Note 2:  NON-GAAP MEASURES
    The Company presents Adjusted EBIT (Earnings before interest, taxes, Other expense (income),net, and amortization of acquired intangible assets), Adjusted Net Income (Net Income before Other expense (income),net, net of tax excluding significant income tax valuation allowance adjustments, and amortization of acquired intangible assets), Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales, Adjusted Return on Invested Capital and Adjusted Return on Equity. Effective July 1, 2023, the Company revised its calculation of Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and Adjusted Return on Invested Capital to exclude the amortization of acquired intangibles assets. The Company presents these financial figures because such measures are widely used by analysts and investors in evaluating the operating performance of the Company.  However, such measures do not have any standardized meaning under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures by other companies. Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share presented in the tables below, including for the prior period, have been updated to reflect the revised calculation.

Q3 - 2023 RESULTS 5 Reminders All amounts are in U.S. Dollars Effective July 1, 2023 we revised our calculation of Non - GAAP measures to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets. The historical presentation of non - GAAP measures has also been updated to reflect the revised calculations. Today's discussion excludes the impact of other expense (income), net ("Unusual Items") and amortization of acquired intangible assets. "Organic", in the context of sales movements, means "excluding the impact of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures"

Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director Thank you, Louis . Good morning, everyone . I appreciate you all joining our call today as we share our third quarter earnings results . Before I share some of the details, I want to thank my team for their continued progress and solid results . So let's get started . Some key highlights to mention before I dive into the details . Our organic sales grew by 10 % year - over - year surpassing weighted production by 4 % , excluding complete vehicles and 2 % , including complete vehicles . Our third quarter showcased strong operating performance with higher organic sales once again contributing to robust earnings that represented a significant improvement year - over - year . We continue to benefit from our activities in operational excellence and cost containments leading to improved margins . We have raised our 2023 adjusted EBIT margin and adjusted net income outlook ranges for 2023 , demonstrating solid operating performance even with the negative impact of the UAW strike in the third and fourth quarters . And we recently announced our commitment to achieving net zero across Magna by 2050 . Our industry continues to experience incremental improvements, including reduced supply constraints, stronger and more stable production schedules and resilient auto sales in a number of markets . However, the global economy continues to face some interlocking challenges, including continuing elevated labor inflation, higher interest rates, geopolitical risks and slowing economic growth . These challenges are impacting our entire industry . In North America, the (inaudible) experienced UAW labor stoppages for about 6 weeks, which cost the industry approximately 220 , 000 units . The UAW has now reached tentative agreements with all 3 OEMs, which need to be ratified . Our outlook reflects the full extent of the strike . We remain highly focused on containing costs and improving our margins . This is being achieved through ongoing operational improvement and cost recovery initiatives as well as executing flawless launches across Magna . At our virtual investor event in September, we provided an update on the progress of our go - forward strategy . Our ongoing investments in mega - trend areas are driving significant growth over the coming years, including 35 - plus percent in powertrain electrification, 75 - plus percent in battery enclosures and 45 - plus percent in active safety . Most importantly, our portfolio is substantially aligned with the Car of the Future, which we expect to drive sales growth regardless of the pace of powertrain electrification . Where possible, we are working to mitigate risks, including by installing capital in tranches and employing different cost sharing models with our customers . At the same time, we have been accelerating our activities around operational excellence to ensure we remain at the forefront of manufacturing and exceeding our customers' expectations in all areas . We expect about 150 basis points of margin expansion from our collective efforts here, including about half that amount this year . And we are leveraging capabilities that already exist within Magna to unlock opportunities with new models and markets as they develop . It is early days for us in this area, but we have already had some traction . We have experienced 5 x growth in battery swaps in our Battery as a Service venture and are experiencing about 1 , 000 deliveries a day utilizing Magna produced parts . We expect about $ 300 million in New Mobility Sales by 2027 with a significant runway for additional profitable growth beyond that . We expect our strategy to deliver continued growth above market, improved margins and returns and further shift in our portfolio towards mega - trend areas . This should drive increased shareholder value in the years to come . We also took a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainability, and environmental stewardship by submitting net zero emission targets for validation by the science - based targets initiative, with a goal to achieve net zero by 2050 , together with meeting our near - term Scope 1 , 2 and 3 targets by 2030 . Among the steps involved in meeting this target is transitioning to 100 % renewable electricity use in our European operations by 2025 and globally by 2030 . We have already made progress towards previously established sustainability actions . This year, we are on track to achieve our commitment to reduce global energy intensity by 10 % in all manufacturing facilities with a target of 20 % reduction by 2027 and more than 30 Magna divisions have achieved carbon neutrality over the last 2 years . With that, I'll pass the call over to Pat .

