HIGHLIGHTS

 

Comparing the third quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2022:

 

·Global light vehicle production rose 4%, including increases of 7% and 14% in North America and Europe, respectively, and a 2% decline in China.
·Total sales increased 15% to $10.7 billion, largely reflecting higher global production, the launch of new programs, the acquisition of Veoneer Active Safety ["Veoneer AS"] in the second quarter of 2023 and the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.  These were partially offset by lower sales associated with the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America ["UAW"] labour strike and lower assembly sales as our Complete Vehicles business undergoes a program changeover.
·Diluted earnings per share were $1.37 and Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) increased 33% or $0.36 to $1.46 primarily due to contribution on higher sales, the impact of operational excellence and cost initiatives and lower net input costs, partially offset by commercial items in the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, which had a net unfavourable impact on a year over year basis, acquisitions, net of divestitures, subsequent to the third quarter of 2022 and lost contribution on lower sales associated with the UAW labour strike.
·Cash from operating activities increased $559 million to $797 million.

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.

 

Ordinarily, OEM production volumes are 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 and infrastructure; availability and relative cost of skilled labour; regulatory considerations, including those related to environmental emissions and safety standards; and other factors.

 

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.

 

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 new mobility business models/"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 revised Annual Information Form ["AIF"] and Annual Report on Form 40-F / 40-F/A ["Form 40-F"] in respect of the year ended December 31, 2022, together with subsequent filings. Those industry trends and risk factors remain substantially unchanged in respect of the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, except that three of our largest customers – General Motors, Stellantis and Ford – experienced labour disruptions at certain of their respective operations in the U.S. during and subsequent to the quarter. The UAW commenced targeted strikes on September 15, 2023, with subsequent escalations increasing the number of OEM customer facilities affected. Although each of Ford, General Motors and Stellantis has negotiated a collective bargaining agreement with the UAW, such agreements remain subject to retification by union members. The failure of UAW members to ratify a collective bargaining agreement followed by extended labour disruptions and lost production could have a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability.

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 before interest and taxes ["Adjusted EBIT"], Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, Return on Invested Capital, and Adjusted Return on Invested Capital [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 is useful to both management and investors in their analysis of our results of operations reflects our ability to generate returns. Similarly, we believe that Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales, Adjusted diluted 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.

 

Effective July 1, 2023 we revised our calculations of Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and Adjusted Return on Invested Capital to exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets. The historical presentation of these Non-GAAP measures within this MD&A has also been updated to reflect the revised calculations. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation" section of this MD&A for further information.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

AVERAGE FOREIGN EXCHANGE

 

   For the three months   For the nine months 
   ended September 30,   ended September 30, 
   2023   2022   Change   2023   2022   Change 
1 Canadian dollar equals U.S. dollars   0.746    0.765   -2%   0.744    0.779   -4%
1 euro equals U.S. dollars   1.088    1.006   +     8%   1.083    1.064   +    2%
1 Chinese renminbi equals U.S. dollars   0.138    0.146   -5%   0.142    0.152   -7%

  

The preceding table reflects the average foreign exchange rates between the most common currencies in which we conduct business and our U.S. dollar reporting currency.

 

The results of operations for which the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates for the relevant period. Throughout this MD&A, reference is made to the impact of translation of foreign operations on reported U.S. dollar amounts where relevant.

 

Our results can also be affected by the impact of movements in exchange rates on foreign currency transactions (such as raw material purchases or sales denominated in foreign currencies). However, as a result of hedging programs employed by us, foreign currency transactions in the current period have not been fully impacted by movements in exchange rates. We record foreign currency transactions at the hedged rate where applicable.

 

Finally, foreign exchange gains and losses on revaluation and/or settlement of monetary items denominated in a currency other than an operation's functional currency impact reported results. These gains and losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense.

