Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position

 

Unless otherwise noted, all amounts in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position ["MD&A"] are in U.S. dollars and all tabular amounts are in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share figures, which are in U.S. dollars. When we use the terms "we", "us", "our" or "Magna", we are referring to Magna International Inc. and its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities, unless the context otherwise requires.

 

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 included in this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in our 2020 Annual Report to Shareholders.

 

This MD&A may contain statements that are forward looking. Refer to the "Forward-Looking Statements" section in this MD&A for a more detailed discussion of our use of forward-looking statements.

 

This MD&A has been prepared as at August 5, 2021.

 

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

In addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ["U.S. GAAP"], this report includes the use of Adjusted earnings (loss) before interest and taxes ["Adjusted EBIT"], Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales, Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, Return on Invested Capital, Adjusted Return on Invested Capital and Return on Equity [collectively, the "Non-GAAP Measures"]. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in understanding our underlying performance and trends through the same financial measures employed by our management for this purpose. Readers should be aware that Non-GAAP Measures have no standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP and accordingly may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures by other companies. We believe that Return on Invested Capital and Return on Equity are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of our results of operations and reflect our ability to generate returns. Similarly, we believe that Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales, Adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share and Adjusted Return on Invested Capital provide useful information to our investors for measuring our operational performance as they exclude certain items that are not reflective of ongoing operating profit or loss and facilitate a comparison with prior periods. The presentation of any Non-GAAP Measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our related financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented together with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, can be found in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation" section of this MD&A.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

Specific circumstances during the second quarters of 2021 and 2020 make the quarters difficult to compare. The second quarter of 2020 included unprecedented, industry-wide production suspensions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while the second quarter of 2021 included production disruptions as a result of an ongoing global semiconductor chip shortage.

 

In the second quarter of 2021:

 

·Global light vehicle production increased 58% over the second quarter of 2020, driven by production in our two largest markets North America and Europe. The increase in global light vehicle production is largely attributable to unprecedented, industry-wide production suspensions in the second quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by the negative impact of production disruptions as a result of the global semiconductor chip shortage on light vehicle production in the second quarter of 2021.
  
·Total sales increased 110% to $9.0 billion, compared to $4.3 billion in the second quarter of 2020. The increase largely reflects higher global light vehicle production and higher assembly volumes, the net strengthening of currencies against the U.S. dollar, business combinations subsequent to the second quarter of 2020, and the launch of new programs.
  
·Diluted earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.40. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased $3.11, largely reflecting contribution on higher sales and continued cost savings and operating efficiencies, including as a result of implemented restructuring actions.
  
·Cash from operating activities was $528 million, an increase of $1.8 billion over the second quarter of 2020.
  
·We returned $226 million to shareholders through $127 million in dividends and $99 million in share repurchases.
  
·We reached the second milestone in our cooperation with Fisker Inc. ["Fisker"], signing a long-term manufacturing agreement for the production of the Fisker Ocean at our vehicle assembly facility in Graz, Austria. Manufacturing is scheduled to begin in November of 2022.

 

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2021:

 

·We disposed of three Body Exteriors & Structures operations based in Germany. The facilities had combined sales of $353 million in 2020. We expect to record a loss of approximately $75 million on the disposition.
  
·We entered into an agreement for the acquisition of Veoneer, Inc. ["Veoneer"], a leader in automotive safety systems, including active and passive safety, which is discussed in the “Subsequent Events” section below.
  
·We acquired a 49% interest in the LG-Magna joint venture for $453 million.

OVERVIEW

 

OUR BUSINESS(1)

 

Magna is more than one of the world’s largest suppliers in the automotive space. We are a mobility technology company with a global, entrepreneurial-minded team of 158,000 employees and an organizational structure designed to innovate like a startup. With 60+ years of expertise, and a systems approach to design, engineering and manufacturing that touches nearly every aspect of the vehicle, we are positioned to support advancing mobility in a transforming industry. Our global network includes 347 manufacturing operations and 87 product development, engineering and sales centres spanning 28 countries. Our common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (MG) and the New York Stock Exchange (MGA).

