MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position

 

Unless otherwise noted, all amounts in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position ["MD&A"] are in U.S. dollars and all tabular amounts are in millions of U.S. dollars, except per share figures, which are in U.S. dollars. When we use the terms "we", "us", "our" or "Magna", we are referring to Magna International Inc. and its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities, unless the context otherwise requires.

 

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included in this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our 2019 Annual Report to Shareholders.

 

This MD&A may contain statements that are forward looking. Refer to the "Forward-Looking Statements" section in this MD&A for a more detailed discussion of our use of forward-looking statements.

 

This MD&A has been prepared as at November 5, 2020.

 

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 (loss) before interest and taxes ["Adjusted EBIT"], Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, Return on Invested Capital, Adjusted Return on Invested Capital and Return on Equity [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 for this purpose. 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 Return on Invested Capital and Return on Equity are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of our results of operations and reflect our ability to generate returns. Similarly, 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 or loss 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.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

·Automotive light vehicle sales and production in our primary markets of North America and Europe continued to ramp up in the third quarter of 2020 following significant COVID-19 related declines experienced in the first half of 2020.

·Comparing the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2019:

·Total sales decreased 2% to $9.1 billion, compared to 4% lower global light vehicle production, reflecting a decline of 5% in Europe and essentially level production in North America.

·Diluted earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.35 and $1.95, respectively. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 38% despite the lower sales in the quarter, largely reflecting:

·cost savings and efficiencies realized, including as a result of restructuring actions taken;

·the benefit of COVID-19 related government employee support programs;

·the negative impact of lost vehicle production as a result of the labour strike at GM that was reflected in our results in the third quarter of 2019; and

·a lower share count.

·Other expense, net was $316 million compared to $859 million. Other expense in the current quarter consisted of a $337 million non-cash impairment charge, partially offset by a $21 million non-cash gain on investments.

·Cash from operating activities was $1.6 billion compared to $750 million.

·We paid a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share.

·Our complete vehicle manufacturing operation in China began to launch the Arcfox α-T, the first vehicle in the all-new Arcfox brand for BJEV.

·We signed an agreement to acquire majority ownership of Honglizhixin (HLZX), a leading supplier to Chinese automakers.  The acquisition will expand our seating capabilities across China.

·We signed agreements with Fisker Inc. ["Fisker"] that provide the framework for a platform sharing and manufacturing cooperation for the Fisker Ocean SUV. Production is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2022.

·Our Board of Directors appointed Seetarama (Swamy) Kotagiri as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), effective January 1, 2021. Don Walker, who has served as CEO between 1994 and 2001, and since 2005, will retire at the end of 2020.

OVERVIEW

 

OUR BUSINESS(1)

 

We are a mobility technology company. We have more than 157,000 entrepreneurial-minded employees and 344 manufacturing operations and 93 product development, engineering and sales centres in 27 countries. We have complete vehicle engineering and contract manufacturing expertise, as well as product capabilities which include body, chassis, exterior, seating, powertrain, active driver assistance, electronics, mechatronics, mirrors, lighting and roof systems. Magna also has electronic and software capabilities across many of these areas. Our common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (MG) and the New York Stock Exchange (MGA).

 

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON OUR BUSINESS

 

While many of our manufacturing facilities had temporarily suspended operations in the first and second quarters of 2020, all of our facilities had resumed production and were operating in the third quarter. While we have not experienced further COVID-related shutdowns since the resumption of production, we are closely monitoring rising global COVID-19 infection rates, which could create the risk of production and supply disruptions during or after the fourth quarter. If necessary, we will adjust our own production plans in-line with our customers' production plans, governmental orders and legal requirements in each of the markets in which we operate.

 

Earlier this year, we developed and implemented COVID-19 protocols, assessment tools and guidance documents to support our objective of responsibly managing the health and safety of our employees, which remains our number one priority. Our current best understanding regarding management of COVID-related health risks to our employees is reflected in our dynamic "Smart Start Playbook", a guide which includes a streamlined set of checklists and practical recommendations based on guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as the World Health Organization. The dynamic Smart Start Playbook evolved from the playbook which guided the restart of our operations following COVID-19-related shutdowns. Our medical and health and safety staff continue to comply with applicable legal requirements and are working in coordination with public health authorities, as well as the medical directors of our OEM customers. Lessons learned, along with insights gained and best practices shared earlier in the year, are assisting us in preparing for the current and future phases of the pandemic.

 

Although we currently believe that the most severe short-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic occurred in the first half of 2020, its full effect and longer-term impacts may not be reflected in our results of operations and overall financial performance until future periods. It is difficult to accurately assess the continuing magnitude, outcome and duration of the pandemic. However, a prolonged pandemic, including as a result of second or subsequent waves, could further:

 

·deteriorate economic conditions, resulting in lower consumer confidence which typically translates into lower vehicle sales and production levels;

·reduce our customers' production volumes, including as a result of continued or intermittent shutdowns of any of our customers', suppliers' or our own facilities;

·elevate the financial pressure on our customers, which could lead to an OEM insolvency, and would likely increase financial pressure on us and the entire automotive supply chain;

·result in elevated absenteeism or cause potential shortages of employees to staff our facilities, or the facilities of our customers or suppliers;

·lead to prolonged disruptions of critical components, including as a result of the bankruptcy/insolvency of one or more suppliers due to worsening economic conditions; or

·result in governmental regulation adversely impacting our business.

