    --  Record net sales of $7,115 million, up 26% from 2010.
    --  U.S. GAAP earnings of $4.45 per diluted share. For comparison with other
        periods, 2011 earnings were $4.45 per diluted share, excluding net

    --  Operating income was $798 million, or 11.2% of net sales. Excluding
        non-recurring items, operating income was 11.1% of net sales.

Comment and Outlook: "The fourth quarter was a strong finish to an exceptional year for our company," said Timothy Manganello, Chairman and CEO of BorgWarner. "Our sales were up 16% in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared with fourth quarter 2010. Excluding the impact of currency and sales related to the acquisition of the Traction Systems division of Haldex, which closed in first quarter 2011, our sales were up 12%. Global vehicle production was up 1% during the same period. New business growth drove our fourth quarter results as it did throughout the year. Adoption rates of our leading-edge powertrain technology continued to outpace vehicle production in every major region of the world. The continued focus on execution at our operations resulted in a very strong operating income margin of 12.0% in the fourth quarter, excluding non-recurring items. This is sharply higher than the 10.3% operating income margin posted in the fourth quarter of 2010."

"For the full year, our sales, earnings and operating income margin set all-time records. In 2012, we expect 10% to 12% sales growth compared with 2011, earnings of $5.35 to $5.65 per diluted share and an operating income margin of 11.5% or better. This should continue our record financial pace," said Manganello.

Financial Results: Net sales were $1,774 million in fourth quarter 2011, up 16% from $1,533 million in fourth quarter 2010. Net earnings in the quarter were $122 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, compared with $112 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, in fourth quarter 2010. Fourth quarter 2011 net earnings included non-recurring items of $(0.19) per diluted share. These items are listed in a table below as reconciliations of non-U.S. GAAP measures, which are provided by the company for comparison with other results, and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Excluding these non-recurring items, fourth quarter 2011 earnings per diluted share were up 34% compared with fourth quarter 2010. The impact of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, decreased net sales by approximately $6 million in fourth quarter 2011 compared with fourth quarter 2010. The impact of foreign currencies on net earnings in fourth quarter 2011 compared with fourth quarter 2010 was negligible.

Full year 2011 net sales were $7,115 million, up 26% compared with $5,653 million in 2010. Full year 2011 net earnings were $550 million, or $4.45 per diluted share, compared with $377 million, or $3.07 per diluted share, in 2010. Full year 2011 net earnings included non-recurring items which, when netted, had no impact on reported earnings per diluted share. Full year 2010 net earnings included net non-recurring items of $0.05 per diluted share. These items are listed in a table below as reconciliations of non-U.S. GAAP measures, which are provided by the company for comparison with other results, and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Excluding these net non-recurring items, full year 2011 earnings per diluted share were up 47% compared with 2010. The impact of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, increased net sales by approximately $237 million, and increased net earnings by approximately $0.19 per diluted share, in 2011 compared with 2010.

Investments in capital expenditures, including tooling outlays, totaled $394 million in 2011, compared with $277 million in 2010.

Drivetrain Group Results: Drivetrain segment net sales were $534 million in fourth quarter 2011, up 27% from $420 million in the prior year's quarter as a result of strong traditional transmission component sales in Korea, higher dual clutch transmission module sales in Europe, and the acquisition of the Traction Systems division of Haldex. Excluding the impact of currency and the Traction Systems acquisition, net sales were up approximately 14%. Adjusted EBIT was $47 million in fourth quarter 2011, up 47% from $32 million in fourth quarter 2010.

Recent Highlights:

    --  In November, the company reported an expected backlog of $2.5 billion of
        net new business for the period 2012 through 2014, a 9% increase over
        the previous three-year backlog of net new business.
    --  BorgWarner has elected to settle all conversions of its 3.50%
        Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 by delivering solely shares of the
        company's common stock to converting Noteholders. If all of the
        outstanding Notes were converted at the initial conversion rate, the
        company would deliver approximately 11.4 million shares of common stock,
        all of which have been obtained through share repurchases and are held
        in Treasury.
    --  BorgWarner BERU Systems' new double platinum spark plugs feature an
        innovative high-voltage connection specifically designed for the next
        generation of compact plug top ignition coils used in Audi's 1.8- and
        2.0-liter TFSI engines. Audi's new four-cylinder engines will power the
        recently launched Audi A4 and A4 Avant series, and will replace current
        engines in the Audi A5, A5 Sportback and A5 Cabrio. The engine is
        expected to power more vehicle models for the VW group in the future.
    --  BorgWarner's award-winning regulated two-stage (R2S®) turbocharging
        technology boosts performance while helping improve fuel efficiency and
        lower emissions for the first four-cylinder engine in the history of the
        Mercedes S-Class. The 2.2-liter diesel S 250 CDI Blue Efficiency is the
        first car in the luxury segment to consume less than 6 liters of fuel
        per 100 kilometers.
    --  BorgWarner's Engine Group supplies systems and components for five
        engines named in Ward's "10 Best Engines 2012," including turbochargers,
        engine timing systems and variable cam timing systems with Cam Torque
        Actuated technology.
    --  BorgWarner supplies its B-series turbochargers for the new Mercedes-Benz
        12.8-liter six-cylinder in-line Blue Efficiency Power engine, the first
        in its class to meet upcoming Euro VI emissions standards.
