James Verrier, President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder

M y   L a sT sh a rEhO LdEr   LE T T Er

The year 2012 was another strong year for our company in which we achieved record results. 

As always, our performance reflects the dedicated execution of our entire team in the face of 

uncertainty in the global economy. As I begin the next chapter of my life, I am very pleased that 

BorgWarner remains well positioned to continue on its strong growth trajectory that we have 

routinely produced since our company’s formation in 1993. Our successful business strategy  

will continue to be based on three guiding principles: technology leadership, customer and  

geographic diversity, and financial strength and discipline.

a  LO Ok  baCk

I am very proud of what our team accomplished over the years. I have had a gratifying career 

at BorgWarner that started when PT Components-Link Belt was acquired by a BorgWarner 

subsidiary in 1988. Throughout my career at our company, I assumed several rewarding roles in 

sales, business development, operations and general management that ultimately led me to my

BorgWarner’s success has always been underpinned by our dedicated team of employees, who 

thrived within the collaborative, results-driven culture that successive management teams have 

strived to create, maintain and expand. This has allowed our company to prosper through various 

transitions, and it will continue to do so, given our highly qualified pool of managers that develop 

as they progress through the company. I learned many things from my predecessor, John Fiedler, 

whose vision and leadership meant that the company was in a strong position when I became 

CEO. I believe that through the efforts of the entire team, I was able to continue that legacy as we 

refocused the company on better fuel economy, lower emissions and higher performance-oriented 

products. I am sure that James Verrier, our new CEO, will lead the company to future success. 

While I played a part in this process, my success was driven by the entire team, and in particular, 

my partnership with Robin Adams, our current Vice Chairman and Chief Administrative Officer.  

As many of you know, Robin worked alongside me as our Chief Financial Officer until last year.  

Robin’s contributions have been instrumental in making BorgWarner the company it is today.  

Going forward, James and Ron Hundzinski, Robin’s successor as CFO, will be no different. As

BorgWarner’s technology leadership, strong global presence, financial 

discipline and focus on attracting and cultivating talented people have 

been instrumental to our long-term success and will continue to drive 

our business going forward.

The transformation that has occurred over the last several decades 

is remarkable. In 1995, we were a small company with a market 

capitalization of approximately $500 million. BorgWarner more than 

doubled in size under John Fiedler’s successful leadership, amassing 

a market capitalization of over $1 billion by the time I became the new 

CEO. Building on our success, BorgWarner is now a global technology 

leader in powertrain solutions with a market capitalization of nearly  

$9 billion and a bright future as the company continues to lead the 

industry in powertrain technology. 

Over the years, our sales profile has become increasingly diverse.  

The demand for our technology pulls BorgWarner into every major 

market across our entire product portfolio. As a truly global company, 

we partner with every major automotive original equipment manufac-

turer (“OEM”) in the world, in every major region of the world.

vehicles; we have continued to increasingly supply the commercial  

vehicle market in recent years. BorgWarner has either led or has created 

technology waves in the industry from automatic transmissions in  

the 1950s to dual-clutch transmissions and turbochargers today. 

BorgWarner was one of the first auto suppliers to primarily focus on 

fuel economy and emissions improvements, a powertrain trend in 

which our company will continue to play a major role in the future.

The awards and recognition we have received for our technologies, 

customer quality and delivery are a true testament to our industry 

leadership. For example, BorgWarner has received numerous Auto-

motive News PACE (Premier Automotive Suppliers’ Contribution to 

Excellence) awards over the years, which are recognized around the 

world as a symbol of excellence acknowledging automotive suppliers 

for superior innovation, technological advancement and business per-

formance. Since 2005, BorgWarner has won six PACE awards, three 

partnership & collaboration awards and one environmental award. 

The success continues, as three BorgWarner technologies have been 

named finalists for the 2013 PACE awards. We are proud of our record 

and pleased to have our technologies in the final competition once 

again. With these innovations, BorgWarner has become one of the 

most decorated companies in the history of the PACE Awards.

In 2003, less than half of our business was focused outside of North 

America. BorgWarner now generates approximately 75% of sales

outside of North America, which is a testament to our global expansion. 

From a macroeconomic perspective, 2012 was a challenging year. The

innoVAt1onyears

Over the last 10 years Tim Manganello’s leadership has guided BorgWarner to 
unprecedented success. During that time, the company’s sales revenue grew from 
$2.7 billion in 2002 to $7.2 billion in 2012 and our global presence expanded to 57 
locations in 19 countries. Through his commitment to technology BorgWarner  
has achieved significant industry recognition culminating in 6 PACE Awards,  
3 Collaboration Awards and 1 Environmental Award.

The divestiture allows us to focus on expanding the core BERU

•  We continued to reinvest in our business in 2012 as we increased

its demand for leading edge technologies. More specifically, approxi-

our sales to the world’s fastest growing market continue to accelerate.

product portfolio is very much synonymous with these trends. There-

fore, the adoption of such products such as downsized turbocharged 

engines, automatic transmissions, EGR systems and enhanced engine

to smaller engines to improve fuel economy and lower emissions as 

regulations are making these essential technologies for the future. We

CULTURE of BorgWarner

Looking ahead, we believe increased demand for the electrification of 

vehicle systems provides another growth opportunity for our company. 

More specifically, there will be opportunities in both stop-start and 

hybrid technologies, which should employ BorgWarner technology in 

combination with electrification.

Aside from passenger vehicles, opportunities for both on-road and  

off-road commercial vehicles are also important parts of our future. 

These vehicles face the same global challenges of fuel economy 

improvement and emissions reduction that passenger vehicles face. 

Having already established a strong reputation for reliability and  

performance, BorgWarner is at the forefront of innovation for  

applications in this market.

Our innovative offerings and capabilities continue to enhance our mar-

ket position as a leading supplier of highly engineered components and 

systems for powertrain applications worldwide. As James takes over as 

CEO, our senior leadership believes our company’s continued success 

lies in our ability to apply principles from our past accomplishments 

to today’s initiatives. The eight Enterprise Strategies that will guide 

BorgWarner to 2020 therefore remain unchanged:

As I step back from management of BorgWarner, I reflect on our record 

of shareholder value creation with a sense of satisfaction. I am person-

the culture of value creation and focus on future trends remain intact. 

