-------------------------------------
We posted sales of $5.9 billion for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 27% from the third quarter of 2009. 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 third quarter of 2010, North American and European average dollar content per vehicle increased by 9% and 8%, respectively, each compared to the third quarter of 2009. In addition, North American vehicle production increased 28% whereas European vehicle production decreased 1%, each compared to the third quarter of 2009.
Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 21% to $519 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $428 million for the third quarter of 2009, while complete vehicle assembly volumes increased 41% to approximately 21,000 units.
During the third quarter of 2010, operating income was $317 million, net income was $241 million and diluted earnings per share were $2.06, increases of $236 million, $190 million and $1.61, respectively, each compared to the third quarter of 2009.
During the third quarter ended September 30, 2010, we generated cash from operations of $422 million before changes in non cash operating assets and liabilities, and invested $57 million in non cash operating assets and liabilities. Total investment activities for the third quarter of 2010 were $233 million, including $182 million in fixed asset additions, $45 million in investments and other assets and $6 million to purchase subsidiaries.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
------------------------------------
We posted sales of $17.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 47% from the nine months ended September 30, 2009. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2010, vehicle production increased 54% to 9.0 million units in North America and 14% to 9.8 million units in Europe, each compared to the first nine months of 2009.
Also during the first nine months of 2010, our North American and European average dollar content per vehicle increased 12% and 10% respectively, each compared to the first nine months of 2009.
Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 24% to $1.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, while complete vehicle assembly volumes increased 50% to approximately 61,000 units.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, operating income was $975 million, net income was $757 million and diluted earnings per share were $6.61, increases of $1.4 billion, $1.1 billion and $9.78, respectively, each compared to the first nine months of 2009.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we generated cash from operations before changes in non cash operating assets and liabilities of $1.3 billion, and invested $322 million in non cash operating assets and liabilities. Total investment activities for the first nine months of 2010 were $586 million, including $479 million in fixed asset additions, $99 million in investments and other assets and $8 million to purchase subsidiaries.
Don Walker, Magna's Chief Executive Officer commented: "We continue to generate strong earnings and cash flow, even at historically low levels of vehicle production in our primary markets of North America and Western Europe. The eventual recovery of vehicle production in these markets, combined with our expansion plans in other regions around the world, our strong balance sheet, and our continued efforts to improve underperforming operations all leave us very optimistic about Magna's future operating results."
A more detailed discussion of our consolidated financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010 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.
STOCK SPLIT
-----------
Our Board of Directors has approved a two-for-one stock split of the company's outstanding common shares. The two-for-one stock split will be implemented by way of a stock dividend. Subject to regulatory approval, shareholders will receive one additional common share of Magna for each common share held. The stock dividend will be payable on November 24, 2010, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 16, 2010. Shareholders should retain their existing share certificates and not return their share certificates to Magna or its transfer agent.
Magna's common shares are expected to begin trading on a split basis on the Toronto Stock Exchange on November 12, 2010 and on the New York Stock Exchange on November 26, 2010.
Magna is ascribing no monetary value to the stock dividend. All of Magna's equity-based compensation plans and arrangements will be adjusted to reflect the issuance of additional shares due to the stock split.
Vince Galifi, Magna's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer stated: "The decision to announce a stock split at this time reflects the Board's confidence in our future."
INCREASED QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND
---------------------------------
Our Board of Directors also declared a quarterly dividend with respect to our outstanding Common Shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. In light of Magna's performance, the Board decided to increase the dividend by 20% to U.S. $0.18 per share after giving effect to the two-for-one stock split referred to above (this equates to a dividend of U.S. $0.36 per share on a pre stock split basis). This dividend is payable on December 15, 2010 to shareholders of record on November 30, 2010.
NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
------------------------
Subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), our Board of Directors approved a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 4.0 million of our Common Shares (adjusted to 8.0 million shares on a post stock split basis), representing approximately 3.3% of the outstanding Common Shares. The primary purposes of the normal course issuer bid are purchases for cancellation to offset potential dilution resulting from the exercise of stock options, for purchases to fund the Company's restricted stock unit program and its obligations under its deferred profit sharing plans. The normal course issuer bid is expected to commence on or about November 10, 2010 and will terminate one year later. All purchases of Common Shares will be made at the market price at the time of purchase in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX. Purchases may also be made on the NYSE in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
GOVERNANCE
----------
As previously announced, in connection with the elimination of our dual class structure effective August 31, 2010, our Chairman, Frank Stronach, has resigned as a member of the Nominating Committee of our Board of Directors. This vacancy was filled today by the Board's appointment of Louis Lataif, Dean Emeritus of Boston University School of Management and former President of Ford Europe. The Nominating Committee is now comprised entirely of independent directors and, consistent with its mandate, will undertake a comprehensive review of the Board's composition with a view to ensuring that the Board continues to have the capabilities to oversee our operations globally. The Nominating Committee plans to retain an internationally recognized firm to assist in its search for potential future Board members as part of this review process.
2010 OUTLOOK
------------
For the full year 2010, we expect our sales to be between $23.5 billion and $24.0 billion, based on full year 2010 light vehicle production volumes of approximately 11.8 million units in North America and approximately 12.6 million units in Europe. Full year 2010 average dollar content per vehicle is expected to be between $980 and $995 in North America and between $545 and $555 in Europe. We expect our full year 2010 complete vehicle assembly sales to be between $2.05 billion and $2.15 billion. In addition, we expect that full year 2010 spending for fixed assets will be in the range of $740 million to $775 million.
This 2010 outlook assumes no significant acquisitions or divestitures. In addition, we have assumed that foreign exchange rates for the most common currencies in which we conduct business relative to our U.S. dollar reporting currency will approximate current rates.

