Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Magna International Inc.

December 31, 2019

 


 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Magna International Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Magna International Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 5, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matter

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

 

Equity Method Investments — Refer to Notes 1 and 4 to the Financial Statements

 

Critical Audit Matter Description

 

The Company monitors its equity method investments for indicators of other-than-temporary declines in value on an ongoing basis and determined that indicators of impairment were present related to its investments in Getrag (Jiangxi) Transmission Co., Ltd, Getrag Ford Transmission GmbH, and Dongfeng Getrag Transmission Co. Ltd (collectively, “the investments”). The Company undertook an impairment analysis to determine the fair values of the investments utilizing an income approach based on discounted cash flows to derive the respective fair values of the investments and concluded there was an impairment loss. Key management estimates utilized in the analyses were forecasted revenues, terminal growth rates, and discount rates.

 

There were significant estimates and assumptions made by management to estimate the fair values of the investments. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to the selection of discount rates, terminal growth rates and forecasts of future revenues required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased  extent of effort,

 


 

including the need to involve fair value specialists.

 

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

 

Our audit procedures related to discount rates, terminal growth rates, and forecasts of future revenues used to estimate the fair values of the investments included the following, among others:

 

· Evaluated the effectiveness of controls over management’s impairment evaluation of the investments, including those over the determination of the investments’ fair value calculations. This included controls related to management’s selection of discount rates, terminal growth rates and forecasts of future revenues.

 

· Evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast future revenues by comparing actual results to the historical forecasts made for the investments.

 

· Evaluated the reasonableness of management’s revenue forecasts by comparing the forecasts to:

 

           Forecasted information underlying the business plans of the equity method investments, as well as industry reports

           External volume forecasts for the automotive industry

           Signed contracts, or letters of intent, where applicable

 

· With the assistance of fair value specialists, evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) discount rates and (2) terminal growth rates, including testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rates and terminal growth rates, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rates and terminal growth rates selected by management.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Magna International Inc.

 

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Magna International Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 of the Company and our report dated March 5, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars following accounting principles generally accepted in the United States [“GAAP”].

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Magna and its subsidiaries in which Magna has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary. The Company presents non-controlling interests as a separate component within Shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The Company operates globally, which gives rise to a risk that its earnings and cash flows may be adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

 

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at year end, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate during the year. Exchange gains or losses on translation of the Company’s net investment in these operations are included in comprehensive income and are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign exchange gains or losses on debt that was designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in these operations are also recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

Foreign exchange gains and losses on transactions occurring in a currency other than an operation’s functional currency are reflected in income, except for gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts used to hedge specific future commitments in foreign currencies and on intercompany balances which are designated as long-term investments. In particular, the Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts for the sole purpose of hedging certain of the Company’s future committed foreign currency based outflows and inflows. Most of the Company’s foreign exchange contracts are subject to master netting arrangements that provide for the net settlement of contracts, by counterparty, in the event of default or termination. All derivative instruments, including foreign exchange contracts, are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The fair values of derivatives are recorded on a gross basis in prepaid expenses and other, other assets, other accrued liabilities or other long-term liabilities. To the extent that cash flow hedges are effective, the change in their fair value is recorded in other comprehensive income; any ineffective portion is recorded in net income. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive loss are reclassified to net income in the period in which the hedged item affects net income.

 

If the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts cease to be effective as hedges, for example if projected foreign cash inflows or outflows declined significantly, gains or losses pertaining to the portion of the hedging transactions in excess of projected foreign currency denominated cash flows would be recognized in income at the time this condition was identified.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on account, demand deposits and short-term investments with remaining maturities of less than three months at acquisition.

Inventories

 

Production inventories and tooling inventories manufactured in-house are valued at the lower of cost determined substantially on a first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. Cost includes the cost of materials plus direct labour applied to the product and the applicable share of manufacturing overhead.

