The lower sales largely reflects:lower global light vehicle production, including lower vehicle production in North America and China of 5% and 7%, respectively, partially offset by 3% higher vehicle production in Europe;the end of production of certain programs;the divestitures of our Lighting and Rooftop Systems businesses during 2026;net customer price concessions as compared to the prior year;lower engineering revenue, primarily in our Complete Vehicles segment; andthe net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.These factors were partially offset by:the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2025; andnet favourable commercial items.Adjusted EBIT increased 11% to $683 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $613 million for the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to:net favourable commercial items;productivity and efficiency improvements, including the benefit of operational excellence initiatives and prior restructuring actions, net of customer price concessions; andrecoveries for tariffs and lower tariff costs incurred.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.These factors were partially offset by:reduced earnings on lower organic sales, and related product mix impacts;higher commodity costs, partially offset by higher scrap recoveries; andnet transactional foreign exchange losses in the third quarter of 2026, compared to net transactional foreign exchange gains in the third quarter of 2025.Income from operations before income taxes was $552 million in the third quarter of 2026, up $79 million or 17% compared to the third quarter of 2025. Income from operations before income taxes includes Other expense, net(2) and Amortization of acquired intangible assets totaling $96 million and $75 million in the third quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Excluding Other expense, net and Amortization of acquired intangible assets from both periods, income from operations before income taxes in the third quarter of 2026 increased $100 million or 18% compared to the third quarter of 2025, largely reflecting the increase in Adjusted EBIT and lower interest expense.Net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $383 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $305 million in the third quarter of 2025. Excluding Other expense, net, after tax and Amortization of acquired intangibles from both periods, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $486 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $375 million in the third quarter of 2025.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Diluted earnings per share were $1.44 in the third quarter of 2026, an increase of 33% from the comparable period. Adjusted EPS were $1.83, compared to $1.33 for the third quarter of last year, an increase of 38%. The increase in Adjusted EPS primarily reflects the impact of higher Adjusted EBIT, lower interest expense and effective tax rate, and a decrease in average diluted shares outstanding resulting from share repurchases over the past 12 months.In the third quarter of 2026, we generated cash from operations of $950 million, and Free Cash Flow of $584 million.(2) Other expense, net is comprised of restructuring activities, loss on assets held for sale, impacts related to Fisker, and gain on investment during the three months ended September 30, 2026 & 2025.

Although considered reasonable by Magna as of the date of this document, the 2026 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 BUSINESSOur 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.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.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: geopolitical factors, such as military conflicts and tariffs; supply chains, including disruption to supply of and/or increased costs of steel, aluminum, resin, and energy supplies, as well as semiconductor and memory (DRAM) chips; OEM, supplier or sub-supplier disruptions; relative currency values; commodity prices; labour disruptions, as well as 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; and considerations applicable to EVs, including EV range, charging infrastructure, and electricity pricing.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATIONIn 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. Management also believes that Free Cash Flow is a useful measure in assessing the Company’s ability to generate cash to maintain operations and repay its debt. 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.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.The following table reconciles Net income to Adjusted EBIT:Adjusted EBIT THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net income $400 $333 $878 $880 Add: Amortization of acquired intangible assets 17 27 53 82 Interest expense, net 35 65 109 167 Other expense, net 79 48 518 107 Income taxes 152 140 360 314 Adjusted EBIT $683 $613 $1,918 $1,550 Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales (“Adjusted EBIT margin”) THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, NINE MONTHS ENDEDSEPTEMBER 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Sales $10,059 $10,462 $31,420 $31,162 Adjusted EBIT $683 $613 $1,918 $1,550 Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales 6.8% 5.9% 6.1% 5.0% NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION (CONTINUED)Adjusted EPS THREE MONTHS ENDEDSEPTEMBER 30, NINE MONTHS ENDEDSEPTEMBER 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net income attributable to Magna International Inc. $383 $305 $840 $830 Add (deduct): Amortization of acquired intangible assets 17 27 53 82 Tax effect on Amortization of acquired intangible assets (1) (5) (4) (15)Other expense, net 79 48 518 107 Tax effect on Other expense, net 8 — (27) (3)Adjusted net income attributable to Magna International Inc. $486 $375 $1,380 $1,001 Diluted weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period (millions): 266.0 281.8 273.0 281.9 Adjusted EPS $1.83 $1.33 $5.06 $3.55 This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.The following table reconciles Cash provided from operating activities to Free Cash Flow:Free Cash Flow THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Cash provided from operating activities $950 $912 $2,581 $1,616 (Deduct) add: Fixed asset additions (307) (267) (795) (781)Increase in investment, other assets, and intangible assets (75) (100) (320) (342)Proceeds from disposition 16 27 107 67 Free Cash Flow $584 $572 $1,573 $560 Certain of the forward-looking financial measures provided in our Outlook are provided on a Non-GAAP basis.

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.This press release, together with our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position and our Interim Financial Statements, are available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.magna.com/company/investors and filed electronically through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval + (SEDAR+) which can be accessed at www.sedarplus.ca as well as on the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR), which can be accessed at www.sec.gov.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.We will hold a conference call for interested analysts and shareholders to discuss our third quarter ended September 30, 2026 results on Friday, October 30, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET.
