THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025
We posted sales of $10.5 billion for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 2% from the third quarter of 2024. The higher sales largely reflects:
- the launch of new programs;
- the net strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar; and
- 3% higher global light vehicle production.
These factors were partially offset by:
- the end of production of certain programs;
- lower complete vehicle assembly volumes, substantially due to the end of production of the Jaguar I-Pace and E-Pace;
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of 2024; and
- lower production on certain programs.
Adjusted EBIT increased to $613 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $594 million in the third quarter of 2024. This mainly reflects:
- continued productivity and efficiency improvements, including the benefit of our operational excellence initiatives and recent restructuring activities; and
- higher equity income.
These were partially offset by:
- commercial items in the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, which had a net unfavourable impact on a year-over-year basis; and
- higher tariff costs.
Income from operations before income taxes decreased to $473 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $700 million in the third quarter of 2024, which includes Other expense (income), net (2) items and Amortization of acquired intangibles totaling $75 million and ($160) million in the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The most significant item in Other expense (income) in either period was the positive impact of recognizing $196 million of Fisker deferred revenue in the third quarter of 2024 as the associated agreements were cancelled. Excluding Other expense (income), net and Amortization of acquired intangibles from both periods, income from operations before income taxes increased $8 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, largely reflecting the increase in Adjusted EBIT.
Net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $305 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $484 million in the third quarter of 2024. Excluding Other expense (income), net, after tax and Amortization of acquired intangibles from both periods, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. increased $6 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024.
Diluted earnings per share were $1.08 in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $1.68 in the comparable period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.33, compared to $1.28 for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 4%. The increase in adjusted diluted earnings per share reflects the impacts of higher adjusted EBIT and a lower share count resulting from share repurchases over the past 12 months.
In the third quarter of 2025, we generated cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $787 million and $125 million in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities for the third quarter of 2025 included $267 million in fixed asset additions, a $100 million increase in investments, other assets and intangible assets, and $2 million in private equity investments.
| (2) | Other expense (income), net is comprised of restructuring activities, loss (gain) on sales of public equity investments, revaluations of certain public and private equity investments and public company warrants, asset impairments, Fisker Inc. ["Fisker"] related impacts (recognition of previously deferred revenue, restructuring, impairment of Fisker related net assets, and the impairment of Fisker warrants), and gain on business combination during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 & 2024. A reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is included in the back of this press release. |
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025
We posted sales of $31.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $32.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The lower sales largely reflects:
- 2% lower light vehicle production in both North America and Europe;
- lower complete vehicle assembly volumes, substantially due to the end of production of the Jaguar I-Pace and E-Pace; and
- the end of production of certain programs.
These were partially offset by the launch of new programs.
Adjusted EBIT decreased to $1.55 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $1.64 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to:
- reduced earnings on lower sales; and
- higher tariff costs.
These were partially offset by continued productivity and efficiency improvements, including the benefit of our operational excellence initiatives and recent restructuring activities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, income from operations before income taxes was $1.19 billion, and net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $830 million, increases of $33 million and $24 million, respectively, each compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, diluted earnings per share were $2.94, compared to $2.81 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $3.55, compared to $3.72 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we generated cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.10 billion and used $480 million in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities included $781 million in fixed asset additions, a $342 million increase in investments, other assets and intangible assets, and $6 million in public and private equity investments.
RETURN OF CAPITAL TO SHAREHOLDERS
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we paid $136 million in dividends to shareholders.
Our Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.485 per Common Share, payable on November 28, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 14, 2025.
OTHER MATTERS
Subject to the approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange, our Board of Directors approved a new Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") to purchase up to approximately 25.3 million of our Common Shares, representing 10% of our public float of Common Shares. This NCIB is expected to be effective on November 7, 2025 and will terminate no later than November 6, 2026.

2025 OUTLOOK
We disclose a full-year Outlook annually in February with quarterly updates. The following Outlook is an update to our previous Outlook in August 2025.
Updated 2025 Outlook Assumptions
| Current | Previous | |||
| Light Vehicle Production (millions of units) | ||||

Our Outlook is intended to provide information about management's current expectations and plans and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although considered reasonable by Magna as of the date of this document, the 2025 Outlook above and the underlying assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from our expectations as set forth herein. The risks identified in the "Forward-Looking Statements" section below represent the primary factors which we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.
KEY DRIVERS OF OUR BUSINESS
Our business and operating results are dependent on light vehicle production by our customers in three key regions – North America, Europe, and China. While we supply systems and components to many OEMs globally, we do not supply systems and components for every vehicle, nor is the value of our content consistent from one vehicle to the next. As a result, customer and program mix relative to market trends, as well as the value of our content on specific vehicle production programs, are also important drivers of our results.
Ordinarily, OEM production volumes are aligned with vehicle sales levels and thus affected by changes in such levels. Aside from vehicle sales levels, production volumes are typically impacted by a range of factors, including: OEM, supplier or sub-supplier disruptions; free trade arrangements and tariffs; relative currency values; commodities prices; supply chains and infrastructure; labour disruptions and the availability and relative cost of skilled labour; regulatory frameworks; and other factors.
Overall vehicle sales levels are significantly affected by changes in consumer confidence levels, which may in turn be impacted by consumer perceptions and general trends related to the job, housing, and stock markets, as well as other macroeconomic and political factors. Other factors which typically impact vehicle sales levels and thus production volumes include: vehicle affordability; interest rates and/or availability of credit; fuel and energy prices; relative currency values; uncertainty as to the pace of EV adoption; and other factors.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION
In addition to the financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release contains references to the Non-GAAP financial measures reconciled below. We believe the Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company's financial position and results of operations, and to improve comparability between fiscal periods. In particular, management believes that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are useful measures in assessing the Company's financial performance by excluding certain items that are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance. The presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the Company's related financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

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