 

LIGHT VEHICLE PRODUCTION VOLUMES

 

Our operating results are mostly dependent on light vehicle production in the regions reflected in the table below:

 

Light Vehicle Production Volumes (thousands of units)

 

   For the three months   For the nine months 
   ended September 30,   ended September 30, 
   2023   2022   Change   2023   2022   Change 
North America   3,874    3,607   +7%   11,842    10,779   +10%
Europe   4,088    3,593   +14%   13,263    11,593   +14%
China   7,108    7,230   -2%   19,865    19,082   +4%
Other   6,867    6,710   +2%   20,688    19,168   +8%
Global   21,937    21,140   +4%   65,658    60,622   +8%

 

Overall, global light vehicle production increased 4% over the third quarter of 2022. This increase largely reflects the rebalancing of supply chains in 2023 compared to the significant industry production disruptions during 2022 caused by global semiconductor chip shortages.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

 

SALES

 

 

Sales increased 15% or $1.42 billion to $10.69 billion for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $9.27 billion for the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to:

 

·the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2022;
·higher global light vehicle production;
·acquisitions, net of divestitures, subsequent to the third quarter of 2022, which increased sales by $379 million;
·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar sales by $155 million; and
·customer price increases to recover certain higher production input costs.

 

These factors were partially offset by the negative impact of lost vehicle production as a result of the UAW labour strike at certain customers during the third quarter of 2023, which decreased sales by approximately $50 million and net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of 2022.

 

COST OF GOODS SOLD

 

   For the three months     
   ended September 30,     
   2023   2022   Change 
Material  $6,512   $5,732   $780 
Direct labour   745    676    69 
Overhead   2,007    1,718    289 
Cost of goods sold  $9,264   $8,126   $1,138 

 

Cost of goods sold increased $1.14 billion to $9.26 billion for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $8.13 billion for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to:

 

·higher material, direct labour and overhead associated with higher sales;
·acquisitions, net of divestitures, subsequent to the third quarter of 2022;
·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar costs of goods sold by $150 million;
·commercial items in the third quarters of 2023 and 2022, which had a net unfavourable impact on a year over year basis;
·higher launch, engineering and other costs associated with the launch of new assembly business; and
·higher net prodcution input costs, including for labour, partially offset by lower prices for commodities and energy.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·productivity and efficiency improvements, including lower costs at certain previously underperforming facilities;
·the negative impact of the UAW labour strike at certain customers during the third quarter of 2023; and
·the impact of operational excellence and cost initiatives.

 

DEPRECIATION

 

Depreciation increased $28 million to $358 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $330 million for the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to increased capital deployed at new and existing facilities to support the launch of programs, acquisitions, net of divestitures, subsequent to the third quarter of 2022, and the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar depreciation by $7 million, partially offset by the end of production of certain programs.

 

 Magna International Inc. Third Quarter Report 2023      5

 

 

AMORTIZATION OF ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Amortization of acquired intangible assets increased $21 million to $32 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $11 million for the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to the acquisition of Veoneer AS during the second quarter of 2023.

 

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

 

SG&A expense increased $104 million to $491 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $387 million for the third quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of:

 

·acquisitions, net of divestitures, subsequent to the third quarter of 2022;
·higher labour and benefit costs;
·higher incentive compensation;
·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased SG&A by $5 million; and
·higher costs to accelerate our operational excellence initiatives.

 

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

 

During the third quarter of 2023, we recorded net interest expense of $49 million compared to $18 million for the third quarter of 2022. The $31 million increase is primarily a result of interest expense on the $1.6 billion of Senior Notes issued during the first quarter of 2023, higher interest expense due to an increase in borrowings, and higher interest rates.

 

EQUITY INCOME

 

Equity income increased $13 million to $40 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $27 million for the third quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of earnings on higher sales at certain equity-accounted entities and commercial items in the third quarters of 2023 and 2022, which had a net favourable impact on a year over year basis partially offset by higher launch costs.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS BEFORE INCOME TAXES

 

Income from operations before income taxes was $538 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $400 million for the third quarter of 2022. This $138 million increase is a result of the following changes, each as discussed above:

 

   For the three months     
   ended September 30,     
   2023   2022   Change 
Sales  $10,688   $9,268   $1,420 
                
Costs and expenses               
Cost of goods sold   9,264    8,126    1,138 
Depreciation   358    330    28 
Amortization of acquired intangible assets   32    11    21 
Selling, general and administrative   491    387    104 
Interest expense, net   49    18    31 
Equity income   (40)   (27)   (13)
Other (income) expense, net   (4)   23    (27)
Income from operations before income taxes  $538   $400   $138 

 

INCOME TAXES

 

   For the three months ended September 30, 
   2023   2022 
Income Taxes as reported  $121    22.5%  $104    26.0%
Tax effect on Other (income) expense, net and                    
Amortization of acquired intangible assets   3    (0.6)   6    (0.7)
   $124    21.9%  $110    25.3%

 

Excluding the tax effect on Other (income) expense, net, and Amortization of acquired intangible assets, our effective income tax rate decreased to 21.9% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 25.3% for the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to lower losses not benefitted in Europe and lower accrued tax on undistributed foreign earnings. These factors were partially offset by lower favourable changes in our reserves for uncertain tax positions.

