AURORA, Ontario, Feb. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Magna International Inc. (TSX: MG; NYSE: MGA) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

We posted sales of $10.8 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 2% over the fourth quarter of 2024. The higher sales largely reflects:

These factors were partially offset by:

Adjusted EBIT increased to $814 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $689 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to:

These factors were partially offset by:

Income from operations before income taxes declined to $114 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $381 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, which includes Other expense, net (2) and Amortization of acquired intangible assets totaling $658 million and $256 million in the fourth quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The most significant item in Other expense, net in the fourth quarter of 2025 was a non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge of $591 million (pre-tax) related to our Electronics reporting unit. The impairment charge was primarily due to lower than expected sales and declines in volume projections, as a result of changing industry dynamics and other factors. The most significant item in Other expense, net in the fourth quarter of 2024 was the positive impact of recognizing $196 million of Fisker deferred revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024 as the associated agreements were cancelled. Excluding Other expense, net and Amortization of acquired intangible assets from both periods, income from operations before income taxes increased $135 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, largely reflecting the increase in Adjusted EBIT.

Net (loss) income attributable to Magna International Inc. was a loss of $1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to income of $203 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding Other expense, net, after tax and Amortization of acquired intangibles from both periods, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $617 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $482 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Diluted earnings per share were $0.00 in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $0.71 in the comparable period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.18, compared to $1.69 for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of 29%. The increase in adjusted diluted earnings per share reflects the impacts of higher adjusted EBIT, lower income attributable to non-controlling interests and a lower share count reflecting share repurchases over the past 12 months.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we generated cash from operations of $1.98 billion. Free Cash Flow was $1.35 billion in the period.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

We posted sales of $42.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $42.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. The lower sales largely reflects:

These factors were partially offset by:

Adjusted EBIT increased to $2.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $2.3 billion for year ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to:

These factors were partially offset by:

During the year ended December 31, 2025, income from operations before income taxes was $1.31 billion, and net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $829 million, decreases of $234 million and $180 million, respectively, each compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, diluted earnings per share were $2.93, compared to $3.52 in the year ended December 31, 2024. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $5.73, compared to $5.41 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we generated cash from operations of $3.60 billion. Free Cash Flow for the year was $1.91 billion for the full year.

RETURN OF CAPITAL TO SHAREHOLDERS AND OTHER MATTERS

We paid dividends of $135 million and $544 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. In addition, we repurchased 1.7 million shares for $86 million and 3.0 million shares for $137 million, respectively, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025.

Our Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.495 per Common Share. This represents a 2% higher dividend, and our 16 th consecutive year of fourth quarter dividend increases. The dividend is payable on March 13, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 27, 2026.

2026 Macro Assumptions

2026 Outlook

Our Outlook is intended to provide information about management's current expectations and plans and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although considered reasonable by Magna as of the date of this document, the 2026 Outlook above and the underlying assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from our expectations as set forth herein. The risks identified in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section below represent the primary factors which we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.

KEY DRIVERS OF OUR BUSINESS

Our business and operating results are dependent on light vehicle production by our customers in three key regions – North America, Europe, and China. While we supply systems and components to many OEMs globally, we do not supply systems and components for every vehicle, nor is the value of our content consistent from one vehicle to the next. As a result, customer and program mix relative to market trends, as well as the value of our content on specific vehicle production programs, are also important drivers of our results.

Ordinarily, OEM production volumes are aligned with vehicle sales levels and thus affected by changes in such levels. Aside from vehicle sales levels, production volumes are typically impacted by a range of factors, including: certain geopolitical factors, such as free trade arrangements and tariffs; OEM, supplier or sub-supplier disruptions; relative currency values; commodities prices; supply chains and infrastructure; labour disruptions and the availability and relative cost of skilled labour; regulatory frameworks; and other factors.

Overall vehicle sales levels are significantly affected by changes in consumer confidence levels, which may in turn be impacted by consumer perceptions and general trends related to the job, housing, and stock markets, as well as other macroeconomic and political factors. Other factors which typically impact vehicle sales levels and thus production volumes include: vehicle affordability; interest rates and/or availability of credit; fuel and energy prices; relative currency values; considerations applicable to EVs, including EV range, charging infrastructure, and electricity pricing; and other factors.

The decrease in sales is primarily a result of:

These factors were partially offset by:

Adjusted EBIT decreased $6 million to $50 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $56 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales was 4.0% in both periods. Factors decreasing Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of sales included:

Corporate and Other

Adjusted EBIT was a loss of $3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to a loss of $40 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The $37 million improvement was primarily the result of:

These factors were partially offset by higher stock-based compensation.

CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company may become involved in regulatory proceedings, or become liable for legal, contractual and other claims by various parties, including customers, suppliers, former employees, class action plaintiffs and others. On an ongoing basis, the Company attempts to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these proceedings or claims, together with potential ranges of probable costs and losses. A determination of the provision required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analysis of each individual issue. The required provision may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters.

In the first quarter of 2025, management identified a potential exposure related to the reassessment of certain prior tax periods. This was a result of the proposed retroactive application of a 2023 judicial decision to tax periods prior to the date of the ruling within a jurisdiction in which the Company operates. This exposure pertained to previously claimed refundable value added tax amounts, as well as associated interest, penalties, and other charges. During the third quarter, the Company negotiated a resolution to this matter and paid an amount during the fourth quarter, which is not considered material.

In December 2023, the Company received a notification [the “Notification Letter”] from Ford Motor Company [“Ford”] informing the Company as to its initial determination that one of the Company’s operating groups bore responsibility for costs totaling $352 million related to two product recalls. The Notification Letter triggered negotiations regarding financial allocation of the total costs for the two recalls. During the fourth quarter, the Company reached a commercial resolution with respect to this matter, which resulted in a payment to the customer of $132 million.

In the third quarter of 2025, Ford initiated recalls covering approximately 3.8 million vehicles equipped with rearview cameras or image processing modules supplied by the Company. Ford also announced a new 15-year extended warranty program for up to approximately 14.9 million vehicles also equipped with rearview cameras supplied by us. Ford is claiming approximately $288 million in costs related to these recalls and warranty claims. Additional recalls and/or extended warranty programs remain possible. The Company is in technical and commercial discussions with Ford, however, at this time, root cause determinations have not been made and/or confirmed for the vehicles covered by Ford’s recalls and warranty extension program. Even after root cause(s) have been determined, other challenges make it difficult to fully quantify the Company’s potential financial exposure, if any. These challenges include: integration with other vehicle systems and non-camera components; the age of affected vehicles; duration of the original warranty; number of affected vehicles brought to Ford dealers for inspection; and dealer discretion to determine the nature of the remedy to be applied, which may range from software upgrades, inspection of the rearview camera and other components, repairs, or replacement of the rearview camera. In the absence of certainty as to the scope of potentially affected vehicles, the root cause(s) of the alleged product failures, and/or the related costs of service actions, the Company is unable to fully estimate its potential exposure, if any, for recall-related costs and the extension of product warranties by Ford to affected vehicle owners. If the Company is determined to be fully or partially responsible for defective rearview cameras, the related recall and extended warranty costs could be material to the Company’s profitability in the period(s) in which such costs are recognized or provided for.

As a result of the bankruptcy of Fisker, Inc., owners of Fisker Ocean SUVs have asserted claims for alleged vehicle defects and breaches of state “lemon laws” against J.P. Morgan Chase, N.A. [“Chase”], the direct financer of approximately 2,000 such vehicles in the United States. Chase has indicated that it will seek indemnification from the Company, as contract manufacturer, for damages and legal costs incurred with the resolution of these claims. As the number, details and amount of these claims are all currently unknown, it is too early to determine the Company’s potential liability, if any, at this time.

SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Magna is a global automotive supplier which has complete vehicle engineering and contract manufacturing expertise, as well as product capabilities which include body, chassis, exterior, seating, powertrain, active driver assistance, electronics, mirrors & lighting, mechatronics, and roof systems.

The Company is organized under four operating segments: Body Exteriors & Structures, Power & Vision, Seating Systems, and Complete Vehicles. These segments have been determined on the basis of technological opportunities, product similarities, market and operating factors, and are also the Company's reportable segments.

The Company's chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer. The chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted Earnings before Interest and Income Taxes ["Adjusted EBIT"] as the measure of segment profit or loss, since management believes Adjusted EBIT is the most appropriate measure of operational profitability or loss for its reporting segments. The chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBIT to assess operating performance, allocate resources, and to help plan the Company's long-term strategic direction and future global growth. Adjusted EBIT is calculated by taking Net income and adding back Amortization of acquired intangible assets, Income taxes, Interest expense, net and Other expense, net.

The following tables show segment information for the Company's reporting segments: See Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBIT to the Company’s consolidated net income.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to the financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release contains references to the Non-GAAP financial measures reconciled below. We believe the Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s financial position and results of operations, and to improve comparability between fiscal periods. In particular, management believes that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are useful measures in assessing the Company’s financial performance by excluding certain items that are not indicative of the Company's core operating performance. Management also believes that Free Cash Flow is a useful measure in assessing the Company’s ability to generate cash to maintain operations and repay its debt. The presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the Company’s related financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The following table reconciles Net income to Adjusted EBIT:

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (CONTINUED)

The following table reconciles Net (loss) income attributable to Magna International Inc. to Adjusted diluted earnings per share:

The following table reconciles Cash provided from operating activities to Free Cash Flow:

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