Magna announces Second Quarter and Year to Date Results

AURORA, ON--Aug. 5, 2011:Magna International Inc. (TSX: MG) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

On January 1, 2011, we adopted United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as our primary basis of accounting. All financial information in this press release has been revised to reflect our results as if they had been historically reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

We posted sales of $7.3 billion for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 24% from the second quarter of 2010. We achieved this sales increase in a period when vehicle production increased 2% in Western Europe and was essentially level in North America, both relative to the second quarter of 2010. Our North American, European and Rest of World production sales, complete vehicle assembly sales and tooling and other sales all increased in the second quarter of 2011 relative to the comparable quarter in 2010.

Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 23% to $728 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $590 million for the second quarter of 2010, while complete vehicle assembly volumes increased 57% to approximately 35,000 units.

During the second quarter of 2011, operating income was $362 million, net income was $282 million and diluted earnings per share were $1.15, decreases of $5 million, $12 million and $0.15, respectively, each compared to the second quarter of 2010.

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, we generated cash from operations of $485 million before changes in non-cash operating assets and liabilities, and invested $170 million in non-cash operating assets and liabilities. Total investment activities for the second quarter of 2011 were $285 million, including $226 million in fixed asset additions, $45 million in investments and other assets, and $14 million to purchase subsidiaries.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010

We posted sales of $14.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 29% from the six months ended June 30, 2010. This higher sales level was a result of increases in our North American, European and Rest of World production sales, complete vehicle assembly sales and tooling, engineering and other sales.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, vehicle production increased 8% to 6.5 million units in North America and 6% to 7.3 million units in Western Europe, each compared to the first six months of 2010.

Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 35% to $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010, while complete vehicle assembly volumes increased 70% to approximately 68,500 units.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, operating income was $762 million, net income was $604 million and diluted earnings per share were $2.45, increases of $117 million, $86 million and $0.16, respectively, each compared to the first six months of 2010.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we generated cash from operations before changes in non-cash operating assets and liabilities of $981 million, and invested $778 million in non-cash operating assets and liabilities. Total investment activities for the first six months of 2011 were $484 million, including $370 million in fixed asset additions, a $100 million increase in investments and other assets and $14 million to purchase subsidiaries.

A more detailed discussion of our consolidated financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 is contained in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are attached to this Press Release.

OVERVIEW

We are the most diversified global automotive supplier. We design, develop and manufacture technologically advanced automotive systems, assemblies, modules and components, and engineer and assemble complete vehicles, primarily for sale to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of cars and light trucks. Our capabilities include the design, engineering, testing and manufacture of automotive interior systems; seating systems; closure systems; body and chassis systems; vision systems; electronic systems; exterior systems; powertrain systems; roof systems; hybrid and electric vehicles/systems; as well as complete vehicle engineering and assembly. We follow a corporate policy of functional and operational decentralization, pursuant to which we conduct our operations through divisions, each of which is an autonomous business unit operating within pre-determined guidelines. As at June 30, 2011, we had 269 manufacturing operations and 84 product development, engineering and sales centres in 26 countries.

HIGHLIGHTS

Our second quarter 2011 total sales increased 24% over the second quarter of 2010, despite light vehicle production that was essentially level in North America, and up only 2% in Western Europe, in each case as compared to light vehicle production in the second quarter of 2010. Our North American, European and Rest of World production sales, as well as complete vehicle assembly sales and tooling and other sales, all increased relative to the second quarter of 2010. In particular, production sales in our Rest of World segment increased 48% compared to the second quarter of 2010, reflecting the acquisitions of Resil Minas ("Resil") and Pabsa S.A ("Pabsa") in South America, as well as the continued launch of new business. We continue to expand in a number of regions included in our Rest of World segment, and expect considerable future sales growth in this segment.

Despite the increase in total sales, our operating income decreased $5 million to $362 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to $367 million in the second quarter of 2010. Operational inefficiencies and other costs, in particular at our exteriors and interiors systems business in Europe, higher commodity costs, new facility costs incurred to support our growth around the world, as well as the favourable settlement of certain commercial items during the second quarter of 2010 were the primary factors behind the decrease, more than offsetting the operating income earned on the increased sales in the second quarter of 2011 combined with the net positive impact from the unusual items in the second quarters of 2010 and 2011.

Our top priority continues to be the improvement of our underperforming operations in Europe. Based on our current plans, we expect to see an improvement in operating results, excluding Unusual Items, for both our exteriors and interiors business and our Europe segment in general, in the second half of this year, along with further improvement beyond 2011.

