into the development of advanced drivetrain and transmission solutions for customers in our light vehicle market.

Additional engineering and operational investment is being channeled into our product portfolio and technology advancement opportunities. Combined engineering centers of our Light Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle segments allow us the opportunity to better share technologies among these businesses. New engineering facilities in India and China were opened in the past few years and are now on line, more than doubling our engineering presence in the Asia Pacific region with state-of-the-art development and test capabilities that globally support each of our businesses. Additionally, in 2014, we opened a new technology center in Cedar Park, Texas to support our CVP technology development initiatives.

Geographic expansion — Our manufacturing and technology center footprint positions us to support customers globally - an important factor as many of our customers are increasingly focused on common powertrain solutions for global platforms. While growth opportunities are present in each region of the world, we have a primary focus on building our presence and local capability in the Asia Pacific region, especially India and China. In addition to new engineering facilities in those countries, new gear manufacturing facilities were recently established in India and Thailand, and we recently announced plans to establish a new gear manufacturing facility in Hungary. Over the past few years, we expanded our China off-highway activities and we believe there is considerable opportunity for growth in this market.indebtedness at significantly lower interest rates.

Aftermarket opportunities — We have a global group dedicated to identifying and developing aftermarket growth opportunities that leverage the capabilities within our existing businesses – targeting increased future aftermarket sales. In January 2016, we completed the acquisition of Magnum®Magnum® Gaskets' (Magnum) aftermarket distribution business which includes the Magnum brand, product portfolio, existing customer contracts and distribution rights. The Magnum brand is the third largest aftermarket sealing brand in the U.S. and Canada, providing us with access to new customers for sealing products and an additional aftermarket channel for other products.

Selective acquisitions — Our current acquisition focus is to identifyprincipally directed at “bolt-on” or adjacent acquisition opportunities that have a strategic fit with our existing core businesses, particularly opportunities that support our growth initiativesenterprise strategy and enhance the


value proposition of our customer product offerings. Any potential acquisition will be evaluated in the same manner we currently consider customer program opportunities and other uses of capital – with a disciplined financial approach designed to ensure profitable growth and increased shareholder value. As discussed more fully

North America

Light vehicle markets — Improving economic conditions during the past few years have contributed to increased light vehicle sales and production levels in North America. ReleaseOverall economic conditions in North America continue to be relatively favorable with improving employment levels and upward trending consumer confidence. There continues, however, to be considerable uncertainty with the recent transition to new government leadership in the United States, and the potential impact on the economy of future actions initiated by the new administration. The North America light vehicle market is beginning to show signs of weakening demand levels. Strong sales levels the past few years have significantly addressed built-up demand to replace older vehicles, greater availabilityvehicles. Increasing interest rates, high levels of credit, stronger consumer confidencedebt and other factorsdeclining used car prices are developments that are likely to constrict demand for new vehicles. To date, these effects have combined to stimulate new vehiclebeen most notable in passenger car sales. LightWhile first-quarter 2017 light vehicle sales in 2015 increased about 6%2% from 2014, with2016, passenger car sales that year being up 6%declined by about 4% from 2013. Thethe first quarter of 2016. Helped by continued low fuel prices, light truck market has remaineddemand continued to be relatively strong in 2016 with sales in this year's first nine monthsquarter, with sales up 2% from the same period of 2015.7% compared to last year. Many of our programs are focused in the full frame light truck segment. Sales in this segment were especially strong the past two years, being up about 9% in 2015 and 8% in 2014. Sales of vehicles in this segment during the first nine months of 2016 were 6% higher than the comparable period of last year.5%. Production levels were reflective of the stronger light vehicle sales. Production of approximately 17.54.5 million light vehicles in 2015the first quarter of 2017 was 3%2% higher than in 2014, after2016, with passenger car production increased aboutdown 4% and light truck production 5% the preceding year.higher. Light vehicle engine production was similarly higher, up 2%impacted more by developments in 2015the passenger car segment and 6% in 2014.down 1% from last year's first quarter. In the key full frame light truck segment, first-quarter 2017 production levels increased about 8% in 20155% compared with an increaseto the same period of 6% in 2014. Production levels in the first nine months of this year continued to follow the sales pattern, with light vehicle production higher than last year's first nine months by about 3%, light vehicle engine build up 5% and full frame light truck production up 9%.2016. Days’ supply of total light vehicles in the U.S. at the end of September 2016March 2017 was around 65 days, up slightly from 61 days at December 2015 and 59 days at the end of September 2015. In the full frame light truck segment, this year's strong nine-month production raised inventory levels at the end of September to 7472 days, up from 62 days at the end of 2015December 2016 and 6966 days at the end of September 2015.March 2016. In the full frame light truck segment, inventory levels increased to 83 days at the end of March 2017, up from 65 days at the end of December 2016 and 76 days at the end of March 2016.

Steady employment levels, low fuel prices and favorably trending consumer confidence are expected to provideFor the remainder of 2017, we expect a generally solid economic climate in North AmericaAmerica. However, with the remainder ofstrength in this year. As such,market the past couple years, we have maintained ourbelieve slightly lower production levels are likely. Our full year 20162017 outlook for light


vehicle engine production at 16.0is 15.8 to 16.516.2 million units, andflat to an increase of 2% compared with 2016. In the full frame light truck segment where the past two years have been especially strong, our 2017 production of 4.4outlook is 4.2 to 4.54.3 million units. At these levels, we would expect light vehicle engine production to be upunits, a decrease of 3 to 7% compared with 2015 and full frame light truck production to be higher by about 6 to 9%.6% from 2016.

Medium/heavy vehicle marketsSimilar toThe commercial vehicle market is similarly impacted by many of the same macroeconomic developments impacting the light vehicle market,market. Strong production levels in the commercial vehicleheavy truck segment benefitedin 2014 and first half of 2015 led to more trucks than required for freight demand. As a consequence, production levels in 2016 and 2017 have been scaled back. Class 8 production in the first quarter of 2017 is down approximately 26% from an improvingfirst-quarter 2016 production levels. Demand and production levels in the medium duty segment have been aligned and relatively stable, more commensurate with the relatively slow, steady economic growth in North America economy in recent years, leading to increased mediumAmerica. Medium duty Classes 5-7 truck production the past two years. After increasing 12% in 2014, medium duty production increased another 4% in 2015. In the Class 8 segment, production levels increased 21% in 2014 and another 8% in 2015 to reach roughly 323,000 units. Although medium duty production in this year's thirdfirst quarter declined 12% from the same period last year, production overwas down about 4% compared with the first ninethree months of this year has been relatively stable, being up about 2% from the same period last year.