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 September 30, 2010, we had 245 manufacturing operations and 80 product development, engineering and sales centres in 25 countries.
HIGHLIGHTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the third quarter of 2010, North American light vehicle production increased 28% relative to the third quarter of 2009, representing the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year increases. Third quarter 2010 light vehicle production in North America declined only 4% from the second quarter of 2010, a much less dramatic seasonal decline than is historically experienced.
In Western Europe, light vehicle production declined approximately 1% from the third quarter of 2009, a quarter in which European vehicle sales and production were supported by vehicle "scrappage" programs in a number of European countries. However, 2010 Western European production has remained stronger than we anticipated.
Our total sales for the third quarter of 2010 increased 27% over the third quarter of 2009. As was the case in the second quarter of 2010, North American, European and Rest of World production sales, as well as complete vehicle assembly sales and tooling, engineering and other sales all exceeded third quarter of 2009 levels. Third quarter 2010 operating income increased $236 million to $317 million, compared to operating income of $81 million for the third quarter of 2009. Our continued strong operating results reflect, among other things:
- improved light vehicle production in North America;
- the ongoing benefit of our efforts over the past few years to
restructure and right-size our operations, as well as to reduce costs
across the organization;
- the benefit of our efforts to improve underperforming operations
around the world;
- the benefit of a commercial settlement with a customer related to the
recovery of previously expensed engineering and design costs; and
- an accounts receivable valuation allowance in the third quarter of
2009.
These factors were partially offset by a stock-based compensation charge as a result of modifying option agreements following the resignation of two employees.
Stock Split
Our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split, to be implemented by way of a stock dividend, whereby our shareholders will receive an additional Common Share for each Common Share held. The stock dividend will be payable on November 24, 2010, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 16, 2010. All equity-based compensation plans or arrangements and our normal course issuer bid (discussed below) will be adjusted to reflect the issuance of additional Common Shares due to the declaration of the stock split.
Increase in Dividend
Our Board of Directors also declared a quarterly dividend with respect to our outstanding Common Shares for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. In light of Magna's performance, the Board decided to increase the dividend by 20% to U.S. $0.18 per share after giving effect to the two-for-one stock split referred to above (this equates to a dividend of U.S. $0.36 per share on a pre stock split basis). This dividend is payable on December 15, 2010 to shareholders of record on November 30, 2010.
Normal Course Issuer Bid
Subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), our Board of Directors approved a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 4.0 million of our issued and outstanding Common Shares (adjusted to 8.0 million shares on a post stock split basis), representing approximately 3.3% of our outstanding Common Shares. The primary purposes of the normal course issuer bid are purchases for cancellation to offset potential dilution resulting from the exercise of stock options, and/or for purchases to fund our restricted stock unit program and our obligations to our deferred profit sharing plans. The normal course issuer bid is expected to commence on or about November 10, 2010 and will terminate one year later. All purchases of Common Shares will be made at the market price at the time of purchase in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX. Purchases may also be made on the NYSE in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Plan of Arrangement
On August 31, 2010, following approval by our Class A Subordinate Voting and Class B Shareholders, we completed the court-approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") with the Stronach group whereby our dual-class share structure was collapsed. The transaction also: (i) set a termination date and declining fee schedule for the consulting, business development and business services contracts Magna has in place with Frank Stronach and his affiliated entities; and (ii) established a partnership with the Stronach group to pursue opportunities in the vehicle electrification business.
(a) Capital Transaction
We purchased for cancellation all 726,829 outstanding Class B Shares,
which were held indirectly by the Stronach group, for $300 million in
cash and 9.0 million newly issued Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.
The newly issued shares held indirectly by the Stronach group
represented an equal equity ownership and voting interest of 7.4% as
of August 31, 2010. Issue costs related to the issuance of these
shares were $13 million.
In addition, Magna's Articles were amended to remove the Class B
Shares from the authorized capital and to make non-substantive
consequential changes to its Articles, including renaming the Class A
Subordinate Voting Shares as Common Shares and eliminating provisions
which no longer apply due to the elimination of the Class B Shares.
(b) Vehicle Electrification Partnership
The partnership involves the engineering, development and integration
of electric vehicles of any type, the development, testing and
manufacturing of batteries and battery packs for hybrid (H) and
electric vehicles (EV) and all ancillary activities in connection
with electric vehicle technologies. Our original investment in the
partnership included the assets of our recently established E-Car
Systems vehicle electrification and battery business unit, certain
other vehicle electrification assets, and $145 million in cash. On
August 31, 2010, the Stronach group invested $80 million in cash for
a 27% equity interest in the partnership, reducing our equity
interest to 73%. The partnership is controlled by the Stronach group.
Governance
As previously announced, in connection with the elimination of our dual
class structure effective August 31, 2010, our Chairman, Frank Stronach, has
resigned as a member of the Nominating Committee of our Board of Directors.
This vacancy was filled today by the Board's appointment of Louis Lataif, Dean
Emeritus of Boston University School of Management and former President of
Ford Europe. The Nominating Committee is now comprised entirely of independent
directors and, consistent with its mandate, will undertake a comprehensive
review of the Board's composition with a view to ensuring that the Board
continues to have the capabilities to oversee our operations globally. The
Nominating Committee plans to retain an internationally recognized firm to
assist in its search for potential future Board members as part of this review
process.
FINANCIAL RESULTS SUMMARY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the third quarter of 2010, we posted sales of $5.9 billion, an increase of 27% from the third quarter of 2009. 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 third quarter of 2010 to the third quarter of 2009:
- North American vehicle production increased by 28% and average dollar
content per vehicle increased 9%;
- European vehicle production decreased 1% while average dollar content
per vehicle increased 8%;
- Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 21% to $519 million, as
complete vehicle assembly volumes increased 41%;
- Rest of World production sales increased 29% to $249 million from
$193 million; and
- Tooling, engineering and other sales increased 52% to $502 million
from $330 million.
During the third quarter of 2010, we generated operating income of $317 million compared to $81 million for the third quarter of 2009. The $236 million increase in operating income was substantially due to increased margins earned on higher sales as a result of significantly higher vehicle production volumes in North America. In addition, operating income was positively impacted by:
- the $33 million benefit of a commercial settlement with a customer
related to the recovery of previously expensed engineering and design
costs;
- lower restructuring and downsizing costs;
- a $16 million accounts receivable valuation allowance in the third
quarter of 2009;
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities;
- lower warranty costs;
- lower costs incurred related to launches or for programs that have
not fully ramped up production.
These factors were partially offset by:
- operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities, in
particular at certain electronics, and exteriors and interiors
systems facilities in Europe;
- higher incentive compensation;
- employee profit sharing, as no profit sharing was recorded in 2009;
- a $16 million stock-based compensation charge as a result of
modifying option agreements following the resignation of two
employees;
- increased commodity costs;
- a $9 million favourable revaluation of our investment in asset-backed
commercial paper ("ABCP") in the third quarter of 2009;
- increased stock-based compensation; and
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of
2009.
During the third quarter of 2010, net income increased $190 million to $241 million compared to $51 million for the third quarter of 2009. The increase in net income was a result of the increase in operating income partially offset by higher income taxes.
During the third quarter of 2010, our diluted earnings per share increased by $1.61 to $2.06 compared to $0.45 for the third quarter of 2009. The increase in diluted earnings per share is as a result of the increase in net income partially offset by an increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the third quarter of 2010. The increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding was primarily due to the net issue of shares during the third quarter of 2010 related to the Arrangement and an increase in the number of diluted shares associated with stock options.
UNUSUAL ITEMS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Restructuring and Impairment Charges
(a) For the nine months ended September 30, 2010
During the second quarter of 2010, we recorded restructuring
and rationalization costs of $21 million in cost of goods sold
and $3 million in selling, general and administrative expense
related to the planned closure of a powertrain systems facility
and two body & chassis systems facilities in North America.
(b) For the nine months ended September 30, 2009
During the second quarter of 2009, after failing to reach a
favourable labour agreement at a powertrain systems facility in
Syracuse, New York, we decided to wind down these operations.
Given the significance of the facility's cashflows in relation
to the reporting unit, we determined that it was more likely
than not that goodwill at the Powertrain North America
reporting unit could potentially be impaired. Therefore, we
recorded a $75 million goodwill impairment charge.
The goodwill impairment charge was calculated by determining
the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if we
had acquired the reporting unit as at June 30, 2009.
During the second quarter of 2009, we recorded restructuring
costs of $6 million related to the planned closure of this
powertrain systems facility.
(2) Curtailment gain
During the second quarter of 2009, we amended our Retiree Premium
Reimbursement Plan in Canada and the United States, such that most
employees retiring on or after August 1, 2009 would no longer
participate in the plan. The amendment reduced service costs and
retirement medical benefit expense in 2009 and future years. As a
result of amending the plan, a curtailment gain of $26 million was
recorded in cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 2009.
(3) Sale of Facility
During the first quarter of 2010, we sold our interest in an
electronics systems joint venture in China and realized a $14 million
gain.
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, 2009, and remain substantially unchanged in respect of the third quarter ended September 30, 2010. In addition to the risk factors referenced above, our partnership with the Stronach group to pursue opportunities in the vehicle electrification business is subject to a number of additional risks. These additional risk factors are discussed in Magna's Management Information Circular/Proxy Statement, dated May 31, 2010, under the heading "Risks Relating to the Vehicle Electrification Joint Venture."