Although investments for new facilities around the world negatively impact earnings in the short term, such investments are expected to result in future growth in sales and earnings.

Werecently signed a contract with BMW Group for the development and assembly of the MINI Paceman. The MINI Paceman represents the second new vehicle program produced by Magna Steyr for MINI, and will be produced on the same assembly line as the MINI Countryman.

FINANCIAL RESULTS SUMMARY

During the second quarter of 2011 we posted sales of $7.3 billion, an increase of 24% from the second quarter of 2010. This higher sales level was a result of increases in our North American, European and Rest of World production sales, Complete vehicle assembly sales and tooling, engineering and other sales. Comparing the second quarters of 2011 to 2010:

• North American vehicle production was essentially unchanged while our North American production sales increased 20%;
• Western European vehicle production increased 2% and our European production sales increased 32%;
• Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 23% to $728 million, as complete vehicle assembly volumes increased 57%;
• Rest of World production sales increased 48% to $335 million; and
• Tooling, engineering and other sales increased 14% to $484 million.

During the second quarter of 2011, we earned operating income of $362 million compared to $367 million for the second quarter of 2010. Excluding the unusual items recorded in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, as discussed in the "Unusual Items" section, the $39 million decrease in operating income was primarily as a result of:

• operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities, in particular at certain exteriors and interiors systems facilities in Europe;
• favourable settlement of certain commercial items in the second quarter of 2010;
• increased commodity costs;
• pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
• higher costs related to launches in our components business;
• higher employee profit sharing;
• recovery, in the second quarter of 2010, of receivables previously provided for;
• costs related to the integration of acquisitions completed during the second quarter of 2011; and
• net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2010.

These factors were partially offset by:

• increased margins earned on significantly higher production sales;
• incremental margin earned on new programs that launched during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2010;
• lower costs incurred related to launches at our complete vehicle assembly operations;
• lower incentive compensation;
• productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities; and
• the recovery of previously expensed engineering and design costs.

During the second quarter of 2011, net income decreased $12 million to $282 million compared to $294 million for the second quarter of 2010. Excluding the unusual items recorded in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, as discussed in the "Unusual Items" section, net income for the second quarter of 2011 decreased $43 million. The decrease in net income was a result of the decrease in operating income and higher income taxes primarily as a result of an increase in losses not benefitted.

During the second quarter of 2011, our diluted earnings per share decreased by $0.15 to $1.15 compared to $1.30 for the second quarter of 2010. Excluding the unusual items recorded in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, as discussed in the "Unusual Items" section, diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2011 decreased by $0.28. The decrease in diluted earnings per share is a result of the decrease in net income and an increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding. The increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding was due to the net issue of shares during 2010 related primarily to the plan of arrangement completed August 31, 2010 ("the Arrangement") that eliminated our dual-class share structure and an increase in the number of diluted shares associated with stock options and restricted stock partially offset by the effect of the repurchase and cancellation of Common Shares pursuant to our normal course issuer bid.

UNUSUAL ITEMS

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded certain unusual items as follows:

INDUSTRY TRENDS AND RISKS

Our success is primarily dependent upon the levels of North American and European car and light truck production by our customers and the relative amount of content we have on the various programs. OEM production volumes in different regions may be impacted by factors which may vary from one region to the next, including but not limited to general economic and political conditions, interest rates, credit availability, energy and fuel prices, international conflicts, labour relations issues, regulatory requirements, trade agreements, infrastructure, legislative changes, and environmental emissions and safety issues. These factors and a number of other economic, industry and risk factors which also affect our success, including such things as relative currency values, commodities prices, price reduction pressures from our customers, the financial condition of our supply base and competition from manufacturers with operations in low cost countries, are discussed in our Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 40-F, each in respect of the year ended December 31, 2010, and remain substantially unchanged in respect of the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Average Foreign Exchange

The preceding table reflects the average foreign exchange rates between the most common currencies in which we conduct business and our U.S. dollar reporting currency. The significant changes in these foreign exchange rates for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 impacted the reported U.S. dollar amounts of our sales, expenses and income.

The results of operations whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in the table above for the relevant period. Throughout this MD&A, reference is made to the impact of translation of foreign operations on reported U.S. dollar amounts where relevant.

Our results can also be affected by the impact of movements in exchange rates on foreign currency transactions (such as raw material purchases or sales denominated in foreign currencies). However, as a result of hedging programs employed by us, foreign currency transactions in the current period have not been fully impacted by movements in exchange rates. We record foreign currency transactions at the hedged rate where applicable.