Although we have maintained our February outlook for full year 2017 Class 8 production in this year's third quarter is about 39% lower than the comparable 2015 period, with nine-month production down about 29% from 2015.

Orders for Class 8 trucks continuedat 190 to weaken in this year's third quarter, as on-highway freight demand levels are being met with existing trucks and operators are taking a cautious view until sustained increases in demand levels are apparent. As a result, we've reduced our full year Class 8 production outlook to 220,000 to 230,000 vehicles from our previous expectation of 230,000 to 240,000210 million units, placing current year production about 29 to 32% lower than in 2015.

Markets Outside of North America

Light vehicle markets — Signs of an improved overall European economy have been evident, albeit mixed at times, during the past few years. Reflective of a modestly improved economy, light vehicle production levels have increased with light vehicle engine production being up about 4% in 2016 after increasing 5% in 2015, after increasing 3% in 2014 and light truck production being higher by 9%9 to 10% in 2015 after being up about 7%each of the past two years. Overall market improvement continued in 2014. A stable to modestly improving current economic environment contributed to continued year-over-year production increases, withthe first quarter of 2017 as light vehicle engine build in the first nine months of 2016 beingproduction increased about 2% higher than in the same period last year7% and light truck production in this year'swas up about 13% compared to the first ninethree months increasing about 8%.of last year. The United Kingdom's recent decision to withdraw from the European Union along with political developments in other European countries has cast an element of uncertainty around continued economic improvement in the region. At present, the near-term effects on production levels are expected to remain relatively moderate. Withwe expect overall stable to improving economic conditions across the entire region for the remainder of the year, ourin 2017. Our full year forecast that has light vehicle engine production about the same as last year is unchanged, while we've increased our full year 20162017 outlook for light truckvehicle engines and light trucks is unchanged from February, with production levels expected to a level that is about 8be up 2 to 9% higher than the previous year.4% for light vehicle engines and flat to up 2% for light trucks. The economic climate in most South America markets the past couplefew years has been weak, volatile and challenging. Light truckAfter significant production declined 12%declines in 2014 and was down another 17%2015, there were signals of the demand levels having bottomed out in 2015.

Medium/heavy vehicle markets — Some of the same factors referenced above that affected light vehicle markets outside of North America similarly affected the medium/heavy markets, albeit with improvements in the medium/heavy truck market being a little slower to manifest. Signs of a strengthening European market emerged in 2015 and 2016 with medium/heavy truck production increasing about 9% each year. Market strengthening continued in 2015 being up about 10%the first quarter of 2017 with first quarter production increasing by 5% compared with the same period last year. Our full year outlook is unchanged from the preceding year. In this year's first nine months,February, reflecting 2017 medium/heavy truck production increased about 8%being flat to down 7% compared with the first nine months ofto last year. For the full year 2016, our outlook is unchanged. We expect Europe medium/heavy truck production to be up modestly from 2015. A weakening South America economic climate beginning in 2014 led to medium/heavy truck production declining about 23%47% in 20142015 and another 49%20% in 2015.2016.

Off-Highway Markets — Our off-highway business has a large presence outside of North America, with more thanapproximately 75% of its sales coming from Europe and more than 10%15% from South America and Asia Pacific combined. We serve several segments of the diverse off-highway market, including construction, agriculture, mining and material handling. Our largest markets are the construction/mining and agricultural equipment segments. After experiencing increased global demand in 2011 and 2012, these marketssegments which have been relatively weak over the past threefew years. Global demand in the agriculture market was down about 11% in 2014, and 7% in 2015.2015 and 5% in 2016. The construction/mining segmentsegment weakened about 4% in 2014, and 11% in 2015.

Foreign Currency and Brexit Effects

Weaker international currencies relative to the U.S. dollar have had a significant impact on our sales and results of operations in 2015.the past few years. The United Kingdom's recent decision to exit the European Union ("Brexit") has provided further uncertainty and potential volatility around European currencies, along with uncertain effects of future trade and other cross-border activities of the United Kingdom with the European Union and other countries. With new government leadership in the U.S. assuming control in early 2017, there is added uncertainly around future economic and trade policy and its potential impact on the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. Approximately 54% of our consolidated first-quarter 2017 sales in the first nine months of 2016 were outside the U.S., with euro zone countries, Mexico, Brazil and the United Kingdom and Brazil accounting for approximately 40%42%, 6%8%, 8% and 6% of our non-U.S. sales. The potential impact of future U.S. economic and trade policy has led to significant weakening of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar since the U.S. presidential election in November 2016. Although sales in Argentina and South Africa are each less than 5% of our non-U.S. sales, a weaker Argentine peso hasexchange rate movements of those countries have also significantly impacted this year's sales. Translation of our international activities at average exchange rates in 2015 as compared to average rates in 2014 reduced sales by $516, with $268 attributable to a weaker euro and $91 to a weaker Brazil real. In this year's first nine months,2016, weaker international currencies reduced sales by another $173. A weaker Argentine peso, British pound, Mexican peso, South African rand and Brazilian real reduced sales by $70, $23, $19, $18 and $11. The euro was relatively stable in 2016. Weaker international currencies are expected to be a headwind to sales again in 2017. First-quarter 2017 sales were adversely impacted by $6 due to currency translation as compared to the first nine months of last year reduced sales by $145. A weaker Brazil real and Argentina peso reduced South America sales by $70,same period in 2016, with a weaker euro, British pound and South Africa rand reducing Europe regionMexican peso being partially offset by a stronger Brazilian real. Based on our current sales by $35. Withand exchange rate outlook, which includes a nominal net reduction of sales due to currency effects of $5 in this year's fourth quarter, oursomewhat stronger Brazilian real than previously forecast, we expect the full year 2016 sales outlook anticipates overall weaker international currencies reducing year-over-year2017 impact of currency translation to reduce sales by about $150.$75. Our fourth quarter2017 outlook is based on an assumed euro/U.S. dollar rate of 1.05 to 1.10, a U.S. dollar/Brazil real rate of 3.3 and3.50 to 4.00, a British pound/U.S. dollar rate of 1.30.1.20 to 1.30 and a U.S. dollar/Mexican peso rate of 20.00 to 22.00. At sales levels in our current outlook for calendar 2016,2017, a 5% movement on the euro Brazil real and British pound rates would impact our annual sales by approximately $65 to $75. A 5% change on the Brazil real, British pound, Mexican peso, Thailand baht and China yuan rates would impact our annual sales in each of those countries by approximately $10 and $10, respectively.