 

Any or all of the above impacts of a prolonged pandemic could have a rapid, unexpected and material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have incurred restructuring and impairment charges to date in 2020, including as a result of factors caused or aggravated by COVID-19, and could incur additional such charges in the fourth quarter. Irrespective of whether the pandemic is prolonged, the significant global economic impact and job losses to date are likely to affect household income and wealth beyond 2020, which would directly affect vehicle sales and thus production as well.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

AVERAGE FOREIGN EXCHANGE

 

   For the three months    For the nine months 
   ended September 30,    ended September 30, 
   2020   2019   Change    2020    2019   Change 
1 Canadian dollar equals U.S. dollars   0.751    0.757   -       1%    0.739     0.752   - 2%
1 euro equals U.S. dollars   1.170    1.112   + 5%    1.124     1.124      
1 Chinese renminbi equals U.S. dollars   0.145    0.142   + 2%    0.143     0.146   - 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2020 impacted the reported U.S. dollar amounts of our sales, expenses and income.

 

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.

 

LIGHT VEHICLE PRODUCTION VOLUMES

 

Our operating results are mostly dependent on light vehicle production in the regions reflected in the table below:

 

Light Vehicle Production Volumes (thousands of units)

 

   For the three months   For the nine months 
   ended September 30,   ended September 30,

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

 

SALES

 

 

Sales decreased 2% or $190 million to $9.13 billion for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $9.32 billion for the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to:

 

·the impact of lower assembly volumes and lower European light vehicle production;

·the end of production of certain programs; and

·net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of 2019.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2019;

·the negative impact of lost vehicle production as a result of the labour strike at GM that was reflected in our results in the third quarter of 2019; and

·the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased sales by $117 million.

 

The changes in sales are discussed further in the "Segment Analysis" section of this MD&A.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

 

   For the three months     
   ended September 30,     
   2020   2019   Change 
Material  $5,532   $5,802   $(270)
Direct labour   626    680    (54)
Overhead   1,523    1,581    (58)
Cost of goods sold  $7,681   $8,063   $(382)

 

Cost of goods sold decreased $382 million to $7.68 billion for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $8.06 billion for the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to:

 

·lower material, direct labour and overhead costs associated with lower sales;

·the benefit of COVID-19 related government employee support programs;

·cost savings and efficiencies realized, including as a result of restructuring actions taken;

·lower launch costs; and

·lower spending associated with our former collaboration with Lyft.

 

These factors were partially offset by the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased cost of goods sold by $109 million, and the negative impact of the labour strike at GM during the third quarter of 2019.

 

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

 

Depreciation and amortization was $334 million for the third quarter of 2020 and $335 million for the third quarter 2019. The net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, primarily the euro, increased reported U.S. dollar depreciation and amortization by $5 million.

 

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

 

SG&A expense decreased $20 million to $380 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $400 million for the third quarter of 2019, primarily as a result of:

 

·cost savings and efficiencies realized, including reduced discretionary spending, travel costs and short-term and long-term incentive compensation;

·lower corporate research & development spending; and

·lower labour and benefit costs.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·transactional foreign exchange losses in the third quarter of 2020 compared to transactional foreign exchange gains in the third quarter of 2019; and

·a $7 million increase in reported U.S. dollar SG&A expense primarily due to the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.

 

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

 

During the third quarter of 2020, we recorded net interest expense of $26 million compared to $18 million for the third quarter of 2019. The $8 million increase is primarily as a result of an increase in long-term borrowings and lower interest income earned on cash balances.

 

EQUITY INCOME

 

Equity income increased $7 million to $44 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $37 million for the third quarter of 2019, primarily as a result of lower depreciation at certain facilities partially offset by reduced earnings due to lower sales at our equity-accounted operations.

OTHER EXPENSE, NET

 

   For the three months 
   ended September 30, 
   2020   2019 
Impairments of investment (1)  $337   $700 
Restructuring and impairments (2)       34 
Net (gains) losses on investments (3)   (21)   127 
Gain on sale of Business (4)       (2)
   $316   $859 

 

 

(1)Impairments of investment

 

During the third quarter of 2020, we concluded that indicators of potential impairment were present related to our equity-accounted investment in Getrag (Jiangxi) Transmission Co., Ltd. ["GJT"], which makes both manual transmissions and dual-clutch transmissions ["DCTs"] and accordingly, recorded impairment charges of $337 million. The conclusion was based on lower than expected sales, increased pricing pressure in the China market, and declines in volume projections for the foreseeable future for manual transmissions and DCTs in China.

 

We recorded impairment charges of $700 million during the third quarter of 2019 on our investments in GJT [$511 million] and Dongfeng Getrag Transmission Co. Ltd. [$39 million] in China, and on our equity-accounted investment in Getrag Ford Transmission GmbH ["GFT"] [$150 million] in Europe.

 

The non-cash impairment charges for the third quarter of 2020 and 2019 were recorded within our Power & Vision segment as follows:

 

   For the three months 
   ended September 30, 
   2020   2019 
Other Expense  $337   $700 
Tax effect on Other Expense   (62)   (36)
Net loss   275    664 
Loss attributable to non-controlling interests related to Other Expense   (75)    (127)
Net loss attributable to Magna International Inc.  $200   $537 

 

(2)Restructuring and impairments

 

During the third quarter of 2019, we recorded asset impairment charges of $27 million [$20 million after tax] in an Electronics operation which is included in our Power & Vision segment and restructuring charges of $7 million [$7 million after tax] related to a certain European Body Exteriors & Structures operation.