Finally, holding gains and losses on foreign currency denominated monetary items, which are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, impact reported results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

Sales

External Production Sales - North America

External production sales in North America increased 20% or $0.6 billion to $3.5 billion for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $2.9 billion for the second quarter of 2010. The increase in external production sales is primarily as a result of:

• the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2010, including the:
• Jeep Grand Cherokee;
• BMW X3;
• Chevrolet Cruze;
• Dodge Durango;
• Ford Explorer cross utility vehicle ("CUV");
• Chevrolet Equinox; and
• Ford Fiesta;
• an increase in reported U.S. dollar sales due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar;
• an increase in production volumes on certain existing programs; and
• an increase in content on certain programs, including the Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country and Volkswagen Routan.

These factors were partially offset by:

• programs that ended production during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2010, including the:
• Mercury brand vehicles; and
• Ford Explorer sports utility vehicle ("SUV"); and
• net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2010.

External Production Sales - Europe

External production sales in Europe increased 32% or $0.55 billion to $2.26 billion for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $1.71 billion for the second quarter of 2010. The increase in external production sales is primarily as a result of:

• the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2010, including the:
• MINI Countryman;
• Audi A1; and
• Volkswagen Touareg;
• an increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar;
• an increase in production volumes on certain existing programs; and
• acquisitions completed subsequent to the second quarter of 2010, including Erhard & Söhne GmbH.

These factors were partially offset by:

• programs that ended production during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2010, including the BMW X3; and
• net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2010.

External Production Sales - Rest of World

External production sales in Rest of World increased 48% or $109 million to $335 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $226 million for the second quarter of 2010. The increase in production sales is primarily as a result of:

• acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2010 including, Resil and Pabsa, which positively impacted sales by $77 million;
• the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2010 in China and Brazil; and
• a $19 million increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the strengthening of foreign currencies, including the Brazilian real and Chinese Renminbi, against the U.S. dollar.

Complete Vehicle Assembly Sales

Under the terms of all our current assembly contracts we are acting as principal and purchased components and systems in assembled vehicles are included in our inventory and cost of goods sold. These costs are reflected on a full-cost basis in the selling price of the final assembled vehicle to the OEM customer. Historically, certain contracts have provided that third party components and systems were held on consignment by us, in which case the selling price to the OEM customer reflected a value-added assembly fee only.

Production levels of the various vehicles assembled by us have an impact on the level of our sales and profitability. Historically, the relative proportion of programs accounted for on a full-cost basis and programs accounted for on a value-added basis, also impacted our level of sales and operating margin percentage, but may not have necessarily affected our overall level of profitability. Assuming no change in total vehicles assembled, a relative increase in the assembly of vehicles accounted for on a full-cost basis had the effect of increasing the level of total sales, however, because purchased components were included in cost of goods sold, profitability as a percentage of total sales was reduced. Conversely, a relative increase in the assembly of vehicles accounted for on a value-added basis had the effect of reducing the level of total sales and increasing profitability as a percentage of total sales.

Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 23% or $138 million to $728 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $590 million for the second quarter of 2010 while assembly volumes increased 57% or 12,843 units.

The increase in complete vehicle assembly sales is primarily as a result of:

• the launch of new assembly programs subsequent to the second quarter of 2010, including the MINI Countryman;
• an increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar; and
• an increase in assembly volumes for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Peugeot RCZ.

These factors were partially offset by:

• the end of production on certain assembly programs at our Magna Steyr facility, including the:
• BMW X3 in the third quarter of 2010; and
• Chrysler 300 and Jeep Grand Cherokee in the second quarter of 2010; and
• a decrease in assembly volumes for the Aston Martin Rapide.

Tooling, Engineering and Other Sales

Tooling, engineering and other sales increased 14% or $61 million to $484 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $423 million for the second quarter of 2010.

In the second quarter of 2011 the major programs for which we recorded tooling, engineering and other sales were the:

• MINI Cooper and Countryman;
• Dodge Journey;
• Skoda Fabia;
• Opel Calibra;
• Chery A6 Coupe;
• Peugeot RCZ;
• BMW X3;
• Chevrolet Camaro; and
• Mercedes-Benz M-Class.

In the second quarter of 2010 the major programs for which we recorded tooling, engineering and other sales were the:

• Ford Fiesta;
• MINI Cooper and Countryman;
• BMW X3;
• Peugeot RCZ;
• Mercedes-Benz M-Class;
• Jeep Grand Cherokee;
• Chery A6;
• Saab 9-5; and
• Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.