Building on the collaborative efforts of our entire BorgWarner team, I

Technology leadership has been the cornerstone of our company’s

$871 million, $817 million and $779 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010,
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 gasoline and
diesel engines and alternative powertrains. The Engine Group’s products include: turbochargers,
timing devices and chains, emissions systems, 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

4

increasing demand for diesel engines in light vehicles, which typically use turbochargers, and for
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, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company currently supplies light
vehicle turbochargers to many OEMs including BMW, Daimler, Fiat, Ford, General Motors, Hyundai,
PSA, Renault and Volkswagen. The Company also supplies commercial vehicle turbochargers to
Daimler, Deutz, MAN and Navistar 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®, regulated 3-stage turbocharging systems (“R3S”), 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 and its R3S turbocharger system, an
industry first, to BMW for its new high-powered 3.0 liter diesel engine. Also, the Company supplies
VTG turbochargers to Renault’s 1.6 liter R9M diesel engine featured in the Mégane Scénic and to
Great Wall for its 2.0 liter diesel engine. Ford selected BorgWarner’s leading gasoline turbocharger
technology for its new 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engines, the latter of which
launched in the U.S. in the 2012 Explorer and 2012 Edge models and in China in the Ford Mondeo.

The Engine Group’s timing systems products include timing chain, variable cam timing (“VCT”),
crankshaft and camshaft sprockets, tensioners, guides and snubbers, HY-VO® front-wheel drive
(“FWD”) transmission chain and four-wheel drive (“4WD”) chain 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 product technology is its VCT with mid position lock, which allows a
range of camshaft positioning thereby enabling greater control over airflow and the
greater
opportunity to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and improve engine performance 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 drivetrain systems. The
Company’s HY-VO® chain is used to transfer power from the engine to the drivetrain in FWD
transmissions and also in 4WD transfer cases, which distributes power between a vehicle’s front and
rear wheels.

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 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
that control fans to sense and respond to multiple cooling requirements. The Engine Group also

5

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
parasitic horsepower loss. The Company has been awarded the “standard position” (the 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 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 is
expected to enable high-performing, lean burning engines to significantly improve fuel economy and
reduce emissions compared with conventional combustion technologies.

In 2010, 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 Company sold its tire pressure monitoring and spark plug businesses during the fourth
quarter of 2011 and third quarter of 2012, respectively. The sale of these businesses will allow the
Company to continue to focus on expanding BERU Systems’ core products of glow plugs, diesel cold
start systems and other gasoline ignition technologies.

Drivetrain

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, dual clutch transmissions (“DCT”), automated manual transmissions and
continuously variable 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
and steel 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 50%-owned joint venture in Japan, NSK-Warner KK (“NSK-Warner”),
is a leading
producer of friction plates and one-way clutches in Japan and China.

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 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
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 DCT modules for the Chinese market. The joint venture’s operations are located in
Dalian, China and production is scheduled to begin in 2013. The Company owns 66% of the joint
venture.

The Drivetrain Group’s torque management products include rear-wheel drive (“RWD”)/all-wheel
drive (“AWD”) transfer case systems, FWD/AWD coupling systems and cross-axle coupling systems.
The Company’s focus is on developing electronically controlled torque management devices and
systems that will benefit vehicle dynamics, fuel economy and stability.

Transfer cases are installed on RWD based light

trucks, SUVs, 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. There
are many variants of the Company’s transfer case technology in the market today, including Torque
On-Demand (TOD®), chain-driven, gear-driven, 1-speed and 2-speed transfer cases. The Company’s
transfer cases are featured on the Ford F-150 and on the Dodge Ram light-duty and heavy-duty
trucks.

The Company is involved in the AWD market for FWD based vehicles with couplings that use
electronically-controlled clutches to distribute power to the rear wheels instantly as traction is
required. The Company’s latest coupling innovation,
the Centrifugal Electro-Hydraulic (“CEH”)
Actuator, which is utilized to engage the clutches in the coupling, produces outstanding vehicle
stability and traction while promoting better fuel economy with reduced weight. The CEH Actuator is
found in the AWD couplings featured in several current FWD/AWD vehicles including the Audi A3,
Skoda Octavia, Volvo XC60 and VW Golf.

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

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 OEM production
schedules. The Company typically ships its products directly from its plants to the OEMs.

Sales and Marketing

Each of the Company’s businesses 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
customers.

In addition, the sales and marketing employees of our Engine and Drivetrain reporting segments
often work together
the business units. The
development of DualTronic®, the Company’s wet-clutch and control-system technology for a new-
concept automated transmission, is an example of a successful collaboration.

to explore cross-development opportunities for

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

9

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. This function
manages a venture capital fund that was created by the Company as seed money for new innovation
and collaboration across businesses.

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.

Net R&D expenditures as a percentage of net sales were 3.7%, 3.4% and 3.3% in the years
ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company has contracts with several
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.

Intellectual Property

The Company has more than 4,200 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,
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.

10

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.

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, 2012, the Company had a salaried and hourly workforce of approximately
19,100 (as compared with approximately 19,250 at December 31, 2011), of which approximately
5,500 were in the U.S. Approximately 20% 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 2016.

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 remained volatile in 2012. 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
the Consolidated Financial
2013 and beyond. Refer
Statements in Item 8 of this report for information related to the Company’s hedging activities.

to Note 10, “Financial

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.
OEM customers,
faced with intense international competition, have expanded their worldwide
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 have become a permanent feature of
our business environment. To maintain our profit margins, we seek price reductions from our
improve production processes to increase manufacturing efficiency, update product
suppliers,
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

15

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,
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 material increases. The discontinuation of our ability to pass-through or hedge
increasing commodity costs could 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. If these
supply interruptions occur, it could adversely affect our business.

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.

16

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

As of December 31, 2012, approximately 20% 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 2016. 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.

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, product liability, 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

17

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 sales 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 that 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.

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 2012, approximately 74% 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.

Risks related to our customers

We rely on sales to major 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. We base our growth projections, in part,
on commitments made by our customers. These 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 2012 to Volkswagen

and Ford constituted approximately 17% and 13%, respectively, of our 2012 consolidated net sales.

18

We are sensitive to the effects 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
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 other factors 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

19

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.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

The Company has received no written comments regarding its periodic or current reports from
the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that were issued 180 days or more preceding
the end of its 2012 fiscal year that remain unresolved.

(a) Refer to Note 15, “Earnings per Share,” in Item 8 of this report regarding the impact of the
Company’s 3.50% convertible senior notes and associated call options and warrants on the
Company’s earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. For the
year ending December 31, 2009, the impact of the Company’s 3.50% convertible senior notes
and associated warrants were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share
because including them, under the if-converted method, would have increased 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) Refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations,” for discussion of non-comparable items impacting the years ending December 31,
2012, 2011 and 2010. 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 $156.8 million.

