“We continue to mitigate industry headwinds including lower production volumes in each of our core regions. Our ongoing initiatives and results to date reinforce our conviction in our free cashflow outlook this year and beyond. As we continuously seek to optimize value creation, we are resuming share repurchases in the fourth quarter – ahead of our prior plan.”

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

We posted sales of $10.3 billion for the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 4% from the third quarter of 2023. The lower sales largely reflects a 4% decrease in global light vehicle production, including 6% lower production in each of North America and China and a 2% decline in Europe. In addition, sales were negatively impacted by the end of production of certain programs, and divestitures, net of acquisitions, partially offset by the launch of new programs and customer price increases to recover certain higher production input costs.

 

Adjusted EBIT decreased to $594 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $615 million in the third quarter of 2023. This mainly reflects reduced earnings on lower sales, higher production input costs net of customer recoveries, and lower equity income. These were partially offset by higher net favourable commercial items, continued productivity and efficiency improvements, including lower costs at certain underperforming facilities, lower net engineering costs, including spending related to our electrification and active safety businesses and the negative impact of the UAW labour strike during the third quarter of 2023.

 

Income from operations before income taxes increased to $700 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $538 million in the third quarter of 2023, which includes Other (income) expense, net(2) items and Amortization of acquired intangibles totaling ($160) million and $28 million in the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The most significant item in either period was the positive impact of recognizing $196 million of Fisker deferred revenue as the associated agreements were cancelled in the third quarter of 2024. Excluding Other (income) expense, net and Amortization of acquired intangibles from both periods, income from operations before income taxes decreased $26 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023, largely reflecting the decrease in Adjusted EBIT.

 

Net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $484 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $394 million in the third quarter of 2023, which includes Other (income) expense, net(2), after tax and Amortization of acquired intangibles totaling $(115) million and $25 million in the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Excluding Other (income) expense, net, after tax and Amortization of acquired intangibles from both periods, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. decreased $50 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023.

 

Diluted earnings per share were $1.68 in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $1.37 in the comparable period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.28 , down $0.18 from $1.46 for the third quarter of 2023, including $0.10 due to a higher income tax rate.

 

In the third quarter of 2024, we generated cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $785 million and used $58 million in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities for the third quarter of 2024 included $476 million in fixed asset additions, $115 million in investments, other assets and intangible assets and $1 million in private equity investments.

 

(2)  Other (income) expense, net is comprised of Fisker Inc. [“Fisker”] related impacts (restructuring and impairment of assembly and production assets, the impairment of Fisker warrants, and the recognition of previously deferred revenue), revaluations of certain public company warrants and equity investments, restructuring activities and gain on business combination, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 & 2024. A reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is included in the back of this press release.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

We posted sales of $32.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $32.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a period in which global light vehicle production decreased 1%.

 

Adjusted EBIT was $1.64 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1.68 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This reflects reduced earnings on lower sales, higher production input costs net of customer recoveries, reduced earnings on lower assembly volumes, acquisitions, net of divestitures, during or subsequent to the first nine months of 2023, and lower equity income. These were partially offset by continued productivity and efficiency improvements, including lower costs at certain underperforming facilities, higher net favourable commercial items, and lower net engineering costs, including spending related to our electrification and active safety businesses.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, income from operations before income taxes was $1.16 billion, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $806 million and diluted earnings per share were $2.81, decreases of $135 million, $136 million, and $0.48, respectively, each compared to the first nine months of 2023.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased 10% to $3.72, compared to the first nine months of 2023.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we generated cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.06 billion and invested $333 million in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities for the first nine months of 2024 included $1.47 billion in fixed asset additions, a $410 million increase in investments, other assets and intangible assets and $22 million in public and private equity investments.

 

RETURN OF CAPITAL

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we paid $138 million in dividends.

 

Our Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $0.475 per Common Share, payable on November 29, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2024.