In addition, tooling, engineering and other sales increased as a result of the strengthening of the euro and Canadian dollar, each against the U.S. dollar.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased $1.4 billion to $6.5 billion for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $5.1 billion for the second quarter of 2010 and cost of goods sold as a percentage of total sales increased to 88.3% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 86.4% for the second quarter of 2010. The unusual items discussed in the "Unusual Items" section negatively impacted cost of goods sold as a percentage of total sales in the second quarter of 2010 by 0.4%. Excluding unusual items, cost of goods sold as a percentage of total sales increased by 2.3% substantially due to:

• operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities, in particular at certain exteriors and interiors systems facilities in Europe;
• an increase in complete vehicle assembly sales which have a higher material content than our consolidated average;
• favourable settlement of certain commercial items in the second quarter of 2010;
• pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
• increased commodity costs;
• higher costs related to launches in our components business;
• higher employee profit sharing;
• an increase in tooling sales that have low or no margins; and
• net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2010.

These factors were partially offset by:

• increased gross margin earned on significantly higher production sales;
• lower costs incurred related to launches at our complete vehicle assembly operations; and
• productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization costs increased $10 million to $172 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $162 million for the second quarter of 2010. The increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily as a result of:

• an increase in reported U.S. dollar depreciation and amortization due to the strengthening of the euro and Canadian dollar, each against the U.S. dollar; and
• acquisitions completed subsequent to the first quarter of 2010, including Resil and Erhard & Söhne GmbH.

These factors were partially offset by the impairment of certain assets subsequent to the second quarter of 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A")

SG&A expense as a percentage of sales was 4.8% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 5.3% for the second quarter of 2010. The unusual items discussed in the "Unusual Items" section positively impacted SG&A as a percentage of total sales in the second quarter of 2011 by 0.1%. Excluding these unusual items, SG&A as a percentage of total sales decreased by 0.4%.

SG&A expense increased $36 million to $350 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $314 million for the second quarter of 2010. Excluding the unusual items recorded in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 (as discussed in the "Unusual Items" section), SG&A expenses increased by $49 million primarily as a result of:

• an increase in reported U.S. dollar SG&A due to the strengthening of the euro and Canadian dollar, each against the U.S. dollar; and
• higher wages and other costs to support the growth in sales;
• due diligence costs related to completed and/or potential acquisitions;
• acquisitions completed subsequent to the second quarter of 2010, including Resil and Erhard & Söhne GmbH; and
• higher group and divisional incentive compensation.

These factors were partially offset by:

• lower executive compensation; and
• lower stock-based compensation.

Equity Income

Equity income decreased $9 million to $29 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $38 million for the second quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of including our share of the loss in our E-Car Systems partnership in equity loss in the current quarter (see the "Corporate and Other" segment analysis section for additional information) partially offset by higher income from other equity investments.

Segment Analysis

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

Our chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBIT as the measure of segment profit or loss, since we believe Adjusted EBIT is the most appropriate measure of operational profitability or loss for our reporting segments. Adjusted EBIT is calculated as follows:

North America

Adjusted EBIT in North America increased $53 million to $354 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $301 million for the second quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of:

• increased margins earned on significantly higher production sales;
• incremental margin earned on the launch of new facilities and new programs;
• an increase in reported U.S. dollar EBIT due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar;
• higher equity income; and
• productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities.

These factors were partially offset by:

• higher costs incurred in preparation for upcoming launches;
• increased commodity costs;
• higher employee profit sharing;
• costs related to the integration of acquisitions completed during the second quarter of 2011;
• pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
• higher group and divisional incentive compensation;
• higher affiliation fees paid to corporate; and
• net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2010.

Europe

Adjusted EBIT in Europe decreased $96 million to a loss of $13 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to income of $83 million for the second quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of:

• operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities, in particular at certain exteriors and interiors systems facilities;
• favourable settlement of certain commercial items in the second quarter of 2010;
• pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
• higher commodity costs;
• recovery, in the second quarter of 2010, of receivables previously provided for; and
• net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2010.

These factors were partially offset by:

• lower costs incurred related to launches at our complete vehicle assembly operations;
• increased margins earned on higher production sales;
• productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities; and
• higher equity income.

Rest of World

Rest of World Adjusted EBIT decreased $11 million to $14 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $25 million for the second quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of:

• additional infrastructure costs to support future growth in South America, China and India;
• higher commodity costs; and
• net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2010.

These factors were partially offset by:

• increased margins earned on significantly higher production sales;
• lower warranty costs;
• an increase in equity income earned; and
• incremental margin earned on new programs that launched during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2010.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other Adjusted EBIT increased $15 million to a loss of $3 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to a loss of $18 million for the second quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of:

• lower incentive compensation; and
• the recovery of previously expensed engineering and design costs.

