THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

We posted sales of $8.34 billion for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013, an increase of 13% from the third quarter of 2012. We achieved this sales increase in a period when vehicle production increased 4% in North America and 1% in Europe, both relative to the third quarter of 2012. In the third quarter of 2013, our North American, European and Rest of World production sales, as well as complete vehicle assembly sales and tooling, engineering and other sales increased, in each case relative to the comparable quarter in 2012.

Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 10% to $680 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $620 million for the third quarter of 2012, while complete vehicle assembly volumes increased 16% to approximately 34,000 units.

During the third quarter of 2013, income from operations before income taxes was $391 million, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $319 million and diluted earnings per share were $1.39, decreases of $109 million, $71 million and $0.27 respectively, each compared to the third quarter of 2012.

During the third quarter of 2013, we recorded restructuring charges which negatively impacted income from operations before income taxes by $48 million, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. by $33 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.14.

During the third quarter of 2012, we recorded a re-measurement gain on the acquisition of the controlling 27% interest in Magna E-Car Systems Partnership ("E-Car").  This positively impacted income from operations before income taxes by $153 million, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. by $125 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.53.

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2013, we generated cash from operations of $574 million before changes in non‑cash operating assets and liabilities, and invested $110 million in non‑cash operating assets and liabilities. Total investment activities for the third quarter of 2013 were $347 million, including $280 million in fixed asset additions and a $67 million increase in investments and other assets.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

We posted sales of $25.66 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of 13% from the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This higher sales level reflected increases in our North American, European and Rest of World production sales, as well as complete vehicle assembly sales and tooling, engineering and other sales, in each case relative to the first nine months of 2012.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, vehicle production increased 4% to 12.09 million units in North America and decreased 2% to 14.38 million units in Europe, each compared to the first nine months of 2012.

Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 22% to $2.27 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.86 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, while complete vehicle assembly volumes increased 19% to approximately 110,000 units.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, income from operations before income taxes was $1.39 billion, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $1.10 billion and diluted earnings per share were $4.74, a decrease of $18 million, and increases of $21 million and $0.14, respectively, each compared to the first nine months of 2012.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded restructuring charges which negatively impacted income from operations before taxes by $54 million, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. by $39 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.17.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded a re-measurement gain on the acquisition of the controlling 27% interest in E-Car.  This positively impacted income from operations before income taxes by $153 million, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. by $125 million and diluted EPS by $0.53.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we generated cash from operations before changes in non‑cash operating assets and liabilities of $1.90 billion, and invested $578 million in non‑cash operating assets and liabilities. Total investment activities for the first nine months of 2013 were $874 million, including $706 million in fixed asset additions and a $168 million increase in investments and other assets.

Don Walker, Magna's Chief Executive Officer commented:  "I am pleased with our strong results for the quarter, which were higher than the third quarter of 2012, excluding unusual items.  On a year to date basis, all of our reporting segments have generated improved operating results year over year.  In our Europe segment, we have reported seven consecutive quarters of year over year improvements in Adjusted EBIT.  We believe our strong share price performance reflects, among other things, our continued increases in operating results." 

A more detailed discussion of our consolidated financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 is contained in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are attached to this Press Release.

DIVIDENDS

Yesterday, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.32 with respect to our outstanding Common Shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. This dividend is payable on December 13, 2013 to shareholders of record on November 29, 2013.

OTHER MATTERS

Subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, our Board of Directors approved a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 12 million of our Common Shares, representing approximately 5.4% of our public float of Common Shares. This new normal course issuer bid is expected to commence on or about November 13, 2013 and will terminate one year later.

Vince Galifi, Magna's Chief Financial Officer stated:  "The Board's decision to approve a new share repurchase program reflects their confidence in our business prospects, our desire to maintain financial flexibility, and our objective to provide increased value to shareholders."

We have over 125,000 employees focused on delivering superior value to our customers through innovative processes and World Class Manufacturing. Our product capabilities include producing body, chassis, interior, exterior, seating, powertrain, electronic, vision, closure and roof systems and modules, as well as complete vehicle engineering and contract manufacturing.

HIGHLIGHTS


Our third quarter 2013 sales increased 13% over the third quarter of 2012 to $8.34 billion, as North American, European and Rest of World production sales, as well as complete vehicle assembly sales and tooling, engineering and other sales all increased over the comparable quarter. North American light vehicle production increased 4% in the third quarter of 2013 to 3.8 million units and European light vehicle production increased 1% in the third quarter of 2013 to 4.4 million units, in both cases relative to the third quarter of 2012.

Adjusted EBIT1 increased 26% to $444 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $352 million in the third quarter of 2012.

Our North America segment continues to perform well, with Adjusted EBIT of $365 million for the third quarter of 2013, which included $39 million of amortization related to the August 2012 acquisition of Magna E-Car Systems Partnership ("E-Car"). This result compares to Adjusted EBIT of $328 million for the third quarter of 2012, which included only $13 million in amortization related to the E-Car acquisition.

Our Europe segment recorded another improved result in the third quarter of 2013, despite continued weak levels of vehicle production in Europe. We generated Adjusted EBIT of $72 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $13 million for the third quarter of 2012. This represents the seventh consecutive quarter of improved Adjusted EBIT, relative to the comparable quarter.

In our Rest of World segment, we reported $2 million of Adjusted EBIT in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $5 million in the third quarter of 2012. Within our Rest of World segment, our Asia Pacific business again generated a profit despite significant new facility and launch costs, while our business in South America recorded a loss.

We continue to focus on improving operating results in both Europe and South America, and we expect to generate improved Adjusted EBIT in both regions during 2013 compared to 2012.

Lastly, during the third quarter of 2013, we purchased for cancellation 3.7 million Common Shares for aggregate consideration of $298 million pursuant to our current Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") which expires in November of this year. Subsequent to the third quarter of 2013, we purchased for cancellation the remaining 1.1 million Common Shares under our NCIB for cash consideration of $92 million through a pre-defined automatic securities purchase plan with a designated broker. As of November 4, 2013, we have completed the repurchase of the entire 12 million Common Shares authorized under our NCIB.

Subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), our Board of Directors approved a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 12 million of our Common Shares, representing approximately 5.4% of our public float of Common Shares.

FINANCIAL RESULTS SUMMARY


During the third quarter of 2013, we posted sales of $8.34 billion, an increase of 13% from the third quarter of 2012. This higher sales level was a result of increases in our North American, European and Rest of World production sales, our complete vehicle assembly sales and tooling, engineering and other sales. Comparing the third quarter of 2013 to 2012:

  • North American vehicle production increased 4% and our North American production sales increased 11% to $4.03 billion;
  • European vehicle production increased 1% and our European production sales increased 18% to $2.36 billion;
  • Rest of World production sales increased 16% to $574 million;
  • Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 10% to $680 million and complete vehicle assembly volumes increased 16%; and
  • Tooling, engineering and other sales increased 6% to $695 million.

During the third quarter of 2013, we earned income from operations before income taxes of $391 million compared to $500 million for the third quarter of 2012. Excluding other expense (income), net ("Other Expense" or "Other Income") recorded in the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, as discussed in the "Other Expense" section, the $92 million increase in income from operations before income taxes was primarily as a result of:

  • margins earned on higher production sales;
  • incremental margin earned on new programs that launched during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012;
  • productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities;
  • higher equity income;
  • acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012, including ixetic Verwaltungs GmbH ("ixetic");
  • lower commodity costs; and
  • the benefit of restructuring and downsizing activities recently undertaken in Europe.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • incremental intangible asset amortization of $26 million related to the acquisition and re-measurement of E-Car;
  • programs that ended production during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012;
  • higher costs incurred in preparation for upcoming launches;
  • a larger amount of employee profit sharing;
  • increased pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
  • a $6 million revaluation gain in respect of asset-backed commercial paper ("ABCP") in the third quarter of 2012; and
  • operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities.

During the third quarter of 2013, net income was $318 million, a decrease of $68 million compared to the third quarter of 2012. Net income was impacted by Other Expense and Other Income, as discussed in the "Other Expense" section. Other Expense, after tax, negatively impacted net income in the third quarter of 2013 by $33 million and Other Income, after tax positively impacted net income in the third quarter of 2012 by $125 million. Excluding Other Expense and Other Income, after tax, net income for the third quarter of 2013 increased $90 million compared to the third quarter of 2012.

During the third quarter of 2013, our diluted earnings per share decreased $0.27 to $1.39 compared to $1.66 for the third quarter of 2012. Other Expense, after tax, negatively impacted diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2013 by $0.14 and Other Income, after tax, positively impacted diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2012 by $0.53, both as discussed in the "Other Expense" section. Excluding Other Expense and Other Income, after tax, the $0.40 increase in diluted earnings per share is a result of the increase in net income attributable to Magna International Inc. and a decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding was due to the purchase and cancellation of Common Shares, during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012, pursuant to our normal course issuer bids and the cashless exercise of options, partially offset by the issue of Common Shares related to the exercise of stock options, an increase in the number of diluted options outstanding as a result of an increase in the trading price of our common stock and stock options issued subsequent to the third quarter of 2012.

INDUSTRY TRENDS AND RISKS


Our success is primarily dependent upon the levels of North American and European car and light truck production by our customers and the relative amount of content we have on various programs. OEM production volumes in different regions may be impacted by factors which may vary from one region to the next, including but not limited to general economic and political conditions, consumer confidence levels, interest rates, credit availability, energy and fuel prices, international conflicts, labour relations issues, regulatory requirements, trade agreements, infrastructure, legislative changes, and environmental emissions and safety standards. These factors and a number of other economic, industry and risk factors which also affect our success, including such things as relative currency values, commodities prices, price reduction pressures from our customers, the financial condition of our supply base and competition from other suppliers, are discussed in our Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 40-F, each in respect of the year ended December 31, 2012. The economic, industry and risk factors remain substantially unchanged in respect of the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Average Foreign Exchange

      For the three months       For the nine months
      ended September 30,       ended September 30,
      2013     2012     Change       2013     2012     Change
1 Canadian dollar equals U.S. dollars      0.962     1.005     - 4%        0.977      0.998     -  2%
1 euro equals U.S. dollars      1.325     1.252     + 6%       1.317     1.282     +  3%
1 British pound equals U.S. dollars      1.552     1.580     - 2%       1.546     1.578     -  2%

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 changes in these foreign exchange rates for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 impacted the reported U.S. dollar amounts of our sales, expenses and income.

The results of operations whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in the table above 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.

External Production Sales - North America

External production sales in North America increased 11% or $389 million to $4.03 billion for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $3.64 billion for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in external production sales is primarily as a result of:

  • the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012, including the:
    • Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ;
    • Jeep Cherokee; and
    • Honda Accord;
  • higher production volumes on certain existing programs;
  • acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012 which positively impacted sales by $47 million, including STT Technologies ("STT"); and
  • an increase in content on certain programs, including the Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Traverse.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • a decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales primarily as a result of the weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar;
  • programs that ended production during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012; and
  • net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of 2012.

External Production Sales - Europe

External production sales in Europe increased 18% or $358 million to $2.36 billion for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $2.01 billion for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in external production sales is primarily as a result of:

  • the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012, including the:
    • MINI Paceman;
    • Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class; and
    • Ford Kuga;
  • acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012, which positively impacted sales by $101 million, including ixetic; and
  • an increase in reported U.S. dollar sales primarily as a result of the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • lower production volumes on certain existing programs; and
  • net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of 2012.

External Production Sales - Rest of World

External production sales in Rest of World increased 16% or $81 million to $574 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $493 million for the third quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012, primarily in China and Brazil, partially offset by:

  • a $25 million decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, including the Brazilian real and Argentine peso; and
  • net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of 2012.
Complete Vehicle Assembly Sales                      
        For the three months      
        ended September 30,      
        2013     2012     Change
Complete Vehicle Assembly Sales      $  680   $  620     + 10%
Complete Vehicle Assembly Volumes (Units)        33,818     29,153     + 16%

Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 10%, or $60 million, to $680 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $620 million for the third quarter of 2012 and assembly volumes increased 16% or 4,665 units.