Brazil Market

The Brazil market is an important market for our Commercial Vehicle segment, representing about 17% of this segment's first-quarter 2017 sales. Our medium/heavy truck sales in Brazil account for more than 75% of our total sales in the country. Reduced market demand resulting from the weak economic environment in Brazil in 2015 led to production levels in the light vehicle and medium/heavy duty vehicletruck markets that were lower by about 22% and 44% from 2014. Continued weakness in 2016 resulted in further reductions in medium/heavy truck production of about 20% and a light vehicle production decline of around 10%. As a consequence, sales by our operations in Brazil for 2015 were $240,2016 approximated $200, down from $505 the preceding year. Continuing weakness occurredabout $500 in this year's first nine months, with third quarter and nine-month light vehicle production being about 9% and 16% lower than the same periods of 2015. In the medium/heavy truck market, third quarter 2016 production was down about 15% and nine-month 2016 production was lower by 22% from the comparable periods of last year. For the full year 2016, Brazil light vehicle and medium/heavy truck production is expected to be down about 12% and 20% from last year. Our medium/heavy duty presence is particularly significant, with approximately 75% of our 2015 and nine-month 2016 Brazil sales originating in our Commercial Vehicle operating segment.2014. In response to the challenging economic conditions in this country, we implemented restructuring and other cost reduction actions in 2015the past two years and continue to trim costs to the extent practicable. As discussed in Note 32 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1, one ofwe completed a transaction in December 2016 that provided us with the underlying assets and personnel supporting our major suppliers is operatingpre-existing business with judicial oversight under reorganization proceedings in Brazil. We are continuing to operate under an interim agreementa supplier along with this supplier while also pursuing the purchase of certain assets from this supplier through the judicial reorganization proceedings. Completion of this acquisition is subject to bankruptcy court and regulatory approvals. If completed,some incremental business. With this transaction, will enhancewe have enhanced our vertically integrated supply chain capabilitycompetitive position in the market and further assure uninterrupted product supplyshould benefit significantly in future years as the Brazilian markets rebound. As indicated above, first quarter 2017 vehicle production levels in South America were higher than the same period of last year. Brazil was a significant contributor to satisfy our customer commitments.that performance with light truck production in this year's first quarter being higher by more than 30% and medium/heavy truck production being up about 3%. The first-quarter performance is an indication perhaps of the onset of improving market conditions in Brazil.

Commodity Costs

The cost of our products may be significantly impacted by changes in raw material commodity prices, the most important to us being those of various grades of steel, aluminum, copper and brass. The effects of changes in commodity prices are reflected directly in our purchases of commodities and indirectly through our purchases of products such as castings, forgings, bearings and component parts that include commodities. Most of our major customer agreements provide for the sharing of significant commodity price changes with those customers. Where such formal agreements are not present, we have historically


been successful implementing price adjustments that largely compensate for the inflationary impact of material costs. Material cost changes will customarily have some impact on our financial results as customer pricing adjustments typically lag commodity price changes.

Higher commodity prices driven in part by inflationary costs in Argentina, increased our costs by approximately $8$5 in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017, while in the same period of 2016 with higherlower commodity prices increasingdecreased costs in this years first nine months by $3. Lower commodity prices benefited our results by $6 in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2014.$7. Material recovery and other pricing actions increased first-quarter 2017 sales by $12 in this$2 and reduced last year's thirdfirst quarter and by $7 for the first nine months of 2016. In 2015, these actions reduced third-quarter sales by $9 and increased nine-month 2015 sales by $9.$8.

Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures discussion below for definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measures. We have not provided a reconciliation of our Adjustedadjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of net income. Providing net income guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in net income, including restructuring actions, asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. The accompanying reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures with the most comparable GAAP measures for the historical periods presented are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance.

During the past threetwo years, weaker international currencies relative to the U.S. dollar were the most significant factor reducing our sales. The sales reduction attributable to currency over the three-year period approximated $900, with a reduction of more than $500 occurring in 2015. We divested our Venezuela operation in Januaryduring 2015 which further reduced consolidated sales by approximately $100.and 2016 was $689. Adjusted for currency and divestiture effects, sales in the three precedingpast two years have


beenwere relatively stable.comparable, with new customer programs largely offsetting the impacts of overall weaker end user demand across our global businesses. We experienced uneven end user markets, with some being relatively strong and others somewhat weak, and the conditions across the regions of the world differing quite dramatically. NewOur February outlook for full year 2017 sales included the Brevini acquisition which closed February 1, 2017. Our net new business backlog will increase sales by about $175, with customers has largely offsetoverall stronger market demand also expected to contribute to higher sales. Partially offsetting these increases are currency headwinds from further weakening of international currencies against the lowerU.S. dollar that are currently expected to reduce 2017 sales attributableby about $75. With the closing of the USM transaction on March 1, 2017, we have maintained our February outlook at $6,200 to overall weaker end user demand. For 2016, we$6,400, but now expect full year sales to approximate $5,800,be at the lowhigh end of the range of our July outlook. We expect the currency effect on sales for the remainder of this year to be nominal – about $5. When included with the currency effect on this year's first nine months, the full year currency effect in 2016 due to weaker international currencies will approximate $150. The lower full year expectation compared with our July outlook is primarily attributable to weaker demand levels in the North America heavy truck, global off-highway and Brazil markets more than offsetting the benefits of stronger light vehicle markets.range.

Over the past three years, adjustedAdjusted EBITDA margin as a percent of sales has remained relatively constant at around 11% despite certain markets being weak and volatile. Where practicable, we have aligned our cost with weaker demand levels in certain markets. We continue to focus on margin improvement through right sizing and rationalizing our manufacturing operations, implementing other cost reduction initiatives and ensuring that customer programs are competitively priced. Although our sales outlook has weakened some, with a continued focus on cost and new business coming on at competitive rates, we expect full year 2016 adjusted EBITDA margin to be around 11.2% – the high end of our July outlook and an improvement of 40 basis points over 2015. Further margin improvement beyond 20162017 is anticipated as we expect to see increased end user demand in certain markets, along with continued benefit from additional new business and cost reduction actions. As with sales, we have maintained our February outlook for full year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA, but with the closure of the USM transaction this past quarter, we currently expect to be near the upper end of the range.

