The year 2011 was a very good year for BorgWarner. 

Global automotive production grew a modest 3% in 2011 

compared with 2010. During that same period, BorgWarner 

sales grew 26%, outperforming the industry by a wide 

margin. Our strategy to focus on improving fuel economy, 

emissions and performance is clearly a winning approach.

Timothy M. Manganello
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

The industry began the year with cautious optimism, but struggled to gain momentum. 

In March, a natural disaster devastated parts of Japan and ground industrial activity to 

a halt. At the time, it was known that vehicle production would be lost, the impact of 

which was measurable, and, therefore, somewhat understood. However, the impact of 

a crippled Japanese supply base, which supplies key components to the industry around 

the world, was not well understood. The uncertainty caused worst case scenarios to be 

contemplated and action plans to be developed. Despite our best efforts to contribute to 

the recovery, most of us outside of Japan were relegated to watching and waiting. During 

that period, I was inspired by the resilience of the Japanese people. Their resolve and 

the speed of their recovery was remarkable. In the end, the ingenuity of the industry 

prevailed. Alternative sources were found and product plans were adjusted to accommo-

date for scarce parts. The impact to BorgWarner was moderate. 

China took measures to cool down their fast-growing economy in 2011. In addition to 

measures taken on a broad scale, the automotive sector was directly impacted by 

reduced government-sponsored incentives for vehicle sales in addition to limiting vehicle 

registration in some of the major cities. Vehicle production slowed down as a result, but 

the adoption of advanced powertrain technology did not. China was our fastest growing 

market in 2011 and I expect this to continue going forward for many years to come.

During the second half of 2011, the industry was focused on Europe and the potential 

impact of its sovereign debt crisis. Speculation was rampant and downside risk weighed 

on the minds of investors. Europe is an important market for our company. At more than 

50% of our total revenue, it is our largest market, and leads the world in advanced 

powertrain development. Clearly, developments in the European economy and its 

automotive industry are meaningful to us. However, despite the heightened concerns, 

as I write this letter, the European automotive industry continues to grow and, more 

importantly, continues to adopt advanced powertrain technology at a rapid pace, driving 

above-market growth for BorgWarner.

Accelerating Growth 

Total Shareholder Return

 In the fall, we announced our backlog of 

$2.5 billion of net new business over the 

next three years (2012-2014), another 

record for our company. This backlog 

encompasses some of the most promising 

technologies and geographies in the auto 

sector and is representative of how Borg-

Warner is leading the way in important 

global powertrain developments. From a 

product perspective, turbochargers, en-

gine timing systems, variable cam timing, 

and dual-clutch transmission modules are 

BorgWarner’s largest growth drivers. We 

continue to generate important new busi-

ness in each of these product families.

Turbochargers for gasoline engines rep-

resent a significant share of the turbo-

charger backlog, which reflects the grow-

ing global trend toward downsized tur-

bocharged gasoline engines to address 

fuel efficiency and emissions reductions.

The sales information presented above excludes the sales by the Company’s unconsolidated
joint ventures (See sub-heading “Joint Ventures”). Such unconsolidated sales totaled approximately
$817 million, $779 million and $599 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.

Engine

The Engine Group develops and manufactures products to manage engines for fuel efficiency,
reduced emissions and enhanced performance. Concern about fuel prices and availability, as well as
the need to lower CO2 emissions are driving demand for the Company’s products in smaller, more
efficient gasoline and diesel engines and alternative powertrains. Engine Group products currently fall
into the following major categories: turbochargers, emissions systems, timing devices and chain
products, thermal systems, diesel cold start, gasoline ignition technology and cabin heaters.

The Engine Group provides turbochargers for light, commercial and off-highway applications for
diesel and gasoline engine manufacturers in the Americas, Europe and Asia. The Engine Group has
greatly benefited from the growth in turbocharger demand in Europe. This growth is linked to
increasing demand for diesel engines in light vehicles, which typically use turbochargers, and for

4

turbocharged gasoline engines. Benefits of turbochargers in light, commercial and off-highway
applications include increased power for a given engine size, improved fuel economy and reduced
emissions.

Sales of turbochargers for light-vehicles represented approximately 26% of total net sales for the
years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 27% of total net sales for the year
ended December 31, 2009. The Company currently supplies light-vehicle turbochargers to many
OEMs including Volkswagen, Renault, PSA, Daimler, Hyundai, Fiat, BMW, Ford and General
Motors. The Company also supplies commercial vehicle turbochargers to Daimler, Navistar, Deutz
and MAN and off-highway turbochargers to Caterpillar and John Deere.

The Company’s newest turbocharger technologies are its regulated two-stage turbocharging
system, known as R2S®, variable turbine geometry (“VTG”) turbochargers and turbochargers for
gasoline direct injected engines, all of which may be found in numerous applications around the
world. For example, the Company supplies its award winning R2S® turbocharger technology to
Volkswagen’s 2.0 liter four-cylinder common-rail diesel engine featured in the Transporter T5 and
Amarok pickup. Also, the Company supplies VTG turbochargers to Renault’s 1.6 liter R9M diesel
engine featured in the Mégane Scénic and Ford selected BorgWarner’s leading gasoline turbocharger
technology for their new 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engines, the latter launching in
the U.S. in the 2012 Explorer and 2012 Edge models, and in China in the Ford Mondeo.

The Engine Group also designs and manufactures products to control emissions and improve
fuel economy. These products include electric air pumps, turbo actuators using integrated electronics
to precisely control turbocharger speed and pressure ratio and exhaust gas recirculation (“EGR”)
coolers, tubes and valves for gasoline and diesel applications. In 2010, the Company acquired Dytech
Ensa S.L., a leading producer of EGR coolers, EGR tubes and integrated EGR modules including
valves for light, commercial and off-highway applications.

The Engine Group’s timing devices and chain products include timing chain and timing drive
systems, variable cam timing (“VCT”) systems, crankshaft and camshaft sprockets, tensioners, guides
and snubbers, HY-VO® front-wheel drive (“FWD”) transmission chain and four-wheel drive (“4WD”)
chain and MORSE GEMINI® chain systems for light vehicles.

The Company is a leading manufacturer of timing chain systems to OEMs around the world.
BorgWarner timing chain systems are featured on Ford’s family of engines, including the Duratec,
Modular, and in-line four-cylinder engines, Chrysler’s 3.6 liter Pentastar engine, Volkswagen’s EA888
family, Hyundai’s Gamma, Nu and Theta families and numerous other applications around the world.

The Engine Group’s newest chain product technology is its VCT with mid position lock, which
allows a greater range of camshaft positioning thereby enabling greater control over airflow and the
opportunity to improve fuel economy, function and efficiency compared with conventional VCT
systems. VCT with mid-position lock made its debut on Subaru’s Boxer® 2.0 liter engine. BorgWarner
is currently working with a number of other OEMs interested in implementing this technology.

The Company is a leading manufacturer of chain for FWD transmissions and 4WD transfer
cases. The Company’s HY-VO® chain is used to transfer power from the engine to the drivetrain. The
chain in a transfer case distributes power between a vehicle’s front and rear output shafts which, in
turn, provide torque to the front and rear wheels. The Company’s MORSE GEMINI® transmission
chain system emits significantly less chain pitch frequency noise than conventional transmission chain
systems.

The Company is a leading global provider of engine thermal solutions for truck, agricultural and
off-highway applications. The Engine Group designs, manufactures and markets viscous fan drives

5

that control fans to sense and respond to multiple cooling requirements. The Engine Group also
manufactures and markets polymer fans for engine cooling systems. The Company’s thermal
products provide improved vehicle fuel economy and reduced engine emissions while minimizing
loss. The Company has been awarded the “standard position” (the
parasitic horsepower
OEM-designated preferred supplier of component systems available to the end-customer) at several
major global heavy truck producers.

The Company is a leading global automotive supplier of diesel cold start technology (glow plugs
and instant starting systems), including its Pressure Sensor Glow Plug which monitors and enhances
the combustion process of a diesel engine, minimizing CO2 and NOx emissions. The Company also
designs and manufactures gasoline ignition technology (spark plugs and ignition coils) and electronic
control units and sensor technology (diesel cabin heaters and selected sensors).

In 2009, the Company announced the purchase of advanced gasoline ignition technology and
related intellectual property from Florida-based Etatech, Inc. The high-frequency ignition technology
enables high-performing, lean burning engines to significantly improve fuel economy and reduce
emissions compared with conventional combustion technologies.

In anticipation of market growth expected for its electric cabin heaters, the Company completed
the acquisition of BERU-Eichenauer GmbH by acquiring the shares of its former joint venture partner,
Eichenauer Heizelemente GmbH & Co. KG. The former 50/50 joint venture was formed in 2000 to
develop and manufacture electric cabin heaters. The acquisition formally took effect on May 1, 2010.

Drivetrain

The Drivetrain Group leverages the Company’s expertise in clutching and control systems to
enable efficient transmission of engine torque through the vehicle drivetrain and management of
torque distribution to the driven wheels. The Company’s technology can improve fuel efficiency and
help reduce emissions in all types of powertrains. The Drivetrain Group’s major products are
transmission components and systems, and all-wheel drive (“AWD”) torque management systems.

The Drivetrain Group designs and manufactures automatic transmission components and
modules and is a supplier to virtually every major automatic transmission manufacturer in the world
for conventional automatic, new dual-clutch transmissions (“DCT”) and automated manual
transmissions. In conventional automatic transmissions, there has been a global market trend from
four and five speeds to six, seven and eight speed transmissions. Transmissions with more speeds
improve fuel economy and vehicle performance and offer growth opportunities.

Friction and mechanical products include dual clutch modules, friction clutch modules, friction
plates, transmission bands, torque converter clutches, one-way clutches and torsional vibration
dampers. Controls products feature electro-hydraulic solenoids for standard and high pressure
hydraulic systems, transmission solenoid modules and dual clutch control modules. The Company’s
is a leading
50%-owned joint venture in Japan, NSK-Warner Kabushiki Kaisha (“NSK-Warner”),
producer of friction plates and one-way clutches in Japan.

The Company has led the globalization of today’s DCT technology for over 10 years. Following
the development of its DCT technology in the 1990s, the Company established its industry-leading
position in Europe in 2003 with the production launch of its award-winning DualTronic® innovations
with VW/Audi.
In 2007, the Company launched its first dual-clutch technology application in a
Japanese transmission with Nissan.

The Company has announced DCT programs with customers that include VW/Audi, SAIC and
Nissan, in addition to Getrag DCT programs with BMW, Ford and other global automakers. The

6

Company is working on several other DCT programs with OEMs around the world. BorgWarner
DualTronic technology enables a conventional, manual gearbox to function as a fully automatic
transmission by eliminating the interruption in power flow that occurs when shifting a single clutch
manual transmission. The result is a smooth shifting automatic transmission with the fuel efficiency
and great driving experience of a manual gearbox.

In 2008,

the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with China Automobile
Development United Investment Company, a company owned by 12 leading Chinese automakers, to
produce various dual clutch transmission modules. The joint venture’s operations are located in
Dalian, China and production is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2012. The Company owns 66%
of the joint venture.

The Drivetrain Group’s torque management products include rear-wheel drive (“RWD”)/AWD
transfer case systems, FWD/AWD electromagnetic coupling systems and advanced products. The
Company’s focus is on electronically controlled (active) torque management devices and systems for
their vehicle dynamics, fuel economy and stability benefits.

Transfer cases are installed primarily on light-trucks, SUVs, RWD based cross-over utility vehicles
(“CUVs”) and passenger cars. A transfer case attaches to the transmission and distributes torque to
the front and rear axles improving vehicle traction and stability in dynamic driving conditions.

The Company is involved in the AWD market for FWD based vehicles with electromagnetic
couplings that use electronically controlled clutches to distribute power to the rear wheels instantly as
traction is required. The NexTrac® AWD device is our latest product innovation that produces
outstanding stability and traction while promoting better fuel economy. The NexTrac AWD device
launched in 2008 on the Hyundai Santa Fe, Tucson and KIA Sportage.

On January 31, 2011, the Company acquired the Traction Systems division of Haldex Group, a
innovative AWD products for the global vehicle industry headquartered in
leading provider of
Stockholm, Sweden. This acquisition is expected to accelerate BorgWarner’s growth in the global
AWD market as it continues to shift toward FWD based vehicles. The acquisition will add industry
leading AWD technologies for FWD based vehicles, with a strong European customer base, to
BorgWarner’s existing portfolio of
front and rear-wheel drive based products. This enables
BorgWarner to provide global customers a broader range of AWD solutions to meet their vehicle
needs.

With the trend toward vehicle electrification gaining momentum, the Company is also applying its
years of expertise to deliver robust and highly efficient single and multiple speed electric gear
reduction solutions for hybrids and electric vehicles. Currently, we supply our eGearDrive® single-
speed gearbox to the Ford Transit Connect Electric. We are actively engaged with traditional and
non-traditional OEMs on a number of other transmission programs for plug-in hybrid and electric
vehicles.

Joint Ventures

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had 10 joint ventures in which it had a less-than-100%
ownership interest. Results from the seven joint ventures in which the Company is the majority owner
are consolidated as part of the Company’s results. Results from the three joint ventures in which the
Company’s effective ownership interest is 50% or less, were reported by the Company using the
equity method of accounting.

No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net sales in any of

the years presented.

The Company’s automotive products are generally sold directly to OEMs, substantially pursuant
to negotiated annual contracts, long-term supply agreements or terms and conditions as may be
modified by the parties. Deliveries are subject to periodic authorizations based upon the production
schedules of the OEMs. The Company typically ships its products directly from its plants to the
OEMs.

Sales and Marketing

Each of the Company’s business units within its two reporting segments has its own sales
function. Account executives for each of our business units are assigned to serve specific OEM
customers for one or more of a business unit’s products. Our account executives spend the majority
of their time in direct contact with OEM purchasing and engineering employees and are responsible
for servicing existing business and for identifying and obtaining new business. Because of their close
relationship with OEMs, account executives are able to identify and meet customers’ needs based
upon their knowledge of our products design and manufacturing capabilities. Upon securing a new
order, account executives participate in product launch team activities and serve as a key interface
with the customers.