Patrick W . D . McCann - Magna International Inc . - Executive VP & CFO Thanks, Swamy, and good morning, everyone . As Swamy indicated, once again, we delivered strong earnings this past quarter despite the onset of the UAW strike in September . Comparing the third quarter of 2023 to ' 22 , consolidated sales were $ 10 . 7 billion, up 15 % compared to a 4 % increase in global light vehicle production . Adjusted EBIT was $ 615 million and adjusted EBIT margin increased 90 basis points to 5 . 8 % . Adjusted EPS came in at $ 1 . 46 , up 33 % year - over - year and free cash flow generated in the quarter was $ 23 million compared to a $ 210 million use in the third quarter of ' 22 . Despite our higher capital spend this quarter to support record program awards in ' 22 . During the quarter, we paid dividends of $ 128 million, and we increased our adjusted EBIT margin and earnings outlook despite the negative impact of the UAW strike . Let me take you through some of the details . North American and European light vehicle production were up 7 % and 14 % , respectively, while Chinese production declined 2 % , netting to a 4 % increase in global production . Our consolidated sales were $ 10 . 7 billion, up 15 % over the third quarter of ' 22 . On an organic basis, our sales also increased 10 % year - over - year for a 2 % growth over market or 4 % growth over market, excluding complete vehicles . The sales increase was primarily due to higher global vehicle production, the launch of new programs, adjustments to recover certain higher input costs, the acquisition of Veoneer Active Safety, net of the divestiture of our manual transmissions plant in Europe and the net strengthening of currencies against the U . S . dollar . These are partially offset by lower Complete Vehicle sales, mainly due to a program changeover and an estimated $ 55 million impact from the UAW strike . Adjusted EBIT was $ 615 million and adjusted EBIT margin was 5 . 8 % compared to 4 . 9 % in the third quarter of ' 22 . Our continued focus on operational excellence and performance on cost initiatives is driving strong earnings on higher sales . This was despite the negative impact of a program changeover in Complete Vehicles, the UAW strike, which we estimate cost us about 10 basis points and acquisitions net of divestitures . Combined, we generated 40 basis points of net improvements . Adjusted EBIT margin was also positively impacted by about 60 basis points of net operational items, which include productivity and efficiency improvements at certain facilities and lower net engineering costs, about 50 basis points related to lower net input costs and higher equity income which benefited margin by about 15 basis points . EBIT margin was negatively impacted by commercial items that had a net unfavorable impact in the quarter, which subtracted about 75 basis points year - over - year . Interest expense increased primarily reflecting senior notes issued and borrowings in the first half of the year as well as higher interest rates . Our adjusted effective income tax rate came in at 21 . 9 % , largely in line with our ' 23 expectations but lower than Q 3 of last year . Adjusted net income attributable to Magna was $ 419 million, up 32 % over the third quarter of ' 22 , reflecting higher EBIT and the lower tax rate, partially offset by higher interest expense and minority interest . Adjusted diluted EPS was $ 1 . 46 , up 33 % compared to Q 3 last year . This increase is the result of higher net income and fewer shares outstanding to reduce number of shares outstanding substantially reflect the impact of share purchases in 2022 . Turning to a review of our cash flows and investment activities . In the third quarter of ' 23 , we generated $ 821 million in cash from operations before changes in working capital, up $ 230 million or 39 % from ' 22 and we invested $ 24 million in working capital . Investment activities in the quarter included $ 630 million for fixed assets and $ 176 million for investments, other assets and intangibles . As expected, CapEx was higher than the $ 364 million in Q 3 last year to support our record program awards in 2022 . Overall, we generated free cash flow of $ 23 million in the third quarter . We also paid $ 128 million in dividends . Our balance sheet continues to be strong with investment - grade ratings from the major credit agencies . At the end of Q 3 , we had over $ 4 . 5 billion in liquidity, including about $ 1 billion of cash . Currently, our adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio is 2 . 02 . Excluding cash we're holding to help pay down our EUR 550 million senior notes coming due in the fourth quarter, our ratio would be 1 . 98 . This ratio continues to decline and is tracking better than we're expected at the end of last quarter as a result of our improved operating results . We anticipate a reduction of our leverage ratio by the end of this year and a further decline through 2024 .

Next, I will cover our updated outlook, which incorporates higher than previously expected vehicle production in both Europe and China, including as a result of better production in Q 3 . Our assumption for production in North America is unchanged from our previous outlook as stronger - than - expected production was offset by the impact of the UAW strike . We have not assumed any lost [D 3 ] production is made up in the fourth quarter . We also assume exchange rates in our outlook will approximate current rates . We now expect a slightly weaker EUR, CAD and RMB for 2023 relative to our previous outlook . We have narrowed our expected sales range with essentially the same midpoint as our last outlook . This mainly reflects higher European and Chinese vehicle production in the second half of ' 23 , offset by the net stronger U . S . dollar relative to our last outlook and the estimated $ 310 million impact of the UAW strike . We communicated last quarter that beginning in Q 3 , Magna's adjusted EBIT would exclude the amortization of all acquired intangibles . Our August outlook excluded our estimate of the amortization intangibles associated with the acquisition of Veoneer Active Safety, about $ 30 million for half of ' 23 . Our final analysis of all other acquisitions resulted in about $ 50 million of additional annual amortization to be excluded from our adjusted EBIT calculation . This additional adjustment amounts to approximately 10 basis points in EBIT margin . We have updated our historical presentation of adjusted EBIT to reflect these revised calculations . As a result of our strong performance so far in ' 23 , our expectations for continued operational execution and despite the negative impact of the UAW strike which we estimate to be between 10 and 15 basis points, we have narrowed and raised our adjusted EBIT margin . We now expect our EBIT margin for ' 23 to be in the range of 5 . 1 % to 5 . 4 % , which compares to 4 . 9 % to 5 . 3 % previously, adjusted by the 10 basis points to reflect amortization of all acquired intangibles . We're increasing our equity income range, mainly reflecting our better - than - forecasted performance in Q 3 . As a result of increasing our adjusted EBIT margin range, we are also raising our range for adjusted net [income] attributable to Magna . Our interest expense, tax rate, capital spending and free cash flow expectations are all unchanged from our last outlook . In summary, we are pleased with our strong operating performance in the third quarter . Once again, we outgrew our end markets by 2 % on a consolidated basis as a percent, excluding Complete Vehicles . We raised our outlook for 2023 , and we have continued confidence in our plans for margin expansion for the years to come . Thank you for your attention . We will be happy to answer your questions . QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Operator (Operator Instructions) And with this, with our first question on the line from Chris McNally with Evercore . Christopher Patrick McNally - Evercore ISI Institutional Equities, Research Division - Senior MD Thanks so much, team . I appreciate all the detail . Maybe we could start with the -- obviously, the big topic of the week is around EV demand . And maybe just kind of just level set, just remind us your exposure, particularly in powertrain, you have $ 800 million and last year growing to -- I think it's (inaudible) this year, you have parts of -- of, I think, $ 4 billion out in the out years . What percentage is maybe pure EV versus 48 - volt and hybrid, that would be helpful?