Free cash flow in 2014 benefited2015 declined from the receipt of $40 of interest from the sale of an in-kind note receivable. Lower pension contributions, restructuring payments and cash taxes also benefited free cash flow in 2014, while increased new program launches resulted in higher capital spending. The lower free cash flow in 2015 was primarilyprevious year due to lower earnings and increased capital spend to support new program launches, with lower cash taxes and restructuring payments providing a partial offset.

As such, cash used for capital investments in 2016 was $62 higher than in 2015. An elevated level of capital spending will continue into 2017, with such expenditures expected to approximate $350 to $370. The USM transaction resulted in first-quarter 2017 free cash flow being reduced by $25 as a portion of the cash paid at closing was treated as having effectively settled trade payables owed to USM for product purchases prior to the acquisition. As such, we increasednow expect to be nearer the low end of our February outlook for full year 2016 July outlook2017 free cash flow. The

Among our Operational and Strategic Initiatives are increased focus on and investment in product technology – delivering products and technology that are key to bringing solutions to issues of paramount importance to our customers. This, more than anything, is what will position us for profitable future growth. Our success on this front is measured, in part, by our sales backlog which is net new business received that will be launching in the future and adding to our base annual sales. This backlog excludes replacement business and represents incremental sales associated with new programs for which we have received formal customer awards. At December 31, 2015,2016, our sales backlog of net new business for the 20162017 through 20182019 period was $750.

A volume-related organic change in sales which we define as the change in sales excluding currency and acquisition or divestiture impacts, includes a volume-related decreaseincrease of $69 that$178 resulted primarily from weakerstronger light truck markets, strengthening global Off-Highway demand and lower commercial vehicle production in North America and Brazil, partially offset by stronger overall light vehicle volume in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific and contributions from new business. Cost recovery pricing actions increased sales by $12.Reduced demand levels in the North America commercial vehicle market provided a partial offset to the volume-related organic increase.

The North America organic sales reductionincrease of 7%14% was driven principally by stronger production levels on certain of our key light truck programs. Partially offsetting the higher light vehicle demand was a decline in Class 8medium/heavy truck production of about 39% and weaker Off-Highway demand. These effects were partially offset by increases in full frame light truck production and light vehicle engine build of 1% and 2% respectively, along with higher sales from new customer programs.15%.

Cost of sales and gross margin — Cost of sales declined $79, or 6%, infor the thirdfirst quarter of 20162017 increased $188, or 15%, when compared to the same period in 2015.2016. Similar to the factors affecting sales, the reductionincrease was primarily due to currency effects and lowerhigher overall sales volumes.volumes and the inclusion of acquired businesses. Cost of sales as a percent of this year's2017 sales was 50180 basis points lower than in the same periodprevious year. Cost of last year. Lower material costs contributed $12sales attributed to lower year-over-yearnet acquisitions, which included $6 of the incremental cost assigned to inventory as part of business combination accounting, amounted to $72, or 90.0% of the sales of those businesses. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and divestitures, cost of sales as percent of sales declined from 86.2% of sales in the first quarter of 2016 along with otherto 84.2% of sales in 2017 – a reduction of 200 basis points. This reduction in cost reduction initiatives. The year-over-year comparisonof sales as a percent of sales was largely attributable to better cost absorption as the higher sales volume prompted increases in manufacturing activity. Cost of sales also benefited from a $6 charge in last year's third quarter for environmental remediation. These benefitsmaterial cost savings of approximately $17, which more than offset the underabsorption of cost associated with lower sales volumes and an increase in warranty costmaterial commodity prices of $7.$5.

SG&A attributed to net acquisitions was $13. Excluding the increase associated with acquisitions and divestitures, SG&A expenses as a percent of sales were comparable with the same period of 2016. Of the $10 million year-over-year first-quarter increase exclusive of net acquisitions, salary and benefits expenses in 2016 were $4 lower than in 2015,$5 higher, while selling and other discretionary spending increased $5, due in part to a higher level of trade show and project activity in this year's third quarter.$5.

The higher level of strategic transaction expenses in 2017 is primarily attributable to the Brevini and USM transactions which were completed in the first quarter of 2017. See Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

Interest income and interest expense — Interest income was $3 in both 2017 and 2016. Interest expense was $27 in both 2017 and $31 in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to2016. A lower average interest rates partiallyrate on borrowings was offset by higher average debt levels in 2016.2017. Average debt levels were higher in the first quarter of 2017 than in last year's first quarter, in part due to debt of $182 assumed in connection with the Brevini acquisition. As discussed in Note 1112 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I, Dana Financing Luxembourg S.à r.l. issued $375 of its June 2026 Notes on May 27, 2016 and we redeemed $350 of our February 2021 Notes on June 23, 2016. In conjunction with the issuance of the June 2026 Notes, we entered into two 10-year fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps which have the effect of economically converting the June 2026 Notes to euro-denominated debt at a fixed rate of 5.140%. Through intercompany financing arrangements and associated fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps in the first quarter of 2017, we effectively converted the fixed U.S. dollar rate on our September 2023 Notes to a fixed euro rate of 3.91%. Average effective interest rates, inclusive of amortization of debt issuance costs, approximated 6.3%5.9% and 7.1%6.5% in 20162017 and 2015.2016.

Income tax expenseWe recorded incomeIncome taxes expense for the first quarter was $30 in 2017 and $24 in 2016, resulting in effective tax expenserates of $13 in the third quarter of 201629% and a benefit of $77 in the same period in 2015.33%, respectively. The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to valuation allowances in several countries, nondeductible expenses, different statutory rates outside the U.S. and withholding taxes. Jurisdictions with effective tax rates lower than the U.S. tax rate of 35% decreased the overall effective rate in both years. Tax expense in 2016 included $3 of amortization of a prepaid tax asset related to an intercompany transaction completed in 2015. As discusseddisclosed in Note 15 to our1 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I, we released $100 of valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assetsadopted new accounting guidance in 2017 which resulted in the third quarterprepaid tax asset at the beginning of 2015. The effective2017 being written off directly to retained earnings. Accordingly, there is no amortization expense relating to the prepaid tax rate of 18%asset in this year's third quarter compares to an2017.


effective rate of 51% in the third quarter of 2015 when adjusted to exclude the $100 of valuation allowance release. In 2016, the U.S. and other jurisdictions with valuation allowances reported higher pre-tax income, thereby decreasing the effective rate. In 2015, these jurisdictions had lower pre-tax income, which increased the effective rate. Also contributing to a higher effective tax rate in 2015 was $2 of expense for withholding taxes related to repatriation of foreign earnings, future income taxes and withholding taxes on earnings of foreign operations that are not permanently reinvested, and withholding taxes associated with changes to planned repatriations of certain foreign earnings. These withholding and foreign earnings related expenses were not significant in 2016.