 

INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

 

Income attributable to non-controlling interests was $23 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $7 million for the third quarter of 2022. This $16 million increase was primarily due to higher net income at our non-wholly owned operations in China.

 

 Magna International Inc. Third Quarter Report 2023      7

 

 

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.

 

Net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $394 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $289 million for the third quarter of 2022. This $105 million increase was as a result of: an increase in income from operations before income taxes of $138 million; partially offset by an increase in income taxes of $17 million; and an increase of $16 million in income attributable to non-controlling interests.

 

EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

 

   For the three months     
   ended September 30,     
   2023   2022   Change 
Earnings per Common Share            
Basic  $1.37   $1.01  +36%
Diluted  $1.37   $1.00  +37%
Weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding (millions)               
Basic   286.3    287.9   -1%
Diluted   286.8    288.5   -1%
Adjusted diluted earnings per share  $1.46   $1.10   +33%

 

Diluted earnings per share was $1.37 for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $1.00 for the third quarter of 2022. The $0.37 increase was as a result of higher net income attributable to Magna International Inc., as discussed above, and a decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the third quarter of 2023. The decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding was primarily due to the purchase and cancellation of Common Shares, during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2022, pursuant to our normal course issuer bids.

 

Other (income) expense, net, after tax, and Amortization of acquired intangible assets, after tax, negatively impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.09 in the third quarter of 2023 and $0.10 in the third quarter of 2022, respectively, as discussed in the "Other (income) expense, net", "Amortization of acquired intangible assets", and "Income Taxes" sections above. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, as reconciled in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation" section, was $1.46 for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $1.10 in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $0.36.

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 third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022:

 

             Adjusted EBIT 
         Adjusted   as a percentage 
   Sales   EBIT   of sales 
Third quarter of 2022  $9,268   $452    4.9%
Increase (decrease) related to:               
Body Exteriors & Structures   378    131   +1.1%
Power & Vision   834    97   +0.5%
Seating Systems   234    33   +0.2%
Complete Vehicles   (28)   (70)  -0.6%
Corporate and Other   2    (28)  -0.3%
Third quarter of 2023  $10,688   $615    5.8%

 

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased to 5.8% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 4.9% for the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to:

 

·earnings on higher sales including higher margins as a result of the impact of operational excellence and cost initiatives;

·higher customer recoveries net of production input costs, including for energy and commodities, partially offset by higher prices for labour;

·productivity and efficiency improvements, including lower costs at certain previously underperforming facilities;

·lower net warranty costs; and

·lower net engineering costs including spending related to our electrification and active safety businesses.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·commercial items in the third quarters of 2023 and 2022, which had a net unfavourable impact on a year over year basis;

·acquisitions, net of divestitures, subsequent to the third quarter of 2022;

·lower amortization related to the initial value of public company securities;

·higher launch, engineering and other costs associated with the launch of new assembly business; and

·the negative impact of the UAW labour strike at certain customers during the third quarter of 2023.

ADJUSTED RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL AND RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL

 

 

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital increased to 10.3% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 8.6% for the third quarter of 2022 as a result of an increase in Adjusted After-tax operating profits partially offset by higher Average Invested Capital. Other (income) expense, net, after tax and Amortization of acquired intangible assets, after tax negatively impacted Return on Invested Capital by 0.5% in the third quarter of 2023 and by 0.7% in the third quarter of 2022.

 

Average Invested Capital increased $3.02 billion to $18.64 billion for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $15.62 billion for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to:

 

·acquisitions, net of divestitures, during and subsequent to the third quarter of 2022;

·average investment in fixed assets in excess of our average depreciation expense on fixed assets;

·an increase in average operating assets and liabilities; and

·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.

 

These factors were partially offset by lower net investments and the impairment of our Russian assets recorded during the second quarter of 2022.