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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 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.

External Production Sales - North America
External production sales in North America increased 39% or $0.8 billion to $3.0 billion for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $2.2 billion for the third quarter of 2009. This increase in production sales reflects a 28% increase in North American vehicle production volumes combined with a 9% increase in our North American average dollar content per vehicle.
Our average dollar content per vehicle grew by 9% or $83 to $1,010 for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $927 for the third quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of:
- the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the third quarter
of 2009, including the:
- Jeep Grand Cherokee;
- Ford Fiesta;
- GMC Terrain; and
- Cadillac SRX;
- an increase in reported U.S. dollar sales due to the strengthening of
the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar; and
- favourable production (relative to industry volumes) and/or content
on certain programs, including the:
- Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave; and
- Chevrolet Equinox.
These factors were partially offset by:
- unfavourable production (relative to industry volumes) and/or content
on certain programs, including the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and
Mazda Tribute;
- programs that ended production during or subsequent to the third
quarter of 2009, including the Pontiac and Saturn brands; and
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of
2009.
External Production Sales - Europe
External production sales in Europe increased 7% or $0.10 billion to $1.65 billion for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $1.55 billion for the third quarter of 2009. This increase in production sales reflects an 8% increase in our European average dollar content per vehicle partially offset by a 1% decrease in European vehicle production volumes.
Our average dollar content per vehicle grew by 8% or $42 to $571 for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $529 for the third quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of:
- the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the third quarter
of 2009, including the:
- MINI Countryman;
- Peugeot RCZ;
- Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg;
- Audi A1;
- Opel Astra; and
- Mercedes-Benz SLS;
- favourable production (relative to industry volumes) and/or content
on certain programs, including the:
- Volkswagen Tiguan;
- Audi Q5;
- BMW X1;
- Porsche Panamera; and
- Ford Transit; and
- acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the third quarter of
2009.
These factors were partially offset by:
- a decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales due to the weakening of the
euro and British pound, each against the U.S. dollar;
- unfavourable production (relative to industry volumes) and/or content
on certain programs, including the:
- smart fortwo;
- Mercedes-Benz B-Class;
- Honda Civic; and
- Volkswagen Golf;
- programs that ended production during or subsequent to the third
quarter of 2009; and
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of
2009.
External Production Sales - Rest of World
External production sales in Rest of World increased 29% or $56 million to $249 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $193 million for the third quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of:
- increased production and/or content on certain programs in China and
Korea;
- the acquisition of a Japanese roof systems facility in the first
quarter of 2010;
- the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the third quarter
of 2009 in China; and
- an increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the
strengthening of the Korean Won and Chinese Renminbi, each against
the U.S. dollar.
These factors were partially offset by the sale of our interest in an electronics systems joint venture in China in the first quarter of 2010.
Complete Vehicle Assembly Sales
The terms of our various vehicle assembly contracts differ with respect to the ownership of components and supplies related to the assembly process and the method of determining the selling price to the OEM customer. Under certain contracts we are acting as principal, and purchased components and systems in assembled vehicles are included in our inventory and cost of sales. These costs are reflected on a full-cost basis in the selling price of the final assembled vehicle to the OEM customer. Other contracts provide that third-party components and systems are held on consignment by us, and the selling price to the OEM customer reflects 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. In addition, the relative proportion of programs accounted for on a full-cost basis and programs accounted for on a value-added basis also impacts our level of sales and operating margin percentage, but may not necessarily affect 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 has the effect of increasing the level of total sales, however, because purchased components are included in cost of sales, profitability as a percentage of total sales is reduced. Conversely, a relative increase in the assembly of vehicles accounted for on a value-added basis has the effect of reducing the level of total sales and increasing profitability as a percentage of total sales.

