Sales Results
(1) Consolidated net sales increased by $588 million, or 9.3%, to $6,914 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Approximately 60% of the Company’s 2007 sales originated outside the United States; therefore the weakening of the U.S. dollar, primarily against the euro, resulted in increased reported sales from non-U.S. operations of $275 million, representing 4.3% of sales growth. The remainder of the increase of $313 million, representing 5% annual growth, is due to a combination of gains in global market share across all segments and growth in global market demand, as follows:
-Increased share with global OEMs of $133 million due to new program launches.
-Increased market demand for existing applications and programs of $93 million due to increased global vehicle production. The impact of decreased North American production in both light vehicle and heavy duty markets was more than offset by increased production of light and commercial vehicles in EMEA and Asia.
-Increased share within the global independent aftermarket of $100 million due to increased penetration with new product offerings to existing customers and the broadening of the customer base.
-A decrease in the underlying global market demand for aftermarket parts of $16 million
(2)The impact of the May 2006 acquisition of a controlling interest in Federal-Mogul Goetze (“FMG”) of $49 million more than offsets the unfavorable impact of price reductions, net of commodity price escalators, of $42 million