And then just a pace on battery enclosures, which is obviously a new growth area . Just sort of anything around ' 23 , ' 24 , again, you've given longer - term targets? And just remind us maybe some of the programs or geographic exposure? Those are the big questions I think that you'll probably get several times in the queue from the rest of the analysts . So maybe we can start there . Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director Chris, we will try to address the different aspects of the questions . I think from an EV perspective, just generally to address macro, we've always said electrification is a (inaudible) irreversible trend and it's here to stay but the question was going to be the predictability of the take rates, right? How soon is it going to come? So it's basically the very long tale, and it's still very early days of electrification . Also, if you look at the last 3 or 4 years, as we talked about electrification, we have generally said that global penetration will be somewhere in the mid - 30 s in percentage by 2030 . Given those circumstances, our policy or our call it strategy has been to look at the volumes by program, by customer, look at external sources, IHS and our own internal volume predictions, and have been using that to come up with the numbers that you talked about . In the past, like not just related to EV, right, the volume uncertainty has been there on every program if you go back a few decades . And we have a mechanism to go through that in our own planning process and how we put the capital forward, how we plan scalability and modularity but beyond that, even have the discussions with the customers when there is a significant change in volumes . But all that said, a few questions specifically that you asked about, in electrification of powertrain specifically, we talked about $ 3 billion in 2025 managed sales and about $ 4 billion during our Investor Day in 2027 . And when we talk about those numbers, we've always taken into account the mechanism that I talked about of coming up with our own volumes, looking at multiple sources, looking at the take rates, which I would say are a little bit more conservative than what the customers and the markets have been talking, right? So that's one piece . On the battery enclosure side, I think, Louis, we are in the $ 300 million, $ 400 million this year . And we were talking about $ 1 . 6 billion by 2025 . And there, we talked about the product line where we are using existing assets, whether it's castings or exclusions or stampings, taxes and so on . And their dedicated assembly lines are considered pulling, which are paid by the customer, right? So that continues, and that is also a strategic product in the sense that when you look at the frames and the underbody and so on, we see a path going forward, and we talked about the analogy to the frames in the past, where we did in the late ' 90 s, and we continue to do the third and fourth generation of the same product today . So this is a long - term play, and we feel pretty good about that . I know I tried to address different aspects of the question . Did I miss anything there? Christopher Patrick McNally - Evercore ISI Institutional Equities, Research Division - Senior MD And the 48 - volt... Louis Tonelli - Magna International Inc. - VP of IR Just under 1/4 of our sales in '27. Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc. - CEO & Director That managed sales number.

Christopher Patrick McNally - Evercore ISI Institutional Equities, Research Division - Senior MD And then what about plug - in as well? Because obviously, there's definitely more of a concern around Pure EV than plug - in has sort of continued? There is a decent amount of PHEV, right, in your high - voltage for powertrain as well . Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director Yes . I think most of our -- if you look at the general sales, overall powertrain, at significant pace, I think, is in the 48 - volt substantially in the hybrids . There is a product line that we talked about in the PHEVs, but it's predominantly in 48 - volts, which could be applied to the PHEV part of it and pure EV switches in the e - drives . Christopher Patrick McNally - Evercore ISI Institutional Equities, Research Division - Senior MD Okay . And then the only last bit of detail within battery enclosures, since it's new, and obviously, there is one large platform that you discussed a win on . How diversified if I look through 2025 , is that sort of $ 1 . 6 billion? Are we talking a handful of OEMs? Or is it 5 or 5 to 8 ? Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director So I think we are talking about 8 OEMs, Chris . We are talking over years that's included in the projections that we mentioned in the figures, that's 8 OEMs . Louis Tonelli - Magna International Inc . - VP of IR And that's global . Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director And it's global . Christopher Patrick McNally - Evercore ISI Institutional Equities, Research Division - Senior MD That's great . And if I could just squeeze one last one on pricing recoveries . Obviously, we've talked so much about EVs over the last week that we kind of forgot about the older issues that we all used to talk about on Q 2 . Could you talk about the pace of recoveries, how it's going? Maybe just what's left in terms of could this be an extended tailwind into ' 24 , because obviously you get the annualization of any price recoveries you've gotten in the second half? Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director We've been disclosing, I would say, the net impacts rather than specific amounts, right? And if you look at the certain costs in energy have declined, there is a improving trend in commodities in certain cases . And I would say we are on track to obtain the recoveries necessary to meet our outlook . Maybe a little bit of color . We talked about the $ 100 million at the beginning of the year as headwinds . And in our last call, we talked about that being reduced to $ 50 million . And as we stand here today, we are at 0 . That means the $ 100 million has been brought down to 0 , but we continue our discussions and the focus still remains, right, on all the things, whether it is operational excellence, whether it is looking at every program and continuing discussions with customers, not specific only to ' 23 , we have always talked about looking at it holistically from ' 22 and even going forward planning into ' 24 .