In addition, the Adjusted EBIT from our E-Car Systems partnership was unchanged for the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010 as the $7 million increase in development and launch costs was offset by a reduced ownership percentage as a result of the Arrangement.

Interest Income, net

During the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, we did not record any net interest income.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased $5 million to $362 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $367 million for the second quarter of 2010. Excluding the unusual items discussed in the "Unusual Items" section, operating income for the second quarter of 2011 decreased $39 million. The decrease in operating income is the result of the decrease in EBIT (excluding unusual items), as discussed above.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate on operating income was 22.1% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 19.9% for the second quarter of 2010. In the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, income tax rates were impacted by the items discussed in the "Unusual Items" section. Excluding the unusual items, the effective income tax rate increased to 22.7% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 19.4% for the second quarter of 2010. The effective tax rate increased primarily as a result of and an increase in losses not benefitted in Europe and an unfavourable mix of earnings, which were partly offset by the higher utilization of losses in the United States that were previously not benefitted.

Net Income

Net income decreased $12 million to $282 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $294 million for the second quarter of 2010. Excluding the unusual items discussed in the "Unusual Items" section, net income decreased $43 million. The decrease in net income is the result of the decrease in operating income and higher income taxes, both as discussed above.

Earnings per Share

Diluted earnings per share decreased $0.15 to $1.15 for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $1.30 for the second quarter of 2010. Excluding the unusual items discussed in the "Unusual Items" section, diluted earnings per share decreased $0.28 from the second quarter of 2010 as a result of the decrease in net income (excluding unusual items), described above, and by an increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the quarter.

The increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding was primarily due to the net issue of Common Shares during 2010 related to the Arrangement, the issue of Common Shares related to the exercise of stock options and an increase in the number of diluted shares associated with stock options, partially offset by the effect of the repurchase and cancellation of Common Shares pursuant to our normal course issuer bid.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow from Operations

Cash flow from operations before changes in non-cash operating assets and liabilities increased $29 million to $485 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $456 million for the second quarter of 2010. The increase in cash flow from operations was due to a $41 million increase in items not involving current cash flows, partially offset by a $12 million decrease in net income, as discussed above. Items not involving current cash flows are comprised of the following:

Cash invested in non-cash operating assets and liabilities amounted to $170 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to cash generated of $92 million for the second quarter of 2010. The change in non-cash operating assets and liabilities is comprised of the following sources (and uses) of cash:

The decrease in accounts receivable and accounts payable in the second quarter of 2011 was primarily due to a decrease in production activities at the end of the second quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2011. The increase in inventories was primarily due to higher tooling inventory and increased production inventory to support launch activities.

Capital and Investment Spending

Fixed assets, investments and other assets additions

In the second quarter of 2011, we invested $226 million in fixed assets. While investments were made to refurbish or replace assets consumed in the normal course of business and for productivity improvements, a large portion of the investment in the second quarter of 2011 was for manufacturing equipment for programs that will be launching subsequent to the second quarter of 2011. Consistent with our strategy to expand in developing markets, approximately 23% (2010 - 26%) of this investment was in Russia, China, Brazil and India.

In the second quarter of 2011, we invested $31 million in other assets related primarily to fully reimbursable tooling, engineering and capital costs for programs that will be launching subsequent to the second quarter of 2011, as well as investing an additional $14 million in equity accounted investments in Korea.

Proceeds from disposition

On June 3, 2011, we sold our 40% non-controlling interest in an equity accounted investment for proceeds of $151 million and recognized a $10 million gain on the disposition. The remaining $43 million of proceeds include:

• the normal course reimbursement received in respect of planning and engineering costs that were capitalized in prior periods; and
• normal course fixed and other asset disposals.

Financing

During the second quarter of 2011, our Honorary Chairman and Founder, Mr. Stronach, exercised 1,083,333 options on a cashless basis in accordance with the applicable stock option plans. On exercise, cash payments totalling $25 million were made to Mr. Stronach which represented the difference between the aggregate fair market value of the Option Shares based on the closing price of our Common Shares on the TSX on the date of exercise and the aggregate Exercise Price of all such options surrendered.

Cash dividends paid per Common Share were $0.25 for the second quarter of 2011, for a total of $58 million.

Financing Resources

Total capitalization increased by $0.8 billion to $8.9 billion at June 30, 2011 compared to $8.1 billion at December 31, 2010, primarily as a result of the increase in shareholders' equity.