 

INDUSTRY TRENDS & RISKS

 

Our operating results are primarily dependent on the levels of North American, European and Chinese car and light truck production by our customers. While we supply systems and components to every major original equipment manufacturer ["OEM"], we do not supply systems and components for every vehicle, nor is the value of our content consistent from one vehicle to the next. As a result, customer and program mix relative to market trends, as well as the value of our content on specific vehicle production programs, are also important drivers of our results.

 

OEM production volumes are generally aligned with vehicle sales levels and thus affected by changes in such levels. Aside from vehicle sales levels, production volumes are typically impacted by a range of factors, including: general economic and political conditions; labour disruptions; free trade arrangements; tariffs; relative currency values; commodities prices; supply chains; infrastructure; availability and relative cost of skilled labour; regulatory considerations, including those related to environmental emissions and safety standards; and other factors. Additionally, COVID-19 can impact vehicle production volumes, including through: mandatory stay-at-home orders which restrict production; elevated employee absenteeism; and supply chain disruptions.

 

Overall vehicle sales levels are significantly affected by changes in consumer confidence levels, which may in turn be impacted by consumer perceptions and general trends related to the job, housing and stock markets, as well as other macroeconomic and political factors. Other factors which typically impact vehicle sales levels and thus production volumes include: interest rates and/or availability of credit; fuel and energy prices; relative currency values; regulatory restrictions on use of vehicles in certain megacities; and other factors. Additionally, COVID-19 can impact vehicle sales, including through mandatory stay-at-home orders which restrict operations of car dealerships, as well as through a deterioration in consumer confidence.

 

While the foregoing economic, political and other factors are part of the general context in which the global automotive industry operates, there have been a number of significant industry trends that are shaping the future of the industry and creating opportunities and risks for automotive suppliers. We continue to implement a business strategy which is rooted in our best assessment as to the rate and direction of change in the automotive industry, including with respect to trends related to vehicle electrification and advanced driver assistance systems, as well as "mobility-as-a-service" ["MaaS"]. Our short- and medium-term operational success, as well as our ability to create long-term value through our business strategy, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Significant industry trends, our business strategy and the major risks we face, are discussed in our Annual Information Form ["AIF"] and Annual Report on Form 40-F ["Form 40-F"] in respect of the year ended December 31, 2020, together with subsequent filings. Those industry trends and risk factors remain substantially unchanged in respect of the second quarter ended June 30, 2021, except as follows:

 

·Semiconductor Chip Shortages: While OEMs have experienced strong consumer demand for vehicles in key markets as COVID-related restrictions have eased, the global shortage of semiconductor chips continues to negatively impact global automotive production volumes. This combination of strong sales and reduced production has resulted in low inventories of new vehicles.

 

OEMs have taken a number of actions in response to the semiconductor chip shortage, such as: unplanned shutdowns of production lines and/or plants; reductions in their vehicle production plans; and changes to their product mix. Such OEM responses can result in a number of consequences for Tier 1 suppliers like us, including: lower sales; production inefficiencies due to production lines being stopped/restarted unexpectedly based on OEMs' production priorities; premium freight costs to expedite shipments; and/or other unrecoverable costs. Additionally, Tier 1 suppliers which purchase semiconductor chips or products containing such chips may not be able to deliver applicable products to OEM customers, in which case such Tier 1 suppliers may be at risk for customer claims related to disruption of OEM production. Furthermore, Tier 1 suppliers may face price increases from sub-suppliers that have been negatively impacted by production inefficiencies, premium freight costs and/or other costs related to the semiconductor chip shortage. While we expect to recover some of the lost production volumes, it remains unclear when supply and demand for automotive semiconductor chips will rebalance and continues to be difficult to predict the full impact of the chip shortage.

·Inflationary Risks: there appears to be an increasing risk of inflationary price increases as economic activity rebounds in our primary production markets. During the second quarter, we witnessed increasing commodity costs for steel, aluminum and resin, as well as wage pressures in certain markets. These trends are expected to continue in coming quarters and could expand to other areas. The inability to offset inflationary price increases through continuous improvement actions, price increases or adjustments on our own products or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on our earnings.

