Engine
 
The Engine Group develops products to manage engines for fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and enhanced performance. Its products currently fall into the following major categories: turbochargers, chain products, emissions systems, thermal systems, diesel cold start and gasoline ignition technology, tire pressure monitoring systems and diesel cabin heaters.
 
The Engine Group provides turbochargers for light-vehicle, commercial-vehicle and off-road applications for diesel and gasoline engine manufacturers in Europe, North America, South America and Asia. The Engine Group has greatly benefited from the growth in turbocharger demand in Europe. This growth is linked to increasing demand for diesel engines in light-vehicles which typically utilize turbochargers and for turbocharged gasoline engines. Benefits of turbochargers in both light-vehicle 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.

Table of Contents

 
Sales of turbochargers for light-vehicles represented approximately 18%, 16%, and 16% of the Company’s total revenues for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company currently supplies light-vehicle turbochargers to VW/Audi, Renault, PSA, DaimlerChrysler, Hyundai and Fiat, and supplies commercial-vehicle turbochargers to Caterpillar, John Deere, DaimlerChrysler, International, Deutz and MAN. The Company expects to supply the next generation of light-vehicle turbochargers in Europe to VW/Audi, Renault, PSA, BMW, Ford and Fiat. In 2004, the Company announced that it would supply the 3.0 liter, 6-cylinder engine for the BMW 5-series with its regulated two-stage turbocharging system known as R2S®. The system allows continuously variable adaptation of the turbine and compressor side for every operating point of the engine. In 2005, the Company announced the start of production of its R2S® for medium truck applications and that it would supply turbochargers for VW/Audi’s 2.0 liter gasoline direct injection engine and for their first dual-charged 1.4 liter gasoline direct injection engine. In 2006, the Company launched a high temperature variable geometry turbine (“VTG®”) for Porsche 3.6 liter gasoline application, another R2S® application for a DaimlerChrysler light-truck called the Sprinter and a VTG® for the Hyundai A-engine family. These products are provided from facilities in Europe, North America, South America and Asia.
 
The Engine Group designs and manufactures products to control emissions and improve fuel economy such as electric air pumps, turbo actuators which use integrated electronics to precisely control turbocharger speed and pressure ratio, and exhaust gas recirculation valves for gasoline and diesel applications. The Engine Group also manufactures a wide variety of fluid pumps, including engine oil pumps for engine and transmission lubrication, and products for engine air intake management. Other products for engine air intake management include throttle bodies, electronic throttle control, and complete engine induction modules. These products are provided from facilities in North America, Europe and Asia.
 
The Engine Group’s chain and chain systems products include timing chain and timing drive systems, crankshaft and camshaft sprockets, tensioners, guides and snubbers, HY-VO® Front-Wheel Drive (“FWD”) transmission chain and Four-Wheel Drive (“4WD”) chain, and MORSE GEMINI® chain systems for light-vehicle and commercial-vehicle applications.
 
The Company’s timing chain systems are used on Ford’s family of overhead cam engines, including the Duratech and Triton, and in-line 4 cylinder engines, as well as on Chrysler’s 2.7 liter, 3.7 liter, 4.7 liter, 5.7 liter and 6.1 liter engines, including the Hemi applications. In addition, the Company provides timing systems to a number of Asian OEMs and their North American transplant operations, including Honda, Nissan, and Hyundai, and to several European OEMs. The Company believes that it is the world’s leading manufacturer of timing chain systems.
 
The Engine Group has reached full production of its first high-volume variable cam timing (“VCT”) systems for a new family of GM V6 engines. VCT is a means of precisely controlling the flow of air into and out of an engine by allowing the camshaft to be dynamically phased relative to its crankshaft. The Company’s VCT system includes Torsional Assisttm technology, which utilizes camshaft torque as its main actuation energy, instead of the conventional oil-pressure actuated approach. The VCT systems are utilized by GM’s new 3.5 liter and 3.9 liter V-6 engines in the all-new Saturn Aura, Chevrolet Impala and Pontiac G6. HY-VO® chain is used to transfer power from the engine to the drivetrain. 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. These products are provided from facilities in North America, Europe and Asia.
 
