THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022

Sales were $9.4 billion, an increase of 4% over the second quarter of 2021, as global light vehicle production increased 2%, largely driven by a 14% increase in North America.

Adjusted EBIT of $358 million in the second quarter of 2022 decreased 36% from the second quarter of 2021, and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales decreased to 3.8% compared to 6.2%, both largely as a result of higher net production input costs, as well as operating inefficiencies and other costs at a facility in Europe.

(Loss) income from operations before income taxes was $(88) million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $540 million in the second quarter of 2021. Included in loss from operations before income taxes in the second quarter of 2022 were Other expense, net items totaling $426 million, primarily comprised of impairment charges and net unrealized losses related to the revaluation of certain public and private equity securities. Included in income from operations before income taxes in the second quarter of 2021 were Other expense, net items totaling $6 million, comprised of net restructuring costs, partially offset by unrealized gains related to the revaluation of certain public and private equity securities. Excluding Other expense, net from both periods, income from operations before income taxes decreased $208 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Net (loss) income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $(156) million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $424 million for the second quarter of 2021. Included in net (loss) income attributable to Magna International Inc. in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021 were Other expense, net items totaling $399 million and $2 million after tax, respectively. Excluding Other expense, net from both periods, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. decreased $183 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Diluted (loss) earnings per share decreased to $(0.54) in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $1.40 in the second quarter of 2021 and Adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased 41% to $0.83 compared to $1.40.

In the second quarter of 2022, we generated cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $560 million and used $139 million in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities for the second quarter of 2022 included $329 million in fixed asset additions, an $80 million increase in investments, other assets and intangible assets, and $2 million in public and private equity investments.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022

We posted sales of $19.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of 1% from the six months ended June 30, 2021, as global light vehicle production decreased 2%.

Adjusted EBIT decreased to $865 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, largely due to higher net production input costs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, income from operations before income taxes was $332 million, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $208 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.70, decreases of $1.0 billion, $831 million, and $2.72, respectively, each compared to the first six months of 2021.

During the first six months ended June 30, 2022, Adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased 35% to $2.11 compared to the first six months of 2021.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we generated cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.3 billion and used $708 million in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included $567 million in fixed asset additions, a $144 million increase in investments, other assets and intangible assets, and $4 million in public and private equity investments.

RETURN OF CAPITAL AND OTHER MATTERS

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we paid $130 million in dividends and $212 million to repurchase 3.5 million shares, substantially for cancellation.

Our Board of Directors declared a second quarter dividend of $0.45 per Common Share, payable on August 26, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 12, 2022.

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 2022 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: general economic and political conditions; labour disruptions; free trade arrangements; tariffs; relative currency values; commodities prices; supply chains; infrastructure; availability and relative cost of skilled labour; regulatory considerations, including those related to environmental emissions and safety standards; and other factors. Additionally, COVID-19 can impact vehicle production volumes, including through: mandatory stay-at-home orders which restrict production; elevated employee absenteeism; and supply chain disruptions.

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

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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this press release constitute "forward-looking information" or "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). Any such forward-looking statements are intended to provide information about management's current expectations and plans and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements may include financial and other projections, as well as statements regarding our future plans, strategic 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", "aim", "forecast", "outlook", "project", "estimate", "target" and similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events to identify forward-looking statements. The following table identifies the material forward-looking statements contained in this document, together with the material potential risks that we currently believe could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Readers should also consider all of the risk factors which follow below the table:

Material Forward-Looking Statement	Material Potential Risks Related to Applicable Forward-Looking Statement

Adjusted EBIT Margin Net Income Attributable to Magna	Same risks as for Total Sales and Segment Sales above Operational underperformance Higher costs incurred to mitigate the risk of supply disruptions, including: materials price increases; higher-priced substitute supplies; premium freight costs to expedite shipments; production inefficiencies due to production lines being stopped/restarted unexpectedly based on customers' production schedules; price increases from sub-suppliers that have been negatively impacted by production inefficiencies; and potential claims against us if customer production is disrupted Inability to offset inflationary price increases Price concessions Commodity cost volatility Higher labour costs Tax risks
Equity Income	Same risks as Adjusted EBIT Margin and Net Income Attributable to Magna Risks related to conducting business through joint ventures
Free Cash Flow	Same risks as for Total Sales/Segment Sales, and Adjusted EBIT Margin and Net Income Attributable to Magna above

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. While we believe we have a reasonable basis for making any such forward-looking statements, they are not a guarantee of future performance or outcomes.