In addition, the sales and marketing employees of our Engine and Drivetrain reporting segments
the business units. The
the Company’s wet-clutch and control-system technology for a

Seasonality

Our operations are directly related to the automotive industry. Consequently, we may experience
seasonal fluctuations to the extent automotive vehicle production slows, such as in the summer
months when many customer plants typically close for model year changeovers or vacations.
Historically, model changeovers or vacations have generally resulted in lower sales volume in the third
quarter.

Research and Development

The Company conducts advanced Engine and Drivetrain research at the reporting segment level.
This advanced engineering function looks to leverage know-how and expertise across product lines to
create new Engine and Drivetrain systems and modules that can be commercialized. A venture capital
fund that was created by the Company as seed money for new innovation and collaboration across
businesses is managed by this function.

In addition, each of the Company’s business units within its two reporting segments has its own
research and development (“R&D”) organization, including engineers and technicians, engaged in
R&D activities at facilities worldwide. The Company also operates testing facilities such as prototype,
measurement and calibration, life cycle testing and dynamometer laboratories.

By working closely with the OEMs and anticipating their future product needs, the Company’s
R&D personnel conceive, design, develop and manufacture new proprietary automotive components
and systems. R&D personnel also work to improve current products and production processes. The
Company believes its commitment to R&D will allow it to obtain new orders from its OEM customers.

The Company’s net R&D expenditures are included in selling, general and administrative
expenses of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Customer reimbursements are netted
against gross R&D expenditures as they are considered a recovery of cost. Customer reimbursements
for prototypes are recorded net of prototype costs based on customer contracts, typically either when
the prototype is shipped or when it is accepted by the customer. Customer reimbursements for
engineering services are recorded when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with the
contract and accepted by the customer. Financial risks and rewards transfer upon shipment,
acceptance of a prototype component by the customer or upon completion of the performance
obligation as stated in the respective customer agreement.

customers at the Company’s various R&D locations. No such contract exceeded 5% of net R&D
expenditures in any of the years presented.

Patents and Licenses

The Company has more than 4,000 active domestic and foreign patents and patent applications
pending or under preparation, and receives royalties from licensing patent rights to others. While it
considers its patents on the whole to be important, the Company does not consider any single patent,

10

any group of related patents or any single license essential to its operations in the aggregate or to the
operations of any of the Company’s business groups individually. The expiration of the patents
individually and in the aggregate is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial
position or future operating results. The Company owns numerous trademarks, some of which are
valuable, but none of which are essential to its business in the aggregate.

The Company owns the “BorgWarner” and “Borg-Warner Automotive” trade names and

housemarks, and variations thereof, which are material to the Company’s business.

Competition

The Company’s reporting segments compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers
and distributors that produce and sell similar products. Many of these competitors are larger and have
greater resources than the Company. Technological innovation, application engineering development,
quality, price, delivery and program launch support are the primary elements of competition.

In addition, a number of the Company’s major OEM customers manufacture, for their own use
and for others, products that compete with the Company’s products. Other current OEM customers
could elect to manufacture products to meet their own requirements or to compete with the
Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s business will not be adversely affected by
increased competition in the markets in which it operates.

11

For many of its products, the Company’s competitors include suppliers in parts of the world that
enjoy economic advantages such as lower labor costs, lower health care costs, lower tax rates and, in
some cases, export subsidies and/or raw materials subsidies. Also, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Workforce

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had a salaried and hourly workforce of approximately
19,250 (as compared with approximately 17,500 at December 31, 2010), of which approximately
5,300 were in the U.S. Approximately 22% of the Company’s U.S. workforce is unionized. The
workforces at certain international facilities are also unionized. The Company believes the present
relations with our workforce to be satisfactory.

Our only domestic collective bargaining agreement

is for our

Ithaca and Cortland, New

York facilities. This agreement expires in September 2012.

Raw Materials

The Company uses a variety of raw materials in the production of its automotive products
including steel, aluminum, copper, nickel, plastic resins and certain alloy elements. Manufacturing
operations for each of the Company’s operating segments are dependent upon natural gas, fuel oil
and electricity.

Commodity prices rose in 2011 due to expanding global demand and cautious capacity recovery
which constrained supply. The Company uses a variety of tactics in order to limit the impact of supply
shortages and inflationary pressures. The Company’s global procurement organization works to
accelerate cost reductions, purchases from lower cost regions, supplier rationalization, risk mitigation
efforts and collaborative buying activities. In addition, the Company uses long-term contracts, cost
sharing arrangements, design changes, customer buy programs and limited financial instruments to
help control costs. The Company intends to use similar measures in 2012 and beyond. Refer to Note
10, “Financial Instruments,” of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for
information related to the Company’s hedging activities.

For 2012, the Company believes that its supplies of raw materials are adequate and available

from multiple sources to support its manufacturing requirements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K
should be considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also
may impact our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business including its
financial performance,
financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be materially
adversely affected.

Risks related to our industry

Conditions in the automotive industry may adversely affect our business.

Our financial performance depends on conditions in the global automotive industry. Automotive
and truck production and sales are cyclical and sensitive to general economic conditions and other
factors including interest rates, consumer credit, and consumer spending and preferences. Economic
declines that result in significant reduction in automotive or truck production would have a material
adverse affect on our sales to OEMs.

We face strong competition.

We compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors that produce and
sell products similar to ours. Price, quality, delivery, technological innovation, application engineering
development and program launch support are the primary elements of competition. Our competitors
include vertically integrated units of our major OEM customers, as well as a large number of
independent domestic and international suppliers. We are not as large as a number of these
companies and do not have as many financial or other resources. Although OEMs have indicated that
they will continue to rely on outside suppliers, a number of our major OEM customers manufacture
products for their own uses that directly compete with our products. These OEMs could elect to
manufacture such products for their own uses in place of the products we currently supply. The
competitive environment has changed dramatically over the past few years as our traditional U.S.
faced with intense international competition, have expanded their worldwide
OEM customers,
sourcing of components. As a result, we have experienced competition from suppliers in other parts
of the world that enjoy economic advantages, such as lower labor costs, lower health care costs,
lower tax rates and, in some cases, export or raw materials subsidies. Increased competition could
adversely affect our business.

Risks related to our business

We are under substantial pressure from OEMs to reduce the prices of our products.

There is substantial and continuing pressure on OEMs to reduce costs,

including costs of
products we supply. Annual price reductions to OEM customers appear to have become a permanent
feature of our business environment. To maintain our profit margins, we seek price reductions from
our suppliers, improve production processes to increase manufacturing efficiency, update product
designs to reduce costs and develop new products, the benefits of which support stable or increased
prices. Our ability to pass through increased raw material costs to our OEM customers is limited, with
cost recovery often less than 100% and often on a delayed basis. Inability to reduce costs in an
amount equal to annual price reductions, increases in raw material costs, and increases in employee
wages and benefits could have an adverse effect on our business.

We continue to face highly volatile costs of commodities used in the production of our
products.

The Company uses a variety of commodities (including steel, nickel, copper, aluminum, plastic
resins, other raw materials and energy) and materials purchased in various forms such as castings,

15

powder metal, forgings, stampings and bar stock. Increasing commodity costs will have an impact on
our results. We have sought to alleviate the impact of increasing costs by including a material pass-
through provision in our customer contracts wherever possible and by selectively hedging certain
commodity exposures. Customers frequently challenge these contractual provisions and rarely pay
the full cost of any materials increases. The discontinuation of ability to pass-through or hedge
increasing commodity costs would adversely affect our business.

From time to time, commodity prices may also fall rapidly. When this happens, suppliers may
withdraw capacity from the market until prices improve which may cause periodic supply
interruptions. The same may be true of our transportation carriers and energy providers.

We use important intellectual property in our business.
If we are unable to protect our
intellectual property or if a third party makes assertions against us or our customers relating to
intellectual property rights, our business could be adversely affected.

We own important intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade
secrets, and are involved in numerous licensing arrangements. Our intellectual property plays an
important role in maintaining our competitive position in a number of the markets that we serve. Our
competitors may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our proprietary technologies or
design around the patents we own or license. Further, as we expand our operations in jurisdictions
where the protection of intellectual property rights is less robust, the risk of others duplicating our
proprietary technologies increases, despite efforts we undertake to protect them. Developments or
assertions by or against us relating to intellectual property rights, and any inability to protect these
rights, could materially adversely impact our business and our competitive position.

We are subject to business continuity risks associated with increasing centralization of our
information technology systems.

To improve efficiency and reduce costs, we have regionally centralized the information systems
that support our business processes such as invoicing, payroll and general management operations.
If the centralized systems are disrupted or disabled, key business processes could be interrupted,
which could adversely affect our business.

Our business success depends on attracting and retaining qualified personnel.

Our ability to sustain and grow our business requires us to hire, retain and develop a highly
skilled and diverse management team and workforce worldwide. Any unplanned turnover or inability
to attract and retain key employees in numbers sufficient for our needs could adversely affect our
business.

Part of our workforce is unionized which could subject us to work stoppages.

As of December 31, 2011, approximately 22% of our U.S. workforce was unionized. Our only
domestic collective bargaining agreement is for our Ithaca and Cortland, New York facilities. This
agreement expires in September 2012. The workforce at certain of our international facilities is also
unionized. A prolonged dispute with our employees could have an adverse effect on our business.

We are impacted by the rising cost of providing retirement benefits and certain retirement
benefit plans we sponsor are currently unfunded or underfunded.

We sponsor certain retirement benefit plans worldwide that are unfunded or underfunded and will
require cash payments. If the performance of the assets in our funded pension plans do not meet our
expectations,
if medical costs continue to increase or actuarial assumptions are modified, our
required cash payments may be higher than we expect.

16

We are subject to extensive environmental regulations.

Our operations are subject to laws governing, among other things, emissions to air, discharges to
waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and
other materials. The operation of automotive parts manufacturing plants entails risks in these areas,
and we cannot assure you that we will not incur material costs or liabilities as a result. Through
various acquisitions over the years, we have acquired a number of manufacturing facilities, and we
cannot assure you that we will not incur material costs and liabilities relating to activities that predate
our ownership. In addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required in order to comply
with evolving environmental, health and safety laws that may be adopted in the future. Costs
associated with failure to comply with environmental regulations could have an adverse effect on our
business.

We have contingent liabilities related to environmental, product warranties, regulatory matters,
litigation and other claims.

We and certain of our current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries
and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain
state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties at various hazardous
waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act and equivalent state laws.

We provide product warranties to our customers for some of our products. Under these product
warranties, we may be required to bear costs and expenses for the repair or replacement of these
products. We cannot assure you that costs and expenses associated with these product warranties
will not be material, or that those costs will not exceed any amounts accrued for such product
warranties in our financial statements.

We are currently, and may in the future become, subject to legal proceedings and commercial or
contractual disputes. These claims typically arise in the normal course of business and may include,
but not be limited to, commercial or contractual disputes with our suppliers, intellectual property
matters, personal injury, environmental and employment claims. There is a possibility that such claims
may have an adverse impact on our business that is greater than we anticipate.

Negative or unexpected tax consequences could adversely affect our business.

Adverse changes in the underlying profitability and financial outlook of our operations in several
jurisdictions could lead to changes in our valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and other
tax accruals that could adversely affect our financial performance.

Additionally, we are subject to tax audits by governmental authorities in the U.S. and numerous
non-U.S. jurisdictions, which are inherently uncertain. Negative or unexpected results from one or
more such tax audits or changes to tax laws governing the jurisdictions in which we operate could
adversely affect our business.

Our growth strategy may prove unsuccessful.

We have a stated goal of increasing revenues and operating income at a rate greater than global
vehicle production by increasing content per vehicle with innovative new components and through
select acquisitions. We may not meet our goal because of any of the following: (a) the failure to
develop new products which will be purchased by our customers; (b) technology changes rendering
our products obsolete; (c) a reversal of the trend of supplying systems (which allows us to increase
content per vehicle) instead of components; and (d) the failure to find suitable acquisition targets or
the failure to integrate operations of acquired businesses quickly and cost affectively. Failure to
execute our growth strategy could adversely affect our business.

17

We are subject to risks related to our international operations.

We have manufacturing and technical facilities in many regions including the Americas, Europe
and Asia. For 2011, approximately 76% of our sales were outside the U.S. Consequently, our results
could be affected by changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, trade restrictions or prohibitions,
import or other charges or taxes, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, limitations on the
repatriation of funds, changing economic conditions, unreliable intellectual property protection and
legal systems,
instability and disputes, and
international terrorism. Compliance with multiple and potentially conflicting laws and regulations of
various countries is burdensome and expensive.

infrastructures, social unrest, political

insufficient

A downgrade in the ratings of our debt could restrict our ability to access the debt capital
markets.

Changes in the ratings that rating agencies assign to our debt may ultimately impact our access
to the debt capital markets and the costs we incur to borrow funds. If ratings for our debt fall below
investment grade, our access to the debt capital markets could become restricted.

Additionally, our revolving credit agreement includes an increase in interest rates if the ratings for
our debt are downgraded. The interest costs on our revolving credit agreement are based on a rating
grid agreed to in our credit agreement. Further, an increase in the level of our indebtedness and
related interest costs may increase our vulnerability to adverse general economic and industry
conditions and may affect our ability to obtain additional financing.

We rely on sales to major customers.

Risks related to our customers

We rely on sales to OEMs around the world of varying credit quality. Supply to several of these
customers requires significant investment by the Company in working capital, plant and equipment.
in part, on commitments made by our customers. These
We base our growth projections,
commitments generally renew yearly during a program life cycle. If actual production orders from our
customers do not approximate such commitments due to any of a variety of factors including
non-renewal of purchase orders, the customer’s financial hardship or other unforeseen reasons, it
could adversely affect our business.

