THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014
We posted record sales of $9.46 billion for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 6% over the second quarter of 2013. We achieved this sales increase in a period when vehicle production increased 3% in North America and 2% in Europe, both relative to the second quarter of 2013. In the second quarter of 2014, our North American, European and Asian production sales increased, while Rest of World production sales, complete vehicle assembly sales and tooling, engineering and other sales decreased, in each case relative to the comparable quarter in 2013.
Complete vehicle assembly sales decreased to $793 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $796 million for the second quarter of 2013, while complete vehicle assembly volumes decreased 11% to approximately 34,000 units.
During the second quarter of 2014, income from operations before income taxes was $692 million, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $510 million and diluted earnings per share were $2.32, increases of $149 million, $95 million and $0.54 respectively, each compared to the second quarter of 2013.
During the second quarter ended June 30, 2014, we generated cash from operations of $748 million before changes in operating assets and liabilities, and invested $148 million in operating assets and liabilities.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014
We posted record sales of $18.43 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 6% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. This higher sales level reflected increases in our North American, European and Asian production sales, as well as complete vehicle assembly sales, partially offset by decreases in Rest of World production sales and tooling, engineering and other sales, in each case relative to the first six months of 2013.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, vehicle production increased 4% to 8.6 million units in North America and 6% to 10.5 million units in Europe, each compared to the first six months of 2013.
Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 1% to $1.61 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, while complete vehicle assembly volumes decreased 8% to approximately 70,000 units.

HIGHLIGHTS
North American light vehicle production increased 3% in the second quarter of 2014, compared to the second quarter of 2013, to 4.4 million units. In Europe, light vehicle production increased 2% in the second quarter of 2014 to 5.3 million units.
Our second quarter 2014 sales increased 6% over the second quarter of 2013 to $9.46 billion. Our North American, European and Asian production sales all increased over the comparable quarter, while Rest of World production sales, complete vehicle assembly sales and tooling, engineering and other sales all declined from the second quarter of 2013.
Adjusted EBIT(1) increased 30% to $710 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $547 million in the second quarter of 2013.
- Our North America segment generated Adjusted EBIT of $537 million for the second quarter of 2014. This compared to Adjusted EBIT of $422 million, including $40 million of amortization related to the August 2012 acquisition of Magna E-Car Systems partnership ("E-Car"), for the second quarter of 2013. The E-Car acquisition intangibles were fully amortized at the end of 2013
.
- Our Europe segment reported Adjusted EBIT of $125 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $120 million in the second quarter of 2013. This represents our tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improved Adjusted EBIT in our Europe segment.
- Our Asia segment posted Adjusted EBIT of $42 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $19 million in the comparable quarter. This increase largely reflects the launch of business in existing and recently constructed facilities.
- Our Rest of World segment reported an Adjusted EBIT loss of $11 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to a loss of $17 million in the second quarter of 2013. We continue to focus on reducing operating losses and addressing commercial challenges in South America, the most substantial market in our Rest of World segment.
During the second quarter of 2014, we issued $750 million of 3.625% fixed-rate Senior Notes which mature on June 15, 2024 (the "Senior Notes").
Lastly, during the second quarter of 2014, we repurchased 5.7 million Common Shares for cash consideration of $575 million and subsequent to the second quarter repurchased an additional 1.5 million Common Shares for $161 million pursuant to our outstanding normal course issuer bid that expires in November 2014.