A summary of non-comparable items impacting the Company’s net earnings for the years ended

December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

Year ended December 31, 2012:

(cid:129) The Company incurred $39.7 million of expense and $5.7 million of tax expense associated
with the loss on sale of the spark plug business, primarily related to the write-down of prior
purchase price accounting adjustments included within the disposal group. The Company also
recorded restructuring expense of $27.4 million, primarily associated with the disposal and
future requirements of BERU’s on-going business, which was partially offset by a tax benefit of
$7.7 million.

(cid:129) Retirement related obligations of $17.3 million are comprised of a $5.7 million loss resulting
from the settlement of a portion of the Muncie Plant’s pension obligation and an $11.6 million
expense associated with the retirement of certain Named Executive Officers. These obligations
were partially offset by a $6.1 million tax benefit.

(cid:129) The Company incurred $19.8 million of tax expense resulting from other tax adjustments.
These other tax adjustments primarily include tax expense resulting from the settlement of
certain tax audits, the Company’s second quarter 2012 decision to change its cash repatriation
assertion for some of its foreign subsidiaries and a correction of the income taxes payable
balance, partially offset by a tax benefit related to certain countries enacting changes to their
respective statutory income tax rates.

Year ended December 31, 2011:

(cid:129) The Company incurred $21.5 million in expense associated with the loss on sale of the tire
pressure monitoring business, including costs related to the divestiture, and a write-down of a

of tax benefit associated with the disposals and $4.1 million of tax expense related to an
intercompany disposal transaction.

(cid:129) The Company recorded a $29.1 million patent infringement settlement gain, net of legal costs

incurred, which was partially offset by $11.0 million of tax expense.

(cid:129) The Company recorded a $6.2 million benefit related to tax adjustments resulting from 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.

27

Year ended December 31, 2010:

(cid:129) The Company recorded a $28.0 million charge for alleged personal

injury relating to

environmental contamination.

The Company’s effective tax rate, after giving tax effect to the non-comparable items shown
above, was 26.8%, 24.8% and 21.7% for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010,
respectively.

* Estimated data provided by IHS Automotive.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $7,183.2 million, a 1.0% increase from
the year ended December 31, 2011. Excluding the impact of the first quarter 2011 acquisition of
Haldex Traction Holding AB, fourth quarter of 2011 and third quarter of 2012 dispositions and the
impact of weaker foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 6%. This
increase occurred while estimated light vehicle production was up 6% worldwide, primarily driven by
a 17% increase in North America and a 19% increase in Japan, partially offset by a 6% decrease in
Europe from the year ended December 31, 2011.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $7,114.7 million, a 25.9% increase from
the year ended December 31, 2010 and better than the then estimated worldwide market production
increase of 3%. Excluding the impact of strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, the
second quarter 2010 purchase of Dytech Ensa S.L. and the first quarter 2011 purchase of Haldex
Traction AB, net sales increased by approximately 17% during the year ended December 31, 2011.
The above-market growth for the Company was driven by the industry’s focus on fuel economy and
lower emissions.

7.0% 7.7% 6.7%

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 79.6%, 80.2% and 80.7% in the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s material cost of sales was
approximately 50% of net sales in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. 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, 2012
and December 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 as a result of increased net sales and
successful cost reduction actions. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 20.4%, 19.8% and
19.3% in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $629.3 million, $621.0 million and
$566.6 million or 8.8%, 8.7% and 10.0% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011
and 2010, respectively. SG&A remained relatively flat during the year ended December 31, 2012
compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 as a result of increased research and development
(“R&D”) costs included in SG&A, offset by continued cost management. The increase in SG&A for the
year ended December 31, 2011 compared with the year ended December 31, 2010 of $54.4 million
was primarily due to the $58.7 million, or 31.7%, increase in R&D costs. The SG&A decrease as a
percentage of net sales was primarily driven by the significant year over year increase in net sales.

R&D costs, net of customer reimbursements, was $265.9 million, or 3.7% of net sales, in the year
ended December 31, 2012, compared to $243.7 million, or 3.4% of net sales, and $185.0 million, or
3.3% of net sales, in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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.

Other (income) expense was $84.7 million, $(8.1) million and $22.4 million for the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This line item is primarily comprised of transactions
discussed within the subtitle “Non-comparable items impacting the Company’s earnings per diluted
share and net earnings” above.

Equity in affiliates’ earnings, net of tax was $42.8 million, $38.2 million and $39.6 million in the
years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, 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 increase in equity in affiliates’ earnings for the year ended
December 31, 2012 compared with the year ended December 31, 2011 is primarily due to year over
year growth in the Japanese auto market resulting in improved earnings from the Company’s interest
in NSK-Warner. 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. 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 $39.4 million, $74.6 million and $68.8 million in the
years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in interest expense for
the year ended December 31, 2012 compared with the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily
due to the April 2012 settlement of the Company’s convertible senior notes, the ineffectiveness of
cross-currency swaps and higher capitalized interest associated with increased long-term capital
projects. The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with the
year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to higher debt levels.

Provision for income taxes The provision for income taxes resulted in an effective tax rate of
31.4% for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with rates of 25.5% and 17.1% for the
years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes a net
tax benefit of $2.0 million associated with the loss from disposal activities and restructuring expense.
The $2.0 million net benefit is comprised of a tax benefit of $7.7 million associated with restructuring
expense, partially offset by tax expense of $5.7 million resulting from the sale of the spark plug
business. Additionally, the provision includes a tax benefit of $6.1 million related to retirement related
obligations and additional tax expense of $19.8 million resulting from other tax adjustments. These
other tax adjustments include $5.9 million of tax expense primarily resulting from the settlement of
certain tax audits, $7.5 million of tax expense associated with the Company’s second quarter 2012
decision to change its cash repatriation assertion for some of its foreign subsidiaries, $4.7 million of
tax benefit related to certain countries enacting changes to their respective statutory income tax rates
and $11.1 million of U.S. tax expense to correct the income taxes payable balance. Excluding the
impact of these non-comparable items, the Company’s annual effective tax rate associated with
ongoing operations for 2012 was 26.8%.

In January 2013, the United States Congress passed an extension of the federal research and
development tax credit and other international tax provisions through December 31, 2013. As a result,
we expect that our tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 will include a discrete tax
benefit which will reduce our effective tax rate for the quarter and, to a lesser extent, the full year.

The effective tax rate of 25.5% for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes $11.0 million of
tax expense associated with the Company’s patent infringement settlement, $2.7 million of tax
expense associated with the loss on disposals 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. 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 these non-comparable items, the Company’s annual
effective tax rate associated with ongoing operations for 2011 was 24.8%.