Operator We'll proceed with our next question on the line . It is from Mark Delaney with Goldman Sachs . Mark Trevor Delaney - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc . , Research Division - Equity Analyst First, as you guys are thinking about your prior target to reach profitability in mega - trend areas in 2025 , as you're seeing some of the traditional OEMs revisit the radar ramps around EVs and including some in North America, where you've disclosed wins . Do you still think you can reach that profitability target in 2025 ? And if so, are you contemplating having to make some changes in order to still get there? Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director Mark . Yes, when we talk about the mega - trend areas, it's not purely electrification . Part of it is ADAS also and other products that are included in there . We have to go through the customer changes in the road map, if any, as we are going through the plan right now . But I would say we have, in some cases, had call it, different business models, which are kind of tied, not completely tied to volumes . But I can give you an example this year on one program where there was a change in volume, we had a commercial settlement, right? And in some cases, we are looking at models where the capital inlay is put forward by the customer related to [NAV] program . So there are multiple ways we are looking at it to mitigate or minimize risk, obviously, cannot take all the risk away . We've been doing this, but I think this is a little bit more deliberate and more proactive when we talk about the EV platforms . But I think we'll be able to give more color when we come back in February for the outlook . Patrick W . D . McCann - Magna International Inc . - Executive VP & CFO And I think, Mark, when we talk about the mega - trends, there is a big improvement in the ADAS business, specifically as we start launching these programs, and that's regardless whether it were distributed across ICE and EVs in that space . So you're expensing significant engineering today . And as those revenues launch, we should have a lot of contribution margin dropping to the bottom line . So it's really not just an EV explanation into ' 25 . Mark Trevor Delaney - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc . , Research Division - Equity Analyst Very helpful . And in terms of the updated EBIT margin guide, you're taking up your margin guidance on pretty similar revenue and despite the UAW strike headwind that you're now having to overcome . You gave us a number of metrics around various puts and takes, but maybe just level set us and summarize a bit what's driving the better EBIT margin despite some of these headwinds? And is there anything unusual that you would say that's more temporal helping the margins in the second half of this year? Or do you think this is (inaudible) of the profit potential and gives you guys some good momentum towards the at least 230 bps of margin expansion by 2025 that you'd previously talked about? Patrick W . D . McCann - Magna International Inc . - Executive VP & CFO I can start and Swamy jump in . When you look at the -- I think, guide to guide, we're really just executing where we expect it to be . Volumes have come in a little bit stronger . If you look on an annual basis, we've said from -- since beginning of February that we're going to improve our margins as we go through the year, and that was driven by launches, some changeovers, but also just the timing of recoveries of our commercial settlements . I think we're tracked on that plan . The one change, I would say, since February really has been the execution on the operational front that we're exceeding our targets for NOVEMBER 03, 2023 / 12:00PM, MG.TO - Q3 2023 Magna International Inc Earnings Call 8 REFINITIV STREETEVENTS | www.refinitiv.com | Contact Us ©2023 Refinitiv.

whether it's cost recoveries or cost containment and our acceleration of our improvement plans . I think that's the big drive . And that's what's given us confidence . We're reiterating what we said in September that we have confidence in our ' 25 numbers . Louis Tonelli - Magna International Inc. - VP of IR And we're taking our input cost down . We said there was going to be a headwind of 50 last time around saying it's basically neutral now . So that's another contributor to the outlook to outlook improvement . Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc. - CEO & Director Yes . In summary, I would say, Pat, we -- there is not any temporal topic that has added to the expansion, but it's just operational excellence and the great trend of the materials and energy . Patrick W. D. McCann - Magna International Inc. - Executive VP & CFO Correct. Operator We'll proceed with our next question on the line from Gautam Narayan with RBC. Gautam Narayan - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Assistant VP The first one, I'm sorry, I missed this in the prepared comments . Could you review the UAW impact on just their absolute revenue and EBIT impact that you -- or EBITDA or EBIT impact that you've (inaudible) far or you expect in ' 23 first? Patrick W. D. McCann - Magna International Inc. - Executive VP & CFO Yes . Tom, it's Pat . So just a level set, our Q 3 impact was $ 55 million in sales, about 10 basis points on margin . Q 4 , we're estimating an additional about $ 255 million for a full year basis, $ 310 million of sales with an impact of 10 to 15 basis points on our guide . Gautam Narayan - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Assistant VP Okay . I mean, obviously, the next question is on the EV side . So I guess the question has to do with how orders work -- the order book works? We saw some commentary yesterday from a couple of suppliers, suggesting maybe some caution on the order book . Just curious in terms of how susceptible or how would -- how concerning could cancellations be should this downturn get more severe or "EV slowdown" gets severe? Just I mean, do you have a lot of visibility on the orders . It's a situation of like 50 % growth going to 30 % growth, so you have enough inertia to help you . Just trying to get a sense of the visibility on the order book around electrification . Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director Tom, as we look at it, it's -- we haven't really seen any cancellations . And as I mentioned to one of the previous question, if there is a volume change in terms of the planning . It is a discussion that we have with the customer . And I wouldn't say we have seen anything significant, maybe on I think that might at one point that might help . If you look at just non - electrification but all content on EV platforms, we are in single digits as a percent of sales, right, in 2023 . Going out to 2025 , maybe 1 / 5 of our business roughly is connected to EV platforms .