 

(3)Net (gains) losses on investments

 

During the third quarter of 2020 we recorded unrealized gains of $21 million [$20 million after tax] on the revaluation of certain private equity investments.

 

The net loss on investments in the third quarter of 2019 was substantially related to the revaluation of our investment in Lyft, Inc. ["Lyft"] [$109 million after tax].

 

(4)Gain on sale of Business

 

During the third quarter of 2019, we adjusted the gain on the sale of our Fluid Pressure & Controls ["FP&C"] business by $2 million [$2 million after tax] as a result of finalizing the proceeds relating to working capital.

INCOME (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS BEFORE INCOME TAXES

 

Income (Loss) from operations before income taxes was income of $436 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to a loss of $319 million for the third quarter of 2019. This $755 million increase is a result of the following changes, each as discussed above:

 

   For the three months     
   ended September 30,     
   2020   2019   Change 
Sales  $9,129   $9,319   $(190)
                
Costs and expenses               
Cost of goods sold   7,681    8,063    (382)
Depreciation and amortization   334    335    (1)
Selling, general & administrative   380    400    (20)
Interest expense, net   26    18    8 
Equity income   (44)   (37)   (7)
Other expense, net   316    859    (543)
Income (Loss) from operations before income taxes  $436   $(319)  $755 

 

INCOME TAXES

 

   For the three months ended September 30, 
   2020   2019 
Income Taxes as reported  $109   25.0%  $45   (14.1%)
Tax effect on Other expense, net   61   (2.4)   61   33.7 
   $170   22.6%  $106   19.6%

 

Excluding the tax effect on Other expense, net, our effective income tax rate increased to 22.6% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 19.6% for the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to lower favourable changes in our reserves for uncertain tax positions partially offset by a change in the mix of earnings.

 

LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

 

Loss attributable to non-controlling interests decreased $53 million to $78 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $131 million for the third quarter of 2019 substantially all due to lower losses attributable to non-controlling interests relating to the impairment of assets recorded in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019.

 

NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.

 

Net income (loss) attributable to Magna International Inc. was income of $405 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to a loss of $233 million for the third quarter of 2019. This $638 million increase was as a result of: an increase in income from operations before income taxes of $755 million; partially offset by an increase in income taxes of $64 million; and a decrease in loss attributable to non-controlling interests of $53 million.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

     

 

   For the three months
ended September 30,
     
   2020   2019   % Change 
Earnings (loss) per Common Share               
Basic  $1.36   $(0.75)    
Diluted  $1.35  $(0.75)    
Weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding (millions)               
Basic   298.7    310.7   -4%
Diluted   299.4    310.7   -4%
Adjusted diluted earnings per share  $1.95   $1.41    38%

 

Diluted earnings per share was $1.35 for the third quarter of 2020 compared to a diluted loss per share of $0.75 for the third quarter of 2019. The $2.10 increase was substantially as a result of higher net income attributable to Magna International Inc., as discussed above, and a decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding was primarily due to the purchase and cancellation of Common Shares, during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2019, pursuant to our normal course issuer bids.

 

Other expense, net, after tax, and loss attributable to non-controlling interests related to the impairment of assets negatively impacted diluted earnings (loss) per share by $0.60 in the third quarter of 2020, and $2.16 in the third quarter of 2019, respectively, as discussed in the "Other expense, net", "Income Taxes" and Loss Attributable to "Non-Controlling Interests" sections above.

 

Adjusted diluted earnings per share, as reconciled in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation" section, was $1.95 for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $1.41 in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $0.54.

NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES - FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

 

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 change had on Magna's Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019:

 

   Sales   Adjusted
EBIT
   Adjusted EBIT
as a percentage
of sales
 
Third quarter of 2019  $9,319   $558    6.0%
(Decrease) Increase related to:               
Body Exteriors & Structures   (126)   84   +1.0%
Power & Vision   26    60   +0.6%
Seating Systems   14    10   +0.1%
Complete Vehicles   (114)   41   +0.5%
Corporate and Other   10    25   +0.3%
Third quarter of 2020  $9,129   $778    8.5%

 

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased 2.5% to 8.5% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 6.0% for the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to:

 

·cost savings and efficiencies realized, including as a result of restructuring actions taken;

·the benefit of COVID-19 related government employee support programs;

·the negative impact of the labour strike at GM during the third quarter of 2019;

·lower launch costs;

·productivity and efficiency improvements at certain underperforming facilities;

·lower spending associated with our former collaboration with Lyft; and

·favourable program mix in our Complete Vehicles segment.

 

These factors were partially offset by net foreign exchange losses in the third quarter of 2020 compared to net foreign exchange gains in the third quarter of 2019 and higher net warranty costs.

RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL

 

     

 

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital increased to 15.0% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 10.5% for the third quarter of 2019 as a result of an increase in Adjusted After-tax operating profits partially offset by lower Average Invested Capital. Other expense, net, after tax negatively impacted Return on Invested Capital by 6.4% in the third quarter of 2020, and 18.7% in the third quarter of 2019, respectively.