Sales – Body Exteriors & Structures

 

Sales increased 10% or $378 million to $4.35 billion for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $3.98 billion for the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to:

 

·the launch of programs during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2022, including the:

·Jeep Grand Cherokee;

·GMC Hummer EV SUV;

·Ford F-Series Super Duty; and

·BMW X1 & iX1;

·higher global light vehicle production;

·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar sales by $32 million; and

·customer price increases to recover certain higher production input costs.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·the negative impact of lost vehicle production as a result of the UAW labour strike at certain customers during the third quarter of 2023, which negatively impacted sales by approximately $35 million; and

·net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales – Body Exteriors & Structures

 

Adjusted EBIT increased $131 million to $358 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $227 million for the third quarter of 2022 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased to 8.2% from 5.7%. These increases were primarily as a result of earnings on higher sales including higher margins due to the impact of operational excellence and cost initiatives. Other factors positively impacting Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales include:

 

·higher customer recoveries net of production input costs, including for energy and commodities, partially offset by higher prices for labour; and

·productivity and efficiency improvements, including lower costs at certain previously underperforming facilities.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·commercial items in the third quarters of 2023 and 2022, which had a net unfavourable impact on a year over year basis;

·the negative impact of the UAW labour strike during the third quarter of 2023; and

·the net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which had a $4 million unfavourable impact on reported U.S. dollar Adjusted EBIT.

Sales – Power & Vision

 

Sales increased 29% or $834 million to $3.75 billion for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $2.91 billion for the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to:

 

·acquisitions, net of divestitures, subsequent to the third quarter of 2022, which increased sales by $380 million;

·the launch of programs during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2022, including the:

·BMW X1 & iX1;

·Chery Arrizo 8;

·Fisker Ocean; and

·Chevrolet Equinox & Blazer;

·higher global light vehicle production;

·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar sales by $43 million; and

·customer price increases to recover certain higher production input costs.

 

These factors were partially offset by net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales – Power & Vision

 

Adjusted EBIT increased $97 million to $221 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $124 million for the third quarter of 2022 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased to 5.9% from 4.3%. These increases were primarily as a result of earnings on higher sales including higher margins due to the impact of operational excellence and cost initiatives. Other factors positively impacting Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales include:

 

·higher customer recoveries net of production input costs, including for commodities, energy, and freight, partially offset by higher prices for labour;

·lower net warranty costs of $18 million;

·higher equity income;

·lower net engineering costs including spending related to our electrification and active safety businesses; and

·cost savings and efficiencies realized, including as a result of restructuring actions taken.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·acquisitions, net of divestitures, subsequent to the third quarter of 2022;

·commercial items in the third quarters of 2023 and 2022, which had a net unfavourable impact on a year over year basis; and

·the net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which had a $5 million unfavourable impact on reported U.S. dollar Adjusted EBIT.

·Jeep Grand Cherokee;

·Changan Shenlan S7;

·Geely Galaxy L7; and

·BMW XM; and

·customer price increases to recover certain higher production input costs.

 

These factors were partially offset by net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of 2022.

Sales – Complete Vehicles

 

Sales decreased 2% or $28 million to $1.19 billion for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $1.21 billion for the third quarter of 2022 while assembly volumes decreased 11%. The decrease in sales is primarily a result of unfavourable program mix and lower assembly volumes which are partially offset by a $87 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 decreased $70 million to a loss of $5 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to income of $65 million for the third quarter of 2022 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales decreased to -0.4% from 5.4%. These decreases were primarily due to:

 

·commercial items in the third quarters of 2023 and 2022, which had a net unfavourable impact on a year over year basis;

·higher launch, engineering and other costs associated with the launch of new assembly business; and

·lower earnings on lower assembly volumes, net of contractual fixed cost recoveries on certain programs.

 

CORPORATE AND OTHER

 

Adjusted EBIT was a loss of $29 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to a loss of $1 million for the third quarter of 2022. The $28 million decrease was primarily the result of:

 

·lower amortization related to the initial value of public company securities;

·higher net transactional foreign exchange losses;

·higher investments in research, development and new mobility;

·higher incentive compensation; and

·higher labour and benefit costs.

 

These factors were partially offset by an increase in fees received from our divisions.

Cash provided from operating activities  $797   $238   $559 

 

Cash provided from operating activities

 

Comparing the third quarter of 2023 to 2022, cash provided from operating activities increased $559 million primarily as a result of:

 

·a $1.99 billion increase in cash received from customers;

·a $136 million decrease in cash taxes; and

·higher dividends received from equity investments of $28 million.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·a $1.25 billion increase in cash paid for materials and overhead;

·a $305 million increase in cash paid for labour; and

·a $45 million increase in cash interest paid.

