'Our second quarter results were largely in line with our expectations, excluding the impairment of our investment in Russia. While we anticipate ongoing industry disruption through at least the remainder of 2022, we expect light vehicle production and our earnings to increase in the second half of the year, compared to the first half. We continue to focus on our go-forward strategy and investing for the future.'- Swamy Kotagiri, Magna's Chief Executive Officer

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022

Sales were $9.4 billion, an increase of 4% over the second quarter of 2021, as global light vehicle production increased 2%, largely driven by a 14% increase in North America.

Adjusted EBIT of $358 million in the second quarter of 2022 decreased 36% from the second quarter of 2021, and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales decreased to 3.8% compared to 6.2%, both largely as a result of higher net production input costs, as well as operating inefficiencies and other costs at a facility in Europe.

(Loss) income from operations before income taxes was $(88) million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $540 million in the second quarter of 2021. Included in loss from operations before income taxes in the second quarter of 2022 were Other expense, net items totaling $426 million, primarily comprised of impairment charges and net unrealized losses related to the revaluation of certain public and private equity securities. Included in income from operations before income taxes in the second quarter of 2021 were Other expense, net items totaling $6 million, comprised of net restructuring costs, partially offset by unrealized gains related to the revaluation of certain public and private equity securities. Excluding Other expense, net from both periods, income from operations before income taxes decreased $208 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Net (loss) income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $(156) million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $424 million for the second quarter of 2021. Included in net (loss) income attributable to Magna International Inc. in the second quarters of 2022 and 2021 were Other expense, net items totaling $399 million and $2 million after tax, respectively. Excluding Other expense, net from both periods, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. decreased $183 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Diluted (loss) earnings per share decreased to $(0.54) in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $1.40 in the second quarter of 2021 and Adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased 41% to $0.83 compared to $1.40.

In the second quarter of 2022, we generated cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $560 million and used $139 million in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities for the second quarter of 2022 included $329 million in fixed asset additions, an $80 million increase in investments, other assets and intangible assets, and $2 million in public and private equity investments.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022

We posted sales of $19.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of 1% from the six months ended June 30, 2021, as global light vehicle production decreased 2%.

Adjusted EBIT decreased to $865 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, largely due to higher net production input costs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, income from operations before income taxes was $332 million, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $208 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.70, decreases of $1.0 billion, $831 million, and $2.72, respectively, each compared to the first six months of 2021.

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