 

OTHER MATTERS

 

Subject to the approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange, our Board of Directors approved a new Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") to purchase up to approximately 28.5 million of our Common Shares, representing approximately 10% of our public float of Common Shares. This NCIB is expected to commence on or about November 7, 2024 and will terminate one year later.

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 Outlook 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.

 

Adjusted EBIT

 

The following table reconciles net income to Adjusted EBIT:

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.

 

This press release together with our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position and our Interim Financial Statements are available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.magna.com/company/investors and filed electronically through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval + (SEDAR+) which can be accessed at http://www.sedarplus.ca as well as on the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR), which can be accessed at www.sec.gov.

 

We will hold a conference call for interested analysts and shareholders to discuss our third quarter ended September 30, 2024 results on Friday, November 1, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. ET.

HIGHLIGHTS

 

Comparing the third quarters of 2024 and 2023:

 

·Global light vehicle production decreased 4%, driven by 6% lower production in both North America and China, and a 2% decline in Europe.
·Total sales decreased 4%, mainly reflecting lower global light vehicle production, the end of production of certain programs, and the disposition of our metalforming operations in India, partially offset by the launch of new programs.
·In the third quarter of 2024 we recognized $196 million in Other income for previously deferred revenue related to our Fisker Inc. ["Fisker"] warrants since our agreement for manufacturing of the Fisker Ocean SUV was terminated.
·Largely as a result of higher Other (income) expense, net, diluted earnings per share increased to $1.68, compared to $1.37.
·Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) were $1.28, compared to $1.46. The decrease reflected reduced earnings on lower sales, higher net production input costs, lower equity income, and a higher income tax rate, partially offset by higher favourable commercial items, and the benefits of operational excellence activities.
·Cash from operating activities decreased $70 million to $727 million.

 

In addition, in the third quarter of 2024 we paid dividends of $138 million.

 

Subject to the approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange, our Board of Directors approved a new Normal Course Issuer Bid ["NCIB"] to purchase up to 28.5 million of our Common Shares, representing approximately 10% of our public float of Common Shares. This NCIB is expected to commence on or about November 7, 2024 and will terminate one year later.

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: 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 electric vehicles ["EVs"]; government subsidies to consumers for the purchase of low- and zero-emission vehicles; 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 are 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, advanced driver assistance systems, connectivity, as well as future mobility business models. Our short and medium-term operational success, as well as our ability to create long-term value through our business strategy, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Significant industry trends, our business strategy, and the major risks we face, are discussed in our Annual Information Form ["AIF"] and Annual Report on Form 40-F ["Form 40-F"] in respect of the year ended December 31, 2023, together with subsequent filings. Those industry trends and risk factors remain substantially unchanged in respect of the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, except as follows:

 

·Increasing Trade Protectionism: in 2024 and 2025, 19 out of the 28 countries in which we operate will have held or will hold elections. Electoral outcomes could lead to policy shifts affecting the automotive industry, including through imposition of tariffs and trade barriers, and/or revised regulatory approaches to CO2 emissions, safety standards, software and data privacy and access to rare earth minerals, among others. Trade protectionism continues to increase - for example, both the U.S. and the E.U. have imposed significant tariffs on Chinese EVs imported into their markets. In response, China has imposed reciprocal duties on luxury internal combustion engine ["ICE"] vehicles imported from these regions. In North America, both major candidates in the upcoming U.S. Presidential election in November 2024 have expressed their intention to use the existing renegotiation process in the USMCA to secure better trade terms for the U.S. One candidate’s platform includes the potential imposition of significant tariffs on all U.S. trading partners, which could escalate into a global trade/tariff war. While it is too early to determine the specific implications for Magna, trade and tariff wars can pose risks such as increased inflation and borrowing costs, reduced economic growth, and a decline in stock market prices.