 

Changes in operating assets and liabilities

 

During the third quarter of 2023, we used $24 million for operating assets and liabilities primarily consisting of:

 

·a $130 million increase in production inventory due to a combination of volume increases, the UAW labour strike and safety stock builds;

·a $105 million increase in tooling investment for current and upcoming program launches; and

·a $14 million decrease in other accrued liabilities.

 

These uses of cash were partially offset by:

 

·a $66 million decrease in cash taxes paid;

·a $60 million increase in accrued wages and salaries, primarily related to bonuses and profit sharing that are paid annually;

·a $40 million increase in accounts payable;

·a $35 million decrease in production and other receivables; and

·a $25 million decrease in prepaids and other.

   $7,208   $5,073   $2,135 

 

Financial liabilities increased $2.14 billion to $7.21 billion as at September 30, 2023 primarily as a result of the $1.64 billion issuance of Senior Notes during the first quarter of 2023 and the $400 million increase in the Term Loan.

 

CASH RESOURCES

 

In the third quarter of 2023, our cash resources decreased by $0.3 billion to $1.0 billion, primarily as a result of cash used for investing and financing activities partially offset by cash provided from operating activities, as discussed above. In addition to our cash resources at September 30, 2023, we had term and operating lines of credit totaling $4.1 billion, of which $3.5 billion was unused and available.

 

On March 6, 2023, we entered into a Term Loan with a 3-year tranche of $800 million and a 5-year tranche of $600 million. During the second quarter of 2023, we drew $100 million from the 3-yr tranche and $300 million from the 5-year tranche. The remaining balance of the facility was subsequently cancelled.

 

On April 27, 2023, we amended our $2.7 billion syndicated revolving credit facility, including to: (i) extend the maturity date from June 24, 2027 to June 24, 2028, and (ii) cancel the $150 million Asian tranche and allocate the equivalent amount to the Canadian tranche. As of September, 30, 2023, we have had limited borrowing under this credit facility.

 

On May 26, 2023, we extended the maturity date of our $800 million 364-day syndicated revolving credit facility from June 24, 2023 to June 24, 2024. As of September 30, 2023, we have not borrowed any funds under this credit facility.

Sales increased 11% or $1.33 billion to $13.33 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $12.00 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to:

 

·the launch of programs during or subsequent to the first nine months of 2022, including the:

·Jeep Grand Cherokee;
·Rivian R1T & R1S;
·Honda CR-V; and
·Ford F-Series Super Duty;

·higher global light vehicle production; and
·customer price increases to recover certain higher production input costs.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·the net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which decreased reported U.S. dollar sales by $148 million;
·lower sales as a result of the substantial idling of our Russian facilities; and
·net customer price concessions subsequent to the first nine months of 2022.

These increases were primarily as a result of earnings on higher sales including higher margins due to the impact of operational excellence and cost initiatives. Other factors positively impacting Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales include:

 

·higher customer recoveries net of production input costs, including for energy, partially offset by higher prices for labour and commodities;
·commercial items in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, which had a net favourable impact on a year over year basis; and
·productivity and efficiency improvements, including lower costs at certain previously underperforming facilities.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
·higher launch costs; and

·BMW X1 & iX1;
·Chery Arrizo 8;
·Chery Tiggo 9; and
·Fisker Ocean;

·acquisitions, net of divestitures, subsequent to the first nine months of 2022, which increased sales by $447 million;
·higher global light vehicle production; and
·customer price increases to recover certain higher production input costs.

 

These factors were partially offset by the net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which decreased reported U.S. dollar sales by $106 million and net customer price concessions subsequent to the first nine months of 2022.