30

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
impact of the items mentioned above, the Company’s annual effective tax rate associated with
ongoing business operations was 21.7%.

Net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest, net of tax of $21.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2012 increased by $1.0 million and $2.7 million compared to 2012 for the years
ended December 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. The increases during the years ended
December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 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
its business initiatives. ROIC is comprised of Adjusted EBIT after
invested capital
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 ongoing operating income or loss.

Adjusted EBIT is the measure of segment income 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 show segment information and Adjusted EBIT for the Company’s reporting

segments.

The Engine segment’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased $137.6
million, or 2.7%, and segment Adjusted EBIT increased $12.1 million, or 1.6%, from the year ended
December 31, 2011. Excluding the impact of the fourth quarter 2011 and third quarter 2012
dispositions and weaker foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 4%
from the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase was primarily driven by global growth in most
major product groups. The segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 16.0% for
the year ended
December 31, 2012, up from 15.3% in the year ended December 31, 2011. The Adjusted EBIT margin
increase was primarily driven by continued cost management.

The Engine segment’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $989.8 million,
or 24.4%, and segment Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBIT margin increases were
primarily driven by strong global growth in all major product groups and continued cost management.

The Drivetrain segment’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased $214.2
million, or 10.3%, and segment Adjusted EBIT increased $47.9 million, or 29.7%, from the year ended
December 31, 2011. Excluding the acquisition of Haldex Traction AB and the impact of weaker
foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 13% from the year ended
December 31, 2011. This increase was primarily driven by strong global growth in all major product
groups. The segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 9.1% in the year ended December 31, 2012, up from
7.7% in the year ended December 31, 2011. The Adjusted EBIT margin increase was primarily driven
by strong global growth in all major product groups, operational improvements and continued cost
management.

32

The Drivetrain segment’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $473.1
million, or 29.4%, and segment Adjusted EBIT increased $24.2 million, or 17.7%, 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 Adjusted 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.

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 $115.4 million, $107.4 million and $111.0 million for the years ended December 31,
2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Outlook

Based on weakening global economic conditions, particularly in Europe, our overall outlook for
2013 is cautious. The Company expects global production volumes to be slightly higher in 2013
compared with 2012. In Europe, our largest market, we expect production volumes to decline in 2013
compared with 2012. However, we expect that higher adoption rates of BorgWarner products around
the world will result in sales growth for the Company in 2013.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company maintains various liquidity sources including cash and cash equivalents and the
the
unused portion of our multi-currency revolving credit agreement. At December 31, 2012,
Company had $715.7 million of cash, including $712.1 million of cash held by our subsidiaries outside
of the United States. Cash held by these subsidiaries is used to fund foreign operational activities and
future investments, including acquisitions. The vast majority of cash held outside the United States is
available for repatriation, however, doing so could result in increased foreign and U.S. federal, state
and local
income taxes. A deferred tax liability has been recorded for the portion of these funds
anticipated to be repatriated to the United States.

The Company’s $650 million multi-currency revolving credit facility, which includes a feature that
allows the Company’s borrowings to be increased to $1 billion, provides for borrowings through
June 30, 2016 and is guaranteed by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries. The 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, 2012 and
expects to remain compliant in future periods. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had
outstanding borrowings of $140.0 million and $70.0 million, respectively, under this facility.

33

On April 9, 2009, the Company issued $373.8 million in convertible senior notes, which were
settled in April 2012 by delivering approximately 11.4 million shares of common stock held in treasury
to the note holders. The settlement resulted in a reduction in the current portion of long-term debt of
$373.8 million, a reduction in common stock held in treasury of $617.3 million and a reduction in
capital in excess of par value of $243.5 million.

In conjunction with the convertible senior note offering, the Company entered into a bond hedge
overlay, including both call options and warrants, at a net pre-tax cost of $25.2 million, effectively
raising the conversion premium to 50%, or approximately $38.61 per share. On April 16, 2012, the
Company settled the call option portion of
receiving approximately
6.5 million shares of its common stock. The settlement resulted in an increase to common stock held
in treasury of $503.9 million offset by an increase to capital in excess of par value of $503.9 million.

the bond hedge overlay,

During the third and fourth quarters of 2012, the Company settled the warrants included in the
bond hedge overlay, delivering approximately 4.9 million shares of its common stock held in treasury,
resulting in a reduction in common stock held in treasury of $338.5 million offset by a reduction to
capital in excess of par value of $338.5 million.

In addition to the credit facility, the Company’s universal shelf registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission has an unlimited amount of various debt and equity instruments that could be
issued.

From a credit quality perspective, the Company has a credit rating of Baa2 from Moody’s. In April
2012, the Company’s credit rating was raised to BBB+ from BBB by both Standard & Poor’s and
Fitch Ratings. The current outlook from Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings is stable. None
of the Company’s debt agreements require accelerated repayment in the event of a downgrade in
credit ratings.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $878.7 million, $708.2 million and $538.9 million in
the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase for the year ended
December 31, 2012 compared with the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily reflects improved
working capital management. The increase in the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the
year ended December 31, 2010 primarily reflects higher earnings.

Net cash used in investing activities was $345.2 million, $564.5 million and $429.5 million in the
years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in the year ended
December 31, 2012 compared with the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily reflects the cash
payment of $203.7 million made during the first quarter of 2011 for the acquisition of Haldex Traction
AB and the cash proceeds of $55.2 million received during the third quarter of 2012 from the sale of
the spark plug business, which was partially offset by increased capital expenditures. The increase in
cash used in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2010 was primarily due to increased capital spending and higher payments for
businesses acquired, net of cash acquired. Year over year capital spending increases of $13.7 million
and $117.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively,
were primarily due to higher spending levels required to meet increased program launches worldwide.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $188.6 million, $219.7 million and $13.2 million for the
years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The $31.1 million decrease in the year
ended December 31, 2012 compared with the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily driven by
decreased purchases of
treasury stock partially offset by an increase in dividends paid to
noncontrolling stockholders.

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.

(b) Since the timing and amount of payments for funded defined benefit pension plans are usually
not certain for future years such potential payments are not shown in this table. Amount
contained in “After 2017” column is for unfunded plans and includes estimated payments through
2022. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures related to the

(c) Projection is based upon actual fixed rates where appropriate, and a projected floating rate for
the variable rate portion of the total debt portfolio. The floating rate projection is based upon
current market conditions and rounded to the nearest 50th basis point (0.50%), which is 4.0% for
this purpose. Projection is also based upon debt being redeemed upon maturity.