 

Investments

 

The Company accounts for investments in companies over which it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not hold a controlling financial interest, under the equity method [“Equity method investments”]. The Company monitors its equity method investments for indicators of other-than-temporary declines in value on an ongoing basis. If the Company determines that an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred, it recognizes an impairment loss, which is measured as the difference between the book value and the fair value of the investment. Fair value is generally determined using an income approach based on discounted cash flows. The inputs utilized in the analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” and primarily consist of expected investee revenue and costs, estimated production volumes and discount rates.

 

The Company also has investments in private and publicly traded technology companies over which it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. The Company has elected to use the measurement alternative, defined as cost, less impairments, adjusted by observable price changes to measure the private equity investments. The Company values its investments in publicly traded equity securities using the closing price on the measurement date, as reported on the stock exchange on which the securities are traded.

 

Private equity investments are subject to impairment reviews conducted on a quarterly basis. The Company’s impairment analysis considers both qualitative and quantitative factors that may have a significant impact on the investee’s fair value. Upon determining that an impairment may exist, the security’s fair value is calculated and compared to its carrying value.  An impairment is recognized immediately if the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

 

Long-lived assets

 

Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of fixed assets at annual rates of 2½% to 5% for buildings, 7% to 10% for general purpose equipment and 10% to 33% for special purpose equipment.

 

Finite-lived intangible assets, which have arisen principally through acquisitions, include customer relationship intangibles and patents and licences. These finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which range from 4 to 15 years.

 

The Company assesses fixed and finite-lived intangible assets for recoverability whenever indicators of impairment exist. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows from the use of the asset, then an impairment loss is recognized to write the asset down to fair value. The fair value of fixed and finite-lived intangible assets is generally determined using estimated discounted future cash flows.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired enterprise over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed less any subsequent write-downs for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. Goodwill impairment is assessed based on a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to the underlying carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment is recognized based on that difference. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using its estimated discounted future cash flows.

Tooling and Pre-Production Engineering Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Agreements

 

The Company incurs pre-production engineering and tooling costs related to the products produced for its customers under long-term supply agreements. Customer reimbursements for tooling and pre-production engineering activities that are part of a long-term supply arrangement are accounted for as a reduction of cost. Pre-production costs related to long-term supply arrangements with a contractual guarantee for reimbursement are included in the Company’s Other assets.

 

The Company expenses all pre-production engineering costs for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer. All tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the Company does not have a non-cancelable right to use the tooling are also expensed.

 

Warranty

 

The Company has assurance warranties and records product warranty liabilities based on its individual customer agreements. Under most customer agreements, the Company only accounts for existing or probable claims on product default issues when amounts related to such issues are probable and reasonably estimable. However, for certain complete vehicle assembly, powertrain systems and electronics contracts, the Company records an estimate of future warranty-related costs based on the terms of the specific customer agreements and/or the Company’s warranty experience.  Product liability and recall provisions are established based on the Company’s best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle existing claims which typically take into account: the number of units that may be returned; the cost of the product being replaced; labour to remove and replace the defective part; and the customer’s administrative costs relating to the recall.  Judgement is also required as to the ultimate negotiated sharing of the cost between the Company, the customer and, in some cases, a supplier to the Company.

 

When a decision to recall a product has been made or is probable, the Company’s portion of the estimated cost of the recall is recorded as a charge to income in that period. The Company monitors warranty activity on an ongoing basis and adjusts reserve balances when it is probable that future warranty costs will be different than those previously estimated.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company uses the liability method of tax allocation to account for income taxes. Under the liability method of tax allocation, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

 

No deferred tax liability is recorded for taxes on undistributed earnings and translation adjustments of foreign subsidiaries if these items are either considered to be reinvested for the foreseeable future or if they are available for repatriation and are not subject to further tax on remittance. Taxes are recorded on such foreign undistributed earnings and translation adjustments when it becomes apparent that such earnings will be distributed in the foreseeable future and the Company will incur further tax on remittance.

 

Recognition of uncertain tax positions is dependent on whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are considered short-term and are not recorded on the balance sheet.  The Company recognizes operating lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Operating lease right-of-use [“ROU”] assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date.  As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company’s operating leases, an incremental borrowing rate is generally used to determine the present value of future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate for each lease is based on the Company’s estimated borrowing rate over a similar term to that of the lease payments, adjusted for various factors including collateralization, location and currency.