 

·COVID-19: despite increasing vaccination levels, the development and spread of highly-transmissible COVID-19 variants such as the "Delta" variant creates continued risk of further disruptions to the automotive industry, including through further mandatory stay-at-home orders or other restrictions. These orders may: restrict consumers' ability to purchase vehicles; restrict production; cause elevated employee absenteeism; and lead to supply chain disruptions. Over the medium- to long-term, the pandemic may result in societal changes that impact the automotive industry, positively or negatively, including as a result of: expanded work-from-home practices that reduce consumers' reliance on vehicles; and/or increased reluctance by people to utilize modes of public transit and/or shared mobility.

 

·

Veoneer: On July 22, 2021, we entered into an agreement for the acquisition of Veoneer. The agreement includes an offer price, which if accepted, would enable us to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Veoneer for $31.25 per share in cash, representing an equity value of $3.8 billion. On August 5, 2021 an alternative bidder proposed to acquire all of Veoneer’s shares for a price that represents a premium over our offer price. In the event that our agreement to acquire Veoneer is not ultimately terminated by Veoneer in the face of the higher offer, our acquisition of Veoneer is expected to close near the end of 2021, subject to the approval of Veoneer’s stockholders, certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is not subject to any financing conditions.

 

The acquisition of Veoneer is subject to a number of risks, including those discussed in our AIF and Form 40-F in respect of the year ended December 31, 2020. Due to the emergence of an alternative bidder, there is a risk that Veoneer could ultimately terminate its agreement with us. If our agreement to acquire Veoneer is not ultimately terminated by Veoneer, the following further risks may apply: diversion of management attention to the acquisition and/or integration of Veoneer; disruption to Veoneer’s business during the time period between announcement and closing of the transaction; failure to retain key employees; inability of Veoneer to secure shareholder approval for the transaction; failure of the parties to obtain required regulatory approvals altogether or within the timeframe expected; imposition of unacceptable conditions to regulatory approval; and the initiation of litigation challenging the transaction, which could delay or defeat the merger. Additionally, Veoneer’s perception software products directly compete with software products supplied by a competitor which is an important supplier to us. Accordingly, there is a risk that such competitor may cease cooperation with us in bidding on future ADAS programs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

 

SALES

 

Sales increased 110% or $4.74 billion to $9.03 billion for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $4.29 billion for the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to higher global light vehicle production and higher assembly volumes, including:

 

·an estimated $5.5 billion negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the second quarter of 2020 partially offset by;
  
·the negative impact of production disruptions due to semiconductor chip shortages during the second quarter of 2021.

 

In addition, sales increased in the second quarter of 2021 due to:

 

·the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2020;
  
·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. sales by $500 million; and
  
·business combinations subsequent to the second quarter of 2020 which increased sales by $266 million.

 

These factors were partially offset by the end of production of certain programs and net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2020.

 

COST OF GOODS SOLD

 

   For the three months
ended June 30,
     
  

2021

   2020   Change 
Material  $5,365   $2,645   $2,720 
Direct labour   718    404    314 
Overhead   1,645    1,157    488 
Cost of goods sold  $7,728   $4,206   $3,522 

 

Cost of goods sold increased $3.52 billion to $7.73 billion for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $4.21 billion for the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to:

 

·higher material, direct labour and overhead costs associated with higher sales;
  
·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar cost of goods sold by $427 million; and
  
·business combinations subsequent to the second quarter of 2020.

 

These factors were partially offset by cost savings and operating efficiencies, including as a result of implemented restructuring actions and higher employee profit sharing and incentive compensation due to improved financial performance.

 

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

 

Depreciation and amortization increased $40 million to $374 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $334 million for the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to:

 

·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar depreciation and amortization by $22 million; and
  
·business combinations subsequent to the second quarter of 2020 which increased depreciation and amortization by $12 million.