(d) See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures related to the Company’s

income taxes.

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 non-cancelable operating lease obligations at December 31,
2012 is $68.7 million. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on
operating leases, including future minimum payments.

Pension and Other Postretirement 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,
2012, all legal funding requirements had been met. The Company contributed $18.0 million, $37.0
million and $25.1 million to its defined benefit pension plans in the years ended December 31, 2012,
2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company expects to contribute a total of $15 million to $25 million
into its defined benefit pension plans during 2013. Of the $15 million to $25 million in projected 2013
contributions, $7.1 million are contractual obligations, while the remaining payments are discretionary.

36

The funded status of all pension plans was a net unfunded position of $317.1 million and $236.4
million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $192.4 million and $128.7
million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 postretirement benefits primarily consist of postretirement 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 postretirement benefits had an unfunded status of $220.5 million
and $251.0 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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
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 did 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,

37

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. 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. A decision on the merits of the suit could be rendered sometime in 2013.

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 32 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; and remediation alternatives), the Company has an
accrual for indicated environmental
liabilities of $3.9 million at December 31, 2012. 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,
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.

in July 2010 regarding the personal

injury claims of

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

38

encapsulation and the manner of use lead the Company to believe that these products are highly
unlikely to cause harm. As of both December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had
approximately 16,000 pending asbestos-related product
the
approximately 16,000 outstanding claims at December 31, 2012, approximately half were pending in
jurisdictions that have undergone significant tort and judicial reform activities subsequent to the filing
of these claims.

respectively. Of

liability 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 2012, of the approximately 2,400 claims resolved, 308 (13%) resulted in payment being
made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In the full year of 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.

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 against the Company and certain of
its historical general liability insurers. The court has issued a number of interim rulings and discovery
is continuing. The Company has entered into settlement agreements with some of its insurance
carriers, resolving their coverage disputes by agreeing to pay specified amounts to the Company. The
Company is vigorously pursuing the litigation against the remaining insurers.

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.

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 $235.8 million in defense and indemnity in advance
of insurers’ reimbursement and has received $124.8 million in cash and notes from insurers. The net
balance of $111.0 million, is expected to be fully recovered, of which approximately $20 million is
expected 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,
2011, insurers owed $109.8 million in association with these claims.

In addition to the $111.0 million net balance relating to past settlements and defense costs, the
Company has estimated a liability of $85.6 million for claims asserted, but not yet resolved and their
related defense costs at December 31, 2012. The Company also has a related asset of $85.6 million

39

to recognize proceeds from the insurance carriers, which is expected to be fully recovered. Receipt of
these proceeds is not expected prior to the resolution of the declaratory judgment action referred to
above, which, more-likely-than-not, will occur subsequent to December 31, 2013. At December 31,
2011, the comparable value of the accrued liability and associated insurance asset was $61.7 million.

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

settlement of existing claims are as follows:

The 2012 increase in the accrued liability and associated insurance asset is primarily due to an

expected higher rate of claim settlement based on recent litigation claim activity.

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.

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.

40

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
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
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 valuation of the asset.

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets During the fourth quarter of each year,
the Company qualitatively assesses its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets assigned to
each of its reporting units. This qualitative assessment evaluates 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. Using this qualitative assessment,
the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than not the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its
carrying value. If it is determined that it is not more-likely-than-not the reporting unit’s fair value
exceeds the carrying value, or upon a triggering event, including recent acquisition or divestiture
activity, the Company performs a quantitative, “step one,” goodwill impairment analysis.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company performed a qualitative analysis on each
reporting unit and determined it was more-likely-than-not the fair value exceeded the carrying value of
these reporting units. For the reporting unit with recent 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.

41

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, 2012 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 the reporting unit being evaluated.

In addition to the above primary assumptions, the Company notes the following risks 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 2012 indicated the Company’s goodwill assigned to the reporting unit that was 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 the reporting unit 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
continued to decrease in conjunction with Company’s improved quality efforts and has trended as
follows:

At December 31, 2012, the total accrued warranty liability was $64.9 million. The accrual
is
represented as $33.1 million in current liabilities and $31.8 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. 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. Management’s estimate of the loss for environmental liability was $3.9 million at December 31,
2012.

See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding

environmental accrual.

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

The Company’s defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans are accounted for in
accordance with ASC Topic 715. The determination of the Company’s obligation and expense for its
pension and other postretirement 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.

In accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from assumptions used are accumulated and
future periods. The primary assumptions affecting the Company’s
generally amortized over
accounting for employee benefits under ASC Topics 712 and 715 as of December 31, 2012 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, 2012, the Company used long-term rates of return on plan
assets ranging from 1.75% to 6.75% outside of the U.S. and 6.75% in the U.S.

Actual returns on U.S. pension assets were 11.0%, 3.7% and 14.6% for the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, compared to the expected rate of return
assumption of 6.75% for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 7.50% for the years ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Actual returns on U.K. pension assets were 10.0%, 3.3% and 13.3% for the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, compared to the expected rate of return
assumption of 6.75% for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 7.50% for the years ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 6.75% to determine its pension and other benefit obligations as of December 31, 2012,
including weighted average discount rates of 3.67% in the U.S., 3.86% outside of the U.S., and
3.25% for U.S. other postretirement 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, 2012, the
Company used health care cost trend rates of 7.50%, 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.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a change in certain assumptions for Company

sponsored U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans on its 2013 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.

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, 2012, 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 November 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended ASC Topic
220, “Comprehensive Income,” requiring companies to disclose the income statement line items
impacted by the reclassification of comprehensive income (loss) into net earnings. This guidance is
effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The
Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its Consolidated
Financial Statements.

In December 2011, the 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 its 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, 2012, the amount of debt with fixed interest rates was 43.5% 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 $1.6 million, $1.8 million and
$1.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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 Chinese Yuan, the Euro, the Hungarian Forint, the Japanese Yen, the

46

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 $258.3 million and $280.4 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011,
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, 2012,
the Company was holding foreign exchange derivatives with positive and negative fair market values
of $5.9 million and $9.8 million, respectively, of which $5.2 million in gains and $9.8 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, 2012, the Company had no forward and option commodity contracts outstanding.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of BorgWarner Inc.

financial

in all material

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present
fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of BorgWarner Inc. and its subsidiaries at
December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company
maintained,
reporting as of
respects, effective internal control over
December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued
the Treadway Commission (COSO). The
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
for maintaining effective
Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements,
internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
appearing under Item 9A. 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 automotive systems and components primarily for powertrain applications. Our
products help 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.

