Factors
1)
-Engine segment sales in FY 2012 decreased by 5 percent due to weakness in industrial demand, especially in international construction markets, and lower volumes in the Brazilian medium-duty truck market, which were partially offset by growth in the North American on-highway markets in the first half of the year, led by the heavy-duty business.
2)
-Components segment sales in FY 2012, excluding acquisitions, decreased by 2 percent due to 126 million dollars of sales in 2011 related to its exhaust business' assets sold in 2011 and lower demand in the turbo technologies, filtration and fuel systems businesses, which were partially offset by higher demand in the emission solutions business, primarily in North America and Brazil.
