MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.
The large-scale popularity of car-sharing services has led to the development of the on-demand mobility market. Travellers' preferences are gradually
shifting from car ownership to other modes of travel, with increased environmental awareness and receptiveness to innovations.
From 2018 to 2024, the global on-demand mobility market size may grow substantially at a compound annual growth rate of 30%, mainly including
Didi Chuxing, Car2Go, Hertz Corporation and other companies.
Governments around the world have expressed their support for the implementation of autonomous driving and the creation of smart cities. With
government encouragement, the on-demand mobility industry will also accelerate growth. Currently, some countries are encouraging people to use
vehicle-sharing services when commuting and to replace existing public vehicles with electric vehicles.
At present, a number of vehicle manufacturers in Germany are preparing to enter the on-demand mobility market and get a piece of the pie. BMW
Group has established a subsidiary called DriveNow, which specializes in shared mobility services, and has captured a portion of the market share in
the on-demand mobility market.
In China, the government and local governments are also actively taking action to support the development of car-sharing. In 2015, the State Council
encouraged automakers to launch innovative car-sharing models.
ZoomCar India has raised $30 million in Series D funding led by Sony Innovation Fund. This round of financing will be used for the company to further
expand its business in innovative areas such as technology, data science and the Internet of Things. To date, the company has raised a total of
$150 million in financing.
A year later, the National Development and Reform Commission put forward a series of important guidelines on the sharing economy and improving
the credit system. These initiatives have played an important role in practical application, while also making a favorable contribution to the on-demand
mobility market in China.
These shared rental vehicles are expected to revolutionize the on-demand mobility market in the next 5 to 15 years.
The business basis of car-sharing is "time-sharing leasing", that is, the service is performed in units of time. It can be seen that the most basic
income formula for car-sharing is:
Total revenue = total duration × different models × billing standard
In fact, in the early days of car-sharing, the core operational goals were to continuously improve the total service time, find the most efficient models,
and optimize billing standards.
For a city, after several years of accumulation, the average length of time, models, and billing standards will all be solidified. In the middle and late
stages of operation, in order to increase the total revenue, the most effective way is often to increase the total duration by increasing the order volume
, that is, "total duration = order volume × average duration of an order".

In order to rapidly develop the market share of the car rental project, the company has launched a global financing plan. The principal of
purchasing all products will be used as global financing funds, and the financing funds will be used for production equipment.

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. 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 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.

HI G HL I G HTS
PRODUCTION
• Throughout 2021, the automotive industry experienced supply constraints, in particular semiconductor chip shortages, which negatively impacted
global light vehicle production. Largely due to the supply constraints, our customers’ production schedules were at times unpredictable, causing
labour and other operational inefficiencies at our facilities. Our results in 2021 were also negatively impacted by inflationary cost increases in
production inputs including commodities, labour and freight.
• During 2020, COVID-19 had a significant impact on the automotive industry and our business, largely as a result of the unprecedented, industry-
wide production suspensions in the first half of 2020.
SALES & EARNINGS
• Global light vehicle production increased 4% in 2021, including an increase of 1% in North America and a decrease of 3% in Europe, our two largest
markets. In addition, light vehicle production increased 5% in China.
• Total sales increased 11% to $36.2 billion, compared to $32.6 billion in 2020, primarily reflecting the launch of new programs, the net strengthening
of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, net business combinations, higher global light vehicle production and higher assembly volumes.
• Diluted earnings per share were $5.00 in 2021, compared to $2.52 in 2020. The increase in earnings was primarily due to higher contribution on
higher sales, partially offset by the factors discussed below under “Results of Operations – Earnings Per Share”.
• We recorded $101 million in restructuring and impairment charges in 2021. These and other factors included in Other expense, net in 2021 are
discussed under “Results of Operations – Other Expense, Net”.
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $5.13, compared to $3.95 in 2020.
CASH & CAPITAL

• Cash from operating activities was $2.9 billion, compared to $3.3 billion in 2020, largely reflecting an investment in operating assets and liabilities in
2021 compared to generation of cash from operating assets and liabilities in 2020. Our increase in net income was partially offset by lower items not
involving current cash flows, in particular the non-cash impairment charges recorded in 2020.
• We continued to invest in our business, including:
· $1.4 billion for fixed assets;
· $517 million associated with the formation of a new joint venture with LG Electronics [“LG”];
· $403 million in investment and other asset spending; and
· $81 million for public and private equity investments, acquisitions and business combinations.
• We returned over $1 billion to shareholders in 2021 through $517 million in share repurchases and $514 million in dividends.
• Our Board of Directors increased our quarterly dividend by 5% to $0.45 per share reflecting its continued confidence in Magna’s future.
STRATEGIC UPDATES – ELECTRIFICATION, NEW OEMS AND ADAS

• Electrification – we continue to advance our position in electrification in order to capitalize on the global shift towards vehicle electrification, including:
· Completing our joint venture transaction with LG to manufacture e-motors, inverters and on-board chargers, as well as complete e-drive systems
for certain automakers.
· Winning two additional integrated e-drive programs, including both primary and secondary drive systems.
· Being awarded a new program from Daimler for a family of dual-clutch transmissions, including hybrid variants.
· Launching our first battery enclosures business for General Motors on a new electric vehicle model.

2 ANNUAL REPORT 2021


• New OEMs – the global shift to electrification has fostered the emergence of a number of new, electric vehicle [“EV”] focused OEMs. We continue
to pursue opportunities and grow our business with such OEMs. Achievements include:
· The launch of the Arcfox α-S, the second vehicle in BJEV’s Arcfox brand, in our complete vehicle manufacturing joint venture operation with
BJEV.
· Reaching the second milestone in our cooperation with Fisker Inc. [“Fisker”], signing a long-term manufacturing agreement for the production of
the Fisker Ocean SUV at our assembly facility in Graz, Austria. Manufacturing is scheduled to begin in November of 2022.
• ADAS – we continue to progress with developing our advanced driver assistance systems business, as evidenced by:
· The award of a new program for advanced front cameras from a European-based global OEM.
· The addition of more than 120 employees from Optimus Ride, to enhance Magna’s capabilities in ADAS.
· The award of an industry-first integrated driver and occupant monitoring system with a German-based automaker.
ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

• We disposed of three Body Exteriors & Structures operations based in Germany.


• We reached a binding agreement to dispose of our seating operations in Brazil.
• We acquired Klein Automotive, a metalforming operation in the Czech Republic.
• In July, we entered an agreement for the acquisition of Veoneer, Inc. [“Veoneer”]. Subsequent to our agreement, Qualcomm Incorporated
[“Qualcomm”] made a separate proposal to acquire Veoneer. In October, the Board of Directors of Veoneer determined that the proposal by
Qualcomm to acquire Veoneer was a superior proposal considering the terms of the merger agreement between us and Veoneer. Consequently,
Veoneer terminated its merger agreement with us.
LEADERSHIP

• Our Board approved the following management changes effective January 1, 2022:

· Vince Galifi, previously Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer was appointed as President.
· Pat McCann, previously Senior Vice-President, Finance was promoted to Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer.
· Anton Mayer, previously Executive Vice-President, Research & Development was promoted to Executive Vice-President and Chief Technology
Officer.

OTHER

• We committed to achieving carbon neutrality in our operations (Scope 1 and 2) in Europe by 2025 and globally by 2030.

Forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us, and are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our
experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are
appropriate in the circumstances. While we believe we have a reasonable basis for making any such forward-looking statements, they are not a
guarantee of future performance or outcomes. Whether actual results and developments conform to 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 the
risk factors which are described later in this MD&A.
INDUSTRY TRENDS
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 chain 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 through:
mandatory stay-at-home orders which restrict operations of car dealerships, as well as through a deterioration of consumer confidence.

While the foregoing economic, political and other factors are part of the general context in which the global automotive industry operates, there were
a number of significant industry trends that impacted us during 2021, including:

• supply chain disruptions, including the global shortage of semiconductor chips that materially affected global automotive production volumes, as
well as shortages of certain commodities;
• operational inefficiencies related to “start-stop” production due to semiconductor chip and other supply disruptions at our customers’ facilities;
• the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact of shipping capacity constraints, and labour shortages in the value chain;
• inflationary price increases in the value chain;
• energy supply disruptions, including unplanned production shutdowns of some of our, our sub-suppliers’ and customers’ manufacturing facilities in
China due to electricity rationing.
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 advanced driver assistance systems, as well as future mobility business models.
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 which are discussed later in this MD&A.