 

·Fisker Bankruptcy: On September 17, 2024 the restructuring plan of Fisker GmbH ["Fisker Austria"] was approved by an Austrian insolvency court, with the Chapter 11 bankruptcy liquidation plan of its parent company Fisker Inc. ["Fisker"] approved by a U.S. bankruptcy court on October 16, 2024. In spite of the completion of such bankruptcy proceedings involving Fisker and Fisker Austria, Magna remains exposed to risks related to contractual obligations and cancellation claims from its suppliers of approximately $50 million in relation to the termination of production of the Fisker Ocean SUV.  Additionally, Magna could face warranty, recall and other third-party product-related claims related to its role as contract manufacturer and supplier of various components on such vehicle. At this time, it is not possible to estimate the full extent of Magna’s potential exposure. However, if significant, such claims could have a material adverse effect on Magna’s 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, 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. 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 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 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.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

AVERAGE FOREIGN EXCHANGE

 

   For the three months
ended September 30,		   For the nine months
ended September 30,		 
   2024  2023  Change   2024  2023  Change 
1 Canadian dollar equals U.S. dollars   0.733   0.746  - 2%  0.735   0.744  - 1%
1 euro equals U.S. dollars   1.099   1.088  + 1%  1.087   1.083  — 
1 Chinese renminbi equals U.S. dollars   0.140   0.138  + 1%  0.139   0.142  - 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 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:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

SALES

 

 

  

Sales decreased 4% or $408 million to $10.28 billion for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $10.69 billion for the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to:

 

·lower global light vehicle production;
·the end of production of certain programs;
·divestitures, net of acquisitions, during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2023, which negatively impacted sales by $55 million;
·lower complete vehicle assembly volumes; and
·net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of 2023.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2023;
·customer price increases to recover certain higher production input costs;
·the negative impact of the UAW labour strike, which decreased third quarter 2023 sales by approximately $50 million; and
·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar sales by $33 million.

 

COST OF GOODS SOLD

 

   For the three months     
   ended September 30,     
   2024   2023   Change 
Material  $6,157   $6,512   $(355)
Direct labour   757    745    12 
Overhead   1,914    2,007    (93)
Cost of goods sold  $8,828   $9,264   $(436)

 

Cost of goods sold decreased $436 million to $8.83 billion for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $9.26 billion for the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to:

 

·lower material, direct labour and overhead associated with lower production sales;
·a decrease in material, direct labour and overhead costs associated with lower sales in our Complete Vehicles segment, which has a higher material content compared to our consolidated average;
·commercial items in the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, which had a net favourable impact on a year over year basis;
·the impact of operational excellence and cost initiatives; and
·divestitures, net of acquisitions, during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2023, which negatively impacted cost of goods sold.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·higher production input costs net of customer recoveries, including for labour and certain commodities;
·the negative impact of the UAW labour strike during the third quarter of 2023;
·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar costs of goods sold by $27 million; and
·an increase in net warranty costs of $14 million.

 

DEPRECIATION

 

Depreciation increased $26 million to $384 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $358 million for the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to increased capital deployed at new and existing facilities including to support the launch of programs subsequent to the third quarter of 2023, partially offset by the end of production of certain programs.

 

4Magna International Inc. Third Quarter Report 2024 

 

 

AMORTIZATION OF ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Amortization of acquired intangible assets decreased $4 million to $28 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $32 million for the third quarter of 2023.

 

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

 

SG&A expense decreased $4 million to $487 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $491 million for the third quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of:

 

·lower legal fees, including costs incurred during the third quarter of 2023 due to the acquisition of Veoneer AS and financing activities; and
·lower provisions against certain accounts receivable and other balances.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·a $9 million unfavourable impact of higher foreign exchange losses in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 related to the re-measurement of net deferred tax assets that are denominated in a currency other than their functional currency;
·lower net transactional foreign exchange gains in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023; and
·higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities.

 

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

 

During the third quarter of 2024, we recorded net interest expense of $54 million compared to $49 million for the third quarter of 2023. The $5 million increase is primarily a result of interest expense on higher short-term borrowing, and Senior Notes issued during first and second quarter of 2024 at a higher interest rate than the Senior Notes repaid during the second quarter of 2024 and fourth quarter of 2023. These factors were partially offset by higher interest income earned on cash and investments due to higher interest rates.