 

A majority of the Company’s leases for manufacturing facilities are subject to variable lease-related payments, such as escalation clauses based on consumer price index rates or other similar indices.  Variable payments that are based on an index or a rate are included in the recognition of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities using the index or rate at lease commencement.  Subsequent changes to these lease payments due to rate or index updates are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred.

 

The Company’s lease agreements generally exclude non-lease components.  As a result, non-lease components are accounted for separately for all classes of assets and expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

 

Employee future benefit plans

 

The cost of providing benefits through defined benefit pensions, lump sum termination and long service payment arrangements, and post-retirement benefits other than pensions is actuarially determined and recognized in income using the projected benefit method pro-rated on service and management’s best estimate of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation, retirement ages of employees and, with respect to medical benefits, expected health care costs. Differences arising from plan amendments, changes in assumptions and experience gains and losses that are greater than 10% of the greater of: [i] the accrued benefit obligation at the beginning of the year; and [ii] the fair value [or market related value] of plan assets at the beginning of the year, are recognized in income over the expected average remaining service life of employees. Gains related to plan curtailments are recognized when the event giving rise to the curtailment has occurred. Plan assets are valued at fair value. The cost of providing benefits through defined contribution pension plans is charged to income in the period in respect of which contributions become payable.

 

The funded status of the plans is measured as the difference between the plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation [“PBO”]. The aggregate of all overfunded plans is recorded in other assets, and the aggregate of all underfunded plans in long-term employee benefit liabilities. The portion of the amount by which the actuarial present value of benefits included in the PBO exceeds the fair value of plan assets, payable in the next twelve months, is reflected in other accrued liabilities.

Revenue recognition

 

The Company enters into contracts with its customers to provide production parts or assembled vehicles. Contracts do not commit the customer to a specified quantity of products; however, the Company is generally required to fulfill its customers’ purchasing requirements for the production life of the vehicle. Contracts do not typically become a performance obligation until the Company receives either a purchase order and/or a customer release for a specific number of parts or assembled vehicles at a specified price. While long-term supply agreements may range from five to seven years, contracts may be terminated by customers at any time. Historically, terminations have been minimal. Contracts may also provide for annual price reductions over the production life of the vehicle, and prices are adjusted on an ongoing basis to reflect changes in product content/cost and other commercial factors.

 

Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the parts produced or assembled vehicles are transferred to the customer according to the terms of the contract. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products based on purchase orders, annual price reductions and ongoing price adjustments [some of which is accounted for as variable consideration]. The Company uses the expected value method, taking into account historical data and the status of current negotiations, to estimate the amount to which it expects to be entitled. Significant changes to the Company’s estimates of variable consideration are not expected.

 

The Company’s complete vehicle assembly contracts with customers are complex and often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer, some of which may be implicitly contracted for. For these complex arrangements, each good or service is evaluated to determine whether it represents a distinct performance obligation, and whether it should be characterized as revenue or reimbursement of costs incurred. The total transaction price is then allocated to the distinct performance obligations based on the expected cost or cost plus a margin approach and recognized as revenue as discussed above.

 

The Company also performs tooling and engineering activities for its customers that are not part of a long-term production arrangement. Tooling and engineering revenue are recognized at a point in time or over time depending, among other considerations, on whether the Company has an enforceable right to payment plus a reasonable profit, for performance completed to date. Over-time recognition utilizes costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion, to measure progress toward satisfying performance obligations.  Revenue is recognized as control is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. Total tooling and engineering sales were $749.1 million [2018 - $824.6 million] for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

The Company’s customers pay for products received in accordance with payment terms that are customary in the industry, typically 30 to 90 days. The Company’s contracts with its customers do not have significant financing components.

 

Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling costs are included in Sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on, and concurrent with, a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue.

 

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for [i] contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, and [ii] contracts for which it recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

 

The Company’s contract assets include both billed and unbilled accounts receivable and are included in the Accounts Receivable balance.  Unbilled amounts typically result from sales of standalone tooling and engineering activities where revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. As at December 31, 2019, the Company’s unbilled accounts receivable balance was $318 million [2018 - $293 million].  Accounts receivable related to production, tooling and engineering sales were $4.5 billion as of December 31, 2019 [2018 - $4.3 billion].  Contract assets do not include the costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract with a customer, as these amounts are generally expensed as incurred.

