BORGWARNER INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

(1)      Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of BorgWarner Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and accompanying notes, as well as, the amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the periods covered by those financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(2) Research and Development Expenditures

The Company's net Research & Development ("R&D") expenditures are included in selling, general and administrative expenses of the Condensed 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.

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

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded an $11.3 million expense related to a program termination agreement, which was paid in the second and third quarters of 2013.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company waived the forfeiture provision associated with future restricted stock grants made to certain retiring Named Executive Officers. The Company recorded a $5.9 million retirement related obligation primarily related to a first quarter 2013 grant of restricted stock awards to these Named Executive Officers.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company signed a Master Purchase Agreement to sell its spark plug business to Federal-Mogul Corporation. As a result, the Company recorded expense of $39.7 million primarily to write-down prior purchase price accounting adjustments included within the disposal group. These purchase price accounting adjustments were originally recorded 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 $16.9 million of employee termination benefits and $10.5 million of other charges, primarily related to the write-down of certain assets.

(4) Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes is based upon an estimated annual tax rate for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. On a quarterly basis, the annual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter.

At September 30, 2013, the Company estimates its U.S. GAAP effective tax rate to be approximately 26% for the year ending December 31, 2013, which includes tax benefits of $3.8 million and $2.1 million related to the program termination agreement and retirement related obligations discussed in the Other (Income) Expense footnote. This rate also includes a net tax benefit of $7.3 million, which is comprised of tax benefits of $6.6 million related to the extension of the federal research and development credit and other international tax provisions resulting from the retroactive impact of U.S. legislation enacted in January 2013, $3.1 million related to 2012 provision to return adjustments and $2.5 million related to the reversal of certain deferred tax asset valuation allowances, partially offset by a $4.9 million tax expense related to a comprehensive income adjustment.

At September 30, 2012, the Company estimated its U.S. GAAP effective tax rate to be approximately 31% for the year ending December 31, 2012. This rate included net tax expense of $3.5 million associated with the loss from disposal activities and restructuring expense recorded during the third quarter of 2012. The $3.5 million net expense was comprised of $11.2 million tax expense resulting from the completion of the disposal, partially offset by a tax benefit of $7.7 million associated with the restructuring expense. For

8

Table of Contents                        

the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the net tax benefit associated with the loss from disposal activities and restructuring expense was $2.0 million. The 31% U.S. GAAP effective tax rate also included additional tax expense of $15.9 million resulting from other tax adjustments. These other tax adjustments included $8.2 million of tax expense primarily resulting from the settlement of certain tax audits and $7.7 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.

The annual effective tax rates differ 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 certain items, including equity in affiliates' earnings.

(5) Inventories, net

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of U.S. inventories is determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method, while the operations outside the U.S. use the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average-cost methods. Inventories consisted of the following:

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, accounts payable of $35.8 million and $39.8 million, respectively, were related to property, plant and equipment purchases.

Interest costs capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $8.5 million and $13.5 million, respectively.

(7) Product Warranty

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 the warranty accrual is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the accrual.

The following table summarizes the activity in the product warranty accrual accounts:

The Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility includes a feature that allows the Company's borrowings to be increased to $1 billion. Utilizing this feature, on April 12, 2013, the Company increased its multi-currency revolving credit facility from $650 million to $750 million. The credit facility provides for borrowings through June 30, 2016 and is guaranteed by the Company's material domestic subsidiaries. The credit facility has two key financial covenants, 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 September 30, 2013 and expects to remain compliant in future periods. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $320.0 million and $140.0 million, respectively, under this facility.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the estimated fair values of the Company’s senior unsecured notes totaled $738.4 million and $770.3 million, respectively. The estimated fair values were $87.4 million and $119.5 million higher than their carrying value at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 $27.1 million and $59.1 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The letters of credit typically act as guarantees of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.

(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:
Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC Topic 820:

A.
Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business.
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).

(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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 associated with our net investment in certain foreign operations (net investment hedges). At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the following cross-currency swaps were outstanding:

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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and reclassified into income as the underlying operating 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 September 30, 2013 market rates.

(12) Stock-Based Compensation

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. Under this Plan, 12.5 million shares are authorized for grant, of which approximately 1.6 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

15

Table of Contents                        

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 2013, restricted stock in the amount of 373,197 and 14,140 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.

The Company recorded restricted stock compensation expense of $4.9 million and $20.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $5.0 million and $14.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company waived the forfeiture provision associated with future restricted stock grants made to certain retiring Named Executive Officers. The expense of $20.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes $5.5 million of expense related to the grant of restricted stock awards to these Named Executive Officers.

