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 months ended March 31, 2017 included in this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in our 2016 Annual Report to Shareholders.

 

This MD&A contains 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 May 10, 2017.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This MD&A includes the use of Gross margin, Gross margin as a percentage of sales, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales, Return on Invested Capital and Return on Equity (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Measures”), calculated as follows:

 

·                  Gross margin is calculated by subtracting Cost of goods sold from Sales.

·                  Gross margin as a percentage of sales is calculated as Gross margin divided by Sales.

·                  Adjusted EBIT is calculated by taking net income and adding back income taxes, interest expense, net, and other expense, net, as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

·                  Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales is calculated as Adjusted EBIT divided by Sales.

·                  Return on Invested Capital is calculated as After-tax operating profits divided by Average Invested Capital for the period.

·                  After-tax operating profits is calculated as Income from operations before income taxes and Interest expense, net less income taxes calculated by applying Magna’s effective income tax rate for the period.

·                  Invested Capital is calculated as the difference between (a) Total Assets excluding Cash and cash equivalents and Deferred tax assets and (b) Current Liabilities excluding Short-term borrowings and Long-term debt due within one year.

·                  Return on Equity is calculated as Net income attributable to Magna divided by Average Shareholders’ Equity for the period.

 

The 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 Gross margin, Gross margin as a percentage of sales, Return on Invested Capital and Return on Equity facilitate a comparison of our performance with prior periods, and provide investors with a more relevant basis for comparing our results from period to period. Similarly, we believe that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales provides useful information to our investors as an appropriate measure of our operational performance as it excludes certain items that are not reflective of ongoing operating profit or loss. The presentation of the Non-GAAP Measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s related financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

·                  For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we posted first quarter record sales, as well as all-time records in both income from operations before income taxes and diluted earnings per share.

·                  Total sales increased 5% to $9.37 billion in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $8.90 billion in the first quarter of 2016, and compared to 2% growth in global light vehicle production.

·                  Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 both increased in each of our reporting segments, as compared to the first quarter of 2016.

·                  Diluted earnings per share increased 25% to $1.53, compared to $1.22 for the first quarter of 2016.

·                  We generated cash from operating activities of $443 million, a 46% increase from the first quarter of 2016.

·                  We returned $205 million to shareholders, through a combination of dividends and share repurchases.

INDUSTRY TRENDS AND RISKS

 

Our operating results are primarily dependent upon the levels of North American and European car and light truck production by our customers and the relative amount of content we have on various programs. Original equipment manufacturers’ (“OEMs”) production volumes in different regions may be impacted by factors which may vary from one region to the next, including but not limited to: general economic and political conditions; consumer confidence levels; interest rates; credit availability; energy and fuel prices; relative currency values; commodities prices; international conflicts; labour relations issues; regulatory requirements; trade agreements; infrastructure; legislative changes; and environmental emissions and safety standards. These factors together with other factors affecting our performance such as: operational inefficiencies; costs incurred to launch new or takeover business; price reduction pressures from our customers; warranty and recall costs; commodities and scrap prices; restructuring, downsizing and other significant non-recurring costs; and the financial condition of our supply base, are discussed in our Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 40-F, each in respect of the year ended December 31, 2016, and remain substantially unchanged in respect of the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

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 months ended March 31, 2017 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 in the table above 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.

Sales

 

Sales increased 5% or $472 million to $9.37 billion for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $8.90 billion for the first quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of:

 

·                  higher North America, Europe, Asia and Rest of World External Production sales, as discussed in the “Segment Analysis” section below; and

·                  higher Tooling, Engineering and Other sales.

 

These factors were partially offset by lower Complete Vehicle Assembly sales as discussed in the “Segment Analysis” section below.

 

Tooling, Engineering and Other Sales

 

Tooling, engineering and other sales increased 6% or $39 million to $726 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $687 million for the first quarter of 2016.

 

In the first quarter of 2017, the major programs for which we recorded tooling, engineering and other sales were the:

 

·                  Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain;

·                  BMW 5-Series;

·                  Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra;

·                  BMW X3;

·                  Chrysler Pacifica;

·                  Skoda Octavia;

·                  Hyundai Solaris; and

·                  certain Jaguar Land Rover programs.

 

Magna International Inc. First Quarter Report 2017    3

 



 

In the first quarter of 2016, the major programs for which we recorded tooling, engineering and other sales were the:

 

·                  Chevrolet Cruze;

·                  Chrysler Pacifica;

·                  Ford Figo Aspire;

·                  GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse;

·                  Ford Escape;

·                  BMW X5;

·                  Chevrolet Equinox, Captiva and GMC Terrain;

·                  BMW 5-Series;

·                  Volkswagen Tiguan; and

·                  Opel Astra.

