Factors
1) Engine Segment
-The net sales and segment EBIT increases were primarily driven by strong global growth in all major product groups and continued cost management.

2 ) Drivetrain Segment
-The net sales increase was a result of strong four-wheel drive system and traditional transmission component sales in South Korea and higher dual clutch transmission module sales in Europe.

-The segment EBIT margin was 7.7% in the year ended December 31, 2011, which was decreased 0.8% from 8.5% in the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to operational inefficiencies in its European operations and Traction Systems acquisition (from Haldex AB) related expenses.

Acquisitions

-The Company has completed its acquisition of the Traction Systems division of Haldex Group. From production facilities in Sweden, Mexico and Hungary, Haldex Traction Systems supplies all-wheel drive systems for passenger car and crossover vehicles.

Outlook

-The Company announced 2.5 billion USD of expected net new powertrain business for 2012 through 2014, a 9% increase over its previous three-year net new business. Of the total new business, approximately 80% is anticipated from engine-related products such as turbochargers, ignition systems, emissions products, engine timing systems, variable cam timing modules and thermal systems. The remaining approximate 20% is expected from drivetrain-related products including the company's DualTronic transmission technology and its traditional automatic transmission and all-wheel drive technologies. (From a press release on November 8, 2011)

-The Company expects global production volumes to be higher in 2012 compared with 2011. In Europe, the Company expects production volumes to decline in 2012 compared with 2011. However, the Company expects that higher adoption rates of the Company's products around the world will result in sales growth for the Company above global production growth in 2012.

-The Company maintains a positive long-term outlook for its global business and is committed to new product development and strategic capital investments to enhance its product leadership strategy. The trends that are driving the Company's long-term growth are expected to continue, including the growth of direct injection diesel and gasoline engines worldwide, the increased adoption of automated transmissions in Europe and Asia-Pacific, and the move to variable cam and chain engine timing systems in both Europe and Asia-Pacific.