Furthermore, some of our sales are concentrated. Our worldwide sales in 2011 to Volkswagen

and Ford constituted approximately 19% and 12%, respectively, of our 2011 consolidated net sales.

We are sensitive to the affects of our major customers’ labor relations.

All three of our primary North American customers, Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, have
major union contracts with the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America. Because of domestic OEMs’ dependence on a single union, we are affected by labor
difficulties and work stoppages at OEMs’ facilities. Similarly, a majority of our global customers’
operations outside of North America are also represented by various unions. Any extended work
stoppage could have an adverse affect on our business.

Risks related to our suppliers

We could be adversely affected by supply shortages of components from our suppliers.

In an effort to manage and reduce the cost of purchased goods and services, we have been
rationalizing our supply base. As a result, we are dependent on fewer sources of supply for certain

18

components used in the manufacture of our products. The Company selects suppliers based on total
value (including total landed price, quality, delivery, and technology), taking into consideration their
production capacities and financial condition. We expect that they will deliver to our stated written
expectations.

However, there can be no assurance that capacity limitations, labor unrest, weather emergencies,
commercial disputes, government actions, riots, wars, sabotage, non-conforming parts, acts of
terrorism, “Acts of God,” or other problems experienced by our suppliers will not result in occasional
shortages or delays in their supply of components to us. If we were to experience a significant or
prolonged shortage of critical components from any of our suppliers and could not procure the
components from other sources, we would be unable to meet the production schedules for some of
our key products and could miss customer delivery expectations. This would adversely affect our
customer relations and business.

Suppliers’ economic distress could result in the disruption of our operations and could
adversely affect our business.

Rapidly changing industry conditions such as volatile production volumes; credit tightness;
changes in foreign currencies; raw material, commodity, transportation, and energy price escalation;
drastic changes in consumer preferences; and others could adversely affect our supply chain, and
sometimes with little advanced notice. These conditions could also result in increased commercial
disputes and supply interruption risks. In certain instances, it would be difficult and expensive for us
to change suppliers that are critical to our business. On occasion, we must provide financial support
to distressed suppliers or take other measures to protect our supply lines. While we have taken
definite actions to mitigate these factors, we cannot predict with certainty the potential adverse
effects these costs might have on our business.

We are subject to possible insolvency of outsourced service providers.

The Company relies on third party service providers for administration of workers’ compensation
claims, health care benefits, pension benefits, stockholder and bondholder registration and similar
services. These service providers contribute to the efficient conduct of the Company’s business.
Insolvency of one or more of these service providers could adversely affect our business.

We are subject to possible insolvency of financial counterparties.

The Company engages in numerous financial transactions and contracts including insurance
policies, letters of credit, credit line agreements, financial derivatives, and investment management
agreements involving various counterparties. The Company is subject to the risk that one or more of
these counterparties may become insolvent and therefore be unable to discharge its obligations
under such contracts.

Other risks

A variety of other factors could adversely affect our business.

Any of the following could materially and adversely affect our business: the loss of or changes in
supply contracts or sourcing strategies of our major customers or suppliers; start-up expenses
associated with new vehicle programs or delays or cancellation of such programs, utilization of our
manufacturing facilities, which can be dependent on a single product line or customer; inability to
recover engineering and tooling costs; market and financial consequences of recalls that may be
required on products we supplied; delays or difficulties in new product development; the possible
introduction of similar or superior technologies by others; global excess capacity and vehicle platform
proliferation; and the impact of natural disasters.

(a) The Company’s diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
include the impact of the Company’s 3.50% convertible senior notes and associated warrants.
For the year ending December 31, 2009, the impact of the Company’s 3.50% convertible senior
notes and associated warrants was not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share
because including them, under the if-converted method, would increase earnings per share.

(b) The Company had a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008. As a result, diluted loss per
share is the same as basic loss per share in the period, as any dilutive securities would reduce
the loss per share.

(c) The Company’s operating income and net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc. for the year
ended December 31, 2009 includes $50.3 million of restructuring expense. The Company’s
operating income and net loss attributable to BorgWarner Inc. for the year ended December 31,
2008 includes $127.5 million of restructuring expense and a goodwill
impairment charge of

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 80.2%, 80.7% and 85.8% in the years ended
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company’s material cost of sales was
approximately 50% of net sales in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. The
Company’s remaining cost to convert raw material to finished product, which includes direct labor
and manufacturing overhead, has continued to improve during the years ended December 31, 2011
and December 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 as a result of increased net sales and
successful cost reduction actions. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 19.8%, 19.3% and
14.2% in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) as a percentage of net sales were
8.7%, 10.0% and 11.6% in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. SG&A
expenses increased $54.4 million, or 9.6%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The
increase was primarily due to the $58.7 million, or 31.7%, increase in research and development
(“R&D”) costs, which are included in SG&A expenses. SG&A as a percentage of net sales has
continued to improve during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 compared
to December 31, 2009 primarily as a result of significant year over year increases in net sales.

R&D costs, net of customer reimbursements, was $243.7 million, or 3.4% of net sales, in the year
ended December 31, 2011, compared to $185.0 million, or 3.3% of net sales, and $155.2 million, or
3.9% of net sales, in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We will continue to
invest in a number of cross-business R&D programs, as well as a number of other key programs, all
of which are necessary for short and long-term growth. Our current long-term expectation for R&D
spending is approximately 4% of net sales.

Restructuring expense of $50.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, included $9.0
million relating to employee termination benefits, $36.3 million of asset impairment charges and $5.0
million of other charges. The Company’s restructuring actions reduced its North American workforce
by approximately 550 people, or 12%; its European workforce by approximately 150 people, or 2%;
and its Asian workforce by approximately 60 people, or 3%. Refer to Note 17, “Restructuring,” to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for further discussion.

Equity in affiliates’ earnings, net of tax was $38.2 million, $39.6 million and $21.8 million in the
years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This line item is primarily driven by the
results of our 50% owned Japanese joint venture, NSK-Warner, and our 32.6% owned Indian joint
venture, Turbo Energy Limited (“TEL”). The decrease in equity in affiliates’ earnings for the year ended
December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 is primarily due to lower
production volumes in Japan as a result of natural disasters. The significant increase in equity in
affiliates’ earnings for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31,
2009 is primarily due to higher vehicle production in Asia. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report for further discussion of NSK-Warner.

Interest expense and finance charges were $74.6 million, $68.8 million and $57.2 million in the
years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Interest expense and finance charges
have increased for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 compared to the
year ended December 31, 2009 primarily due to higher debt levels.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes The provision (benefit) for income taxes resulted in an
effective tax rate of 25.5% for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared with rates of 17.1% and
(103.4)% for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The effective tax rate of 25.5% for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes $11.0 million of
additional tax expense associated with the Company’s patent infringement settlement, $2.7 million of
additional tax expense associated with the loss on disposals and tax benefit of $6.2 million resulting
from other tax adjustments. These other tax adjustments related to a change in state corporate
income tax legislation as well as an adjustment of the Company’s tax accounts as a result of the
closure of certain tax audits. This rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign
rates, which differ from those in the U.S., the realization of certain business tax credits including
foreign tax credits and favorable permanent differences between book and tax treatment for items,
including equity in affiliates’ earnings. Excluding the impact of the patent infringement settlement, loss
on disposals and the other tax adjustments mentioned above, the Company’s annual effective tax
rate associated with ongoing operations for 2011 was 24.8%.

The effective tax rate of 17.1% for the year ended December 31, 2010 differs from the U.S.
statutory rate primarily due to foreign rates, which differ from those in the U.S., the realization of
certain business tax credits including foreign tax credits and favorable permanent differences
between book and tax treatment for items, including equity in affiliates’ earnings. Excluding the
impacts of the reversal of the valuation allowance on U.S. based foreign tax credits, the change in tax
treatment for Medicare Part D subsidies, the BERU-Eichenauer equity investment gain and the
Company’s environmental litigation settlement, the Company’s annual effective tax rate associated
with on-going business operations was 21.7%.

The effective tax rate of (103.4)% for the year ended December 31, 2009 differs from the U.S.
statutory rate primarily due a reduction in U.S. income; foreign rates, which differ from those in the
U.S.; the realization of certain business tax credits including R&D and U.S. based foreign tax credits;
and favorable permanent differences between book and tax treatment for items, including equity in
affiliates’ earnings.

Net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest, net of tax of $20.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2011 increased by $1.7 million and $11.1 million from the years ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increases during the year ended December 31, 2011
and December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 are primarily related to
higher sales and earnings by the Company’s joint ventures.

Results By Reporting Segment

The Company’s business is comprised of two reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain. These
segments are strategic business groups, which are managed separately as each represents a specific
grouping of related automotive components and systems.

(“ROIC”) of

The Company allocates resources to each segment based upon the projected after-tax return on
invested capital
its business initiatives. ROIC is comprised of Adjusted EBIT after
deducting notional taxes compared to the projected average capital investment required. Adjusted
EBIT is comprised of earnings before interest, income taxes and noncontrolling interest (“EBIT”)
adjusted for restructuring, goodwill
impairment charges, affiliates’ earnings and other items not
reflective of on-going operating profit or loss.

Adjusted EBIT is the measure of segment profit or loss used by the Company. The Company
believes Adjusted EBIT is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our reporting
segments.

The following tables present segment information, including sales and Adjusted EBIT, for the

years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

The Engine segment’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $989.8 million,
or 24.4%, and segment EBIT increased $236.4 million, or 43.9%, from the year ended December 31,
2010. Excluding the impact of strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, and the second
quarter 2010 acquisition of Dytech ENSA S.L., net sales increased approximately 18%. The Segment
EBIT margin was 15.3% for the year ended December 31, 2011, up from 13.2% in the year ended
December 31, 2010. The net sales and Segment EBIT increases were primarily driven by strong global
growth in all major product groups and continued cost management.

The Engine segment’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased $1,177.6
million, or 40.8%, and segment EBIT increased $318.1 million, or 144.7%, from the year ended
December 31, 2009. Excluding the impact of weakening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, and
the purchase of Dytech Ensa S.L., net sales increased approximately 38%. The net sales increase
was primarily driven by strong global growth in all major product groups. The Segment EBIT margin
was 13.2% for the year ended December 31, 2010, up from 7.6% in the year ended December 31,
2009, due to a significant increase in customer production schedules in the U.S. and European
markets and continued cost management.

The Drivetrain segment’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $473.1
million, or 29.4%, and segment EBIT increased $24.2 million from the year ended December 31, 2010.
Excluding the impact of strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, and the first quarter 2011
acquisition of Haldex Traction AB, net sales increased approximately 14%. The net sales increase
was a result of strong four-wheel drive system and traditional transmission component sales in South
Korea and higher dual clutch transmission module sales in Europe. The Segment EBIT margin was
7.7% in the year ended December 31, 2011, down from 8.5% in the year ended December 31, 2010,
primarily due to operational inefficiencies in its European operations and Traction Systems acquisition
related expenses.

The Drivetrain segment’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased $517.9
million, or 47.4%, and segment EBIT increased $150.5 million from the year ended December 31,
2009. Excluding the impact of weaker foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased
approximately 49%. The net sales increase was primarily driven by strong growth of transmission
components and torque management devices in Europe, Asia and the U.S. The Segment EBIT margin
was 8.5% in the year ended December 31, 2010, up from (1.2)% in the year ended December 31,
2009, primarily due to higher global production of light trucks and sport utility vehicles equipped with
its torque transfer products and continued cost management.

Corporate represents headquarters’ expenses not directly attributable to the individual
segments, expenses associated with divested operations and equity in affiliates’ earnings. This net
expense was $107.4 million, $111.0 million and $111.3 million for the years ended December 31,
2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Outlook

Our overall outlook for 2012 is positive. The Company expects global production volumes to be
higher in 2012 compared with 2011. In Europe, we expect production volumes to decline in 2012
compared with 2011. However, we expect that higher adoption rates of BorgWarner products around
the world will result in sales growth for the Company above global production growth in 2012.

The Company maintains a positive long-term outlook for its global business and is committed to
new product development and strategic capital
investments to enhance its product leadership
strategy. The trends that are driving our long-term growth are expected to continue, including the
the increased adoption of
growth of direct
automated transmissions in Europe and Asia-Pacific, and the move to variable cam and chain engine
timing systems in both Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $708.2 million, $538.9 million and $351.0 million in
the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in the year ended
December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily reflects higher
earnings. The increase in the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2009 primarily reflects higher earnings, offset by higher working capital needs.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $564.5 million, $429.5 million and $154.8 million in the
years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This increases in the years ended
December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 are
primarily due to increased capital spending and higher payments for businesses acquired, net of cash
acquired. Year over year capital spending increases of $117.1 million and $104.6 million during the
years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, were primarily due to higher
spending levels required to meet increased level of program launches worldwide.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $219.7 million and $13.2 million for the years ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities was $44.8
million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The $206.5 million increase in cash used in financing
activities during the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010
reflects lower net borrowings of $133.2 million, an increase in the Company’s purchases of treasury
stock of $31.9 million and the purchase of the noncontrolling interest’s 40% share of BorgWarner
Vikas Emissions Systems India Private Limited of $29.4 million.

The $58.0 million increase in cash used in financing activities during the year ended
December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 reflects the Company’s
purchase of treasury stock of $325.7 million, which was partially offset by increased proceeds from
including tax benefit of $58.4 million and net borrowings of $153.9 million and
stock options,
payments made for noncontrolling interest acquired of $48.5 million and dividends paid to
BorgWarner shareholders of $13.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2009.

We believe that the combination of cash from operations, cash balances, available credit facilities
and the remaining shelf registration capacity will be sufficient to satisfy our cash needs for our current
level of operations and our planned operations for the foreseeable future. We will continue to balance
our needs for internal growth, external growth, debt reduction and cash conservation.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has certain leases that are recorded as operating leases. Types of operating leases
include leases on the headquarters facility, an airplane, vehicles and certain office equipment. The
total expected future cash outlays for operating lease obligations at December 31, 2011 is $72.8
million. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on operating
leases, including future minimum payments.