 

Acquisitions during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2016 increased our reported tooling, engineering and other sales by $13 million, while the weakening of the euro, British pound, Czech krona partially offset by the strengthening of the Russian ruble and Canadian dollar, each against the U.S. dollar had a net unfavourable impact of $10 million on our reported tooling, engineering and other sales.

Cost of goods sold increased $302 million to $7.92 billion for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $7.62 billion for the first quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of:

 

·                  higher material, overhead and labour costs associated with the increase in sales;

·                  acquisitions subsequent to the first quarter of 2016; and

·                  higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  a net decrease in reported U.S. dollar cost of goods sold primarily due to the weakening of the euro, Chinese renminbi, British pound and Turkish lira against the U.S. dollar partially offset by the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, Russian ruble and Brazilian real each against the U.S. dollar;

·                  net productivity and efficiency improvements at our manufacturing facilities;

·                  higher recoveries associated with scrap steel;

·                  favourable commercial settlements; and

·                  lower warranty costs of $8 million.

 

4    Magna International Inc. First Quarter Report 2017

 



 

 

Gross margin increased $170 million to $1.45 billion for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $1.28 billion for the first quarter of 2016 and gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to 15.5% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 14.4% for the first quarter of 2016. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales was primarily due to:

 

·                  net productivity and efficiency improvements at our manufacturing facilities;

·                  higher recoveries associated with scrap steel;

·                  favourable commercial settlements;

·                  lower warranty costs; and

·                  a decrease in the proportion of complete vehicle assembly sales relative to total sales, which have a higher material content than our consolidated average.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities; and

·                  a higher amount of employee profit sharing.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization costs increased $28 million to $274 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $246 million for the first quarter of 2016. The higher depreciation and amortization was primarily as a result of increased capital deployed at existing facilities.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)

 

SG&A expense as a percentage of sales was 4.4% for the first quarter of 2017, unchanged from the first quarter of 2016. SG&A expense increased $24 million to $416 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $392 million for the first quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of:

 

·                  a favourable intellectual property infringement settlement during the first quarter of 2016 in relation to our electronics business;

·                  higher labour and benefit costs; and

·                  higher incentive and executive compensation.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  lower foreign exchange losses; and

·                  lower costs to support our global compliance programs.

 

Magna International Inc. First Quarter Report 2017    5

 



 

Interest Expense, net

 

During the first quarter of 2017, we recorded net interest expense of $19 million compared to $23 million for the first quarter of 2016. The $4 million decrease is primarily as a result of lower interest expense due to lower average bank indebtedness balances during the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016.

 

Equity Income

 

Equity income increased $15 million to $70 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $55 million for the first quarter of 2016.

 

Other Expense, net

 

During the first quarter of 2017, we recorded net restructuring charges of $6 million ($6 million after tax) in Germany at our powertrain systems operations.

 

For three months ended March 31, 2016, there were no amounts included in Other Expense, net.

 

Income from Operations before Income Taxes

 

Income from operations before income taxes increased $131 million to $806 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $675 million for the first quarter of 2016. The increase in income from operations before income taxes is the result of:

 

·                  margins earned on higher production sales;

·                  net productivity and efficiency improvements at our manufacturing facilities;

·                  higher recoveries associated with scrap steel;

·                  a $15 million increase in equity income, as discussed above;

·                  favourable commercial settlements;

·                  lower foreign exchange losses;

·                  lower warranty costs of $8 million;

·                  lower costs to support our global compliance programs; and

·                  the $4 million decrease in interest expense, net, as discussed above.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  lower margins on our complete vehicle assembly sales largely due to the launch phase of the BMW 5-Series;

·                  a $28 million increase in depreciation and amortization, as discussed above;

·                  a favourable intellectual property infringement settlement during the first quarter of 2016 in relation to our electronics business;

·                  increased pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;

·                  the weakening of the euro, Chinese renminbi and Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar partially offset by the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar;

·                  higher other expense, net of $6 million, as discussed above;

·                  a higher amount of employee profit sharing; and

·                  higher incentive and executive compensation.