 

4       Magna International Inc. Second Quarter Report 2021

 

  

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ["SG&A"]

 

SG&A expense increased $41 million to $419 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $378 million for the second quarter of 2020, primarily as a result of:

 

·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar SG&A expense by $24 million;
  
·higher incentive compensation and employee profit sharing due to improved financial performance;
  
·higher labour and benefit costs; and
  
·business combinations subsequent to the second quarter of 2020 which increased SG&A by $9 million.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·a favourable value-added tax settlement in Brazil during the second quarter of 2021;
  
·transactional foreign exchange gains in the second quarter of 2021 compared transactional foreign exchange losses in the second quarter of 2020; and
  
·a loss on sale of assets during the second quarter of 2020.

 

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

 

During the second quarter of 2021 we recorded net interest expense of $11 million compared to $21 million for the second quarter of 2020. The $10 million decrease is primarily as a result of interest income recognized on a favourable value-added tax settlement in Brazil during the second quarter of 2021 and higher cash balances partially offset by an increase in long-term borrowings due to the issuance of $750 million of 2.45% fixed rate Senior notes during the second quarter of 2020.

 

EQUITY INCOME

 

Equity income increased $19 million to $44 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $25 million for the second quarter of 2020, primarily as a result of earnings on higher sales at our equity-accounted operations and restructuring certain transmission joint ventures which resulted in these entities no longer being equity-accounted for.

 

OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME), NET

 

   For the three months
ended June 30,
 
   2021   2020 
Restructuring and impairments (1)  $44   $168 
Gains on investments (2)   (38)  $ 
   $6   $168 

 

(1)Restructuring and impairments

 

During the second quarter of 2021 we recorded net restructuring charges of $44 million [$31 million after tax] in our Power & Vision segment.

 

During the second quarter of 2020 we recorded restructuring and impairment charges of $115 million [$90 million after tax] in our Power & Vision segment and $37 million [$32 million after tax] in our Body Exteriors & Structures segment. Restructuring charges of $16 million [$14 million after tax] were also recorded in our Seating Systems segment.

 

(2)Gains on investments

 

During the second quarter of 2021, we recorded unrealized gains of $29 million [$22 million after tax] related to the revaluation of certain public company warrants, and $9 million [$7 million after tax] on the revaluation of certain public and private equity investments.

INCOME (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS BEFORE INCOME TAXES

 

Income from operations before income taxes was $540 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to a loss of $789 million for the second quarter of 2020. This $1.33 billion increase is a result of the following changes, each as discussed above:

 

   For the three months     
   ended June 30,     
   2021   2020   Change 
Sales  $9,034   $4,293   $4,741 
                
Costs and expenses               
Cost of goods sold  7,728    4,206    3,522 
Depreciation and amortization   374    334    40 
Selling, general & administrative   419    378    41 
Interest expense, net   11    21    (10)
Equity income   (44)   (25)   (19)
Other expense (Income), net   6    168    (162)
Income (loss) from operations before income taxes  $540   $(789)  $1,329 

 

INCOME TAXES

 

   For the three months ended June 30, 
   2021   2020 
Income Taxes as reported  $104    19.3%  $(137)   17.4%
Tax effect on Other expense (Income), net   4    0.5    32    (0.5)
   $108    19.8%  $(105)   16.9%

 

Excluding the tax effect on Other Expense (Income), net, our effective income tax rate in the second quarter of 2021 was 19.8%, which decreased from the customary tax rates primarily due to a reduction in our reserves for uncertain tax positions.

INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

 

Income attributable to non-controlling interests was $12 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to a loss attributable to non-controlling interests of $5 million for the second quarter of 2020. This $17 million change was primarily due to a $14 million increase as a result of consolidating with non-controlling interest certain transmission joint ventures that were previously equity-accounted. In addition, improved net income at our non-wholly owned operations in China contributed to this change.

 

NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.

 

Net income (loss) attributable to Magna International Inc. was income of $424 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to a loss of $647 million for the second quarter of 2020. This $1.1 billion increase was as a result of: an increase in income from operations before income taxes of $1.33 billion; partially offset by an increase in income taxes of $241 million; and an increase of $17 million in income attributable to non-controlling interests.