(14)  Contingencies

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

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.

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 the cost of clean-up and other 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 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 $4.7 million and $3.9 million at September 30, 2013 and at December 31, 2012, respectively. 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 (“Kuhlman Electric”), 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. The Company previously settled or obtained dismissals of various lawsuits that were filed against Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, on behalf of plaintiffs alleging personal injury relating to alleged environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant. The Company filed a lawsuit against Kuhlman Electric and a related entity challenging the validity of the indemnity and the defendants filed counterclaims and a related lawsuit. In addition, two lawsuits by plaintiffs alleging environmental contamination relating to Kuhlman Electric's Crystal Springs plant are still pending and the Company may in the future become subject to further legal proceedings.

Product Liability

Like many other industrial companies who have historically operated in the U.S., the Company (or parties the Company is obligated to indemnify) continues to be named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions. We believe that the Company's involvement is limited because, in general, these claims relate to a few types of automotive friction products that were manufactured many years ago and contained encapsulated asbestos. The nature of the fibers, the encapsulation and the manner of use lead the Company to believe that these products are highly unlikely to cause harm. As of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately 16,000 pending asbestos-related product liability claims, respectively. Of the approximately 16,000 outstanding claims at September 30, 2013, approximately half were pending in jurisdictions that have undergone significant tort and judicial reform activities subsequent to the filing of these claims.

The Company's policy is to vigorously defend against these lawsuits and the Company has been successful in obtaining dismissal of many claims without any payment. The Company expects that the vast

18

Table of Contents                        

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 2013, of the approximately 1,200 claims resolved, 217 (18%) resulted in payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In the full year of 2012, of the approximately 2,400 claims resolved, 308 (13%) 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.

In August 2013, the Los Angeles Superior Court entered a jury verdict against the Company in an asbestos-related personal injury action with damages of $35.0 million, $32.5 million of which was non-compensatory and will not be recoverable through insurance if the verdict is upheld. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this action and to appeal the verdict. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this pending litigation and therefore cannot reasonably estimate the amount of possible loss, if any, that could result from this action.
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 $264.6 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 $139.8 million, is expected to be fully recovered, of which approximately $20.0 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, 2012, insurers owed $111.0 million in association with these claims.

In addition to the $139.8 million net balance relating to past settlements and defense costs, the Company has estimated a liability of $109.0 million for claims asserted, but not yet resolved and their related defense costs at September 30, 2013. The Company also has a related asset of $109.0 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 September 30, 2014. At December 31, 2012, the comparable value of the accrued liability and associated insurance asset was $85.6 million.

The 2013 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.

(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.

Prior to the April 2012 settlement of the Company's 3.50% convertible senior notes, 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. Prior to the April 2012 settlement of the call option portion of the bond hedge overlay, the call options were anti-dilutive if the Company's weighted average share price exceeded $32.82 per share. Prior to third and fourth quarter 2012 settlements of the warrant portion of the bond hedge overlay, the warrants were dilutive to the Company's earnings if the Company's weighted-average share price exceeded $38.61 per share.

(16) Reporting Segments

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.

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

(17) New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes," requiring an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

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. The Engine segment's products include turbochargers, timing devices and chain products, emissions systems, thermal systems, diesel coldstart, gasoline ignition technology and cabin heaters. The Drivetrain segment's products include transmission components and systems and all-wheel drive torque management systems.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $1,806.2 million, a 6.5% increase from the three months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of 2012 dispositions and strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 6%. Estimated light vehicle production was up 4% worldwide, primarily driven by a 6% increase in North America, a 4% increase in Asia and a 2% increase in Europe from the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 79.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 79.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2012. Gross profit and gross margin were $379.6 million and 21.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $343.7 million and 20.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2012. The Company's material cost of sales was approximately 50% of net sales in both the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company's remaining cost to convert raw material to finished product (conversion cost) decreased compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased $6.7 million to $157.7 million from $151.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012. SG&A as a percentage of was 8.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 down from 8.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2012. Research and Development ("R&D") expenses, which are included in SG&A expenses, increased $7.4 million to $71.8 million from $64.4 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. As a percentage of net sales, R&D expenses were 4.0% and 3.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our continued investment in a number of cross-business R&D programs, as well as other key programs, is necessary for the Company’s short- and long-term growth.

Table of Contents                        


Other expense of $29.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 includes $1.8 million of expense primarily related to working capital adjustments associated with the completion of the Company's sale of its spark plug business and $27.4 million of restructuring expense primarily associated with the disposal and future requirements of BERU's on-going business, which included $16.9 million of employee termination benefits and $10.5 million of other charges, primarily related to the write-down of certain assets.