But again, I want to reiterate . We always look at volume planning from our perspective based on customer, based on platform, based on segment of the vehicle, looking at anxious data and other sources . So there is a, call it, the Magna volume that we have to have a judgment on . That's one aspect of it . The other one, like I said, look, even on ICE, there are several programs which don't hit the volumes that we predicted . And we have mechanisms to have those discussions with their customers . This is besides having capital outlay in tranches, having flexible manufacturing so that we can flex as the volumes change obviously within reason . And there are some cases where the volumes are up . So it's a complex, variable equation here, but we've had this with customers . And there is a little bit of uncertainty, and that's where I said, in some cases, the models on EV platforms, the customer has come forward with the capital . And some, we already had settlement, where the volumes change significantly . And in some cases, we are looking at the same product where the platform has both ICE and EV . So depending on which does better, there is a little bit of an edge . So there's a lot of these things that we look at it from our planning perspective to again mitigate risk, not completely, but it gives us enough comfort . Gautam Narayan - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Assistant VP Okay . And another thing that we heard yesterday was that there seems to be this kind of divergence of opinion on this EV decline story geographically with a lot of Americans, let's say, thinking that we're in this Armageddon scenario . And then over in Europe, it's kind of an opposite view . Just curious in terms of your OEM exposure on to EV specifically investment . Does that -- is that something that's pretty geographically balanced? Or how would you characterize that your EV kind of exposure to geographically on OEMs? Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director Yes . I think generally, if you look at it, our overall sales, we are about 60 % or so in North America and about 35 % in Europe and the rest in other but predominantly China . And we have said from a reasonable perspective, the electrification take rates are higher in China, followed by Europe, followed by North America . But Tom, this is very specific on platforms . We have to not just look overall to a weak segment . It's a little bit of a judgment to say when we have relationships with the customer where we are having reasonable conversations in terms of business models, which platform . A lot of that comes in rather than a generic view on region by region . Gautam Narayan - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Assistant VP Got it . Yes . My last one is just on that other topic, the price/mix topic . Obviously, the OEMs benefited on the way up in the past 3 years . And if we do get a normalization in price mix, one of the fears is that potentially the OEMs could go to suppliers and ask for price downs . How has that happened historically in the past? Is it that you guys typically benefit on volume recovery regardless if price/mix is coming down for your OEM customers? Or do they have the ability to squeeze you guys as price/mix comes down? Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director Yes . Those conversations have never been easy . And like you said, even when they were doing well in the last 3 years, I would say the conversations still were not easy . But I can say that we talked about various things and recoveries, looking at underperforming programs coming to an end . Input cost inflation, whether it was semiconductors or others . They were tough conversations, and I talked about getting the headwinds to be neutralized this year . All I can say is they will continue to be . They recognize that we have been living in this tough environment of inflation and chip shortages and supply constraints over the last 3 years . So we already have been living in that, right? So I think we are not going to change our thinking process to be speaking objectively with data . We have hands - on conversations, but I would say they were fair and cordial .

