Financial Information About Segments

      Incorporated herein by reference is Note Fourteen of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 56 and 57 of the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2002 (the “Company’s Annual Report”) filed as an exhibit to this report.

Narrative Description of Operating Segments

      Effective January 1, 2003, the Company will be reporting its results under its reorganized structure of two reportable operating segments: Driveline and Engine. The Driveline segment is primarily the combination of the TorqTransfer Systems and Transmission Systems segments. The Engine segment is primarily the combination of the Morse TEC, Air/ Fluid Systems, and Cooling Systems segments. For purposes of this report, the Company’s products fall into five reportable operating segments: Morse TEC, Air/ Fluid Systems, Cooling Systems, TorqTransfer Systems and Transmission Systems. Net revenues by segment for the three years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, are as follows (in millions of dollars):

      The sales information presented above excludes the sales by the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures. (See “Joint Ventures” section). Such sales totaled approximately $318 million in 2002, $301 million in 2001 and $348 million in 2000. Divested operations and businesses held for sale include the fuel systems business which was sold in April 2001 and the HVAC business which was sold in 2000.

      Morse TEC manufactures chain and chain systems, including HY-VO® front-wheel drive (“FWD”) transmission chain and four-wheel drive (“4WD”) chain, MORSE GEMINI® Chain Systems, timing chain and timing chain systems, crankshaft and camshaft sprockets, chain tensioners and snubbers and turbochargers for passenger car and commercial vehicle applications. These products are provided from facilities in North America, South America, Europe and Asia.

Table of Contents

      HY-VO® chain is used in transmissions and for 4WD transfer case applications. Transmission chain is used to transfer power from the engine to the transmission. The Company’s MORSE GEMINI® Chain System emits significantly less chain pitch frequency noise than conventional transmission chain systems. The chain in a transfer case distributes power between the front and rear output shafts which, in turn, drive the front and rear wheels. The Company believes it is the world’s leading manufacturer of chain for FWD transmissions and 4WD transfer cases.

      The Company’s timing chain system is used on Ford’s family of overhead cam engines, including the Duratech and Triton and new in-line 4 cylinder engines, as well as Chrysler’s 2.7 liter, 3.7 liter, 4.7 liter and 5.7 liter overhead cam engines. The Company has been selected to provide timing systems for a number of Japanese and European applications. The Company believes that it is the world’s leading manufacturer of timing chain systems.

      Morse TEC also provides turbochargers for passenger car, commercial vehicle and industrial applications for diesel and gasoline engine manufacturers in Europe, North America, South America and Asia. Morse TEC has greatly benefited from the growth in turbocharger demand in Europe. This growth is linked to the increasing demand for diesel engine passenger cars. Benefits of turbochargers in both passenger car and commercial vehicle applications include increased power for a given engine size, improved fuel economy and significantly reduced emissions. The Company believes it is a leading manufacturer of turbochargers worldwide.

      Air/ Fluid Systems designs and manufactures sophisticated electro-mechanical, mechanical and electronic components and systems used for automated transmissions, fluid pumps, engine air intake modules, engine emission controls and actuation systems. Key products for transmission controls include single function solenoids, complex solenoids and multi-function modules. The Company also manufactures a wide variety of fluid pumps, including engine hydraulic pumps for variable cam timing and engine lubrication. Key products for engine air intake management include throttle bodies, intake manifolds, throttle position sensors and complete engine induction systems. The Company also designs and manufactures products to control emissions and improve gas mileage such as electric air pumps, air control valves and exhaust gas recirculation valves. These products are provided from facilities in the United States and France.

      Cooling Systems is a global provider of engine cooling solutions. The group manufactures and markets air sensing fan drives that can be mechanically controlled and electronically controlled fan drives that sense and respond to multiple cooling requirements simultaneously. Cooling Systems also manufactures and markets polymer fans for engine cooling systems. Product features provide improved vehicle fuel economy and reduced engine emissions while minimizing parasitic horsepower loss. These advanced cooling systems products are manufactured by facilities in the U.S., Germany, U.K., Brazil, Korea, and China. The Company is a leading global provider of such products, but competes with other large independent producers. This business serves the global light, medium, and heavy vehicle markets, as well as selected off-highway applications.

      TorqTransfer Systems’ products include 4WD and all-wheel drive transfer cases and torque management systems to transfer torque within the drivetrain for rear wheel drive and FWD based vehicles. The main focus is on electronically controlled torque management devices and systems. TorqTransfer Systems’ products are manufactured in North America, Asia and Europe.