Income Taxes

 

The effective income tax rate on income from operations before income taxes increased to 25.9% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 25.5% for the first quarter of 2016.  In the first quarter of 2017, the income tax rate was impacted by the item discussed in the “Other Expense, net” section.  Excluding Other Expense, net, after tax, the effective income tax rate increased to 25.7% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 25.5% for the first quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of:

 

·                  a favorable audit settlement recorded in 2016;

·                  a change in the mix of earnings resulting in proportionately more income earned in jurisdictions with higher income tax rates; and

·                  a decrease in research and development credits in North America.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  a decrease in non-deductible foreign exchange losses related to the re-measurement of financial statement balances of foreign subsidiaries that are maintained in a currency other than their functional currency; and

·                  a reduction in losses not benefitted in South America and Europe.

 

Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

 

Income attributable to non-controlling interests was $11 million for the first quarter of 2017, unchanged compared to the first quarter of 2016.

 

Net Income Attributable to Magna International Inc.

 

Net income attributable to Magna International Inc. of $586 million for the first quarter of 2017 increased $94 million compared to $492 million in the first quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of the increase in income from operations before income taxes partially offset by higher income taxes, each as discussed above.

Diluted earnings per share increased $0.31 to $1.53 compared to $1.22 for the first quarter of 2016. Other Expense, net, after tax, negatively impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.02 in the first quarter of 2017 as discussed in the “Other Expense, net” section. Excluding this impact, diluted earnings per share increased $0.33, as a result of the increase in net income attributable to Magna International Inc. and a decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the first quarter of 2017.

 

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 first quarter of 2016, pursuant to our normal course issuer bids.

SEGMENT ANALYSIS

 

Given the differences between the regions in which we operate, our operations are segmented on a geographic basis. Consistent with the above, our internal financial reporting separately segments key internal operating performance measures between North America, Europe, Asia and Rest of World for purposes of presentation to the chief operating decision maker to assist in the assessment of operating performance, the allocation of resources, and 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 reporting segments.

External Production Sales — North America

 

 

External production sales in North America increased 7% or $330 million to $5.09 billion for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $4.76 billion for the first quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of:

 

·                  the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2016, including the:

·                  GMC Acadia;

·                  Lincoln Continental;

·                  Cadillac XT5;

·                  Chrysler Pacifica; and

·                  Chevrolet Bolt; and

·                  a $48 million increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  lower production volumes on certain existing programs; and

·                  net customer price concessions subsequent to the first quarter of 2016.

 

Magna International Inc. First Quarter Report 2017    9

 



 

Adjusted EBIT — North America

 

 

Adjusted EBIT in North America increased $68 million to $557 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $489 million for the first quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of:

 

·                  margins earned on higher production sales;

·                  higher recoveries associated with scrap steel;

·                  productivity and efficiency improvements at our manufacturing facilities;

·                  lower foreign exchange losses;

·                  lower warranty costs of $6 million;

·                  favourable commercial settlements; and

·                  an increase in reported U.S. dollar Adjusted EBIT due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar partially offset by the weakening of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  a favourable intellectual property infringement settlement during the first quarter of 2016 in relation to our electronics business;

·                  higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;

·                  a higher amount of employee profit sharing;

·                  higher affiliation fees paid to Corporate; and

·                  net customer price concessions subsequent to the first quarter of 2016.

 

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales in North America increased 0.7% to 10.3% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 9.6% for the first quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of:

 

·                  higher production sales at a margin generally higher than our North American average;

·                  higher recoveries associated with scrap steel;

·                  productivity and efficiency improvements at our manufacturing facilities;

·                  lower foreign exchange losses;

·                  lower warranty costs; and

·                  favourable commercial settlements.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  a favourable intellectual property infringement settlement during the first quarter of 2016 in relation to our electronics business; and

·                  higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities.

External Production Sales — Europe

 

 

External production sales in Europe increased 8% or $190 million to $2.46 billion for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $2.27 billion for the first quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of:

 

·                  the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2016, including the:

·                  Audi A3 and A3 Sportback;

·                  Audi Q2;

·                  Volkswagen Tiguan;

·                  Mercedes C-Class Convertible;

·                  Maserati Levante; and

·                  BMW 5-Series;

·                  acquisitions during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2016, which positively impacted production sales by $32 million; and

·                  higher production volumes on certain existing programs.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  a $97 million decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, including the euro; British pound, and Turkish lira partially offset by the strengthening of the Russian ruble against the U.S. dollar;

·                  lower production sales on the MINI Countryman and Paceman as a result of substantially lower production content on the next generation of these programs; and

·                  net customer price concessions subsequent to the first quarter of 2016.