FINANCIAL RESULTS SUMMARY
During the second quarter of 2014, we posted sales of $9.46 billion, an increase of 6% over the second quarter of 2013. This higher sales level was a result of increases in our North American, European and Asian production sales partially offset by lower Rest of World production sales, complete vehicle assembly sales and tooling, engineering and other sales. Comparing the second quarter of 2014 to 2013:
- North American vehicle production increased 3% and our North American production sales increased 10% to $4.75 billion;
- European vehicle production increased 2% and our European production sales increased 4% to $2.66 billion;
- Asian production sales increased 23% to $402 million;
- Rest of World production sales decreased 33% to $163 million;
- Complete vehicle assembly volumes decreased 11% and sales decreased $3 million to $793 million; and
- Tooling, engineering and other sales decreased by 5% to $697 million.
During the second quarter of 2014, we earned income from operations before income taxes of $692 million compared to $543 million for the second quarter of 2013. Excluding other expense, net ("Other Expense") recorded in the second quarter of 2014, as discussed in the "Other Expense" section, the $160 million increase in income from operations before income taxes was primarily as a result of:
- margins earned on higher production sales;
- incremental margin earned on new programs that launched during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2013;
- intangible asset amortization of $40 million, recorded in the second quarter of 2013, related to the acquisition and re-measurement of E-Car;
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities;
- the benefit of restructuring and downsizing activities recently undertaken;
- higher equity income;
- lower warranty costs of $4 million; and
- decreased commodity costs.
These factors were partially offset by:
- higher launch costs, including unanticipated costs at certain interiors facilities;
- approximately $25 million of costs incurred related to a fire at a body and chassis facility in North America;
- operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities;
- a larger amount of employee profit sharing;
- higher incentive compensation;
- increased pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
- a $1 million net decrease in valuation gains in respect of ABCP; and
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2013.
During the second quarter of 2014, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $510 million, an increase of $95 million compared to the second quarter of 2013 and diluted earnings per share increased $0.54 to $2.32 for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $1.78 for the second quarter of 2013. Other Expense, after tax, as discussed in the "Other Expense" section, negatively impacted net income attributable to Magna International Inc. and diluted earnings per share as follows:

Excluding the negative impact of Other Expense, after tax, for the second quarter of 2014 of $10 million, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. for the second quarter of 2014 increased $105 million compared to the second quarter of 2013.
Excluding the $0.05 per share negative impact of Other Expense, after tax, for the second quarter of 2014, diluted earnings per share increased $0.59, as a result of the increase in net income attributable to Magna International Inc. and a decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding was primarily due to the repurchase and cancellation of Common Shares, during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2013, pursuant to our normal course issuer bids partially offset by an increase in the number of diluted options outstanding as a result of an increase in the trading price of our common stock and the issue of Common Shares related to the exercise of stock options.
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 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; consumer confidence levels; interest rates; credit availability; energy and fuel prices; relative currency values; commodities prices; international conflicts; labour relations issues; regulatory requirements; trade agreements; infrastructure; legislative changes; and environmental emissions and safety standards. These factors together with such specific factors as: operational inefficiencies; costs incurred to launch new or takeover business; restructuring, downsizing and other significant non-recurring costs; price reduction pressures from our customers; warranty and recall costs; 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, 2013, and remain substantially unchanged in respect of the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

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 changes in these foreign exchange rates for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 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, foreign exchange gains and losses on revaluation and/or settlement of monetary items denominated in a currency other than an operation's functional currency impact reported results. These gains and losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense.

External Production Sales - North America
External production sales in North America increased 10% or $446 million to $4.75 billion for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $4.30 billion for the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2013, including GM full-size pickups and SUVs, the Jeep Cherokee and the Nissan Rogue.
The launch of new programs was partially offset by:
- a $105 million decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales primarily as a result of the weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar;
- lower production volumes on certain existing programs; and
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2013.
External Production Sales - Europe
External production sales in Europe increased 4% or $102 million to $2.66 billion for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $2.56 billion for the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of:
- a $105 million increase in reported U.S. dollar sales primarily as a result of the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar; and
- the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2013, including the:
- Mercedes-Benz GLA; and
- Range Rover Sport.
These factors were partially offset by:
- a decrease in content on certain programs, including the
- MINI Cooper; and
- Mercedes-Benz C-Class;
- lower production volumes on certain existing programs; and
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2013.
External Production Sales - Asia
External production sales in Asia increased 23% or $74 million to $402 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $328 million for the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of higher production volumes on certain existing programs and the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2013, primarily in China. These factors were partially offset by net customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2013.
External Production Sales - Rest of World
External production sales in Rest of World decreased 33% or $81 million to $163 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $244 million for the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of:
- lower production volumes on certain existing programs; and
- a $27 million decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, including the Argentine peso and Brazilian real.
These factors were partially offset by net customer price increases subsequent to the second quarter of 2013.