 

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

 

   For the three months     
   ended June 30,     
   2021   2020   Change 
Earnings (loss) per Common Share               
Basic  $1.41   $(2.17)   ¾ 
Diluted  $1.40   $(2.17)   ¾ 
                
Weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding (millions)               
Basic   301.1    298.4  +1%
Diluted   303.6    298.4   +2%
Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share  $1.40   $(1.71)  ¾ 

 

Diluted earnings per share was $1.40 for the second quarter of 2021 compared to diluted loss per share of $2.17 for the second quarter of 2020. The $3.57 increase was substantially a result of higher net income attributable to Magna International Inc., as discussed above, partially offset by an increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the second quarter of 2021. The increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding was primarily due to the exercise of stock options during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2020 and an increase in diluted shares related to stock options outstanding as a result of the increase in our share price. This increase was partially offset by the purchase and cancellation of Common Shares, during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2020, pursuant to our normal course issuer bids.

 

Other expense (Income), net, after tax, negatively impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.46 in the second quarter of 2020, as discussed in the "Other expense (Income), net" and "Income Taxes" sections above.

 

Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, as reconciled in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation" section, was earnings of $1.40 for the second quarter of 2021 compared to a loss of $1.71 in the second quarter of 2020, an increase of $3.11.

ADJUSTED EBIT AS A PERCENTAGE OF SALES

The table below shows the change in Magna's Sales and Adjusted EBIT by segment and the impact each segment's changes had on Magna's Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020:

 

           Adjusted EBIT 
       Adjusted   as a percentage 
   Sales   EBIT   of sales 
Second quarter of 2020  $4,293   $(600)  -14.0%
Increase (decrease) related to:              
Body Exteriors & Structures   2,024    542   + 9.2%
Power & Vision   1,583    429   + 7.2%
Seating Systems   642    110   + 2.2%
Complete Vehicles   557    35   + 1.2%
Corporate and Other   (65)   41   + 0.4%
Second quarter of 2021  $9,034   $557   +6.2%

 

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased to 6.2% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to -14.0% for the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to:

 

·the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter of 2020;
·cost savings and operating efficiencies, including as a result of implemented restructuring actions;
·business combinations subsequent to the second quarter of 2020;
·higher tooling contribution in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020;
·lower net application engineering costs related to three upcoming ADAS program launches;
·a favourable value-added tax settlement in Brazil during the second quarter of 2021;
·net provisions for customer claims during the second quarter of 2020; and
·transactional foreign exchange gains in the second quarter of 2021 compared to losses in the second quarter of 2020.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·the negative impact of production disruptions due to semiconductor chip shortages during the second quarter of 2021;
·higher employee profit sharing and incentive compensation due to improved financial performance;
·higher launch costs; and
·net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2020.

ADJUSTED RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL AND RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL

 

 

 

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital increased to 11.2% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to -12.5% for the second quarter of 2020 as a result of an increase in Adjusted After-tax operating profits partially offset by higher Average Invested Capital. Other expense (income), net, after tax negatively impacted Return on Invested Capital by 0.1% in the second quarter of 2021 and by 3.4% in the second quarter of 2020.

 

Average Invested Capital increased $74 million to $16.02 billion for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $15.94 billion for the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to:

 

·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar;
·business combinations subsequent to the second quarter of 2020;
·recognition of the initial value and subsequent revaluation of the vested portion of the Fisker warrants in the first and second quarters of 2021; and
·investments in and favourable revaluations of certain public and private equity investments.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·a decrease in average non-cash working capital;
·the impairment of assets recorded during the third quarter of 2020;
·average depreciation expense on fixed assets in excess of our average investment in fixed assets; and
·divestitures of assets subsequent to the second quarter of 2020.

 

RETURN ON EQUITY

 

 

 

Return on Equity was 13.8% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to -25.3% for the second quarter of 2020. This increase was due to higher net income attributable to Magna partially offset by higher average shareholders' equity. Other expense (income), net, after tax negatively impacted Return on Equity by 0.1% in the second quarter of 2021 and by 5.4% in the second quarter of 2020.