 

Magna International Inc. First Quarter Report 2017    11

 



 

Complete Vehicle Assembly Sales - Europe

 

 

Complete vehicle assembly sales decreased 31% or $183 million to $413 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $596 million for the first quarter of 2016 and assembly volumes decreased 65% or 15.0 thousand units.

 

The decrease in complete vehicle assembly sales is primarily as a result of the end of production of the MINI Countryman and Paceman during the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  an increase in assembly volumes for the BMW 5-Series which started production during the first quarter of 2017; and

·                  an increase in assembly volumes for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class which has a higher average selling price per vehicle compared to the MINI programs.

 

Adjusted EBIT — Europe

 

 

Adjusted EBIT in Europe increased $26 million to $187 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $161 million for the first quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of:

 

·                  margins earned on higher production sales;

·                  productivity and efficiency improvements at our manufacturing facilities;

·                  favourable commercial settlements;

·                  higher equity income; and

·                  acquisitions during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2016.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  reduced margins earned on lower complete vehicle assembly sales;

·                  a decrease in reported U.S. dollar Adjusted EBIT due to the weakening of the euro, Turkish lira and British pound, each against the U.S. dollar;

·                  higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;

·                  higher affiliation fees paid to Corporate;

·                  higher warranty costs of $3 million; and

·                  net customer price concessions subsequent to the first quarter of 2016.

 

12    Magna International Inc. First Quarter Report 2017

 



 

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales in Europe increased 0.6% to 5.6% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 5.0% for the first quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of:

 

·                  higher production sales at a margin generally higher than our European average;

·                  productivity and efficiency improvements at our manufacturing facilities; and

·                  favourable commercial settlements.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  lower margins on our complete vehicle assembly sales largely due to the launch phase of the BMW 5-Series; and

·                  higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities.

External Production Sales — Asia

 

 

External production sales in Asia increased 10% or $50 million to $557 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $507 million for the first quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2016, primarily in China.

 

This factor was partially offset by:

 

·                  a $23 million decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, including the Chinese renminbi; and

·                  net customer price concessions subsequent to the first quarter of 2016.

Adjusted EBIT — Asia

 

 

Adjusted EBIT in Asia increased $25 million to $76 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $51 million for the first quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of:

 

·                  margins earned on higher production sales;

·                  higher equity income; and

·                  lower warranty costs of $5 million.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  a decrease in reported U.S. dollar Adjusted EBIT due to the weakening of the Chinese renminbi against the U.S. dollar; and

·                  higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities.

 

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales in Asia increased 3.7% to 11.9% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 8.2% for the first quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of higher production sales at a margin generally higher than our Asian average, higher equity income and lower warranty costs.

External Production Sales — Rest of World

 

External production sales in Rest of World increased 58% or $46 million to $126 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $80 million for the first quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of:

 

·                  a $20 million increase in reported U.S. dollar sales primarily as a result of the strengthening of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar;

·                  higher production volumes on certain existing programs; and

·                  net customer price increases subsequent to the first quarter of 2016.

 

Adjusted EBIT — Rest of World

 

Adjusted EBIT in Rest of World increased $11 million to $nil for the first quarter of 2017 compared to a loss of $11 million for the first quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of:

 

·                  net customer price increases subsequent to the first quarter of 2016; and

·                  margins earned on higher production sales.

 

14    Magna International Inc. First Quarter Report 2017

 



 

Corporate and Other

 

Adjusted EBIT in Corporate and Other increased $3 million to $11 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $8 million for the first quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of:

 

·                  lower costs to support our global compliance programs; and

·                  an increase in affiliation fees earned from our divisions.

 

These factors were partially offset by higher stock compensation.

Cash provided from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities increased $103 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of:

 

·                  an increase in cash received from customers of $473 million as a result of higher total sales as discussed above;

·                  higher dividends received from equity investments of $18 million; and

·                  lower net interest expense of $5 million as discussed in the Interest Expense, net section above.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  higher cash paid for material, labour and overhead of $216 million, $72 million and $28 million, respectively, each primarily associated with the increase in sales and other factors discussed in the Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin section above;

·                  an increase in current income taxes of $61 million; and

·                  higher SG&A expense of $16 million as discussed in the Selling, General and Administrative section above.

 

Changes in operating assets and liabilities increased $37 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to the increase in other accrued liabilities partially offset by the increase in inventories and accounts receivable, each as a result of increased sales.

Fixed assets, investments, other assets and intangible assets additions

 

In 2017, we invested $309 million in fixed assets. While investments were made to refurbish or replace assets consumed in the normal course of business and for productivity improvements, a large portion of the investment in the first quarter of 2017 was for manufacturing equipment for programs that will be launching subsequent to the first quarter of 2017.

