 | “Overall, our second quarter operating performance largely met our expectations, despite lower than anticipated volumes on certain key vehicle programs in North America. Our focus remains on factors we can control, including operational excellence, cost reductions, and flawless launches. These efforts, together with ongoing customer commercial discussions are enabling us to substantially maintain our 2024 Adjusted EBIT margin range. Our updated 2026 Outlook reflects customer program updates and a tempered view on mid-term electric vehicle penetration rates, particularly in North America. While we have reduced our sales forecast, we are taking a number of concrete actions to mitigate the sales impacts and continue to expect margin expansion and strong free cash flow growth.” - Swamy Kotagiri, Chief Executive Officer |

2026 OUTLOOK
In the normal course, we do not update the third year of the Outlook we provide in February of each year. However, given the magnitude of the changes that are taking place in the automotive industry and the potential impacts on our business, management prepared a top-level analysis to update our 2026 Outlook provided in February 2024 for projected Sales, Adjusted EBIT Margin, Equity Income, and Capital Spending.
Given the higher-level nature and timing of this analysis, management is not currently able to provide 2026 forecasts with the same granularity as that provided in February 2024, particularly: Sales and Adjusted EBIT margin ranges by Segment for 2026; Megatrend Sales and Adjusted EBIT for the years 2024 to 2026; and 2027 Sales for Battery Enclosures, Powertrain Electrification and ADAS. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the forecasts for these measures provided in our February 2024 Outlook or other Investor presentations.

Our Outlook is intended to provide information about management's current expectations and plans and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although considered reasonable by Magna as of the date of this document, the 2024 and 2026 Outlooks above and the underlying assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from our expectations as set forth herein. The risks identified in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section below represent the primary factors which we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.
Key Drivers of Our Business
Our operating results are primarily dependent on the levels of North American, European, and Chinese car and light truck production by our customers. While we supply systems and components to every major original equipment manufacturer ("OEM"), we do not supply systems and components for every vehicle, nor is the value of our content consistent from one vehicle to the next. As a result, customer and program mix relative to market trends, as well as the value of our content on specific vehicle production programs, are also important drivers of our results.
OEM production volumes are generally aligned with vehicle sales levels and thus affected by changes in such levels. Aside from vehicle sales levels, production volumes are typically impacted by a range of factors, including: labour disruptions; free trade arrangements and tariffs; relative currency values; commodities prices; supply chains and infrastructure; availability and relative cost of skilled labour; regulatory frameworks; and other factors.
Overall vehicle sales levels are significantly affected by changes in consumer confidence levels, which may in turn be impacted by consumer perceptions and general trends related to the job, housing, and stock markets, as well as other macroeconomic and political factors. Other factors which typically impact vehicle sales levels and thus production volumes include: vehicle affordability; interest rates and/or availability of credit; fuel and energy prices; relative currency values; uncertainty as to consumer acceptance of EVs; government subsidies to consumers for the purchase of low- and zero-emission vehicles; and other factors.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION
Effective July 1, 2023, we revised our calculations of Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted diluted earnings per share to exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets. Revenue generated from acquired intangible assets is included within revenue in determining net income attributable to Magna. We believe that excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets from these Non-GAAP measures helps management and investors in understanding our underlying performance and improves comparability between our segmented results of operations and our peers.
The historical presentation of these Non-GAAP measures within this press release has also been updated to reflect the revised calculations.

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.