Operator We'll get our next question on the line . It is from Dan Levy with Barclays . Dan Meir Levy - Barclays Bank PLC, Research Division - Senior Analyst I wanted to just follow up on the last -- on the last question . And specifically, the commercial recoveries in the quarter, just any color was that at all, was it retroactive? Is it piece price? Just any color on what the recoveries were in the quarter that you saw? Magnitude as well . Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director I think we talked about it again, net impact other than growth, and I talked about the $ 100 million, right? And there's a complexity of talking productivity versus inflation recoveries and a whole bunch of other things . I would say about 2 / 3 of the recoveries in general are more related to flow - through purchase orders indexing and so on that would continue going forward and about roughly 1 / 3 or onetime, right? So the ones that are more mechanism - based, whether getting on an index or purchase orders and so on and so forth will flow - through into the following years . And the conversation of the onetime depends on, for example, energy and where they are versus what the recovery needs to be . So it's kind of a mix . Patrick W . D . McCann - Magna International Inc . - Executive VP & CFO And Dan, if I can just add . When you compare it to our expectations, we didn't have a win on recoveries or commercial in our guidance . Really, when we're talking about our increase on net inflation to pick up, it's related to last year on the commercial side . And we've been guiding all year that we had roughly a 45 basis point headwind related to commercial issues, and that's what's coming through . Dan Meir Levy - Barclays Bank PLC, Research Division - Senior Analyst Okay . And then just the second, if you could maybe give us a sense of what's happening within the segment . And specifically, Seating, I know it doesn't get a lot of air time, but this is the best margin you posted in a while . So just any voice over on Seating? And then Complete Vehicles, we know that you said that there would be a changeover and that would try get negative margins, I don't think any of it expected . Maybe you could just give us a sense of when you get past this changeover and where those margins in Complete Vehicles should normalize to? Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director So I think, again, as we talk a little bit about Seating . I think we've been saying over the last few quarters and calls that we had really unfavorable mix in ' 22 . And with the chip supply getting better, we are seeing a more normalized volume on some of the big platforms that we have . And therefore, we see the flow - through materializing . And a lot needs to be set up both the team continuing to focus on executing as we had talked about various initiatives . So that's -- I'm glad we've been talking about Seating that it was a mix issue, and it is really showing now, right? I think you're right on the Complete Vehicles where we have said that the changeover and the launch cycle, it was impacting and it's still in line with the expectation that we have in that segment . And I think as we get past this year into the next year, we'll be able to give more color when we come back in February . But as we stand here today, I think it's tracking to what we expect . Operator We'll proceed with our next question on the line from Colin Langan with Wells Fargo .

Colin M . Langan - Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Research Division - Senior Equity Analyst If I look at the implied second half margin, it's around 5 . 6 % , which is clearly above your full year guidance -- full year outlook . Should we be thinking of that as the right sort of jumping off point as we go into ' 24 ? Or you kind of mentioned that there's sort of a cadence of recoveries? So is there sort of a little help from the recoveries in the first half that's helping that second half margin making it, sort of maybe not a good base to be thinking about? Patrick W . D . McCann - Magna International Inc . - Executive VP & CFO I think when you look at the second half, you're correct, but this is what we have been expecting that as we get through the back half of the year, the recovery is going to be more back half loaded . As we move into -- and as Swamy said earlier, we're still comfortable with where we're going in our ' 25 projections . And we're in the middle of our BP process, but we do have to get through volumes and assumptions and whatnot . But coming in, do we expect to have a reduction in margins to ' 24 ? No . Do we think we can launch from the mid - 5 s upwards? I agree with that . Colin M . Langan - Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Research Division - Senior Equity Analyst Okay . Got it . And then -- you mentioned before you -- so how should we think about the cadence as we go into next year? Because it sounds like you still have 1 / 3 of your recoveries might need to get renegotiated in some form . So does that mean there's going to be the sort of continued sort of tougher Q 1 until you get those recoveries? Or is this becoming more of an automatic formula because if certain conditions are met, you can kind of just get them January 1 . Louis Tonelli - Magna International Inc . - VP of IR I think it's way too early to comment on cadence in 2024. We need to get through our planning process and we'll have a bit of sense for that. Colin M. Langan - Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Research Division - Senior Equity Analyst I guess I was trying to get at maybe like how it normally works? Does -- do you have to start those negotiations at the beginning of next year again? Or is it more of a -- trying to understand the triggers that would help you get those recoveries for that whatever is not locked into piece price . Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc. - CEO & Director So Colin, I think, like I said, the one that is in a mechanism basis that kind of flows through, but the other will be data based on where our set of assumptions are in terms of energy and commodities and so on, right? So that will be a very fact based . So some conversations for ' 24 are already on the table to the extent that we know the information . And if you remember in the last 2 calls, I said it's -- when we talk ' 23 , it's not just only ' 23 . Some of it is ' 22 and some of it is forward - looking to think about what ' 24 would look like . But like Louis said, that will become more definitive once we finish our set of assumptions and have the plan in front of us . Operator We'll proceed with our next question on the line from Joseph Spak with UBS Securities.

