About BorgWarner
BorgWarner makes the hidden parts that make cars and trucks go. Its turbochargers, engine computers, electric motors and inverters go into gas cars, hybrids and electric vehicles. Almost every major automaker buys from them, and now they are also getting products ready for data centers and factory equipment.
The case for and against
Both sides of the story, in plain English.
- Profit Power
Sales slipped about 3 percent to nearly 3.5 billion dollars, but profit still grew. Net earnings hit 221 million dollars, up from 158 million a year ago, and earnings per share jumped 48 percent. Tight cost control is helping BorgWarner earn more even while car factories slow down.
- Debt Diet
BorgWarner cut its debt by 864 million dollars this quarter and still bought back about 175 million dollars of its own stock. It also raised its full year profit outlook to between 5 dollars 20 cents and 5 dollars 35 cents per share, up from 5 dollars 5 cents to 5 dollars 30 cents before.
- Shrinking Sales
Strip out currency swings and sales fell 3.1 percent, because fewer cars are being built and the battery business is weaker. The battery unit alone is expected to shrink by about 250 million dollars this year. Full year sales should land between 14.0 and 14.2 billion dollars, below last year's 14.3 billion.
- Cyclical Crunch
BorgWarner rises and falls with how many cars get built, and management now expects its car markets to shrink 1 to 2 percent this year. Free cash flow dropped to 195 million dollars this quarter, down from 492 million last quarter. With net margins near 3.4 percent, there is little cushion if production slows further.