Overall, global light vehicle production increased 4% in 2021, however, both 2020 and 2021 were impacted by significant global events which led to
significant variability in production volumes throughout both years. Light vehicle production volumes were severely impacted by COVID-19 pandemic
related production shutdowns in the first half of 2020, while the second half of 2020 saw a strong rebound. In each of the first three quarters of 2021
there was sequential weakening of light vehicle production volumes as the semiconductor chip shortage became progressively worse. The fourth
quarter of 2021 saw some sequential recovery, however global production volumes were still lower compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021

SALES

Sales increased 11% or $3.59 billion to $36.24 billion for 2021 compared to $32.65 billion for 2020 primarily as a result of higher global light vehicle
production and higher assembly volumes, including the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020 partially offset by the negative impact
of production disruptions due to semiconductor chip shortages during 2021. In addition, sales increased due to:
• the launch of programs during or subsequent to 2020;
• the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar sales by $983 million; and
• net business combinations during 2021 which increased sales by $942 million.
These factors were partially offset by:
• the end of production of certain programs; and
• net customer price concessions subsequent to 2020.
COST OF GOODS SOLD

2021 2020 Change

Material $ 21,817 $ 19,750 $ 2,067


Direct labour 2,781 2,498 283
Overhead 6,499 5,959 540
Cost of goods sold $ 31,097 $ 28,207 $ 2,890

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC. 5


Cost of goods sold increased $2.89 billion to $31.10 billion for 2021 compared to $28.21 billion for 2020, primarily due to:
• higher material, direct labour and overhead associated with higher sales;
• the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar cost of goods sold by $833 million;
• net business combinations during 2021;
• higher commodity, freight and energy costs in proportion to sales;
• higher labour and other operational inefficiencies in proportion to sales due to the unpredictability of our customers’ production schedules in
2021; and
• higher launch costs.
These factors were partially offset by:
• cost savings and operating efficiencies, including as a result of implemented restructuring actions;
• lower net application engineering costs related to three upcoming ADAS program launches; and
• lower net warranty costs of $83 million.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization increased $146 million to $1.51 billion for 2021 compared to $1.37 billion for 2020 primarily due to:
• net business combinations during 2021 which increased depreciation and amortization by $45 million;
• the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar depreciation and amortization by $42 million;
and
• increased capital deployed at new and existing facilities to support the launch of programs subsequent to 2020.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE [“SG&A”]
SG&A expense increased $130 million to $1.72 billion for 2021 compared to $1.59 billion for 2020, primarily as a result of:
• a $45 million provision on an engineering services contract with the automotive unit of Evergrande in our Complete Vehicles segment;
• the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar SG&A expense by $44 million;
• net business combinations during 2021 which increased SG&A by $44 million;
• higher consulting costs;
• higher labour and benefit costs;
• costs incurred at new facilities; and
• higher incentive compensation and employee profit sharing due to improved financial performance.
These factors were partially offset by:
• a favourable value-added tax settlement in Brazil during 2021;
• transactional foreign exchange gains in 2021 compared to transactional foreign exchange losses in 2020; and
• higher royalty and licencing income.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET
Net interest expense decreased $8 million to $78 million for 2021 compared to $86 million for 2020 primarily as a result of interest income recognized
on a favourable value-added tax settlement in Brazil during 2021 and interest earned on higher cash balances, partially offset by an increase in
long-term borrowings due to the issuance of $750 million of 2.45% fixed rate Senior notes during the second quarter of 2020.
EQUITY INCOME
Equity income decreased $41 million to $148 million for 2021 compared to $189 million for 2020, primarily as a result of the reorganization of certain
transmission joint ventures which resulted in these entities no longer being equity-accounted for, and net business combinations during 2021, partially
offset by earnings on higher sales at certain other equity-accounted entities.

(1) Restructuring and impairments

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded restructuring and impairment charges of $67 million [$52 million after tax] in our Power &
Vision segment, $18 million [$17 million after tax] in our Seating Systems segment and $16 million [$14 million after tax] in our Body Exteriors &
Structures segment.
During 2020, we recorded restructuring and impairment charges of $123 million [$118 million after tax] in our Body Exteriors & Structures segment,
$115 million [$90 million after tax] in our Power & Vision segment and $31 million [$29 million after tax] in our Seating Systems segment. Of the total
charges, $168 million was related to restructuring plans implemented by us to right-size our business in response to the impact that COVID-19 was
expected to have on vehicle production volumes over the short to medium term. These restructuring plans included plant closures and workforce
reductions which were substantially completed by December 31, 2021.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded unrealized losses of $6 million [$12 million after tax] on the revaluation of public and private
equity investments and unrealized gains of $4 million [$3 million after tax] related to the revaluation of public company warrants.
During 2020, we recorded unrealized gains of $34 million [$29 million after tax] on the revaluation of our private equity investments and a non-cash
impairment charge of $2 million [$2 million after tax] related to a private equity investment, which was included in our Corporate segment.
(3) Merger agreement termination fee
In the fourth quarter of 2021, Veoneer, Inc. [“Veoneer”] terminated its merger agreement with us. In connection with the termination of the merger
agreement, Veoneer paid us a termination fee which, net of our associated transaction costs, amounted to $100 million [$75 million after tax].

(4) Gain on business combinations


During 2021, we acquired a 65% equity interest and a controlling financial interest in Chongqing Hongli Zhixin Scientific Technology Development
Group LLC. [“Hongli”]. The acquisition included an additional 15% equity interest in two entities that we previously equity accounted for. On the
change in basis of accounting we recognized a $22 million gain [$22 million after tax].

During 2021, substantially all of the assets of our European joint venture with Ford Motor Company [“Ford”], Getrag Ford Transmission GmbH
[“GFT”], were distributed to either Ford or us, which resulted in us recording a gain of $18 million [$18 million after tax]. As part of the distribution,
we received GFT’s non-controlling interest in a Chinese joint venture, a facility in Europe and cash.
See Note 5, “Business Combinations”, to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

(5) Loss on sale of business


During 2021, we sold three Body Exteriors & Structures operations in Germany. Under the terms of the arrangement, we provided the buyer with
$41 million of funding, resulting in a loss on disposal of $75 million [$75 million after tax].

(6) Impairments and loss on sale of equity-accounted investments


The following table summarizes the impairment charges and loss on sale recorded for certain investments in our Power & Vision segment in 2020:

Impairment of Getrag (Jiangxi) Transmission Co., Ltd. [“GJT”] (i) $ 337


Loss on sale and impairment of Dongfeng Getrag Transmission Co. Ltd. [“DGT”](ii) 10
Total impairments and loss on sale of equity-accounted investments 347
Tax effect on Other Expense, net (53)
Loss attributable to non-controlling interests (75)
Non-cash impairment charge included in Net income attributable to Magna International Inc. $ 219

(i) An impairment for GJT was recorded based on pricing pressure in the China market as well as declines in volume and sales projections for the
foreseeable future. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the governing documents related to GJT were revised, providing us with a controlling financial
interest and as a result, we began consolidating GJT on December 29, 2020. See Note 5, “Business Combinations”, to the consolidated financial
statements included in this Report.
(ii) During 2020, we recorded a $10 million [$10 million after tax] loss on the sale of our 50% interest in DGT.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS BEFORE INCOME TAXES

Income from operations before income taxes was $1.95 billion for 2021 compared to $1.01 billion for 2020. This $942 million increase is a result of the
following changes, each as discussed above:

2021 2020 Change

Sales $ 36,242 $ 32,647 $ 3,595


Costs and expenses
Cost of goods sold 31,097 28,207 2,890

Income taxes as reported $ 395 20.3% $ 329 32.7%
Tax effect on Other expense, net (14) (1.1) 80 (7.0)
Adjustments to Deferred Tax Valuation Allowances 13 0.6 – –
$ 394 19.8% $ 409 25.7%

During 2021 we recorded adjustments to valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets. As a result of a restructuring in Germany and unrealized
capital gains in Canada we released a portion of our valuation allowances. These effects were partially offset by new valuation allowances against
deferred tax assets in the Czech Republic and Italy due to cumulative losses in recent years. The net effect of these adjustments was a reduction in
income tax expense of $13 million [“Adjustments to Deferred Tax Valuation Allowances”].

Excluding the tax effect on Other expense, net, and the Adjustments to Deferred Tax Valuation Allowances our effective income tax rate decreased to
19.8% for 2021 compared to 25.7% for 2020 primarily as a result of:

• higher favourable changes in our reserves for uncertain tax positions;


• lower losses not benefited in Europe and South America;
• lower accrued tax on undistributed foreign earnings; and
• an increase in research and development credits.

These factors were partially offset by an unfavourable re-measurement of deferred tax assets of a China subsidiary.

(INCOME) LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS


Income attributable to non-controlling interests was $39 million for 2021 compared to a loss attributable to non-controlling interests of $80 million for
2020. This $119 million change was substantially due to an impairment charge attributable to non-controlling interests of $75 million recorded in 2020
and a $28 million increase as a result of consolidating certain transmission joint ventures that were previously equity-accounted for. In addition,
improved net income at our non-wholly owned operations in China and the acquisition of Hongli during 2021 contributed to this increase.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.


Net income attributable to Magna International Inc. increased $757 million to $1.514 billion for 2021 compared to $757 million for 2020 as a result of an
increase in income from operations before income taxes of $942 million, partially offset by an increase of $119 million in income attributable to
non-controlling interests and an increase in income taxes of $66 million.

Diluted 302.8 300.4 +1%
Adjusted diluted earnings per share $ 5.13 $ 3.95 +30%

Diluted earnings per share was $5.00 for 2021 compared to $2.52 for 2020. The $2.48 increase was substantially a result of higher net income
attributable to Magna International Inc., as discussed above, partially offset by an increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding
during 2021. The increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding was primarily due to the exercise of stock options during or
subsequent to 2020 and an increase in diluted shares related to outstanding stock options as a result of the increase in our share price. This increase
was partially offset by the purchase and cancellation of Common Shares, during or subsequent to 2020, pursuant to our normal course issuer bids.
Other expense, net, after tax, and Adjustments to Deferred Tax Valuation Allowances negatively impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.13 in 2021,
and $1.43 in 2020, respectively, as discussed in the “Other expense, net”, “Income Taxes” and “(Income) loss attributable to non-controlling interests”
sections above.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share, as reconciled in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation” section, was $5.13 for 2021 compared to
$3.95 for 2020, an increase of $1.18.