Pension and Other Post Employment Benefits

The Company’s policy is to fund its defined benefit pension plans in accordance with applicable
government regulations and to make additional contributions when appropriate. At December 31,
2011, all legal funding requirements had been met. The Company contributed $37.0 million, $25.1
million and $39.3 million to its defined benefit pension plans in the years ended December 31, 2011,
2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company expects to contribute a total of $30 million to $40 million
into its defined benefit pension plans during 2012, including $15 million related to the Company’s
the $30 million to $40 million in projected 2012
settlement agreement with the PBGC. Of
contributions, $21.5 million are contractual obligations, while the remaining payments are
discretionary.

The funded status of all pension plans was a net unfunded position of $236.4 million and $210.4
million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Of these amounts, $128.7 million and $128.0
million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were related to plans in Germany, where there is
not a tax deduction allowed under the applicable regulations to fund the plans; hence the common
practice is to make contributions as benefit payments become due.

Other post employment benefits primarily consist of post employment health care benefits for
certain employees and retirees of the Company’s U.S. operations. The Company funds these benefits
as retiree claims are incurred. Other post employment benefits had an unfunded status of $251.0
million and $261.9 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company believes it will be able to fund the requirements of these plans through cash

generated from operations or other available sources of financing for the foreseeable future.

See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding costs and

assumptions for employee retirement benefits.

OTHER MATTERS

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various commercial and legal claims,
actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims,
general liability and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the
Company will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what
the impact might be. The Company’s environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed
separately below. The Company’s management does not expect that the results in any of these
commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints will have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Litigation

In January 2006, BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products Inc. (“DTP”), a subsidiary of the
Company, filed a declaratory judgment action in United States District Court, Southern District of
Indiana (Indianapolis Division) against the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implements
Workers of America (“UAW”) Local No. 287 and Gerald Poor, individually and as the representative of
a defendant class. DTP sought
the Court’s affirmation that DTP did not violate the Labor-
Management Relations Act or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by unilaterally
amending certain medical plans effective April 1, 2006 and October 1, 2006, prior to the expiration of
the then-current collective bargaining agreements. On September 10, 2008, the Court found that
DTP’s reservation of the right to make such amendments reducing the level of benefits provided to

36

retirees was limited by its collectively bargained health insurance agreement with the UAW, which did
not expire until April 24, 2009. Thus, the amendments were untimely. In 2008, the Company recorded
a charge of $4.0 million as a result of the Court’s decision.

DTP filed a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court, Southern District of
Indiana (Indianapolis Division) against the UAW Local No. 287 and Jim Barrett and others, individually
and as representatives of a defendant class, on February 26, 2009 again seeking the Court’s
affirmation that DTP will not violate the Labor - Management Relations Act or ERISA by modifying the
level of benefits provided retirees to make them comparable to other Company retiree benefit plans
after April 24, 2009. Certain retirees, on behalf of themselves and others, filed a mirror-image action in
the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan (Southern Division) on March 11, 2009,
for which a class has been certified. During the last quarter of 2009, the action pending in Indiana was
dismissed, while the action in Michigan is continuing and in the discovery phase. The Company is
vigorously defending against the suit. This contingency is subject to many uncertainties, therefore
based on the information available to date, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount or
the range of potential loss, if any.

Environmental

The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors,
subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties
(“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under
the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may
presently be liable for
remedial activities at 39 such sites.
Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among
PRPs based on an allocation formula.

the cost of clean-up and other

The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a
material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Generally, this is
because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not material or the liability
will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate
outcome of any such matter.

Based on information available to the Company (which in most cases includes: an estimate of
allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent
public companies, will fully pay the cost apportioned to them; currently available information from
PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and
estimated remediation and consulting costs; remediation alternatives; and estimated legal fees), the
Company has an accrual for indicated environmental
liabilities with a balance of $10.4 million at
December 31, 2011. The accrued amounts do not exceed $3.0 million related to any individual site
except for the Crystal Springs site discussed below, and we do not believe that the costs related to
any of these sites will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial
position or cash flows. The Company expects to pay out substantially all of the amounts accrued for
environmental liability over the next five years.

In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation, the Company agreed to indemnify
the buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities, then unknown to the Company,
relating to certain operations of Kuhlman Electric that pre-date the Company’s 1999 acquisition of
Kuhlman Electric. In 2007 and 2008, lawsuits were filed against Kuhlman Electric and others, including
the Company, on behalf of approximately 340 plaintiffs, alleging personal injury relating to alleged
environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant. The Company entered into a
the plaintiffs and those of
settlement

in July 2010 regarding the personal

injury claims of

37

approximately 2,700 unfiled claimants represented by those plaintiffs’ attorneys. In exchange for,
among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits and the release of claims by the
unfiled claimants, the Company agreed to pay up to $28 million in settlement funds, which was
expensed in the second quarter of 2010. The Company paid $13.9 million in November 2010 and
made the final payment of $13.9 million in February 2011. Litigation concerning indemnification is
pending and the Company may in the future become subject to further legal proceedings.

Product Liability

Like many other industrial companies who have historically operated in the U.S., the Company (or
parties the Company is obligated to indemnify) continues to be named as one of many defendants in
asbestos-related personal
injury actions. We believe that the Company’s involvement is limited
because, in general, these claims relate to a few types of automotive friction products that were
manufactured many years ago and contained encapsulated asbestos. The nature of the fibers, the
encapsulation and the manner of use lead the Company to believe that these products are highly
unlikely to cause harm. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had
approximately 16,000 and 17,000 pending asbestos-related product liability claims, respectively. Of
the approximately 16,000 outstanding claims at December 31, 2011, approximately half were pending
in jurisdictions that have undergone significant tort and judicial reform activities subsequent to the
filing of these claims.

The Company’s policy is to vigorously defend against these lawsuits and the Company has been
successful in obtaining dismissal of many claims without any payment. The Company expects that
the vast majority of the pending asbestos-related product liability claims where it is a defendant (or
has an obligation to indemnify a defendant) will result in no payment being made by the Company or
its insurers. In 2011, of the approximately 1,800 claims resolved, 288 (16%) resulted in any payment
being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company.
In the full year of 2010, of the
approximately 7,700 claims resolved, 245 (3%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by
or on behalf of the Company.

Prior to June 2004, the settlement and defense costs associated with all claims were paid by the
Company’s primary layer insurance carriers under a series of funding arrangements. In addition to the
primary insurance available for asbestos-related claims,
the Company has substantial excess
insurance coverage available for potential future asbestos-related product claims. In June 2004,
primary layer insurance carriers notified the Company of the alleged exhaustion of their policy limits.

A declaratory judgment action was filed in January 2004 in the Circuit Court of Cook County,
Illinois by Continental Casualty Company and related companies (“CNA”) against the Company and
certain of its other historical general liability insurers. The court has issued a number of interim rulings
and discovery is continuing. CNA and the Company have entered into a settlement agreement
resolving their coverage disputes, pursuant to which CNA will pay amounts over the next four years to
the Company. The Company is vigorously pursuing the litigation against the remaining insurers.

Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims or the impact of tort
reform legislation that may be enacted at the state or federal levels, due to the encapsulated nature of
the products, the Company’s experience in vigorously defending and resolving claims in the past, and
the Company’s significant insurance coverage with solvent carriers as of the date of this filing,
management does not believe that asbestos-related product liability claims are likely to have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

To date, the Company has paid and accrued $190.9 million in defense and indemnity in advance of
insurers’ reimbursement and has received $81.1 million in cash and notes from insurers, including CNA.
The net balance of $109.8 million, is expected to be fully recovered, of which approximately $33 million

38

is estimated to be recovered within one year. Timing of recovery is dependent on final resolution of the
declaratory judgment action referred to above or additional negotiated settlements. At December 31,
2010, insurers owed $120.6 million in association with these claims.

On April 5, 2010, the Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division affirmed a lower court
judgment in an asbestos-related action against the Company and others. The Company filed its
Notice of Petition to the Supreme Court of New Jersey in late April, seeking to appeal the decisions of
the lower courts. On July 8, 2010 the Supreme Court of New Jersey denied the Company’s Notice of
Petition appealing the decision of the lower courts. The total claim of $40.7 million was paid by the
Company in July 2010.

In addition to the $109.8 million net balance relating to past settlements and defense costs, the
Company has estimated a liability of $61.7 million for claims asserted, but not yet resolved and their
related defense costs at December 31, 2011. The Company also has a related asset of $61.7 million
to recognize proceeds from the insurance carriers. Insurance carrier reimbursement of 100% is
expected based on the Company’s experience, its insurance contracts and decisions received to date
in the declaratory judgment action referred to above. At December 31, 2010, the comparable value of
the insurance asset and accrued liability was $50.6 million.

The amounts recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the estimated future

settlement of existing claims are as follows:

The Company cannot reasonably estimate possible losses, if any, in excess of those for which it
has accrued, because it cannot predict how many additional claims may be brought against the
Company (or parties the Company has an obligation to indemnify) in the future, the allegations in such
claims, the possible outcomes, or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the
State or Federal levels.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
In preparing these financial statements,
management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial
statements, giving due consideration to materiality. Critical accounting policies are those that are
most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Some
of these policies require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in the
preparation of the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management makes estimates and
assumptions about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, relating to the reporting of
assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our most
critical accounting policies are discussed below.

39

Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the
date of the financial statements and the accompanying notes, as well as, the amounts of revenues
and expenses reported during the periods covered by these financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss pass to the
customer, which is usually upon shipment of product. Although the Company may enter into long-
term supply agreements with its major customers, each shipment of goods is treated as a separate
sale and the prices are not fixed over the life of the agreements.

Cost of sales The Company includes materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead within
indirect labor, factory

cost of sales. Manufacturing overhead is comprised of indirect materials,
operating costs and other such costs associated with manufacturing products for sale.

Impairment of long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets The Company
reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, whether held for use or disposal, including other
amortizable intangible assets, when events and circumstances warrant such a review under
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360. A recoverability review is performed using the
If the undiscounted cash flow test for
undiscounted cash flows if there is a triggering event.
recoverability identifies a possible impairment, management will perform a fair value analysis.
Management determines fair value under ASC Topic 820 using the appropriate valuation technique of
market, income or cost approach. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, an
impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset
exceeds its fair value.

Management believes that the estimates of future cash flows and fair value assumptions are
reasonable; however, changes in assumptions underlying these estimates could affect the valuations.
Long-lived assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less
cost to sell. Significant judgments and estimates used by management when evaluating long-lived
assets for impairment include: (i) an assessment as to whether an adverse event or circumstance has
triggered the need for an impairment review; (ii) undiscounted future cash flows generated by the
asset; and (iii) fair value of the asset.

The Company recognized $36.3 million of asset impairment charges during the year ended

December 31, 2009 within restructuring expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

See Note 17, “Restructuring,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information
long-lived assets and a discussion of market-based

regarding the Company’s impairment of
measurements.

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets During the fourth quarter of each year or
upon a triggering event, the Company reviews the goodwill assigned to each of its reporting units to
identify those units with a fair value more-likely-than-not less than its carrying value. With the
exception of two reporting units that had recent acquisition or divestiture activity, a qualitative
assessment was completed. This assessment evaluated various events and circumstances, such as
macro economic conditions,
industry and market conditions, cost factors, relevant events and
financial trends, that may impact a reporting unit’s fair value. After completing this assessment, the
Company determined it was more-likely-than-not the fair value exceeded the carrying value of the
reporting units qualitatively reviewed. A quantitative, “step one,” impairment analysis, therefore, was
not required.

40

For the two reporting units with recent acquisition or divestiture activity, the Company performed
a quantitative, “step one,” goodwill
impairment analysis, which requires the Company to make
significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, discount
rates and growth rates. The basis of this goodwill
impairment analysis is the Company’s annual
budget and long-range plan (“LRP”). The annual budget and LRP includes a five year projection of
future cash flows based on actual new products and customer commitments and assumes the last
year of the LRP data is a fair indication of the future performance. Because the LRP is estimated over
a significant future period of time, those estimates and assumptions are subject to a high degree of
uncertainty. Further, the market valuation models and other financial ratios used by the Company
require certain assumptions and estimates regarding the applicability of
those models to the
Company’s facts and circumstances. The Company believes the assumptions and estimates used to
determine its estimated fair value are reasonable. Different assumptions could materially affect the
estimated fair value.

The primary assumptions affecting the Company’s December 31, 2011 goodwill quantitative,

“step one,” impairment review are as follows:

(cid:129) Discount rate: The Company used a 10% weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) as the
discount rate for future cash flows. The WACC is intended to represent a rate of return that
would be expected by a market participant.

(cid:129) Operating income margin: The Company used historical and expected operating income

margins, which may vary based on the projections of each reporting unit being evaluated.

In addition to the above primary assumptions, the Company notes the following risk to volume

and operating income assumptions that could have an impact on the discounted cash flow model:

(cid:129) The automotive industry is cyclical and the Company’s results of operations would be

adversely affected by industry downturns.

(cid:129) The Company is dependent on market segments that use our key products and would be

affected by decreasing demand in those segments.

(cid:129) The Company is subject to risks related to international operations.

Based on the assumptions outlined above, the impairment testing conducted in the fourth quarter
of 2011 indicated the Company’s goodwill assigned to the two reporting units that were quantitatively
assessed was not impaired. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis was completed indicating a 1%
increase in the discount rate or a 1% decrease in the operating margin assumptions would not result
in the carrying value exceeding the fair value of either of the reporting units quantitatively assessed.

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding goodwill.

Product warranties The Company provides warranties on some, but not all, of its products. The
warranty terms are typically from one to three years. Provisions for estimated expenses related to
product warranty are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using
historical information about the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claim settlements as
well as product manufacturing and industry developments and recoveries from third parties.
Management actively studies trends of warranty claims and takes action to improve product quality
and minimize warranty claims. Management believes that
is appropriate;
however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the
accrual. Our warranty provision over the last three years, and as a percentage of net sales, has
trended as follows:

At December 31, 2011, the total accrued warranty liability was $72.7 million. The accrual
represented as $38.6 million in current liabilities and $34.1 million in non-current liabilities on our
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding product

warranties.

