In this outlook we have assumed no material unannounced acquisitions or divestitures. In addition, we have assumed that foreign exchange rates for the most common currencies in which we conduct business relative to our U.S. dollar reporting currency will approximate year end 2015 rates.
Don Walker, Magnas Chief Executive Officer, commented: Magna has a tremendous amount of growth ahead, reflecting new business awards as well as recently completed acquisitions, including Getrag. We are highly focused on ensuring that we deliver strong returns on this sales growth.