Corporate and Other (79) 84 +0.3%
2021 $ 36,242 $ 2,064 5.7%

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC. 9


Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales increased to 5.7% for 2021 compared to 5.1% for 2020, primarily due to:

• the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020;


• cost savings and operating efficiencies, including as a result of implemented restructuring actions;
• lower net application engineering costs related to three upcoming ADAS program launches;
• lower net warranty costs;
• higher tooling contribution; and
• amortization related to the initial value of public company warrants.
These factors were partially offset by:

• the negative impact of production disruptions due to semiconductor chip shortages during 2021, including higher labour and other operational
inefficiencies as a result of the unpredictability of our customers’ production schedules;
• higher production costs in proportion to sales, including commodity, freight and energy costs;
• the benefit of COVID-19 related government employee support programs during 2020;
• higher launch costs;
• a provision on an engineering services contract with the automotive unit of Evergrande in our Complete Vehicles segment;
• higher employee profit sharing and incentive compensation due to improved financial performance;
• higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
• a favourable engineering program resolution in 2020 in our Complete Vehicle segment; and
• net customer price concessions subsequent to 2020.
RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital Return on Invested Capital

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital increased to 10.3% for 2021 compared to 7.9% for 2020 as a result of an increase in Adjusted After-tax operating
profits partially offset by higher Average Invested Capital. Other expense, net, after tax and Adjustments to Deferred Tax Valuation Allowances negatively
impacted Return on Invested Capital by 0.2% in 2021 and by 3.2% in 2020.
Average Invested Capital increased $161 million to $16.01 billion 2021 compared to $15.84 billion for 2020 primarily due to:

• the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar;


• net business combinations during 2021;
• recognition of the initial value and subsequent revaluation of the vested portion of the public company warrants in 2021; and
• investments in and favourable revaluations of certain public and private equity investments.

These factors were partially offset by:


• a decrease in average non-cash working capital;
• average depreciation expense on fixed assets in excess of our average investment in fixed assets; and
• the impairment of assets recorded during 2020.
RETURN ON EQUITY
Return on Equity

Return on Equity was 12.5% for 2021 compared to 7.0% for 2020. This increase was due to higher net income attributable to Magna, partially offset by
higher average shareholders’ equity. Other expense, net, after tax and Adjustments to Deferred Tax Valuation Allowances negatively impacted Return
on Equity by 0.3% in 2021 and by 4.0% in 2020.

• the launch of programs during or subsequent to 2020, including the:
· Ford Bronco Sport;
· GM full-size SUV’s;
· Jeep Grand Cherokee L; and
· Ford Mustang Mach E; and
• the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported U.S. dollar sales by $354 million.
These factors were partially offset by:
• the end of production of certain programs;

Sales increased 13% or $691 million to $6.11 billion for 2021 compared to $5.42 billion for 2020 primarily as a result of a 15% increase in assembly
volumes, including the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 partially offset by the negative impact of production disruptions due to
semiconductor chip shortages during 2021. In addition, sales were positively impacted by a $233 million increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a
result of the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.
Adjusted EBIT Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales

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

Adjusted EBIT increased $13 million to $287 million for 2021 compared to $274 million for 2020 while Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales
decreased to 4.7% from 5.1%. Adjusted EBIT increased primarily due to higher earnings due to higher assembly volumes, net of contractual fixed cost
recoveries on certain programs. Excluding this factor, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales were lower primarily due to:
• a $45 million provision on an engineering services contract with the automotive unit of Evergrande;
• a favourable engineering program resolution in 2020;
• higher production costs in proportion to sales, including freight and energy costs; and
• higher employee profit sharing and incentive compensation due to improved financial performance.

These factors were partially offset by higher favourable government research and development incentives in 2021, higher margins on engineering
programs, and the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar, which had a favourable $12 million impact on reported U.S. dollar Adjusted EBIT.
CORPORATE AND OTHER

Adjusted EBIT was earnings of $67 million for 2021 compared to a loss of $17 million for 2020. The $84 million improvement was primarily the result of:
• amortization related to the initial value of public company warrants;
• lower incentive compensation and employee profit sharing;
• lower transactional foreign exchange losses in 2021 compared to 2020;
• lower labour and benefits;
• an increase in fees received from our divisions; and
• a loss on sale of assets during 2020.

Cash provided from operating activities


Comparing 2021 to 2020, cash provided from operating activities decreased $338 million. The negative impact of production disruptions due to
semiconductor chip shortages during 2021, including higher labour and other operational inefficiencies as a result of the unpredictability of our
customers’ production schedules resulted in lower cash generation than would be expected from the increase in production volumes. Specifically, we
used $3.21 billion of additional cash for materials and overhead, $709 million for labour partially offset by collecting an additional $3.74 billion from our
customers.

Changes in operating assets and liabilities


During 2021, we used $189 million for operating assets and liabilities, primarily as result of increased production inventory related to supply chain and
customers disruptions.

These uses of cash were partially offset by:

• an increase in accounts payable;


• an increase in taxes payable; and
• a decrease in production and other receivables as a result of lower operating activity in the month of December 2021 compared to the month of
December 2020.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
A purchase obligation is defined as an agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally binding on us and that specifies all
significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of
the transaction. Consistent with our customer obligations, substantially all of our purchases are made under purchase orders with our suppliers which
are requirements based and accordingly do not specify minimum quantities. Other long-term liabilities are defined as long-term liabilities that are
recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. Based on this definition, the following table includes only those contracts which include fixed or minimum
obligations.
At December 31, 2021, we had contractual obligations requiring annual payments as follows:

Foreign Currency Activities


Our North American operations negotiate sales contracts with OEMs for payment in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars and Mexican pesos. Materials and
equipment are purchased in various currencies depending upon competitive factors, including relative currency values. Our North American operations
use labour and materials which are paid for in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars and Mexican pesos. Our Mexican operations generally use the U.S. dollar
as the functional currency.
Our European operations negotiate sales contracts with OEMs for payment principally in euros. Our European operations’ material, equipment and
labour are paid for principally in euros and U.S. dollars.
Our Asian operations negotiate sales contracts with OEMs for payment principally in Chinese renminbi. Our Asian operations’ material, equipment and
labour are paid for principally in Chinese renminbi.
We employ hedging programs, primarily through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts, in an effort to manage our foreign exchange exposure,
which arises when manufacturing facilities have committed to the delivery of products for which the selling price or material purchases have been
quoted in foreign currencies and for labour in countries where their local currency is not their functional currency. These commitments represent our
contractual obligations to deliver products over the duration of the product programs, which can last a number of years. The amount and timing of the

18 ANNUAL REPORT 2021


forward contracts will be dependent upon a number of factors, including anticipated production delivery schedules and anticipated production costs,
which may be paid in the foreign currency. Despite these measures, significant long-term fluctuations in relative currency values, in particular a
significant change in the relative values of the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, euro, Chinese renminbi and Mexican peso, could have an adverse effect on
our profitability and financial condition (as discussed throughout this MD&A).

NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
Subsequent to December 31, 2021, we purchased 1,600,500 Common Shares for cancellation and 165,773 Common Shares to satisfy stock-based
compensation awards each under our existing normal course issuer bid for cash consideration of $132 million.

S E N I OR NOT ES R E D E M P TI O N
On February 28, 2022, we redeemed for cash the entire aggregate principle amount outstanding of the Cdn$425 million 3.100% Senior Notes due 2022
[“the Notes”]. The redemption price for the Notes was Cdn$430 million, resulting in a loss on early extinguishment of Cdn$5 million that reflects the
payment of the premium to redeem the Notes and the write-off of the unamortized debt issuance costs.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies”, to the consolidated financial statements
included in this Report. The preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the
date of the consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are based on our historical experience, and various other assumptions
we believe to be reasonable in the circumstances. Since these estimates and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, actual
results in these areas may differ significantly from our estimates.
We believe the following critical accounting policies and estimates affect the more subjective or complex judgements and estimates used in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management has discussed the development and selection of the
following critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed our disclosure relating
to critical accounting policies in this MD&A.
REVENUE RECOGNITION – COMPLETE VEHICLE ASSEMBLY ARRANGEMENTS

The Company’s complete vehicle assembly contracts with customers are complex and often include promises to transfer multiple products and
services, some of which may be implicitly contracted for. For these complex arrangements, each good or service is evaluated to determine whether it
represents a distinct performance obligation, and whether it should be characterized as revenue or reimbursement of costs incurred. The total
transaction price is then allocated to the distinct performance obligations based on the expected cost plus a margin approach and recognized as
revenue.

Significant interpretation and judgment is sometimes required to determine the appropriate accounting for these contracts including:(i)combining
contracts that may impact the allocation of the transaction price between products and services; (ii) determining whether performance obligations are
considered distinct and are required to be accounted for separately or combined; and (iii) the allocation of the transaction price to each distinct
performance obligation and determining when to recognize revenue.
IMPAIRMENT ASSESSMENTS – GOODWILL, LONG-LIVED ASSETS, AND EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

We review goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Goodwill impairment is assessed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to the underlying carrying
value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment is recognized
based on that difference. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using the estimated discounted future cash flows of the reporting unit.
In addition to our review of goodwill, we evaluate fixed assets and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist.
Indicators of impairment include the bankruptcy of a significant customer or the early termination, loss, renegotiation of the terms of, significant volume
decrease in, or delay in the implementation of, any significant production contract. If the sum of the future cash flows expected to result from the asset,
undiscounted and without interest charges, is less than the reported value of the asset, an asset impairment may be recognized in the consolidated
financial statements. The amount of impairment to be recognized is calculated by subtracting the fair value of the asset from the reported value of the
asset.
As of December 31, 2021, we had equity method investments of $1.0 billion. We monitor our investments for indicators of other-than-temporary
declines in value on an ongoing basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. If we determine that an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred, we
recognize an impairment loss, which is measured as the difference between the book value and the fair value of the investment.

We believe that accounting estimates related to goodwill, long-lived asset, and equity method investment impairment assessments are “critical
accounting estimates” because: (i) they are subject to significant measurement uncertainty and are susceptible to change as management is required
to make forward-looking assumptions regarding the impact of improvement plans on current operations, in-sourcing and other new business
opportunities, program pricing and cost assumptions on current and future business, the timing of new program launches and future forecasted
production volumes; and (ii) any resulting impairment loss could have a material impact on our consolidated net income and on the amount of assets
reported in our consolidated balance sheet.