 

We invested $80 million in other assets related primarily to fully reimbursable tooling, planning, and engineering costs for programs that launched during the first quarter of 2017 or will be launching subsequent to the first quarter of 2017 and we invested $3 million in equity-accounted investments.

 

Purchase of subsidiaries

 

In January 2016, we acquired 100% of the common shares and voting interests of the GETRAG Group of Companies [“GETRAG”], a global supplier of automotive transmission systems, including manual, automated-manual, dual clutch, hybrid, and other advanced systems. In the first quarter of 2016, cash consideration was $1.66 billion [net of $136 million and $120 million of cash and restricted cash acquired, respectively].

 

Proceeds from disposition

 

In the first quarter of 2017, the $142 million of proceeds includes $61 million relating to the cash received on maturity of our investment in Canadian third party asset-backed commercial paper [“ABCP”], $52 million related to the sale of certain leasehold improvements to a lessor in connection with the extension and renewal of certain leases, and $29 million of normal course fixed and other asset disposals.

Repurchases of Common Shares during the first quarter of 2017 includes 2.3 million Common Shares repurchased for aggregate cash consideration of $100 million.

 

Cash dividends paid per Common Share were $0.275 for the first quarter of 2017, for a total of $105 million, compared to cash dividends paid per Common Share of $0.25 for the first quarter of 2016.

Total capitalization increased by $468 million to $13.84 billion as at March 31, 2017 compared to $13.38 billion at December 31, 2016, primarily as a result of a $575 million increase in shareholders’ equity and a $15 million increase in non-controlling interest partially offset by a $122 million decrease in liabilities.

 

Magna International Inc. First Quarter Report 2017    17

 



 

The decrease in liabilities relates primarily to a $295 million decrease in the U.S. Program partially offset by a $161 million increase in the euro-Program during the first quarter of 2017. These programs allow us to minimize the amount of cash on hand to run our business by providing funding on a more flexible and cost effective basis compared to drawing on our revolving credit facility.

 

The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily as a result of:

 

·                  the $597 million of net income earned in the first quarter of 2017;

·                  the $105 million net unrealized gain on translation of our net investment in foreign operations whose functional currency is not U.S. dollars; and

·                  the $32 million net unrealized gain on cash flow hedges.

 

These factors were partially offset by the $100 million repurchase and cancellation of 2.3 million Common Shares during the first quarter of 2017 and $105 million of dividends paid during 2017.

 

The increase in non-controlling interest was primarily as a result of the increase in income attributable to non-controlling interest in the first quarter of 2017.

 

Cash Resources

 

During the first quarter of 2017, our cash resources including restricted cash equivalents decreased by $140 million to $1.03 billion as a result of the cash used for financing and investing activities, partially offset by cash provided from operating activities, as discussed above. In addition to our cash resources at March 31, 2017, we had term and operating lines of credit totalling $2.91 billion of which $2.23 billion was unused and available.

 

The Company maintains a revolving credit facility of $2.75 billion with a maturity date of June 22, 2022. The facility includes a $200 million Asian tranche, a $100 million Mexican tranche and a tranche for Canada, U.S. and Europe, which is fully transferable between jurisdictions and can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or euros.

NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES

 

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales

 

 

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased 1.1% to 8.9% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 7.8% for the first quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of:

 

·                  higher production sales at margins generally higher than the comparable quarter in each of our reporting segments as discussed in the “Segment Analysis” section above;

·                  productivity and efficiency improvements at our manufacturing facilities;

·                  higher recoveries associated with scrap steel;

·                  favourable commercial settlements;

·                  an increase in equity income relative to sales;

·                  lower foreign exchange losses; and

·                  lower warranty costs.

 

These factors were partially offset by:

 

·                  lower margins on our complete vehicle assembly sales largely due to the launch phase of the BMW 5-Series;

·                  higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;

·                  an increase in depreciation expense relative to sales; and

·                  a favourable intellectual property infringement settlement during the first quarter of 2016 in relation to our electronics business.

After-tax operating profits increased primarily as a result of higher Income from operations before income taxes, as discussed above.

 

Average Invested Capital increased $815 million to $13.69 billion for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $12.88 billion for the first quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of our investment in fixed assets to refurbish or replace assets consumed in the normal course of business and for manufacturing equipment for programs that will be launching subsequent to the first quarter of 2017.