Complete vehicle assembly sales increased 21% or $91 million to $519 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $428 million for the third quarter of 2009, while assembly volumes increased 41% or 5,990 units.
The increase in complete vehicle assembly sales is primarily as a result of:
- the launch of new assembly programs subsequent to the third quarter
of 2009, including the:
- MINI Countryman;
- Peugeot RCZ; and
- Aston Martin Rapide; and
- an increase in assembly volumes for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
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;
- Saab 9(3) Convertible in the fourth quarter of 2009; and
- Chrysler 300 and Jeep Grand Cherokee in the second quarter of 2010.
In addition, complete vehicle assembly sales were negatively impacted by a decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales due to the weakening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.
Tooling, Engineering and Other
Tooling, engineering and other sales increased 52% or $172 million to $502 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $330 million for the third quarter of 2009.
In the third quarter of 2010, the major programs for which we recorded tooling, engineering and other sales were the:
- MINI Cooper and Countryman;
- Jeep Grand Cherokee;
- BMW X3;
- Mercedes-Benz M-Class;
- Porsche Cayenne;
- Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra; and
- Chevrolet Volt.
In the third quarter of 2009, the major programs for which we recorded tooling, engineering and other sales were the:
- Opel/Vauxhall Astra;
- MINI Cooper and Countryman;
- Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra;
- BMW X3;
- Ford F-Series;
- Porsche Panamera;
- Opel Insignia;
- Ford Freestar; and
- Audi Q5.
In addition, tooling, engineering and other sales decreased as a result of the weakening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased $258 million to $810 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $552 million for the third quarter of 2009 and gross margin as a percentage of total sales increased to 13.6% for the third quarter of 2010 compared to 11.8% for the third quarter of 2009. The 1.8% increase in gross margin as a percentage of total sales was substantially due to increased gross margin earned as a result of significantly higher vehicle production volumes in North America. In addition, gross margin as a percentage of total sales was positively impacted by:
- the $33 million benefit of a commercial settlement with a customer
related to the recovery of previously expensed engineering and design
costs;
- lower restructuring and downsizing costs;
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities;
- lower warranty costs; and
- lower costs incurred related to launches or for programs that have
not fully ramped up production.
These factors were partially offset by:
- operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities, in
particular at certain electronics, and exteriors and interiors
systems facilities in Europe;
- employee profit sharing, as no profit sharing was recorded in 2009;
- increased commodity costs; and
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of
2009.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization costs decreased 13% or $25 million to $161 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $186 million for the third quarter of 2009. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily as a result of:
- the impairment of certain assets subsequent to the third quarter of
2009;
- a decrease in reported U.S. dollar depreciation and amortization due
to the weakening of the euro against the U.S. dollar; and
- the disposition of certain facilities subsequent to the third quarter
of 2009.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A")
SG&A expense as a percentage of sales was 5.8% for the third quarter of 2010, compared to 6.1% for the third quarter of 2009. SG&A expense increased $56 million to $342 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $286 million for the third quarter of 2009. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily as a result of:
- higher incentive compensation;
- a $16 million stock-based compensation charge as a result of
modifying option agreements following the resignation of two
employees;
- a $9 million favourable revaluation of our investment in ABCP in the
third quarter of 2009;
- higher costs to support the increased sales level; and
- higher stock-based compensation.
These factors were partially offset by:
- a $16 million accounts receivable valuation allowance in the third
quarter of 2009;
- a decrease in reported U.S. dollar SG&A due to the weakening of the
euro against the U.S. dollar;
- lower restructuring and downsizing costs; and
- the closure or disposition of certain facilities during or subsequent
to the third quarter of 2009.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) EBIT is defined as income (loss) from operations before income taxes
and minority interest as presented on our unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements before net interest (income)
expense.
North America
EBIT in North America increased $168 million to $276 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $108 million for the third quarter of 2009. The increase in EBIT was substantially due to increased margins earned on higher sales as a result of significantly higher vehicle production volumes. In addition, EBIT was positively impacted by:
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities;
- lower warranty costs;
- a $3 million accounts receivable valuation allowance in the third
quarter of 2009; and
- lower restructuring and downsizing costs.
These factors were partially offset by:
- increased commodity costs;
- higher incentive compensation;
- employee profit sharing, as no profit sharing was recorded in 2009;
- higher affiliation fees paid to corporate;
- operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities; and
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of
2009.
Europe
EBIT in Europe increased $58 million to $11 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to a loss of $47 million for the third quarter of 2009 due to:
- lower costs incurred related to launches or for programs that have
not fully ramped up production;
- a $13 million accounts receivable valuation allowance in the third
quarter of 2009;
- lower warranty costs; and
- lower restructuring and downsizing costs.
These factors were partially offset by:
- operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities, in
particular at certain electronics, and exteriors and interiors
systems facilities;
- employee profit sharing, as no profit sharing was recorded in 2009;
- higher management compensation; and
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of
2009.
Rest of World
Rest of World EBIT increased $1 million to $19 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $18 million for the third quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of:
- additional margin earned on increased production sales; and
- incremental margin earned on new programs that launched during or
subsequent to the third quarter of 2009.
These factors were partially offset by:
- the write-off of certain assets; and
- the sale of our interest in an electronics systems joint venture in
China in the first quarter of 2010.
E-Car Systems
E-Car Systems EBIT decreased $3 million to a loss of $16 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to a loss of $13 million for the third quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of higher development and launch costs.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other EBIT increased $7 million to $24 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $17 million for the third quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of:
- the $33 million benefit of a commercial settlement with a customer
related to the recovery of previously expensed engineering and design
costs;
- an increase in affiliation fees earned from our divisions;
- the positive impact of foreign exchange; and
- an increase in equity income earned.
These factors were partially offset by:
- a $16 million stock-based compensation charge as a result of
modifying option agreements following the resignation of two
employees;
- a $9 million favourable revaluation of our investment in ABCP in the
third quarter of 2009;
- higher incentive compensation; and
- higher stock-based compensation.
Interest (Income) Expense, net
During the third quarter of 2010, we recorded net interest income of $3 million compared to $2 million of net interest expense for the third quarter of 2009. The $5 million increase in net interest income is as a result of a reduction in interest expense due to the repayment of our 7.08% Subordinated Debentures during the third quarter of 2009 and our 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures subsequent to the third quarter of 2009.
Operating Income
Operating income increased $236 million to $317 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $81 million for the third quarter of 2009. The increase in operating income is the result of the increase in EBIT and the decrease in net interest expense, both as discussed above.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate on operating income (excluding equity income) decreased to 24.8% for the third quarter of 2010 compared to 38.5% for the third quarter of 2009. The effective income tax rate decreased primarily due to the utilization of losses that were previously not benefited, mainly in the United States.
Minority Interest
During the third quarter of 2010, we recorded $1 million of minority interest recovery with respect to the loss incurred in our E-Car systems partnership for the month of September.
Net Income
Net income increased $190 million to $241 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $51 million for the third quarter of 2009. The increase in net income is the result of the increase in operating income partially offset by higher income taxes, both as discussed above.