The decrease in complete vehicle assembly sales is primarily as a result of a decrease in assembly volumes for the MINI Paceman, which was partially offset by:
- a $39 million 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 the MINI Countryman.
Tooling, Engineering and Other Sales
Tooling, engineering and other sales decreased 5% or $36 million to $697 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $733 million for the second quarter of 2013.
In the second quarter of 2014, the major programs for which we recorded tooling, engineering and other sales were the:

Cost of goods sold increased $361 million to $8.16 billion for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $7.79 billion for the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of:
- higher material, overhead and labour costs associated with the increase in sales, including wage increases at certain operations;
- higher launch costs, including unanticipated costs at certain interiors facilities;
- a net increase in reported U.S. dollar cost of goods sold primarily due to the strengthening of the euro and British pound, both against the U.S. dollar partially offset by the weakening of the Canadian dollar, Argentine peso and Brazilian real, each against the U.S. dollar;
- costs incurred related to a fire at a body and chassis facility in North America; and
- a larger amount of employee profit sharing.
Gross margin increased $141 million to $1.31 billion for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $1.17 billion for the second quarter of 2013 and gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to 13.8% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 13.0% for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales was primarily due to:
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities;
- a decrease in the proportion of complete vehicle assembly sales relative to total sales, which have a higher material content than our consolidated average;
- a decrease in tooling, engineering and other sales that have low or no margins;
- lower warranty costs; and
- decreased commodity costs.
These factors were partially offset by:
- higher launch costs, including unanticipated costs at certain interiors facilities;
- operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities;
- costs incurred related to a fire at a body and chassis facility in North America;
- a larger amount of employee profit sharing; and
- increased pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization costs decreased $37 million to $223 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $260 million for the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of intangible asset amortization of $40 million recorded in the second quarter of 2013 related to the acquisition and re-measurement of E-Car.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A")
SG&A expense as a percentage of sales was 4.6% for the second quarters of 2014 and 2013. SG&A expense increased $23 million to $433 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $410 million for the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of:
- higher labour and other costs to support the growth in sales, including wage increases at certain operations;
- higher incentive compensation;
- an increase in reported U.S. dollar SG&A related to foreign exchange;
- increased costs incurred at new facilities; and
- a $1 million net decrease in valuation gains in respect of ABCP.
Equity Income
Equity income increased $8 million to $57 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $49 million for the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of higher income generated by most of our equity accounted investments.
Other Expense, net
During the second quarter of 2014, we recorded net restructuring charges of $11 million ($10 million after tax) in Europe at our exterior and interior systems operations. We expect full year 2014 restructuring charges to be approximately $75 million.
In addition, during the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, we recorded net restructuring charges of $22 million and $6 million ($20 million and $6 million after tax), respectively, in Europe at our exterior and interior systems operations.
Segment Analysis
Given the differences between the regions in which we operate, our operations are segmented on a geographic basis. Consistent with the above, our internal financial reporting segments key internal operating performance measures between North America, Europe, Asia 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 represents income from operations before income taxes; interest expense, net; and other expense, net.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, we began reporting Asia and Rest of World as separate reporting segments.

Excluded from Adjusted EBIT for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $11 million of net restructuring costs recorded in our Europe segment, as discussed in the "Other Expense" section.
North America
Adjusted EBIT in North America increased $115 million to $537 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $422 million for the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of:
- margins earned on higher production sales;
- intangible asset amortization of $40 million, recorded in the second quarter of 2013, related to the acquisition and re-measurement of E-Car;
- higher equity income;
- lower warranty costs of $3 million; and
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities.
These factors were partially offset by:
- approximately $25 million of costs incurred related to a fire at a body and chassis facility in North America;
- higher launch costs, including unanticipated costs at certain interiors facilities;
- operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities;
- a larger amount of employee profit sharing;
- higher affiliation fees paid to Corporate;
- increased pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities; and
- higher incentive compensation and stock-based compensation.
Europe
Adjusted EBIT in Europe increased $5 million to $125 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $120 million for the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of:
- margins earned on higher production sales;
- lower downsizing costs;
- higher equity income;
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities;
- the benefit of restructuring and downsizing activities recently undertaken;
- decreased commodity costs; and
- lower warranty costs of $2 million.
These factors were partially offset by:
- higher launch costs, including unanticipated costs at certain interiors facilities in the United Kingdom;
- higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
- a larger amount of employee profit sharing;
- higher affiliation fees paid to Corporate; and
- operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities.
Asia
Adjusted EBIT in Asia increased $23 million to $42 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $19 million for the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of:
- margins earned on higher production sales, including margins earned on the launch of new facilities and new programs;
- lower pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
- lower launch costs; and
- higher equity income.
These factors were partially offset by:
- higher affiliation fees paid to Corporate;
- higher incentive compensation; and
- operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities.
Rest of World
Rest of World Adjusted EBIT improved $6 million to a loss of $11 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to a loss of $17 million for the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of:
- the benefit of restructuring and downsizing activities recently undertaken;
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities;
- decreased commodity costs;
- lower affiliation fees paid to Corporate; and
- net customer price increases subsequent to the second quarter of 2013.
These factors were partially offset by:
- higher production costs, including inflationary increases, that we have not been fully successful in passing through to our customers;
- higher launch costs; and
- higher warranty costs of $1 million.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other Adjusted EBIT increased $14 million to $17 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $3 million for the second quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of an increase in affiliation fees earned from our divisions partially offset by a $1 million net decrease in valuation gains in respect of ABCP.
Interest Expense, net
During the second quarter of 2014, we recorded net interest expense of $7 million compared to $4 million for the second quarter of 2013. The $3 million increase is primarily as a result of interest incurred on government debt in Europe and interest expense on the $750 million Senior Notes issued during the second quarter of 2014.
Income from Operations before Income Taxes
Income from operations before income taxes increased $149 million to $692 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $543 million for the second quarter of 2013. Excluding Other Expense, discussed in the "Other Expense" section, income from operations before income taxes for the second quarter of 2014 increased $160 million. The increase in income from operations before income taxes is the result of the increase in Adjusted EBIT partially offset by the increase in net interest expense, as discussed above.