Joseph Robert Spak - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Former Autos and Leisure Analyst Maybe a little bit of housekeeping just to start because I'm a little bit confused on the amortization color you provided . Like we just did your prior guidance by about 10 basis points, which suggests about $ 40 million . But then when I look in the quarter, it looks like you added back $ 32 million in the quarter . So how do we square that because it doesn't seem like that, was the amortization like abnormally high in this quarter? Like why would it step down? Like and maybe you could just give us a better sense of sort of what you think -- what the full year amortization was last year or this year? And what the right run rate is going forward so we can properly adjust our models? Patrick W . D . McCann - Magna International Inc . - Executive VP & CFO Yes . So on the amortization, so we're trying to get an apples - and - apples comparison . So what we've done, when you look at our financial reporting that will come out today, it's very clearly listed on our analyst report on our financials . But just specifically to the numbers, when we guided in August, we said $ 30 million for half a year for Veoneer . So Veoneer is about $ 60 million of an impact annually . When we did our final scrub of all the other acquisitions that we had out there on an annual basis, there's approximately another $ 50 million that is going to flow through . So on an annual basis for the next couple of years, it's going to ebb and flow as stuff rolls off, but you're in that $ 110 million range -- and last year would have been about 50 - 50 . Joseph Robert Spak - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Former Autos and Leisure Analyst So it's $ 50 million and going forward, it's one time . Patrick W . D . McCann - Magna International Inc . - Executive VP & CFO Correct . And this year would be [ 80 - 80 ] . Joseph Robert Spak - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Former Autos and Leisure Analyst Right . So then -- the -- I know you think you said year - over - year sort of prior year, maybe this is in the document and you sort of get a chance to look through, but like as we think about fourth quarter, is the -- what's sort of the right jumping off point for the new measure of adjusted EBIT? Is it like that seem like $ 11 million or $ 11 million or so that we need to add back to the fourth quarter? Louis Tonelli - Magna International Inc . - VP of IR Yes . $ 11 million relative to what we said last quarter because we basically would have implied $ 15 million . So about $ 11 million is what we would have incremental to what we said last quarter . Joseph Robert Spak - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Former Autos and Leisure Analyst Okay . The second question is if we look at BES margins like implied in the fourth quarter, and you look at your full year guidance for segment, there's a step down . I know that, that segment has been performing better year - to - date in part, I think, with some better performance at some of those underperforming facilities . But how much of that step down is strike related because I know there's some big customers there . How much of it is maybe a little bit of a push out from the battery enclosures business? And I guess related to the battery enclosures but I know you've made sort of big CapEx investment . Is there anything to sort of maybe slow or retime some of that spend? Or is this something you just need to invest through?

Patrick W . D . McCann - Magna International Inc . - Executive VP & CFO Yes . So I think there's 2 parts to the question . So I'll start with the first one . So from Q 3 into Q 4 , you're correct . The impact of the strike at the UAW business higher in the fourth quarter relative to the third . So that's a drag on margins . The other issue, or not issue, is just a fact as we continue to launch business, we tend to launch business more in the fourth quarter relative to the third . So that's dragging margins . But that would have been as expected . This is really a change from guidance to guidance, and that's reflected in our increased guidance range for BES for the full year . On the second part of the question related to battery trade . Battery trades really aren't dragging the margin in the sense that most of the spend in the battery trade space is related to capital and it gets put onto the balance sheet . As far as timing of spend, we're sequencing our capital as required -- just to be clear, we're not in a situation of building something and waiting for business to happen . We have facilities and we're scaling the build related to the customers' production plan . So we're scaling our capital as needed . As Swamy said earlier, those plans change . We're going to adapt as well so that we can delay our spend to the amount needed or as necessary . But we have to push forward in this space, but it's not really a margin impact related to this year . Louis Tonelli - Magna International Inc . - VP of IR Yes . I would just add, in terms of the UAW strike, it is a little more weighted not only Q 4 versus Q 3 , but a little more weighted to BES, so the other segments . So I think that's dragging . If you look at our implied fourth quarter, it really didn't change that much . So it isn't really sales it has impacted really in any one segment, all that meaningfully . It's really just the -- waiting and the UAW strike, I think in that BES . Joseph Robert Spak - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Former Autos and Leisure Analyst So is it like something that a need handle, a better underlying rate for that business at this point if we sort of back out some elevated launch activity in the fourth quarter and the strike? Louis Tonelli - Magna International Inc. - VP of IR Well, I mean, we're applying kind of a range of 5% to 6.5% for the fourth quarter, right? Joseph Robert Spak - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Former Autos and Leisure Analyst Right. But I thought you mentioned there's some unusual stuff in the fourth quarter, right, at least the strike? Louis Tonelli - Magna International Inc. - VP of IR Yes. I mean we're not going to comment on where we're expecting to go beyond this, we'll give more color on I think in February. Operator We'll get to our next question on the line. It is from James Picariello from BNP Paribas. James Albert Picariello - BNP Paribas Exane, Research Division - Research Analyst Just back on the Seating business . So I know you guys don't provide a backlog, but of course, you have one . One of your competitors -- and also back on the EV topic . One of your competitors, they stated that their new business backlog, about 80 % of it, for next year was tied to EV programs . And they went ahead and cut that backlog contribution for next year by 20 % just based on their perceived visibility or real visibility in what those NOVEMBER 03, 2023 / 12:00PM, MG.TO - Q3 2023 Magna International Inc Earnings Call 14 REFINITIV STREETEVENTS | www.refinitiv.com | Contact Us ©2023 Refinitiv.