In the U.S. and certain other countries where our recent history of operating losses doesdid not allow us to satisfy the “more likely than not” criterion for recognition of deferred tax assets. Therefore, there isassets, we have generally recognized no income tax recognized on the pre-tax income or losses in these jurisdictions as valuation allowance adjustments offset the associated tax effects. We believe that it is reasonably possible that up to $500Following the release of the valuation allowance againstallowances on our U.S. deferred tax assets could be released in the next twelve months. See Note 15fourth quarter of 2016, tax effects relating to our consolidated financial statementsU.S. income in Item 1 of Part I for a discussion of the factors considered in our quarterly evaluation of2017 are no longer being offset by adjustments to the valuation allowances against our U.S. deferred tax assets.allowance.

Equity in earnings of affiliates — Net earnings from equity investments was $2$5 in 2016 and2017 compared with de minimis earnings in 2015.2016. Equity in earnings from Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake, LLC (BSFB) waswere $3 in 2017 and $2 in 2016 while earnings from2016. Our share of Dongfeng Dana Axle Co., Ltd. (DDAC) were negligible.

Salesincreased level of earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests is generally attributable to increased earnings of the consolidated operations that are less than wholly-owned. The redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to the Brevini business we acquired in the first nine monthsquarter of 2016 were $306 lower than2017 on which we have a call option as described more fully in the same period in 2015. Weaker international currencies decreased sales by $145 and the acquisition of Magnum earlier this year added sales of $6. A volume-related organic sales decrease of $174 resulted primarily from weaker global Off-Highway demand, lower commercial vehicle production in North America and Brazil and lower sales with a major North America commercial vehicle customer, partially offset by stronger overall light vehicle volume levels in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific and contributions from new customer programs. Cost recovery pricing actions reduced sales by $7.

The North America organic sales reduction of 5% was driven principally by a decline in Class 8 production of about 29%, reduced sales levels with a major commercial vehicle customer and weaker Off-Highway demand. These effects were partially offset by growth in full frame light truck production of around 9%, an increase in light vehicle engine build of 5% and higher sales from new customer programs.

Excluding currency effects, principally from a weaker South African rand and British pound, our sales in Europe in the first nine months of 2016 were 5% lower than in 2015. Weaker Off-Highway demand was the primary driver of this reduction in sales, with increased light vehicle engine and light truck production providing a partial offset.

South America sales in this year's first nine months were impacted by weaker currencies in Argentina and Brazil. Excluding these effects, sales were up slightly from the same period in 2015. The organic sales increase in the region was driven largely by pricing actions, primarily recovery of inflationary cost increases in Argentina and contributions from new customer programs. These increases were largely offset by medium/heavy truck production levels being around 21% lower and light truck production declining about 1%.

Asia Pacific sales in this year's first nine months were relatively comparable to 2015. Weaker currencies in Thailand, India and China contributed to the currency-related sales reduction. The 3% organic sales increase resulted primarily from increased production levels in the region along with new customer programs.

Cost of sales and gross margin — Cost of sales declined $269, or 7%, in the first nine months of 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015. Similar to the factors affecting sales, the reduction was primarily due to currency effects and lower overall sales volumes. Cost of sales as a percent of this year's sales was 10 basis points lower than last year. Underabsorption of cost as a result of lower sales volumes increased cost of sales as a percent of sales. Cost of sales in 2016 was also adversely impacted by increases in engineering and product development costs of $8 and in warranty expense of $14. More than offsetting these increases were savings from lower material costs of $48, avoidance of supplier transition costs in our Commercial Vehicle segment, which totaled $14 in the first nine months of 2015, and a charge of $6 in last year's results for environmental remediation.

Gross margin of $640 for the first nine months of 2016 decreased $37 from the same period in 2015. Gross margin as a percent of sales was 14.6% in 2016, 10 basis points higher than 2015. Margin improvement was driven principally by the cost of sales factors referenced above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) — SG&A expenses in 2016 were $303 (6.9% of sales) as compared to $299 (6.4% of sales) in 2015. Salary and benefits expenses in 2016 were $2 lower than in 2015, while selling and other discretionary spending increased $6, due in part to execution of certain project initiatives.

Amortization of intangibles — The reduction of $7 in amortization of intangibles was primarily attributable to certain customer related intangibles becoming fully amortized.

Restructuring charges — Restructuring charges of $23 in 2016 included a third quarter 2016 expense of $14 for separation costs in connection with headcount reduction actions in our Off-Highway segment that are being implemented as a result of continuing weak demand levels in this business. The remaining $9 of restructuring expense this year relates to the closure of our Commercial Vehicle manufacturing facility in Glasgow, Kentucky, headcount reduction actions at our corporate facilities in the U.S. and employee separation and exit costs associated with previously announced headcount reduction and facility closure actions. Restructuring charges of $13 in 2015 were primarily attributable to headcount reductions in our Commercial Vehicle segment operations in Brazil which were significantly impacted by lower demand levels, along with costs associated with previously announced restructuring actions.

Impairment of long-lived assets —Reference is made to Note 32 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for a discussion of charges recognized in the third quarter of 2015 in connection with an impairment of long-lived assets attributable to an exclusive supply relationship with a South American supplier.I.



Loss on extinguishment of debt During the second quarter of 2016, we redeemed our February 2021 Notes and incurred a redemption premium of $12. We also restructured our domestic revolving credit facility. In connection with these actions, we wrote off $5 of previously deferred financing costs. The prior year expense was attributable to the call premium and write-off of previously deferred financing costs associated with the redemption of $15 of our February 2019 Notes in the first quarter of 2015.

Upon completion of the divestiture of our operations in Venezuela in January 2015, we recognized a $5 gain on the derecognition of the noncontrolling interest in one of our former Venezuelan subsidiaries. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

Interest expense — Interest expense was $84 and $86 in the first three quarters of 2016 and 2015. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to lower average interest rates partially offset by higher average debt levels in 2016. As discussed in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I, Dana Financing Luxembourg S.à r.l. issued $375 of its June 2026 Notes on May 27, 2016 and we redeemed $350 of our February 2021 Notes on June 23, 2016. Average effective interest rates, inclusive of amortization of debt issuance costs, approximated 6.4% and 6.7% in 2016 and 2015.