The Engine Group believes it is a leading global provider of engine thermal solutions for truck, agricultural and off-highway applications. The group designs, manufactures and markets viscous fan drives that control fans to sense and respond to multiple cooling requirements. The Engine Group also manufactures and markets polymer fans for engine cooling systems. The Company’s thermal products provide improved vehicle fuel economy and reduced engine emissions while minimizing parasitic horsepower loss. These advanced thermal systems products are provided from facilities in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. The Company has been awarded the “standard position” for its products at the major global heavy truck producers, rather than its previous “optional position.”

In 2005, the Company acquired 69.4% of the outstanding shares of BERU Aktiengesellschaft (“BERU”), headquartered in Ludwigsburg, Germany. BERU’s operating results are included within the Engine Group. BERU is a leading global automotive supplier of diesel cold starting technology (glow plugs and instant starting systems); gasoline ignition technology (spark plugs and ignition coils); and electronic control units and sensor technology (tire pressure sensors, diesel cabin heaters and selected sensors). BERU is represented in Europe, Asia and North America.
 
Drivetrain
 
The Drivetrain Group leverages the Company’s expertise in wet friction clutches, mechanical coupling devices, and control systems, enabling efficient transmission of engine torque to the vehicle drivetrain, and management of torque distribution to the driven wheels. The Drivetrain Group’s major products are transmission components and systems, and all-wheel drive (“AWD”) torque management systems.
 
Drivetrain Group designs and manufactures automatic transmission components and modules in North America, Asia and Europe. Principal product lines include:
 
  •  Friction products:  friction plates, transmission bands, torque converter clutches, friction clutch modules.
 
  •  Mechanical products:  One-way clutches, torsional vibration dampers
 
  •  Controls products:  Electro-hydraulic solenoids, solenoid modules, high pressure solenoids for automated manual transmissions (“AMT”s).
 
  •  Dual clutch transmissions products:  Dual clutch modules, torsional vibration dampers, Mechatronic control modules.
 
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. NSK-Warner is also the joint venture partner with a 40% interest in the Drivetrain Group’s Korean subsidiary, BorgWarner Transmission Systems Korea, Inc.
 
In 2006 the Drivetrain Group acquired the high-pressure solenoid product lines of Eaton Corporation. These solenoids are used in AMTs installed on manual gearboxes. AMTs are a growing niche of the entry-level city-car and light commercial-vehicle segments in Europe and some Asian markets.
 
In 2003, the Drivetrain Group launched its proprietary dual clutch transmission technology known as DualTronic® on Volkswagen Audi Group’s revolutionary Direct Shift Gearbox (“DSG”), featured in the VW Golf R32 and the Audi TT 3.2. This technology provides the smooth-shifting convenience of an automatic transmission with the fuel efficiency of a manual transmission, and quicker shifts than either. Through advanced electro-hydraulic controls and a unique two-clutch wet-friction system, DualTronic® technology eliminates the interruption in powerflow that drivers experience with a manual or automated manual transmission. This technology is expanding across the entire VW Group vehicle family, including VW, Audi, Skoda and SEAT vehicles sold worldwide.
 
In conventional automatic transmissions, there has been a global market trend from four and five speeds to six, seven, and even eight speed transmissions. Transmissions with more speeds improve fuel economy and vehicle performance. The Company is a leading supplier of friction, mechanical, and controls products to every major automatic transmission producer worldwide.
 
The Drivetrain Group’s torque management products include 4WD, AWD transfer cases and systems for rear-wheel drive vehicles, and torque management products and systems to transfer torque within the drivetrain for FWD/AWD based vehicles. The main focus is on electronically controlled (active) torque management devices and systems. Other torque management products include synchronizer rings and systems for application in manual, automated manual, and dual clutch transmissions.
 
Transfer cases are installed primarily on light-trucks, sport-utility vehicles (“SUV”s), and rear-wheel drive based cross-over utility vehicles (“CUV”s) and passenger cars. 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 designed and developed an exclusive 4WD TORQUE-ON-DEMAND® (“TOD®”) transfer case system, which allows vehicles to automatically shift from two-wheel drive to 4WD when electronic data and sensors indicate it is necessary. The TOD® transfer case is available on the Ford Explorer, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, Kia Sorrento, and certain SsangYong vehicles.
 