Other loss accruals and valuation allowances The Company has numerous other loss
exposures, such as customer claims, workers’ compensation claims, litigation and recoverability of
assets. Establishing loss accruals or valuation allowances for these matters requires the use of
estimates and judgment in regard to the risk exposure and ultimate realization. The Company
estimates losses under the programs using consistent and appropriate methods; however, changes
to its assumptions could materially affect the recorded accrued liabilities for loss or asset valuation
allowances.

Environmental contingencies The Company works with outside experts to determine a range of
potential liability for environmental sites. The ranges for each individual site are then aggregated into a
loss range for the total accrued liability. Management’s estimate of the loss range for environmental
liability, including conditional asset retirement obligations, for 2011 is between approximately $8
million and $23 million. We record an accrual at the most probable amount within the range unless
one cannot be determined; in which case we record the accrual at the low end of the range. At
December 31, 2011, our total accrued environmental liability was $11.5 million, which includes our
conditional asset retirement obligation under ASC Topic 410 of $1.1 million.

See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding

environmental accrual.

Pension and other post employment defined benefits The Company provides post
employment defined benefits to a number of its current and former employees. Costs associated with
post employment defined benefits include pension and post employment health care expenses for
employees, retirees and surviving spouses and dependents.

The Company’s defined benefit pension and non-pension postretirement employee benefit plans
in accordance with ASC Topic 715. Disability, early retirement and other
are accounted for
postemployment employee benefits are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 712. The
determination of the Company’s obligation and expense for its pension and other postretirement
employee benefits, such as retiree health care,
is dependent on certain assumptions used by
actuaries in calculating such amounts. Certain assumptions, including the expected long-term rate of
return on plan assets, discount rate, rates of increase in compensation and health care costs trends
are described in Note 11, “Retirement Benefit Plans,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The
effects of any modification to those assumptions are either recognized immediately or amortized over
future periods in accordance with GAAP.

42

In accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from assumptions used are accumulated and
generally amortized over
future periods. The primary assumptions affecting the Company’s
accounting for employee benefits under ASC Topics 712 and 715 as of December 31, 2011 are as
follows:

(cid:129) Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets: The expected long-term rate of return is
used in the calculation of net periodic benefit cost. The required use of the expected long-term
rate of return on plan assets may result in recognized returns that are greater or less than the
actual returns on those plan assets in any given year. Over time, however, the expected long-
term rate of return on plan assets is designed to approximate actual earned long-term returns.
The expected long-term rate of return for pension assets has been determined based on
various inputs, including historical returns for the different asset classes held by the Company’s
trusts and its asset allocation, as well as inputs from internal and external sources regarding
expected capital market return, inflation and other variables. The Company also considers the
impact of active management of the plans’ invested assets. In determining its pension expense
for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company used long-term rates of return on plan
assets ranging from 1.75% to 9.00% outside of the U.S. and 7.50% in the U.S.

Actual returns on U.S. pension assets were 3.7%, 14.6% and 25.3% for the years ended
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, compared to the expected rate of return
assumption of 7.50% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Actual returns on U.K. pension assets were 3.3%, 13.3% and 15.1% for the years ended
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, compared to the expected rate of return
assumption of 7.50% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(cid:129) Discount rate: The discount rate is used to calculate pension and postretirement employee
benefit obligations (“OPEB”). The discount rate assumption is based on a constant effective
yield from matching projected plan cash flows to high quality (Aa) bond yields of corresponding
maturities as of the measurement date. The Company used discount rates ranging from 1.75%
to 8.00% to determine its pension and other benefit obligations as of December 31, 2011,
including weighted average discount rates of 4.42% in the U.S., 5.13% outside of the U.S., and
4.25% for U.S. other post employment health care plans. The U.S. discount rate reflects the
fact that our U.S. pension plan has been closed for new participants since 1989 (1999 for our
U.S. health care plan), and with the closing of our Muncie facility in 2009, there will be
negligible service cost going forward.

(cid:129) Health care cost trend: For postretirement employee health care plan accounting, the
Company reviews external data and Company specific historical trends for health care cost to
determine the health care cost trend rate assumptions. In determining the projected benefit
obligation for postretirement employee health care plans as of December 31, 2011, the
Company used health care cost trend rates of 7.10%, declining to an ultimate trend rate of 5%
by the year 2019.

While the Company believes that these assumptions are appropriate, significant differences in
actual experience or significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the Company’s
pension and other postretirement employee benefit obligations and its future expense.

sponsored U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans on its 2012 pre-tax pension expense:

Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. In 2009, the Company
recorded a valuation allowance that primarily represented foreign net operating losses and U.S. based
foreign tax credits for which utilization was uncertain. In 2010, the Company recorded a reversal of
the Company’s $21.2 million valuation allowance on U.S. based foreign tax credit carryforwards.

44

Management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes,
deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s net
deferred tax assets. In calculating the provision for income taxes on an interim basis, the Company
uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at
each interim period. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected
financial performance of the operation recording the net deferred tax asset is considered along with
any other pertinent information. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates,
periodic adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowance may be necessary.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. at the federal and state level and numerous
non-U.S. jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for
income taxes and recording the related assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business,
there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is less than certain.
Accruals for income tax contingencies are provided for in accordance with the requirements of ASC
Topic 605. The Company’s U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns and certain non-U.S.
income tax returns are currently under various stages of audit by applicable tax authorities. Although
the outcome of ongoing tax audits is always uncertain, management believes that it has appropriate
support for the positions taken on its tax returns and that its annual tax provisions included amounts
sufficient
if any, which may be proposed by the taxing authorities. At
December 31, 2011, the Company has recorded a liability for its best estimate of the more likely than
not loss on certain of its tax positions, which is included in other non-current liabilities. Nonetheless,
the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may
differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended ASC Topic
210, “Balance Sheet,” requiring companies to disclose both gross and net
information about
instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as
instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This
guidance is effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1,
2013. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2011, the FASB amended ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,”
allowing companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not
the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is
necessary to perform the two-step goodwill
impairment test described in ASC Topic 350. This
guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption
permitted. The Company adopted this standard for the year ended December 31, 2011. The adoption
of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2011, the FASB amended ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” which requires the
presentation of the components of net income and comprehensive income in one continuous
statement or
two consecutive statements and requires companies to separately disclose
reclassifications from other comprehensive income into net income on the face of the financial
statements. This guidance requires retrospective application and is effective for interim and annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will reflect the change in presentation in all
periods presented in future filings beginning with the period ending March 31, 2012. In December

45

2011, the FASB indefinitely deferred the requirement to separately disclose reclassifications from
other comprehensive income into net income on the face of the Statement of Operations.

In May 2011, the FASB amended ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
which clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement guidance and amends the guidance
to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This
guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The
Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its Consolidated
Financial Statements.

In October 2009, the FASB amended ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” which amends the
criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements and expands the disclosure
the Company adopted this
requirements related to these arrangements. On January 1, 2011,
amendment to ASC Topic 605. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency
exchange rates. We are also affected by changes in the prices of commodities used or consumed in
our manufacturing operations. Some of our commodity purchase price risk is covered by supply
agreements with customers and suppliers. Other commodity purchase price risk is addressed by
hedging strategies, which include forward contracts. The Company enters into derivative instruments
only with high credit quality counterparties and diversifies its positions across such counterparties in
order to reduce its exposure to credit losses. We do not engage in any derivative instruments for
purposes other than hedging specific operating risks.

We have established policies and procedures to manage sensitivity to interest rate, foreign
currency exchange rate and commodity purchase price risk, which include monitoring the level of
exposure to each market risk. For quantitative disclosures about market risk, please refer to Note 10,
“Financial
for
Instruments,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of
information with respect to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.

this report

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in interest
rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing its exposure to fixed and variable
rates while attempting to minimize its interest costs. The Company selectively uses interest rate
swaps to reduce market value risk associated with changes in interest rates (fair value hedges). At
December 31, 2011, the amount of debt with fixed interest rates was 62.4% of total debt, including
the impact of the interest rate swaps. Our earnings exposure related to adverse movements in interest
rates is primarily derived from outstanding floating rate debt instruments that are indexed to floating
money market rates. A 10% increase or decrease in the average cost of our variable rate debt would
result in a change in pre-tax interest expense of approximately $1.8 million, $1.6 million and $1.5
million in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company also measures interest rate risk by estimating the net amount by which the fair
value of all of our interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities would be impacted by selected
hypothetical changes in market interest rates. Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow
analysis. Assuming a hypothetical instantaneous 10% increase in interest rates as of December 31,
2011, the net fair value of these instruments would increase by approximately $24 million. Assuming a
hypothetical instantaneous 10% decrease in interest rates as of December 31, 2011, the net fair value
of these instruments would decrease by approximately $23 million. Our interest rate sensitivity

46

analysis assumes a constant shift in interest rate yield curves. The model, therefore, does not reflect
the potential impact of changes in the relationship between short-term and long-term interest rates.
Interest rate sensitivity at December 31, 2011, measured in a similar manner, was slightly less than at
December 31, 2010.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse
changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Currently, our most significant currency exposures relate
to the British Pound, the Euro, the Hungarian Forint, the Japanese Yen, the Swedish Krona and the
South Korean Won. We mitigate our foreign currency exchange rate risk by establishing local
production facilities and related supply chain participants in the markets we serve, by invoicing
customers in the same currency as the source of the products and by funding some of our
investments in foreign markets through local currency loans and cross currency swaps. Such
non-U.S. Dollar debt was $280.4 million and $299.0 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. We also monitor our foreign currency exposure in each country and implement strategies
to respond to changing economic and political environments. In addition, the Company periodically
enters into forward currency contracts in order to reduce exposure to exchange rate risk related to
transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. As of December 31, 2011,
the Company was holding foreign exchange derivatives with positive and negative fair market values
of $2.7 million and $(2.9) million, respectively, of which $2.6 million in gains and $(2.4) million in losses
mature in less than one year.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk is the possibility that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes
in the cost of raw materials used in the production of our products. Commodity forward and option
contracts are executed to offset our exposure to the potential change in prices mainly for various
non-ferrous metals and natural gas consumption used in the manufacturing of vehicle components.
As of December 31, 2011,
the Company had no forward and option commodity contracts
outstanding.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The information in this report is the responsibility of management. BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated
Subsidiaries (the “Company”) has in place reporting guidelines and policies designed to ensure that the
statements and other information contained in this report present a fair and accurate financial picture of the
In fulfilling this management responsibility, we make informed judgments and estimates

conforming with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers

LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm.

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal

control over financial reporting.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America. The internal control process includes those policies and procedures that:

(cid:129) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the

transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

(cid:129) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the Company; and

(cid:129) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or

timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.

Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even
those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only
reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used
the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”)
in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.

Based on management’s assessment and those criteria, we believe that, as of December 31, 2011, the

Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the
Company’s consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of internal controls over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2011 as stated in their report.

The Company’s Audit Committee, composed entirely of directors of the Company who are not
employees, meets periodically with the Company’s management and independent registered public
accounting firm to review financial results and procedures, internal financial controls and internal and
external audit plans and recommendations. In carrying out these responsibilities, the Audit Committee and
the independent registered public accounting firm have unrestricted access to each other with or without
the presence of management representatives.

Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our
audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the
financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our
audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating
the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also
included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INTRODUCTION

BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a leading global supplier of
highly engineered systems and components primarily for powertrain applications, which help to
improve vehicle performance,
fuel efficiency, stability and air quality. These products are
manufactured and sold worldwide, primarily to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of light
vehicles (passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles (“SUVs”), vans and light-trucks). The Company’s
products are also sold to other OEMs of commercial vehicles (medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks
and buses) and off-highway vehicles (agricultural and construction machinery and marine
applications). We also manufacture and sell our products to certain Tier One vehicle systems
suppliers and into the aftermarket for light, commercial and off-highway vehicles. The Company
operates manufacturing facilities serving customers in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and is an
original equipment supplier to every major automotive OEM in the world. The Company’s products fall
into two reporting segments: Engine and Drivetrain.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following paragraphs briefly describe the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Use of estimates The preparation of

financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial
statements and the accompanying notes, as well as, the amounts of revenues and expenses reported
during the periods covered by these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of risk Cash is maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with
banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits
may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and
therefore bear minimal risk.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its suppliers and customers and, with the
exception of certain financing transactions, does not require collateral from its OEM customers. Some
automotive parts suppliers continue to experience commodity cost pressures and the effects of
industry overcapacity. These factors have increased pressure on the industry’s supply base, as
suppliers cope with higher commodity costs, lower production volumes and other challenges. The
Company receives certain of its raw materials from sole suppliers or a limited number of suppliers.
The inability of a supplier to fulfill supply requirements of the Company could materially affect future
operating results.

Principles of consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include all majority-owned
subsidiaries with a controlling financial interest. All
inter-company accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in 20% to 50% owned affiliates are accounted for
under the equity method when the Company does not have a controlling financial interest.

Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss pass to the
customer, which is usually upon shipment of product. Although the Company may enter into long-
term supply agreements with its major customers, each shipment of goods is treated as a separate
sale and the prices are not fixed over the life of the agreements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Cost of sales The Company includes materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead within
indirect labor, factory

cost of sales. Manufacturing overhead is comprised of indirect materials,
operating costs and other such costs associated with manufacturing products for sale.

Cash Cash is valued at fair market value. It is the Company’s policy to classify all highly liquid

investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash.

Receivables, net The Company securitizes certain receivables through third party financial
institutions without recourse. The amount can vary each month based on the amount of underlying
receivables. The Company continues to administer the collection of these receivables on behalf of the
third party.