We use words such as “may”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “likely”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan”, “forecast”, “outlook”, “project”, “estimate” and similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events to identify forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. Any such forward-looking statements or forward-looking information 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. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks, assumptions and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and the effects of which can be difficult to predict, including, without limitation: the potential for a deterioration of economic conditions or an extended period of economic uncertainty; a decline in consumer confidence, which would typically result in lower production volume levels; the growth of protectionism and the implementation of measures that impede the free movement of goods, services, people and capital; planning risks created by rapidly changing economic or political conditions; fluctuations in relative currency values; legal claims and/or regulatory actions against us, including without limitation any proceedings that may arise out of our global review focused on anti-trust risk; our ability to successfully launch material new or takeover business; underperformance of one or more of our operating divisions; ongoing pricing pressures, including our ability to offset price concessions demanded by our customers; warranty and recall costs; our ability to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions or achieve anticipated synergies; our ability to conduct appropriate due diligence on acquisition targets; an increase in our risk profile as a result of completed acquisitions; shifts in market share away from our top customers; shifts in market shares among vehicles or vehicle segments, or shifts away from vehicles on which we have significant content; inability to sustain or grow our business; risks of conducting business in foreign markets, including China, India, Eastern Europe, Brazil and other non-traditional markets for us; our ability to successfully compete with other automotive suppliers, including disruptive technology innovators which are entering or expanding in the automotive industry; our ability to consistently develop innovative products or processes; our changing risk profile due to the increasing importance to us of product areas such as powertrain and electronics; restructuring, downsizing and/or other significant non-recurring costs; a reduction in outsourcing by our customers or the loss of a material production or assembly program; a prolonged disruption in the supply of components to us from our suppliers; shutdown of our or our customers’ or sub-suppliers’ production facilities due to a labour disruption; scheduled shutdowns of our customers’ production facilities (typically in the third and fourth quarters of each calendar year); the termination or non-renewal by our customers of any material production purchase order; exposure to, and ability to offset, commodities price increases; restructuring actions by OEMs, including plant closures; work stoppages and labour relations disputes; risk of production disruptions due to natural disasters or catastrophic event; the security and reliability of our information technology systems; pension liabilities; changes in our mix of earnings between jurisdictions with lower tax rates and those with higher tax rates, as well as our ability to fully benefit tax losses; impairment charges related to goodwill, long-lived assets and deferred tax assets; other potential tax exposures; changes in credit ratings assigned to us; changes in laws and governmental regulations, including tax and transfer pricing laws; costs associated with compliance with environmental laws and regulations; liquidity risks; inability to achieve future investment returns that equal or exceed past returns; the unpredictability of, and fluctuation in, the trading price of our Common Shares; and other factors set out in our Annual Information Form filed with securities commissions in Canada and our annual report on Form 40-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and subsequent filings. In evaluating forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, and readers should specifically consider the various factors which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements or forward-looking information.

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

[Unaudited]

[All amounts in U.S. dollars and all tabular amounts in millions unless otherwise noted]

 

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, 2016 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2016 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 March 31, 2017 and the results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

[b] Retrospective Changes

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board [“FASB”] issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash”, which requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 also requires companies who report cash and restricted cash separately on the balance sheet to reconcile those amounts to the statement of cash flows.  [Refer to Note 4. Details of Cash from Operating Activities.]  The provisions of ASU 2016-18 are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt the requirements of the new standard in the first quarter of 2017 using the retrospective transition method, as required.

 

The impact of adopting this new standard on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended was as follows:

1.              SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

[c] Future Accounting Standards

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09)”, to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (“ASU 2016-08”); ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”); ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”); and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2016-20”), collectively, the “new revenue standard”.

 

The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services.  ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 using either of two methods: [i] retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or [ii] retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per ASU 2014-09.

 

The Company has established a cross-functional team to implement the guidance related to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The Company is in the process of evaluating its customer contracts and identifying contractual provisions that may result in a change in the timing, or the amount of revenue recognized in comparison with current guidance. In addition, the Company is assessing the enhanced disclosure requirements of the new guidance and the design of new controls and processes designed to comply with ASU 2014-09.  The Company has not yet selected a transition method and plans to adopt the new revenue standard effective January 1, 2018.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases: Topic 842 (ASU 2016-02)”, to supersede nearly all existing lease guidance under GAAP. The guidance would require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets.   ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using a modified retrospective approach with the option to elect certain practical expedients.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Income Taxes