Equity in affiliates’ earnings of $10.4 million decreased $0.7 million as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to lower earnings from the Company's 50% interest in NSK-Warner.

Interest expense and finance charges of $8.1 million increased $3.1 million as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to income from the Company's cross-currency swaps in the third quarter of 2012.

At September 30, 2013, the Company estimated its U.S. GAAP effective tax rate to be approximately 26% for the year ending December 31, 2013, which includes tax benefits of $3.8 million and $2.1 million related to the program termination agreement and retirement related obligations discussed in the Other (Income) Expense footnote. This rate also includes a net tax benefit of $7.3 million, which is comprised of tax benefits of $6.6 million related to the extension of the federal research and development credit and other international tax provisions resulting from the retroactive impact of U.S. legislation enacted in January 2013, $3.1 million related to 2012 provision to return adjustments and $2.5 million related to the reversal of certain deferred tax asset valuation allowances, partially offset by a $4.9 million tax expense related to a comprehensive income adjustment. Excluding the impact of these non-comparable items, the Company has estimated its annual effective tax rate associated with ongoing operations to be approximately 27% for the year ending December 31, 2013.

At September 30, 2012, the Company estimated its U.S. GAAP effective tax rate to be approximately 31% for the year ending December 31, 2012. This rate included net tax expense of $3.5 million associated with the loss from disposal activities and restructuring expense recorded during the third quarter of 2012. The $3.5 million net expense is comprised of $11.2 million tax expense resulting from the completion of the disposal, partially offset by a tax benefit of $7.7 million associated with the restructuring expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the net tax benefit associated with the loss from disposal activities and restructuring expense was $2.0 million. The 31% U.S. GAAP effective tax rate also includes additional tax expense of $15.9 million resulting from other tax adjustments. These other tax adjustments include $8.2 million of tax expense primarily resulting from the settlement of certain tax audits and $7.7 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. Excluding the impact of these non-comparable items, the Company estimated its annual effective tax rate associated with ongoing operations to be approximately 27% for the year ending December 31, 2012.

The Company’s earnings per diluted share were $1.45 and $0.85 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company believes the following table is useful in highlighting non-comparable items that impacted its earnings per diluted share.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $5,551.2 million, a 1.6% increase from the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of 2012 dispositions and strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 2%. Estimated light vehicle production was up 2% worldwide, primarily driven by a 5% increase in North America and a 3% increase in Asia, partially offset by a 1% decrease in Europe from the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 79.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 79.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Gross profit and gross margin were $1,150.9 million and 20.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1,122.7 million and 20.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company's material cost of sales was approximately 50% of net sales in both the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company's remaining cost to convert raw material to finished product (conversion cost) decreased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012

SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased $0.5 million to $472.6 million from $473.1 million and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 8.5% from 8.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in SG&A is primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. R&D expenses, which are included in SG&A expenses, increased $17.5 million to $216.2 million from $198.7 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. As a percentage of net sales, R&D expenses were 3.9% and 3.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our continued investment in a number of cross-business R&D programs, as well as other key programs, is necessary for the Company’s short- and long-term growth.

Other expense of $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is primarily related to an $11.3 million expense associated with a program termination agreement and a $5.9 million retirement related obligation related to a first quarter 2013 grant of restricted stock awards to certain retiring Named Executive Officers, which resulted from the Company's fourth quarter 2012 decision to waive the forfeiture provision associated with future restricted stock grants made to these Named Executive Officers. These items were partially offset by gains on asset disposals.

Other expense of $67.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes a $39.7 million loss from disposal activities as a result of the Company's sale of its spark plug business to Federal-Mogul Corporation. This loss primarily relates to purchase price accounting adjustments originally recorded in the Engine segment and related to the BERU acquisition. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded $27.4 million of restructuring expense primarily associated with the disposal and future requirements of BERU's on-going business, which included $16.9 million of employee termination benefits and $10.5 million of other charges, primarily related to the write-down of certain assets.

Equity in affiliates’ earnings was $31.2 million and $32.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Interest expense and finance charges of $26.6 million decreased $6.1 million as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to the April 2012 settlement of the Company's convertible senior notes.