Sales of rear-wheel drive based transfer cases and components represented approximately 10%, 12% and 18% of the Company’s total revenues for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company supplies the majority of the 4WD transfer cases to Ford, including those installed in the Ford Explorer, the Ford Expedition, the Ford F-150, Ranger pick-up trucks, the Mercury Mountaineer and the Lincoln Navigator. The Company also supplies transfer cases to a number of General Motors applications including the Hummer H2 and H3; the Cadillac Escalade, STS and SRX; and the GMC Yukon Denali. The Company began supplying transfer cases for the Audi Q7 in 2005 and to Great Wall Motor Company Limited, a leading light-truck and SUV manufacturer in China, in 2006. The Company also supplies 4WD transfer cases to several other Asia-based OEMs.
 
The Company supplies a family of AWD products for both volume and performance applications. One of the Company’s AWD iTractm products is the T-Tractm torque transfer system, formerly called ITM II®. The Company is actively involved in developing this technology for new applications in both FWD based CUVs and passenger cars. This product was launched on the Honda Pilot in 2002 and on the Honda Ridgeline, a midsize pickup, in 2005. ITM® uses electronically controlled clutches to distribute power to the individual rear wheels when traction is required. A variant of this product, ITM2etm, which features a single clutch pack in front of the rear axle differential is supplied to Hyundai for the Hyundai Tucson and KIA Sportage The latest design, ITM3e®, was launched on the new Hyundai Santa Fe and Chrysler Pacifica in 2006.
 
The Company’s drivetrain products are manufactured in North America, Europe and Asia.
 
Joint Ventures
 
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had 12 joint ventures in which it had a less-than-100% ownership interest. Results from the seven ventures in which the Company is the majority owner are consolidated as part of the Company’s results.

Financial Information About Geographic Areas
 
See Note 21 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report for financial information about geographic areas, which is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Approximately 60% of consolidated sales for 2006 was outside the United States, including exports. However, a portion of such sales was to OEMs headquartered outside the United States that produce vehicles that are, in turn, exported to the United States.
 
Customers
 
Approximately 75% of the Company’s total sales in 2006 was for light-vehicle applications, with the remaining 25% of the Company’s sales to a diversified group of commercial truck, bus, construction and agricultural vehicle manufacturers, and to distributors of aftermarket replacement parts.
 
For the most recent three-year period, the Company’s worldwide sales to the following customers were approximately as follows:
 
                         
Customer
  2006     2005     2004  
 
Ford
    13 %     16 %     21 %
Volkswagen
    13 %     13 %     10 %
DaimlerChrysler
    11 %     12 %     14 %
General Motors
    9 %     9 %     10 %
 
The Company’s 2006 consolidated sales do not include the approximately $676 million of sales made by the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures. If sales from these unconsolidated joint ventures were included in 2006 consolidated sales, our worldwide sales to Toyota Motor Corporation and its affiliates would be approximately 7% of consolidated sales.
 
The Company’s automotive products are generally sold directly to OEMs substantially pursuant to negotiated annual contracts, long-term supply agreements or terms and conditions as may be modified by

Table of Contents

the parties. Deliveries are subject to periodic authorizations based upon the production schedules of the OEMs. The Company typically ships its products directly from its plants to the OEMs.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
Each of the Company’s business units within its two operating segments has its own sales function. Account executives for each business unit are assigned to serve specific OEM customers for one or more of a business unit’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 business and for identifying and obtaining new business. Because of their close relationship with the OEMs, account executives are able to identify and meet customers’ needs based upon their knowledge of the Company’s products and design and manufacturing capabilities. Upon securing a new order, account executives participate in product launch team activities and serve as a key interface with the customers.
 
In addition, between the Engine segment and the Drivetrain segment, sales and marketing employees work together to explore cross-development opportunities for the business units. The development of DualTronic®, the Company’s wet-clutch and control-system technology for a new-concept automated transmission, is an example of a successful collaboration.
 
Seasonality
 
The Company’s business is moderately seasonal because the Company’s largest North American customers typically halt vehicle production for approximately two weeks in July and one week in December. Additionally, customers in Europe and Asia typically shut down vehicle production during portions of July or August and one week in the fourth quarter. Accordingly, the Company’s third and fourth quarters may reflect those practices.
 