      Transfer cases are installed primarily on light trucks and sport-utility vehicles (“SUVs”). A transfer case attaches to the transmission and distributes torque to the front and rear axles for 4WD, improving vehicle control during off-road use and in a variety of road conditions. The Company has

Table of Contents

      Sales of 4WD transfer cases represented approximately 22%, 20% and 19% of the Company’s total revenues for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company believes it is the world’s leading independent manufacturer of 4WD transfer cases, producing over one million transfer cases in 2002. The Company’s largest customer of 4WD transfer cases is Ford Motor Company. The Company supplies the majority of the 4WD transfer cases for Ford, including those installed in the Ford Explorer, the Ford Expedition, the Ford F-150 and Ranger pick-up trucks, the Mercury Mountaineer and the Lincoln Navigator. The Company also began supplying transfer cases to several new General Motors applications in 2002 including the Hummer H2, the Cadillac Escalade, the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, along with the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL.

      The Company’s newest four-wheel drive product is the INTERACTIVE TORQUE MANAGEMENT^TM (“ITM”) system. This product was introduced on the Acura MDX in 2000 and was launched on the new Honda Pilot in 2002. ITM^TM uses electronically controlled clutches to distribute power to the individual rear wheels when traction is required. The Company is actively involved in developing this technology for new applications in both front wheel drive based cross-over vehicles and passenger cars. A variant of this product, ITM 1^TM, which features a single clutch pack in front of the rear axle differential, was launched on the Hyundai Santa Fe in 2002.

      The Company engineers and manufactures components for automatic transmissions and the systems that combine such components in North America, Asia and Europe. Principal product lines include friction plates, one-way clutches, transmission bands and torque converter lock-up clutches for automatic transmissions. The Company is a supplier to virtually every major automatic transmission manufacturer in the world. The Company’s 50%-owned joint venture in Japan, NSK-Warner Kabushiki Kaisha (“NSK-Warner”), is a leading producer of friction plates and one-way clutches in Japan.

Joint Ventures

      As of December 31, 2002, the Company had seven joint ventures in which it has a less-than-100% ownership interest. Results from five of these ventures, in which the Company is the majority owner, are consolidated as part of the Company’s results. The Company’s ownership interest in NSK-Warner and Hitachi Warner is 50% each. Such interests are reported using the equity method of accounting.

Table of Contents

      Management of the unconsolidated joint ventures is shared with the Company’s respective joint venture partners. Certain information concerning the Company’s joint ventures is set forth below:

      See Note Fourteen of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 56 and 57 of the Company’s Annual Report for geographic information.

Customers

      Approximately 79% of the Company’s total sales in 2002 were to automotive OEMs, with the remaining 21% of the Company’s sales to a diversified group of industrial, construction and agricultural vehicle manufacturers, auto part manufacturers and to distributors of automotive aftermarket and replacement parts.

      The Company’s worldwide sales in 2002 to Ford, DaimlerChrysler and General Motors Corporation constituted approximately 26%, 20% and 12%, respectively, of its 2002 consolidated sales. Approximately 32% of consolidated sales for 2002 were outside the United States, including exports. However, a substantial portion of such sales was to foreign OEMs of vehicles that are, in turn, exported to the United States. See Note Fourteen of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 56 and 57 of the Company’s Annual Report.

      The Company’s automotive products are generally sold directly to OEMs substantially pursuant to either negotiated long-term supply agreements or terms and conditions as may be modified by the parties. Deliveries are subject to periodic authorizations based upon the production schedules of the OEMs. The Company ships its products directly from its plants to the OEMs.

Sales and Marketing

      Each of the Company’s operating segments has its own sales function headed by a vice president of sales. Account executives for each group are assigned to serve specific OEM customers for one or more of a business group’s products. Such account executives spend the majority of their time in direct contact with OEM purchasing and engineering employees and are responsible for servicing existing

Research and Development

      Each of the Company’s operating segments has its own research and development (“R&D”) organization. Five hundred and thirty-four employees, including engineers, mechanics and technicians, are engaged in R&D activities at Company facilities worldwide. The Company also operates testing facilities such as prototype, measurement and calibration, life testing and dynamometer laboratories.

      By working closely with the OEMs and anticipating their future product needs, the Company’s R&D personnel conceive, design, develop and manufacture new proprietary automotive components and systems. R&D personnel also work to improve current products and production processes. The Company believes its commitment to R&D will allow it to obtain new orders from its OEM customers.

      Consistent with its strategy of developing technologically innovative products, the Company spent approximately $109.1 million, $104.5 million and $112.0 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, on R&D activities. Not included in the reported R&D activities were customer-sponsored R&D activities that were approximately $14.2 million, $20.0 million and $12.5 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Patents and Licenses

      The Company has approximately 3,300 active domestic and foreign patents and patent applications pending or under preparation, and receives royalties from licensing patent rights to others. While it considers its patents on the whole to be important, the Company does not consider any single patent, group of related patents or any single license essential to its operations in the aggregate or to the operations of any of the Company’s business groups individually. The expiration of the patents individually and in the aggregate is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or future operating results. The Company owns numerous trademarks, some of which are valuable but none of which are essential to its business in the aggregate.

      The Company owns the “BorgWarner” and “Borg-Warner Automotive” trade names and housemarks, and variations thereof, which are material to the Company’s business.