 

EQUITY INCOME

 

Equity income decreased $27 million to $13 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $40 million for the third quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of reduced earnings due to commercial items in the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, which had an unfavourable impact on a year over year basis, and unfavourable product mix and reduced earnings due to lower sales at certain equity-accounted entities. These factors were partially offset by lower launch costs.

(1)Impacts related to Fisker

 

During 2024, Fisker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States and for similar protection in Austria. In connection with this, we recorded impairment charges on our Fisker related assets during the year, as well as restructuring charges in the first quarter of 2024. In the course of such bankruptcy proceedings, we terminated our manufacturing agreement for the Fisker Ocean SUV during the third quarter of 2024, as a result of which we recognized $196 million of previously deferred revenue related to our Fisker warrants.

 

Impairment of Fisker related assets

 

During the first quarter of 2024, we recorded a $261 million [$205 million after tax] impairment charge on our Fisker related assets including production receivables, inventory, fixed assets and other capitalized expenditures. In connection with purchase obligations and supplier settlements related to the Fisker program, we recorded an additional $19 million [$15 million after tax] of charges in the second quarter of 2024, and $7 million [$5 million after tax] of charges in the third quarter of 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, impairment charges totaled $287 million [$225 million after tax] on our Fisker related assets.

   $5   $161   $22   $99   $287 

 

We continue to be exposed to risks related to contractual obligations and cancellation claims from our suppliers of approximately $50 million in relation to the termination of production of the Fisker Ocean SUV.

 

Impairment of Fisker warrants and recognition of the related deferred revenue

 

Fisker issued approximately 19.5 million penny warrants to us to purchase common stock in connection with our agreements with Fisker for platform sharing, engineering and manufacturing of the Fisker Ocean SUV. These warrants vested during 2021 and 2022 based on specified milestones and were marked to market each quarter.

 

During the first quarter of 2024, we recorded a $33 million [$25 million after tax] impairment charge on these warrants reducing the value of the warrants to nil.

 

When the warrants were issued and the vesting provisions realized, we recorded offsetting amounts to deferred revenue within other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. Portions of this deferred revenue were recognized in income as performance obligations were satisfied. During the third quarter of 2024, the agreement for manufacturing of the Fisker Ocean SUV was terminated, and we recognized the remaining $196 million of previously deferred revenue in income. Relevant bankruptcy protection laws had prevented the earlier termination of the agreement and the recognition of the related deferred revenue by us.

During the third quarter of 2023, we recorded restructuring charges of $7 million [$5 million after tax] and an $8 million [$7 million after tax] gain on the sale of a building as a result of restructuring activities in our Power & Vision segment.

 

(4)Operations in Russia

 

During the third quarter of 2023, we completed the sale of all of our investments in Russia resulting in a loss of $16 million [$16 million after tax] including a net cash outflow of $23 million.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS BEFORE INCOME TAXES

 

Income from operations before income taxes was $700 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $538 million for the third quarter of 2023. This $162 million increase is a result of the following changes, each as discussed above:

 

   For the three months     
   ended September 30,     
   2024   2023   Change 
Sales  $10,280   $10,688   $(408)

Other (income) expense, net   (188)   (4)   (184)
Income from operations before income taxes  $700   $538   $162 

 

INCOME TAXES

 

   For the three months ended September 30, 
   2024   2023 
Income Taxes as reported  $192    27.4%  $121    22.5%
Tax effect on Other (income) expense, net and Amortization of acquired intangible assets   (45)   (0.2)   3    (0.6)
   $147    27.2%  $124    21.9%

 

Excluding the tax effect on Other (income) expense, net and Amortization of acquired intangible assets, our effective income tax rate increased to 27.2% for the third quarter of 2024 compared to 21.9% for the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to unfavourable foreign exchange adjustments recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes and a change in mix of earnings.

 

INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

 

Income attributable to non-controlling interests was $24 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $23 million for the third quarter of 2023. This $1 million increase was due to higher net income at our non-wholly owned operations in China.