The increase in complete vehicle assembly sales is primarily as a result of:

  • the launch of the MINI Paceman during the fourth quarter of 2012; and
  • a $35 million increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.

These factors were partially offset by a decrease in assembly volumes for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Tooling, Engineering and Other Sales

Tooling, engineering and other sales increased 6% or $39 million to $695 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $656 million for the third quarter of 2012.

In the third quarter of 2013, the major programs for which we recorded tooling, engineering and other sales were the:

  • Ford Transit;
  • GM full-size pickups and SUVs;
  • Jeep Cherokee;
  • BMW X5;
  • Ford Fusion;
  • Mercedes-Benz M-Class;
  • Qoros 3;
  • Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class; and
  • Dodge Durango.

In the third quarter of 2012, the major programs for which we recorded tooling, engineering and other sales were the:

  • Chevrolet Trax;
  • Ford Fusion;
  • Chevrolet Spin;
  • Honda Accord;
  • Qoros 3;
  • MINI Countryman;
  • Dodge Dart;
  • Mercedes-Benz M-Class; and
  • Opel Cascada Convertible.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin        
        For the three months 
        ended September 30, 
        2013     2012
Sales      $  8,338   $  7,411
Cost of goods sold              
  Material         5,331     4,767
  Direct labour         538     483
  Overhead         1,404     1,295
        7,273     6,545
Gross margin      $  1,065   $  866
Gross margin as a percentage of sales        12.8%     11.7%

Cost of goods sold increased $0.73 billion to $7.27 billion for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $6.55 billion for the third quarter of 2012 primarily as a result of:

  • higher material, overhead and labour costs associated with the increase in sales, including wage increases at certain operations;
  • $161 million related to acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012, including ixetic, STT and E-Car;
  • a net increase in reported U.S. dollar cost of goods sold primarily due to the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar partially offset by the weakening of the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, Argentine peso and British pound, each against the U.S. dollar;
  • increased pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities; and
  • a larger amount of employee profit sharing.

Gross margin increased $199 million to $1.07 billion for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $0.87 billion for the third quarter of 2012 and gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to 12.8% for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 11.7% for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales was primarily due to:

  • margins earned on higher production sales;
  • incremental margin earned on new programs that launched during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012;
  • lower commodity costs; and
  • productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • higher costs incurred in preparation for upcoming launches;
  • a larger amount of employee profit sharing;
  • increased pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
  • an increase in complete vehicle assembly sales which have a higher material content than our consolidated average;
  • an increase in tooling, engineering and other sales that have low or no margins;
  • programs that ended production during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012; and
  • operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization costs increased $61 million to $264 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $203 million for the third quarter of 2012. The higher depreciation and amortization was primarily as a result of:

  • incremental intangible asset amortization of $26 million related to the acquisition and re-measurement of E-Car;
  • $18 million related to acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012, including ixetic, E-Car and STT;
  • depreciation related to new facilities; and
  • capital spending during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A")

SG&A expense as a percentage of sales was 4.9% for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 4.6% for the third quarter of 2012. SG&A expense increased $67 million to $411 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $344 million for the third quarter of 2012 primarily as a result of:

  • increased costs incurred at new facilities;
  • an increase in reported U.S. dollar SG&A related to foreign exchange;
  • $7 million related to acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012, including ixetic, E-Car, and STT;
  • a $6 million revaluation gain in respect of ABCP in the third quarter of 2012; and
  • higher labour and other costs to support the growth in sales, including wage increases at certain operations.

Equity Income

Equity income increased $21 million to $54 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $33 million for the third quarter of 2012. Equity income for the third quarter of 2012 included $13 million of equity loss related to our investment in E-Car and $2 million of equity income related to our investment in STT. Excluding this $11 million net equity loss, the $10 million increase in equity income is primarily as a result of higher income from most of our equity accounted investments.

Other Expense (Income), net

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded Other Expense and Other Income items as follows:

        2013       2012
                    Diluted                   Diluted
        Operating     Net     Earnings       Operating     Net     Earnings

  Re-measurement gain of E-Car (2)                —              (153)      (125)      (0.53)
        48      33     0.14       (153)     (125)      (0.53)

  Restructuring charges (1)         6      6     0.02                —
                                           
Total year to date unusual items     $  54   $  39   $   0.17     $  (153)   $  (125)   $  (0.53)

(1) Restructuring charges

During the third and first quarters of 2013, we recorded net restructuring charges of $48 million ($33 million after tax) and $6 million ($6 million after tax), respectively, in Europe at our exterior and interior systems operations related primarily to the closure of a facility in Belgium.

We expect full year 2013 restructuring charges to be approximately $100 million.

(2) Re-measurement gain of E-Car

On August 31, 2012, we acquired the controlling 27% interest in E-Car from a company affiliated with the Stronach Group for cash consideration of $75 million.

Prior to the acquisition, we held the 73% non-controlling interest in E-Car and accounted for this investment using the equity method of accounting. The incremental investment in E-Car was accounted for under the business acquisition method of accounting as a step acquisition which requires that we re-measure our pre-existing investment in E-Car at fair value and recognize any gains or losses in income. The estimated fair value of our partnership interest immediately before the closing date was $205 million, which resulted in the recognition of a non-cash gain of $153 million ($125 million after tax), which is recorded in Other expense (income), net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Segment Analysis

Given the differences between the regions in which we operate, our operations are segmented on a geographic basis between North America, Europe and Rest of World. Consistent with the above, our internal financial reporting segments key internal operating performance measures between North America, Europe and Rest of World for purposes of presentation to the chief operating decision maker to assist in the assessment of operating performance, the allocation of resources, and our long-term strategic direction and future global growth.

