Net sales were $1,426 million for the second quarter 2020, down 44% from $2,551 million for the second quarter 2019 due primarily to production disruptions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, including production slowdowns and shutdowns. Net loss for the second quarter 2020 was $(98) million, or $(0.47) per diluted share, compared with net income of $172 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2019.  Adj. net loss per diluted share for the second quarter 2020 was $(0.14), down from adj. net income per diluted share of $1.00 for the second quarter 2019. Adj. net loss for the second quarter 2020 excluded net non-comparable items of $(0.33) per diluted share. Adj. net income for the second quarter 2019 excluded net non-comparable items of $(0.17) 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 net earnings was primarily due to the impact of lower revenue. The impact of foreign currencies decreased net sales by approximately $36 million and increased net loss by approximately $0.01 per diluted share for the second quarter 2020 compared with the second quarter 2019.

For the first six months of 2020, net sales were $3,705 million, down 28% from $5,117 million in the first six months of 2019 due primarily to production disruptions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Net income in the first six months of 2020 was $31 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with $332 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2019.  Adj. net income per share for the first six months of 2020 was $0.62, down from $1.99 for the first six months of 2019. Adj. net income for the first six months of 2020 excluded net non-comparable items of $(0.47) per diluted share. Adj. net income for the first six months of 2019 excluded net non-comparable items of $(0.39) 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 net earnings was primarily due to the impact of lower revenue. The impact of foreign currencies decreased net sales by approximately $88 million and decreased net earnings by approximately $0.02 per diluted share for the first six months of 2020 compared with the first six months of 2019.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $327 million for the first six months of 2020 compared with $467 million for the six months of 2019. Investments in capital expenditures, including tooling outlays, totaled $171 million for the first six months of 2020 compared with $244 million for the six months of 2019. Compared with the end of 2019, balance sheet debt at the end of the second quarter 2020 increased $1,099 million, while cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,171 million, in each case primarily as a result of the issuance of $1.1 billion in 2.650% senior notes due July 2027.

Engine Segment Results: Engine segment net sales were $826 million in the second quarter 2020 compared with $1,569 million in the second quarter 2019. Excluding the impact of foreign currencies, net sales were down 46% from the prior year. Adj. earnings before interest, income taxes and non-controlling interest ("Adj. EBIT") were $28 million in the second quarter 2020, compared to $249 million from the prior year. The decline in Adj. EBIT was primarily due to the impact of lower revenue. Excluding the impact of foreign currencies, Adj. EBIT was $29 million, down $220 million from the second quarter 2019.

Drivetrain Segment Results: Drivetrain segment net sales were $607 million in the second quarter 2020 compared with $998 million in the second quarter 2019. Excluding the impact of foreign currencies, net sales were down 38% from the prior year. Adj. EBIT was $1 million in the second quarter 2020, compared to $102 million from the prior year. The decline in Adj. EBIT was primarily due to the impact of lower revenue. Excluding the impact of foreign currencies, Adj. EBIT was $2 million, down $100 million from the second quarter 2019.

Full Year 2020 Guidance: The company is providing updated 2020 full year guidance. This guidance is for BorgWarner as currently consolidated and excludes the potential impact from the acquisition of Delphi Technologies PLC, which BorgWarner announced on January 28, 2020. Net sales are expected to be in the range of $8.0 billion to $8.4 billion, under the assumption that there are not additional production disruptions arising from COVID-19. This implies a year-over-year decrease in organic sales of 16% to 20%. The company expects its blended light-vehicle market to decline in the range of approximately 22% to 25% in 2020. Due to the impact of COVID-19, global light vehicle production expectations remain volatile. Foreign currencies are expected to result in a year-over-year decrease in sales of approximately $110 million, primarily due to the depreciation of the Euro, Chinese Renminbi and Korean Won against the U.S. dollar. The divestiture of the thermostat product line decreased year-over-year sales by approximately $30 million. Full-year operating cash flow is expected to be in the range of $700 million to $850 million, while free cash flow is expected to be in the range of $300 million to $400 million.