WARRANTY

We record product warranty costs, which include product liability and recall costs. Under most customer agreements, we only account for existing or
probable claims on product default issues when amounts related to such issues are probable and reasonably estimable. Under certain complete
vehicle assembly, powertrain systems, and electronics contracts, we record 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 our 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. In making this estimate, judgement is also required as to the ultimate negotiated sharing
of the cost between us, the customer and, in some cases a supplier. Where applicable, insurance recoveries related to such provisions are also
recorded.
Due to the uncertain nature of the net costs, actual product liability costs could be materially different from our best estimates of future costs.
INCOME TAXES
The determination of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. Significant judgement and estimates
are required in determining our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. We recognize
tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities,
based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on
the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
At December 31, 2021, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $142 million excluding interest and penalties, of which $126 million, if recognized,
would affect our effective tax rate. The gross unrecognized tax benefits differ from the amount that would affect our effective tax rate due primarily to
the impact of the valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial statement
carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Accounting standards require
that we assess whether valuation allowances should be established or maintained against our deferred income tax assets, based on consideration of
all available evidence, using a “more-likely-than-not” standard. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are: history of losses, forecasts
of future pre-tax income and tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the
realizability of deferred tax assets by assessing our valuation allowances and by adjusting the amount of such allowances as necessary. We use tax
planning strategies to realize deferred tax assets in order to avoid the potential loss of these tax benefits. Changes in our estimates, due to unforeseen
events or otherwise, could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Refer to Note 10, “Income Taxes” of the notes
to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

EMPLOYEE FUTURE BENEFIT PLANS


The determination of the obligation and expense for defined benefit pension, termination and long service arrangements and other post-retirement
benefits, such as retiree healthcare and medical benefits, is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such
amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and rates of increase in
compensation costs. Actual results that differ from the assumptions used are accumulated and amortized over future periods and therefore impact the
recognized expense in future periods. Significant changes in assumptions or significant plan amendments could materially affect our future employee
benefit obligations and future expense.
At December 31, 2021, we had past service costs and actuarial experience losses of $214 million included in accumulated other comprehensive
income that will be amortized to future employee benefit expense over the expected average remaining service life of employees or over the expected
average life expectancy of retired employees, depending on the status of the plan.

C O MM IT M EN TS AN D C O N TI N G E N C I E S
From time to time, we may be contingently liable for litigation, legal and/or regulatory actions and proceedings and other claims. Refer to Note 22,
“Contingencies” of our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, 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, 2021.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended [the
“Exchange Act”]), are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to senior management,

22 ANNUAL REPORT 2021


including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to enable them to make timely decisions regarding
required disclosure of such information. We have conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021, under
the supervision, and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as this term is defined in the rules adopted by
Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission [“SEC”]) are effective as of December 31, 2021.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING


Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our management used the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission [“COSO”] Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Based on
this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting and concluded that, as at December 31, 2021, such internal control over financial reporting is effective. The Company’s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, has been audited by Deloitte LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, who also audited the
Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Deloitte LLP expressed an unqualified opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This report precedes our audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2021.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

R I S K FACTORS
Our short and medium-term operational success, as well as our ability to create long-term value through our business strategy, are subject to risks and
uncertainties. The following are the more significant of such risks:

RISKS RELATED TO THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY


• Economic Cyclicality: The global automotive industry is cyclical, with the potential for regional differences in timing of expansion and contraction
of economic cycles. A worsening of economic, political, or other conditions in North America, Europe or China, including as a result of COVID-19,
increasing inflation and/or rising interest rates, may result in lower consumer confidence, which typically translates into lower vehicle sales and
production levels. A significant decline in vehicle production volumes from current levels could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and
financial condition.
• Regional Volumes Declines: North America, Europe and China are key automotive producing regions for us, and our operating results are
primarily dependent on car and light truck production by our customers in these regions. A significant or sustained decline in vehicle production
volumes in any or all of these geographic regions could have a material adverse effect on our operations, sales and profitability.
• Intense Competition: The automotive supply industry is highly competitive and becoming more so. Some of our competitors have higher or more
rapidly growing market share than we do in certain product or geographic markets. Additionally, a number of established electronics and
semiconductor companies have entered or expanded their presence in the automotive industry, while disruptive technology innovators have been
introducing novel product and service solutions which traditional automotive suppliers may not be able to match. Failure to successfully compete
with existing or new competitors, including failure to grow our electronics or electric vehicle (“EV”) content at or above the rate of growth of vehicle
production, could affect our ability to fully implement our corporate strategy.
• Trade Agreements: The global growth of the automotive industry has been aided by the free movement of goods, services, people and capital
through bilateral and regional trade agreements, particularly in North America and Europe. Introduction of measures which impede free trade could
have a material adverse effect on our operations and profitability.
• Trade Disputes/Tariffs: International trade disputes could, among other things, reduce demand for and production of vehicles, disrupt global
supply chains, distort commodity pricing, impair the ability of automotive suppliers and vehicle manufacturers to make efficient long-term investment
decisions, create volatility in relative foreign exchange rates, and contribute to stock market volatility. The imposition of tariffs and/or escalation of
trade disputes which interfere with automotive supply chains could have an adverse effect on our operations and profitability.

CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER RELATED RISKS


• Customer Concentration: Although we supply parts to all of the leading OEMs, a significant majority of our sales are to six customers: BMW,
Daimler, General Motors, Stellantis, Ford and Volkswagen. In light of the amount of business we currently have with these six customers, our
opportunities for incremental growth with them in North America, Europe and China may be limited. While we continue to diversify our business,

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC. 23


including to derive increased revenue from emergent EV-focused OEMs and through new business models, there is no assurance we will be
successful. Shifts in market share away from our top customers could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
• Emergence of Potentially Disruptive EV OEMs: With the accelerating trend toward vehicle electrification, a number of potentially disruptive,
EV-focused OEMs have emerged, particularly in China. It is too early to predict which of these emergent EV-focused OEMs will succeed in the
long-term, whether independently or through cooperative relationships with each other or with any of our traditional OEM customers. Vehicle
electrification is an important component of our strategy, including through development and supply of electric drive systems and products that
support electrification, such as battery enclosures, as well as complete vehicle engineering and contract vehicle manufacturing. While we are
developing business relationships with some of the emergent EV-focused OEMs, we do not have relations with all, nor are such relationships as well
established as those with our traditional customers. The failure to sufficiently grow our sales to emergent OEMs which achieve significant commercial
success could adversely impact our long-term strategy. At the same time, conducting business with recently established OEMs poses risks and
challenges, including due to their limited operating history and (in some cases) financial and capital resources, which may elevate counterparty risk,
as well as uncertainties regarding consumer/market acceptance of their vehicles. It remains too early to determine whether our commercial
experience with such emergent EV-focused OEMs will be similar to our experience with established OEMs.
• Customer Consolidation and Cooperation: There have been a number of examples of OEM consolidation in recent years, including the merger
of PSA and Fiat Chrysler to form Stellantis. Additionally, competing OEMs are increasingly cooperating and collaborating in different ways to save
costs, including through joint purchasing activities, platform sharing, powertrain sharing, joint R&D and regional joint ventures. While OEM
consolidation and cooperation may present opportunities, they also present a risk that we could lose future business or experience even greater
pricing pressure on certain production programs, either of which could have an adverse effect on our profitability.
• Market Shifts: While we supply parts for a wide variety of vehicles produced globally, we do not supply parts for all vehicles produced, nor is the
number or value of parts evenly distributed among the vehicles for which we do supply parts. Shifts in market shares away from vehicles on which
we have significant content, as well as vehicle segments in which our sales may be more heavily concentrated, could have a material adverse effect
on our profitability.
• Consumer Take Rate Shifts: Shifts in consumer preferences may impact “take rates” for certain types of products we sell. Examples of such
products include: manual and dual-clutch transmissions; all-wheel drive systems; power liftgates; active aerodynamics systems; advanced driver
assistance systems; and complete vehicles with certain option packages or option choices. Where shifts in consumer preferences result in higher
“take rates” for products that we do not sell or for products we sell at a lower margin, our profitability may be adversely affected.
• Dependence on Outsourcing: We depend on outsourcing by OEMs. A reduction in outsourcing by OEMs or the loss of any material production
or assembly programs combined with the failure to secure alternative programs with sufficient volumes and margins, could have a material adverse
effect on our profitability.
MANUFACTURING / OPERATIONAL RISKS
• Russian Invasion of Ukraine: In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a number of countries, including the U.S. and European Union member
states, have taken actions against Russia, such as: imposition of sanctions targeting certain Russian leadership and other individuals; restrictions on
certain sectors of the Russian economy; expulsion of some Russian banks from the SWIFT global banking payment system; and other measures,
with further restrictions likely as the conflict continues. Magna currently has 6 manufacturing operations in Russia, primarily supplying VW and
Hyundai, with 2021 sales of approximately $370 million. To the extent that VW, Hyundai and/or our other OEM customers in Russia suspend Russian
production, and/or to the extent any of our OEM customers suspend production elsewhere or cease selling vehicles in the Russian market, Magna’s
sales would be adversely affected. Additionally, the conflict and restrictive measures against Russia could exacerbate a number of risks described
elsewhere in these Risk Factors, including: disruption of vehicle production and supply chains; worsening the current semiconductor chip shortage
since Russia and Ukraine are critical suppliers of neon gas and palladium used in chip production; exacerbating energy shortages or driving energy
prices higher, particularly oil and natural gas; constraining the supply of aluminum, palladium or other commodity metals required in automotive
production; and increasing cybersecurity threats.
• Semiconductor Chip Shortages and Price Increases: The global shortage of semiconductor chips had a material adverse effect on global
automotive production volumes in 2021, is expected to continue impacting volumes in 2022, and could worsen as a result of Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine. In response to the semiconductor chip shortage, OEMs continue to take actions such as: unplanned shutdowns of production lines and/or
plants; reductions in their vehicle production plans; and changes to their product mix. Such OEM responses can result in a number of direct and
indirect consequences for Tier 1 suppliers like us, including: lower sales; significant production inefficiencies due to production lines being stopped/
restarted unexpectedly based on OEMs’ production priorities; higher inventory levels; premium freight costs to expedite shipments; other
unrecoverable costs; and increased challenges in retaining employees through production disruptions. The current shortage of semiconductor
chips has also resulted in elevated prices for this critical automotive component. Tier 1 suppliers may face price increases from sub-suppliers that
have been negatively impacted by production inefficiencies, premium freight costs and/or other costs and surcharges related to the semiconductor
chip shortage. It remains unclear when supply and demand for automotive semiconductor chips will fully rebalance. A worsening or prolongation of
the semiconductor chip shortage could have a material adverse effect on our operations, sales and profitability.
• COVID-19: The development and spread of highly-transmissible COVID-19 variants such as the “Omicron” variant creates continued risk of
further disruptions to the automotive industry, including through further mandatory lockdowns/stay-at-home orders or other restrictions. These