 

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.

 

Net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $484 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $394 million for the third quarter of 2023. This $90 million increase was as a result of an increase in income from operations before income taxes of $162 million partially offset by an increase in income taxes of $71 million and an increase in income attributable to non-controlling interests of $1 million.

Diluted earnings per share was $1.68 for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $1.37 for the third quarter of 2023. The $0.31 increase was as a result of higher net income attributable to Magna International Inc., as discussed above.

 

Other (income) expense, net, and the Amortization of acquired intangible assets, each after tax, positively impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.40 in the third quarter of 2024 and negatively impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.09 in the third quarter of 2023, respectively. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, as reconciled in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation" section, was $1.28 for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $1.46 for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.18.

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 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023:

 

          Adjusted EBIT 
       Adjusted  as a percentage 
   Sales   EBIT  of sales 
Third quarter of 2023  $10,688   $615   5.8%
Increase (decrease) related to:              
Body Exteriors & Structures   (316)   (85) -0.6%
Power & Vision   92    58  +0.5%
Seating Systems   (150)   (19) -0.1%
Complete Vehicles   (26)   32  +0.3%
Corporate and Other   (8)   (7) -0.1%
Third quarter of 2024  $10,280   $594   5.8%

 

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales was 5.8% for the third quarters of 2024 and 2023. Factors increasing Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales included:

 

·commercial items in the third 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
·the negative impact of the UAW labour strike during the third quarter of 2023.

 

These factors were offset by:

 

·reduced earnings on lower sales;
·higher production input costs net of customer recoveries, including for labour and certain commodities;
·lower equity income;
·higher net warranty costs;
·reduced earnings on lower assembly volumes;
·supply chain premiums, partially as a result of a supplier bankruptcy;
·higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities; and
·higher launch costs.

ADJUSTED RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL

 

 

 

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital decreased to 9.0% for the third quarter of 2024 compared to 10.3% for the third quarter of 2023 as a result of a decrease in Adjusted After-tax operating profits and higher Average Invested Capital.

 

Average Invested Capital increased $596 million to $19.24 billion for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $18.64 billion for the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to:

 

·average investment in fixed assets in excess of average depreciation expense on fixed assets;
·acquisitions, net of divestitures, during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2023; and
·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·a decrease in average operating assets and liabilities;
·impairments and restructuring related to Fisker during the first nine months of 2024; and
·lower net investments in public and private equity companies and public company warrants.

·Chevrolet Bolt EV; and
·Ford Edge;

 

·lower production on certain programs;
·divestitures during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2023, which decreased sales by $61 million; and

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·the launch of programs during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2023, including the:

 

·Chevrolet Equinox and Blazer EV;
·Volvo EX90; and
·BMW X2;

·the negative impact of the UAW labour strike, which decreased third quarter 2023 sales by approximately $35 million;

(i)     Vehicles produced at our Complete Vehicle operations are included in Europe Light Vehicle Production volumes.

 

 

Sales – Complete Vehicles

 

Sales decreased 2% or $26 million to $1.16 billion for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $1.19 billion for the third quarter of 2023 and assembly volumes decreased 32%. The decrease in sales is substantially a result of lower assembly volumes, including the Fisker Ocean, partially offset by favourable program mix and a $12 million increase in reported U.S. dollar sales due to the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.

 

 

 

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

 

Adjusted EBIT was $27 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to a loss of $5 million for the third quarter of 2023 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased to 2.3%. These increases were primarily due to:

 

·commercial items in the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, which had a net favourable impact on a year over year basis;
·lower launch, engineering and other costs; and
·lower recurring restructuring costs.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·lower engineering margins on reduced engineering sales; and
·reduced earnings on lower assembly volumes.