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory”. This guidance requires that the tax effects of all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory be recognized in the period in which the transaction occurs. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption as of the beginning of an annual reporting period is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU No. 2017-4, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for Goodwill Impairment”. This guidance simplifies subsequent goodwill measurement by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The new standard is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The standard must be applied prospectively. Upon adoption, the standard will impact how the Company assesses goodwill for impairment.  The Company will adopt ASU No. 2017-4 in the fourth quarter of 2017, in conjunction with the performance of its annual goodwill test.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Pensions

 

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (ASU 2017-07)” which changes the way employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or postretirement benefit plans reflect net periodic benefit costs in the income statement. Under the current standard, the components of net periodic benefit costs are aggregated and reported within the operating section of the income statement or capitalized into assets when appropriate. The new standard requires a company to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line as other employee compensation costs with the remaining components of net periodic benefit cost presented separately from the service cost component and outside of any subtotal of operating income, if one is presented. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. ASU 2017-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

[c] Seasonality

 

The Company’s businesses are generally not seasonal. However, the Company’s sales and profits are closely related to its automotive customers’ vehicle production schedules. The Company’s largest North American customers typically halt production for approximately two weeks in July and one week in December. Additionally, many of the Company’s customers in Europe typically shutdown vehicle production during portions of August and one week in December.

6.              VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

 

The Company has two investees that are variable interest entities [“VIEs”]. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary and has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to these entities. As a result, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of these variable interest entities are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s maximum exposure to any potential losses associated with these affiliated companies is limited to its investment, which was $198 million at March 31, 2017, and $187 million at December 31, 2016.

 

The carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet related to the consolidated VIEs are as follows:

[i]             The Company has an agreement for a credit facility that is drawn in euros.  The Company is required to secure any amounts drawn on the facility with a USD cash deposit of 105% of the outstanding euro balance.  As at March 31, 2017, the gross amount outstanding under the credit facility was $187 million [€175 million].  The credit agreement includes a netting arrangement with the bank that provides for the legal right of setoff.  Accordingly, as at March 31, 2017, this liability balance was offset against the related restricted cash equivalent deposit of $197 million.  The remaining net deposit of $10 million was included in the prepaid expenses and other balance, and is restricted under the terms of the loan. As at December 31, 2016 the gross amount outstanding under the credit facility was $185 million [€175 million], and net deposit included in the prepaid expenses and other balance was $9 million.

 

[ii]          The Company issues short-term promissory notes [“Commercial Paper”] pursuant to a U.S. commercial paper program and a euro-commercial paper program. The Company’s commercial paper borrowings are supported by the Company’s existing global credit facility, and proceeds are being used for general corporate purposes.

 

As at March 31, 2017, there were no U.S. commercial paper notes [the “U.S. notes”] outstanding and $481 million [€450 million] euro-commercial paper notes [the “euro notes”] outstanding, with a negative weighted-average interest rate of 0.11%.  As at December 31, 2016, $295 million U.S. notes were outstanding with a weighted-average interest rate of 1.04% and $320 million [€304 million] of euro notes were outstanding with a negative weighted-average interest rate of 0.07%. Maturities for the commercial paper are generally less than three months.

[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, short-term borrowings 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.

 

Commercial Paper

 

Due to the short period to maturity of the commercial paper, the carrying value as presented in the consolidated balance sheet is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.

 

Term debt

 

The Company’s term debt includes $152 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 March 31, 2017, the net book value of the Company’s Senior Notes was $2.30 billion and the estimated fair value was $2.41 billion, determined primarily using active market prices.

13.       FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

[d]         Credit risk

 

The Company’s financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents, accounts receivable, held to maturity investments, 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 an investment grade credit rating. Credit risk is further reduced by limiting the amount which is invested in certain major financial institution.

 

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.

 

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 month period ended March 31, 2017, sales to the Company’s six largest customers represented 81% of the Company’s total sales, and substantially all of the Company’s sales are to customers in which it has ongoing contractual relationships.

 

[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 the Company’s cash and cash equivalents is impacted more by the investment decisions made and the demands to have available cash on hand, than by movements in the interest rates over a given period.

 

In addition, 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 March 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts representing commitments to buy and sell various foreign currencies. Significant commitments are as follows:

 

 

 

Buys

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.