 

Customer advances are recorded as deferred revenue [a contract liability]. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the contract liability balances were $199 million and $176 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized $91 million of previously recorded contract liabilities into revenue as performance obligations were satisfied. There were no significant amounts included in contract liabilities recognized in revenue during the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Government assistance

 

The Company makes periodic applications for financial assistance under available government assistance programs in the various jurisdictions that the Company operates. Grants relating to capital expenditures are reflected as a reduction of the cost of the related assets. Grants relating to current operating expenditures are generally recorded as a reduction of the related expense at the time the eligible expenses are incurred. The Company also receives tax credits and tax super allowances, the benefits of which are recorded as a reduction of income tax expense. In addition, the Company receives loans which are recorded as liabilities in amounts equal to the cash received. When a government loan is issued to the Company at a below-market rate of interest, the loan is initially recorded at its net present value, and accreted to its face value over the period of the loan. The benefit of the below-market rate of interest is accounted for like a government grant. It is measured as the difference between the initial carrying value of the loan and the cash proceeds received.

 

Research and development

 

Costs incurred in connection with research and development activities, to the extent not recoverable from the Company’s customers, are charged to expense as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, research and development costs charged to expense were approximately $640 million and $588 million, respectively.

 

Earnings per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per Common Share are calculated on net income attributable to Magna International Inc. using the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the year.

 

Diluted earnings per Common Share are calculated on the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding, including an adjustment for stock options outstanding using the treasury stock method.

 

Common Shares that have not been released under the Company’s restricted stock plan or are being held in trust for purposes of the Company’s restricted stock unit program have been excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share but have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Certain amounts in the prior period comparatives have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

2.     ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

Accounting Changes

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases: Topic 842 (ASU 2016-02)”, to supersede nearly all existing lease guidance under GAAP. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach, without restatement of the comparative period’s financial information, as permitted by the transition guidance. The adoption of the new standard resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $25 million. The Company elected certain practical expedients including not to reassess whether any expired or existing contract is or contains a lease, the lease classification of any expired or existing lease, and not to reassess any initial direct costs for any existing leases.  In addition, the Company elected to use the hindsight, practical expedient.

 

The most significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while the accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. On January 1, 2019, the Company recognized operating lease liabilities of $1.8 billion and ROU assets of $1.8 billion based on the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

[a]         Impairment of assets

 

During 2019, the Company concluded that indicators of impairment were present within the Power & Vision segment related to its equity-accounted investments in Getrag (Jiangxi) Transmission Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Getrag Transmission Co. Ltd. in China, which make both manual transmissions and dual-clutch transmissions [“DCTs”], and its equity-accounted investment Getrag Ford Transmission GmbH [“GFT”] in Europe which makes manual transmissions.  The conclusion was based on lower than expected sales, increased pricing pressure in the China market, declines in volume projections for the foreseeable future for manual transmissions and DCTs in China and manual transmissions in Europe, and in-sourcing of transmissions by certain Chinese OEMs. Accordingly, the Company deemed there to be an other-than-temporary decline, and undertook an impairment analysis to determine the fair value of the investments utilizing discounted cash flows to derive fair values. Based on the analyses, the carrying value of the Company’s investments exceeded fair value by $700 million. Including the $36 million impact of income taxes and the $127 million attributable to non-controlling interest, the non-cash impairment charge included in net income attributable to the Company was $537 million.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company also recorded asset impairment charges of $27 million [$20 million after tax] in its Electronics operations which are included in the Company’s Power & Vision segment.

 

During 2018, the Company concluded that indicators of impairment were present related to its investment in GFT and undertook an impairment analysis to determine the fair value of the investment. Based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the investment in GFT, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $60 million [$59 million after tax].

 

For the year ended December 31,  2018, the Company also recorded fixed asset impairment charges of $14 million [$12 million after tax] related to a certain Body Exteriors & Structures facility.