Sales – Body Exteriors & Structures

 

Sales increased 125% or $2.02 billion to $3.65 billion for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $1.62 billion for the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to:

 

·higher global light vehicle production, including an estimated $2.65 billion negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the second quarter of 2020 partially offset by the negative impact of production disruptions due to semiconductor chip shortages during the second quarter of 2021;
·the launch of programs during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2020, including the:

·          GM full-size SUV’s;

·          Ford Bronco Sport;

·          Jeep Grand Cherokee L; and

·          Ford Mustang Mach E; and

·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar sales by $173 million.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·the end of production of certain programs; and
·net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2020.

·earnings on higher sales;
·cost savings and operating efficiencies, including as a result of implemented restructuring actions;
·higher tooling contribution in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020;
·net provisions for customer claims during the second quarter of 2020;
·lower transactional foreign exchange losses in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020;
·a favourable value-added tax settlement in Brazil during the second quarter of 2021; and

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·higher employee profit sharing and incentive compensation due to improved financial performance;
·higher launch costs;
·the negative impact of incremental labour costs due to a change in Mexico labour law introduced during the second quarter of 2021; and
·net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales – Seating Systems

 

The negative impact of production disruptions due to semiconductor chip shortages during the second quarter of 2021, was more pronounced in Seating Systems compared to our other reporting segments due to the mix of programs impacted. Adjusted EBIT increased $110 million to $26 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to a loss of $84 million for the second quarter of 2020 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased 18.2% to 2.2% primarily as a result of:

 

·earnings on higher sales;
·productivity and efficiency improvements at an underperforming facility;
·favourable commercial settlements during the second quarter of 2021; and
·a favourable value-added tax settlement in Brazil during the second quarter of 2021.

 

These factors were partially offset by higher launch costs, higher employee profit sharing and incentive compensation due to improved financial performance and net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2020.

Sales – Complete Vehicles

 

Sales increased 60% or $557 million to $1.49 billion for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $933 million for the second quarter of 2020 and assembly volumes increased 76%. The increase in sales is primarily as a result of higher assembly volumes, including an estimated $400 million negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the second quarter of 2020 partially offset by the negative impact of production disruptions due to semiconductor chip shortages during the second quarter of 2021. In addition, sales were positively impacted by a $126 million increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.

 

 

 

Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales – Complete Vehicles

 

Adjusted EBIT increased $35 million to $79 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $44 million for the second quarter of 2020 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased 0.6% to 5.3% primarily as a result of:

 

·higher earnings due to higher assembly volumes, net of contractual fixed cost recoveries on certain programs;
·higher margins on engineering programs; and
·the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar had a favourable $7 million impact on reported U.S. dollar Adjusted EBIT.

 

These factors were partially offset by higher employee profit sharing and incentive compensation due to improved financial performance and net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2020.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

 

Adjusted EBIT was $22 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to a loss of $19 million for the second quarter of 2020. The $41 million improvement was primarily the result of:

 

·an increase in fees received from our divisions;
·amortization related to the initial value of the vested portion of the Fisker warrants; and
·a loss on sale of assets during the second quarter of 2020.

 

These factors were partially offset by higher incentive compensation and employee profit sharing due to improved financial performance.

Adjusted EBIT increased $65 million to $159 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $94 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased 0.6% to 4.8% primarily as a result of:

 

·higher earnings due to higher assembly volumes, net of contractual fixed cost recoveries on certain programs;
·higher margins on engineering programs; and
·the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar had a favourable $13 million impact on reported U.S. dollar Adjusted EBIT.

 

These factors were partially offset by a favourable engineering program resolution in the first quarter of 2020 and higher employee profit sharing and incentive compensation due to improved financial performance.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

 

Adjusted EBIT was $33 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a loss of $40 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The $73 million improvement was primarily the result of:

 

·an increase in fees received from our divisions;
·transactional foreign exchange gains in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to transactional foreign exchange losses in the six months ended June 30, 2020;
·amortization related to the initial value of the vested portion of the Fisker warrants; and
·a loss on sale of assets during the first six months of 2020.

 

These factors were partially offset by higher incentive compensation and employee profit sharing due to improved financial performance.