Diluted earnings per share increased $1.61 to $2.06 for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $0.45 for the third quarter of 2009 as a result of the increase in net income, described above, partially offset 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 shares during the third quarter of 2010 related to the Arrangement and an increase in the number of diluted shares associated with stock options.

Cash flow from operations before changes in non-cash operating assets and liabilities increased $164 million to $422 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $258 million for the third quarter of 2009. The increase in cash flow from operations was due to a $190 million increase in net income, as discussed above, partially offset by a $26 million decrease in items not involving current cash flows. The decrease in items not involving current cash flows was primarily as a result of a $25 million decrease in depreciation and amortization and a $34 million decrease in other non-cash charges (including the previously discussed benefit of the commercial settlement) offset in part by the $40 million increase in future income taxes and non-cash portion of current taxes. Items not involving current cash flows are comprised of the following:

The increases in accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable in the third quarter of 2010 was primarily due to the increase in production activities at the end of the third quarter of 2010 compared to the end of the second quarter of 2010 and new program launches. The increase in income taxes payable was primarily due to a higher income tax provision, resulting from increased earnings in excess of required instalment payments, as well as the receipt of income tax refunds.

Fixed and other assets additions
In the third quarter of 2010, we invested $182 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 third quarter of 2010 was for manufacturing equipment for programs that will be launching subsequent to the third quarter of 2010.
In the third quarter of 2010, we invested $42 million in other assets related primarily to fully reimbursable tooling costs at our body & chassis systems operations and planning and engineering costs at powertrain systems operations for programs that will be launching subsequent to the third quarter of 2010.
Purchase of subsidiaries
During the third quarter of 2010, we invested $6 million to purchase subsidiaries.
Proceeds from disposition
Proceeds from disposition in the third quarter of 2010 were $52 million which included: a cash payment received on the sale of a long-term receivable related to fully reimbursable capitalized pre-production costs; and normal course fixed and other asset disposals.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total capitalization increased by $0.52 billion to $8.06 billion at September 30, 2010 compared to $7.54 billion at December 31, 2009. The increase in capitalization was a result of a $493 million increase in shareholders' equity and an $84 million increase in minority interest partially offset by a $59 million decrease in liabilities.
The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily as a result of:
- net income earned during the first nine months of 2010;
- net unrealized gains on cash flow hedges, and the reclassification of
net gains on cash flow hedges from accumulated other comprehensive
income to net income; and
- an increase in contributed surplus related to stock-based
compensation expense.
These factors were partially offset by:
- the repurchase of Class B Shares in connection with the Arrangement;
and
- dividends paid during the second and third quarters of 2010.
The increase in minority interest was as a result of the formation of the E-Car partnership.
The decrease in liabilities is primarily as a result of the repayment of debt in the second and third quarters of 2010 assumed on the acquisition of Cadence.
Cash Resources
During the first nine months of 2010, our cash resources increased by $0.3 billion to $1.7 billion primarily as a result of the cash provided from operating activities partially offset by cash used for investing activities and financing activities (including cash used for the Arrangement), as discussed above. In addition to our cash resources, we had term and operating lines of credit totalling $2.0 billion. The unused and available portion of our lines of credit was unchanged at $1.9 billion during the first nine months of 2010.