 

Average Invested Capital decreased $1.06 billion to $16.07 billion for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $17.13 billion for the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to:

 

·the impairment of assets recorded in the third quarters of 2020 and 2019;

·the sale of our investment in Lyft equity in the third and fourth quarters of 2019;

·average depreciation expense on fixed assets in excess of our average investment in fixed assets; and

·a decrease in average non-cash working capital.

 

RETURN ON EQUITY

 

 

Return on Equity was 15.9% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to -8.2% for the third quarter of 2019. This increase was due to higher net income (loss) attributable to Magna, partially offset by lower average shareholders' equity. Other expense, net, after tax negatively impacted Return on Equity by 7.1% in the third quarter of 2020, and 23.6% in the third quarter of 2019, respectively.

SEGMENT ANALYSIS

 

We are a global automotive supplier that has complete vehicle engineering and contract manufacturing expertise, as well as product capabilities which include body, chassis, exterior, seating, powertrain, active driver assistance, electronics, mechatronics, mirrors, lighting and roof systems. Magna also has electronic and software capabilities across many of these areas.

 

Our business is managed under operating segments which have been determined on the basis of technological opportunities, product similarities, as well as market and operating factors. Our internal financial reporting is aligned with the way our business is managed. Accordingly, we report key internal operating performance measures for Body Exteriors & Structures, Power & Vision, Seating Systems, and Complete Vehicles for presentation to our chief operating decision maker to use in the assessment of operating performance, allocation of resources, and to help plan 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 reportable segments. Adjusted EBIT has been reconciled in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation" section included in this MD&A.

 

   For the three months ended September 30, 
   Sales   Adjusted EBIT 
   2020   2019   Change   2020   2019   Change

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales   10.1%   7.7%      +2.4%

 

 

Sales – Body Exteriors & Structures

 

Sales for Body Exteriors & Structures decreased 3% or $126 million to $3.86 billion for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $3.98 billion for the third quarter of 2019, primarily as a result of:

 

the end of production of certain programs;

lower European light vehicle production; and

net customer price concession subsequent to the third quarter of 2019.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

the launch of programs during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2019, including the:

Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe;

Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair;

Mercedes-Benz GLA; and

BMW X6; and

the negative impact of the labour strike at GM during the third quarter of 2019; and

the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased sales by $15 million.

the benefit of COVID-19 related government employee support programs;

the negative impact of the labour strike at GM during the third quarter of 2019;

cost savings and efficiencies realized, including as a result of restructuring actions taken;

lower launch costs; and

productivity and efficiency improvements at an underperforming facility.

 

These factors were partially offset by net foreign exchange losses in the third quarter of 2020 compared to net foreign exchange gains in the third quarter of 2019.

 

In addition, net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of 2019 had an unfavourable impact on Adjusted EBIT.

BMW X6;

Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair;

BMW 2-Series Gran Coupe; and

BMW 1-Series; and

the negative impact of the labour strike at GM during the third quarter of 2019.

 

These factors were partially offset by lower light vehicle production outside of North America, the net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which decreased sales by $9 million, and net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of 2019.

Sales – Complete Vehicles

 

Sales for Complete Vehicles decreased 8% or $114 million to $1.40 billion for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $1.52 billion for the third quarter of 2019 and assembly volumes decreased 23%. The decrease in sales is primarily as a result of the impact of lower assembly volumes of the Jaguar E-Pace, partially offset by higher assembly volumes of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class during the third quarter of 2020. These factors were partially offset by a $64 million increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar and higher engineering sales.

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

 

Adjusted EBIT for Complete Vehicles increased $41 million to $70 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $29 million for the third quarter of 2019 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased 3.1% to 5.0% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 1.9% for the third quarter of 2019, primarily as a result of:

 

favourable program mix;

earnings on higher engineering sales; and

the benefit of a cost cutting initiative.

 

These factors were partially offset by reduced earnings due to lower assembly volumes during the third quarter of 2020, net of contractual fixed cost recoveries on certain programs.

 

CORPORATE AND OTHER

 

Adjusted EBIT in Corporate and Other was income of $25 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $nil in the third quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to:

 

cost savings and efficiencies realized, including reduced discretionary spending, travel costs and short-term and long-term incentive compensation;

lower corporate research & development spending; and

a $6 million favourable impact of net foreign exchange gains in the third quarter of 2020 compared to foreign exchange losses in the third quarter of 2019.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

 

 

 

   For the three months     
   ended September 30,     
   2020   2019   Change 
Net income (loss)  $327   $(364) 
Items not involving current cash flows  767    1,210     
    1,094    846   $248 
Changes in operating assets and liabilities   518    (96)   614 

Cash provided from operating activities

  $1,612   $750   $862 

 

Cash provided from operating activities

 

Cash provided from operating activities was positively impacted during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to a return to normal payment terms with our suppliers, the receipt in the first week of the third quarter of 2020 of certain customer payments that were delayed from the second quarter, and higher operating income.

 

During the third quarter of 2020, we generated cash from operations of $1.6 billion. The $862 million increase compared to the third quarter of 2019, is primarily as a result of:

 

·a $2.2 billion decrease in cash paid for material and overhead;

·a $225 million decrease in cash paid for labour; and

·a $12 million decrease in cash paid for taxes.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·a $1.6 billion decrease in cash received from customers; and

·lower dividends received from equity method investments of $9 million.

