Business Conditions
Global Automotive Industry Environment*

     Global industry production for 2008 is projected to be up 3%,
     driven by solid growth in emerging markets
     Business conditions in North America remain challenging:
       – 2008 industry production forecasted at the lowest level since 1993
       – Shifts in consumer purchasing patterns, away from full-size pickups
         and large SUVs and toward crossovers and passenger cars
       – Increasing energy and commodity prices
       – Adverse impact of labor disruptions
       – Increasing financial distress within supply base

     Industry is implementing major restructuring initiatives,
     further consolidation and globalization strategies to improve
     longer-term results
                                                                                                                  4

       Increased benefit from restructuring
       Strong underlying operating performance
       Timing of commercial settlements
    Full-Year 2008 Earnings Outlook Unchanged
         Favorable foreign exchange driving increase in full-year revenue
         forecast (from $15.0 to $15.5 billion) partially offset by lower full-year
         N.A. industry production
         Favorable operating performance and foreign exchange offset by
         lower full-year N.A. industry production (14.1 vs. 14.4 million) and
         increasing commodity costs

Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) included throughout this
presentation, the Company has provided information regarding “income before interest, other expense and income taxes,” “income before interest, other
expense, income taxes, restructuring costs and other special items, excluding the divested Interior business” (core operating earnings), “pretax income
before restructuring costs and other special items” and “free cash flow” (each, a non-GAAP financial measure). Other expense includes, among other
things, non-income related taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, discounts and expenses associated with the Company’s asset-backed securitization
and factoring facilities, minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, equity in net income of affiliates and gains and losses on the sale of assets. Free
cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before the net change in sold accounts receivable, less capital expenditures. The Company
believes it is appropriate to exclude the net change in sold accounts receivable in the calculation of free cash flow since the sale of receivables may be
viewed as a substitute for borrowing activity.

Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the
Company’s financial position and results of operations. In particular, management believes that income before interest, other expense and income taxes,
core operating earnings and pretax income before restructuring costs and other special items are useful measures in assessing the Company’s financial
performance by excluding certain items (including those items that are included in other expense) that are not indicative of the Company's core operating
earnings or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Company’s continuing operating activities. Management also believes that these measures
are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company's results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal
periods. Management believes that free cash flow is useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s ability to service and
repay its debt. Further, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting in future periods.

Income before interest, other expense and income taxes, core operating earnings, pretax income before restructuring costs and other special items and
free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for pretax income, net income, cash provided by operating activities or other income
statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of free
cash flow does not reflect cash used to service debt and therefore, does not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses. Also, these
non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by the Company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by
other companies.

Set forth on the following slides are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated
and presented in accordance with GAAP. Given the inherent uncertainty regarding special items, other expense and the net change in sold accounts
receivable in any future period, a reconciliation of forward-looking financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP is not feasible. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant.

Forward-Looking Statements
 This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
 1995, including statements regarding anticipated financial results and liquidity. Actual results may differ materially from
 anticipated results as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, general economic conditions in
 the markets in which the Company operates, including changes in interest rates or currency exchange rates, the financial
 condition of the Company’s customers or suppliers, fluctuations in the production of vehicles for which the Company is a
 supplier, changes in the Company’s current vehicle production estimates, the loss of business with respect to, or the lack
 of commercial success of, a vehicle model for which the Company is a significant supplier, disruptions in the relationships
 with the Company’s suppliers, labor disputes involving the Company or its significant customers or suppliers or that
 otherwise affect the Company, the outcome and duration of the American Axle strike, the Company's ability to achieve
 cost reductions that offset or exceed customer-mandated selling price reductions, the outcome of customer productivity
 negotiations, the impact and timing of program launch costs, the costs, timing and success of restructuring actions,
 increases in the Company's warranty or product liability costs, risks associated with conducting business in foreign
 countries, competitive conditions impacting the Company's key customers and suppliers, the cost and availability of raw
 materials and energy, the Company's ability to mitigate any increases in raw material, energy and commodity costs, the
 outcome of legal or regulatory proceedings to which the Company is or may become a party, unanticipated changes in
 cash flow, including the Company’s ability to align its vendor payment terms with those of its customers and other risks
 described from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. In particular, the Company’s
 financial outlook for 2008 is based on several factors, including the Company’s current vehicle production and raw material
 pricing assumptions. The Company’s actual financial results could differ materially as a result of significant changes in
 these factors.

 The forward-looking statements in this presentation are made as of the date hereof, and the Company does not assume
 any obligation to update, amend or clarify them to reflect events, new information or circumstances occurring after the
 date hereof.


                                                                                                                                    33

Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) included throughout this presentation, the Company has provided information regarding “income before interest, other expense and income taxes,” “income before interest, other expense, income taxes, restructuring costs and other special items, excluding the divested Interior business” (core operating earnings), “pretax income before restructuring costs and other special items” and “free cash flow” (each, a non-GAAP financial measure). Other expense includes, among other things, non-income related taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, discounts and expenses associated with the Company’s asset-backed securitization and factoring facilities, minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, equity in net income of affiliates and gains and losses on the sale of assets. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before the net change in sold accounts receivable, less capital expenditures. The Company believes it is appropriate to exclude the net change in sold accounts receivable in the calculation of free cash flow since the sale of receivables may be viewed as a substitute for borrowing activity. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. In particular, management believes that income before interest, other expense and income taxes, core operating earnings and pretax income before restructuring costs and other special items are useful measures in assessing the Company’s financial performance by excluding certain items (including those items that are included in other expense) that are not indicative of the Company's core operating earnings or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Company’s continuing operating activities. Management also believes that these measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company's results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal periods. Management believes that free cash flow is useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s ability to service and repay its debt. Further, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting in future periods. Income before interest, other expense and income taxes, core operating earnings, pretax income before restructuring costs and other special items and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for pretax income, net income, cash provided by operating activities or other income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of free cash flow does not reflect cash used to service debt and therefore, does not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses. Also, these non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by the Company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Set forth on the following slides are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Given the inherent uncertainty regarding special items, other expense and the net change in sold accounts receivable in any future period, a reconciliation of forward-looking financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is not feasible. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant. 28