Adjusted EBIT was higher primarily as a result of earnings on higher sales including higher margins due the impact of operational excellence and cost initiatives. Excluding this factor, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales were lower primarily due to:

 

·commercial items in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, which had a net unfavourable impact on a year over year basis;
·acquisitions, net of divestitures, subsequent to the first nine months of 2022;
·the net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which had a $20 million unfavourable impact on reported U.S. dollar Adjusted EBIT;
·higher net engineering costs including spending related to our electrification and active safety businesses; and
·higher net warranty costs of $9 million.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·higher equity income; and

Adjusted EBIT was a loss of $36 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to income of $35 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $71 million decrease was primarily the result of:

 

·lower amortization related to the initial value of public company securities;
·higher incentive compensation;
·higher investments in research, development and new mobility;
·higher labour and benefit costs; and
·higher costs to accelerate our operational excellence initiatives.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

ADJUSTED RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL AND RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL

 

 

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital increased to 10.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 8.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of an increase in Adjusted After-tax operating profits partially offset by higher Average Invested Capital. Other (income) expense, net, after tax, Amortization of acquired intangible assets, after tax and Adjustments to Deferred Tax Valuation Allowances negatively impacted Return on Invested Capital by 1.8% in the first nine months of 2023 and by 3.9% in the first nine months of 2022.

 

Average Invested Capital increased $1.58 billion to $17.48 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $15.90 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to:

 

·acquisitions, net of divestitures, during and subsequent to the first nine months of 2022;
·average investment in fixed assets in excess of our average depreciation expense on fixed assets; and
·an increase in average operating assets and liabilities.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·the net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar;
·the impairment of our Russian assets recorded during the second quarter of 2022; and
·lower net investments.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION

 

Effective July 1, 2023, we revised our calculations of Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and Adjusted Return on Invested Capital to exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets. Revenue generated from acquired intangible assets is included within revenue in determining net income attributable to Magna. We believe that excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets from these Non-GAAP measures helps management and investors in understanding our underlying performance and improves comparability between our segmented results of operations and our peers.

 

The historical presentation of these Non-GAAP measures within this MD&A has also been updated to reflect the revised calculations.

 

The reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures is as follows:

1.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

[a]Basis of presentation

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Magna International Inc. and its subsidiaries [collectively "Magna" or the "Company"] have been prepared in U.S. dollars following accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ["GAAP"]. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2022 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2022 Annual Report.

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as at September 30, 2023 and the results of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, $11 million and $35 million has been reclassified from Depreciation and amortization to Amortization of acquired intangible assets on the consolidated statements of income to conform with current period presentation.

 

[b]Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results could ultimately differ from those estimates.

The dilutive effect of participating securities using the two-class method was excluded from the calculation of earnings per share because the effect would be immaterial.

5.BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

On June 1, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the common shares and voting interests of the entities holding the Veoneer AS. Veoneer AS supplies active safety products globally including active safety integration systems, radar, camera systems, internal cabin sensing, thermal sensing, and light detection. The purchase price was $1,475 million [net of $111 million cash acquired] and is subject to working capital and other customary purchase price adjustments.

 

The acquisition of Veoneer AS was accounted for as a business combination and is recorded in the Company’s Power & Vision segment. The Company recorded a purchase price allocation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of June 1, 2023. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation:

 

Non-cash working capital  $170 
Fixed assets   204 
Other assets   79 
Intangible assets   395 
Goodwill   728 
Other liabilities   (84)
Deferred tax liabilities   (17)
Net cash outflow  $1,475 

 

The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on the Company’s preliminary estimates and assumptions. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change within the measurement period and will be subsequently adjusted to reflect final valuation results and other adjustments, primarily related to measurement of fixed assets, and identification and measurement of intangible assets and goodwill.

 

Recognized goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce, expected synergies and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition.

10.DEBT

 

[a]During the second quarter of 2023, the Company drew $100 million from the 3-year tranche and $300 million from the 5-year tranche of its unsecured, delayed draw term loan (the “Term Loan”). The remaining balance of the facility was subsequently cancelled. The amounts are drawn in advances of 1,3 or 6-month loans and may be rolled over until the end of the 3 and 5 year terms.

 

[b]On May 26, 2023, the Company extended the maturity date from June 24, 2023 to June 24, 2024 of its $800 million 364-day syndicated revolving credit facility. The Company had not borrowed any funds under this credit facility.

 

[c]On April 27, 2023, the Company amended its $2.7 billion syndicated revolving credit facility, including to: (i) extend the maturity date from June 24, 2027 to June 24, 2028, and (ii) cancel the $150 million Asian tranche and allocate the equivalent amount to the Canadian tranche. The Company had limited borrowing under this credit facility.

 

[d]During the first quarter of 2023, the Company issued the following Senior Notes:

 

    Issuance Date   Amount in USD at

Cdn$350 million Senior Notes at 4.950% [i]   March 10, 2023   $258 million   January 31, 2031

The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations and do not include any financial covenants. The Company may redeem the notes in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time, at specified redemption prices determined in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes.