Net income of $510 million for the second quarter of 2014 increased $98 million compared to the second quarter of 2013. Excluding Other Expense, after tax, discussed in the "Other Expense" section, net income increased $108 million. The increase in net income is the result of the increase in income from operations before income taxes partially offset by higher income taxes.

Other Expense, after tax, negatively impacted diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2014 by $0.05 as discussed in the "Other Expense" section. Excluding this amount, diluted earnings per share increased $0.59 as a result of the increase in net income attributable to Magna International Inc. and a decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the second quarter of 2014.
The decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding was primarily due to the repurchase and cancellation of Common Shares, during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2013, pursuant to our normal course issuer bids partially offset by an increase in the number of diluted options outstanding as a result of an increase in the trading price of our common stock and the issue of Common Shares related to the exercise of stock options.

Cash flow from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities increased $44 million to $748 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $704 million for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in cash flow from operations was due to the $98 million increase in net income, as discussed above, partially offset by a $54 million decrease in items not involving current cash flows. Items not involving current cash flows are comprised of the following:

Total capitalization increased by $727 million to $10.74 billion at June 30, 2014 compared to $10.01 billion at December 31, 2013 primarily as a result of a $725 million increase in liabilities ans a $3 million increase in shareholders' equity.
The increase in liabilities relates primarily to long-term debt issued in relation to the $750 million Senior Notes.
The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily as a result of:
- $903 million of net income earned in the first six months of 2014;
- $37 million of shares issued on exercise of stock options; and
- the $18 million net unrealized gain on cash flow hedges.
These factors were partially offset by:
- the $815 million repurchase and cancellation of 8.4 million Common Shares under our normal course issuer bid in the first six months of 2014;
- $167 million of dividends paid during the first six months of 2014; and
- the $12 million net unrealized loss on translation of our net investment in foreign operations.
Cash Resources
During the second quarter of 2014, our cash resources increased by $317 million to $1.76 billion as a result of the cash provided from operating and financing activities and the favourable effect of foreign exchange partially offset by cash used for investing activities, all as discussed above. In addition to our cash resources, at June 30, 2014 we had term and operating lines of credit totalling $2.57 billion of which $2.22 billion was unused and available.
On May 16, 2014, our $2.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing June 20, 2018 was extended to June 20, 2019. The facility includes a $200 million Asian tranche, a $50 million Mexican 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.
During the first quarter of 2014, we filed a short form base shelf prospectus with the Ontario Securities Commission and a corresponding shelf registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on Form F-10. The filings provide for the potential offering in Ontario and the United States of up to an aggregate of $2.00 billion of debt securities from time to time over a 25 month period. During the second quarter of 2014, we issued $750 million of Senior Notes under the filings, as discussed in the "Financing" section.