24 ANNUAL REPORT 2021


orders may: restrict consumers’ ability to purchase vehicles; restrict production; cause elevated employee absenteeism; result in us incurring
significant unrecoverable costs; and lead to supply chain disruptions. Over the medium-to long term, the pandemic may result in societal changes
that impact the automotive industry, positively or negatively, including as a result of: expanded work-from-home practices that reduce consumers’
reliance on vehicles; and/or increased reluctance by people to utilize modes of public transit and/or shared mobility. Prolonged production shutdowns
and/or restrictions on consumers’ ability to purchase vehicles due to COVID-19 lockdowns in the short-term, or long-term changes in consumers’
vehicle purchasing behaviour, could have a material adverse effect on our operations, sales and profitability.
• Supply Disruptions: Events which prevent us from supplying products to our customers could result in a range of potential adverse consequences,
including: material price increases; elevated, unrecoverable costs such as those for premium freight or re-sourcing of supply; penalties or business
interruption claims by our customers; loss of future business; and reputational damage. In addition to the global semiconductor chip shortage,
OEMs and Tier 1 automotive suppliers could also experience supply disruptions or constraints on other critical manufacturing inputs, such as steel
and/or aluminum. The impacts of prolonged supply disruptions or constraints could have a material adverse effect on our operations and profitability.
• Inflationary Pressures: Global economies are currently experiencing elevated inflation which could curtail levels of economic activity, including in
our primary production markets. During 2021, we experienced higher commodity, freight and energy costs, as well as wage pressures related to
labour shortages in some markets. Inflationary pressures are expected to continue in 2022 and would be exacerbated by shortages or disruptions
to inputs required for automotive production, including semiconductor chips, steel and aluminum. Tier 1 suppliers may also experience price
increases or surcharges from sub-suppliers in connection with the inflationary pressures they face. The inability to offset inflationary price increases
through continuous improvement actions, price increases to our customers or modifications to our own products or otherwise, could have an
adverse effect on our profitability.
• Regional Energy Shortages: Parts of the world are experiencing energy shortages which appear to be related to a resurgence in demand due to
economic recovery, weather events; and challenges related to the transition to renewable energy generation. Prices for energy inputs critical to
manufacturing, such as natural gas and electricity, rose dramatically in parts of Europe and Asia in 2021 and may continue to increase in these or
other markets. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could disrupt natural gas supplies from Russia to Europe and/or cause elevated prices to rise further.
Prolonged energy disruptions and/or significant energy price increases could have an adverse effect on our operations and profitability.
• Product Launch: The launch of production is a complex process, the success of which depends on a wide range of factors, including: the timing,
frequency and complexity of design changes by our customers relative to start of production; production readiness of our and our customers and
suppliers’ manufacturing facilities; robustness of manufacturing processes; launch volumes; quality and production readiness of tooling and
equipment; employees; and initial product quality. Our failure to successfully launch material new or takeover business could have a material
adverse effect on our profitability and reputation.
• Operational Underperformance: From time to time, we may have operating divisions which are not performing at expected levels of profitability.
The size and complexity of automotive manufacturing operations often makes it difficult to achieve a quick turnaround of underperforming divisions.
Significant underperformance in our operating divisions could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and operations.
• Restructuring Costs: We may sell some product lines and/or downsize, close or sell some of our operating divisions. By taking such actions, we
may incur restructuring, downsizing and/or other significant non-recurring costs. These costs may be higher in some countries than others and
could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
• Impairments: We have recorded significant impairment charges related to equity interests in joint ventures, goodwill and long-lived assets in the
past, and may do so again in the future. The early termination, loss, renegotiation of the terms of, or delay in the implementation of, any significant
production contract could be indicators of impairment, as may the technological obsolescence of any of our products or production assets or
volumes that are lower than previously expected. In conducting our impairment analysis, we make forward-looking assumptions regarding: the
impact of turnaround plans on underperforming operations; new business opportunities; program price and cost assumptions on current and future
business; the timing and success of new program launches; and forecast production volumes. To the extent such forward-looking assumptions are
not met, any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
• Skilled Labour Attraction/Retention: Our business is based on successfully attracting, training and developing employees at all levels of the
company from “shop-floor” to Executive Management. The markets for highly skilled workers, as well as talented professionals and leaders in our
industry are extremely competitive, particularly in the major global automotive and technology centres in which many of our operations are located.
The inability to meet our needs for skilled workers and talented professionals and leaders, whether through recruitment or internal training and
development activities could impact our ability to profitably conduct business and/or effectively implement our strategy.
• Leadership Succession: Effective succession planning programs and practices are a critical element of our overall talent management strategy.
We experienced a significant number of planned retirements in the last few years, and may experience similar waves in future years. We maintain a
leadership development and succession program that has facilitated seamless leadership transitions to date. However, the failure to ensure effective
knowledge transfers and seamless leadership transitions involving key professionals and leaders could also impact our ability to profitably conduct
business and/or effectively implement our strategy.
• Supply Base Condition: We rely on a number of suppliers to supply us with a wide range of components required in connection with our business.
The financial health of automotive suppliers is impacted by a number of factors, including economic conditions and production volumes. A significant
worsening of economic conditions or reduction in production volumes, including as a result of COVID-19, the semiconductor chip shortage,

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC. 25


inflationary pressures or otherwise, could deteriorate the financial condition of our supply base, which could lead to, among other things: disruptions
in the supply of critical components to us or our customers; and/or temporary shut-downs of one of our production lines or the production lines of
one of our customers; all of which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
IT SECURITY / CYBERSECURITY RISKS
• IT/Cybersecurity Breach: Although we have established and continue to enhance security controls intended to protect our IT systems and
infrastructure, there is no guarantee that such security measures will be effective in preventing unauthorized physical access or cyber-attacks. A
significant breach of our IT systems could: result in theft of funds; cause disruptions in our manufacturing operations; lead to the loss, destruction
or inappropriate use of sensitive data; or result in theft of our, our customers’ or our suppliers’ intellectual property or confidential information. The
occurrence of any of the foregoing could adversely affect our operations and/or reputation, and could lead to claims against us that could have a
material adverse effect on our profitability.
• Product Cybersecurity: The risk of vehicle cyber attacks has risen with the proliferation of technology designed to connect vehicles to external
networks. Although vehicle and systems-level cybersecurity controls and protections are typically managed and/or specified by our OEM customers,
we cannot provide assurance that such controls and protections will be effective in preventing cyber intrusion through one of our products.
Furthermore, an OEM customer may still seek to hold us financially responsible, even where the OEM specified the cybersecurity controls and
protections. Any such cyber intrusion could cause reputational damage and lead to claims against us that have an adverse effect on our profitability.
PRICING RISKS
• Quote/Pricing Assumptions: The time between award of new production business and start of production typically ranges between two and
four years. Since product pricing is typically determined at the time of award, we are subject to significant pricing risk due to changes in input costs
and quote assumptions between the time of award and start of production. This risk is elevated in a rising inflation environment, as is currently the
case globally. The inability to quote effectively, or the occurrence of a material change in input cost or other quote assumptions between program
award and production, could have an adverse effect on our profitability.
• Customer Pricing Pressure: We face ongoing pricing pressure from OEMs, including through: quoting pre-requirements; long-term supply
agreements with mutually agreed price reductions over the life of the agreement; non-contractual annual price concession demands; pressure to
absorb costs related to product design, engineering and tooling, and/or amortize such costs through the piece price for the product; pressure to
assume incremental warranty costs; and OEM refusal to fully offset inflationary price increases. OEMs possess significant leverage over their
suppliers due to their purchasing power and the highly competitive nature of the automotive supply industry. As a result of the broad portfolio of
parts we supply to our six largest OEM customers, such customers may be able to exert greater leverage over us as compared to our competitors.
We attempt to offset price concessions and costs in a number of ways, including through negotiations with our customers, improved operating
efficiencies and cost reduction efforts. Our inability to fully offset price concessions, absorb design, engineering and tooling costs, and/or fully
recover such costs over the life of production, could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
• Commodity Price Volatility: Prices for certain key raw materials and commodities used in our parts, including steel, aluminum and resin, can be
volatile. To the extent we are unable to offset commodity price increases by: passing such increases to our customers, engineering products with
reduced commodity content, implementing hedging strategies, or otherwise, such additional commodity costs could have an adverse effect on our
profitability.
• Scrap Steel/Aluminum Price Volatility: Some of our manufacturing facilities generate a significant amount of scrap steel or scrap aluminum in
their manufacturing processes, but recover some of the value through the sale of such scrap. Scrap steel and scrap aluminum prices can also be
volatile and don’t necessarily move in the same direction as steel or aluminum prices. Declines in scrap steel/aluminum prices from time to time
could have an adverse effect on our profitability.
WARRANTY / RECALL RISKS
• Repair/Replacement Costs: We are responsible for repair and replacement costs of defective products we supply to our customers. Certain of
our products, such as transmissions, typically have a higher unit and labour cost in the event of replacement. Other products, such as side door
latches, are supplied in multiples of two or four for a single vehicle, which could result in significant cost in the event all need to be replaced. Our
OEM customers and/or government regulators have the ability to initiate recalls of safety products, which will also place us at risk for the
administrative costs of the recall, even in situations where we dispute the need for a recall or the responsibility for any alleged defect. The obligation
to repair or replace defective products could have a material adverse effect on our operations and profitability. To the extent such obligation arises
as a result of a product recall, we may face reputational damage, and the combination of administrative and product replacement costs could have
a material adverse effect on our profitability.
• Warranty Provisions: In certain circumstances, we are at risk for warranty costs, including product liability and recall costs, and are currently
experiencing increased customer pressure to assume greater warranty responsibility. Warranty provisions for our products are based on our best
estimate of the amounts necessary to settle existing or probable claims related to product defects. In addition, warranty provisions for our powertrain
systems, electronics and complete vehicle programs are also established on the basis of our or our customers’ warranty experience with the
applicable type of product and, in some cases, the terms in the applicable customer agreements. Actual warranty experience which results in costs
that exceed our warranty provisions, could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