Basis of presentation The Company retrospectively adopted the amendment to Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” which requires companies to
separately disclose reclassifications from other comprehensive income into net income on the face of
the financial statements. Prior year balances within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive
Income conform to this requirement.

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
inter-company accounts and transactions have
subsidiaries with a controlling financial interest. All
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.

56

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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.

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 and continues to administer the collection of these receivables on behalf
of the third party. The amount can vary each month based on the amount of underlying receivables.
On December 21, 2009, the Company entered into a $50 million accounts receivable securitization
facility, which was amended on September 8, 2010 to increase the facility to $80 million and then
again on November 1, 2012 to increase the facility to $110 million. The amended facility matures on
October 31, 2014.

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 $102.1 million and
$100.6 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Such inventories, if valued at current
cost instead of LIFO, would have been greater by $16.0 million and $15.3 million at December 31,
2012 and 2011, 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

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.

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets During the fourth quarter of each year,
the Company qualitatively assesses its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets assigned to
each of its reporting units. This qualitative assessment evaluates 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. Using this qualitative assessment,
the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than not the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its
carrying value. If it is determined that it is not more-likely-than-not the reporting unit’s fair value
exceeds the carrying value, or upon a triggering event, including recent acquisition or divestiture
activity, the Company performs a quantitative, “step one,” goodwill impairment analysis.

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

58

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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.

See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on accumulated other

comprehensive income (loss).

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 13 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 postretirement 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.

59

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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 November 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended ASC Topic
220, “Comprehensive Income,” requiring companies to disclose the income statement line items
impacted by the reclassification of comprehensive income (loss) into net earnings. This guidance is
effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The
Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its Consolidated
Financial Statements.

In December 2011, the 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 its 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:

During the second and third quarters of 2012, the Company incurred $39.7 million in expense
associated with the loss on sale of the spark plug business, primarily related to the to write-down of
prior purchase price accounting adjustments included within the disposal group. These purchase
price accounting adjustments were originally reported in the Engine segment and related to the BERU
acquisition. The Company also recorded restructuring expense of $27.4 million in the third quarter of
2012 primarily associated with the disposal and future requirements of BERU’s on-going business,
which included $9.0 million of employee termination benefits, $6.3 million of contract cancellation
costs and $12.1 million of other charges, primarily related to the write-down of certain assets. The
Company expects to pay all employee termination benefits in the next 12 months.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded retirement related obligations of $17.3
million comprised of a $5.7 million loss resulting from the settlement of a portion of the Muncie Plant’s
pension obligation and an $11.6 million expense associated with the retirement of certain Named
Executive Officers. Refer to Notes 11 and 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information regarding the Muncie Plant’s settlement loss and the Company’s decision to waive the
forfeiture provisions of existing restricted stock and performance share grants made to certain retiring
Named Executive Officers.

On May 16, 2011, BorgWarner and Honeywell settled a lawsuit resolving BorgWarner’s patent
infringement claims. As a result of the settlement, Honeywell paid $32.5 million for a paid up license to
use the asserted BorgWarner patents. During 2011, the Company incurred $3.4 million in legal costs
related to this lawsuit and after deducting these costs, the Company recorded a net gain of $29.1
million.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes a net
tax benefit of $2.0 million associated with the loss from disposal activities and restructuring expense.
The $2.0 million net benefit is comprised of a tax benefit of $7.7 million associated with restructuring
expense, partially offset by tax expense of $5.7 million resulting from the sale of the spark plug
business. The provision also includes additional tax expense of $19.8 million resulting from other tax
adjustments. These other tax adjustments include $5.9 million of tax expense primarily resulting from

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

the settlement of certain tax audits, $7.5 million of tax expense associated with the Company’s
second quarter 2012 decision to change its cash repatriation assertion for some of its foreign
subsidiaries, $4.7 million of
tax benefit related to certain countries enacting changes to their
respective statutory income tax rates and $11.1 million of U.S. tax expense to correct the income
taxes payable balance. The Company concluded this item was not material to the current or prior
period financial statements.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes $11.0
million of tax expense associated with the Company’s patent infringement settlement, $2.7 million of
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 these changes had a material impact on the Company’s effective
tax rate.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes a
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
environmental litigation settlement.

A roll forward of the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended
is presented below. Of the total $25.8 million of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively,
unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012, approximately $23.4 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
benefits included therein.

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

jurisdictions.

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

At December 31, 2012, certain non-U.S. subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards
totaling $42.4 million available to offset future taxable income. Of the total $42.4 million, $35.4 million
expire at various dates from 2013 through 2032 and the remaining $7.0 million have no expiration
date. The Company has a valuation allowance of $0.7 million recorded on $2.5 million of non-U.S net
operating loss carryforwards. Certain U.S. subsidiaries have state net operating loss carryforwards
totaling $490.7 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 $26.7 million and $21.8 million in 2012 and 2011,
respectively. Most existing tax holidays remain in effect during 2013. The U.S. has foreign tax credit
carryforwards of $146.1 million, which expire at various dates from 2015 through 2020.

The Company is not required to provide U.S. federal or state income taxes on cumulative
undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries when such earnings are considered permanently
reinvested. At December 31, 2011, the Company considered most of its foreign unremitted earnings
to be permanently reinvested. The Company’s policy is to evaluate this assertion on a quarterly basis.
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company changed the assertion for some of its foreign
subsidiaries to provide management additional financial flexibility.

At December 31, 2012, the Company’s deferred tax liability associated with unremitted foreign
earnings was $13.4 million, which includes the $7.5 million of tax expense associated with the second
quarter 2012 decision to change its cash repatriation assertion for some of its foreign subsidiaries and
$5.9 million of tax expense associated with unremitted foreign earnings during the current year.

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
$2.1 billion in 2012, as these amounts are essentially permanent in nature. The difference will become
taxable upon repatriation of assets, sale or liquidation of the investment. Due to fluctuation in tax laws
around the world and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, it is not practicable to determine the
unrecognized deferred tax liability on this difference because the actual tax liability,
is
dependent on circumstances existing when the repatriation occurs.

NOTE 6 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

During the fourth quarter of each year, the Company qualitatively assesses its goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets assigned to each of its reporting units. This qualitative assessment
evaluates 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. Using this qualitative assessment, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-
than not the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying value. If it is determined that it is not more-
likely-than-not the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds the carrying value, or upon a triggering event,
including recent acquisition or divestiture activity, the Company performs a quantitative, “step one,”
goodwill impairment analysis.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company performed a qualitative analysis on each
reporting unit and determined it was more-likely-than-not the fair value exceeded the carrying value of
these reporting units. For the reporting unit with recent 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, 2012 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 the reporting unit being evaluated.