 

[b]         Restructuring

 

During 2019, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $31 million [$31 million after tax] for its Body Exteriors & Structures operations.

 

During 2018, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $20 million, and $25 million [$20 million and $23 million after tax], respectively, for its Power & Vision and Body Exteriors & Structures operations.

7.     BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

 

Acquisition in the year ended December 31, 2019

 

On April 29, 2019, the Company’s Seating Systems segment completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interest in VIZA GECA, S.L. [“VIZA”], a Spain-based supplier of seat structures and related systems. The purchase price was $99 million [net of $13 million cash acquired] and is subject to customary purchase price adjustments, and was accounted for as a business combination.

 

Adjustments were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019 for changes in the estimated values of fixed assets, intangible assets, other assets, and deferred tax liabilities from the amounts disclosed as of June 30, 2019.  The preliminary purchase price allocations may be subsequently adjusted to reflect final valuation results and other adjustments.

 

Acquisition in the year ended December 31, 2018

 

On October 31, 2018, the Company’s Power & Vision segment completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interest in OLSA S.p.A. [“OLSA”], a global company which designs, engineers and manufactures tail lamps and other lighting products. The purchase price was $152 million [net of $17 million cash acquired] and was accounted for as a business combination.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company finalized the purchase price and amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

The following table summarizes the net amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed for these and other small acquisitions at their estimated fair values:

The adjustments were not significant for any period presented after the acquisition dates.

 

Recognized goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce, expected synergies and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition.  Intangible assets consist primarily of amounts recognized for the fair value of customer contracts and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over an eight to ten-year estimated useful life.

 

These entities have been included in our consolidated results of operations since their respective acquisition dates. Full year pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of these acquisitions, individually and in aggregate, were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

[i]             During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had non-taxable capital gains mainly related to the sale of the FP&C business [note 3].

 

[ii]          GAAP requires that the Company assess whether valuation allowances should be established or maintained against its deferred tax assets, based on consideration of all available evidence, using a “more-likely-than-not” standard. The factors the Company uses to assess the likelihood of realization are its history of losses, forecasts of future pre-tax income and tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company released certain of its valuation allowance against deferred tax assets on its Canadian capital losses as a result of the anticipated capital gain from the sale of the FP&C business [note 3]. Additionally, the Company released the valuation allowance set up against deferred tax assets in India.  The net effect of these valuation allowance releases was $52 million.

[f]           The Company has provided for deferred income taxes for the estimated tax cost of distributable earnings of its subsidiaries. Deferred income taxes have not been provided on approximately $5.73 billion of undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, as the Company has concluded that such earnings should not give rise to additional tax liabilities upon repatriation or are indefinitely reinvested. A determination of the amount of the unrecognized tax liability relating to the remittance of such undistributed earnings is not practicable.

 

[g]          Income taxes paid in cash [net of refunds] were $484 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 [2018 - $665 million].

 

[h]         As of December 31, 2019, the Company had domestic and foreign operating loss carryforwards of $2.43 billion and tax credit carryforwards of $70 million. Approximately $1.67 billion of the operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely. The remaining operating losses and tax credit carryforwards expire between 2020 and 2039.

 

[i]             As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits were $192 million and $198 million, respectively [excluding interest and penalties], of which $174 million and $183 million, respectively, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The gross unrecognized tax benefits differ from the amount that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate due primarily to the impact of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. A summary of the changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The Company recognizes interest and penalties with respect to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had recorded interest and penalties on the unrecognized tax benefits of $46 million and $39 million, respectively, which reflects an increase  in expenses related to changes in its reserves for interest and penalties of $7 million in 2019 and a decrease of $6 million in expenses related to changes in its reserves for interest and penalties in 2018.

 

The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions, and its tax returns are periodically audited or subject to review by both domestic and foreign tax authorities. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that, as a result of audit settlements, the conclusion of current examinations and the expiration of the statute of limitations in several jurisdictions, the Company may decrease the amount of its gross unrecognized tax benefits [including interest and penalties] by approximately $32 million, of which $24 million, if recognized, would affect its effective tax rate.