Our chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBIT as the measure of segment profit or loss, since we believe Adjusted EBIT is the most appropriate measure of operational profitability or loss for our reporting segments. Adjusted EBIT represents income from operations before income taxes; interest expense, net; and other expense (income), net.

        For the three months ended September 30,
        External Sales       Adjusted EBIT
        2013     2012     Change        2013     2012     Change
North America      $  4,355   $  3,953   $  402      $  365   $  328   $  37
Europe         3,366     2,911      455       72     13     59
Rest of World         612     542     70       2     5     (3)
Corporate and Other         5      5      —       5     6     (1)

  segments      $  8,338   $  7,411   $  927      $  444   $  352   $  92

Excluded from Adjusted EBIT for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012 were the following Other Expense and Other Income items, which have been discussed in the "Other Expense" section.

        For the three months
        ended September 30,
        2013     2012
Europe              
  Restructuring charges      $  48   $  —
               
Corporate and Other              
  Re-measurement gain of E-Car             (153)
      $  48   $  (153)

North America

Adjusted EBIT in North America increased $37 million to $365 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $328 million for the third quarter of 2012 primarily as a result of:

  • margins earned on higher production sales;
  • incremental margin earned on new programs that launched during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012;
  • lower commodity costs;
  • decreased pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities; and
  • productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • incremental intangible asset amortization of $26 million related to the acquisition and re-measurement of E-Car;
  • programs that ended production during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012;
  • higher costs incurred in preparation for upcoming launches;
  • a larger amount of employee profit sharing;
  • higher affiliation fees paid to corporate; and
  • operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities.

Europe

Adjusted EBIT in Europe increased $59 million to $72 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $13 million for the third quarter of 2012 primarily as a result of:

  • margins earned on higher production sales;
  • incremental margin earned on new programs that launched during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012;
  • acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012, including ixetic;
  • favourable settlement of certain commercial items;
  • the benefit of restructuring and downsizing activities recently undertaken; and
  • productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • higher costs incurred in preparation for upcoming launches; and
  • a larger amount of employee profit sharing.

Rest of World

Rest of World Adjusted EBIT decreased $3 million to $2 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $5 million for the third quarter of 2012 primarily as a result of:

  • increased costs related to new facilities;
  • higher production costs, including inflationary increases, that we have not been successful in passing through to our customers;
  • a larger amount of employee profit sharing;
  • higher affiliation fees paid to corporate; and
  • higher incentive compensation.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • margins earned on higher production sales, including margins earned on the launch of new facilities and new programs;
  • higher equity income; and
  • productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other Adjusted EBIT decreased $1 million to $5 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $6 million for the third quarter of 2012. The loss related to our equity accounted investment in E-Car included in Corporate and Other was $13 million for the third quarter of 2012. Excluding E-Car, Corporate and Other Adjusted EBIT decreased $14 million to $5 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $19 million for the third quarter of 2012 primarily as a result of

  • a $6 million revaluation gain in respect of ABCP in the third quarter of 2012;
  • higher incentive compensation; and
  • increased consulting costs.

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

Interest Expense, net

During the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, we recorded net interest expense of $5 million.

Income from Operations before Income Taxes

Income from operations before income taxes decreased $109 million to $391 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $500 million for the third quarter of 2012. Excluding Other Expense and Other Income, discussed in the "Other Expense" section, income from operations before income taxes for the third quarter of 2013 increased $92 million. The increase in income from operations before income taxes is the result of the increase in EBIT, as discussed above.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate on income from operations before income taxes decreased to 18.7% for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 22.8% for the third quarter of 2012. In the third quarters of 2012 and 2013, income tax rates were impacted by the items discussed in the "Other Expense" section. Excluding Other Expense and Other Income, after tax, the effective income tax rate decreased to 20.0% for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 24.8% for the third quarter of 2012 primarily as a result of favourable audit settlements of prior taxation years and a valuation allowance release, partially offset by non-creditable withholding tax on the repatriation of funds to Canada.

Net Income

Net income of $318 million for the third quarter of 2013 decreased $68 million compared to the third quarter of 2012. Excluding Other Expense and Other Income, after tax, discussed in the "Other Expense" section, net income increased $90 million. The increase in net income is the result of the increase in income from operations before income taxes partially offset by higher income taxes.

Net Loss Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests was $1 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $4 million for the third quarter of 2012.

Net Income attributable to Magna International Inc.

Net income attributable to Magna International Inc. of $319 million for the third quarter of 2013 decreased $71 million compared to the third quarter of 2012. Excluding Other Expense and Other Income, after tax, discussed in the "Other Expense" section, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. increased $87 million as a result of the increase in net income, as discussed above.

Earnings per Share                      
        For the three months        
        ended September 30,        
        2013     2012     Change
Earnings per Common Share                    
  Basic      $  1.41   $  1.68     - 16%
  Diluted      $  1.39   $  1.66     - 16%
                       
Average number of Common Shares outstanding (millions)                      
  Basic        226.4     232.5     - 3%
  Diluted        229.5     235.1     - 2%

Diluted earnings per share decreased $0.27 to $1.39 for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $1.66 for the third quarter of 2012. Other Expense, after tax, negatively impacted diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2013 by $0.14 and Other Income positively impacted diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2012 by $0.53, both as discussed in the "Other Expense" section. Excluding Other Expense and Other Income, after tax, the $0.40 increase in diluted earnings per share was a result of the increase in net income attributable to Magna International Inc. and a decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the third quarter of 2013.

The decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding was due to the purchase and cancellation of Common Shares, during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2012, pursuant to our normal course issuer bids and the cashless exercise of options, partially offset by the issue of Common Shares related to the exercise of stock options, an increase in the number of diluted options outstanding as a result of an increase in the trading price of our common stock and stock options issued subsequent to the third quarter of 2012.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Cash Flow from Operations                
        For the three months

        574     503     $  71
Changes in non-cash operating assets and liabilities         (110)     (63)        
Cash provided from operating activities      $  464   $  440     $  24

Cash flow from operations before changes in non-cash operating assets and liabilities increased $71 million to $574 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $503 million for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in cash flow from operations was due to a $139 million increase in items not involving current cash flows partially offset by a $68 million decrease in net income, as discussed above. Items not involving current cash flows are comprised of the following:

        For the three months 
        ended September 30,
        2013     2012
               
Depreciation and amortization        $  264   $  203
Other non-cash charges           40     39
Amortization of other assets included in cost of goods sold           34     26
Re-measurement gain of E-Car               (153)
Deferred income taxes           (28)     35
Equity income           (54)     (33)
Items not involving current cash flows        $  256   $  117

Cash invested in non-cash operating assets and liabilities amounted to $110 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $63 million for the third quarter of 2012. The change in non-cash operating assets and liabilities is comprised of the following sources (and uses) of cash:

        For the three months 
        ended September 30, 
        2013     2012
               
Accounts receivable        $  (223)   $  69
Inventories          48     (73)
Prepaid expenses and other           (13)     (22)
Accounts payable           (71)     (85)
Accrued salaries and wages           71     49
Other accrued liabilities           77     13
Income taxes payable               (14)
Deferred revenue           1    
Changes in non-cash operating assets and liabilities        $  (110)    $  (63)

Higher accounts receivable relate primarily to increased tooling receivables and higher production sales at the end of the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in inventories was primarily due to lower tooling inventory partially offset by increased production inventory to support launch activities. The decrease in accounts payable was primarily due to timing of payments. The increase in accrued salaries and wages was primarily due to restructuring, employee profit sharing and vacation accruals.

Capital and Investment Spending

Cash used for investment activities     $  (317)   $  (348)     $  31

Fixed assets, investments and other assets additions

In the third quarter of 2013, we invested $280 million in fixed assets. While investments were made to refurbish or replace assets consumed in the normal course of business and for productivity improvements, a large portion of the investment in the third quarter of 2013 was for manufacturing equipment for programs that will be launching subsequent to the third quarter of 2013.

In the third quarter of 2013, we invested $66 million in other assets related primarily to fully reimbursable tooling and engineering costs for programs that launched during the third quarter of 2013 or will be launching subsequent to the third quarter of 2013, as well as $1 million in equity accounted investments.

Purchase of subsidiaries

On August 31, 2012 we acquired the controlling 27% interest in E-Car for cash consideration of $56 million, net of $19 million cash acquired.

Proceeds from disposition

In the third quarter of 2013, the $30 million of proceeds include normal course fixed and other asset disposals.

Financing

Cash used for financing activities      $  (383)    $  (63)     $  (320)

During the third quarter of 2013, we purchased for cancellation 3.7 million Common Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $298 million under our NCIB.

Cash dividends paid per Common Share were $0.32 for the third quarter of 2013, for a total of $71 million.

Financing Resources                      
        As at        As at      
        September 30,       December 31,      
        2013       2012     Change

Non-controlling interest         26       29      
Shareholders' equity         9,566       9,429      
Total capitalization      $  9,933     $  9,890     $ 43

Total capitalization increased by $43 million to $9.93 billion at September 30, 2013 compared to $9.89 billion at December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of a $137 million increase in shareholders' equity partially offset by a $91 million decrease in liabilities.

The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily as a result of net income earned in the first nine months of 2013 partially offset by:

  • the repurchase of Common Shares in connection with our NCIB;
  • dividends paid during the first nine months of 2013; and
  • the $82 million net unrealized loss on translation of net investment in foreign operations.

The decrease in liabilities relates primarily to lower bank term debt in our Rest of World segment and reduced bank indebtedness.

Cash Resources

During the third quarter of 2013, our cash resources decreased by $215 million to $1.06 billion as a result of the 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, 2013, we had term and operating lines of credit totalling $2.56 billion of which $2.22 billion was unused and available.

On June 20, 2013, we amended our existing $2.25 billion revolving credit facility to become a five year facility with a maturity of June 20, 2018. The facility now includes a $200 million Asian tranche, a $50 million Mexican tranche and a tranche for Canada, U.S. and Europe, which is fully transferable between jurisdictions and can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or euros.

Maximum Number of Shares Issuable

The following table presents the maximum number of shares that would be outstanding if all of the outstanding options at November 5, 2013 were exercised:

Common Shares            223,589,183
Stock options (i)            4,784,608
            228,373,791
(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 our stock option plans.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Financing

There have been no material changes with respect to the contractual obligations requiring annual payments during the third quarter of 2013 that are outside the ordinary course of our business. Refer to our MD&A included in our 2012 Annual Report.

External Production Sales - North America

External production sales in North America increased 8% or $915 million to $12.37 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $11.46 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in external production sales is primarily as a result of:

  • the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, including the:
    • Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ;
    • Honda Accord;
    • Jeep Cherokee; and
    • Tesla Model S;
  • higher production volumes on certain existing programs;
  • acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 which positively impacted sales by $134 million, including STT; and
  • an increase in content on certain programs, including the Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Traverse.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • programs that ended production during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, including the:
    • Jeep Liberty; and
    • Mazda 6;
  • a decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales primarily as a result of the weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar; and
  • net customer price concessions subsequent to September 30, 2012.

External Production Sales - Europe

External production sales in Europe increased 12% or $793 million to $7.37 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $6.58 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in external production sales is primarily as a result of:

  • the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, including the:
    • Mercedes-Benz A-Class;
    • MINI Paceman;
    • Ford Kuga;
    • Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class;
    • Skoda Rapid and SEAT Toledo; and
    • Ford Transit Custom;
  • acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which positively impacted sales by $391 million, including ixetic and BDW technologies group and the re-acquisition of an interior systems operation; and
  • an increase in reported U.S. dollar sales primarily as a result of the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • lower production volumes on certain existing programs;
  • programs that ended production during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2012; and
  • net customer price concessions subsequent to September 30, 2012.

External Production Sales - Rest of World

External production sales in Rest of World increased 26% or $346 million to $1.66 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.32 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily as a result of the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily in Brazil and China.