Research and Development
 
The Company conducts advanced engine and drivetrain research at the segment level. This advanced engineering function looks to leverage electronics and the Company’s expertise across product lines to create new engine and drivetrain systems and modules that can be commercialized. A venture capital fund that was created by the Company as seed money for new innovation and collaboration across businesses is managed by this function.
 
In addition, each of the Company’s operating segments has its own research and development (“R&D”) organization. The Company has approximately 800 employees, including engineers, mechanics and technicians, engaged in R&D activities at facilities worldwide. The Company also operates testing facilities such as prototype, measurement and calibration, life cycle 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.
 
The following table presents the Company’s gross and net expenditures on research and development activities:

expenditures upon billing of services performed. The Company has contracts with several customers at the Company’s various R&D locations. No such contract exceeded $5.0 million in any of the years presented.
 
Patents and Licenses
 
The Company has approximately 3,800 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, any 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
 
The Company’s operating segments compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors which produce and sell similar products. Many of these competitors are larger and have greater resources than the Company. Price, quality and technological innovation are the primary elements of competition.
 
The Company’s major competitors include:
 
     
Product Type: Engine
 
Name of Competitor
 
Turbochargers:
  Honeywell International Inc.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
Chains:
  Tsubaki Group
Iwis
Emissions products:
  Kolbenschmidt Pierburg AG
Valeo
Bosch
Thermal products:
  Behr GmbH & Co.
Horton/Sachs
Usui
Diesel cold start technology:

NGK
 
     
Product Type: Drivetrain
 
Name of Competitor
 
Torque transfer products:
  Magna International Inc.
JTEKT
Transmission products:

INA-Schaeffler
 
In addition, 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. See also Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Employees
 
As of December 31, 2006, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries had approximately 17,400 salaried and hourly employees (as compared with approximately 17,400 employees at December 31, 2005), of which approximately 7,000 were U.S. employees. Included in these 17,400 employees are approximately 2,600 BERU employees. Approximately 23% of the Company’s U.S. work force is unionized. The hourly workers at the Company’s non-U.S. operations are typically unionized. The Company believes its present relations with employees to be satisfactory.
 
Raw Materials
 
Continuing a trend which began in 2004, several raw materials used in the Company’s products hit record pricing levels, including steel, copper, resins, nickel and certain alloying elements. This was due to a host of supply and demand factors.
 
Despite these challenges, the Company used a variety of tactics in order to limit the impact of inflationary prices and supply shortages. The Company formed a global procurement organization to accelerate: cost reductions, purchases from lower cost regions, risk mitigation efforts, and collaborative buying activities. In addition, the Company used long-term contracts, cost sharing arrangements, design changes, customer buy programs, and hedging instruments to help control costs. The Company intends to use similar measures in 2007 and beyond.
 
For 2007, each of the Company’s operating segments believes that its supplies of raw materials and energy are adequate and available from multiple sources to support its manufacturing requirements. 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 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 clean-up and other remedial activities at 35 such sites. Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.
 
The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Generally, this is because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not large or the liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter.
 
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 cost apportioned to them; currently available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimated remediation and consulting costs; remediation alternatives; estimated legal fees; and other factors), the Company has established an accrual for indicated environmental liabilities with a balance at December 31, 2006, of approximately $20 million. Excluding the Crystal Springs site discussed below for which $10.8 million has been accrued, the Company has accrued amounts that do not exceed $3.0 million related to any individual site and management does not believe that the costs related to any of these other individual sites will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. The Company expects to pay out substantially all of the accrued environmental liability over the next three to five years.
 
In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation (“Kuhlman Electric”), the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities, then unknown to the Company, relating to the past operations of Kuhlman Electric. The liabilities at issue result from the operations of Kuhlman

Electric that pre-date the Company’s acquisition of Kuhlman Electric’s parent company, Kuhlman Corporation, in 1999. 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 is continuing to work with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and Kuhlman Electric to investigate and remediate to the extent necessary, if any, historical contamination at the plant and surrounding area. Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, were sued in numerous related lawsuits, in which multiple claimants alleged personal injury and property damage.
 