 

The Company considers its significant tax jurisdictions to include Canada, the United States, Austria, Germany and Mexico. With few exceptions, the Company remains subject to income tax examination in Germany for years after 2007, Mexico for years after 2013, Canada for years after 2014, U.S. federal jurisdiction for years after 2015, and in Austria for years after 2015.

17.  DEBT

 

Short-term borrowings

 

The Company utilizes credit facilities and commercial paper programs as needed for its short-term working capital fluctuations. As of December 31, 2019, there were no short-term borrowings outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 2018 short-term borrowings totaled $1,098 million, consisting of $35 million in bank indebtedness and $1,063 million in commercial paper.

 

[a]         Credit Facilities

 

The Company has an agreement for a credit facility that is drawn in euros that is secured with a USD cash deposit of 105% of the outstanding balance.  As at December 31, 2019, the amount drawn was $110 million [2018 - $112 million] and the related restricted cash equivalent deposit was $116 million [2018 - $118 million].  Given that the credit agreement includes a netting arrangement that provides for the legal right of setoff, the remaining net deposit of $ 6 million [2018 - $6 million] is included in the prepaid expenses and other balance [note 6].

[ii]      Includes $58 million of long-term employee benefit liabilities and $2 million of accrued salaries and wages which were reclassified to liabilities held for sale.

 

The expected rate of return on plan assets was determined by considering the Company’s current investment mix, the historic performance of these investment categories and expected future performance of these investment categories.

 

[b]         Termination and long service arrangements

 

Pursuant to labour laws and national labour agreements in certain European countries and Mexico, the Company is obligated to provide lump sum termination payments to employees on retirement or involuntary termination, and long service payments contingent upon persons reaching a predefined number of years of service.

[d]         Fair value

 

The Company determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based on valuation methodologies it believes are appropriate; however, considerable judgment is required to develop these estimates. Accordingly, these estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The estimated fair value amounts can be materially affected by the use of different assumptions or methodologies. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are described below:

 

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts payable.

 

Due to the short period to maturity of the instruments, the carrying values as presented in the consolidated balance sheets are reasonable estimates of fair values.

 

Publicly traded and private equity securities

 

The fair value of the Company’s investments in publicly traded equity securities is determined using the closing price on the measurement date, as reported on the stock exchange on which the securities are traded. [Level 1 input based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy.]

 

The Company estimates the value of its private equity securities based on valuation methods using the observable transaction price at the transaction date and other observable inputs including rights and obligations of the securities held by the Company. [Level 3 input based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy.]

 

Term debt

 

The Company’s term debt includes $106 million due within one year. Due to the short period to maturity of this debt, the carrying value as presented in the consolidated balance sheet is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.

 

35


 

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

[All amounts in U.S. dollars and all tabular amounts in millions, except per share figures, unless otherwise noted]

 

Senior Notes

 

The fair value of our Senior Notes are classified as Level 1 when we use quoted prices in active markets and Level 2 when the quoted prices are from less active markets or when other observable inputs are used to determine fair value. At December 31, 2019, the net book value of the Company’s Senior Notes was $3.02 billion and the estimated fair value was $3.20 billion, determined using Level 2 inputs.

 

[e]          Credit risk

 

The Company’s financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents [net of the euro drawn amount], accounts receivable, held-to-maturity investments and foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts with positive fair values.

 

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents, which consist of short-term investments, are only invested in bank term deposits and bank commercial paper with an investment grade credit rating. Credit risk is further reduced by limiting the amount which is invested in certain governments or any major financial institution.

 

The Company is also exposed to credit risk from the potential default by any of its counterparties on its foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company mitigates this credit risk by dealing with counterparties who are major financial institutions that the Company anticipates will satisfy their obligations under the contracts.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to credit risk from its customers, substantially all of which are in the automotive industry and are subject to credit risks associated with the automotive industry. For the year ended December 31, 2019, sales to the Company’s six largest customers represented 77% [2018 - 77%] of the Company’s total sales; and substantially all of its sales are to customers in which the Company has ongoing contractual relationships.