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

• net income earned during the first six months of 2011;
• a $305 million increase in accumulated net unrealized gains on translation of net investment in foreign operations, primarily as a result of the strengthening of the euro, Canadian dollar and British pound, each against the U.S. dollar between December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011; and
• Common Shares issued on the exercise of stock options.

These factors were partially offset by:

• dividends paid during the first six months of 2011; and
• the purchase for cancellation of Common Shares in connection with our normal course issuer bid.

Cash Resources

During the second quarter of 2011, our cash resources increased by $0.17 billion to $1.74 billion as a result of the cash provided from operating activities partially offset by cash used for investing and financing activities, as discussed above. In addition to our cash resources, we had term and operating lines of credit totalling $2.1 billion of which $1.9 billion was unused and available.

On July 8, 2011, we entered into a new four-year revolving credit facility in the amount of $2.25 billion. The facility, which matures on July 8, 2015, replaces a $2.0 billion revolving credit facility that was set to expire on July 31, 2012. The facility includes a $100 million Asian tranche and a tranche for Canada, U.S., and Europe, which is fully transferable between jurisdictions and can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or euros.

Maximum Number of Shares Issuable

The following table presents the maximum number of shares that would be outstanding if all of the outstanding options at August 4, 2011 were exercised:

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Financing

There have been no material changes with respect to the contractual obligations requiring annual payments during the second quarter of 2011 that are outside the ordinary course of our business. Refer to our MD&A included in our 2010 Annual Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

• net customer price concessions subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

External Production Sales - Rest of World

External production sales in Rest of World increased 58% or $238 million to $651 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $413 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of:

• the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2010 in China and Brazil;
• a $33 million increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the strengthening of foreign currencies, including the Brazilian real and Chinese Renminbi, against the U.S. dollar; and
• an increase in production volumes on certain existing programs.

Complete Vehicle Assembly Sales

Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 35% or $0.4 billion to $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010 while assembly volumes increased 70% or 28,174 units.

The increase in complete vehicle assembly sales is primarily as a result of:

• MINI Countryman; and
• Aston Martin Rapide;
• an increase in assembly volumes for the Peugeot RCZ and Mercedes-Benz G-Class; and
• an increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.

These factors were partially offset by the end of production on certain assembly programs at our Magna Steyr facility, including the:

• BMW X3 in the third quarter of 2010; and
• Chrysler 300 and Jeep Grand Cherokee in the second quarter of 2010.

Tooling, Engineering and Other

Segment Analysis

North America

Adjusted EBIT in North America increased $171 million to $738 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $567 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily as a result of:

• increased margins earned on significantly higher production sales;
• incremental margin earned on the launch of new facilities and new programs;
• an increase in reported U.S. dollar EBIT due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar;
• higher equity income; and
• productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities.

These factors were partially offset by:

• higher costs incurred in preparation for upcoming launches;
• higher employee profit sharing;
• increased commodity costs;
• operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities;
• pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
• higher affiliation fees paid to corporate;
• costs related to the integration of acquisitions completed during the second quarter of 2011;
• higher warranty costs;
• higher group and divisional incentive compensation; and
• net customer price concessions subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Europe

Adjusted EBIT in Europe decreased $69 million to $16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $85 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily as a result of:

• operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities, in particular at certain exteriors and interiors systems facilities;
• favourable settlement of certain commercial items in the six months ended June 30, 2010;
• higher commodity costs;
• pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
• recovery, in the six months ended June 30, 2010, of receivables previously provided for; and
• net customer price concessions subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

These factors were partially offset by:

• lower costs incurred related to launches at our complete vehicle assembly operations;
• increased margins earned on significantly higher production sales;
• lower employee profit sharing;
• productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities;
• lower warranty costs; and
• higher equity income.

Rest of World

Rest of World adjusted EBIT decreased $12 million to $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $40 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily as a result :

• additional infrastructure costs to support future growth in South America, China and India;
• higher commodity costs; and
• net customer price concessions subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

These factors were partially offset by:

• increased margins earned on significantly higher production sales;
• an increase in equity income earned;
• incremental margin earned on new programs that launched during or subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2010; and
• lower warranty costs.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other EBIT adjusted EBIT increased $18 million to a loss of $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a loss of $40 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of:

• lower incentive compensation;
• the recovery of previously expensed engineering and design costs; and
• an increase in affiliation fees earned from our divisions.

In addition, the Adjusted EBIT from our E-Car Systems partnership was unchanged for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 as the $14 million increase in development and launch costs was offset by a reduced ownership percentage as a result of the Arrangement.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 19, 2011, we entered into an agreement in principle, subject to regulatory approvals, to sell a non strategic interior systems operation located in Germany, with an effective date of July 3, 2011. The operation has a history of losses which are projected to continue throughout the business planning period.