The Company and other defendants, including the Company’s subsidiary Kuhlman Corporation, entered into a settlement in July 2005 regarding approximately 90% of personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination. In exchange for, among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits, the defendants agreed to pay a total sum of up to $39.0 million in settlement funds. The settlement was paid in three approximately equal installments. The first two payments of $12.9 million were made in the third and fourth quarters of 2005 and $13.0 million was paid in the first quarter of 2006.
 
The same group of defendants entered into a settlement in October 2005 regarding approximately 9% of personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination. In exchange for, among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits, the defendants agreed to pay a total sum of up to $5.4 million in settlement funds. The settlement was paid in two approximately equal installments in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. With this settlement, the Company and other defendants have resolved about 99% of the known personal injury and property damage claims relating to the alleged environmental contamination. The cost of this settlement has been recorded in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
Our industry is cyclical and our results of operations will be adversely affected by industry downturns.
 
Automotive and truck production and sales are cyclical and sensitive to general economic conditions and other factors. Significant reduction in automotive or truck production would have a material adverse effect on our sales to original equipment manufacturers and our financial position and operating results.
 
We are dependent on sport-utility vehicle and light-truck market segments.
 
Some of our products, in particular four-wheel drive transfer cases, are currently used exclusively in four-wheel drive systems for sport-utility vehicles and light-trucks. For 2006 for example, sales of rear-wheel drive transfer cases represented 10% of our total consolidated revenue. Any significant reduction in production in this market segment or loss of business in this market segment would have a material adverse effect on our sales to original equipment manufacturers and our financial position and operating results.
 
We face strong competition.
 
We compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell products similar to ours. Price, quality and technological innovation are the primary elements of competition. Our competitors include vertically integrated units of our major original equipment manufacturer customers, as well as a large number of independent domestic and international suppliers. We are not as large as a number of these companies and do not have as many financial or other resources. The competitive environment has changed dramatically over the past few years as our traditional U.S. original equipment manufacturer customers, faced with intense international competition, have expanded their worldwide sourcing of components. As a result, we have experienced competition from 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 or raw materials subsidies. Increased competition could adversely affect our businesses.
 
We are under substantial pressure from original equipment manufacturers to reduce the prices of our products.
 
There is substantial and continuing pressure on original equipment manufacturers to reduce costs, including costs of products we supply. Although original equipment manufacturers have indicated that they will continue to rely on outside suppliers, a number of our major original equipment manufacturer customers manufacture products for their own uses that directly compete with our products. These original equipment manufacturers could elect to manufacture such products for their own uses in place of the products we currently supply. We believe that our ability to develop proprietary new products and to control our costs will allow us to remain competitive. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to improve or maintain our gross margins on product sales to original equipment manufacturers or that the recent trend by original equipment manufacturers towards increased outsourcing will continue.
 
Annual price reductions to original equipment manufacturer customers appear to have become a permanent feature of our business environment. In 2006 and 2005, the combination of price reductions to customers and cost increases for material, labor and overhead, totaled approximately $155 million and $140 million, respectively. To maintain our profit margins, we seek price reductions from our suppliers, improve production processes to increase manufacturing efficiency, update product designs to reduce costs and develop new products the benefits of which support stable or increased prices. Our ability to pass through increased raw material costs to our original equipment manufacturer customers is limited, with cost recovery less than 100% and often on a delayed basis. We cannot assure you that we will be able to reduce costs in an amount equal to annual price reductions and increases in raw material costs.

Table of Contents

 
We are sensitive to the effects of our major customers’ labor relations.
 
All three of our primary North American customers, Ford, DaimlerChrysler and General Motors, have major union contracts with the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America. Because of domestic original equipment manufacturers’ dependence on a single union, we are affected by labor difficulties and work stoppages at original equipment manufacturers’ facilities. Similarly, a majority of our global customers’ operations outside of North America are also represented by various unions. Any extended work stoppage could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operating results.
 
Part of our labor force is unionized.
 
As of December 31, 2006, approximately 23% of our U.S. employees was unionized. Our two most significant domestic collective bargaining agreements are for our Muncie, Indiana plant and our Ithaca, New York plants. The Muncie agreement expires in April 2009 and the Ithaca agreement expires in October 2008. The hourly employees at certain of our international facilities are also unionized. While we believe that our relations with our employees are satisfactory, a prolonged dispute with our employees could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operating results.
 