 

[i]The Cdn$350 million Senior Notes, $300 million Senior Notes, and $500 million Senior Notes were issued to both finance a portion of the cost of the acquisition of Veoneer AS and to pay related fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes.

 

[ii]The €550 million Senior Notes were issued for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of the Company’s existing indebtedness of €550 million in Senior Notes coming due in November 2023.

11.INCOME TAX

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s effective income tax rate does not reflect the customary rate due to losses not benefited in Europe. The nine-month rate is also adversely affected by impairment charges offset by a partial release of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets resulting from a tax reorganization.

 

12.CAPITAL STOCK

 

[a]During the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 0.2 million shares under a normal course issuer bid for cash consideration of $11 million to settle certain equity compensation plans.

 

[b]The following table presents the maximum number of shares that would be outstanding if all the dilutive instruments outstanding at November 3, 2023 were exercised or converted:

 

Common Shares   286,361,423 
Stock options [i]   6,132,439 
    292,493,862 

 

[i]Options to purchase Common Shares are exercisable by the holder in accordance with the vesting provisions and upon payment of the exercise price as may be determined from time to time pursuant to the Company's stock option plans.

[b]Supplier financing program

 

The Company has a supplier financing program with third-party financial institutions that provides financing to suppliers who provide tooling related materials. This arrangement allows these suppliers to elect to be paid by a financial institution at a discount earlier than the maturity date of the receivable, which may extend from 6 to 18 months. The Company will pay the full amount owing to the financial institution on the maturity dates. Amounts outstanding under this program as at September 30, 2023 were $117 million [$135 million at December 31, 2022] and are presented within accounts payable.

14.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, accounts payable and short-term borrowings

 

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 Loan

 

The Company's Term Loan consists of advances, which are rolled over until repayment for up to 3 years and 5 years, respectively. Due to the short-term maturity of each loan, the carrying value as presented in the consolidated balance sheets is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.

 

Senior Notes

 

At September 30, 2023, the net book value of the Company's Senior Notes was $5.0 billion and the estimated fair value was $4.8 billion. The net book value of the Company’s Senior Notes due within one year is $1.3 billion. 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.

 

[d]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.

 

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its Term Loan as the interest rate is variable, however the Company is not exposed to interest rate risk on Senior Notes as the interest rates are fixed.

14.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

[e]Credit risk

 

The Company's financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, long-term receivables, 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.

 

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, sales to the Company's six largest customers represented 75% and 77%, respectively, of the Company's total sales; and substantially all of its sales are to customers in which the Company has ongoing contractual relationships. The Company continues to develop and conduct business with newer electric vehicle-focused customers, which poses incremental credit risk due to their relatively short operating histories; limited financial resources; less mature product development and validation processes; uncertain market acceptance of their products/services; and untested business models. These factors may elevate our risks in dealing with such customers, particularly with respect to recovery of: pre-production (including tooling, engineering, and launch) and production receivables; inventory; fixed assets and capitalized preproduction expenditures; as well as other third party obligations related to such items.  As at September 30, 2023, the Company’s balance sheet exposure related to newer electric vehicle-focused customers was approximately $450 million, the majority of which related to Fisker. 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.

 

[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 September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts representing commitments to buy and sell various foreign currencies. Significant commitments are as follows:

 

   For Canadian dollars   For U.S. dollars   For Euros 
      Weighted       Weighted       Weighted   Czech   Weighted 
   U.S. dollar   average   Peso   average   U.S. dollar   average   Koruna   average 
   amount   rate   amount   rate   amount   rate   Amount   rate 
Buy   22    0.78548    6,638    0.04316    35    0.85911    2,535    0.03695 
(Sell)   (869)   1.28374    (8)   0.00113    (80)   1.12672         

 

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.

15.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.

 

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 and a June 2022 settlement with Brazil’s federal competition authority involving in both cases 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.

 

16.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 and adding back Amortization of acquired intangible assets, Income taxes, Interest expense, net and Other (income) expense, net.

 

Effective July 1, 2023, the Company revised its calculation of Adjusted EBIT to exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets. The Company believes that excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets from Adjusted EBIT helps management and investors in understanding its underlying performance and improves comparability between its segmented results of operations and its peers. The Adjusted EBIT presented in the tables below, including for the prior period, have been updated to reflect the revised calculation.