 

[f]           Currency risk

 

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when manufacturing facilities have committed to the delivery of products for which the selling price has been quoted in currencies other than the facilities’ functional currency, and when materials and equipment are purchased in currencies other than the facilities’ functional currency. In an effort to manage this net foreign exchange exposure, the Company employs hedging programs, primarily through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts [note 23[a]].

 

[g]         Interest rate risk

 

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary current assets and current liabilities. In particular, the amount of interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents is impacted more by investment decisions made and the demands to have available cash on hand, than by movements in interest rates over a given period.

 

In addition, the Company is not exposed to interest rate risk on its term debt and Senior Notes as the interest rates on these instruments are fixed.

24.       CONTINGENCIES

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in regulatory proceedings, or become liable for legal, contractual and other claims by various parties, including customers, suppliers, former employees, class action plaintiffs and others. On an ongoing basis, the Company attempts to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these proceedings or claims, together with potential ranges of probable costs and losses. A determination of the provision required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analysis of each individual issue. The required provision may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters.

 

[a]         In September 2014, the Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Economica [“CADE”], Brazil’s Federal competition authority, attended at one of the Company’s operating divisions in Brazil to obtain information in connection with an ongoing antitrust investigation relating to suppliers of automotive door latches and related products [“access mechanisms”].

 

In May 2019, CADE informed the Company that it completed its preliminary investigation and, based on a review of the evidence, has commenced a formal administrative proceeding into alleged anticompetitive behaviour relating to access mechanisms involving the Company.

 

Administrative proceedings of this nature can often continue for several years. At this time, management is unable to predict the duration or outcome of the Brazilian administrative proceeding, including whether any operating divisions of the Company will be found liable for any violation of law or the extent or magnitude of any liability, if any.

 

In the event that wrongful conduct is found, CADE may impose administrative penalties or fines taking into account several mitigating and aggravating factors.  Administrative fines are tied to the sales in Brazil of the applicable Magna companies in the fiscal year prior to the commencement of the formal administrative proceeding.  Magna could also be subject to restitution settlements, civil proceedings and other consequences, including reputational damage.

 

The Company’s policy is to comply with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. The Company has completed its previously announced global review focused on antitrust risk and does not currently anticipate any material liabilities in connection with the review.

 

[b]         The Company is at risk for product warranty costs, which include product liability and recall costs, and is currently experiencing increased customer pressure to assume greater warranty responsibility.  For most types of products, the Company only accounts for existing or probable product warranty claims. However, for certain complete vehicle assembly, powertrain systems and electronics contracts, the Company records an estimate of future warranty-related costs based on the terms of the specific customer agreements and/or the Company’s warranty experience. Product liability and recall provisions are established based on the Company’s best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle existing claims, which typically take into account: the number of units that may be returned; the cost of the product being replaced; labour to remove and replace the defective part; and the customer’s administrative costs relating to the recall. Where applicable, such provisions are booked net of recoveries from sub-suppliers and along with related insurance recoveries. Due to the uncertain nature of the net costs, actual product liability costs could be materially different from the Company’s best estimates of future costs [note 16].

25.       SEGMENTED INFORMATION

 

[a]         Magna is a global automotive supplier which has complete vehicle engineering and contract manufacturing expertise, as well as product capabilities which include body, chassis, exterior, seating, powertrain, active driver assistance, electronics, mirrors & lighting, mechatronics and roof systems. Magna also has electronic and software capabilities across many of these areas.

 

The Company is organized under four operating segments: Body Exteriors & Structures, Power & Vision, Seating Systems and Complete Vehicles. These segments have been determined on the basis of technological opportunities, product similarities, and market and operating factors, and are also the Company’s reportable segments.

 

The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted Earnings before Interest and Income Taxes [“Adjusted EBIT”] as the measure of segment profit or loss, since management believes Adjusted EBIT is the most appropriate measure of operational profitability or loss for its reporting segments. Adjusted EBIT is calculated by taking net income and adding back income taxes, interest expense, net, and other expense, net.

 

The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those set out under “Significant Accounting Policies” [note 1]. All intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for at fair market value.