At September 30, 2013, the Company estimated its U.S. GAAP effective tax rate to be approximately 26% for the year ending December 31, 2013, which includes tax benefits of $3.8 million and $2.1 million related to the program termination agreement and retirement related obligations discussed in the Other (Income) Expense footnote. This rate also includes a net tax benefit of $7.3 million, which is comprised of

tax benefits of $6.6 million related to the extension of the federal research and development credit and other international tax provisions resulting from the retroactive impact of U.S. legislation enacted in January 2013, $3.1 million related to 2012 provision to return adjustments and $2.5 million related to the reversal of certain deferred tax asset valuation allowances, partially offset by a $4.9 million tax expense related to a comprehensive income adjustment. Excluding the impact of these non-comparable items, the Company has estimated its annual effective tax rate associated with ongoing operations to be approximately 27% for the year ending December 31, 2013.

At September 30, 2012, the Company estimated its U.S. GAAP effective tax rate to be approximately 31% for the year ending December 31, 2012. This rate includes net tax expense of $3.5 million associated with the loss from disposal activities and restructuring expense recorded during the third quarter of 2012. The $3.5 million net expense is comprised of $11.2 million tax expense resulting from the completion of the disposal, partially offset by a tax benefit of $7.7 million associated with the restructuring expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the net tax benefit associated with the loss from disposal activities and restructuring expense was $2.0 million. The 31% U.S. GAAP effective tax rate also includes additional tax expense of $15.9 million resulting from other tax adjustments. These other tax adjustments include $8.2 million of tax expense primarily resulting from the settlement of certain tax audits and $7.7 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. Excluding the impact of these non-comparable items, the Company estimated its annual effective tax rate associated with ongoing operations to be approximately 27% for the year ending December 31, 2012.

The Company’s earnings per diluted share were $4.16 and $3.15 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company believes the following table is useful in highlighting non-comparable items that impacted its earnings per diluted share.

Reporting Segments

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.

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

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

The Engine segment net sales increased $42.3 million, or 3.6%, from the three months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of 2012 dispositions and strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 4% primarily due to higher sales of turbochargers variable cam timing devices and exhaust gas recirculation coolers around the world. The Engine segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 16.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 up from 15.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2012.

The Drivetrain segment net sales increased $69.6 million, or 13.0%, from the three months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 10% primarily due to higher sales of all-wheel drive systems and transmission components in North America and Korea. The Drivetrain segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 10.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 up from 8.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

The Engine segment net sales increased $10.3 million, or 0.3%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of 2012 dispositions and strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 2% from the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Higher sales of variable cam timing systems in Japan, turbochargers, exhaust gas recirculation coolers and engine timing systems in China and turbochargers in Brazil were partially offset by lower light vehicle production in Europe. The Engine segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 16.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 up from 16.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The Drivetrain segment net sales increased $79.2 million, or 4.6%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of strengthening foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, net sales increased approximately 3% from the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Higher sales of all-wheel drive systems and transmission components in North America and Korea, were partially offset by lower light vehicle production in Europe. The Drivetrain segment Adjusted EBIT margin was 10.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 up from 9.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company continues to review the consistency of the Drivetrain segment's financial performance.

Outlook for 2013

Based on uncertain global economic conditions our outlook for the remainder of 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 new product development and strategic capital investments to enhance its product leadership strategy. The trends that are driving our long-term growth are expected to continue, including the growth of direct injection diesel and gasoline engines worldwide, 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.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

The Company maintains various liquidity sources including cash and cash equivalents and the unused portion of our multi-currency revolving credit agreement. At September 30, 2013, the Company had $920.4 million of cash, including $916.8 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 multi-currency revolving credit facility includes a feature that allows the Company's borrowings to be increased to $1 billion. Utilizing this feature, on April 12, 2013, the Company increased its multi-currency revolving credit facility from $650 million to $750 million. The credit facility provides for borrowings through June 30, 2016 and is guaranteed by the Company's material domestic subsidiaries. The credit facility has two key financial covenants, 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 September 30, 2013 and expects to remain compliant in future periods. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $320.0 million and $140.0 million, respectively, under this facility.

Table of Contents                        

On October 18, 2013 and July 24, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock. The fourth quarter dividend is payable on November 15, 2013 to shareholders of record on November 1, 2013. The third quarter dividend was paid on August 15, 2013 to shareholders of record on August 5, 2013.

The Company's debt net of cash to capital ratio was 9.3% at September 30, 2013 versus 10.0% at December 31, 2012.

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 which could be issued.

From a credit quality perspective, the Company has a credit rating of Baa2 from Moody's and BBB+ from 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.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $27.8 million to $514.8 million in the first nine months of 2013 from $542.6 million in the first nine months of 2012. This decrease primarily reflects a reduction in dividends received from affiliates and higher cash paid for income taxes, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation compared with the first nine months of 2012.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $52.8 million to $275.1 million in the first nine months of 2013 from $222.3 million in the first nine months of 2012. This increase is primarily driven by cash received in the third quarter of 2012 from the Company's spark plug business sale.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $8.1 million to $59.2 million in the first nine months of 2013 from $51.1 million in the first nine months of 2012. This increase is primarily driven by a reduction in proceeds from stock option exercises, including the tax benefit and increased payments for treasury stock purchases and dividends, partially offset by increased net borrowings.