External Production Sales - North America
External production sales in North America increased 72% or $3.7 billion to $8.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $5.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This increase in production sales reflects a 54% increase in North American vehicle production volumes combined with a 12% increase in our North American average dollar content per vehicle.
Our average dollar content per vehicle grew by 12% or $106 to $979 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $873 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of:
- the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, including the:
- Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain;
- Jeep Grand Cherokee;
- Cadillac SRX; and
- Chevrolet Cruze;
- an increase in reported U.S. dollar sales due to the strengthening of
the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar;
- favourable production (relative to industry volumes) and/or content
on certain programs, including the:
- Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country and Volkswagen
Routan;
- Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave;
- GM full-sized SUVs;
- Dodge Journey; and
- Jeep Wrangler; and
- the acquisition of several facilities from Meridian Automotive
Systems Inc. in the third quarter of 2009.
These factors were partially offset by:
- programs that ended production during or subsequent to the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, including the Pontiac and Saturn
brands;
- unfavourable production (relative to industry volumes) and/or content
on certain programs, including the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and
Mazda Tribute; and
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.
External Production Sales - Europe
External production sales in Europe increased 25% or $1.05 billion to $5.18 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $4.13 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This increase in production sales reflects a 14% increase in European vehicle production volumes combined with a 10% increase in our European average dollar content per vehicle.
Our average dollar content per vehicle grew by 10% or $46 to $530 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $484 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of:
- the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, including the:
- Porsche Panamera;
- Peugeot RCZ;
- Mercedes-Benz SLS;
- Opel Astra;
- MINI Countryman; and
- Skoda Yeti;
- acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, including Cadence; and
- favourable production (relative to industry volumes) and/or content
on certain programs, including the BMW X1.
These factors were partially offset by:
- a decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales due to the weakening of the
euro, against the U.S. dollar;
- unfavourable production (relative to industry volumes) and/or content
on certain programs, including the smart fortwo; and
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.
External Production Sales - Rest of World
External production sales in Rest of World increased 62% or $284 million to $739 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $455 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of:
- increased production and/or content on certain programs in China,
Korea, Brazil and South Africa;
- the acquisition of a Japanese roof systems facility in the first
quarter of 2010;
- the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the third quarter
of 2009 in China and Japan; and
- an increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the
strengthening of the Brazilian real and Korean Won, both against the
U.S. dollar.
These factors were partially offset by the sale of our interest in an electronics systems joint venture in China in the first quarter of 2010.

The increase in complete vehicle assembly sales is primarily as a result of:
- the launch of new assembly programs subsequent to the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, including the:
- Peugeot RCZ;
- Aston Martin Rapide; and
- MINI Countryman; and
- an increase in assembly volumes for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
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;
- Saab 9(3) Convertible in the fourth quarter of 2009; and
- Chrysler 300 and Jeep Grand Cherokee in the second quarter of 2010.
In addition, complete vehicle assembly sales were negatively impacted by a decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales due to the weakening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.
Tooling, Engineering and Other

North America
EBIT in North America increased $990 million to $825 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to a loss of $165 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Excluding the North American unusual items discussed in the "Unusual Items" section, the $959 million increase in EBIT was substantially due to increased margins earned on higher sales as a result of higher vehicle production volumes. In addition, EBIT was positively impacted by:
- the benefit of restructuring and downsizing activities and cost
saving initiatives undertaken during or subsequent to the nine months
ended September 30, 2009;
- lower restructuring and downsizing costs;
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities; and
- lower warranty costs.
These factors were partially offset by:
- higher affiliation fees paid to corporate;
- employee profit sharing, as no profit sharing was recorded in 2009;
- higher incentive compensation;
- increased commodity costs; and
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.
Europe
EBIT in Europe increased $295 million to $98 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to a loss of $197 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 substantially due to increased margins earned on higher sales as a result of significantly higher vehicle production volumes. In addition, EBIT was positively impacted by:
- favourable settlement of certain commercial items;
- incremental margin earned related to the acquisition of Cadence;
- a $10 million recovery, during the first nine months 2010, of
receivables that had a $13 million accounts receivable valuation
allowance recorded in the third quarter of 2009;
- lower restructuring and downsizing costs;
- the benefit of restructuring and downsizing activities and cost
saving initiatives undertaken during or subsequent to the nine months
ended September 30, 2009;
- the sale or closure of certain underperforming divisions subsequent
to the nine months ended September 30, 2009;
- lower costs incurred related to launches or for programs that have
not fully ramped up production; and
- productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities.
These factors were partially offset by:
- operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain facilities, in
particular at certain electronics, and exteriors and interiors
systems facilities;
- employee profit sharing, as no profit sharing was recorded in 2009;
- higher warranty costs;
- higher affiliation fees paid to corporate;
- increased commodity costs;
- higher incentive compensation; and
- net customer price concessions subsequent to the third quarter of
2009.
Rest of World
EBIT in Rest of World increased $51 million to $76 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $25 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Excluding the Rest of World unusual items discussed in the "Unusual Items" section, the $37 million increase in EBIT was primarily as a result of:
- additional margin earned on increased production sales; and
- incremental margin earned on new programs that launched during or
subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
E-Car Systems
E-Car Systems EBIT decreased $24 million to a loss of $52 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to a loss of $28 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of higher development and launch costs.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other EBIT increased $35 million to $22 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to a loss of $13 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of:
- the $33 million benefit of a commercial settlement with a customer
related to the recovery of previously expensed engineering and design
costs;
- an increase in affiliation fees earned from our divisions;
- the positive impact of foreign exchange; and
- an increase in equity income earned.
These factors were partially offset by:
- increased incentive compensation; and
- a $16 million stock-based compensation charge as a result of
modifying option agreements following the resignation of two
employees;
- a $9 million favourable revaluation of our investment in asset-backed
commercial paper in the third quarter of 2009; and
- increased stock-based compensation.

