*On December 29, 2020, through a business combination of Romeo Systems, Inc. and RMG Acquisition Corporation, a new entity Romeo Power, Inc. became a publicly listed company. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a net after-tax gain of $298 million to record its investment in Romeo Power Inc. at fair value. For full year 2020, the Company recorded a net after-tax gain of $291 million for fair value adjustments to this investment.

Net sales were $3,926 million for the fourth quarter 2020, up 53.4% from $2,559 million for the fourth quarter 2019 due primarily to the acquisition of Delphi Technologies and increased demand for the Company's products. The impact of foreign currencies increased net sales by approximately $88 million. Net income for the fourth quarter 2020 was $358 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, compared with net income of $220 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2019.  Adj. net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter 2020 was $1.18, compared to adj. net income per diluted share of $1.17 for the fourth quarter 2019. Adj. net income for the fourth quarter 2020 excluded net non-comparable items of $0.34 per diluted share. Adj. net income for the fourth quarter 2019 excluded net non-comparable items of $(0.11) per diluted share. These items are listed in the table above, which is provided by the Company for comparison with other results and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Adj. net earnings per diluted share was approximately flat on a year-over-year basis as the impact of higher revenue and adj. net earnings from the Delphi Technologies acquisition was offset by a higher tax rate and the impact of additional shares issued in the fourth quarter as a result of the acquisition. 

Net sales for full year 2020 were $10,165 million, which was relatively flat when compared to $10,168 million in 2019 as added sales from the Delphi Technologies acquisition were primarily offset by production disruptions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of foreign currencies increased net sales by approximately $22 million. Net income for the full year 2020 was $500 million, or $2.34 per diluted share, compared with $746 million, or $3.61 per diluted share, for 2019.  Adj. net income per share for the full year 2020 was $2.76, down from adj. net income per diluted share of $4.13 for 2019. Adj. net income for the full year 2020 excluded net non-comparable items of $(0.42) per diluted share. Adj. net income for the full year 2019 excluded net non-comparable items of $(0.52) per diluted share. These items are listed in the table above, which is provided by the Company for comparison with other results and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. The decline in adj. net earnings per diluted share was primarily due to lower income on lower sales arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and a higher tax rate, partially offset by Adj. net earnings from the Delphi Technologies acquisition.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,224 million for the full year 2020 compared with $1,008 million for the full year of 2019. Investments in capital expenditures, including tooling outlays, totaled $481 million for the full year 2020 compared with $481 million for the full year 2019. Compared with the end of 2019, balance sheet debt at the end of 2020 increased $1,827 million primarily due to the Delphi Technologies acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $818 million compared with the full year 2019, primarily due to the Company's cash generation in 2020.

Following the completion of the Delphi Technologies acquisition on October 1, 2020, the Company reorganized its management reporting structure to accommodate the newly acquired business. Previously, the Company reported its results under two reporting segments, Engine and Drivetrain, which are now combined with portions of the acquired business and referred to as Air Management and e-Propulsion & Drivetrain, respectively. The former Delphi Technologies Powertrain Products segment was integrated into the Air Management segment, and the former Delphi Technologies Electronics & Electrification segment was integrated into the e-Propulsion & Drivetrain segment. The remaining Delphi Technologies segments comprise two additional reporting segments, which are referred to as Fuel Injection and Aftermarket.

Air Management Segment Results: The Air Management segment net sales were $1,942 million in the fourth quarter 2020 compared with $1,533 million in the fourth quarter 2019. Excluding the impact of foreign currencies and $312 million from the acquisition of Delphi Technologies, net sales were up 2.8% from the prior year. Adj. earnings before interest, income taxes and non-controlling interest ("Adj. EBIT") were $301 million in the fourth quarter 2020, compared to $264 million from the prior year. The increase in Adj. EBIT was primarily due to the acquisition of Delphi Technologies.

e-Propulsion & Drivetrain Segment Results: The e-Propulsion & Drivetrain segment net sales were $1,447 million in the fourth quarter 2020 compared with $1,042 million in the fourth quarter 2019. Excluding the impact of foreign currencies and $255 million from the acquisition of Delphi Technologies, net sales were up 11.1% from the prior year. Adj. EBIT was $164 million in the fourth quarter 2020, compared to $136 million from the prior year. The increase in Adj. EBIT was primarily due to the acquisition of Delphi Technologies.

Fuel Injection Segment Results: The Fuel Injection segment's net sales and Adj. EBIT in the fourth quarter 2020 were $479 million and $39 million, respectively. The Adj. EBIT margin was 8.1% in the fourth quarter 2020. This is a new segment following the Delphi Technologies acquisition.

Aftermarket Segment Results: The Aftermarket segment's net sales and Adj. EBIT in the fourth quarter 2020 were $194 million and $22 million, respectively. The Adj. EBIT margin was 11.3% in the fourth quarter 2020. This is a new segment following the Delphi Technologies acquisition.

Full Year 2021 Guidance: The Company has provided 2021 full year guidance. Net sales are expected to be in the range of $14.7 billion to $15.3 billion, compared with 2020 pro forma combined sales of $12.8 billion. This implies a year-over-year increase in organic sales of 12% to 17%. The Company expects its weighted light and commercial vehicle markets to increase in the range of approximately 11% to 14% in 2021. Foreign currencies are expected to result in a year-over-year increase in sales of approximately $355 million, primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro and Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.

Operating margin is expected to be in the range of 8.6% to 9.5%. Excluding the impact of non-comparable items, adjusted operating margin is expected to be in the range of 10.0% to 10.5%. Net earnings are expected to be within a range of $3.23 to $3.77 per diluted share. Excluding the impact of non-comparable items, adjusted net earnings are expected to be within a range of $3.85 to $4.25 per diluted share. Full-year operating cash flow is expected to be in the range of $1,450 million to $1,600 million, while free cash flow is expected to be in the range of $800 million to $900 million.

This press release contains information about BorgWarner's financial results that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their closest GAAP financial measures below and in the Financial Results table above. The provision of these comparable GAAP financial measures for 2020 is not intended to indicate that BorgWarner is explicitly or implicitly providing projections on those GAAP financial measures, and actual results for such measures are likely to vary from those presented. The reconciliations include all information reasonably available to the Company at the date of this press release and the adjustments that management can reasonably predict.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to management, investors, and banking institutions in their analysis of the Company's business and operating performance. Management also uses this information for operational planning and decision-making purposes.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not and should not be considered a substitute for any GAAP measure. Additionally, because not all companies use identical calculations, the non-GAAP financial measures as presented by BorgWarner may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