 

Changes in operating assets and liabilities

 

Cash generated from operating assets and liabilities amounted to $518 million in the third quarter of 2020. The net cash generated was primarily as a result of:

 

·a $1.5 billion increase in accounts payable related to higher production levels in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2020;

·a $126 million increase in accrued salaries and wages due to increased employment related to higher production levels and the timing of payments in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2020; and

·a $102 million increase in other accrued liabilities mainly due to higher production levels and an increase in net warranty accruals in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2020.

 

These factors were offset by a $1.3 billion increase in accounts receivable related to higher production levels, partially offset by the collection of certain delayed customer payments in the first week of the third quarter.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

 

 

 

   For the three months

Proceeds from dispositions   14    67      
Proceeds on sale of business       3      
Cash used for investing activities  $(279)  $(362)  $83 

 

We used cash for investing activities in the third quarter of 2020 and 2019. The change between the third quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019 was primarily due to a lower investment in fixed assets during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019.

 

Fixed assets, investments, other assets and intangible assets additions

 

In the third quarter of 2020, we invested $213 million in fixed assets. Where our customers' production programs are being downsized, deferred or cancelled, we have taken equivalent capital expenditure actions. We also reduced discretionary capital spending and certain productivity capital expenditures where the returns on the investment are no longer likely to be achieved within an appropriate timeframe. However, we remain focused on ensuring that capital actions being taken today do not adversely impact the implementation of our long-term strategy.

 

In addition, we invested: $54 million in other assets related primarily to reimbursable tooling, planning, and engineering costs for programs that launched during the third quarter of 2020 or will be launching subsequent to the third quarter of 2020; $11 million in intangible assets, primarily related to software; and $3 million in equity method investments.

 

Proceeds from dispositions

 

In the third quarter of 2020, we recorded $14 million of proceeds related to normal course fixed and other asset disposals.

Dividends paid   (115)   (109)   
Cash used for financing activities  $(348)  $(179)  $(169)

 

The decrease in short-term borrowings relates primarily to a $168 million decrease in euro-commercial paper ["the Euro Program"] during the third quarter of 2020.

 

Cash dividends paid per Common Share were $0.40 for the third quarter of 2020, for a total of $115 million compared to cash dividends paid per Common Share of $0.365 for the third quarter of 2019, for a total of $109 million.

FINANCING RESOURCES

 

   As at   As at     
   September 30,   December 31,     
   2020   2019   Change

Shareholders' equity   10,206    10,831    (625)
Total capitalization  $16,148   $16,125   $23 

 

Total capitalization increased by $23 million to $16.15 billion as at September 30, 2020 compared to $16.13 billion at December 31, 2019, primarily as a result of a $744 million increase in financial liabilities, partially offset by a $625 million decrease in shareholder's equity and a $96 million decrease in non-controlling interest.

 

The increase in financial liabilities during the first nine months of 2020 was primarily as a result of the issuance of $750 million of 2.45% fixed-rate Senior Notes which mature on June 15, 2030.

 

The decrease in non-controlling interest during the first nine months of 2020 was primarily as a result of the impairment of assets recorded in the third quarter of 2020 and dividends paid during the first nine months of 2020 partially offset by the loss attributable to non-controlling interests in the first nine months of 2020.

 

The decrease in shareholder's equity in the first nine months of 2020 was primarily as a result of:

 

·$352 million of dividends paid;
·$203 million related to the repurchase of 5.1 million Common Shares;
·$103 million of net unrealized loss on cash flow hedges;
·$73 million of net loss; and
·$44 million net unrealized loss on translation of our net investment in foreign operations whose functional currency is not U.S. dollars.

 

CASH RESOURCES

 

During the third quarter of 2020 our cash resources, including restricted cash equivalents, increased by $970 million to $1.6 billion, primarily as a result of cash provided from operating activities partially offset by cash used for investing and financing activities, as discussed above. In addition to our cash resources at September 30, 2020, we had term and operating lines of credit totaling $4.0 billion, of which $3.8 billion was unused and available.

Other factors negatively impacting sales include the end of production of certain programs, the net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which decreased sales by $59 million, and net customer price concessions subsequent to the first nine months of 2019. These factors were partially offset by the negative impact of the labour strike at GM during the third quarter of 2019 and the launch of programs during or subsequent to first nine months of 2019.

These decreases were substantially as a result of reduced earnings due to lower sales, net of the benefit of COVID-19 related government employee support programs, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Other factors that negatively impacted Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales include:

 

·lower tooling contribution in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019;
·net provisions for customer claims during the second quarter of 2020;
·lower scrap steel and aluminum recoveries partially offset by lower commodity costs; and
·operational underperformance at a facility.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·lower launch costs;
·cost savings and efficiencies realized, including as a result of restructuring actions taken;
·the negative impact of the labour strike at GM during the third quarter of 2019; and
·losses during the first nine months of 2019 at plants prior to their closing in 2019.

 

In addition, net customer price concessions subsequent to the first nine months of 2019 had an unfavourable impact on Adjusted EBIT.

