Insights

An examination of BorgWarner Inc.'s financial results reveals several key points of interest for stakeholders. The reported 6.2% increase in Q4 net sales and a 12.4% increase for the full year indicate a robust demand for the company's products. This is particularly noteworthy given the competitive nature of the automotive parts industry. The company's ability to achieve organic sales growth of 4.4% in Q4 and 12.5% for the full year, despite the exclusion of foreign currency impacts and M&A activities, suggests a strong underlying business performance.

From a cash flow perspective, BorgWarner's free cash flow of $679 million in Q4 and $565 million for the full year is a testament to its operational efficiency and financial health. The emphasis on eProduct sales, which are expected to rise from approximately $2.0 billion in 2023 to between $2.5 billion and $2.8 billion in 2024, underscores the company's strategic pivot towards electrification—a critical growth area in the automotive industry.

The guidance for 2024, with net sales projected between $14.4 billion and $14.9 billion, reflects cautious optimism. The expected operating margin of 8.5% to 8.9% and adjusted operating margin of 9.2% to 9.6% suggest that BorgWarner is anticipating maintaining profitability while investing in growth areas such as eMobility. These margins are particularly relevant when compared to industry benchmarks, as they can indicate the company's competitive position and operational effectiveness.

Looking at BorgWarner's strategic partnerships and acquisition, the collaboration with FinDreams Battery and the joint venture with Shaanxi Fast Auto Drive Group are significant developments. These alliances are set to bolster BorgWarner's presence in the electric commercial vehicle market, a segment that is expected to grow substantially in the coming years. The exclusive rights to localize LFP battery packs in multiple regions could provide BorgWarner with a competitive edge in the supply chain for electric commercial vehicles.

The acquisition of Eldor Corporation's Electric Hybrid Systems business segment is another strategic move that enhances BorgWarner's ePropulsion portfolio. This expansion in high-voltage power electronics is crucial as the automotive industry continues to shift towards electric and hybrid vehicles. The ability to offer a comprehensive suite of eMobility solutions can potentially open up new markets and customer segments for BorgWarner.

Furthermore, the contracts with a major global OEM and Xpeng Motors for the supply of high voltage coolant heaters and eMotor components, respectively, reflect the company's growing influence in the electric vehicle (EV) components market. These contracts not only contribute to revenue but also solidify BorgWarner's position as a key player in the EV supply chain.

BorgWarner's focus on eMobility is strategically aligned with current automotive industry trends towards electrification. The transition to electric and hybrid vehicles is a global movement, with governments and consumers increasingly pushing for cleaner transportation options. BorgWarner's emphasis on developing high-voltage inverters and battery packs for commercial vehicles is particularly relevant, as this sector is poised for significant growth due to the need for sustainable freight and delivery solutions.

The company's ability to secure contracts for supplying components to electric light-vehicle platforms, including trucks and SUVs, indicates its adaptability to changing market demands. With the automotive industry facing a paradigm shift, BorgWarner's strategic investments and product development efforts appear well-positioned to capitalize on new opportunities within the eMobility space.

The mention of blade cells in the strategic relationship with FinDreams Battery is noteworthy, as this technology is gaining traction for its potential benefits in energy density and safety. BorgWarner's involvement with blade cell technology could signal its commitment to leading-edge solutions in the electric battery domain, which may be a critical differentiator in the competitive landscape.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner Inc. (NYSE: BWA) today reported fourth quarter and full-year results.

Charging Forward Update:

  • BorgWarner has announced a strategic relationship agreement with FinDreams Battery, a subsidiary of BYD Company Limited. Under this agreement, BorgWarner will be the only non-OEM localized manufacturer, unaffiliated with FinDreams Battery, with rights to localize LFP battery packs for commercial vehicles utilizing FinDreams Battery blade cells in Europe, the Americas, and select regions of Asia Pacific.
  • BorgWarner has announced a joint venture with Shaanxi Fast Auto Drive Group to develop a high-voltage inverter application for the Chinese electric commercial vehicle market. This high-voltage inverter for commercial vehicles is expected to strengthen BorgWarner's commercial vehicle product portfolio.
  • BorgWarner has completed its acquisition of the Electric Hybrid Systems business segment of Eldor Corporation ("Eldor"). The acquisition is an important complement to the ePropulsion portfolio, especially as it relates to expansion in high-voltage power electronics beyond the inverter.

Net sales were $3,522 million for the fourth quarter 2023, an increase of 6.2% from $3,317 million for the fourth quarter 2022, primarily due to increased demand for the Company's products and higher industry production compared to the prior year. Net earnings for the fourth quarter 2023 were $149 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $172 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2022. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter 2023 were $0.90, down from adjusted net earnings per diluted share of $0.94 for the fourth quarter 2022. Adjusted net earnings for the fourth quarter 2023 excluded net non-comparable items of $(0.26) per diluted share, while adjusted net earnings for the fourth quarter 2022 excluded net non-comparable items of $(0.21) 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. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share was flat, primarily due to the impact of higher adjusted operating income, which was offset by a higher effective tax rate.

Full Year 2024 Guidance: The Company has provided 2024 full year guidance. Net sales are expected to be in the range of $14.4 billion to $14.9 billion, compared with 2023 sales of $14.2 billion. This implies a year-over-year organic increase in sales of 1% to 5%. The Company expects its 2024 eProduct sales to be $2.5 billion to $2.8 billion, up from approximately $2.0 billion in 2023. The Company expects its weighted light and commercial vehicle markets to be in the range of down (2.5)% to roughly flat in 2024. Foreign currencies are expected to have a minimal year-over-year impact on full-year 2024 sales.

Operating margin is expected to be in the range of 8.5% to 8.9%. Excluding the impact of non-comparable items and the add back of intangible asset amortization expense, adjusted operating margin is expected to be in the range of 9.2% to 9.6%. This guidance includes an expected negative adjusted operating income impact due to the acquisition of the electric hybrid systems business segment of Eldor Corporation. Excluding the impact of the Eldor acquisition, adjusted operating margin is expected to be in the range of 9.6% to 9.9%. Net earnings are expected to be within a range of $3.56 to $3.88 per diluted share. Excluding the impact of non-comparable items, adjusted net earnings are expected to be within a range of $3.65 to $4.00 per diluted share. Full-year operating cash flow is expected to be in the range of $1,325 million to $1,375 million, while free cash flow is expected to be in the range of $475 million to $575 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 2024 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.
