Financial overview

In million USD	Sept. 2006	Sept. 2005	Rate of change (%)	Remarks
Overall
Sales	9,195	8,873	+3.6%	The increase in sales was attributable to stronger commercial vehicle truck and trailer volumes in the CVS business segment and higher pass-through sales in the LVS business segment. These increases were partially offset by foreign currency translation, primarily due to the stronger euro in relation to the U.S. dollar, which reduced sales by $72 million, and lower volumes in its North American LVS business. Divestitures of certain LVS businesses in previous periods and the sales of certain assets of CVS's off-highway brake business reduced sales in fiscal year 2006 by $81 million.
Operating income	(119)	184	-	Operating loss for FY2006 was $119 million, compared to operating income of $184 million in fiscal 2005. Operating loss was significantly impacted by a $310 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded in its light truck vehicle emissions technologies business in the fourth quarter of FY2006. A labor disruption and work stoppage at its commercial vehicle brakes operation in Tilbury, Ontario unfavorably impacted operating income by $45 million. Operating loss for FY2006 also includes a $23 million gain on the sale of certain assets of CVS' off-highway brakes business.

By division
Light Vehicle Systems (LVS)
Sales	4,905	4,819	+1.8%	Light Vehicle Systems (LVS) sales increased to $4,905 in FY2006, up $86 million, or 2 percent, from $4,819 million in FY2005. The effect of foreign currency translation decreased sales by $40 million. Pass-through sales were approximately $1,600 million in FY2006 compared to approximately $1,300 million in FY2005. The higher pass-through sales were partially offset by lower value added sales, lower selling prices to its customers and the loss of sales associated with the divestitures.
Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS)
Sales	4,290	4,054	+5.8%	Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS) sales were $4,290 million, up $236 million, or 6 percent, from FY2005. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to strong commercial vehicle truck and trailer volumes. Compared to FY2005, production volume in North America for commercial vehicle heavy-duty trucks (class 8) increased 8 percent and medium duty trucks increased 4 percent. Western Europe heavy and medium duty truck volumes increased 4 percent. These increases were partially offset by the loss of sales associated with the divestitures of certain assets of the off-highway brakes business of approximately $57 million and foreign currency translation which reduced sales by $32 million.