Other factors that negatively impacted Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales include:

 

·the divestiture of FP&C during the first quarter of 2019;

·higher net warranty costs of $27 million;

·in our ADAS business, higher engineering costs, substantially associated with three programs that will be utilizing new technologies, including retroactive social tax costs, partially offset by a write-down of amounts in the first quarter of 2019 that were previously capitalized on our balance sheet;

·lower equity income of $20 million, primarily as a result of: reduced earnings due to lower sales at our equity-accounted operations; partially offset by a write-down of assets at a certain facility during the third quarter of 2019; and lower depreciation at certain facilities; and

·earnings during the first nine months of 2019 at a plant we closed subsequent to the first nine months of 2019.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·cost savings and efficiencies realized, including as a result of restructuring actions taken; and

·lower spending associated with our former collaboration with Lyft, partially offset by higher other electrification and autonomy spending;

·lower tariffs, primarily on steel and aluminum; and

·the negative impact of the labour strike at GM during the third quarter of 2019.

 

In addition, net customer price concessions subsequent to the first nine months of 2019 had an unfavourable impact on Adjusted EBIT.

Adjusted EBIT for Complete Vehicles increased $64 million to $164 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $100 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased to 4.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 1.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These increases were primarily as a result of:

 

·favourable program mix;

·a favourable engineering program resolution in the first quarter of 2020;

·the benefit of a cost cutting initiative; and

·earnings on higher engineering sales.

 

These factors were partially offset by reduced earnings due to lower assembly volumes during the first nine months of 2020, net of contractual fixed cost recoveries on certain programs.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

 

Adjusted EBIT in Corporate and Other was a loss of $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to income of $28 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The $43 million decrease was primarily as a result of:

 

·a decrease in fees received from our divisions;

·a $23 million unfavourable impact of higher net foreign exchange losses primarily as a result of foreign exchange losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to foreign exchange gains in the nine months ended September 30, 2019; and

·a loss on the sale of assets during the first nine months of 2020 compared to a gain on the sale of assets during the first nine months of 2019.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·cost savings and efficiencies realized, including lower short-term and long-term incentive compensation, reduced discretionary spending and travel costs; and

·lower corporate research & development spending.

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, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

 

           Adjusted EBIT 
       Adjusted   as a percentage 
   Sales   EBIT   of sales 
Nine months ended September 30, 2019  $30,036   $1,955    6.5%
(Decrease) Increase related to:               
Body Exteriors & Structures   (3,378)   (736)   -2.4%
Power & Vision   (2,044)   (448)   -1.4%
Seating Systems   (1,086)   (211)   -0.7%
Complete Vehicles   (1,590)   64    +0.8%
Corporate and Other   141    (43)   -0.2%
Nine months ended September 30, 2020  $22,079   $581    2.6%

 

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales decreased 3.9% to 2.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 6.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 substantially due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Excluding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, other factors negatively impacting Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales include:

 

·lower tooling contribution in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019;

·higher net warranty costs;

·net losses on the sale of assets in the first nine months of 2020 compared to net gains in the first nine months of 2019;

·in our ADAS business, higher engineering costs, substantially associated with three programs that will be utilizing new technologies, including retroactive social tax costs, partially offset by a write-down of amounts in the first quarter of 2019 that were previously capitalized on our balance sheet;

·lower net foreign exchange gains;

·lower equity income;

·net provisions for customer claims during the first nine months of 2020; and

·divestitures, net of acquisitions, during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·cost savings and efficiencies realized, including as a result of restructuring actions taken;

·lower launch costs;

·lower spending associated with our former collaboration with Lyft and lower corporate research & development spending, partially offset by higher other electrification and autonomy spending;

·favourable program mix in our Complete Vehicles segment;

·the negative impact of the labour strike at GM during the third quarter of 2019; and

·a favourable engineering program resolution in the first quarter of 2020 in our Complete Vehicle segment.

RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL

 

 

 

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital decreased to 3.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 12.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as a result of a decrease in Adjusted After-tax operating profits partially offset by lower Average Invested Capital. Other expense, net, after tax negatively impacted Return on Invested Capital by 3.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

 

Average Invested Capital decreased $1.0 billion to $15.91 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $16.91 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to:

 

·the impairment of assets recorded in the third quarters of 2020 and 2019;
·the sale of our investment in Lyft equity in the third and fourth quarters of 2019;
·a decrease in average non-cash working capital;
·the sale of our FP&C business during the first quarter of 2019; and
·the net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.

 

These factors were partially offset by the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets during the first quarter of 2019 in accordance with the adoption of the accounting standard Accounting Standards Codification 842 – Leases.

 

RETURN ON EQUITY

 

 

Return on Equity was 0.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 15.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease was due to lower net income (loss) attributable to Magna, partially offset by lower average shareholders' equity. Other expense, net, after tax negatively impacted Return on Equity by 4.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 1.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

 

Subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange ["TSX"] and the New York Stock Exchange ["NYSE"], our Board of Directors approved a new normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 29.6 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 15, 2020 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 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.

 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Refer to Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies included in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included in this Quarterly Report for additional information related to our significant accounting policies.

 

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 24 of our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which describes these claims.

 

For a discussion of risk factors relating to legal and other claims/actions against us, refer to "Item 5. Risk Factors" in our Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 40-F, each in respect of the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

28    Magna International Inc. Third Quarter Report 2020

 

 

INDUSTRY TRENDS AND 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.