- the benefit of restructuring and downsizing activities recently undertaken;
- higher equity income;
- decreased commodity costs;
- lower warranty costs of $2 million; and
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities.
These factors were partially offset by:
- higher launch costs, including unanticipated costs at certain interiors facilities in the United Kingdom;
- higher affiliation fees paid to Corporate;
- higher pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities;
- a larger amount of employee profit sharing;
- operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities; and
- increased stock-based compensation.
Asia
Adjusted EBIT in Asia increased $41 million to $71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $30 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily as a result of:
- margins earned on higher production sales, including margins earned on the launch of new facilities and new programs;
- higher equity income; and
- lower pre-operating costs incurred at new facilities.
These factors were partially offset by:
- higher costs incurred in preparation for upcoming launches;
- higher affiliation fees paid to Corporate;
- higher incentive compensation; and
- operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities.
Rest of World
Rest of World Adjusted EBIT improved $4 million to a loss of $24 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a loss of $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily as a result of:
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities;
- the benefit of restructuring and downsizing activities recently undertaken;
- an decrease in reported U.S. dollar EBIT loss due to the weakening of the Brazilian real and Argentine peso, each against the U.S. dollar;
- lower affiliation fees paid to Corporate; and
- net customer price increases subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2013.
These factors were partially offset by:
- higher production costs, including inflationary increases, that we have not been fully successful in passing through to our customers;
- higher costs incurred in preparation for upcoming launches;
- lower equity income;
- increased commodity costs; and
- higher warranty costs of $1 million.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other Adjusted EBIT increased $19 million to $36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily as a result of:
- an increase in affiliation fees earned from our divisions; and
- decreased stock-based compensation.
These factors were partially offset by:
- $10 million of cash received related to the settlement of ABCP between the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada and financial institutions in the first quarter of 2013;
- higher incentive compensation; and
- a $3 million net decrease in valuation gains in respect of ABCP.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2014 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 information" or "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including, but not limited to, statements relating to: implementation of improvement plans in our underperforming operations, and/or restructuring actions; improved future results in South America through actions to address commercial challenges and reduce operational inefficiencies; future purchases of our Common Shares under the Normal Course Issuer Bid; and future issuances of debt securities. 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 impact of economic or political conditions on consumer confidence, consumer demand for vehicles and vehicle production; our ability to successfully launch material new or takeover business; continued underperformance of one or more of our operating Divisions; restructuring, downsizing or other significant non-recurring costs, including in our European business; ongoing pricing pressures, including our ability to offset price concessions demanded by our customers; warranty and recall costs; fines or penalties imposed by antitrust and regulatory authorities, including the German Cartel Office; our ability to grow our business with Asian-based customers; shifts in market share away from our top customers; shifts in market shares among vehicles or vehicle segments, or shifts away from vehicles on which we have significant content; risks of conducting business in foreign markets, including China, India, Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Eastern Europe and other non-traditional markets for us; a prolonged disruption in the supply of components to us from our suppliers; shutdown of our or our customers' or sub-suppliers' production facilities due to a work stoppage or labour dispute; scheduled shutdowns of our customers' production facilities (typically in the third and fourth quarters of each calendar year); our ability to successfully compete with other automotive suppliers; 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; our ability to consistently develop innovative products or processes; impairment charges related to goodwill and long-lived assets; exposure to, and ability to offset, volatile commodities prices; fluctuations in relative currency values; our ability to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions or achieve anticipated synergies; our ability to conduct sufficient due diligence on acquisition targets; risk of production disruptions due to natural disasters; pension liabilities; legal claims and/or regulatory actions against us; 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; changes in credit ratings assigned to us; changes in laws and governmental regulations; costs associated with compliance with environmental laws and regulations; liquidity risks as a result of an unanticipated deterioration of economic conditions; our ability to achieve future investment returns that equal or exceed past returns; the unpredictability of, and fluctuation in, the trading price of our Common Shares; 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.

MAGNA INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
[Unaudited]
[All amounts in U.S. dollars and all tabular amounts in millions unless otherwise noted]
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[a] Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Magna International Inc. and its subsidiaries [collectively "Magna" or the "Company"] have been prepared in United States dollars following United States generally accepted accounting principles ["GAAP"] as further discussed in note 1[b] and the accounting policies as set out in note 1 to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of GAAP for annual financial statements in that they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2013 audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's 2013 Annual Report.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2014 and the results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
[b] Accounting Changes
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 using either of two methods: [i] retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or [ii] retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
[c] Seasonality
The Company's businesses are generally not seasonal. However, the Company's sales and profits are closely related to its automotive customers' vehicle production schedules. The Company's largest North American customers typically halt production for approximately two weeks in July and one week in December. Additionally, many of the Company's customers in Europe typically shutdown vehicle production during portions of August and one week in December.