Income tax expense — Income tax expense was $66 in the first nine months of 2016, whereas we had a tax benefit of $10 in the same period in 2015. The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to valuation allowances in several countries, nondeductible expenses, different statutory rates outside the U.S. and withholding taxes. As discussed in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I, we released $100 of valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets in the third quarter of 2015 in connection with a planned intercompany transaction. Completion of the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2015 resulted in the recognition of a prepaid tax asset. Excluding the effects of this valuation allowance release, the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2015 was 37%. Excluding $8 of amortization of the prepaid tax asset, the effective tax rate for the comparable nine-month period of 2016 was 26%. In 2016, jurisdictions with valuation allowances reported higher aggregate pre-tax income, thereby decreasing the effective rate. In 2015, these jurisdictions had lower pre-tax income, which increased the effective rate. We recognized future income taxes and withholding taxes on earnings of foreign operations that are not permanently reinvested of $5 in the first nine months of 2016 and $4 in the same period in 2015 and we paid withholding taxes related to repatriation of foreign earnings of $4 in 2016 and $7 in 2015. Overall lower tax rates in jurisdictions outside the U.S. also reduced the effective tax rate in both periods.

In the U.S. and certain other countries, our recent history of operating losses does not allow us to satisfy the “more likely than not” criterion for recognition of deferred tax assets. Therefore, there is generally no income tax recognized on the pre-tax income or losses in these jurisdictions as valuation allowance adjustments offset the associated tax effects. We believe that it is reasonably possible that up to $500 of the valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets could be released in the next twelve months. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for a discussion of the factors considered in our quarterly evaluation of the valuation allowances against our U.S. deferred tax assets.

Equity in earnings of affiliates — Net earnings from equity investments was $6 in 2016 and $3 in 2015. Equity in earnings from Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake, LLC (BSFB) was $7 in 2016 while earnings from Dongfeng Dana Axle Co., Ltd. (DDAC) were negligible. Equity in earnings from BSFB of $9 in 2015 was partially offset by a loss of $7 from DDAC.

Noncontrolling interests net income — As more fully discussed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1, the first quarter of 2015 included $9 for correction of previously reported noncontrolling interests net income.

Light Vehicle sales in 20162017 were reduced by currency translation effects, primarily as a result of a weaker Mexico peso Argentina peso, Thailand baht, South Africa rand, and British pound sterling. Sales in this year's third quarter and first nine months, exclusivepound. The acquisition of USM at March 1, 2017 contributed $11 to sales. Exclusive of currency and acquisition effects, first-quarter 2017 sales were 10% and 7%23% higher than in 2015.the first quarter of last year. The volume-related increases were driven primarily by stronger production levels.levels in all regions. North America full frame light truck production in the third quarter and first nine months of 20162017 was up 1% and 9% from the same periods5%, although a number of 2015.our key programs in this segment were up more significantly. Light truck production in Europe, South America and Asia Pacific was stronger by 4%13%, 25% and 14% for the comparative third quarter periods and stronger by 8% and 11% for the year-over-year nine-month periods.7% compared to 2016. Sales in this segment also benefited by $13 from the inclusion ofnew customer programs, including $24 relating to a customer program in this segment that was previously reported insupported by our Commercial Vehicle segment that moved to Light Vehicle in mid-2016 when the axle used to support the program was replaced with an axle produced by the Light Vehicle segment. Partially offsetting these increases were lower sales from a discontinued program in EuropeCustomer pricing and weaker South America demand.

Light Vehicle segment EBITDA of $73 for the third quarter of 2016 is $10$89 in 2017 was $31 higher than in the same period of 2015, with segment EBITDA for the first nine months of 2016 being $9 higher than 2015. Weaker international currencies reduced segment EBITDA by $6 in the third quarter and $17 for this year's first nine months.2016. Higher sales volumes from overall stronger production levels and new business provided a benefit of $8 and $19 in the third quarter and first nine months.$25, while currency effects, inclusive of transaction losses, reduced segment EBITDA by $6. The year-over-year third-quarter performance-related earnings improvement ofwas driven by $8 is primarily attributable to $16 from material savings, pricing and recovery net of increased commodity costs.

These cost recovery pricing actions and material savings benefits more partially offset by increased material commodityreductions and other costs of $8, higher warranty expense of $4, and program start-up and launch costs of $5. The comparative nine-month period performance-related EBITDA included pricing and material recovery benefit of $23, with material cost savings actions providing additional benefit of $18. Partially offsetting these items was increased material commodity and other costs of $18, higher warranty costs of $6, start-up and launch related costs of $7, and increased engineering and product development expense net of customer recoveries of $3.earnings by $11.

The acquisition of the SIFCO business late in 2016 contributed $10 to a weaker Brazil real and Mexico peso.first-quarter 2017 sales. After adjusting for the effects of currency third-quarter and nine-monthacquisitions, 2016 sales in our Commercial Vehicle segment decreased 21% and 19%6% compared to 2015.2016. The volume-related reduction in both periods was primarily attributable to weakerlower sales in North America where Class 8 production was down about 26%, medium duty Classes 5-7 production was down 4% and a program having sales of $24 was transfered to the Light Vehicle segment who began supplying the axle for the program in mid-2016. Stronger end market demand in Brazil where medium/heavy truck production in the third quarter and first nine months was down about 15% and 22% from last year andEurope provided a year-over-year decline in third-quarter and nine-monthpartial offset to lower North America Class 8 production of about 39% and 29%. Also contributing to the volume-related reduction was the transfer of a program having sales of $13 from this segment to Light Vehicle in this year's third quarter and lower share of sales with a major North America customer.

Currency-adjusted third-quarter and nine-month 2016Currency effects, primarily from a weaker euro, reduced sales by $5. The acquisition of the Brevini business on February 1, 2017 added sales of $69 to the first quarter of 2017. After adjusting sales for these two items, first-quarter 2017 sales were down 19% and 13%higher by 10% compared to 2015,2016, primarily from lowerhigher global end-market demand.

