DANA Inc Segments Disclosure
Note 20. Segments, Geographical Area and Major Customer Information
We are a global provider of high-technology products to virtually every major vehicle manufacturer in the world. Our technologies include drive systems (axles, driveshafts and transmissions); electrodynamic technologies (motors, inverters, software and control systems, battery-management systems, and fuel cell plates); sealing solutions (gaskets, seals, cam covers, and oil pan modules); thermal-management technologies (transmission and engine oil cooling, battery and electronics cooling, charge air cooling, and thermal-acoustical protective shielding); and digital solutions (active and passive system controls and descriptive and predictive analytics). Effective January 1, 2025, Dana’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) realigned Dana’s operating segments, reflecting Dana’s commitment to streamlining the business, enhancing our go-to market approach, and serving our customers more efficiently. Our former Power Technologies operating segment has been split, integrating the OEM-facing business into our Light Vehicle operating segment and integrating the aftermarket business into our Commercial Vehicle operating segment. In addition, in June 2025 we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Off-Highway business to Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. See Note 2 for additional information. Certain operations that fall outside of the proposed sale perimeter, including certain Dana TM4 joint venture operations and our European hydraulics business, have been integrated into our Commercial Vehicle and Light Vehicle operating segments, respectively. We now serve our global light vehicle and medium/heavy vehicle markets through two operating segments – Light Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle. These operating segments have global responsibility and accountability for business commercial activities and financial performance. Amounts presented for prior periods have been recast to align with Dana’s current two operating segments. Dana’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is its CODM.
Dana's CODM evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on external sales and segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA is a primary driver of cash flows from operations and a measure of our ability to maintain and continue to invest in our operations and provide shareholder returns. Our segments are charged for corporate and other shared administrative costs. Certain corporate and other administrative costs that were historically charged to our Off-Highway business, that are not permitted to be reflected as part of discontinued operations, have been recast and are included within the "corporate expense and other items, net" line of the reconciliation of segment EBITDA to loss from continuing operations before income taxes. Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

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.