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

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

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

The automotive industry is cyclical and the Company’s results of operations would be
adversely affected by industry downturns.

The Company is dependent on market segments that use our key products and would be
affected by decreasing demand in those segments.

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 2012 indicated the Company’s goodwill assigned to the reporting unit 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 the reporting unit quantitatively assessed.

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

to restrict future operations.

The Company’s $650 million multi-currency revolving credit facility, which includes a feature that
allows the Company’s borrowings to be increased to $1 billion, provides for borrowings through
June 30, 2016 and is guaranteed by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries. The 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, 2012 and
expects to remain compliant in future periods. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had
outstanding borrowings of $140.0 million and $70.0 million, respectively, under this facility.

On April 9, 2009, the Company issued $373.8 million in convertible senior notes, which were
settled in April 2012 by delivering approximately 11.4 million shares of common stock held in treasury
to the note holders. The settlement resulted in a reduction in the current portion of long-term debt of
$373.8 million, a reduction in common stock held in treasury of $617.3 million and a reduction in
capital in excess of par value of $243.5 million. Prior to the settlement, the Company accreted the
discounted carrying value of the convertible notes to their face value over the term of the notes.

The total interest expense related to the convertible senior notes in the Company’s Consolidated

Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

In conjunction with the convertible senior note offering, the Company entered into a bond hedge

raising the conversion premium to 50%, or approximately $38.61 per share. On April 16, 2012, the
Company settled the call option portion of
receiving approximately
6.5 million shares of its common stock. The settlement resulted in an increase to common stock held
in treasury of $503.9 million offset by an increase to capital in excess of par value of $503.9 million.

During the third and fourth quarters of 2012, the Company settled the warrants included in the

resulting in a decrease to common stock held in treasury of $338.5 million offset by a decrease to
capital in excess of par value of $338.5 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the estimated fair values of the Company’s senior unsecured
notes totaled $770.3 million and $1,454.4 million, respectively. The estimated fair values were $119.5
million and $435.5 million higher than their carrying value at December 31, 2012 and 2011,
respectively. Fair market values of the senior unsecured notes are developed using observable values
for similar debt instruments, which are considered Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC Topic 820. The
carrying value of the Company’s multi-currency revolving credit facility is equal to its fair value. 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 $59.1 million and $58.5 million at December 31,
2012 and 2011, 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 for identical assets or liabilities 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

information generated by market
transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or
liabilities, such as a business.

relevant

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, 2012 and 2011, 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 certain commodity derivative contracts to protect against commodity price
changes related to forecasted raw material and supplies purchases. The Company primarily utilizes
forward and option contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company did not have
any commodity derivative contracts outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to protect against exchange
rate movements for forecasted cash flows,
including capital expenditures, 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. At December 31, 2012
and 2011, the following foreign currency derivative contracts were outstanding:

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, gains and losses arising from these contracts are deferred into accumulated other
(“AOCI”) and reclassified into income as the underlying operating
comprehensive income (loss)
transactions are recognized. These realized gains or losses offset the hedged transaction and are
recorded on the same line in the statement of operations. To the extent that derivative instruments are
deemed to be ineffective, gains or losses are recognized into income.

The table below shows deferred gains (losses) reported in AOCI as well as the amount expected
to be reclassified to income in one year or less. The amount expected to be reclassified to income in
one year or less assumes no change in the current relationship of the hedged item at December 31,
2012 market rates.

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
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 $24.8 million, $18.9 million and $19.2 million in the years
ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company has a number of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement 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 France,
Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Monaco, South Korea, Sweden, U.K. and U.S. The other
postretirement benefit plans, which provide medical and life insurance benefits, are unfunded plans.
All pension and other postretirement 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.
The Plant Shutdown Agreement included terms allowing for lump sum payment of the pension
obligation for certain participants if funding of the plan exceeded a defined level. In accordance with
these terms, in December 2012, the Company settled a portion of the pension obligation resulting in a
non-cash loss of $5.7 million, which was recorded in other (income) expense within the Consolidated
Statement of Operations.

On March 24, 2010, the Company finalized its settlement agreement regarding the closure of the
Muncie Plant with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) in which the Company agreed
to make certain payments directly to the Muncie Plant’s defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”). In
accordance with the settlement agreement, the Company made an initial cash contribution of $23
million for the 2009 Plan year and a cash contribution of $15 million in the year ended December 31,
2011. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company received notification from the PBGC that the
terms of the settlement have been suspended pending review of the Company’s financial strength
under the PBGC’s revised enforcement policy pilot program announced on November 2, 2012. The
evaluation was confirmed in January 2013 and as a result the Company currently does not have any
obligations as described in the original agreement.

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

defined benefit pension plans and the other postretirement 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, 2012 and 2011. A portion of pension assets are
invested in common and comingled trusts.

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 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.

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 vested over periods up to three years and have a term of 10 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 1.9 million shares are available for future issuance.

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 vests 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 2012, restricted stock in the amount of 328,138 and 9,677 shares was granted
to employees and non-employee directors, respectively, 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 recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations

Performance Share Plans The 2004 Stock Incentive Plan provides for awarding of performance
shares to members of senior management at the end of successive three-year periods based on the
Company’s performance in terms of total shareholder return relative to a peer group of automotive
companies. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company modified all outstanding Performance Share
Award Agreements to allow for the payment of these awards entirely in the Company’s common
stock, rather than 40% in cash and 60% in the Company’s common stock. Using the lattice model
(Monte Carlo simulation) at the date of modification, the Company determined the first quarter 2012
compensation expense associated with the modification to be negligible. Within the Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s
$19.6 million and $16.6 million of expense associated with the 40% cash portion of the award was
included in the changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other non-current assets and
liabilities line items.

The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to its performance share plans ratably
over the performance period. Prior to the modification, compensation expense for the 60% stock
component was based on the performance share’s fair value at the date of grant using a lattice model
(Monte Carlo simulation) and the 40% cash component was based on quarterly mark to market of the
cash liability on a quarterly basis. After the first quarter 2012 modification, 100% of compensation
expense associated with the performance share plans is calculated using a lattice model (Monte Carlo
simulation). The amounts expensed under the plan and the share issuances for the three-year
measurement periods ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

The restricted stock and performance share plan compensation expense disclosed above
includes $7.0 million of expense related to the Company’s fourth quarter 2012 decision to waive the
forfeiture provisions of existing restricted stock and performance share grants made to certain retiring
Named Executive Officers. The Company recorded this expense within other (income) expense in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations.