ADJUSTED EBIT AS A PERCENTAGE OF SALES

 

 

 

The table below shows the change in Magna's Sales and Adjusted EBIT by segment and the impact each segment's changes have on Magna's Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020:

 

           Adjusted EBIT 
       Adjusted   as a percentage 
   Sales   EBIT   of sales 
Six months ended June 30, 2020  $12,950   $(197)   -1.5%
Increase related to:               
Body Exteriors & Structures   2,373    670    +3.7%
Power & Vision   2,216    591    +3.2%
Seating Systems   684    125    +0.7%
Complete Vehicles   1,086    65    +0.4%
Corporate and Other   (96)   73    +0.4%
Six months ended June 30, 2021  $19,213   $1,327   +6.9%

 

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased to 6.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to -1.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to:

 

·the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the six months ended June 30, 2020;
·cost savings and operating efficiencies, including as a result of implemented restructuring actions;
·lower net application engineering costs related to three upcoming ADAS program launches;
·higher tooling contribution in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020; and
·business combinations subsequent to the first six months of 2020 which positively impacted earnings.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·the negative impact of production disruptions due to semiconductor chip shortages during the first six months of 2021;
·higher employee profit sharing and incentive compensation due to improved financial performance;
·higher launch costs;
·a favourable engineering program resolution in the first quarter of 2020 in our Complete Vehicle segment; and
·net customer price concessions subsequent to the first six months of 2020.

RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL

 

 

 

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital increased to 13.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to -3.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of an increase in Adjusted After-tax operating profits and lower Average Invested Capital. Other expense (income), net, after tax positively impacted Return on Invested Capital by 0.6% in the first six months of 2021 and negatively impacted Return on Invested Capital by 1.7% in the first six months of 2020.

 

Average Invested Capital decreased $89 million to $15.87 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $15.96 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to:

 

·a decrease in average non-cash working capital;
·the impairment of assets recorded during the third quarter of 2020;
·average depreciation expense on fixed assets in excess of our average investment in fixed assets; and
·divestitures of assets subsequent to the second quarter of 2020.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar;
·business combinations subsequent to the first six months of 2020;
·investments in and favourable revaluations of certain public and private equity investments; and
·recognition of the initial value and subsequent revaluation of the vested portion of the Fisker warrants in the first and second quarters of 2021.

 

RETURN ON EQUITY

 

 

 

Return on Equity was 17.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to -7.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was due to higher net income attributable to Magna, partially offset by higher average shareholders' equity. Other expense (income), net, after tax negatively impacted Return on Equity by 0.8% in the first six months of 2021 and positively impacted Return on Equity by 2.6% in the first six months of 2020.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

DIVESTITURE

 

On May 17, 2021 we signed an agreement to sell three Body Exteriors & Structures operations in Germany. As at June 30, 2021, these operations had net assets of $27 million (primarily comprised of non-cash working capital and operating lease assets and liabilities). Under the terms of the arrangement, which closed on July 3, 2021, we will provide the buyer with $39 million of funding, subject to working capital adjustments, and as a result record a loss on disposal of approximately $75 million.

 

VEONEER, INC.

 

On July 22, 2021, we entered into an agreement for the acquisition of Veoneer, Inc. ["Veoneer"], a leader in automotive safety technology. The agreement includes an offer price, which if accepted, would enable us to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Veoneer for $31.25 per share in cash, representing an equity value of $3.8 billion. On August 5, 2021, an alternative bidder proposed to acquire all of Veoneer’s shares for a price that represents a premium over our offer price. In the event that our agreement to acquire Veoneer is not ultimately terminated by Veoneer in the face of the higher offer, our acquisition of Veoneer is expected to close near the end of 2021, subject to the approval of Veoneer’s stockholders, certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

 

LG ELECTRONICS INC. JOINT VENTURE

 

On July 28, 2021, we formed a new joint venture with LG Electronics ["LG"] within our Power & Vision segment to manufacture e-motors, inverters, on board chargers and, for certain automakers, related e-drive systems.  Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired a 49% non-controlling ownership interest in the new entity for cash consideration of $453 million. 