6. INCOME TAXES
During the first quarter of 2014, the Austrian government enacted legislation abolishing the utilization of foreign losses, where the foreign subsidiary is not a member of the European Union. Furthermore, any foreign losses used by Austrian entities arising in those non European Union subsidiaries are subject to recapture in Austria. As a consequence of this change, the Company recorded a charge to tax expense of $32 million in the first quarter of 2014.

[c] 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, bank indebtedness and accounts payable.
Due to the short period to maturity of the instruments, the carrying values as presented in the interim consolidated balance sheets are reasonable estimates of fair values.
Investments
At June 30, 2014, the Company held Canadian third party asset-backed commercial paper ["ABCP"] with a face value of Cdn$107 million [December 31, 2013 - Cdn$107 million]. The carrying value and estimated fair value of this investment was Cdn$101 million [December 31, 2013 - Cdn$99 million]. As fair value information is not readily determinable for the Company's investment in ABCP, the fair value was based on a valuation technique estimating the fair value from the perspective of a market participant.
At June 30, 2014, the Company held available-for-sale investments in publicly traded companies. The carrying value and fair value of these investments was $4 million, which was based on the closing share price of the investments on June 30, 2014.
Term debt
The Company's term debt includes $212 million due within one year. Due to the short period to maturity of this debt, the carrying value as presented in the interim consolidated balance sheets is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
Senior Notes
At June 30, 2014, the total estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was approximately $754 million, determined primarily using active market prices, categorized as Level 1 inputs within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.
[d] Credit risk
The Company's financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, held to maturity investments, and foreign exchange forward contracts with positive fair values.
The Company's held for trading investments include an investment in ABCP. Given the continuing uncertainties regarding the value of the underlying assets, the amount and timing over cash flows and the risk of collateral calls in the event that spreads widened considerably, the Company could be exposed to further losses on its investment.
Cash and cash equivalents, which consists of short-term investments, are only invested in governments, 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 governments or any major financial institution.
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 both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, sales to the Company's six largest customers represented 83% of the Company's total sales, and substantially all of the Company's sales are to customers in which it has ongoing contractual relationships.
[e] 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 the Company's cash and cash equivalents is impacted more by the investment decisions made and the demands to have available cash on hand, than by movements in the 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.
[f] Currency risk and foreign exchange contracts
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. 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, or 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 uses foreign exchange forward contracts for the sole purpose of hedging certain of the Company's future committed Canadian dollar, U.S. dollar, euro, British pound and Indian rupee outflows and inflows. All derivative instruments, including foreign exchange contracts, are recorded on the interim consolidated balance sheet at fair value. To the extent that cash flow hedges are effective, the change in their fair value is recorded in other comprehensive income; any ineffective portion is recorded in net income. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to net income in the period in which the hedged item affects net income.
At June 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts representing commitments to buy and sell various foreign currencies. Significant commitments are as follows:
Buys | Sells | ||||||||||||||||||||
For Canadian dollars | |||||||||||||||||||||
U.S. amount | 280 | 1,273 | |||||||||||||||||||

Forward contracts mature at various dates through 2019. Foreign currency exposures are reviewed quarterly.
15. CONTINGENCIES
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.
[a] 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. A trial is not expected to commence until 2015, at the earliest. The Company believes it has valid defences to the plaintiffs' claims and therefore intends to continue to vigorously defend this case. 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] On September 24, 2013, representatives of the Bundeskartellamt, the German Federal Cartel Office [the "Cartel Office"], attended at one of the Company's operating divisions in Germany to obtain information in connection with an ongoing antitrust investigation relating to suppliers of automobile textile coverings and components, particularly trunk linings. Investigations of this nature can continue for several years. Where wrongful conduct is found, the Cartel Office has the authority to impose administrative fines that are calculated in accordance with formula-based guidelines tied to the level of affected sales, the gravity of the infringement, the consolidated sales of the group of companies to which the offending entity belongs, as well as other mitigating and aggravating factors.
The Company's policy is to comply with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. In light of the early stage of the investigation, management is unable to predict its duration or outcome, including whether any operating division of the Company could be found liable for any violation of law or the extent of any fine, if found to be liable. In the event of any such violation, any fines imposed under the Cartel Office guidelines referred to above could have a material adverse effect on Magna's profitability in the year such fine is imposed.
[c] 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 8]; 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.
16. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
Given the differences between the regions in which the Company operates, Magna's operations are segmented on a geographic basis. Consistent with the above, the Company's internal financial reporting separately segments key internal operating performance measures between North America, Europe, Asia 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 represents income from operations before 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] and intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for at fair market value.