 

Magna International Inc. Third Quarter Report 2024  15

 

 

CORPORATE AND OTHER

 

Adjusted EBIT was a loss of $36 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to a loss of $29 million for the third quarter of 2023. The $7 million decrease was primarily the result of:

 

·a $9 million unfavourable impact of higher foreign exchange losses in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 related to the re-measurement of net deferred tax assets that are denominated in a currency other than their functional currency; and
·a decrease in fees received from our divisions.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·lower legal fees, including costs incurred during the third quarter of 2023 due to the acquisition of Veoneer AS and financing activities; and
·lower net transactional foreign exchanges losses in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023.

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

 

Adjusted EBIT decreased $18 million to $156 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $174 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales decreased to 3.6% from 3.8%. These decreases were primarily due to:

 

·reduced earnings on lower sales; and
·higher recurring restructuring costs.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·lower launch costs;
·customer recoveries, net of higher production input costs primarily related to business in Argentina; and
·commercial items in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, which had a net favourable impact on a year over year basis.

Sales – Complete Vehicles

 

Sales decreased 13% or $553 million to $3.78 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $4.34 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and assembly volumes decreased 33%. The decrease in sales is substantially a result of lower assembly volumes, including the end of production of the BMW 5-Series. This factor was partially offset by:

 

·favourable program mix;
·commercial items in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, which had a net favourable impact on a year over year basis; and
·a $12 million increase in reported U.S. dollar sales due to 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 $7 million to $74 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $81 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 while Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased to 2.0% from 1.9%. The decrease in Adjusted EBIT was substantially due to reduced earnings on lower assembly volumes.

 

The negative impact of lower volumes was partially offset by:

 

·commercial items in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, which had a net favourable impact on a year over year basis;
·lower recurring restructuring costs; and
·lower launch, engineering and other costs.

 

CORPORATE AND OTHER

 

Adjusted EBIT was a loss of $77 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a loss of $36 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The $41 million decrease was primarily the result of:

 

·a $50 million unfavourable impact of foreign exchange losses in the first nine months of 2024 compared to foreign exchange gains in the first nine months of 2023 related to the re-measurement of net deferred tax assets that are denominated in a currency other than their functional currency;
·increased investments in research, development and new mobility; and
·a decrease in fees received from our divisions.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·lower incentive compensation;
·lower legal fees, including costs incurred during the first nine months of 2023 due to the acquisition of Veoneer AS and financing activities;
·net transactional foreign exchange gains in the first nine months of 2024 compared to net transactional foreign exchange losses during in the first nine months of 2023; and
·gain on sale of an equity-method investment during the first quarter of 2024.

ADJUSTED EBIT AS A PERCENTAGE OF SALES

 

 

The table below shows the change in Magna's Sales and Adjusted EBIT by segment and the impact each segment's changes have on Magna's Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

 

           Adjusted EBIT 
       Adjusted   as a percentage 
   Sales   EBIT   of sales 
Nine months ended September 30, 2023  $32,343   $1,680    5.2%
Increase (decrease) related to:               
Body Exteriors & Structures   (401)   (112)  -0.3%
Power & Vision   1,075    138   +0.3%
Seating Systems   (329)   (18)   — 
Complete Vehicles   (553)   (7)  +0.1%
Corporate and Other   73    (41)  -0.2%
Nine months ended September 30, 2024  $32,208   $1,640   5.1%

 

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales decreased to 5.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 5.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to:

 

·higher production input costs net of customer recoveries, including for labour, partially offset by lower prices for energy;
·reduced earnings on lower assembly volumes;
·acquisitions, net of divestitures, during and subsequent to the first nine months of 2023;
·lower equity income;
·an unfavourable impact of foreign exchange losses in the first nine months of 2024 compared to foreign exchange gains in the first nine months of 2023 related to the re-measurement of net deferred tax assets that are denominated in a currency other than their functional currency;
·higher net warranty costs;
·supply chain premiums, partially as a result of a supplier bankruptcy; and
·higher recurring restructuring costs.

 

These factors were offset by:

 

·productivity and efficiency improvements, including lower costs at certain underperforming facilities;
·commercial items in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, which had a net favourable impact on a year over year basis; and
·lower net engineering costs, including spending related to our electrification and active safety businesses.