On April 24, 2009, the Company’s $50 million accounts receivable securitization facility matured
and was repaid. On December 21, 2009, the Company entered into a new $50 million accounts
receivable securitization facility, which was amended on September 8, 2010 to increase the facility
from $50 million to $80 million. This facility matures on December 21, 2012.

Inventories, net Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost of U.S. inventories is
determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method, while the foreign operations use the first-in,
first-out (“FIFO”) or average-cost methods. Inventory held by U.S. operations was $100.6 million and
$100.1 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Such inventories, if valued at current
cost instead of LIFO, would have been greater by $15.3 million and $13.2 million at December 31,
2011 and 2010, respectively.

See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on inventories, net.

Pre-production costs related to long-term supply arrangements Engineering, research and
development and other design and development costs for products sold on long-term supply
arrangements are expensed as incurred unless the Company has a contractual guarantee for
reimbursement from the customer. Costs for molds, dies and other tools used to make products sold
on long-term supply arrangements for which the Company either has title to the assets or has the
non-cancelable right to use the assets during the term of the supply arrangement are capitalized in
property, plant and equipment and amortized to cost of sales over the shorter of the term of the
arrangement or over the estimated useful lives of the assets, typically 3 to 5 years. Costs for molds,
dies and other tools used to make products sold on long-term supply arrangements for which the
Company has a contractual guarantee for lump sum reimbursement from the customer are capitalized
in prepayments and other current assets.

Property, plant and equipment, net Property, plant and equipment is valued at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and renewals of relatively minor
items are generally charged to expense as incurred. Renewals of significant items are capitalized.
Depreciation is generally computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the
lives for machinery and
assets. Useful
equipment range from 3 to 12 years. For income tax purposes, accelerated methods of depreciation
are generally used. The Company’s property, plant and equipment is held for use at December 31,
2011 and 2010.

lives for buildings range from 15 to 40 years and useful

See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on property, plant and

equipment, net.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Impairment of long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets The Company
reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, whether held for use or disposal, including other
amortizing intangible assets, when events and circumstances warrant such a review under
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360. A recoverability review is performed using the
undiscounted cash flows if there is a triggering event.
If the undiscounted cash flow test for
recoverability identifies a possible impairment, management will perform a fair value analysis.
Management determines fair value under ASC Topic 820 using the appropriate valuation technique of
market, income or cost approach. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, an
impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset
exceeds its fair value.

Management believes that the estimates of future cash flows and fair value assumptions are
reasonable; however, changes in assumptions underlying these estimates could affect the valuations.
Long-lived assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less
cost to sell. Significant judgments and estimates used by management when evaluating long-lived
assets for impairment include: (i) an assessment as to whether an adverse event or circumstance has
triggered the need for an impairment review; (ii) undiscounted future cash flows generated by the
asset; and (iii) fair valuation of the asset.

See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the

Company’s impairment of long-lived assets and a discussion of market-based measurements.

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets During the fourth quarter of each year or
upon a triggering event, the Company reviews the goodwill assigned to each of its reporting units to
identify those units with a fair value more-likely-than-not less than its carrying value. With the
exception of two reporting units that had recent acquisition or divestiture activity, a qualitative
assessment was completed. This assessment evaluated various events and circumstances, such as
macro economic conditions,
industry and market conditions, cost factors, relevant events and
financial trends, that may impact a reporting unit’s fair value. After completing this assessment, the
Company determined it was more-likely-than-not the fair value exceeded the carrying value of the
reporting units qualitatively reviewed. A quantitative, “step one,” impairment analysis, therefore, was
not required.

For the two reporting units with recent acquisition or divestiture activity, the Company performed
a quantitative, “step one,” goodwill
impairment analysis, which requires the Company to make
significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, discount
rates and growth rates. The basis of this goodwill
impairment analysis is the Company’s annual
budget and long-range plan (“LRP”). The annual budget and LRP includes a five year projection of
future cash flows based on actual new products and customer commitments and assumes the last
year of the LRP data is a fair indication of the future performance. Because the LRP is estimated over
a significant future period of time, those estimates and assumptions are subject to a high degree of
uncertainty. Further, the market valuation models and other financial ratios used by the Company
those models to the
require certain assumptions and estimates regarding the applicability of
Company’s facts and circumstances.

A considerable amount of management judgment and assumptions are required in performing
the impairment tests. While no impairment existed during the year ended December 31, 2011,
different assumptions and estimates could materially change the estimated fair values.

57

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on goodwill and other

indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Product warranties The Company provides warranties on some, but not all, of its products. The
warranty terms are typically from one to three years. Provisions for estimated expenses related to
product warranty are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using
historical information about the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claim settlements as
well as product manufacturing and industry developments and recoveries from third parties.
Management actively studies trends of warranty claims and takes action to improve product quality
and minimize warranty claims. Management believes that
is appropriate;
however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the
accrual. The product warranty accrual
is allocated to current and non-current liabilities in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

the warranty accrual

See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on product warranties.

Other loss accruals and valuation allowances The Company has numerous other loss
exposures, such as customer claims, workers’ compensation claims, litigation and recoverability of
assets. Establishing loss accruals or valuation allowances for these matters requires the use of
estimates and judgment in regard to the risk exposure and ultimate realization. The Company
estimates losses under the programs using consistent and appropriate methods, however, changes
to its assumptions could materially affect the recorded accrued liabilities for loss or asset valuation
allowances.

Derivative financial

instruments The Company recognizes that certain normal business
transactions generate risk. Examples of risks include exposure to exchange rate risk related to
transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, changes in commodity
costs and interest rates. It is the objective and responsibility of the Company to assess the impact of
these transaction risks and offer protection from selected risks through various methods, including
financial derivatives. Virtually all derivative instruments held by the Company are designated as
hedges, have high correlation with the underlying exposure and are highly effective in offsetting
underlying price movements. Accordingly, gains and losses from changes in qualifying hedge fair
values are matched with the underlying transactions. All hedge instruments are carried at their fair
value based on quoted market prices for contracts with similar maturities. The Company does not
engage in any derivative transactions for purposes other than hedging specific risks.

See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on derivative financial

instruments.

Foreign currency The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars
using the period-end exchange rate for assets and liabilities and an average exchange rate for each
period for revenues, expenses and capital expenditures. The local currency is the functional currency
for substantially all of
the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Translation adjustments for foreign
subsidiaries are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in
equity. The Company recognizes transaction gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency
exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency in
earnings as incurred, except for those transactions which hedge purchase commitments and for
those intercompany balances which are designated as long-term investments.

See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on accumulated

other comprehensive income (loss).

58

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Environmental contingencies The Company accounts for environmental costs in accordance
with ASC Topic 450. Costs related to environmental assessments and remediation efforts at operating
facilities are accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of that
liability can be reasonably estimated. Estimated costs are recorded at undiscounted amounts, based
on experience and assessments and are regularly evaluated. The liabilities are recorded in accounts
payable and accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated
Balance Sheets.

See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding

environmental contingencies.

Pensions and other postretirement employee defined benefits The Company’s defined
benefit pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans are accounted for in accordance
with ASC Topic 715. Disability, early retirement and other post employment employee benefits are
accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 712.

Pensions and other postretirement employee benefit costs and related liabilities and assets are
dependent upon assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount
rates, expected returns on plan assets, health care cost trends, compensation and other factors. In
accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions used are accumulated and
amortized over future periods, and accordingly, generally affect recognized expense in future periods.

See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the

Company’s pension and other postretirement employee defined benefit plans.

Income taxes In accordance with ASC Topic 740, the Company’s income tax expense is
calculated based on expected income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the
Company operates and requires the use of management’s estimates and judgments.

See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding income

taxes.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended ASC Topic
information about
210, “Balance Sheet,” requiring companies to disclose both gross and net
instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as
instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This
guidance is effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1,
2013. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2011, the FASB amended ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,”
allowing companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not
the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is
necessary to perform the two-step goodwill
impairment test described in ASC Topic 350. This
guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption
permitted. The Company adopted this standard for the year ended December 31, 2011. The adoption
of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

59

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In June 2011, the FASB amended ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” which requires the
presentation of the components of net income and comprehensive income in one continuous
statement or
two consecutive statements and requires companies to separately disclose
reclassifications from other comprehensive income into net income on the face of the financial
statements. This guidance requires retrospective application and is effective for interim and annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will reflect the change in presentation in all
periods presented in future filings beginning with the period ending March 31, 2012. In December
2011, the FASB indefinitely deferred the requirement to separately disclose reclassifications from
other comprehensive income into net income on the face of the Statement of Operations.

In May 2011, the FASB amended ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
which clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement guidance and amends the guidance
to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This
guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The
Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its Consolidated
Financial Statements.

In October 2009, the FASB amended ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” which amends the
criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements and expands the disclosure
requirements related to these arrangements. On January 1, 2011,
the Company adopted this
amendment to ASC Topic 605. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Company’s net Research & Development (“R&D”) expenditures are included in selling,
the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Customer
general and administrative expenses of
reimbursements are netted against gross R&D expenditures as they are considered a recovery of
cost. Customer reimbursements for prototypes are recorded net of prototype costs based on
customer contracts, typically either when the prototype is shipped or when it is accepted by the
customer. Customer reimbursements for engineering services are recorded when performance
obligations are satisfied in accordance with the contract and accepted by the customer. Financial
risks and rewards transfer upon shipment, acceptance of a prototype component by the customer or
upon completion of the performance obligation as stated in the respective customer agreement.

The following table presents the Company’s gross and net expenditures on R&D activities:

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes $11.0
million of additional tax expense associated with the Company’s patent infringement settlement, $2.7
million of additional tax expense associated with the loss from disposal activities and a tax benefit of
$6.2 million resulting from other tax adjustments. These other tax adjustments related to a change in
state corporate income tax legislation as well as an adjustment of the Company’s tax accounts as a
result of the closure of certain tax audits. During 2011, several countries enacted changes to their
respective statutory income tax rates. None of

favorable impact of $21.2 million related to the reversal of the Company’s valuation allowance on U.S.
based foreign tax credit carryforwards, the impact of the change in tax legislation related to Medicare
Part D subsidies of $2.9 million, additional tax expense of $2.3 million associated with the BERU—
Eichenauer equity investment gain and the tax benefit of $9.8 million associated with the Company’s

December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively,
unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2011, approximately $22.6 million of
the total
represents the amount, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in future
periods. This amount differs from the gross unrecognized tax benefits presented in the table due to
the decrease in the U.S. federal income taxes which would occur upon recognition of the state tax

* Other non-current assets and liabilities have been netted within their respective taxing jurisdictions

due to consolidation (primarily U.S. and Germany).

Deferred income taxes — current assets are primarily comprised of amounts from the U.S.,
France, Italy, Japan, Spain and South Korea. Deferred income taxes — current liabilities are primarily
comprised of amounts from Germany. Other non-current assets are primarily comprised of amounts
from the U.S. Other non-current liabilities are primarily comprised of amounts from Germany, Italy,
Spain, Sweden and the U.K.

At December 31, 2011, certain non-U.S. subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards
totaling $64.1 million available to offset future taxable income. Of the total $64.1 million, $35.4 million
expire at various dates from 2012 through 2031 and the remaining $28.7 million have no expiration
date. The Company has a valuation allowance of $1.5 million recorded on $5.5 million of non-U.S net
operating loss carryforwards. Certain U.S. subsidiaries have state net operating loss carryforwards
totaling $537.4 million which are completely offset by a valuation allowance due to risk of realization.
Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries located in China, Korea and Poland have tax exemptions or tax
holidays, which reduced tax expense approximately $21.8 million in 2011. All the existing tax holidays
remain in effect during 2012 and the tax holiday in Poland is scheduled to expire in 2013. The U.S.
has foreign tax credit carryforwards of $158.2 million, which expire at various dates from 2015
through 2020.

The Company has not recorded deferred income taxes on the difference between the book and
tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries or foreign equity affiliates totaling approximately $1.8
billion in 2011, as these amounts are essentially permanent in nature. The difference will become
taxable upon repatriation of assets, sale or liquidation of the investment. It is not practicable to
determine the unrecognized deferred tax liability on the difference because the actual tax liability, if
any, is dependent on circumstances existing when the repatriation occurs.

NOTE 6 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

During the fourth quarter of each year or upon a triggering event, the Company reviews the
goodwill assigned to each of its reporting units to identify those units with a fair value more-likely-
than-not less than its carrying value. With the exception of two reporting units that had recent
acquisition or divestiture activity, a qualitative assessment was completed. This assessment
evaluated various events and circumstances, such as macro economic conditions, industry and
market conditions, cost factors, relevant events and financial trends, that may impact a reporting
unit’s fair value. After completing this assessment, the Company determined it was more-likely-
than-not the fair value exceeded the carrying value of the reporting units qualitatively reviewed. A
quantitative, “step one,” impairment analysis, therefore, was not required.

For the two reporting units with recent acquisition or divestiture activity, the Company performed
impairment analysis, which requires the Company to make
a quantitative, “step one,” goodwill
significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, discount
impairment analysis is the Company’s annual
rates and growth rates. The basis of this goodwill

68

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

budget and long-range plan (“LRP”). The annual budget and LRP includes a five year projection of
future cash flows based on actual new products and customer commitments and assumes the last
year of the LRP data is a fair indication of the future performance. Because the LRP is estimated over
a significant future period of time, those estimates and assumptions are subject to a high degree of
uncertainty. Further, the market valuation models and other financial ratios used by the Company
require certain assumptions and estimates regarding the applicability of
those models to the
Company’s facts and circumstances. The Company believes the assumptions and estimates used to
determine its estimated fair value are reasonable. Different assumptions could materially affect the
estimated fair value. The primary assumptions affecting the Company’s December 31, 2011 goodwill
quantitative, “step one,” impairment review are as follows:

(cid:129) Discount rate: The Company used a 10% weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) as the
discount rate for future cash flows. The WACC is intended to represent a rate of return that
would be expected by a market participant.