 

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

From time to time, we may be contingently liable for litigation, legal and/or regulatory actions and proceedings and other claims. Refer to Note 14, "Contingencies" of our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which describes these claims.

 

For a discussion of risk factors relating to legal and other claims/actions against us, refer to "Item 5. Risk Factors" in our Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 40-F, each in respect of the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

12.Financial instruments (CONTINUED)

 

[c]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, accounts receivable 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.]

 

Warrants

 

The Company estimates the value of its warrants based on the quoted prices in the active market for Fisker's common shares. [Level 2 inputs based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy.]

 

Term debt

 

The Company's term debt includes $117 million due within one year. Due to the short period to maturity of this debt, the carrying value as presented in the consolidated balance sheets is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.

 

Senior Notes

 

The fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes are classified as Level 1 when quoted prices in active markets are used and Level 2 when the quoted prices are from less active markets or when other observable inputs are used to determine fair value. At June 30, 2021, the net book value of the Company's Senior Notes was $3.9 billion and the estimated fair value was $4.1 billion.

 

[d]Credit risk

 

The Company's financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and foreign exchange forward contracts with positive fair values.

 

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

 

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.

12.Financial instruments (CONTINUED)

 

[d]Credit risk (continued)

 

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 three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, sales to the Company's six largest customers represented 78% of the Company's sales, and substantially all of the Company's sales are to customers with which it has ongoing contractual relationships. In determining the allowance for expected credit losses, the Company considers changes in customer's credit ratings, liquidity, customer’s historical payments and loss experience, current economic conditions, and the Company's expectations of future economic conditions. 

 

[e]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.

 

[f]Currency risk and foreign exchange contracts

 

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when manufacturing facilities have committed to the delivery of products, and/or the purchase of materials and equipment 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.

 

At June 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts representing commitments to buy and sell various foreign currencies. Significant commitments are as follows:

Forward contracts mature at various dates through 2025. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed quarterly.

 

[g]Equity price risk

 

Public equity securities and warrants

 

The Company's public equity securities and warrants are subject to market price risk due to the risk of loss in value that would result from a decline in the market price of the common shares or underlying common shares.

13.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, had 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.

 

The Company's policy is to comply with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. Based on a previously completed global review of legacy antitrust risks which led to a September 2020 settlement with the European Commission where Magna received full immunity regarding two separate bilateral cartels involving the supply of closure systems, Magna does not currently anticipate any material liabilities. However, we could be subject to restitution settlements, civil proceedings, reputational damage and other consequences, including as a result of the matters specifically referred to above.

 

[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 8].

14.Segmented Information

 

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 (loss) and adding back income taxes, interest expense, net, and other expense (income), net.

15.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Divestiture

 

On May 17, 2021 the Company signed an agreement to sell three Body Exteriors & Structures operations in Germany. As at June 30, 2021, these operations had net assets of $27 million (primarily comprised of non-cash working capital and operating lease assets and liabilities). Under the terms of the arrangement, which closed on July 3, 2021, the Company will provide the buyer with $39 million of funding, subject to working capital adjustments, and as a result record a loss on disposal of approximately $75 million.

 

Veoneer, Inc.

 

On July 22, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement for the acquisition of Veoneer, Inc. ["Veoneer"], a leader in automotive safety technology. The agreement includes an offer price, which if accepted, would enable the Company to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Veoneer for $31.25 per share in cash, representing an equity value of $3.8 billion. On August 5, 2021, an alternative bidder proposed to acquire all of Veoneer’s shares for a price that represents a premium over our offer price. In the event that the Company’s agreement to acquire Veoneer is not ultimately terminated by Veoneer in the face of the higher offer, our acquisition of Veoneer is expected to close near the end of 2021, subject to the approval of Veoneer’s stockholders, certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

 

LG Electronics Inc. Joint Venture

 

On July 28, 2021, the Company formed a new joint venture with LG Electronics (“LG”) within its Power & Vision segment to manufacture e-motors, inverters, on board chargers and, for certain automakers, related e-drive systems.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired a 49% non-controlling ownership interest in the new entity for cash consideration of $453 million.
