MAUMEE, Ohio , June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to sell its Off-Highway business to Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ALSN; "Allison") for $2.7 billion. This represents 7x the expected 2025 adjusted EBITDA of the Off-Highway business. The transaction, which is subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions, is projected to close late in the fourth quarter of 2025.

"As we committed to last year, the sale of the Off-Highway business supports our strategy to become a streamlined light- and commercial-vehicle supplier with traditional and electrified systems," said R. Bruce McDonald, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dana. "This transaction is a critical step in our transformation, meaningfully strengthening our balance sheet, reducing complexity in our business, and allowing us to return significant capital to our shareholders. Combined with our ongoing $300 million cost-savings initiatives, this transaction enables a focused path to grow and innovate, invest in our business, and continue to improve our cost structure."

McDonald continued, "Allison will be an excellent owner of the business and will ensure it remains a market leader for drive and motion systems for off-highway vehicles and equipment."

Following the successful close of the transaction, Dana expects to generate $2.4 billion of net cash proceeds after tax, other transaction expenses, and assumed liabilities. Dana plans to repay approximately $2 billion of debt to achieve target net leverage of approximately 1x over the business cycle.

Additionally, the Dana board of directors has authorized a $1 billion capital return program through 2027 with $550 million of capital return to shareholders at or before closing of the transaction.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC are serving as Dana's financial advisors. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP is serving as Dana's legal counsel. Ernst and Young LLP is serving as transaction advisor.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which we have defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, equity grant expense, restructuring expense, non-service cost components of pension and other postretirement benefit costs 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 earnings (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss) or other results reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Expected Off-Highway adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA for the Off-Highway segment adjusted for excluded operations and certain corporate costs.

We have not provided a reconciliation of our Off-Highway adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure of net income (loss). Providing expected net income (loss) 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 (loss), including restructuring actions, asset impairments and certain income tax adjustments. See our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that include reconciliations with the most comparable GAAP measures that are indicative of the reconciliations that would be prepared upon completion of the period covered by the expected non-GAAP measure.