(cid:129) Operating income margin: The Company used historical and expected operating income

margins, which may vary based on the projections of each reporting unit being evaluated.

In addition to the above primary assumptions, the Company notes the following risk to volume

and operating income assumptions that could have an impact on the discounted cash flow model:

(cid:129) The automotive industry is cyclical and the Company’s results of operations would be

adversely affected by industry downturns.

(cid:129) The Company is dependent on market segments that use our key products and would be

affected by decreasing demand in those segments.

(cid:129) The Company is subject to risks related to international operations.

Based on the assumptions outlined above, the impairment testing conducted in the fourth quarter
of 2011 indicated the Company’s goodwill assigned to the two reporting units that were quantitatively
assessed was not impaired. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis was completed indicating a 1%
increase in the discount rate or a 1% decrease in the operating margin assumptions would not result
in the carrying value exceeding the fair value of either of the reporting units quantitatively assessed.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2011 and

The Company’s long-term debt includes various financial covenants, none of which are expected

to restrict future operations.

On June 30, 2011, the Company amended and extended its $550 million multi-currency revolving
credit facility (which included a feature that allowed the Company’s borrowings to be increased to
$600 million) to a $650 million multi-currency revolving credit facility (which includes a feature that
allows the Company’s borrowings to be increased to $1 billion). The facility provides for borrowings
through June 30, 2016 and is guaranteed by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries. The

72

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Company has two key financial covenants as part of the credit agreement. These covenants are a
debt compared to EBITDA (“Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization”) test and
an interest coverage test. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2011
and expects to remain compliant in future periods. At December 31, 2011, the Company had
outstanding borrowings of $70 million under this facility. There were no outstanding borrowings under
this facility at December 31, 2010.

On September 16, 2010, the Company issued $250 million in 4.625% senior notes due 2020.
Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on
March 15, 2011.

On April 9, 2009, the Company issued $373.8 million in convertible senior notes due April 15,
2012. Under ASC Topic 470, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in
Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement),” the Company accounted for
the
convertible senior notes by bifurcating the instruments between its liability and equity components.
The value of the debt component was based on the fair value of issuing a similar nonconvertible debt
security. The value of the equity component was calculated by deducting the value of the liability from
the proceeds received at issuance. The Company’s December 31, 2011 Consolidated Balance Sheet
includes current debt of $368.5 million due April 15, 2012 and capital in excess of par value of $36.5
million. Additionally, ASC Topic 470 requires the Company to accrete the discounted carrying value of
the convertible notes to their face value over the term of the notes. The Company’s interest expense
associated with this amortization is based on the effective interest rate of the convertible senior notes
of 9.365%. The total
interest expense related to the convertible senior notes in the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was as
follows:

The notes pay interest semi-annually of $6.5 million, which is at a coupon rate of 3.50% per year.

Holders of the notes may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of
business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the notes,
in multiples of $1,000 principal amount. The initial conversion rate for the notes is 30.4706 shares of
the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (representing an initial
conversion price of approximately $32.82 per share of common stock). The conversion price
represents a conversion premium of 27.50% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s
common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on April 6, 2009 of $25.74 per share. Since the
Company’s stock price was above the convertible senior notes conversion price of $32.82, the
if-converted value was approximately $352.1 million and $450.2 million higher than the face value of
the convertible senior notes at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
In
conjunction with the note offering, the Company entered into a bond hedge overlay at a net pre-tax
cost of $25.2 million, effectively raising the conversion premium to 50.0%, or approximately $38.61
per share. In accordance with the original terms of the agreement, the Company has an option to
settle the convertible senior notes through delivering cash, shares of
its common stock or a
combination thereof. On December 13, 2011, the Company announced its intention to settle the
convertible senior notes through delivering shares of its common stock, currently held in treasury
stock.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the estimated fair values of the Company’s senior unsecured
notes totaled $1,454.4 million and $1,482.3 million, respectively. The estimated fair values were
$435.5 million and $483.7 million higher at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, than their
carrying values. Fair market values are developed by the use of estimates obtained from brokers and
other appropriate valuation techniques based on information available as of quarter-end and year-
end. The fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the
current markets.

The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $50.0 million and $26.5 million at December 31,
2011 and 2010, respectively. The letters of credit typically act as guarantees of payment to certain
third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.

NOTE 9 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC Topic 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific
measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market
participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy,
which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2:

Level 3:

Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either
directly or indirectly; and

Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the
reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three

valuation techniques noted in ASC Topic 820:

A. Market approach: Prices and other

relevant

information generated by market

transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

B. Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an

asset (replacement cost).

C.

Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount
based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and
excess earnings models).

NOTE 10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and marketable securities. Due to the short-
term nature of these instruments, their book value approximates their fair value. The Company’s
financial instruments also include long-term debt, interest rate and cross-currency swaps, commodity
derivative contracts, and foreign currency derivatives. All derivative contracts are placed with
counterparties that have an S&P, or equivalent, investment grade credit rating at the time of the
contracts’ placement. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no derivative contracts that
contained credit risk related contingent features.

The Company selectively uses cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency exposure
investment hedges). At

The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to protect against exchange
rate movements for forecasted cash flows,
including purchases, operating expenses or sales
transactions designated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit. Foreign
currency derivative contracts require the Company, at a future date, to either buy or sell foreign
currency in exchange for the operating units’ local currency.

In 2006, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of a
portion of its senior notes. In the first quarter of 2009, the Company terminated interest rate swaps
designated as fair value hedges of debt. Therefore, the basis adjustments of $34.5 million present at the
termination of the hedging relationship are being amortized over the remaining life of the respective debt
maturing in 2016 and 2019. The $30.0 million cash received related to the termination of these interest rate
swaps is included in the Financing section of the Statement of Cash Flows. The Company recognized $5.7
million in interest expense in the first quarter of 2009 as a result of
the early termination. As of
December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no outstanding fixed to floating interest rate swap agreements.

Effectiveness for cash flow and net investment hedges is assessed at the inception of the hedging
relationship and quarterly, thereafter. To the extent that derivative instruments are deemed to be effective
as defined by ASC Topic 815, gains and losses arising from these contracts are deferred in accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). Such gains and losses will be reclassified into income as the
underlying operating transactions are realized. Gains and losses not qualifying for deferral treatment have
been credited/charged to income as they are recognized.

78

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The table below shows deferred gains and losses at the end of the period reported in AOCI and
amounts expected to be reclassified to income within the one year or less. The gain or loss expected
to be reclassified to income in one year or less assumes no change in the current relationship of the

Net investment hedges are derivative contracts entered into to hedge against changes in
exchange rates that affect the overall value of net investments in foreign entities. Gains and losses on
net investment hedges are recorded in AOCI and are used to offset equivalent gains or losses in the
value of net investments that are recorded in translation gains and losses which is also a component
of AOCI. Net investment hedges, designated under ASC Topic 815, held during the period resulted in
the following gains or losses recorded in income:

Cash flow hedges are derivative contracts entered into to hedge against fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates and commodity prices. The effective portion of gains or losses exactly offset gains or
losses in the underlying transaction that they were designated to hedge, and are recorded on the
same line in the statement of operations. Ineffectiveness resulting from imperfect matches between
the underlying transaction are
changes in value of hedge contracts and changes in value of
immediately recognized in income. Cash flow hedges, designated under ASC Topic 815, held during

NOTE 11 RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors various defined contribution savings plans, primarily in the U.S., that
allow employees to contribute a portion of their pre-tax and/or after-tax income in accordance with

79

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

plan specified guidelines. Under specified conditions, the Company will make contributions to the
plans and/or match a percentage of the employee contributions up to certain limits. Total expense
related to the defined contribution plans was $18.9 million, $19.2 million and $16.6 million in the years
ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company has a number of defined benefit pension plans and other post employment benefit
plans covering eligible salaried and hourly employees and their dependents. The defined pension
benefits provided are primarily based on (i) years of service and (ii) average compensation or a
monthly retirement benefit amount. The Company provides defined benefit pension plans in the U.S.,
U.K., Germany, Japan, South Korea, Italy, France, Ireland, Monaco, Mexico and Sweden. The other
post employment benefit plans, which provide medical and life insurance benefits, are unfunded
plans. All pension and other post employment benefit plans in the U.S. have been closed to new
employees since 1999. The measurement date for all plans is December 31.

Indiana automotive component plant

On February 26, 2009, the Company’s subsidiary, BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products
Inc. (“DTP”), entered into a Plant Shutdown Agreement with the United Auto Workers (“UAW”) for its
Muncie,
(the “Muncie Plant”). Management subsequently
wound-down production activity at the plant, with operations effectively ceased as of March 31,
2009. As a result of the closure of the Muncie Plant, the Company recorded a curtailment gain of
$41.9 million in the other post employment benefit plan during the first quarter of 2009. The Plant
Shutdown Agreement also included a settlement of a portion of the UAW retiree health care
obligation, which resulted in a settlement loss of $14.0 million during the first quarter of 2009. The
combined pre-tax impact of these actions was a net gain of $27.9 million.

On March 24, 2010, the Company finalized its settlement agreement regarding the closure of the
Muncie Plant with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation in which the Company will make certain
payments directly to the Muncie Plant’s defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”). On December 23,
2009, the Company made an initial cash contribution of $23 million for the 2009 Plan year, consistent
with the settlement agreement. Also under the settlement agreement, the Company made a cash
contribution to the Plan of $15 million during the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company will
make a cash contribution to the Plan of $15 million in both 2012 and 2013, unless this contribution
exceeds the maximum amounts deductible under the applicable U.S. tax regulations. The Company
provided $35 million in the form of a surety bond and will waive a credit balance valued at $8 million in
2014. In the second quarter of 2011, the Company replaced the original surety bond with $35 million
in letters of credit.

The following table summarizes the expenses for the Company’s defined contribution and

defined benefit pension plans and the other post employment defined benefit plans.

The Company’s investment strategy is to maintain actual asset weightings within a preset range
of target allocations. The Company believes these ranges represent an appropriate risk profile for the
planned benefit payments of the plans based on the timing of the estimated benefit payments. Within
each asset category, separate portfolios are maintained for additional diversification. Investment
managers are retained within each asset category to manage each portfolio against its benchmark.
Each investment manager has appropriate investment guidelines. In addition, the entire portfolio is
evaluated against a relevant peer group. The defined benefit pension plans did not hold any Company
securities as investments as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. A portion of pension assets are
invested in common and comingled trusts.

The Company expects to contribute a total of $30 million to $40 million into its defined benefit
pension plans during 2012, including $15 million related to the Company’s settlement agreement with
the PBGC discussed above. Of the $30 million to $40 million in projected 2012 contributions, $21.5
million are contractually obligated, while the remaining payments are discretionary.

Refer to Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements,” for more detail surrounding the fair value of each
major category of plan assets as well as the inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the fair
value measurements of the plans’ assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

* In the year ended December 31, 2009, the other post employment benefits settlement/curtailment
of $61.9 million, in the table above, was offset by a $34.0 million cost to settle, resulting in a net
pre-tax gain of $27.9 million. Excluding the $61.9 million settlement/curtailment gain,
the
Company’s 2009 other post employment benefit expense was $13.5 million.

The estimated net loss for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year
is $9.3 million. The estimated net loss and prior service credit for the other post employment plans
that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic benefit
cost over the next fiscal year are $6.9 million and $(6.4) million, respectively.

The Company’s weighted-average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations for its

The Company’s approach to establishing the discount rate is based upon the market yields of
high-quality corporate bonds, with appropriate consideration of each plan’s defined benefit payment
terms and duration of the liabilities. The discount rate assumption is typically rounded up or down to
the nearest 25 basis points for each plan.

The Company determines its expected return on plan asset assumptions by evaluating estimates
of future market returns and the plans’ asset allocation. The Company also considers the impact of
active management of the plans’ invested assets.

The estimated future benefit payments for the pension and other post employment benefits are

NOTE 12 STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

Under the Company’s 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (“1993 Plan”), the Company granted options to
purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the fair market value on the date of grant. The
options vest over periods up to three years and have a term of ten years from date of grant. As of
December 31, 2003, there were no options available for future grants under the 1993 Plan. The 1993
Plan expired at the end of 2003 and was replaced by the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan,
which was amended at the Company’s 2009 Annual Stockholders Meeting, among other things, to
increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan. Under the BorgWarner Inc.
Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Stock Incentive Plan”), 12.5 million shares
are authorized for grant, of which approximately 2.2 million shares are available for future issuance.

Stock Options The Company recognized no stock compensation expense and negligible stock
option compensation expense during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s stock option compensation expense
reduced earnings before income and noncontrolling interest by $6.6 million, net earnings by $5.1
million and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.04, respectively.

Restricted Stock At

its November 2007 meeting,

the Company’s Compensation Committee
decided that restricted common stock awards and stock units (“restricted stock”) would be awarded in
place of stock options for long-term incentive award grants to employees. Restricted stock granted to
employees vest 50% after two years and the remainder after three years from the date of grant.
Restricted stock granted to non-employee directors generally vests on the anniversary date of the grant.

The value of restricted stock is determined by the market value of the Company’s common stock
at the date of grant. In February 2011, restricted stock in the amount of 270,144 was granted to
employees under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. In April 2011, restricted stock in the amount of 3,288
was granted to non-employee directors under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The value of the awards
is recorded as unearned compensation within capital in excess of par value in equity and is amortized
as compensation expense over the restriction periods.