26 ANNUAL REPORT 2021


• Product Liability: We cannot guarantee that the design, engineering, testing, validation and manufacturing measures we employ to ensure
high-quality products will be completely effective, particularly as electronic content and product complexity increases. In the event that our products
fail to perform as expected and such failure results in, or is alleged to result in, bodily injury and/or property damage or other losses, product liability
claims may be brought against us. The defense of product liability claims, particularly class action claims in North America, may be costly and
judgements against us could impair our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

ACQUISITION RISKS
• Inherent Merger and Acquisition Risks: Acquisitions are subject to a range of inherent risks, including the assumption of incremental regulatory/
compliance, pricing, supply chain, commodities, labour relations, litigation, environmental, pensions, warranty, recall, IT, tax or other risks. While the
conduct of due diligence on an acquisition target is intended to mitigate such risks, these efforts may not always prove to be sufficient in identifying
all risks and liabilities related to the acquisition, including as a result of: limited access to information; time constraints for conducting due diligence;
inability to access target company facilities and/or personnel; or other limitations in the due diligence process. Additionally, we may identify risks
and liabilities that we are not able to sufficiently mitigate through appropriate contractual or other protections. The realization of any such risks could
have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

OTHER BUSINESS RISKS


• Joint Ventures: We conduct certain of our operations through joint ventures under contractual arrangements under which we share management
responsibilities with one or more partners. Joint venture operations carry a range of risks, including those relating to: failure of our joint venture
partner(s) to satisfy contractual obligations; potential conflicts between us and our joint venture partner(s); strategic objectives of joint venture
partners that may differ from our own; potential delays in decision-making; a limited ability to implement some or all of our policies, practices and
controls, or to control legal and regulatory compliance, within the joint venture(s); and other risks inherent to non-wholly-owned operations. The
likelihood of such occurrences and their potential effect on us vary depending on the joint venture arrangement, however, the occurrence of any
such risks could have an adverse effect on our operations, profitability and reputation.
• Technology and Innovation: While we continue to invest in technology and innovation which we believe will be critical to our long-term growth,
the automotive industry is experiencing rapid technological change and significant disruption. Our ability to anticipate changes in technology and to
successfully develop and introduce new and enhanced products and/or manufacturing processes on a timely basis will be a significant factor in our
ability to remain competitive. If we are unsuccessful or are less successful than our competitors in consistently developing innovative products
and/or processes, we may be placed at a competitive disadvantage and may not be able to recover some or all of our investments and costs, which
could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition and ability to fully implement our corporate strategy.
• Intellectual Property: We own intellectual property that is important to our business and product portfolio. Our intellectual property is an important
factor in protecting our innovation activities and maintaining our competitive advantage. From time to time, our intellectual property rights may be
challenged, including through the assertion of intellectual property infringement claims which could result in us: being prevented from selling certain
products; having to license the infringed product/technology; and/or incurring monetary damages. The foregoing consequences could have an
adverse effect on our sales, profitability and ability to fully implement our corporate strategy.
• Investments in Technology Companies: In addition to our development activities, we have invested in various technology companies and funds
that invest in such companies. Such investments are an important element of our long-term strategy and we may make further investments in such
companies. Investing in such companies involves a high degree of risk, including the potential loss of some or all of our investment value. There is
currently no public market for the shares or units of some of these investments and, as a result, we may be unable to monetize such investments in
the future. Investments in companies or funds which are currently or subsequently become publicly traded are marked-to-market quarterly, which
may result in us recording unrealized gains or losses in any given quarter. The realization of any of the foregoing investment-related risks could have
an adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition.
• Evolving Business Risk Profile: The risk profile of our business continues to evolve with the increasing importance to us of product areas such as
electrified powertrains, ADAS and electronics, as well as future mobility business models. As our business evolves, we may face new or heightened
risks, including: forecasting and planning risks related to penetration rates of EVs, as well as take-rates for ADAS systems or features offered to
consumers as optional items; reduction in demand for certain products which are unique to internal combustion engine vehicles; challenges in
quoting for profitable returns on products with leading-edge technologies for which we may not have significant quoting experience; rigorous testing
and validation requirements from OEM customers for complex new products; increased warranty and recall risks on new products and leading-edge
technologies; increased product liability risks; heightened risk of technological obsolescence of some of our products, processes and/or assets;
and difficulties in attracting or retaining employees with critical skills in high-demand areas. Realization of one or more such risks could have a
material adverse effect on our operations, profitability or financial condition.
• Risks of Doing Business in Foreign Markets: The establishment of manufacturing operations in new markets carries a number of potential risks,
including those relating to: political, civil and economic instability and uncertainty; corruption risks; high inflation and our ability to recover inflation-
related cost increases; trade, customs and tax risks; potential sanctions risk; expropriation risks; currency exchange rates; currency controls;
limitations on the repatriation of funds; insufficient infrastructure; competition to attract and retain qualified employees; and other risks associated
with conducting business internationally. Expansion of our business in non-traditional markets is an element of our long-term strategy and, as a

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC. 27


result, our exposure to the risks described above may be greater in the future. The likelihood of such occurrences and their potential effect on us
vary from country to country and are unpredictable, however, the occurrence of any such risks could have an adverse effect on our operations,
profitability and financial condition.
• Relative Foreign Exchange Rates: Our profitability is affected by movements of our U.S. dollar reporting currency against the Canadian dollar,
the euro, the Chinese renminbi and other currencies in which we generate revenues and incur expenses. Significant long-term fluctuations in relative
currency values, in particular a significant change in the relative values of the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, euro or Chinese renminbi, could have an
adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition and any sustained change in such relative currency values could adversely impact our
competitiveness in certain geographic regions.
• Financial Flexibility: The occurrence of an economic shock not contemplated in our business plan, a rapid deterioration of conditions or a
prolonged recession could result in the depletion of our cash resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial
condition.
• Credit Ratings Changes: There is no assurance that any credit rating currently assigned to us will remain in effect for any period of time or that
any rating will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in the future. A downgrade in the credit ratings assigned to us by one or more
agencies could increase our cost of borrowing or impact our ability to negotiate loans, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability,
financial condition and the trading price of our Common Shares.
LEGAL, REGULATORY AND OTHER RISKS
• Legal and Regulatory Proceedings: From time to time, we 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. Depending on the nature
or duration of any potential proceedings or claims, we may incur substantial costs and expenses, be required to devote significant management
time and resources to the matters, and suffer reputational damage as a result of regulatory proceedings. On an ongoing basis, we attempt to assess
the likelihood of any adverse judgements or outcomes to these proceedings or claims, although it is difficult to predict final outcomes with any
degree of certainty. Except as disclosed from time to time in our consolidated financial statements and/or our MD&A, we do not believe that any of
the proceedings or claims to which we are currently a party will have a material adverse effect on our profitability; however, we cannot provide any
assurance to this effect.
• Changes in Laws: A significant change in the current regulatory environment in our principal markets, including changes in tax laws, laws related
to the COVID-19 pandemic, laws related to vehicle emissions, and other laws which impose additional costs on automotive manufacturers or
consumers, could have an adverse effect on our profitability.

28 ANNUAL REPORT 2021


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Magna International Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Magna International Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31,
2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years
in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 3, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion


These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included
performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter


The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or
required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and
(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our
opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion
on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Sales – Contracts with customers to provide assembled vehicles – Refer to Note 1 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s complete vehicle assembly contracts with customers are complex and often include promises to transfer multiple products and
services to a customer. For these complex arrangements, each good or service is evaluated to determine whether it represents a distinct performance
obligation, and whether it should be characterized as revenue or reimbursement of costs incurred. The total transaction price is then allocated to the
distinct performance obligations based on the expected cost plus a margin approach and recognized as revenue.
There are many promises included in new or modified complete vehicle assembly contracts with customers that required management’s judgment to
determine the appropriate accounting treatment. The judgments with the highest degree of subjectivity relate to the determination of whether to
combine contracts, the determination of whether performance obligations are considered distinct, the allocation of the transaction price to each
distinct performance obligation, and the determination of revenue recognition. Auditing these judgments required a high degree of subjectivity and an
increased extent of audit effort, including the need to involve accounting specialists with expertise in revenue recognition.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit


Our audit procedures related to the appropriateness of the accounting treatment of new or modified complete vehicle assembly contracts with
customers included the following, among others:
• Evaluated the effectiveness of controls over new or modified complete vehicle assembly contracts, specifically relating to the combination of
contracts, the identification of performance obligations, the allocation of the transaction price, and the determination of revenue recognition.
• With the assistance of accounting specialists:
· Assessed the information in the complete vehicle assembly contracts to understand and evaluate that all components were identified.
· Evaluated management’s judgments related to the accounting treatment by analyzing it against various aspects of GAAP, including conceptual
framework and interpretive guidance.

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC. 29


• To the extent each new and modified assembly contract during the year did not present a single performance obligation, tested the allocation of the
transaction price to each performance obligation by evaluating management’s determination of a cost plus a margin approach.