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: future purchases of Common Shares pursuant to our normal course issuer bid and any resultant offsetting of dilution. The forward-looking information in this document 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 volumes and sales levels which are below forecast levels; our dependence on outsourcing by our customers; the termination or non renewal by our customers of any material contracts; our ability to identify and successfully exploit shifts in technology; restructuring, downsizing and/or other significant non-recurring costs; impairment charges; our ability to successfully grow our sales to non-traditional customers; unfavourable product or customer mix; risks of conducting business in foreign countries, including China, India, Brazil, Russia and other developing markets; our ability to quickly shift our manufacturing footprint to take advantage of lower cost manufacturing opportunities; disruptions in the capital and credit markets; 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; the financial condition and credit worthiness of some of our OEM customers, including the potential that such customers may not make, or may seek to delay or reduce, payments owed to us; the financial condition of some of our suppliers and the risk of their insolvency, bankruptcy or financial restructuring; the highly competitive nature of the automotive parts supply business; product liability claims in excess of our insurance coverage; 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 laws and governmental regulations; costs associated with compliance with environmental laws and regulations; risks associated with our partnership with the Stronach group to pursue opportunities in the vehicle electrification business; 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, including, without limitation, factors set out in our Management Information Circular/Proxy Statement, dated May 31, 2010 under the heading "Risks Relating to the Vehicle Electrification Joint Venture." 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.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(All amounts in U.S. dollars and all tabular amounts in millions unless
otherwise noted)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. 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
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with
respect to the preparation of interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes
required in the preparation of annual financial statements and
therefore should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2009
audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the
Company's 2009 Annual Report. These interim consolidated financial
statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as
the December 31, 2009 annual consolidated financial statements.
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 September 30, 2010 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
Seasonality
Our businesses are generally not seasonal. However, our sales and
profits are closely related to our automotive customers' vehicle
production schedules. Our largest North American customers typically
halt production for approximately 2 weeks in July and one week in
December. Additionally, many of our customers in Europe typically
shutdown vehicle production during portions of August and one week in
December.
2. PLAN OF ARRANGEMENT
On August 31, 2010, following approval by the Class A Subordinate
Voting and Class B Shareholders of the Company, we completed the
court-approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") with the
Stronach group whereby the Company's dual-class share structure was
collapsed. The transaction also: (i) set a termination date and
declining fee schedule for the consulting, business development and
business services contracts Magna has in place with Frank Stronach
and his affiliated entities; and (ii) established a partnership with
the Stronach group to pursue opportunities in the vehicle
electrification business.
(a) Capital Transaction
The Company purchased for cancellation all 726,829 outstanding
Class B Shares, which were held indirectly by the Stronach
group, for $300 million in cash and 9.0 million newly issued
Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. The newly issued shares held
indirectly by the Stronach group represented an equal equity
ownership and voting interest of 7.4% as of August 31, 2010.
The costs related to the Arrangement were $13 million.
In addition, Magna's Articles were amended to remove the Class B
Shares from the authorized capital and to make non-substantive
consequential changes to its Articles, including renaming the
Class A Subordinate Voting Shares as Common Shares and
eliminating provisions which no longer apply due to the
elimination of the Class B Shares.
(b) Vehicle Electrification Partnership
The partnership involves the engineering, development and
integration of electric vehicles of any type, the development,
testing and manufacturing of batteries and battery packs for
hybrid (H) and electric vehicles (EV) and all ancillary
activities in connection with electric vehicle technologies.
Magna's original investment in the partnership included the
assets of the Company's recently established E-Car Systems
vehicle electrification and battery business unit, certain other
vehicle electrification assets, and $145 million in cash. On
August 31, 2010, the Stronach group invested $80 million in cash
for a 27% equity interest in the partnership, reducing Magna's
equity interest to 73%. The partnership is controlled by the
Stronach group.
The impact of the Arrangement on the consolidated balance sheet was

3. RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
(a) For the nine months ended September 30, 2010
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded
restructuring and rationalization costs of $21 million ($18
million after tax) in costs of goods sold and $3 million ($3
million after tax) in selling, general and administrative expense
related to the planned closure of a powertrain systems facility
and two body & chassis systems facilities in the United States.
(b) For the nine months ended September 30, 2009
During the second quarter of 2009, after failing to reach a
favourable labour agreement at a powertrain systems facility in
Syracuse, New York, the Company decided to wind down these
operations. Given the significance of the facility's cashflows in
relation to the reporting unit, management determined that it was
more likely than not that goodwill at its Powertrain North
America reporting unit could potentially be impaired. Therefore,
the Company recorded a $75 million goodwill impairment charge.
The goodwill impairment charge was calculated by determining the
implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the
Company had acquired the reporting unit as at June 30, 2009.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company recorded
restructuring costs of $6 million ($6 million after tax) in costs
of goods sold related to the planned closure of this powertrain
systems facility.

its Retiree Premium Reimbursement Plan in Canada and the United
States, such that most employees retiring on or after August 1,
2009 would no longer participate in the plan. The amendment
reduced service costs and retirement medical benefit expense in
2009 and future years. As a result of amending the plan, a
curtailment gain of $26 million was recorded in cost of goods
sold in the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.