EV build schedules look like . So -- just curious what your EV program mix in the new business draw for the coming years? What that could look like in the Seating business? And if any other major product categories that are, of course, power trade agnostic come to mind in terms of this EV exposure? Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director I think one of the things I mentioned overall, if you look at Magna this year, right, like all content or total sales related to EV platforms is less than 10 % , right? And if you look at the specific question, I think you're talking about in Seating, I think Louis, picked content for us on EV platforms today in Seating is not material . So we don't see that impact obviously going forward into the outer years, which is too premature to comment, right, in terms of volumes . Because given the type of operations and so on, in outer years as we launch, I think we'll have to recalibrate with the customers if there is a significant change . Again, going back to my previous comments, we'll work with them to see how we need to recalibrate and what needs to be really put in place if there is a substantial change . James Albert Picariello - BNP Paribas Exane, Research Division - Research Analyst Okay . Understood . And then just one quick one on the LG powertrain JV . Yes, as we think about the targeted revenue ramp to $ 1 . 5 billion or $ 1 . 6 billion, whatever the number is over the coming years, just in terms of the customer, regional mix of that joint venture, what that looks like? Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director Yes . I think we were roughly talking about $ 1 billion this year, Louis, right? And if you look at it, the customer mix is between North America and we are getting into Europe, right? And it is on programs that have been already there . And obviously, some will be going forward and launching . And this is what I would call [limblock] which is like the e - machine and the inverter which are like a platform . And we think not specific only to a program . There is a certain amount of specificity to a program, but there is also a generalized asset, which applies to machines in general . So I think there is a certain amount of flexible as we talk about the manufacturing and the engineering related to this and it's not tied to one program . So again, going back to this is where we talked about flexibility there . Again, we'll have to look at the numbers as we get from the customers if there is a substantial change . But as we sit here today and look at what's out there, we haven't seen a big drop or change, but we'll be able to update based on our plans coming back into February again . Operator And we'll proceed with our next question on the line from Jonathan Goldman from Scotiabank . Jonathan Goldman - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division - Associate So just a quick one on the macro . I believe your previous North American production outlook did not factor in the impact from strikes . So if we strip out the impact that you're projecting, your underlying production out would be up from previous expectations? Can you just discuss what you're seeing in the macro environment that supports the relatively better outlook?

Patrick W . D . McCann - Magna International Inc . - Executive VP & CFO Yes, exactly . So when we guided in August, we guided x . We didn't assume any UAW or uniform issues at 15 . 2 million units . Our estimate is that we lost 220 , 000 units as a result of the UAW labor disruptions, which would imply 15 . 4 million . Of the 15 . 4 million of the 200 million increase that primarily came through in the third quarter . Jonathan Goldman - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division - Associate On more new progress or product launches or market growth or any puts and takes there? Patrick W . D . McCann - Magna International Inc . - Executive VP & CFO Can you repeat the question? You just broke up a bit? Jonathan Goldman - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division - Associate Yes. So the incrementally positive market outlook, could you just discuss any puts and takes that you're seeing? Louis Tonelli - Magna International Inc. - VP of IR I just (inaudible) draws from our customers relative to what we were anticipating. Jonathan Goldman - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division - Associate Okay . Fair enough . And then another housekeeping one . You raised the margin guidance, but it looks like below the line items are flat and you maintained the free cash flow guidance for the year . Could you just help me bridge the delta there? Patrick W. D. McCann - Magna International Inc. - Executive VP & CFO Yes . I think the simple answer is that it's just a movement within the range . When you work through the math, we were comfortable holding the range where it was at . Jonathan Goldman - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division - Associate And there's nothing particularly going on with working cap or anything else? Louis Tonelli - Magna International Inc. - VP of IR No, exactly. Operator We'll get to our next question on the line from Michael Glen with Raymond James.

Michael W . Glen - Raymond James Ltd . , Research Division - Director Can you just talk a little bit about Power & Vision margins? Like what I'm just trying to understand is the sequential uptick from Q 2 into Q 3 , even excluding the amortization of intangible dynamic, like you're showing a pretty notable lift from Q 2 and Q 3 . Was Veoneer accretive to Power & Vision margin in the quarter? Just trying to figure out exactly what's behind the lift? Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director Michael, I think if you look at the first half, we had a warranty item and there was a net negative commercial item in the Q 2 , and there was higher engineering costs . So that's kind of some in the first half . If you look at the second half, and obviously, we also had net input costs, which were a headwind in the first half . So if you look at the higher sales in the second half and you take out all the onetimers, the warranty item, the higher engineering cost out that added to the bottom line, and the equity income was higher . Michael W . Glen - Raymond James Ltd . , Research Division - Director Okay . And Veoneer, any comments on the contribution of Veoneer in the quarter to EBIT -- Power & Vision EBIT? Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc . - CEO & Director I would say the comments that we gave in the last call that we are in line with the expectations that we had during closing with Veoneer, and we continue to have good traction to realize the synergies that we talked about . Michael W . Glen - Raymond James Ltd . , Research Division - Director Okay . And then what -- just in terms of North America, I know that this quarter, there is a strike and everything like that . But would you say performance this quarter was consistent? Like I'm trying to assess at the platform level and you identify your larger platforms each year in the AIF . Would you say there was a pickup in the quarter across some of the smaller programs that you have in North America? Or was it generally consistent with prior periods? As in are the larger and more profitable programs at the level you expected in the period? Louis Tonelli - Magna International Inc . - VP of IR To be completely honest, I don't have that in front of me, so it's really hard, but we don't look at it by region . So I'd have to look at it and see how we compares to what we see historically . I don't think there was anything notable that I can see in the quarter, but I'll look at it more closely . Operator And Mr. Kotagiri, there are no further questions at this time. I'll now turn the call back to you for any closing remarks. Seetarama Swamy Kotagiri - Magna International Inc. - CEO & Director Thanks, everyone, for listening in today . Happy with our continued progress in 2023 . We have a relentless focus on execution of our strategy and meeting our mid - and long - term targets . And we have ongoing confidence in our ability to meet our plans . Thank you, and have a great day . Operator And that does conclude the conference call for today. We thank you for your participation as you disconnect your lines. Have a good day, everyone.