We are subject to extensive environmental regulations.
 
Our operations are subject to laws governing, among other things, emissions to air, discharges to waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and other materials. We believe that our business, operations and activities have been and are being operated in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental and health and safety laws. However, the operation of automotive parts manufacturing plants entails risks in these areas, and we cannot assure you that we will not incur material costs or liabilities as a result. Furthermore, through various acquisitions over the years, we have acquired a number of manufacturing facilities, and we cannot assure you that we will not incur material costs and liabilities relating to activities that predate our ownership. In addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required in order to comply with evolving environmental and health and safety laws that may be adopted in the future.
 
We believe that the overall impact of compliance with regulations and legislation protecting the environment will not have a material adverse effect on our future financial position or operating results, but we cannot assure you that this will always be the case. Capital expenditures and expenses in 2006 attributable to compliance with environmental laws were not material.
 
We have contingent liabilities related to environmental, product warranties, regulatory matters, litigation and other claims.
 
We and certain of our 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 at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and equivalent state laws. As a result, as of December 31, 2006, we may be liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 35 of these sites.
 
We work with outside experts to determine a range of potential liability for environmental sites. The ranges for each individual site are then aggregated into a loss range for the total accrued liability. Management’s estimate of the loss range for 2006 is between $18.1 million and $29.5 million. We record an accrual at the most probable amount within the range unless one cannot be determined; in which case we record the accrual at the low end of the range. Based on information available to us, we have established an accrual in our financial statements for indicated environmental liabilities, with a balance of $20.0 million at December 31, 2006. We currently expect this amount to be expended over the next three to five years.
 
We believe that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our future financial position or operating results, either because estimates of the maximum potential liability at a


16


Table of Contents

site are not large or because liability will be shared with other potentially responsible parties. However, we cannot assure you of the ultimate outcome.
 
We are also party to, or have an obligation to defend a party to, various legal proceedings, including those described in Note 15 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report. Although we believe that none of these matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or future operating results, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any such matter or proceeding.
 
We provide warranties to our customers for some of our products. Under these warranties, we may be required to bear costs and expenses for the repair or replacement of these products. We cannot assure you that costs and expenses associated with these product warranties will not be material, or that those costs will not exceed any amounts accrued for such warranties in our financial statement.
 
Based upon information available to us, we have established an accrual in our financial statements for product warranties of $60.0 million at December 31, 2006.
 
Our growth strategy may prove unsuccessful.
 
We have a stated goal of increasing revenues and operating revenues at a rate greater than global vehicle production by increasing content per vehicle with innovative new components and through select acquisitions. We may not meet our goal because of any of the following: (a) a significant decrease in the production of sport-utility vehicles and light-trucks, high content vehicles for us; (b) the failure to develop new products which will be purchased by our customers; (c) technology changes rendering our products obsolete; (d) a reversal of the trend of supplying systems (which allows us to increase content per vehicle) instead of components; and (e) the failure to find suitable acquisition targets or the failure to integrate operations of acquired businesses quickly and cost effectively.
 
We are subject to risks related to our international operations.
 
We have manufacturing and technical facilities in many regions and countries, including North America, Europe, China, India, South Korea, Japan, and Brazil and sell our products worldwide. For 2006, approximately 60% of our sales were outside North America. Consequently, our results could be affected by changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, trade restrictions or prohibitions, import or other charges or taxes, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changing economic conditions, and political instability and disputes. See Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report.
 
We may not realize sales represented by awarded business.
 
We base our growth projections, in part, on commitments made by our customers. These commitments generally renew yearly during a program life cycle. If actual production orders from our customers do not approximate such commitments, it could have a material adverse effect on our growth and financial performance.
 
We are impacted by the rising cost of providing pension and other post employment benefits.
 
The automotive industry, like other industries, continues to be impacted by the rising cost of providing pension and other post employment benefits. To partially address this impact, we adjusted certain retiree medical plans effective April 1, 2006 to provide certain participating retirees with continued access to group health coverage while reducing our subsidy of the program. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report.
 
Certain defined benefit pension plans we sponsor are currently underfunded.
 