The impact of lower sales volumes on segment EBITDA was partially offset by performance relatedperformance-related earnings improvement was principally from year-over-year material cost savings in the year-over-year three-month and nine-month periods of $4 which more than offset reduced customer pricing and $13. Pricing actions in the year-over-year third quarter results were offset by cost reduction initiatives. For the comparative nine-month periods, the benefit from material cost savings was reduced by pricing actions of $7, with other net cost reductions providing a net benefit to segment EBITDA of $3.items.

Power Technologies primarily serves the light vehicle market but also sells product to the medium/heavy truck and off-highway markets. A stronger Japanese yen provided a currency benefit in the comparative third quarter results, with the currency-related nine-month sales reduction primarily attributable to a weaker Canadian dollar. Net of currency effects and a reduction of $10 attributable to the Nippon Reinz divestiture in the fourth quarter of 2016, sales in the thirdfirst quarter and first nine months of 20162017 increased about 3% and 5% compared13%, primarily due to the same periods of 2015, principally fromoverall stronger market demand.

Nine-month performance-related comparative segment EBITDA is reflective of lower customer pricing and recovery of $12 and increased warranty expense of $2 which was partially offset by net cost reductions of $6, primarily from material cost savings initiatives.reductions.



Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

We have defined adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, equity grant expense, restructuring expense and other adjustments not related to our core operations (gain/loss on debt extinguishment, pension settlements, divestitures, impairment, etc.). Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of our ability to maintain and continue to invest in our operations and provide shareholder returns. We use adjusted EBITDA in assessing the effectiveness of our business strategies, evaluating and pricing potential acquisitions and as a factor in making incentive compensation decisions. In addition to its use by management, we also believe adjusted EBITDA is a measure widely used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate financial performance of our company relative to other Tier 1 automotive suppliers. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for income before income taxes, net income or other results reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Free Cash Flow

We have defined free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. We believe this measure is useful to investors in evaluating the operational cash flow of the company inclusive of the spending required to maintain the operations. Free cash flow is neither intended to represent nor be an alternative to the measure of net cash provided by operating activities reported under GAAP. Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Cash deposits are maintained to provide credit enhancement for certain agreements and are reported as part of cash and cash equivalents. For most of these deposits, the cash may be withdrawn if a comparable security is provided in the form of letters of credit. Accordingly, these deposits are not considered to be restricted.

Marketable securities are included as a component of global liquidity as these investments can be readily liquidated at our discretion.

A portion of the non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents is utilized for working capital and other operating purposes. Several countries have local regulatory requirements that significantly restrict the ability of our operations to repatriate this cash. Beyond these restrictions, there are practical limitations on repatriation of cash from certain subsidiaries because of the resulting tax withholdings and subsidiary by-law restrictions which could limit our ability to access cash and other assets.

The principal sources of liquidity available for our future cash requirements are expected to be (i) cash flows from operations, (ii) cash and cash equivalents on hand and (iii) borrowings from our revolving facility. We believe that our overall liquidity and operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for capital expenditures, working capital, debt obligations, common stock repurchases and other commitments during the next twelve months. While uncertainty surrounding the current economic environment could adversely impact our business, based on our current financial position, we believe it is unlikely that any such effects would preclude us from maintaining sufficient liquidity.

In May 2016,April 2017, Dana Financing Luxembourg S.à r.l. completed the issuance of $375$400 of its June 2026April 2025 Notes. Net proceeds of the offering after transaction costs totaled $368, of which $362 was$394. The net proceeds from the offering will be used to redeem allrepay indebtedness of our FebruaryBPT and BFP subsidiaries and indebtedness of a wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil and to redeem $100 of our September 2021 Notes. The $100 of September 2021 Notes were extinguished in April 2017 pursuant to a tender offer at a weighted average price of 103.375%.equal to 104.031% plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In June 2016, we received commitments from new and existing lenders for a $500 amended and restated revolving credit facility (the Amended Revolving Facility) which expires in June 2021. At September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolving Facility butand we had utilized $22$23 for letters of credit. We had availability at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 under the Amended Revolving Facility of $478$477 after deducting the outstanding borrowings and letters of credit.

At September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with the covenants of our financing agreements. Under the Amended Revolving Facility and our senior notes, we are required to comply with certain incurrence-based covenants customary for facilities of these types. The incurrence-based covenants in the Amended Revolving Facility permit us to, among other things, (i) issue foreign subsidiary indebtedness, (ii) incur general secured indebtedness subject to a pro forma first lien net leverage ratio not to exceed 1.50:1.00 in the case of first lien debt and a pro forma secured net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00 in the case of other secured debt and (iii) incur additional unsecured debt subject to a pro forma total net leverage ratio not to exceed


3.50:1.00. We may also make dividend payments in respect of our common stock as well as certain investments and acquisitions subject to a pro forma total net leverage ratio of 2.75:1.00. In addition, the Amended Revolving Facility is subject to a financial covenant requiring us to maintain a first lien net leverage ratio not to exceed 2.00:1.00. The indentures governing the senior notes include other incurrence-based covenants that may subject us to additional specified limitations.

Our Board of Directors approved an expansion of our existing common stock share repurchase program from $1,400 to $1,700 on January 11, 2016. During the first half of 2016, we paid $81 to acquire 6,612,537 shares of common stock in the open market. We did not repurchase any shares during the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2017 under our existing $1,700 common stock share repurchase program. Approximately $219 remains available under the program for future share repurchases.

From time to time, depending upon market, pricing and other conditions, as well as our cash balances and liquidity, we may seek to acquire our senior notes or other indebtedness or our common stock through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine (or as may be provided for in the indentures governing the notes), for cash, securities or other consideration. There can be no assurance that we will pursue any such transactions in the future, as the pursuit of any alternative will depend upon numerous factors such as market conditions, our financial performance and the limitations applicable to such transactions under our financing and governance documents.

The table above summarizes our consolidated statement of cash flows.

Operating activities — Exclusive of working capital, other cash provided by operations was $324$144 and $358$101 in 20162017 and 2015.2016. The year-over-year decreaseincrease in other cash provided by operations is primarily attributable to lowerhigher operating earnings in 2016.2017. Partially offsetting the stronger earnings performance were increased first-quarter 2017 payments for restructuring actions and transaction costs associated with acquisitions.