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.

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 an adverse outcome in any of these commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints would have a material adverse effect on the Company's overall results of operations, financial position or cash flows, although it could be material to results of operations in a particular quarter.

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

29

Table of Contents                        

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 presently be liable for the cost of clean-up and other 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 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 $4.7 million and $3.9 million at September 30, 2013 and at December 31, 2012, respectively. 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 (“Kuhlman Electric”), 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. The Company previously settled or obtained dismissals of various lawsuits that were filed against Kuhlman Electric and others, including the Company, on behalf of plaintiffs alleging personal injury relating to alleged environmental contamination at its Crystal Springs, Mississippi plant. The Company filed a lawsuit against Kuhlman Electric and a related entity challenging the validity of the indemnity and the defendants filed counterclaims and a related lawsuit. In addition, two lawsuits by plaintiffs alleging

30

Table of Contents                        

environmental contamination relating to Kuhlman Electric's Crystal Springs plant are still pending and the Company may in the future become subject to further legal proceedings.

Product Liability

Like many other industrial companies who have historically operated in the U.S., the Company (or parties the Company is obligated to indemnify) continues to be named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury actions. We believe that the Company's involvement is limited because, in general, these claims relate to a few types of automotive friction products that were manufactured many years ago and contained encapsulated asbestos. The nature of the fibers, the encapsulation and the manner of use lead the Company to believe that these products are highly unlikely to cause harm. As of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately 16,000 pending asbestos-related product liability claims, respectively. Of the approximately 16,000 outstanding claims at September 30, 2013, approximately half were pending in jurisdictions that have undergone significant tort and judicial reform activities subsequent to the filing of these claims.

The Company's policy is to vigorously defend against these lawsuits and the Company has been successful in obtaining dismissal of many claims without any payment. The Company expects that the vast majority of the pending asbestos-related product liability claims where it is a defendant (or has an obligation to indemnify a defendant) will result in no payment being made by the Company or its insurers. In 2013, of the approximately 1,200 claims resolved, 217 (18%) resulted in payment being made to a claimant by or on behalf of the Company. In the full year of 2012, of the approximately 2,400 claims resolved, 308 (13%) 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.

In August 2013, the Los Angeles Superior Court entered a jury verdict against the Company in an asbestos-related personal injury action with damages of $35.0 million, $32.5 million of which was non-compensatory and will not be recoverable through insurance if the verdict is upheld. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this action and to appeal the verdict. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this pending litigation and therefore cannot reasonably estimate the amount of possible loss, if any, that could result from this action.

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 $264.6 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

31

Table of Contents                        

of $139.8 million, is expected to be fully recovered, of which approximately $20.0 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, 2012, insurers owed $111.0 million in association with these claims.

In addition to the $139.8 million net balance relating to past settlements and defense costs, the Company has estimated a liability of $109.0 million for claims asserted, but not yet resolved and their related defense costs at September 30, 2013. The Company also has a related asset of $109.0 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 June 30, 2014. At December 31, 2012, the comparable value of the accrued liability and associated insurance asset was $85.6 million.

The amounts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the estimated future settlement of existing claims are as follows:

The 2013 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes," requiring an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the information concerning our exposures to market risk as stated in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission is collected and then processed, summarized and disclosed within the time periods specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these procedures are effective. There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to a number of claims and judicial and administrative proceedings (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the Company’s business or relating to matters for which the Company may have a contractual indemnity obligation. See Note 14 — Contingencies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of environmental, product liability and other litigation, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (Repurchases and Authorization of Equity Securities)

The Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 29.8 million shares of the Company's common stock. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had repurchased 24,290,805 shares under the Common Stock Repurchase Program. All shares purchased under this authorization have been and will continue to be repurchased in the open market at prevailing prices and at times and in amounts to be determined by management as market conditions and the Company's capital position warrant. The Company may use Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate share repurchases. Repurchased shares will be deemed common stock held in treasury and may subsequently be reissued for general corporate purposes.

Employee transactions include shares withheld to offset statutory minimum tax withholding that occurs upon vesting of performance and restricted shares. The BorgWarner Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan provides that the withholding obligations be settled by the Company retaining stock that is part of the Award. Withheld shares will be deemed common stock held in treasury and may subsequently be reissued for general corporate purposes.