Restricted stock compensation expense reduced earnings before income taxes and
noncontrolling interest, net earnings and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2011,

NOTE 14 CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various commercial and legal claims,
actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims,
general liability and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the
Company will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or, if not, what
the impact might be. The Company’s environmental and product liability contingencies are discussed
separately below. The Company’s management does not expect that the results in any of these
commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints will have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Litigation

In January 2006, BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products Inc. (“DTP”), a subsidiary of the
Company, filed a declaratory judgment action in United States District Court, Southern District of
Indiana (Indianapolis Division) against the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implements
Workers of America (“UAW”) Local No. 287 and Gerald Poor, individually and as the representative of
a defendant class. DTP sought
the Court’s affirmation that DTP did not violate the Labor-
Management Relations Act or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by unilaterally
amending certain medical plans effective April 1, 2006 and October 1, 2006, prior to the expiration of
the then-current collective bargaining agreements. On September 10, 2008, the Court found that
DTP’s reservation of the right to make such amendments reducing the level of benefits provided to
retirees was limited by its collectively bargained health insurance agreement with the UAW, which did
not expire until April 24, 2009. Thus, the amendments were untimely. In 2008, the Company recorded
a charge of $4.0 million as a result of the Court’s decision.

88

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

DTP filed a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court, Southern District of
Indiana (Indianapolis Division) against the UAW Local No. 287 and Jim Barrett and others, individually
and as representatives of a defendant class, on February 26, 2009 again seeking the Court’s
affirmation that DTP will not violate the Labor - Management Relations Act or ERISA by modifying the
level of benefits provided retirees to make them comparable to other Company retiree benefit plans
after April 24, 2009. Certain retirees, on behalf of themselves and others, filed a mirror-image action in
the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan (Southern Division) on March 11, 2009,
for which a class has been certified. During the last quarter of 2009, the action pending in Indiana was
dismissed, while the action in Michigan is continuing and in the discovery phase. The Company is
vigorously defending against the suit. This contingency is subject to many uncertainties, therefore
based on the information available to date, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount or
the range of potential loss, if any.

Environmental

The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors,
subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties
the Comprehensive Environmental
(“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state laws and, as such, may
presently be liable for
remedial activities at 39 such sites.
Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among
PRPs based on an allocation formula.

the cost of clean-up and other

The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a
material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Generally, this is
because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not material or the liability
will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate
outcome of any such matter.

Based on information available to the Company (which in most cases includes: an estimate of
allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent
public companies, will fully pay the cost apportioned to them; currently available information from
PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and
estimated remediation and consulting costs; remediation alternatives; and estimated legal fees), the
liabilities with a balance of $10.4 million at
Company has an accrual for indicated environmental
December 31, 2011. The accrued amounts do not exceed $3.0 million related to any individual site
except for the Crystal Springs site discussed below, and we do not believe that the costs related to
any of these sites will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial
position or cash flows. The Company expects to pay out substantially all of the amounts accrued for
environmental liability over the next five years.

In connection with the sale of Kuhlman Electric Corporation, the Company agreed to indemnify
the buyer and Kuhlman Electric for certain environmental liabilities, then unknown to the Company,
relating to certain operations of Kuhlman Electric that pre-date the Company’s 1999 acquisition of
Kuhlman Electric. In 2007 and 2008, lawsuits were filed against Kuhlman Electric and others, including
the Company, on behalf of approximately 340 plaintiffs, alleging personal injury relating to alleged
environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant. The Company entered into a
settlement
the plaintiffs and those of
approximately 2,700 unfiled claimants represented by those plaintiffs’ attorneys. In exchange for,

in July 2010 regarding the personal

injury claims of

89

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

among other things, the dismissal with prejudice of these lawsuits and the release of claims by the
unfiled claimants, the Company agreed to pay up to $28 million in settlement funds, which was
expensed in the second quarter of 2010. The Company paid $13.9 million in November 2010 and
made the final payment of $13.9 million in February 2011. Litigation concerning indemnification is
pending and the Company may in the future become subject to further legal proceedings.

Product Liability

Like many other industrial companies who have historically operated in the U.S., the Company (or
parties the Company is obligated to indemnify) continues to be named as one of many defendants in
injury actions. We believe that the Company’s involvement is limited
asbestos-related personal
because, in general, these claims relate to a few types of automotive friction products that were
manufactured many years ago and contained encapsulated asbestos. The nature of the fibers, the
encapsulation and the manner of use lead the Company to believe that these products are highly
unlikely to cause harm. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had
approximately 16,000 and 17,000 pending asbestos-related product liability claims, respectively. Of
the approximately 16,000 outstanding claims at December 31, 2011, approximately half were pending
in jurisdictions that have undergone significant tort and judicial reform activities subsequent to the
filing of these claims.

The Company’s policy is to vigorously defend against these lawsuits and the Company has been
successful in obtaining dismissal of many claims without any payment. The Company expects that
the vast majority of the pending asbestos-related product liability claims where it is a defendant (or
has an obligation to indemnify a defendant) will result in no payment being made by the Company or
its insurers. In 2011, of the approximately 1,800 claims resolved, 288 (16%) resulted in any payment
being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company.
In the full year of 2010, of the
approximately 7,700 claims resolved, 245 (3%) resulted in any payment being made to a claimant by
or on behalf of the Company.

Prior to June 2004, the settlement and defense costs associated with all claims were paid by the
Company’s primary layer insurance carriers under a series of funding arrangements. In addition to the
the Company has substantial excess
primary insurance available for asbestos-related claims,
insurance coverage available for potential future asbestos-related product claims. In June 2004,
primary layer insurance carriers notified the Company of the alleged exhaustion of their policy limits.

A declaratory judgment action was filed in January 2004 in the Circuit Court of Cook County,
Illinois by Continental Casualty Company and related companies (“CNA”) against the Company and
certain of its other historical general liability insurers. The court has issued a number of interim rulings
and discovery is continuing. CNA and the Company have entered into a settlement agreement
resolving their coverage disputes, pursuant to which CNA will pay amounts over the next four years to
the Company. The Company is vigorously pursuing the litigation against the remaining insurers.

Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims or the impact of tort
reform legislation that may be enacted at the state or federal levels, due to the encapsulated nature of
the products, the Company’s experience in vigorously defending and resolving claims in the past, and
the Company’s significant insurance coverage with solvent carriers as of the date of this filing,
management does not believe that asbestos-related product liability claims are likely to have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

To date, the Company has paid and accrued $190.9 million in defense and indemnity in advance
of insurers’ reimbursement and has received $81.1 million in cash and notes from insurers, including

90

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

CNA. The net balance of $109.8 million, is expected to be fully recovered, of which approximately $33
million is estimated to be recovered within one year. Timing of recovery is dependent on final
resolution of the declaratory judgment action referred to above or additional negotiated settlements.
At December 31, 2010, insurers owed $120.6 million in association with these claims.

On April 5, 2010, the Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division affirmed a lower court
judgment in an asbestos-related action against the Company and others. The Company filed its
Notice of Petition to the Supreme Court of New Jersey in late April, seeking to appeal the decisions of
the lower courts. On July 8, 2010 the Supreme Court of New Jersey denied the Company’s Notice of
Petition appealing the decision of the lower courts. The total claim of $40.7 million was paid by the
Company in July 2010.

In addition to the $109.8 million net balance relating to past settlements and defense costs, the
Company has estimated a liability of $61.7 million for claims asserted, but not yet resolved and their
related defense costs at December 31, 2011. The Company also has a related asset of $61.7 million
to recognize proceeds from the insurance carriers.
Insurance carrier reimbursement of 100%
expected based on the Company’s experience, its insurance contracts and decisions received to date
in the declaratory judgment action referred to above. At December 31, 2010, the comparable value of
the insurance asset and accrued liability was $50.6 million.

The amounts recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the estimated future

settlement of existing claims are as follows:

The Company cannot reasonably estimate possible losses, if any, in excess of those for which it
has accrued, because it cannot predict how many additional claims may be brought against the
Company (or parties the Company has an obligation to indemnify) in the future, the allegations in such
claims, the possible outcomes, or the impact of tort reform legislation that may be enacted at the
State or Federal levels.

LEASES AND COMMITMENTS

Certain assets are leased under long-term operating leases. These include rent for the corporate
headquarters and one airplane. Most leases contain renewal options for various periods. Leases
generally require the Company to pay for insurance, taxes and maintenance of the leased property.
The Company leases other equipment such as vehicles and certain office equipment under short-term
leases. Total rent expense was $30.7 million, $25.6 million and $28.5 million in the years ended
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company does not have any material capital
leases.

NOTE 16 EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock (“EPS”)
amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc. by the
weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is
calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to BorgWarner Inc. by the weighted average shares of
common stock and common equivalent stock outstanding during the reporting period.

The dilutive impact of stock based compensation is calculated using the treasury stock method.
The treasury stock method assumes that the Company uses the proceeds from the exercise of
awards to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The assumed
proceeds under the treasury stock method include the purchase price that the grantee will pay in the
future, compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized and any
windfall/(shortfall) tax benefits that would be credited/(debited) to capital in excess of par value when
the award generates a tax deduction. Options are only dilutive when the average market price of the
underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.

The potential common shares associated with the Company’s 3.50% convertible senior notes
due April 15, 2012 are reflected in diluted EPS using the “if-converted” method. Under this method, if
dilutive, the common stock is assumed issued as of the beginning of the reporting period and
included in calculating diluted EPS. In addition, if dilutive, interest expense, net of tax, related to the
convertible notes is added back to the numerator in calculating diluted EPS.

Separately and concurrently with the issuance of the Company’s 3.50% convertible senior notes,
the Company entered into a bond hedge overlay, including warrants and options. If the Company’s
weighted-average share price exceeds $38.61 per share,
the warrants will be dilutive to the
Company’s earnings. If the Company’s weighted average share price exceeds $32.82 per share, the
offsetting bond hedge will be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 17 RESTRUCTURING

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company recorded restructuring expenses of $50.3
million, which included $9.0 million relating to employee termination benefits, $36.3 million of asset
impairment charges and $5.0 million related to the North American and European restructuring. The
Company reduced its North American workforce by approximately 550 people, or 12%; its European
workforce by approximately 150 people, or 2%; and its Asian workforce by approximately 60 people,
or 3%. Included in the asset impairment charges was a $22.3 million charge related to one of the
Company’s European locations, which resulted from the Company’s evaluations of the long range
outlook of the location using an undiscounted and discounted cash flow model, both of which
indicated that assets were impaired. In determining the amount of the asset impairment charge, the
Company used a replacement cost technique to determine the fair value of the assets.

BorgWarner Vikas Emissions Systems India Private Limited

On August 2, 2011,

the Company purchased the noncontrolling interest’s 40% share of
BorgWarner Vikas Emissions Systems India Private Limited for $29.4 million in cash, which has been
classified as a financing activity within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In accordance with
ASC Topic 810, the Company reduced its noncontrolling interest balance by $2.8 million and reduced
capital in excess of par value by $26.6 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns
100% of BorgWarner Vikas Emissions Systems India Private Limited.

Traction Systems division of Haldex Group

On January 31, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Haldex Traction Holding AB
(“Haldex Traction Systems”). Haldex Traction Systems has operations in Sweden, Hungary and
Mexico. The consideration for the acquisition, net of cash acquired, was $214.9 million (1.38 billion
Swedish Krona).

The acquisition is expected to accelerate the Company’s growth in the global all-wheel drive
(AWD) market as it continues to shift toward front-wheel drive (FWD) based vehicles. The acquisition

Etatech, Inc. Technology

On June 2, 2009,

the Company announced the purchase of advanced gasoline ignition
technology and related intellectual property from Florida-based Etatech, Inc. The high-frequency
lean burning engines to significantly improve fuel
ignition technology enables high-performing,
economy and reduce emissions compared with conventional combustion technologies. The Company
made a cash payment of $7.5 million in both June 2009 and May 2010 for the purchase of Etatech,
Inc., which has been reflected as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

BERU

The Company acquired approximately 95.6% of

the outstanding shares of BERU

Aktiengesellschaft (“BERU”), headquartered in Ludwigsburg, Germany prior to 2009.

On January 7, 2009, the Company informed BERU of its intention to purchase the remaining
outstanding shares at that time of approximately 4%, using the required German legal process
referred to as a “squeeze-out” to gain 100% ownership. This process included an affirmative vote of
BERU shareholders at its May 20, 2009 annual shareholder meeting. The registration of the “squeeze-
out” was challenged by certain noncontrolling shareholders of BERU with the commercial register in
June 2009. The “squeeze-out” share price passed by the BERU shareholders in May 2009 was
€73.39, an increase of €2.07 from the $71.32 share price included in the 2008 Domination and Profit
Transfer Agreement (“DPTA”). This increase was reflected as an increase to the Company’s total
DPTA obligation.

On September 18, 2009, the noncontrolling shareholders of BERU who had challenged the
“squeeze-out” resolution dropped their complaint. The elimination of all actions against the resolution
allowed BERU to register the “squeeze-out” with the commercial register. The “squeeze-out” became
effective on September 30, 2009, making the Company the only shareholder of BERU. On October 2,
2009, BERU was delisted as a public company in Germany. In October 2009, the Company paid
€22.9 ($33.5) million for
the approximately 311,000 outstanding shares of BERU. Certain
noncontrolling shareholders have challenged the “squeeze out” share price of €73.39. The Company
is awaiting the judge’s ruling regarding the share price from the hearing held on April 1, 2011.

As a result of the tendering of shares, the Company owned 100% of all BERU’s outstanding
shares at December 31, 2009. The tendering of approximately 4% of BERU shares, at a cost of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

$46.6 million, has been reflected as a financing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Additionally, on May 22, 2009, the Company paid the annual perpetual dividend of $1.9 million, which
is also reflected as a financing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

NOTE 19 REPORTING SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION

the product rather than the location of the customer. Also, the Company’s 50% equity investment in
NSK-Warner (see Note 5) of $189.2 million, $180.3 million and $174.0 million at December 31, 2011,

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial

Disclosure

Not applicable.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control
system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within
the company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. However, our disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or
submitted under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is collected, recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to
ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15,
the
Company’s management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of
the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted
an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and
criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as
of December 31, 2011, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on
those criteria. Refer to Item 7 of this report for “Report of Management on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting.”

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the
Company’s consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of internal controls over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2011 as stated in their report included herein.

Changes in Internal Control

There have been no changes in internal controls over the financial reporting that occurred during