ADJUSTED RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL

 

 

 

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital decreased to 8.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 10.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of higher Average Invested Capital and a decrease in Adjusted After-tax operating profits.

 

Average Invested Capital increased $1.57 billion to $19.06 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $17.48 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to:

 

·average investment in fixed assets in excess of average depreciation expense on fixed assets;
·acquisitions, net of divestitures, during and subsequent to the first nine months of 2023; and
·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·impairments and restructuring related to Fisker during the first nine months of 2024;
·a decrease in average operating assets and liabilities; and
·lower net investments in public and private equity companies and public company warrants.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

 

Subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange ["TSX"], our Board of Directors approved a new normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 28.5 million of our Common Shares, representing approximately 10% 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 its obligations to its deferred profit sharing plans. The normal course issuer bid is expected to commence on or about November 7, 2024 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 or on the New York Stock Exchange ["NYSE"] in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Purchases may also be made through alternative trading systems in Canada and the U.S., or by such other means permitted by the TSX, including by private agreement or specific share repurchase program at a discount to the prevailing market price, pursuant to an issuer bid exemption order issued by a securities regulatory authority.

 

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

From time to time, we may be contingently liable for litigation, legal and/or regulatory actions and proceedings and other claims. Refer to Note 14, "Contingencies" of our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, which describes these claims.

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 financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2023 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, 2024 and the results of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

[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.

[a]Impacts related to Fisker

 

During 2024, Fisker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States and for similar protection in Austria. In connection with this, the Company recorded impairment charges on its Fisker related assets during the year, as well as restructuring charges in the first quarter of 2024. In the course of such bankruptcy proceedings, the Company terminated its manufacturing agreement for the Fisker Ocean SUV during the third quarter of 2024, as a result of which the Company recognized $196 million of previously deferred revenue related to its Fisker warrants.

 

Impairment of Fisker related assets

 

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $261 million [$205 million after tax] impairment charge on its Fisker related assets including production receivables, inventory, fixed assets and other capitalized expenditures. In connection with purchase obligations and supplier settlements related to the Fisker program, the Company recorded an additional $19 million [$15 million after tax] of charges in the second quarter of 2024, and $7 million [$5 million after tax] of charges in the third quarter of 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, impairment charges totaled $287 million [$225 million after tax] on our Fisker related assets.

 

The following table summarizes the net asset impairments for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, by segment:

 

   Body
Exteriors &
Structures		   Power &
Vision		   Seating
Systems		   Complete

Operating lease right-of-use assets        1    —    1    —    2 
  $5   $161   $22   $99   $287 

 

The Company continues to be exposed to risks related to contractual obligations and cancellation claims from its suppliers of approximately $50 million in relation to the termination of production of the Fisker Ocean SUV.

 

Impairment of Fisker warrants and recognition of the related deferred revenue

 

Fisker issued approximately 19.5 million penny warrants to the Company to purchase common stock in connection with our agreements with Fisker for platform sharing, engineering and manufacturing of the Fisker Ocean SUV. These warrants vested during 2021 and 2022 based on specified milestones and were marked to market each quarter.

 

During the first quarter of 2024, Magna recorded a $33 million [$25 million after tax] impairment charge on these warrants reducing the value of the warrants to nil.

 

When the warrants were issued and the vesting provisions realized, the Company recorded offsetting amounts to deferred revenue within other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. Portions of this deferred revenue were recognized in income as performance obligations were satisfied. During the third quarter of 2024, the agreement for manufacturing of the Fisker Ocean SUV was terminated, and the Company recognized the remaining $196 million of previously deferred revenue in income. Relevant bankruptcy protection laws had prevented the earlier termination of the agreement and the recognition of the related deferred revenue by the Company.

[b]Supplier financing program

 

The Company has supplier financing programs with third-party financial institutions that provide financing to suppliers of tooling related materials. These arrangements allow 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 these programs as at September 30, 2024 were $113 million [$132 million at December 31, 2023] and are presented within accounts payable.