30 ANNUAL REPORT 2021


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Magna International Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Magna International Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021,
based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 of the Company and our report dated March 3, 2022, expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion


The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting
firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws
and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting


A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts
and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

[All amounts in U.S. dollars and all tabular amounts in millions, except per share figures, unless otherwise noted]
1 . S I G N I F I CA N T AC C O U N T I N G P O L I C I E S
Magna International Inc. [collectively “Magna” or the “Company”] is a global supplier in the automotive space. Our systems approach to design,
engineering and manufacturing touches nearly every aspect of the vehicle, including body and chassis structures, exterior systems and modules, trim
and engineered glass, active aerodynamics, energy storage systems, electrified and conventional powertrain technologies, powertrain subsystems
and components, ADAS and automated driving, control modules, mechatronics, mirrors and overhead consoles, lighting, complete seats, seating
structural products, seat foam and seat trim. We also have complete vehicle engineering and contract manufacturing expertise.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars following accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
[“GAAP”].
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
Principles of consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Magna and its subsidiaries in which Magna has a controlling financial interest and is
the primary beneficiary. The Company presents non-controlling interests as a separate component within Shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of estimates

The preparation of the 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. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Foreign currency translation

The Company operates globally, which gives rise to a risk that its earnings and cash flows may be adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates.
Assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using the
exchange rate in effect at year end, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate during the year. Exchange gains or losses on
translation of the Company’s net investment in these operations are included in comprehensive income and are deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive loss. Foreign exchange gains or losses on debt that was designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in these operations
are also recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Foreign exchange gains and losses on transactions occurring in a currency other than an operation’s functional currency are reflected in net income,
except for gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts used to hedge specific future commitments in foreign currencies and on intercompany
balances which are designated as long-term investments. In particular, the Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts for the sole purpose of
hedging certain of the Company’s future committed foreign currency based outflows and inflows. Most of the Company’s foreign exchange contracts
are subject to master netting arrangements that provide for the net settlement of contracts, by counterparty, in the event of default or termination. All
derivative instruments, including foreign exchange contracts, are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The fair values of derivatives
are recorded on a gross basis in prepaid expenses and other, other assets, other accrued liabilities or other long-term liabilities. To the extent that
derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the changes in their fair values are recorded in other comprehensive income.
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized immediately in net income based on the
nature of the underlying transaction. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive loss or income are reclassified to net income in the period in which
the hedged item affects net income.
If the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts cease to be effective as hedges, for example if projected foreign cash inflows or outflows
declined significantly, gains or losses pertaining to the portion of the hedging transactions in excess of projected foreign currency denominated cash
flows would be recognized in net income at the time this condition was identified.
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on account, demand deposits and short-term investments with remaining maturities of less than three months
at acquisition.
Inventories

Production inventories and tooling inventories manufactured in-house are valued at the lower of cost determined substantially on a first-in, first-out
basis, or net realizable value. Cost includes the cost of materials plus direct labour applied to the product and the applicable share of manufacturing
overhead.

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC. 37


Investments

The Company accounts for investments in companies over which it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not hold a controlling
financial interest, under the equity method [“Equity method investments”]. The Company monitors its Equity method investments for indicators of
other-than-temporary declines in value on an ongoing basis. If the Company determines that an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred,
it recognizes an impairment loss, which is measured as the difference between the book value and the fair value of the investment. Fair value is
generally determined using an income approach based on discounted cash flows. The inputs utilized in the analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs
within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” and primarily consist of expected investee revenue and costs,
estimated production volumes and discount rates.

The Company also has investments in private and publicly traded technology companies over which it does not have the ability to exercise significant
influence. The Company has elected to use the measurement alternative, defined as cost, less impairments, adjusted by observable price changes to
measure the private equity investments. The Company values its investments in publicly traded equity securities using the closing price on the
measurement date, as reported on the stock exchange on which the securities are traded.
Private equity investments are subject to impairment reviews which considers both qualitative and quantitative factors that may have a significant
impact on the investee’s fair value. Upon determining that an impairment may exist, the security’s fair value is calculated using the best information
available, which may include cash flow projections or other available market data and compared to its carrying value. An impairment is recognized
immediately if the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Long-lived assets

Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of fixed assets at annual
rates of 21∕2% to 5% for buildings, 7% to 10% for general purpose equipment and 10% to 33% for special purpose equipment.
Finite-lived intangible assets, which have arisen principally through acquisitions, include customer relationship intangibles and patents and licences.
These finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which range from 4 to 15 years.
The Company assesses fixed and finite-lived intangible assets for recoverability whenever indicators of impairment exist. If the carrying value of the
asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows from the use of the asset, then an impairment loss is recognized to write the asset down to fair
value. The fair value of fixed and finite-lived intangible assets is generally determined using estimated discounted future cash flows.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired enterprise over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed less
any subsequent write-downs for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of
potential impairment exist. Goodwill impairment is assessed based on a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to the underlying carrying value
of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment is recognized
based on that difference. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using its estimated discounted future cash flows.
Tooling and Pre-Production Engineering Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Agreements

The Company incurs pre-production engineering and tooling costs related to the products produced for its customers under long-term supply
agreements. Customer reimbursements for tooling and pre-production engineering activities that are part of a long-term supply arrangement are
accounted for as a reduction of cost. Pre-production costs related to long-term supply arrangements with a contractual guarantee for reimbursement
and capitalized tooling are included in Other assets.
The Company expenses all pre-production engineering costs for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer. All tooling
costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the Company does not
have a non-cancelable right to use the tooling are also expensed.
Warranty

The Company has assurance warranties and records product warranty liabilities based on its individual customer agreements. Under most customer
agreements, the Company only accounts for existing or probable claims on product default issues when amounts related to such issues are probable
and reasonably estimable. 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. Judgement is also required as to the ultimate negotiated sharing of the cost between the
Company, the customer and, in some cases, a supplier to the Company.
When a decision to recall a product has been made or is probable, the Company’s portion of the estimated cost of the recall is recorded as a charge
to net income in that period. The Company monitors warranty activity on an ongoing basis and adjusts reserve balances when it is probable that future
warranty costs will be different than those previously estimated.

38 ANNUAL REPORT 2021


Income taxes

The Company uses the liability method of tax allocation to account for income taxes. Under the liability method of tax allocation, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the
enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company assesses whether valuation allowances
should be established or maintained against its deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence using a “more-likely-than-not”
standard. The factors the Company uses to assess the likelihood of realization are its history of losses, forecasts of future pre-tax income and tax
planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets.
No deferred tax liability is recorded for taxes on undistributed earnings and translation adjustments of foreign subsidiaries if these items are considered
to be reinvested for the foreseeable future. Taxes are recorded on such foreign undistributed earnings and translation adjustments when it becomes
apparent that such earnings will be distributed in the foreseeable future and the Company will incur further tax on remittance.
Recognition of uncertain tax positions is dependent on whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination,
including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-
likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are considered
short-term and are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes operating lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over
the lease term.
Operating lease right-of-use [“ROU”] assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over
the lease term at the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company’s operating leases, an
incremental borrowing rate is generally used to determine the present value of future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate for each lease is
based on the Company’s estimated borrowing rate over a similar term to that of the lease payments, adjusted for various factors including
collateralization, location and currency.
A majority of the Company’s leases for manufacturing facilities are subject to variable lease-related payments, such as escalation clauses based on
consumer price index rates or other similar indices. Variable payments that are based on an index or a rate are included in the recognition of the
Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities using the index or rate at lease commencement. Subsequent changes to these lease payments due to rate
or index updates are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred.
The Company’s lease agreements generally exclude non-lease components, and do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material
restrictive covenants.
Employee future benefit plans

The cost of providing benefits through defined benefit pensions, lump sum termination and long-term service payment arrangements, and post-
retirement benefits other than pensions is actuarially determined and recognized in income using the projected benefit method pro-rated on service
and management’s best estimate of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation, retirement ages of employees and, with respect to
medical benefits, expected health care costs. Differences arising from plan amendments, changes in assumptions and experience gains and losses
that are greater than 10% of the greater of: [i] the accrued benefit obligation at the beginning of the year; and [ii] the fair value [or market related value]
of plan assets at the beginning of the year, are recognized in income over the expected average remaining service life of employees. Plan assets are
valued at fair value. The cost of providing benefits through defined contribution pension plans is charged to income in the period in respect of which
contributions become payable.
The funded status of the plans is measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the projected benefit obligation [“PBO”]. The
aggregate of all overfunded plans is recorded in other assets, and the aggregate of all underfunded plans is recorded in long-term employee benefit
liabilities. The portion of the amount by which the actuarial present value of benefits included in the PBO exceeds the fair value of plan assets, payable
in the next twelve months, is reflected in other accrued liabilities.
Revenue recognition

The Company enters into contracts with its customers to provide production parts or assembled vehicles. Contracts do not commit the customer to a
specified quantity of products; however, the Company is generally required to fulfill its customers’ purchasing requirements for the production life of the
vehicle. Contracts do not typically become a performance obligation until the Company receives a purchase order and a customer release for a specific
number of parts or assembled vehicles at a specified price. While long-term supply agreements may range from five to seven years, contracts may be
terminated by customers at any time. Historically, terminations have been minimal. Contracts may also provide for annual price reductions over the
production life of the vehicle, and prices are adjusted on an ongoing basis to reflect changes in product content/cost and other commercial factors.
Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the parts produced or assembled vehicles are transferred to the customer according to the
terms of the contract. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC. 39


products based on purchase orders and ongoing price adjustments [some of which is accounted for as variable consideration]. The Company uses the
expected value method, taking into account historical data and the status of current negotiations, to estimate the amount to which it expects to be
entitled. Significant changes to the Company’s estimates of variable consideration are not expected.