This factor was partially offset by:

  • a $62 million decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, including the Brazilian real and Argentine peso; and
  • net customer price concessions subsequent to September 30, 2012.
Complete Vehicle Assembly Sales                
        For the nine months        
        ended September 30,        
        2013     2012     Change
                       
Complete Vehicle Assembly Sales     $  2,274   $  1,864     +  22%
                       
Complete Vehicle Assembly Volumes (Units)       109,862     92,152     +  19%

Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 22%, or $410 million, to $2.27 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.86 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and assembly volumes increased 19% or 17,710 units.

The increase in complete vehicle assembly sales is primarily as a result of:

  • the launch of the MINI Paceman during the fourth quarter of 2012;
  • an increase in assembly volumes for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class; and
  • a $54 million increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • the end of production of the Aston Martin Rapide at our Magna Steyr facility during the second quarter of 2012; and
  • a decrease in assembly volumes for the:
    • MINI Countryman; and
    • Peugeot RCZ.

Tooling, Engineering and Other Sales

Tooling, engineering and other sales increased 25% or $393 million to $1.98 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.59 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

North America

Adjusted EBIT in North America increased $20 million to $1.17 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.15 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of:

  • margins earned on higher production sales;
  • incremental margin earned on new programs that launched during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2012;
  • lower restructuring and downsizing costs;
  • decreased pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities; and
  • productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • incremental intangible asset amortization of $105 million related to the acquisition and re-measurement of E-Car;
  • programs that ended production during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2012;
  • operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities;
  • a larger amount of employee profit sharing;
  • higher affiliation fees paid to Corporate; and
  • increased commodity costs.

Europe

Adjusted EBIT in Europe increased $123 million to $264 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $141 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of:

  • margins earned on higher production sales;
  • incremental margin earned on new programs that launched during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2012;
  • acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, including ixetic;
  • the benefit of restructuring and downsizing activities recently undertaken;
  • decreased commodity costs;
  • higher equity income; and
  • productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • a larger amount of employee profit sharing;
  • higher restructuring and downsizing costs;
  • higher affiliation fees paid to corporate; and
  • operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities.

Rest of World

Rest of World Adjusted EBIT increased $24 million to $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a loss of $20 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of:

  • margins earned on higher production sales, including margins earned on the launch of new facilities and new programs;
  • productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities;
  • higher equity income; and
  • lower restructuring and downsizing costs.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • increased costs related to new facilities;
  • higher production costs, including inflationary increases, that we have not been successful in passing through to our customers;
  • higher affiliation fees paid to Corporate; and
  • a larger amount of employee profit sharing.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other Adjusted EBIT increased $20 million to $22 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The loss related to our equity accounted investment in E-Car included in Corporate and Other was $35 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding E-Car, Corporate and Other Adjusted EBIT decreased $15 million to $22 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $37 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of:

  • the recovery of due diligence costs in the second quarter of 2012;
  • an $8 million net decrease in revaluation gains in respect of ABCP;
  • increased consulting costs; and
  • higher incentive compensation.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • an increase in affiliation fees earned from our divisions;
  • $10 million of cash received related to the settlement of ABCP between the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada and financial institutions; and
  • a loss on disposal of an investment in the second quarter of 2012.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


Normal Course Issuer Bid

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2013, we purchased for cancellation the remaining 1.1 million Common Shares under an existing normal course issuer bid for cash consideration of $92 million through a pre-defined automatic securities purchase plan with a designated broker. As of November 4, 2013 we have completed the repurchase of the entire 12 million Common Shares authorized under the Normal Course Issuer Bid.

Subject to approval by the TSX and the NYSE, our Board of Directors approved a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 12 million of our Common Shares, representing approximately 5.4% of our public float of Common Shares. The primary purposes of the normal course issuer bid are purchases for cancellation as well as purchases to fund our stock-based compensation awards or programs and/or our obligations to our deferred profit sharing plans. The normal course issuer bid is expected to commence on or about November 13, 2013 and will terminate one year later. All purchases of Common Shares will be made at the market price at the time of purchase in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX. Purchases may also be made on the NYSE in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We may enter into a pre-defined automatic securities purchase plan with a designated broker in order that purchases may be made under our normal course issuer bid during periods when the corporation's trading blackouts are in effect.

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 15 of our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which describes these claims.

For a discussion of risk factors relating to legal and other claims/actions against us, refer to "Item 3. Description of the Business - Risk Factors" in our Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 40-F, each in respect of the year ended December 31, 2012.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