Working capital used cash of $142$133 and $92$128 in 20162017 and 2015.2016. Cash of $152$189 and $80$132 was used to finance increased receivables in 20162017 and 2015.2016. The higher level of cash required for receivables in 20162017 was due primarily to timing of customer payments.higher year-over-year first-quarter sales. Cash of $57$20 and $82$33 was used to fund higher inventory levels in 20162017 and 2015. Higher inventory requirements in 2015 were due in part to a supplier transition initiative in our Commercial Vehicle operating segment.2016. Partially offsetting cash used for higher receivables and inventory in both 20162017 and 20152016 was cash provided by increases in accounts payable and other net liabilities of $67$76 and $70.$37. The cash provided by accounts payable in 2017 was reduced by a payment of $25 in connection with the USM – Warren acquisition to settle trade payable obligations at the date of closing.

Investing activities — Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $198$96 and $192$71 in 20162017 and 2015.2016. During 2017, we paid $106, net of cash acquired, to acquire 80% ownership interests in BFP and BPT and $78 to acquire USM – Warren. During 2016, we paid $18 to acquire the aftermarket distribution business of Magnum. During 20162017 and 2015,2016, purchases of marketable securities were funded by proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities.

Financing activities — During 2016, Dana Financing Luxembourg S.à r.l. completed the issuance2017, we made scheduled repayments of $375 of its June 2026 Notes$5 at international locations and paid financing costsdown $12 of $10 related to the notesBFP and the Amended Revolving Facility. We redeemed all of our February 2021 Notes at a $12 premium. Also duringBPT acquired indebtedness. During 2016, we made scheduled repayments of $28$24 and took out $66$32 of additional long-term debt at international locations. During 2015, we redeemed $55 of our February 2019 Notes at a $2 premium, made scheduled long-term debt repayments at international locations and took out additional long-term debt at international locations. We used $26 and $27$9 for dividend payments to common stockholders in 2016both 2017 and 2015.2016. We used $81$28 to repurchase 6,612,537 common shares and $245 to repurchase 12,482,2772,264,692 common shares in 2016 and 2015.2016.

Contractual ObligationsOff-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Aside from the impacts of the financing activities described in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I, thereThere have been no material changes at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 in our contractual obligationsoff-balance sheet arrangements from those reported or estimated in the disclosures in Item 7 of our 20152016 Form 10-K.

Contractual Obligations

The acquisition of 80% ownership interests in Brevini Fluid Power S.p.A. (BFP) and Brevini Power Transmission S.p.A. (BPT) from Brevini Group S.p.A. (Brevini) in February 2017 included the assumption of approximately $324 of liabilities, increasing our contractual obligations at March 31, 2017 versus those reported in Item 7 of our 2016 Form 10-K. The terms of the related agreement provide Dana the right to call the noncontrolling interests in BFP and BPT held by Brevini, and Brevini the right to put its noncontrolling interests in BFP and BPT to Dana, assuming Dana does not exercise its call rights, at dates and prices defined in the agreement. The redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in BFP and BPT was $44 at March 31, 2017. See Notes 2 and 7 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

The issuance of $400 of 2025 Notes in early April 2017 and the subsequent use of the related proceeds to repay indebtedness will extend the maturities on nearly $400 of indebtedness at significantly lower interest rates. See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.



Contingencies

For a summary of litigation and other contingencies, see Note 1314 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I. We believe that any liabilities beyond the amounts already accrued that may result from these contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to use estimates and make judgments and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. There have been no material changes in the application of our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I, as well as in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 20152016 Form 10-K. Our critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7 of our 20152016 Form 10-K.

Income Taxes — In the second quarter of 2016, we completed a refinancing of senior notes, redeeming our February 2021 Notes and issuing the June 2026 Notes through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Dana Financing Luxembourg S.à r.l. As referenced in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1, we evaluated the effects of this transaction along with other factors as part of our assessment of valuation allowances against U.S. deferred tax assets. Based on our assessment, we determined that no release of valuation allowance in the third quarter of 2016 was appropriate. However, we believe that within the next twelve months, to the extent our operating performance demonstrates sustained profitability, certain of our end markets stabilize and we are able to affirm sustained profitability in our forecasts, release of U.S. valuation allowances approximating $500 is reasonably possible.

Pension Plans — Long-term interest rates on high quality corporate debt instruments, which are used to determine the discount rate, have decreased during 2016. The lower interest rates, if unchanged during the fourth quarter, would result in a year-end discount rate of 3.33% versus the 4.13% discount rate used for our plans in the U.S. at the end of 2015. Our 2016 pension fund asset return through the first nine months has been significantly better than our 6.5% annual expected return on plan assets. The year-end valuation, assuming no interest rate change and asset earnings at the expected rate during the fourth quarter, would result in an actuarial loss of approximately $35 being charged to other comprehensive income. Based on these assumptions, the funded status of our defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. at the end of 2016 would approximate 89%, slightly better than our position at December 31, 2015. We currently expect there to be no minimum funding requirement for our U.S. plans in 2017.

Long-term interest rates on high quality corporate debt instruments have also declined significantly outside the U.S., especially in Germany where we maintain unfunded plans that comprise the vast majority of our non-U.S. pension obligations. Rates there are approximately 100 basis points lower now than at the end of 2015. If the current discount rate is used in the year-end valuation of our defined benefit pension plans in Germany, we would expect an actuarial loss approximating $35 to be charged to other comprehensive income.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

During the secondfirst quarter of 2016,2017, we executed certain refinancing activities and entered into derivative instruments to manage our debt portfolio. In conjunction with the issuance of $15 of USD-denominated external short-term notes payable in Brazil and €281 of intercompany notes payable by two of our Luxembourg subsidiaries, we executed fixed-to-fixed cross swaps with the same critical terms as the underlying financial instruments. We redeemed our February 2021 Notes andalso designated an existing MXN 1,465 intercompany note payable by USD-functional Dana European Holdings Luxembourg S.à r.l. as a net investment hedge of the equivalent portion of the investment in the operations of Dana de Mexico Corporacion.

During April 2017, we issued the June 2026$400 of April 2025 Notes through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Dana Financing Luxembourg S.à r.l. In conjunction with the issuance, of the June 2026 Notes, we executed twothree fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps with the same critical terms as the June 2026April 2025 Notes. We used the $394 of proceeds from the April 2025 Notes to repay a portion of the indebtedness of Brevini Fluid Power S.p.A. and Brevini Power Transmission S.p.A., to repay indebtedness of a subsidiary in Brazil and to redeem $100 of our September 2021 Notes. See Notes 1112 and 1213 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I for additional information.

Other than the refinancing activities described above, there have been no material changes to market risk exposures related to changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates or commodity costs from those discussed in Item 7A of our 20152016 Form 10-K.