During the third quarter of 2011, we expect to record a charge of approximately $100 million related to the disposal of the business.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, we may be contingently liable for litigation and other claims.

Refer to note 26 of our 2010 audited consolidated financial statements, which describes these claims.

For a discussion of risk factors relating to legal and other claims against us, refer to "Item 3. Description of the Business - Risk Factors" in our Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 40-F, each in respect of the year ended December 31, 2010.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The previous discussion contains statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including, but not limited to, statements relating to: expansion and future sales growth in the Rest of World segment; and operating results improvement in Europe. The forward-looking information in this MD&A is presented for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements may include financial and other projections, as well as statements regarding our future plans, objectives or economic performance, or the assumptions underlying any of the foregoing, and other statements that are not recitations of historical fact. We use words such as "may", "would", "could", "should", "will", "likely", "expect", "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "plan", "forecast", "outlook", "project", "estimate" and similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events to identify forward-looking statements. Any such 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. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks, assumptions and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and the effects of which can be difficult to predict, including, without limitation: the potential for a slower than anticipated economic recovery or a deterioration of economic conditions; production volume levels; the potential bankruptcy of a major automotive customer; the inability of sub-suppliers to timely accommodate demand for their parts; the impact of the insolvency or bankruptcy of a critical supplier; the highly competitive nature of the automotive parts supply business; a reduction in outsourcing by our customers or the loss of a material production or assembly program; the termination or non-renewal by our customers of any material production purchase order; a shift away from technologies in which we are investing; restructuring, downsizing and/or other significant non-recurring costs; impairment charges related to goodwill, long-lived assets and deferred tax assets; our ability to diversify our sales; shifts in market shares among vehicles or vehicle segments, or shifts away from vehicles on which we have significant content; our ability to shift our manufacturing footprint to take advantage of opportunities in growing markets; risks of conducting business in foreign countries, including China, India, Brazil, Russia and other growing markets; exposure to elevated commodities prices; the impact of potential disruptions in the capital and credit markets; uncertainty with respect to the financial condition of a number of governments, particularly in Europe; fluctuations in relative currency values; our ability to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions; pricing pressures, including our ability to offset price concessions demanded by our customers; warranty and recall costs; our ability to compete successfully in non-automotive businesses in which we pursue opportunities; changes in our mix of earnings between jurisdictions with lower tax rates and those with higher tax rates, as well as our ability to fully benefit tax losses; other potential tax exposures; legal claims against us; work stoppages and labour relations disputes; changes in credit ratings assigned to us; changes in laws and governmental regulations; costs associated with compliance with environmental laws and regulations; our non-controlling interest in Magna E-Car Systems; our ability to recover our initial or any potential subsequent investment(s) in Magna E-Car Systems; risks related to the electric vehicle industry itself; and other factors set out in our Annual Information Form filed with securities commissions in Canada and our annual report on Form 40-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and subsequent filings. In evaluating forward-looking statements, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and readers should specifically consider the various factors which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we do not intend, nor do we undertake any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent information, events, results or circumstances or otherwise.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

13. CONTINGENCIES

[a] In the ordinary course of business activities, the Company may be contingently liable for litigation and claims with customers, suppliers, former employees and other parties. In addition, the Company may be, or could become, liable to incur environmental remediation costs to bring environmental contamination levels back within acceptable legal limits. On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable costs and losses.

A determination of the provision required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analysis of each individual issue. The required provision may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters.

[i] In November 1997, the Company and two of its subsidiaries were sued by KS Centoco Ltd., an Ontario-based steering wheel manufacturer in which the Company has a 23% equity interest, and by Centoco Holdings Limited, the owner of the remaining 77% equity interest in KS Centoco Ltd. In March 1999, the plaintiffs were granted leave to make substantial amendments to the original statement of claim in order to add several new defendants and claim additional remedies, and in February 2006, the plaintiffs further amended their claim to add an additional remedy. The amended statement of claim alleges, among other things:

• breach of fiduciary duty by the Company and two of its subsidiaries;
• breach by the Company of its binding letter of intent with KS Centoco Ltd., including its covenant not to have any interest, directly or indirectly, in any entity that carries on the airbag business in North America, other than through MST Automotive Inc., a company to be 77% owned by Magna and 23% owned by Centoco Holdings Limited;
• the plaintiff's exclusive entitlement to certain airbag technologies in North America pursuant to an exclusive licence agreement, together with an accounting of all revenues and profits resulting from the alleged use by the Company, TRW Inc. ["TRW"] and other unrelated third party automotive supplier defendants of such technology in North America;
• a conspiracy by the Company, TRW and others to deprive KS Centoco Ltd. of the benefits of such airbag technology in North America and to cause Centoco Holdings Limited to sell to TRW its interest in KS Centoco Ltd. in conjunction with the Company's sale to TRW of its interest in MST Automotive GmbH and TEMIC Bayern-Chemie Airbag GmbH; and
• oppression by the defendants.