The previous discussion contains statements that constitute "forward-looking information" or "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including, but not limited to, statements relating to: light vehicle production and operating performance in our reporting segments; implementation of improvement plans in our underperforming operations, and/or restructuring actions, including but not limited to, Europe and South America; the expected amount of restructuring charges; improved future financial results, including Adjusted EBIT in South America and Europe; and future repurchases of Common Shares under our Normal Course Issuer Bid. The forward-looking information in this MD&A is presented for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements may include financial and other projections, as well as statements regarding our future plans, objectives or economic performance, or the assumptions underlying any of the foregoing, and other statements that are not recitations of historical fact. We use words such as "may", "would", "could", "should", "will", "likely", "expect", "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "plan", "forecast", "outlook", "project", "estimate" and similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events to identify forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us, and are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks, assumptions and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and the effects of which can be difficult to predict, including, without limitation: the potential for a deterioration of economic conditions or an extended period of economic uncertainty; declines in consumer confidence and the impact on production volume levels; continuing economic uncertainty in various geographic regions, including Western Europe; inability to sustain or grow our business with OEMs; restructuring actions by OEMs, including plant closures; restructuring, downsizing and/or other significant non-recurring costs; continued underperformance of one or more of our operating divisions; our ability to successfully launch material new or takeover business; liquidity risks; bankruptcy or insolvency of a major customer or supplier; a prolonged disruption in the supply of components to us from our suppliers; scheduled shutdowns of our customers' production facilities (typically in the third and fourth quarters of each calendar year); shutdown of our or our customers' or sub-suppliers' production facilities due to a labour disruption; our ability to successfully compete with other automotive suppliers; a reduction in outsourcing by our customers or the loss of a material production or assembly program; the termination or non-renewal by our customers of any material production purchase order; a shift away from technologies in which we are investing; risks arising due to the failure of a major financial institution; impairment charges related to goodwill, long-lived assets and deferred tax assets; shifts in market share away from our top customers; shifts in market shares among vehicles or vehicle segments, or shifts away from vehicles on which we have significant content; risks of conducting business in foreign markets, including China, Russia, India, South America and other non-traditional markets for us; exposure to, and ability to offset, volatile commodities prices; fluctuations in relative currency values; our ability to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions or achieve anticipated synergies; our ability to conduct appropriate due diligence on acquisition targets; ongoing pricing pressures, including our ability to offset price concessions demanded by our customers; warranty and recall costs; risk of production disruptions due to natural disasters; pension liabilities; legal claims and/or regulatory actions against us; our ability to understand and compete successfully in non-automotive businesses in which we pursue opportunities; changes in our mix of earnings between jurisdictions with lower tax rates and those with higher tax rates, as well as our ability to fully benefit tax losses; other potential tax exposures; inability to achieve future investment returns that equal or exceed past returns; the unpredictability of, and fluctuation in, the trading price of our Common Shares; work stoppages and labour relations disputes; changes in credit ratings assigned to us; changes in laws and governmental regulations; costs associated with compliance with environmental laws and regulations; and other factors set out in our Annual Information Form filed with securities commissions in Canada and our annual report on Form 40-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and subsequent filings. In evaluating forward-looking statements, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and readers should specifically consider the various factors which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we do not intend, nor do we undertake any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent information, events, results or circumstances or otherwise.

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
[Unaudited]
[All amounts in U.S. dollars and all tabular amounts in millions unless otherwise noted]


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 United States dollars following United States generally accepted accounting principles ["GAAP"] as further discussed in note 1[b] and the accounting policies as set out in note 1 to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of GAAP for annual financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2012 audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's 2012 Annual Report.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2013 and the results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

[b] Accounting Changes

Intangibles

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ["ASU"] 2012-02, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment". ASU 2012-02 provides an option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

[c] Seasonality

The Company's businesses are generally not seasonal. However, the Company's sales and profits are closely related to its automotive customers' vehicle production schedules. The Company's largest North American customers typically halt production for approximately two weeks in July and one week in December. Additionally, many of the Company's customers in Europe typically shutdown vehicle production during portions of August and one week in December.

2. OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME), NET

                Nine months ended
                September 30,
                2013      2012
                       
Third Quarter                      
  Restructuring  [i]           $  48    $  
  Re-measurement gain of E-Car  [ii]                  (153)
                48      (153)
                       
First Quarter                      
  Restructuring [i]             6    
              $  54   $  (153)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

[i] Restructuring

During the third and first quarters of 2013, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $48 million [$33 million after tax] and $6 million [$6 million after tax], respectively, in Europe at its exterior and interior systems operations related primarily to the closure of a facility in Belgium.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

[ii] Re-measurement gain of E-Car

On August 31, 2012, the Company acquired the controlling 27% interest in the Magna E-Car Systems L.P. ["E-Car"] partnership from a company affiliated with the Stronach Group for cash consideration of $75 million.

Prior to the acquisition, the Company held the remaining 73% non-controlling interest in E-Car and accounted for this investment using the equity method of accounting.  The incremental investment in E-Car was accounted for under the business acquisition method of accounting as a step acquisition which requires that Magna re-measure its pre-existing investment in E-Car at fair value and recognize any gains or losses in income. The estimated fair value of Magna's partnership interest immediately before the closing date was $205 million, which resulted in the recognition of a non-cash gain of $153 million [$125 million after tax], which is recorded in Other expense (income), net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

[b] 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, bank indebtedness and accounts payable.

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

Investments

At September 30, 2013, the Company held Canadian third party asset-backed commercial paper ["ABCP"] with a face value of Cdn$107 million [December 31, 2012 - Cdn$107 million]. The carrying value and estimated fair value of this investment was Cdn$95 million [December 31, 2012 - Cdn$90 million]. As fair value information is not readily determinable for the Company's investment in ABCP, the fair value was based on a valuation technique estimating the fair value from the perspective of a market participant.

At September 30, 2013, the Company held available-for-sale investments in publicly traded companies. The carrying value and fair value of these investments was $3 million, which was based on the closing share price of the investments on September 30, 2013.

Term debt

The Company's term debt includes $199 million due within one year. Due to the short period to maturity of this debt, the carrying value as presented in the interim consolidated balance sheets is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.

[c] Credit risk

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

The Company's held for trading investments include an investment in ABCP. Given the continuing uncertainties regarding the value of the underlying assets, the amount and timing over cash flows and the risk of collateral calls in the event that spreads widened considerably, the Company could be exposed to further losses on its investment.

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

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

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to credit risk from its customers, substantially all of which are in the automotive industry and are subject to credit risks associated with the automotive industry. For both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, sales to the Company's six largest customers represented 83% of the Company's total sales, and substantially all of the Company's sales are to customers in which it has ongoing contractual relationships.

[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 the Company's cash and cash equivalents is impacted more by the investment decisions made and the demands to have available cash on hand, than by movements in the interest rates over a given period.

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

[e] Currency risk and foreign exchange contracts

The Company operates globally, which gives rise to a risk that its earnings and cash flows may be adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when manufacturing facilities have committed to the delivery of products for which the selling price has been quoted in currencies other than the facilities' functional currency, or when materials and equipment are purchased in currencies other than the facilities' functional currency.

In an effort to manage this net foreign exchange exposure, the Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts for the sole purpose of hedging certain of the Company's future committed Canadian dollar, U.S. dollar, euro and British pound outflows and inflows. All derivative instruments, including foreign exchange contracts, are recorded on the interim consolidated balance sheet at fair value. To the extent that cash flow hedges are effective, the change in their fair value is recorded in other comprehensive income; any ineffective portion is recorded in net income. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to net income in the period in which the hedged item affects net income.

At September 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts representing commitments to buy and sell various foreign currencies. Significant commitments are as follows:

    Buys    Sells
For Canadian dollars        
  U.S. dollar amount    190    1,024
  euro amount    47    7
For U.S. dollars        
  Peso amount    5,923    271
For euros        
  U.S. dollar amount    48    170
  British pounds amount    54    49
  Czech koruna amount    3,797    2
  Polish zlotys amount    228    —
For British pound        
  Czech koruna amount    20    3

Forward contracts mature at various dates through 2018. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed quarterly.

As a result of the hedging programs employed, foreign currency transactions in any given period may not be fully impacted by movements in exchange rates. As at September 30, 2013, the net foreign exchange exposure was not material.

15. CONTINGENCIES

[a] In the ordinary course of business activities, the Company may be contingently liable for litigation and claims with customers, suppliers, former employees and other parties. In addition, the Company may be, or could become, liable to incur environmental remediation costs to bring environmental contamination levels back within acceptable legal limits. On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as 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.

In November 1997, the Company and two of its subsidiaries were sued by KS Centoco Ltd., an Ontario-based steering wheel manufacturer in which the Company has a 23% equity interest, and by Centoco Holdings Limited, the owner of the remaining 77% equity interest in KS Centoco Ltd. In March 1999, the plaintiffs were granted leave to make substantial amendments to the original statement of claim in order to add several new defendants and claim additional remedies, and in February 2006, the plaintiffs further amended their claim to add an additional remedy. The amended statement of claim alleges, among other things:

  • breach of fiduciary duty by the Company and two of its subsidiaries;

  • breach by the Company of its binding letter of intent with KS Centoco Ltd., including its covenant not to have any interest, directly or indirectly, in any entity that carries on the airbag business in North America, other than through MST Automotive Inc., a company to be 77% owned by Magna and 23% owned by Centoco Holdings Limited;

  • the plaintiff's exclusive entitlement to certain airbag technologies in North America pursuant to an exclusive licence agreement, together with an accounting of all revenues and profits resulting from the alleged use by the Company, TRW Inc. ["TRW"] and other unrelated third party automotive supplier defendants of such technology in North America;

  • a conspiracy by the Company, TRW and others to deprive KS Centoco Ltd. of the benefits of such airbag technology in North America and to cause Centoco Holdings Limited to sell to TRW its interest in KS Centoco Ltd. in conjunction with the Company's sale to TRW of its interest in MST Automotive GmbH and TEMIC Bayern-Chemie Airbag GmbH; and

  • oppression by the defendants.

The plaintiffs are seeking, amongst other things, damages of approximately Cdn$3.5 billion. Document production, completion of undertakings and examinations for discovery are substantially complete, although limited additional examinations for discovery may occur. A trial is not expected to commence until late 2014, at the earliest. The Company believes it has valid defences to the plaintiffs' claims and therefore intends to continue to vigorously defend this case. Notwithstanding the amount of time which has transpired since the claim was filed, these legal proceedings remain at an early stage and, accordingly, it is not possible to predict their outcome.

[b] A putative class action lawsuit alleging violations of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was filed in May 2012 in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, against the Company, as well as its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as its founder.  Boilermaker-Blacksmith National Pension Trust ["BBNPT"] was appointed the lead plaintiff on an uncontested motion in July 2012.  BBNPT subsequently filed an amended complaint in October 2012, following which the defendants filed a motion seeking dismissal of the lawsuit. On August 23, 2013, the Court granted the Company's motion and dismissed the lawsuit "with prejudice". BBNPT has filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The appeal is not expected to be fully briefed until the second quarter of 2014. The defendants believe the lawsuit is without merit and therefore will continue to vigorously defend the case. Given the stage of the legal proceedings, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the claim.

[c] On September 24, 2013, the Bundeskartellamt, the German Federal Cartel Office, attended at an operating division of the Company in Germany under the authority of a search warrant, in connection with an ongoing antitrust investigation of the automobile textile coverings and components industry [particularly trunk linings]. The Company's policy is to comply with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws, and it intends to cooperate with the German Federal Cartel Office.

[d] In certain circumstances, the Company is at risk for warranty costs including product liability and recall costs. Due to the nature of the costs, the Company makes its best estimate of the expected future costs [note 7]; however, the ultimate amount of such costs could be materially different. The Company continues to experience increased customer pressure to assume greater warranty responsibility. Currently, under most customer agreements, the Company only accounts for existing or probable claims. Under certain complete vehicle engineering and assembly contracts, the Company records an estimate of future warranty-related costs based on the terms of the specific customer agreements, and the specific customer's warranty experience.

16. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Given the differences between the regions in which the Company operates, Magna's operations are segmented on a geographic basis between North America, Europe and Rest of World. Consistent with the above, the Company's internal financial reporting separately segments key internal operating performance measures between North America, Europe and Rest of World for purposes of presentation to the chief operating decision maker to assist in the assessment of operating performance, the allocation of resources, and the long-term strategic direction and future global growth of the Company.

The Company's chief operating decision maker uses 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 represents income from operations before income taxes; interest expense, net; and other expense (income), net.

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

The following tables show segment information for the Company's reporting segments and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBIT to the Company's consolidated income from operations before income taxes:

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Normal Course Issuer Bid

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company purchased for cancellation the remaining 1,086,822 Common Shares under an existing normal course issuer bid for cash consideration of $92 million through a pre-defined automatic securities purchase plan with a designated broker.  As of November 4, 2013 the Company has completed the repurchase of the entire 12 million Common Shares authorized under the Normal Course Issuer Bid.

Subject to approval by the TSX and the New York Stock Exchange ["NYSE"], the Board of Directors approved a new normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 12 million of the Company's Common Shares, representing approximately 5.4% of the Company's public float of Common Shares. The primary purposes of the normal course issuer bid are purchases for cancellation as well as purchases to fund the Company's stock-based compensation awards or programs and/or its obligations to its deferred profit sharing plans.