The Company’s complete vehicle assembly contracts with customers are complex and often include promises to transfer multiple products and
services, some of which may be implicitly contracted for. For these arrangements, each good or service is evaluated to determine whether it represents
a distinct performance obligation, and whether it should be characterized as revenue or reimbursement of costs incurred. The total transaction price is
then allocated to the distinct performance obligations based on the expected cost plus a margin approach and amounts related to revenue are
recognized as discussed above.
The Company also performs tooling and engineering activities for its customers that are not part of a long-term production arrangement. Tooling and
engineering revenue is recognized at a point in time or over time depending, among other considerations, on whether the Company has an enforceable
right to payment plus a reasonable profit, for performance completed to date. Over-time recognition utilizes costs incurred to date relative to total
estimated costs at completion, to measure progress toward satisfying performance obligations. Revenue is recognized as control is transferred to
customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. For the year
ended December 31, 2021, total tooling and engineering sales were $783 million [2020 – $739 million].
The Company’s customers pay for products received in accordance with payment terms that are customary in the industry, typically 30 to 90 days. The
Company’s contracts with its customers do not have significant financing components.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on, and concurrent with, a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected
by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s contract assets relate to the right to consideration for work completed but not yet billed and are included in Accounts Receivable.
Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. As at December 31, 2021, the Company’s unbilled accounts receivable balance was $528 million
[2020 – $425 million]. Contract assets do not include the costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract with a customer, as these amounts are generally
expensed as incurred.

Customer advances are recorded as deferred revenue [a contract liability]. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the contract liability
balances were $273 million and $214 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $140 million
and $81 million, respectively, of previously recorded contract liabilities into revenue as performance obligations were satisfied.

Government assistance

The Company makes periodic applications for financial assistance under available government assistance programs in the various jurisdictions that
the Company operates. Grants relating to capital expenditures are reflected as a reduction of the cost of the related assets. Grants relating to current
operating expenditures may be deferred and recognized in the consolidated statement of 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. The Company also receives tax credits and tax
super allowances, the benefits of which are recorded as a reduction of income tax expense. In addition, the Company receives loans which are
recorded as liabilities in amounts equal to the cash received. When a government loan is issued to the Company at a below-market rate of interest, the
loan is initially recorded at its net present value and accreted to its face value over the period of the loan. The benefit of the below-market rate of interest
is accounted for similar to a government grant and is measured as the difference between the initial carrying value of the loan and the cash proceeds
received.
Research and development

Costs incurred in connection with research and development activities, to the extent not recoverable from the Company’s customers, are charged to
expense as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, research and development costs charged to expense were $634 million and
$830 million, respectively.
Restructuring

Restructuring costs may include employee termination benefits, as well as other 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 liabilities are determined to be probable and estimable. Additional elements of severance
and termination benefits associated with nonrecurring benefits may be recognized rateably over each employee’s required future service period. All
other restructuring costs are expensed as incurred.
Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per Common Share are calculated on net income attributable to Magna International Inc. using the weighted average number of
Common Shares outstanding during the year.

40 ANNUAL REPORT 2021


Diluted earnings per Common Share are calculated on the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding, including an adjustment for
stock options outstanding using the treasury stock method.

Common Shares that have not been released under the Company’s restricted stock plan or are being held in trust for purposes of the Company’s
restricted stock unit program have been excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share, but have been included in the calculation of diluted
earnings per share.

On March 1, 2021, substantially all of the assets of the Company’s European joint venture with Ford Motor Company [“Ford”], GFT, were distributed to
either Ford or the Company, which resulted in the Company recording an $18 million gain [note 2]. As part of the distribution, the Company received
GFT’s non-controlling interest in a Chinese joint venture controlled by the Company, a facility in Europe and net cash of $94 million.

On January 1, 2021, the Company acquired a 65% equity interest and a controlling financial interest in Hongli, a China-based supplier of seat
structures and related systems. The acquisition included an additional 15% equity interest in two entities that were previously equity accounted for by
the Company. On the change in basis of accounting, the Company recognized a $22 million gain [note 2]. The total purchase price was $95 million [net
of $17 million cash acquired]. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $90 million, intangible assets of $53 million and debt of
$45 million.

During 2020, the governing documents related to GJT were revised to extend the term of the venture and grant additional rights to the Company,
resulting in a controlling financial interest. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $239 million disposition of its equity method investment and began
consolidating the entity on December 29, 2020. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination which primarily resulted in the recognition
of cash of $98 million, fixed assets of $211 million, minority interest of $122 million and other net assets of $52 million. The change in the method of
accounting for the entity did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations.

The difference between the purchase price of the Company’s investment in LME and its proportionate share of the fair value of LME’s net
assets created a basis difference of $188 million, which has been allocated on a preliminary basis as follows:

Equity method goodwill $118


Intangible assets 47
Fixed assets 47
Deferred tax liabilities (24)
Total basis difference included in equity method investments $188

The basis differences for intangible and fixed assets are being amortized over an average estimated useful life of 8 years.

[ii] The Company accounts for its investments under the equity method of accounting as a result of significant participating rights that prevent
control.

[b] In October 2020, the Company signed agreements with Fisker Inc. [“Fisker”] for the platform sharing, engineering and manufacturing of the Fisker
Ocean SUV. In connection with the arrangement, Fisker issued approximately 19.5 million penny warrants to the Company to purchase common
stock, which vest based on specified milestones. During 2021, two third of the warrants vested with a value of $201 million. The initial value
attributable to the warrants was deferred within other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities and is being recognized in income as
performance obligations are satisfied.

Cumulative unrealized gains on equity securities were $63 million and $65 million as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

A summary of the total financial results, as reported by the Company’s equity method investees, in the aggregate, at December 31 was as follows:

[f] Deferred income taxes have not been provided on $4.9 billion of undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, as the Company has
concluded that such earnings should not give rise to additional tax liabilities upon repatriation or are indefinitely reinvested. A determination of the
amount of the unrecognized tax liability relating to the remittance of such undistributed earnings is not practicable.

[g] Income taxes paid in cash [net of refunds] were $341 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 [2020 – $336 million].

[h] As of December 31, 2021, the Company had domestic and foreign operating loss carryforwards of $3.0 billion and tax credit carryforwards of
$84 million. Approximately $1.9 billion of the operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely. The remaining operating losses and tax credit
carryforwards expire between 2022 and 2041.

[i] As at December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits were $142 million and $182 million, respectively [excluding
interest and penalties], of which $126 million and $165 million, respectively, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The gross
unrecognized tax benefits differ from the amount that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate due primarily to the impact of the valuation
allowance on deferred tax assets. A summary of the changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

2021 2020

Balance, beginning of year $ 182 $ 192


Increase based on tax positions related to current year 11 27
Increase based on tax positions of prior years 2 –
Increase related to acquisitions – 11
Settlements (5) (1)
Foreign currency translation (5) 5
Statute expirations (43) (52)
$ 142 $ 182

As at December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had recorded interest and penalties on the unrecognized tax benefits of $26 million and
$43 million, respectively, which reflects a decrease of $17 and $3 million in expenses related to changes in its reserves for interest and penalties in
2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions, and its tax returns are periodically audited or subject to review by both domestic and foreign tax
authorities. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that, as a result of audit settlements, the conclusion of current examinations or
the expiration of the statute of limitations in several jurisdictions, the Company may decrease the amount of its gross unrecognized tax benefits
[including interest and penalties] by approximately $73 million, of which $66 million, if recognized, would affect its effective tax rate.

The Company considers its significant tax jurisdictions to include Canada, the United States, Austria, Germany, Mexico and China. With few
exceptions, the Company remains subject to income tax examination in Germany for years after 2007, China, Mexico and Austria for years after
2015, Canada for years after 2016 and the U.S. federal jurisdiction after 2017.

[c] Derivatives designated as effective hedges, measured at fair value

The Company presents derivatives that are designated as effective hedges at gross fair values in the consolidated balance sheets. However,
master netting and other similar arrangements allow net settlements under certain conditions. The following table shows the Company’s derivative
foreign currency contracts at gross fair value as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and the unrecognized impacts of master netting
arrangements:

Liabilities $ (16) $ (13) $ (3)

[d] 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, 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.

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC. 59


Publicly traded and private equity securities
The fair value of the Company’s investments in publicly traded equity securities is determined using the closing price on the measurement date, as
reported on the stock exchange on which the securities are traded. [Level 1 input based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy.]
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.]
Warrants
The Company estimates the value of its warrants based on the quoted prices in the active market for Fisker’s common shares. [Level 2 inputs
based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy.]
Term debt
The Company’s term debt includes $455 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 December 31, 2021, the net book value of the
Company’s Senior Notes was $3.8 billion and the estimated fair value was $4.0 billion.
[e] Credit risk

The Company’s financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and foreign
exchange and commodity forward contracts with positive fair values.
Cash and cash equivalents, which consist 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 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.
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 year ended December 31, 2021, sales to the Company’s six largest
customers represented 78% [2020 – 78%] of the Company’s total sales; and substantially all of its sales are to customers in which the Company
has ongoing contractual relationships. 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.
[f] Currency risk

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 [note 21[a]].
[g] 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 cash and cash equivalents is impacted more by investment decisions made and the demands
to have available cash on hand, than by movements in 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.
[h] Equity price risk
Public equity securities and warrants
The Company’s public equity securities and warrants are subject to market price risk due to the risk of loss in value that would result from a decline
in the market price of the common shares or underlying common shares.
22. 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

60 ANNUAL REPORT 2021


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 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, had
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. Based on a previously completed global
review of legacy antitrust risks which led to a September 2020 settlement with the European Commission where Magna received full immunity
regarding two separate bilateral cartels involving the supply of closure systems, Magna does not currently anticipate any material liabilities.
However, 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 14].

[a] 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,
net.
The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those set out under “Significant Accounting Policies” [note 1]. All intersegment sales and
transfers are accounted for at fair market value.