(i) The exercise price noted above represents the weighted average
exercise price in Canadian dollars.
(ii) On August 19, 2010, options to acquire 121,500 Common Shares were
surrendered for cancellation in exchange for payment of the in-the-
money value of such options on such date. The aggregate in-the-money
value of the options surrendered was $4 million and was charged to
contributed surplus (note 10).
On August 12, 2009, following approval by the Company's Corporate
Governance and Compensation Committee and in accordance with the
Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan, the Company
granted stock appreciation rights ("SARs") to certain executives in
respect of 191,700 previously granted and unexercised stock options.
On August 14, 2009, 166,411 SARs were exercised and an equal number
of previously granted and unexercised stock options were surrendered
and cancelled. On exercise of the SARs, the executives received, in
aggregate, cash of $1 million, representing an amount equal to the
difference between the aggregate fair market value of the shares
covered by the surrendered options and the aggregate exercise price
of such surrendered options.
The weighted average assumptions used in measuring the fair value
of stock options granted and/or modified and the compensation
expense recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses
are as follows:
Three months Nine months
ended ended
September 30, September 30,
---------------- ----------------
2010 2009 2010 2009
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Risk free interest rate 2.00% - 2.27% 1.66%
Expected dividend yield 2.00% - 2.00% 2.05%
Expected volatility 35% - 35% 31%
Expected time until exercise 3 years - 4 years 4 years
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted average fair value
of options granted or
modified in period (Cdn$) $ 27.84 $ - $ 18.77 $ 7.20
-----------------------------------------------------------------
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, following
the resignation of two employees of the Company, option
agreements with these employees were modified, which resulted in
a one-time charge to compensation expense of $16 million. This
charge represents the fair value of the options at the date of
modification net of the originally measured compensation cost
which has been reversed.
Compensation expense recorded in selling, general and
administrative expenses during the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2010 was $23 million (2009 - $1 million), and
$33 million (2009 - $2 million), respectively.
(b) Long-term retention program
Information about the Company's long-term retention program is as
follows (number of shares in table below are expressed in whole

as a reduction of shareholder's equity $ 25 $ 30
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Compensation expense recorded in selling, general and
administrative expenses during the three and nine month periods

12. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES
The Company manages capital in order to ensure the Company has
adequate borrowing capacity and financial structure to allow
financial flexibility and to provide an adequate return to
shareholders. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure,
the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
issue shares, purchase shares for cancellation, or increase or
decrease the amount of debt outstanding.
The Company monitors capital using the ratio of debt to total
capitalization. Debt includes bank indebtedness and long-term debt as
shown in the consolidated balance sheets. Total capitalization
includes debt, minority interest and all components of shareholders'
equity.
The Company's capitalization and debt to total capitalization is as

(b) 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, income taxes
receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable, accrued salaries
and wages, other accrued liabilities and income taxes payable.
Due to the short period to maturity of the instruments, the
carrying values as presented in the consolidated balance sheets
are reasonable estimates of fair values.
Investments
At September 30, 2010, the Company held Canadian third party
asset-backed commercial paper ("ABCP") with a face value of
Cdn$127 million (December 31, 2009 - Cdn$134 million). The
carrying value and estimated fair value of this investment was
Cdn$84 million (December 31, 2009 - Cdn$88 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 September 30, 2010, the Company held an equity investment in
a publicly traded Company. The carrying value and fair value of
this investment was $16 million, which was based on the closing
share price of the investment on September 30, 2010.
Term debt
The Company's term debt includes $14 million due within one year.
Due to the short period to maturity of this debt, the carrying
value as presented in the consolidated balance sheet is a
reasonable estimate of its fair value.
(c) Credit risk
The Company's financial assets that are exposed to credit risk
consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, long-term receivables, 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 the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2010, sales to the Company's six
largest customers represented 75% and 79% of the Company's total
sales, respectively, and substantially all of our sales are to
customers in which the Company has ongoing contractual
relationships.
(d) Currency risk
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 employs hedging
programs, primarily through the use of foreign exchange forward
contracts.
As at September 30, 2010, the net foreign exchange exposure was
not material.
(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 our 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 instruments as the interest rates on these
instruments are fixed.
14. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
As a result of the completion of the Arrangement, the Company's
E-Car business began to be managed as a separate operating group.
Accordingly, the company's segmented reporting has been amended to reflect
this change.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
(a) Stock Split
Our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split, to be
implemented by way of a stock dividend, whereby shareholders of
the Company will receive an additional Common Share for each
Common Share held. The stock dividend will be payable on
November 24, 2010, to shareholders of record at the close of
business on November 16, 2010. All equity-based compensation
plans or arrangements and our normal course issuer bid (discussed
below) will be adjusted to reflect the issuance of additional
Common Shares due to the declaration of the stock split.
(b) Normal Course Issuer Bid
Subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), the Company's Board of
Directors approved a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to
4.0 million of the Company's Common Shares (adjusted to
8.0 million shares on a post stock split basis), representing
approximately 3.3% of the Company's outstanding Common Shares.
The primary purposes of the normal course issuer bid are
purchases for cancellation to offset potential dilution resulting
from the exercise of stock options, and/or for purchases to fund
the Company's restricted stock unit program and its obligations
to its deferred profit sharing plans. The normal course issuer
bid is expected to commence on or about November 10, 2010 and
will terminate one year later. All purchases of Common Shares
will be made at the market price at the time of purchase in
accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX. Purchases may
also be made on the NYSE in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the
U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