 

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 and infrastructure; availability and relative cost of skilled labour; regulatory considerations, including those related to environmental emissions and safety standards; 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: 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.

 

While the foregoing economic, political and other factors are part of the general context in which the global automotive industry operates, there have been 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 and autonomy, as well as "mobility-as-a-service" ["MaaS"]. 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, 2019, together with subsequent filings, including our First Quarter Report 2020. Those industry trends and risk factors remain substantially unchanged in respect of the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, except to the extent:

 

·political uncertainty related to the 2020 U.S. presidential election negatively impacts consumer confidence; and

·discussed under "Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business" elsewhere in this MD&A.

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, 2019 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2019 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 at September 30, 2020 and the results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

[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 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  As of September 30, 2020, the duration and impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 is still unknown.  As a result, some of the Company's estimates and assumptions required increased judgment. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

[c]Government grants

 

Government grants are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and the Company will comply with all required conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in income over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate, and are presented as a reduction of the related expense.

 

[d]Restructuring

 

Restructuring costs may include employee termination benefits, as well as other incremental costs resulting from restructuring actions. These actions may result in employees receiving voluntary or involuntary employee termination benefits, which are mainly pursuant to union or other contractual agreements or statutory requirements. Voluntary termination benefits are accrued when an employee accepts the related offer. Involuntary termination benefits are accrued upon the commitment to a termination plan and when the benefit arrangement is communicated to affected employees, or when liabilities are determined to be probable and estimable, depending on the existence of a substantive plan for termination. Additional elements of severance and termination benefits associated with non-recurring benefits may be recognized rateably over each employee's required future service period.  All other restructuring costs are expensed as incurred.

[a]Impairments of investments

 

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company concluded that indicators of potential impairment were present related to its equity-accounted investment in Getrag (Jiangxi) Transmission Co., Ltd. ["GJT"], which makes both manual transmissions and dual-clutch transmissions ["DCTs"]. The conclusion was based on lower than expected sales, increased pricing pressure in the China market, and declines in volume projections for the foreseeable future for manual transmissions and DCTs in China. Accordingly, the Company deemed there to be an other-than-temporary decline, and undertook an impairment analysis to determine the fair value of the investments utilizing discounted cash flows to derive fair values. Based on the analysis, the carrying value of the Company’s investment exceeded fair value by $337 million. Including the $62 million impact of income taxes and the $75 million attributable to non-controlling interest, the non-cash impairment charge included in net income (loss) attributable to the Company was $200 million.

 

The inputs utilized in the analysis are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement" and primarily consist of expected revenues and costs, estimated production volumes, future growth rates and the appropriate discount rates (based on weighted average cost of capital).

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company recorded impairments for its investments in GJT, and Dongfeng Getrag Transmission Co. Ltd. ["DGT"] in China, and its equity-accounted investment Getrag Ford Transmission GmbH ["GFT"] in Europe.  Utilizing discounted cash flows to derive the fair value of the investments, the Company concluded that the carrying value exceeded the fair value by $511 million for GJT, $150 million for GFT, and $39 million for DGT. Including the $36 million impact of income taxes and the $127 million attributable to non-controlling interest, the non-cash impairment charge included in net (loss) income attributable to the Company was $537 million.  These investments are included in the Power and Vision segment.

 

[b]Restructuring and impairments

 

In response to the impact that COVID-19 was expected to have on vehicle production volumes over the short to medium term, in the second quarter of 2020 the Company initiated and/or accelerated the timing of restructuring plans to right-size its business. These restructuring actions include plant closures and workforce reductions.

 

The following table summarizes the restructuring and fixed asset impairment charges recorded by segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

 

               Net of 
   Restructuring   Impairment   Total   Tax 
Power & Vision  $104   $11   $115   $90 
Body  Exteriors  &  Structures   29    8    37    32 
Seating Systems   16        16    14 
   $149   $19   $168   $136 

 

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $27 million [$20 million after tax] in an Electronics operations which is included in the Company's Power & Vision segment.

 

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $7 million and $28 million [$7 million and $28 million after tax], respectively, for its Body Exteriors & Structures operations.

[d]Gain on the sale of Business

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of its Fluid Pressure & Controls business of $2 million and $524 million [$2 million after tax affect and $447 million after tax], respectively, in the Power & Vision segment.

The dilutive effect of participating securities using the two-class method was excluded from the calculation of earnings per share because the effect would be immaterial.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, diluted earnings per Common Share excluded 9.1 million Common Shares issuable under the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan because the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive.

Credit Facilities

 

The Company has an agreement for a credit facility that is drawn in euros that is secured with a USD cash deposit of 105% of the outstanding balance. As at September 30, 2020, the amount drawn was $114 million and the related restricted cash equivalent deposit was $120 million. Given that the credit agreement includes a netting arrangement that provides for the legal right of setoff, the remaining net deposit of $6 million is included in the prepaid expenses and other balance [note 4]. As at December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance under the credit facility was $110 million, and the net deposit included in the prepaid expenses and other balance was $6 million.

 

On April 13, 2020, the Company amended its 364-day syndicated revolving credit facility, which included an increase to the size of the facility from U.S. $300 million to U.S. $1.0 billion and an extension of the maturity date from June 22, 2020 to April 12, 2021. The facility can be drawn in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not borrowed any funds under this credit facility.