13.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 the common shares, [Level 2 inputs based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy], followed by an impairment review considering both qualitative and quantitative factors that may have a significant impact on the investee’s fair value.

 

Term Loans

 

The Company’s Term Loans consists of advances in the form of 1, 3 or 6-month loans that may be rolled over until the end of the 3 and 5-year terms. 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, 2024, the net book value of the Company's Senior Notes was $4.5 billion and the estimated fair value was $4.6 billion. The fair value of the Senior Notes are classified as Level 1 when quoted prices in active markets are available and Level 2 when the quoted prices are from less active markets or when other observable inputs are used to determine fair value.

 

[d]Credit risk

 

The Company's financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, debt investments, and foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts with positive fair values. Cash and cash equivalents, which consist of short-term investments, are only invested in bank term deposits and bank commercial paper with an investment grade credit rating. Credit risk is further reduced by limiting the amount which is invested in certain 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.

13.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to credit risk from its customers, substantially all of which are in the automotive industry and are subject to credit risks associated with the automotive industry. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, sales to the Company's six largest customers represented 73% and 74% of the Company's total sales; and substantially all of its sales are to customers with which the Company has ongoing contractual relationships. The Company conducts 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 the Company’s 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, 2024, the Company’s balance sheet exposure related to newer electric vehicle-focused customers was approximately $300 million. In determining the allowance for expected credit losses, the Company considers changes in customer's credit ratings, liquidity, customer's historical payments and loss experience, current economic conditions, and the Company's expectations of future economic conditions.

 

[e]Interest rate risk

 

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

 

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its Term Loans 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.

 

[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, 2024, 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       Weighted 
    U.S. dollar   average   Peso   average   Canadian   average   U.S dollar   average 
    amount   rate   amount   rate   amount   rate   amount   rate 
Buy   5   0.74077   402   0.04449   443   0.77954   2   0.89171 
(Sell)   (346)  1.28280   —   —   (7)  1.34994   (24)  1.09042 

 

Forward contracts mature at various dates through 2026. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed quarterly.

 

[g]Equity price risk

 

Public equity securities and warrants

 

The Company's public equity securities 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.

14.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.

 

In December 2023, the Company received a notification [the “Notification Letter”] from a customer informing the Company as to the customer’s initial determination that one of the Company’s operating groups bears responsibility for costs totaling $352 million related to two product recalls. The Notification Letter triggered a negotiation period regarding financial allocation of the total costs for the two recalls, which remains on-going. In the event such negotiations are not concluded successfully, the customer has discretion under its Terms and Conditions to debit Magna up to 50% of the parts and labour costs actually incurred related to the recalls. The Company believes that the product in question met the customer’s specifications, and accordingly, is vigorously contesting the customer’s determination. Magna does not currently anticipate any material liabilities.

 

In July 2024, a Tier 2 supplier filed a claim against the Company for alleged damages arising from de-sourcing of its component on one OEM customer’s applications, as well as volume shortfalls on another OEM customer’s applications containing the component. Although the supplier has indicated that its claim cannot be fully quantified at this time, the supplier has estimated that the aggregate amount of financial loss incurred will be approximately €250 million. The same supplier has also filed multiple patent infringement claims seeking a preliminary injunction restricting the Company’s sale of systems alleged to infringe the supplier’s patents, as well as monetary damages. On October 31, 2024, the applicable court granted the preliminary injunction but expressly allowed the Company to continue to supply its OEM customer with the systems on those vehicle models that it currently supplies. The Company disagrees with the court's ruling and will be filing an appeal. The Company continues to believe it has valid defenses to the supplier’s claims and is vigorously contesting all claims. Due to the early stage of the proceedings, it is too early to predict the final outcome.

 

15.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, 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.

16.SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

Normal Course Issuer Bid

 

Subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange ["TSX"], the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 28.5 million of the Company’s Common Shares, representing approximately 10% 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. The normal course issuer bid is expected to commence on or about November 7, 2024 and will terminate one year later.