The plaintiffs are seeking, amongst other things, damages of approximately Cdn$3.5 billion. Document production, completion of undertakings and examinations for discovery are substantially complete, although limited additional examinations for discovery may occur. The trial is not expected to commence until late 2012, at the earliest. The Company believes it has valid defences to the plaintiffs' claims and therefore intends to continue to vigorously defend this case. At this time, notwithstanding the amount of time which has transpired since the claim was filed, these legal proceedings remain at an early stage and, accordingly, it is not possible to predict their outcome.

[b] In certain circumstances, the Company is at risk for warranty costs including product liability and recall costs. Due to the nature of the costs, the Company makes its best estimate of the expected future costs [note 7]; however, the ultimate amount of such costs could be materially different. The Company continues to experience increased customer pressure to assume greater warranty responsibility. Currently, under most customer agreements, the Company only accounts for existing or probable claims. Under certain complete vehicle engineering and assembly contracts, the Company records an estimate of future warranty-related costs based on the terms of the specific customer agreements, and the specific customer's warranty experience.

14. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Given the differences between the regions in which the Company operates, Magna's operations are segmented on a geographic basis between North America, Europe and Rest of World. Consistent with the above, the Company's internal financial reporting segments key internal operating performance measures between North America, Europe and Rest of World for purposes of presentation to the chief operating decision maker to assist in the assessment of operating performance, the allocation of resources, and the long-term strategic direction and future global growth of the Company.

The Company's chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBIT as the measure of segment profit or loss, since management believes Adjusted EBIT is the most appropriate measure of operational profitability or loss for its reporting segments. Adjusted EBIT is calculated as follows:

(iii) EBIT which represents income from operations before income taxes and interest income, net; excluding

(iv) Unusual items, which consist of significant non-operational items such as: restructuring charges generally related to plant closures; impairment charges; gains or losses on disposal of facilities; and other items not reflective of on-going operating profit or loss.

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

The following tables show segment information and Adjusted EBIT for the Company's reporting segments and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBIT to the Company's consolidated income from operations before income taxes.

(i) Corporate and other includes equity loss of $20 million [2010 - $nil] related to the Company's proportionate share of the net loss in the E-Car Systems partnership. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the partnership recorded sales of $20 million [2010 - $3 million], an EBIT loss of $27 million [2010 - $20 million] and had fixed assets of $82 million [2010 - $47 million].

14. Segmented Information (CONTINUED)

(i) Corporate and other includes equity loss of $38 million [2010 - $nil] related to the Company's proportionate share of the net loss in the E-Car Systems partnership. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the partnership recorded sales of $36 million [2010 - $3 million], an EBIT loss of $52 million [2010 - $38 million] and had fixed assets of $82 million [2010 - $47 million].

15. REAL ESTATE ASSETS HELD FOR DISPOSAL

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company determined that a group of corporate real estate assets were non-core and should be held for disposal. As the Company's founder, Mr. Stronach, subsequently expressed an interest in acquiring the properties, independent appraisals were obtained for each property under the oversight of the Board's Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee. Because the appraised fair value of the group of properties was less than their $52 million carrying value, the Company recorded a $9 million impairment charge in the quarter related to this asset group. In May 2011, the Company reached a verbal agreement with Mr. Stronach on the terms of sale for this asset group within the appraised fair value range and on other terms negotiated and recommended by the Committee and approved by all the independent directors. In July, Mr. Stronach confirmed that he would proceed with the purchase of three out of the five properties in the group. The Company's former Co-Chief Executive Officer, Siegfried Wolf, subsequently expressed his interest in acting as a substitute purchaser for the other two properties and, in August, the Company reached an agreement to sell the two properties to Mr. Wolf at the prices and on the terms previously approved by the independent directors.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 19, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement in principle, subject to regulatory approvals, to sell a non-strategic interior systems operation located in Germany, with an effective date of July 3, 2011. The operation has a history of losses which are projected to continue throughout the business planning period.

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company expects to record a charge of approximately $100 million related to the disposal of the business.

17. COMPARATIVE FIGURES

Certain of the comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period's method of presentation.