We sponsor certain defined benefit pension plans worldwide that are underfunded and will require cash payments. Additionally, if the performance of the assets in our pension plans does not meet our expectations, or if


17


Table of Contents

other actuarial assumptions are modified, our required contributions may be higher than we expect. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report.
 
Negative or unexpected tax consequences could adversely affect our results of operations.
 
Adverse changes in the underlying profitability and financial outlook of our operations in several jurisdictions could lead to changes in our valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and other tax accruals that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
 
Additionally, we are subject to tax audits by governmental authorities in the U.S. and numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions. Because the results of tax audits are inherently uncertain, negative or unexpected results from one or more such tax audits could adversely affect our results of operations.
 
We rely on sales to several major customers.
 
Our worldwide sales in 2006 to Ford Motor Company, Volkswagen, DaimlerChrysler and General Motors Corporation constituted approximately 13%, 13%, 11% and 9%, respectively, of our 2006 consolidated sales. These four customers constituted approximately 46% of our 2006 sales. Credit rating agencies rate two of these customers below investment grade. The corresponding percentages of sales to these customers for 2005 were 16%, 13%, 12% and 9%. No other single customer accounted for more that 10% of our consolidated sales in 2006 or 2005.
 
Our 2006 consolidated sales do not include the approximately $676 million of sales made by our unconsolidated joint ventures. If sales from these unconsolidated joint ventures were included in 2006 consolidated sales, our worldwide sales to Toyota Motor Corporation and its affiliates would be approximately 7% of consolidated sales.
 
Economic distress of suppliers could result in disruption of our operations and have a material effect on our business.
 
Some automotive parts suppliers continue to experience commodity cost pressures and the effects of industry overcapacity. These factors have increased pressure on the industry’s supply base, as suppliers cope with higher commodity costs, lower production volumes and other challenges. The Company receives certain of its raw materials from sole suppliers or a limited number of suppliers. The inability of a supplier to fulfill supply requirements of the Company could materially affect future operating results.
 
Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments
 
The Company has received no written comments regarding its periodic or current reports from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that were issued 180 days or more preceding the end of its 2006 fiscal year and that remain unresolved.
 
Item 2.  Properties
 
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had 64 manufacturing, assembly, and technical locations worldwide. In addition to its 15 U.S. manufacturing locations, the Company has 10 locations in Germany, five locations in each of India and Korea, three locations in each of the United Kingdom, France and China, two locations in each of Japan, Mexico, Hungary, and Italy, and one location in each of Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Spain, and Taiwan. The Company also has several sales offices, warehouses and technical centers. The Company’s worldwide headquarters are located in a leased facility in Auburn Hills, Michigan. In 2002, the Company completed construction of the BorgWarner Powertrain Technical Center (the “PTC”) in Auburn Hills, Michigan, which serves as a primary research and development facility and contains many of the administrative personnel for the Engine and Drivetrain segments. There are approximately 500 employees located at the PTC. In general, the Company believes its facilities to be suitable and adequate to meet its current and reasonably anticipated needs. The majority of the locations are operating at normal levels based on capacity.

The Company’s Common Stock is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BWA. As of February 9, 2007, there were 2,651 holders of record of Common Stock.
 
The Company has increased its dividend during each of the last four years. During 2004, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.25 on a pre-split basis. In May 2004, the Company declared a two-for-one stock split, thereby adjusting the quarterly dividend to $0.125. For the first quarter of 2005, the Company announced an increase in the cash dividend from $0.125 per share to $0.14 per share. The Company announced an increase of the cash dividend from $0.14 per share to $0.16 per share for the first quarter of 2006. The Company announced an increase of the cash dividend from $0.16 per share to $0.17 per share for the first quarter of 2007. While the Company currently expects that comparable quarterly cash dividends will continue to be paid in the future, the dividend policy is subject to review and change at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report below.
 
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control processes will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of error or fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls


21


Table of Contents

can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
 
Changes in Internal Control
 
There have been no changes in internal controls over the financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of BorgWarner Inc.:
 
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 of the Company and our report dated February 16, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s changes in its methods of accounting in 2006 for employee stock-based compensation as a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payment, and for defined benefit pension and other post retirement plans as a result of adopting SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.