NOTE 13 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.

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 did 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. 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. A decision on the merits of the suit could be rendered sometime in 2013.

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

88

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

presently be liable for
remedial activities at 32 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; and remediation alternatives), the Company has an
accrual for indicated environmental
liabilities of $3.9 million at December 31, 2012. 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,
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.

in July 2010 regarding the personal

injury claims of

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 both December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had
the
approximately 16,000 pending asbestos-related product

jurisdictions that have undergone significant tort and judicial reform activities subsequent to the filing
of these claims.

respectively. Of

liability 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

89

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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 2012, of the approximately 2,400 claims resolved, 308 (13%) resulted in payment being
made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In the full year of 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.

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 against the Company and certain of
its historical general liability insurers. The court has issued a number of interim rulings and discovery
is continuing. The Company has entered into settlement agreements with some of its insurance
carriers, resolving their coverage disputes by agreeing to pay specified amounts to the Company. The
Company is vigorously pursuing the litigation against the remaining insurers.

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.

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 $235.8 million in defense and indemnity in advance
of insurers’ reimbursement and has received $124.8 million in cash and notes from insurers. The net
balance of $111.0 million, is expected to be fully recovered, of which approximately $20 million is
expected 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,
2011, insurers owed $109.8 million in association with these claims.

In addition to the $111.0 million net balance relating to past settlements and defense costs, the
Company has estimated a liability of $85.6 million for claims asserted, but not yet resolved and their
related defense costs at December 31, 2012. The Company also has a related asset of $85.6 million
to recognize proceeds from the insurance carriers, which is expected to be fully recovered. Receipt of
these proceeds is not expected prior to the resolution of the declaratory judgment action referred to
above, which, more-likely-than-not, will occur subsequent to December 31, 2013. At December 31,
2011, the comparable value of the accrued liability and associated insurance asset was $61.7 million.

The 2012 increase in the accrued liability and associated insurance asset is primarily due to an

expected higher rate of claim settlement based on recent litigation claim activity.

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.

NOTE 14 LEASES AND COMMITMENTS

Certain assets are leased under long-term operating leases, including 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 $31.3 million, $30.7 million and $25.6 million in the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company does not have any material capital
leases.

On September 30, 2010, the Company paid $6.0 million for certain machinery and equipment it
had previously leased, which was recorded as a capital expenditure within the investing activities
section of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31,
2010.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

NOTE 15 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 assumed 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.

In April 2012, the Company settled its 3.50% convertible senior notes. Prior to the settlement, the
potential common shares associated with these notes were reflected in diluted EPS using the “if-
converted” method. Under this method, if dilutive, the common shares were 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 senior notes was added back to the numerator
in calculating diluted EPS.

In conjunction with the convertible senior note offering, the Company entered into a bond hedge
overlay, including both call options and warrants. On April 16, 2012, the Company settled the call
option portion of the bond hedge overlay, receiving approximately 6.5 million shares, which reduced
the weighted average basic and dilutive shares outstanding. Prior to the settlement, if the Company’s
weighted average share price exceeded $32.82 per share, the call options were anti-dilutive. During
the third and fourth quarters of 2012, the Company settled the warrant portion of the bond hedge
overlay, delivering approximately 4.9 million shares. Prior to settlement, if the Company’s weighted-
average share price exceeded $38.61 per share, the warrants were dilutive to the Company’s
earnings.

BERU

In 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of BERU Aktiengesellschaft’s (“BERU”)
outstanding shares through a German legal process referred to as a “squeeze out,” which required
the Company to pay €73.39 per share to the non-controlling shareholders. Certain non-controlling
shareholders had challenged the “squeeze out” share price of €73.39 . In November 2012, the court
ruled confirming the adequacy of the share price of €73.39, therefore the Company would not be
required to pay any additional amount to the “squeezed-out” shareholders. However, the non-
controlling shareholders have appealed the ruling and no date has been set by the court to rule on the
appeal.

In addition, certain non-controlling shareholders had challenged the 2008 Domination and Profit
Sharing Agreement (“DPTA”).
In the same ruling on the “squeeze out,” the court ruled on the
adequacy of the guaranteed dividend calculated in the DPTA. The ruling increased the guaranteed
divided by a negligible amount. The non-controlling shareholders and the Company have appealed
this ruling and no date has yet been set by the court to rule on the appeals.

(a) The Company’s results were impacted by the following:

(cid:129) Quarter ended December 31, 2012: Retirement

related obligations of $17.3 million are
comprised of a $5.7 million loss resulting from the settlement of a portion of the Muncie Plant’s
pension obligation and an $11.6 million expense associated with the retirement of certain Named
Executive Officers. These obligations were partially offset by a $6.1 million tax benefit. The
Company incurred tax expense of $3.9 million which included $11.1 million of U.S. tax expense to
correct the income taxes payable balance, partially offset by tax benefits resulting from changes
to the statutory income tax rate in certain countries and the settlement of certain tax audits.

(cid:129) Quarter ended September 30, 2012: The Company incurred $1.8 million of expense and $11.2
million of tax expense associated with the completion of the sale of its spark plug business. The
Company also recorded restructuring expense of $27.4 million primarily associated with the
disposal and future requirements of BERU’s on-going business, which was partially offset by a tax
benefit of $7.7 million. Additionally, the Company incurred tax expense of $6.9 million primarily
resulting from the settlement of certain tax audits.

99

(cid:129) Quarter ended June 30, 2012: The Company recorded expense of $37.9 million primarily
due to the write-down of prior purchase price accounting adjustments included within the
disposal group as a result of signing a Master Purchase Agreement to sell the spark plug
business to Federal-Mogul Corporation, which was partially offset by a tax benefit of $5.5
million resulting from the write-down. Additionally, the Company recorded tax expense of
$9.0 million related to its decision to change its cash repatriation assertion for some of its
foreign subsidiaries.

(cid:129) Quarter ended December 31, 2011: The Company incurred $21.5 million in expense
associated with the loss on sale of the tire pressure monitoring business, including costs
related to the divestiture, and a write-down of a portion of the ignitor and electronic
business. The Company recorded $1.4 million of tax benefit associated with the disposals
and $4.1 million of tax expense related to an intercompany disposal transaction.

(cid:129) Quarter ended June 30, 2011: The Company recorded a $29.1 million patent infringement
settlement gain, net of legal costs incurred, which was partially offset by $11.0 million of
additional tax expense. Additionally, the Company recorded $6.2 million related to tax
adjustments resulting from 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.

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, 2012, 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, 2012 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
the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect
our internal controls over financial reporting.
