BORGWARNER INC Segments Disclosure
REPORTABLE SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION
_______________
The Company discloses segment information under four reportable segments, consistent with the operating segments that are evaluated by management, including the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The reportable segments are further described below. These segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents a specific grouping of related automotive components and systems.
•Turbos & Thermal Technologies. This segment’s products include turbochargers, eBoosters, eTurbos, emissions systems, thermal systems, gasoline ignition technology, smart remote actuators, powertrain sensors, cabin heaters, battery heaters and battery cooling systems.
•Drivetrain & Morse Systems. This segment’s products include hydraulic controls, friction and mechanical clutch products for automatic transmissions and torque-management products, such as transfer cases for 4-wheel drive (“4WD”) and all-wheel drive (“AWD”) applications, electronic limited slip differentials (“eLSD”), and electric torque vectoring and axle disconnect systems. Additionally, the Drivetrain & Morse Systems products include chain systems and variable camshaft phasing products.
•PowerDrive Systems. This segment’s products include power electronics such as inverters, onboard chargers, DC/DC converters and combination boxes, rotating electric machines, fully integrated drive modules (consisting of inverter, eMotor and gear reducer) and electronic controls.
•Battery & Charging Systems. This segment’s products include high-performance lithium-ion battery systems for electrified bus-, truck- and off-highway applications.
In February 2025, the Company made the decision to exit its charging business within the Battery & Charging Systems reportable segment. This exit did not result in a change to the Company’s reportable segments. Refer to Note 2, “Acquisitions and Dispositions,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Segment Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is the measure of segment income or loss used by the Company. Segment Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is comprised of operating income for the Company’s reportable segments adjusted to exclude restructuring, merger, acquisition and divestiture expense, intangible asset amortization expense, impairment charges and other items not reflective of ongoing operating income or loss. The Company believes Segment Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of its reportable segments.
The Company’s CODM uses Segment Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and the expenses disclosed below to assess the performance of its reportable segments. The CODM uses this information to assist with decisions about future growth, capital investments and cost reduction initiatives by reviewing trends in the business, monitoring variances to historical results and previously forecasted information and performing other analytical comparisons.
The following tables show net sales, segment expenses, Segment Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and other segment information for the Company’s reportable segments. The segment expenses do not include non-comparable items that are excluded in the calculation of Segment Adjusted Operating Income (Loss):

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