 

[a]         In November 1997, the Company and two of its subsidiaries were sued by KS Centoco Ltd., an Ontario-based steering wheel manufacturer in which the Company has a 23% equity interest, and by Centoco Holdings Limited, the owner of the remaining 77% equity interest in KS Centoco Ltd. In March 1999, the plaintiffs were granted leave to make substantial amendments to the original statement of claim in order to add several new defendants and claim additional remedies and, in February 2006, the plaintiffs further amended their claim to add an additional remedy. In February 2016, a consent order was granted allowing the Plaintiffs to file a fresh statement of claim which includes an additional remedy and reduces certain aggravated and punitive damages claimed [the “Main Action”].  The fresh statement of claim alleges, among other things:

 

·            breach of fiduciary duty by the Company and two of its subsidiaries;

·            breach by the Company of its binding letter of intent with KS Centoco Ltd., including its covenant not to have any interest, directly or indirectly, in any entity that carries on the airbag business in North America, other than through MST Automotive Inc., a company to be 77% owned by Magna and 23% owned by Centoco Holdings Limited;

·            the plaintiff’s exclusive entitlement to certain airbag technologies in North America pursuant to an exclusive licence agreement [the “Licence Agreement”], together with an accounting of all revenues and profits resulting from the alleged use by the Company, TRW Inc. [“TRW”] and other unrelated third party automotive supplier defendants of such technology in North America;

·            inducement by the Company of a breach of the Licence Agreement by TRW;

·            a conspiracy by the Company, TRW and others to deprive KS Centoco Ltd. of the benefits of such airbag technology in North America and to cause Centoco Holdings Limited to sell to TRW its interest in KS Centoco Ltd. in conjunction with the Company’s sale to TRW of its interest in MST Automotive GmbH and TEMIC Bayern-Chemie Airbag GmbH; and

·            oppression by the defendants.

 

The plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, damages of approximately Cdn$2.56 billion in the Main Action. Document production, completion of undertakings and examinations for discovery are substantially complete, although limited additional examinations for discovery are expected to occur.

 

In April 2016, the Company filed a new claim against Centoco Holdings Limited and KS Centoco Ltd. seeking an order under the Ontario Business Corporations Act to wind-up the business and affairs of KS Centoco Ltd. and distribute its assets to the shareholders [the “Wind-Up Action”]. In June 2016, Centoco Holdings Limited and KS Centoco Ltd. filed a statement of defence and counterclaim in the Wind-Up Action alleging breach of fiduciary duty and bad faith performance of contractual obligations by the Company and two of its officers who were the Company’s representatives on KS Centoco Ltd.’s Board of Directors for a number of years [the “Centoco Counterclaim”]. Pursuant to the Centoco Counterclaim, Centoco Holdings Limited and KS Centoco Ltd. are claiming damages of approximately Cdn$1.8 billion.

 

Both actions will be tried together at a trial scheduled to commence on October 30, 2017. The claims and damages in the Centoco Counterclaim substantially duplicate those described in the Main Action and, as a result, the Company believes that there is no incremental liability due to the Centoco Counterclaim. The Company also believes it has valid defences to the claims made by Centoco Holdings Limited and KS Centoco Ltd. in both actions and therefore intends to continue to vigorously defend these two cases. Due to the nature of the claims made and potential damages alleged by Centoco Holdings Limited and KS Centoco Ltd., the Company is unable to predict the final outcome of these claims.

14.       CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

 

[b]         In September 2014, the Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Economica, 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.

 

Proceedings of this nature can often continue for several years. Where wrongful conduct is found, the relevant antitrust authority can, depending on the jurisdiction, initiate administrative or criminal legal proceedings and impose administrative or criminal fines or penalties taking into account several mitigating and aggravating factors.  At this time, management is unable to predict the duration or outcome of the Brazilian investigation, 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 found to be liable.

 

The Company’s policy is to comply with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. The Company previously initiated a global review focused on antitrust risk led by a team of external counsel. If any antitrust violation is found as a result of such review, a regulatory investigation or otherwise, Magna could be subject to fines, penalties, restitution settlements and civil, administrative or criminal legal proceedings and other consequences, including reputational damage.

 

[c]          In certain circumstances, the Company is at risk for warranty costs including product liability and recall costs. Due to the nature of the costs, the Company makes its best estimate of the expected future costs [note 9]; however, the ultimate amount of such costs could be materially different. The Company continues to experience increased customer pressure to assume greater warranty responsibility. Currently, under most customer agreements, the Company only accounts for existing or probable claims. Under certain complete vehicle engineering and assembly contracts, and with respect to our powertrain systems programs, the Company records an estimate of future warranty-related costs based on the terms of the specific customer agreements, and the specific customer’s [or the Company’s] warranty experience.

15.       SEGMENTED INFORMATION

 

The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses 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 income taxes, interest expense, net, and other expense, net.

 

The following tables show segment information for the Company’s reporting segments and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBIT to the Company’s consolidated income before income taxes:
