|  | “Although 2021 presented its share of challenges, we delivered above-market sales growth and generated solid free cash flow, as we worked closely with our customers and suppliers to minimize the impacts on vehicle production. Despite significant input cost headwinds, we expect improved operating results in 2022 as the industry recovers and production schedules normalize. In addition, we remain confident in our ability to capitalize on the opportunities in front of us, especially in the areas of electrification, autonomy and new mobility.” - Swamy Kotagiri, Magna’s Chief Executive Officer

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021

Sales and Adjusted EBIT came in ahead of our expectations in the fourth quarter of 2021, as vehicle production was better than forecasted. We also benefitted from lower than anticipated net warranty and engineering costs.

We posted sales of $9.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of 14% from the fourth quarter of 2020. By contrast, global light vehicle production decreased 17% in the fourth quarter, reflecting decreases of 20% in North America, 28% in Europe, and 10% in China. The lower light vehicle production was driven by the semiconductor chip shortages the industry has faced throughout 2021.

Adjusted EBIT decreased to $508 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2020. This decrease mainly reflects lower margins earned on reduced sales, labour and other operational inefficiencies at our facilities as a result of unpredictable customer production schedules due to semiconductor chip shortages, higher production costs, including commodity, freight and energy costs, and lower net favourable commercial items. These factors were partially offset by lower profit sharing and incentive compensation costs and decreased net warranty costs.

Income from operations before income taxes was $576 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $973 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Included in income from operations before income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2021 was Other income, net of $90 million, comprised of merger agreement termination fee income and net gains on the revaluation of certain public and private equity investments, partially offset by restructuring and impairment costs. In comparison, Other expense, net was $100 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, comprised of restructuring and impairment costs and a loss on the sale of an equity-accounted investment, partially offset by net gains on the revaluation of certain private equity investments. Excluding Other (income) expense, net from both periods, income from operations before income taxes decreased $587 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.

Net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $464 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $738 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Included in net income attributable to Magna International Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2021 was Other income, net of $60 million after tax and Adjustments to Deferred Tax Valuation Allowances of $13 million (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section included in this Press Release), compared to Other expense, net of $113 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding Other (income) expense, net and Adjustments to Deferred Tax Valuation Allowances from both periods, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. decreased $460 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.

Diluted earnings per share decreased to $1.54 in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $2.45 in the comparable period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased to $1.30 compared to $2.83 in the fourth quarter of 2020.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we generated $1.4 billion in cash from operating activities after changes in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities in the fourth quarter of 2021 included $549 million in fixed asset additions, $105 million for investments, other assets and intangible assets, $94 million in acquisitions and business combinations, and $45 million in public and private equity investments.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021

We posted sales of $36.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of 11% from the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to global light vehicle production which increased 4%. Light vehicle production in 2021 was negatively impacted primarily by semiconductor chip shortages, while 2020 was negatively impacted primarily by the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions that resulted in the temporary suspension of production at substantially all OEM and supplier production facilities in the first half of 2020. In 2021, light vehicle production increased 1% in North America and declined 3% in Europe, our two largest markets, and increased 5% in China.

Adjusted EBIT increased to $2.1 billion in 2021 compared to $1.7 billion in 2020. The increase was primarily due to margins earned on higher sales, cost savings as a result of restructuring actions, lower net application engineering costs related to three upcoming ADAS program launches and decreased net warranty costs. These factors were partially offset by labour and other operational inefficiencies at our facilities as a result of unpredictable customer production schedules due to semiconductor chip shortages, higher production costs, including commodity, freight and energy costs, and higher launch costs.

During 2021, income from operations before income taxes was $1.9 billion and net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $1.5 billion, up $942 million and $757 million, respectively, each compared to 2020.

Diluted earnings per share increased to $5.00 in 2021 compared to $2.52 in 2020. Our adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 30% to $5.13 in 2021 compared to $3.95 in 2020.

During 2021, we generated cash from operations of $2.9 billion including changes in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities in 2021 included $1.4 billion in fixed asset additions, $403 million in investments, other assets and intangible assets, $530 million in acquisitions and business combinations, and $68 million in public and private equity investments.

RETURN OF CAPITAL TO SHAREHOLDERS

During the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, we repurchased 3.1 million shares for $251 million and 6.0 million shares for $517 million, respectively. In addition, we paid dividends of $127 million and $514 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

Our Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.45 per Common Share. This represents a 5% increase in the dividend. The dividend is payable on March 11, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 25, 2022.

Our Outlook is intended to provide information about management's current expectations and plans and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although considered reasonable by Magna as of the date of this document, the 2022 and 2024 Outlook above and the underlying assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from our expectations as set forth herein. The risks identified in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section below represent the primary factors which we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.

Key Drivers of Our Business

Our operating results are primarily dependent on the levels of North American, European and Chinese car and light truck production by our customers. While we supply systems and components to every major original equipment manufacturer ["OEM"], we do not supply systems and components for every vehicle, nor is the value of our content consistent from one vehicle to the next. As a result, customer and program mix relative to market trends, as well as the value of our content on specific vehicle production programs, are also important drivers of our results.

Ordinarily OEM production volumes are aligned with vehicle sales levels and thus affected by changes in such levels. Aside from vehicle sales levels, production volumes are typically impacted by a range of factors, including: 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. Additionally, COVID-19 can impact vehicle production volumes, including through: mandatory stay-at-home orders which restrict production; elevated employee absenteeism; and supply chain disruptions, such as the semiconductor chip shortage currently impacting global vehicle production volumes.

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

Body Exteriors & Structures |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | For the three months |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | ended December 31, |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2021 |  |  |  | 2020 |  |  |  | Change |
Sales | $ | 3,620 |  |  | $ | 4,393 |  |  | $ | (773 | ) |  | - 18 | %
Adjusted EBIT | $ | 168 |  |  | $ | 543 |  |  | $ | (375 | ) |  | - 69 | %
Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales (i) |  | 4.6 | % |  |  | 12.4 | % |  |  | - |  |  | - 7.8 | %

(i) Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales is calculated as Adjusted EBIT divided by Sales.

Sales for Body Exteriors & Structures decreased 18% or $773 million to $3.62 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $4.39 billion in 2020. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower global light vehicle production, including the negative impact of production disruptions due to semiconductor chip shortages. In addition, sales decreased due to the sale of three operations in Germany during the third quarter of 2021, the end of production of certain programs and net customer price concessions. These factors were partially offset by the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2020, including the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, Ford Bronco Sport, Ford Maverick and Jeep Grand Cherokee L.

Adjusted EBIT decreased $375 million to $168 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $543 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales decreased to 4.6% in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 12.4% in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decreases mainly reflect lower margins earned on reduced sales, lower net favourable commercial items, labour and other operational inefficiencies at our facilities as a result of unpredictable customer production schedules due to semiconductor chip shortages, higher production costs, including commodity and energy costs, an increase in net warranty costs and higher launch costs.

Power & Vision |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| For the three months |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| ended December 31, |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | Change |
Sales | $ | 2,804 |  |  | $ | 3,179 |  |  | $ | (375 | ) |  | - 12 | %
Adjusted EBIT | $ | 171 |  |  | $ | 359 |  |  | $ | (188 | ) |  | - 52 | %
Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales | 6.1 | % |  | 11.3 | % |  |  |  |  | - 5.2 | %

Sales for Power & Vision decreased 12% or $375 million to $2.80 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $3.18 billion in 2020. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower global light vehicle production, including the negative impact of production disruptions due to semiconductor chip shortages, and net customer price concessions. These factors were partially offset by sales from business combinations during 2021 and the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2020, including the Ford F-Series pick-up trucks, Dongfeng T5 EVO, Ford Bronco and Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer.

Adjusted EBIT decreased $188 million to $171 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $359 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales decreased to 6.1% in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 11.3% in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decreases mainly reflect lower margins earned on reduced sales, labour and other operational inefficiencies at our facilities as a result of unpredictable customer production schedules due to semiconductor chip shortages, higher production costs, including commodity, freight and energy costs, business combinations during 2021 and lower equity income. These were partially offset by a decrease in net warranty costs and lower net application engineering costs related to three upcoming ADAS program launches.

Seating Systems |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| For the three months |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| ended December 31, |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | Change |
Sales | $ | 1,299 |  |  | $ | 1,390 |  |  | $ | (91 | ) |  | - 7 | %
Adjusted EBIT | $ | 49 |  |  | $ | 85 |  |  | $ | (36 | ) |  | - 42 | %
Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales | 3.8 | % |  | 6.1 | % |  |  |  |  | - 2.3 | %

Sales for Seating Systems decreased 7% or $91 million to $1.30 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $1.39 billion in 2020. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower global light vehicle production, including the negative impact of production disruptions due to semiconductor chip shortages, and net customer price concessions. These factors were partially offset by sales from the acquisition of Hongli during 2021 and the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2020, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Skoda Enyaq and Enyaq Coupe and Geely Xingyue L.

Adjusted EBIT decreased $36 million to $49 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $85 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales decreased to 3.8% in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 6.1% in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decreases mainly reflect lower margins earned on reduced sales, labour and other operational inefficiencies at our facilities as a result of unpredictable customer production schedules due to semiconductor chip shortages, and higher production costs, including energy costs. These were partially offset by the acquisition of Hongli during 2021 and lower restructuring costs.

Complete Vehicles |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| For the three months |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| ended December 31, |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | Change |
Complete Vehicle Assembly Volumes (thousands of units) | 32.7 |  |  | 34.5 |  |  |  |  |  | - 5 | %
Sales | $ | 1,511 |  |  | $ | 1,759 |  |  | $ | (248 | ) |  | - 14 | %
Adjusted EBIT | $ | 98 |  |  | $ | 110 |  |  | $ | (12 | ) |  | - 11 | %
Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales | 6.5 | % |  | 6.3 | % |  |  |  |  | + 0.2 | %

Sales for Complete Vehicles decreased 14% or $248 million to $1.51 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $1.76 billion in the fourth quarter of 2020 and assembly volumes decreased 5% or 1,800 units. This sales decrease was primarily due to lower assembly volumes, in particular the Jaguar I-Pace, including the negative impact of production disruptions due to semiconductor chip shortages, and a $61 million decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the weakening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.

Adjusted EBIT decreased $12 million to $98 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to lower earnings on reduced engineering and assembly sales, including labour inefficiencies due to semiconductor chip shortages, and higher production costs, including energy costs. These were partially offset by higher government research and development incentives.

Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales improved to 6.5% in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 6.3% in the fourth quarter of 2020 primarily due to higher government research and development incentives and favourable program mix. These were partially offset by lower earnings on reduced engineering and assembly sales, including labour inefficiencies due to semiconductor chip shortages, and higher production costs, including energy costs.

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 and adding back Income taxes, Interest expense, net, and Other expense (income), net.

The following tables show segment information for the Company's reporting segments: See Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBIT to the Company’s consolidated Net Income.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to the financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release contains references to the Non-GAAP financial measures reconciled below. We believe the Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s financial position and results of operations, and to improve comparability between fiscal periods. In particular, management believes that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted diluted earnings per share, are useful measures in assessing the Company’s financial performance by excluding certain items that are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance. The presentation of Non-GAAP financial 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.

The following table reconciles Net income to Adjusted EBIT:

| Three months ended |  |  | Year ended

[i] In the fourth quarter of 2021 the Company recorded adjustments to the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in certain European and North America countries. The net effect of these adjustments was a reduction in income tax expense of $13 million [‘‘Adjustments to Deferred Tax Valuation Allowances’’].

Certain of the forward-looking financial measures above are provided on a Non-GAAP basis. We do not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To do so would be potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting items that are not reflective of on-going operations in any future period. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant.

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

We will hold a conference call for interested analysts and shareholders to discuss our fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021 results on Friday, February 11, 2022 at 8:00 a.m. ET. The conference call will be chaired by Swamy Kotagiri, Chief Executive Officer. The number to use for this call from North America is [1-800-909-4145]. International callers should use [1-416-981-9023]. Please call in at least 10 minutes prior to the call start time. We will also webcast the conference call at www.magna.com. The slide presentation accompanying the conference call as well as our financial review summary will be available on our website Friday prior to the call.

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

Material Forward-Looking Statement | Material Potential Risks Related to Applicable Forward-Looking Statement
Light Vehicle Production | Light vehicle sales levels Supply disruptions, including as a result of the current semiconductor chip shortage Production allocation decisions by OEMs
Total Sales Segment Sales | Economic impact of COVID-19 on consumer confidence Supply disruptions, including as a result of: a semiconductor chip shortage currently being experienced in the industry; and COVID-19 related lockdowns of large port hubs in China Elevated level of inflation Global energy shortages Concentration of sales with six customers Shifts in market shares among vehicles or vehicle segments Shifts in consumer “take rates” for products we sell
Adjusted EBIT Margin Net Income Attributable to Magna | Same risks as for Total Sales and Segment Sales above Operational underperformance Higher costs incurred to mitigate the risk of supply disruptions, including: materials price increases; higher-priced substitute supplies; premium freight costs to expedite shipments; production inefficiencies due to production lines being stopped/restarted unexpectedly based on customers’ production schedules; other unrecoverable costs; and price increases from sub-suppliers that have been negatively impacted by production inefficiencies Price concessions Commodity cost volatility Higher labour costs Tax risks
Equity Income | Same risks as Adjusted EBIT Margin and Net Income Attributable to Magna Risks related to conducting business through joint ventures

Forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us and are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances.