10.INCOME TAXES

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company's effective income tax rate does not reflect the statutory tax rate mainly as a result of the non-deductible impairment charge related to GJT, losses in Europe that could not be recognized, and the tax on foreign exchange gains reported on U.S. dollar denominated assets for Mexican tax purposes that are not recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes. These factors were partially offset by a reduction in reserves for uncertain tax positions, favourable foreign income tax rates and research and development credits.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company's effective tax rate was impacted by the non-deductible impairment charge recorded in the Company's Power & Vision segment.

 

11.Long-term debt

 

On June 8, 2020, the Company issued $750 million of 2.45% fixed-rate Senior Notes which mature on June 15, 2030. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations, interest is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, and do not include any financial covenants. The Company may redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time, at specified redemption prices determined in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes. All of the Senior Notes were issued for general corporate purposes.

14.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, restricted cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.

 

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.

 

Private equity securities

 

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.]

 

Term debt

 

The Company's term debt includes $98 million due within one year. Due to the short period to maturity of this debt, the carrying value as presented in the consolidated balance sheets is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.

 

Senior Notes

 

The fair value of our Senior Notes are classified as Level 1 when we use quoted prices in active markets and Level 2 when the quoted prices are from less active markets or when other observable inputs are used to determine fair value. At September 30, 2020, the net book value of the Company's Senior Notes was $3.80 billion and the estimated fair value was $4.12 billion.

 

[d]Credit risk

 

The Company's financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents [net of the euro drawn amount], accounts receivable, and foreign exchange forward contracts with positive fair values.

 

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents which consists of short-term investments, are only invested in bank term deposits and bank commercial paper with primarily 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.

14.Financial instruments (CONTINUED)

 

[d]Credit risk (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 month periods ended September 30, 2020, sales to the Company's six largest customers represented 80% and 79% of the Company's sales, respectively, and substantially all of the Company's sales are to customers with which it has ongoing contractual relationships. The Company continues to closely monitor its customers during the current economic crises.  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 interest rate risk on its term debt, and Senior Notes as the interest rates on these instruments 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 for which the selling price has been quoted in currencies other than the facilities' functional currency, and 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 employs hedging programs, primarily through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts.

 

At September 30, 2020, 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   Czech   Weighted
   U.S. dollar   average   Peso   average   U.S. dollar   average   Koruna   average
   amount   rate   amount   rate   amount   rate   Amount   rate
Buy   141    0.74492    7,381    0.04576    248    0.83512    6,918    0.03781
(Sell)   (1,353)   1.31838            (144)   1.15468        

 

Forward contracts mature at various dates through 2024. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed quarterly.

15.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.

 

[a]In September 2020, the European Commission (the "Commission") announced that it had reached a settlement with Magna and its competitors in connection with two separate bilateral cartels concerning supplies of closure systems, where the parties coordinated pricing and exchanged commercially sensitive information in certain instances between 2009 and 2012. As the leniency applicant that revealed the existence of the cartels to the Commission, Magna received full immunity and was not fined.

 

In September 2014, the Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Economica ["CADE"], Brazil's Federal competition authority, attended at one of the Company's operating divisions in Brazil to obtain information in connection with an ongoing antitrust investigation relating to suppliers of automotive door latches and related products ["access mechanisms"].

 

In May 2019, CADE informed the Company that it completed its preliminary investigation and, based on a review of the evidence, has commenced a formal administrative proceeding into alleged anticompetitive behaviour relating to access mechanisms involving the Company.

 

Administrative proceedings of this nature can often continue for several years. At this time, management is unable to predict the duration or outcome of the Brazilian administrative proceeding, including whether any operating divisions of the Company will be found liable for any violation of law or the extent or magnitude of any liability, if any.

 

In the event that wrongful conduct is found, CADE may impose administrative penalties or fines taking into account several mitigating and aggravating factors. Administrative fines are tied to the sales in Brazil of the applicable Magna companies in the fiscal year prior to the commencement of the formal administrative proceeding.

 

The Company's policy is to comply with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. The Company has completed its previously announced global review focused on antitrust risk. While Magna does not currently anticipate any material liabilities in connection with the review, we could be subject to restitution settlements, civil proceedings, reputational damage and other consequences, including as a result of the matters specifically referred to above.

 

[b]The Company is at risk for product warranty costs, which include product liability and recall costs, and is currently experiencing increased customer pressure to assume greater warranty responsibility. For most types of products, the Company only accounts for existing or probable product warranty claims. However, for certain complete vehicle assembly, powertrain systems and electronics contracts, the Company records an estimate of future warranty-related costs based on the terms of the specific customer agreements and/or the Company's warranty experience. Product liability and recall provisions are established based on the Company's best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle existing claims, which typically take into account: the number of units that may be returned; the cost of the product being replaced; labour to remove and replace the defective part; and the customer's administrative costs relating to the recall. Where applicable, such provisions are booked net of recoveries from sub-suppliers and along with related insurance recoveries. Due to the uncertain nature of the net costs, actual product liability costs could be materially different from the Company's best estimates of future costs [note 9].

16.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, and 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 (loss) from operations and adding back income taxes, interest expense, net, and other expense, net.

Subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange ["TSX"] and the New York Stock Exchange ["NYSE"], the Company's Board of Directors approved a new normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 29.6 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 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 15, 2020 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 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.