Competition

      Each of the Company’s operating segments competes worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors which produce and sell similar products. Price, quality and technological innovation are the primary elements of competition. Competitors include vertically integrated units of the Company’s major OEM customers, as well as a large number of independent domestic and international suppliers, some of which were formerly part of the Company’s OEM customers. Many of these companies are larger and have greater resources than the Company.

      A number of the Company’s major OEM customers manufacture, for their own use and for others, products which compete with the Company’s products. Although these OEM customers have indicated that they will continue to rely on outside suppliers, the OEMs could elect to manufacture products to meet their own requirements or to compete with the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s business will not be adversely affected by increased competition in the markets in which it operates.

      For many of its products, the Company’s competitors include suppliers in other parts of the world that enjoy economic advantages such as lower labor costs, lower health care costs and, in some cases, export subsidies and/or raw materials subsidies.

Employees

      As of December 31, 2002, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries had approximately 14,000 salaried and hourly employees (as compared with approximately 13,000 employees at December 31, 2001), of which approximately 8,600 were U.S. employees. Approximately 28% of the Company’s domestic hourly workers are unionized. The hourly workers at the Company’s European facilities are also unionized. The Company believes its present relations with employees to be satisfactory.

Raw Materials

      Each of the Company’s operating segments believes that its supplies of raw materials for manufacturing requirements in 2003 are adequate and are available from multiple sources. It is common, however, for customers to require their prior approval before certain raw materials or components can be used, thereby reducing sources of supply that would otherwise be available. Manufacturing operations for each of the Company’s operating segments are dependent upon natural gas, fuel oil, and electricity.

Environmental Regulation and Proceedings

      The Company’s operations are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing, among other things, emissions to air, discharge to waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and other materials. The Company believes that it has operated its business and facilities in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, many of which provide for substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations. However, the operation of automotive parts manufacturing plants entails risks in these areas even for a company complying with all laws, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur material costs or liabilities. In addition, through various acquisitions over the years, the Company has acquired a number of manufacturing facilities and there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur material costs and liabilities relating to activities which predate the Company’s ownership. In addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required in order to comply with evolving environmental and health and safety laws, regulations or requirements that may be adopted or imposed in the future.

      The Company believes that the overall impact of compliance with regulations and legislation protecting the environment will not have a material effect on its financial position or future operating results, although no assurance can be given in this regard. Capital expenditures and expenses in 2002 attributable to compliance with such legislation were not material.

      The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may presently be liable for the cost of cleanup and other remedial activities at 44 such sites. Responsibility for cleanup and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.

      Based on information available to the Company which, in most cases, includes: an estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public companies, will fully pay the costs apportioned to them; currently available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimated remediation costs; remediation alternatives; estimated legal fees; and other factors, the Company has established a reserve for indicated environmental liabilities in the aggregate amount of approximately $20.3 million at December 31, 2002. The Company expects this amount to be expended over the next three to five years.

8

Table of Contents

      The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or future operating results, generally either because estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not large or because liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.

      In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities relating to the past operations of Kuhlman Electric. During 2000, Kuhlman Electric notified the Company that it discovered potential environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant while undertaking an expansion of the plant.

      The Company has been working with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and Kuhlman Electric to investigate the extent of the contamination. The investigation has revealed the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) in portions of the soil at the plant and neighboring areas. Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, were sued in several related lawsuits, which claim personal and property damage. The Company has moved to be dismissed from some of these lawsuits.

      The Company’s lawsuit against Kuhlman Electric seeking declaration of the scope of the Company’s contractual indemnity has been amicably resolved and dismissed. The Company believes that the reserve for environmental liabilities is sufficient to cover any liability associated with this matter. However, due to the nature of environmental liability matters, there can be no assurance that the actual amount of environmental liabilities will not exceed the amount reserved.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

      Patent infringement actions were filed against the Company’s turbocharger unit in Europe in late 2001 and in 2002 by Honeywell International. The Dusseldorf District Court in Germany entered a preliminary injunction against the Company on July 9, 2002 limiting the Company’s ability to manufacture and sell a certain variable turbine geometry (“VTG”) turbocharger in Germany until a patent hearing, then scheduled for December 2002.

      In order to continue uninterrupted service to its customer, the Company paid Honeywell $25 million in July 2002 so that it could continue to make and deliver disputed car turbochargers through June of 2003. The agreement with Honeywell partially settles litigation, suspends the July 2002 preliminary injunction and provides for a license to deliver until June 2003. As part of the agreement,

In certain such actions, plaintiffs request punitive or other damages that may not be covered by insurance. The Company believes that it has established adequate provisions for litigation liabilities in its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These provisions include both legal fees and possible outcomes of legal proceedings.

      It is the opinion of the Company that the various asserted claims and litigation in which the Company is currently involved will not materially affect its financial position or future operating results, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome for any such claim or litigation.

      There were no matters submitted to the security holders of the Company during the fourth quarter of 2002.
