 | “Overall, our second quarter operating performance largely met our expectations, despite lower than anticipated volumes on certain key vehicle programs in North America. Our focus remains on factors we can control, including operational excellence, cost reductions, and flawless launches. These efforts, together with ongoing customer commercial discussions are enabling us to substantially maintain our 2024 Adjusted EBIT margin range. Our updated 2026 Outlook reflects customer program updates and a tempered view on mid-term electric vehicle penetration rates, particularly in North America. While we have reduced our sales forecast, we are taking a number of concrete actions to mitigate the sales impacts and continue to expect margin expansion and strong free cash flow growth.” – Swamy Kotagiri, Chief Executive Officer |
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024
We posted sales of $11.0 billion for the second quarter of 2024, essentially unchanged from the second quarter of 2023, which compares to a 2% increase in global light vehicle production, including 6% and 1% higher production in China and North America, respectively, partially offset by 5% lower production in Europe. Our sales were negatively impacted by the end of production of certain programs, lower Complete Vehicle assembly volumes, including as a result of the end of production of the BMW 5-Series, and the net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar. These were offset by higher global light vehicle production, the launch of new programs, and acquisitions, net of divestitures, during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2023.
Adjusted EBIT was $577 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $616 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in Adjusted EBIT reflects reduced earnings on lower assembly volumes in Complete Vehicles, higher net warranty costs, the unfavourable impact of foreign exchange losses in the second quarter of 2024 compared to foreign exchange gains in the second quarter of 2023 related to the re-measurement of net deferred tax assets that are maintained in a currency other than their functional currency, lower equity income, and higher restructuring costs. These were partially offset by commercial items in the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, which had a net favourable impact on a year over year basis, productivity and efficiency improvements, including lower costs at certain underperforming facilities and lower net engineering costs, including spending related to our electrification and active safety businesses.
Income from operations before income taxes was $427 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $483 million in the second quarter of 2023, which includes Other expense, net(2) and Amortization of acquired intangibles of $96 million and $99 million in the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Excluding Other expense, net and Amortization of acquired intangibles from both periods, income from operations before income taxes decreased $59 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $313 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $339 million in the second quarter of 2023, which includes Other expense, net(2), after tax and Amortization of acquired intangibles of $76 million and $102 million in the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Excluding Other expense, net, after tax and Amortization of acquired intangibles from both periods, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. decreased $52 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Diluted earnings per share were $1.09 in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $1.18 in the second quarter of 2023, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.35 in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $1.54 in the second quarter of 2023.
(2) Other expense (income), net is comprised of restructuring and impairment costs relating to Fisker Inc. [“Fisker”], net losses on the revaluation of certain public company warrants and equity investments, gain on business combination, restructuring activities and transaction costs relating to the acquisition of Veoneer Active Safety Business [“Veoneer AS”] during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 & 2024. A reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is included in the back of this press release.
In the second quarter of 2024, we generated cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $681 million and generated $55 million in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities for the second quarter of 2024 included $500 million in fixed asset additions, a $170 million increase in investments, other assets and intangible assets, and $56 million for acquisitions.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024
We posted sales of $21.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 1% from the six months ended June 30, 2023, as global light vehicle production increased 1%, including 7% and 2% higher production in China and North America, respectively, partially offset by 5% lower production in Europe.
Adjusted EBIT decreased to $1.05 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.06 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to reduced earnings on lower assembly volumes in Complete Vehicles, the unfavourable impact of foreign exchange losses in the first six months of 2024 compared to foreign exchange gains in the first six months of 2023 related to the re-measurement of net deferred tax assets that are maintained in a currency other than their functional currency, higher production input costs net of customer recoveries, lower equity income, acquisitions, net of divestitures, during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2023, and higher restructuring costs. These were largely offset by productivity and efficiency improvements, including lower costs at certain underperforming facilities, commercial items in the first six months of 2024 and 2023, which had a net favourable impact on a year over year basis, lower net engineering costs, including spending related to our electrification and active safety businesses and lower launch, engineering and other costs associated with our assembly business.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, income from operations before income taxes was $461 million, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $322 million and diluted earnings per share was $1.12, decreases of $297 million, $226 million, and $0.79, respectively, each compared to the first six months of 2023.
During the first six months ended June 30, 2024, Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.44, compared to $2.69 in the first six months of 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we generated cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.3 billion and used $275 million in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included $993 million in fixed asset additions, a $295 million increase in investments, other assets and intangible assets, $86 million for acquisitions, and $21 million in public and private equity investments.
RETURN OF CAPITAL TO SHAREHOLDERS
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we paid $134 million in dividends.
Our Board of Directors declared a second quarter dividend of $0.475 per Common Share, payable on August 30, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 16, 2024.

2026 OUTLOOK
In the normal course, we do not update the third year of the Outlook we provide in February of each year. However, given the magnitude of the changes that are taking place in the automotive industry and the potential impacts on our business, management prepared a top-level analysis to update our 2026 Outlook provided in February 2024 for projected Sales, Adjusted EBIT Margin, Equity Income, and Capital Spending.
Given the higher-level nature and timing of this analysis, management is not currently able to provide 2026 forecasts with the same granularity as that provided in February 2024, particularly: Sales and Adjusted EBIT margin ranges by Segment for 2026; Megatrend Sales and Adjusted EBIT for the years 2024 to 2026; and 2027 Sales for Battery Enclosures, Powertrain Electrification and ADAS. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the forecasts for these measures provided in our February 2024 Outlook or other Investor presentations.
2026 Outlook Assumptions
| 2026 | |||
| Current | Previous | ||
| Light Vehicle Production (millions of units) North America Europe China | 16.1 17.3 30.6 | 16.1 17.3 30.6 | |

| Capital Spending | $1.6 – $1.8 billion | ||
| Notes: (6) Adjusted EBIT Margin is the ratio of Adjusted EBIT to Total Sales. Refer to the reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures in the back of this press release for further information | |||
Our Outlook is intended to provide information about management’s current expectations and plans and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although considered reasonable by Magna as of the date of this document, the 2024 and 2026 Outlooks above and the underlying assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from our expectations as set forth herein. The risks identified in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section below represent the primary factors which we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.
Key Drivers of Our Business
Our operating results are primarily dependent on the levels of North American, European, and Chinese car and light truck production by our customers. While we supply systems and components to every major original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), we do not supply systems and components for every vehicle, nor is the value of our content consistent from one vehicle to the next. As a result, customer and program mix relative to market trends, as well as the value of our content on specific vehicle production programs, are also important drivers of our results.
OEM production volumes are generally aligned with vehicle sales levels and thus affected by changes in such levels. Aside from vehicle sales levels, production volumes are typically impacted by a range of factors, including: labour disruptions; free trade arrangements and tariffs; relative currency values; commodities prices; supply chains and infrastructure; availability and relative cost of skilled labour; regulatory frameworks; 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: vehicle affordability; interest rates and/or availability of credit; fuel and energy prices; relative currency values; uncertainty as to consumer acceptance of EVs; government subsidies to consumers for the purchase of low- and zero-emission vehicles; and other factors.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION
Effective July 1, 2023, we revised our calculations of Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted diluted earnings per share 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 press release has also been updated to reflect the revised calculations.

Certain of the forward-looking financial measures above are provided on a Non-GAAP basis. We do not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To do so would be potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting items that are not reflective of on-going operations in any future period. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant.
