-------------------------------------------------------------------------
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 --------------------------------
During the second quarter of 2009, vehicle production declined 49%
to 1.8 million units in North America and 28% to 3.1 million units
in Europe, each compared to the second quarter of 2008. Also during
the second quarter of 2009, our North American and European average
dollar content per vehicle decreased 10% and 7% respectively, each
compared to the second quarter of 2008. Complete vehicle assembly
sales decreased 60% to $423 million for the second quarter of 2009
compared to $1.1 billion for the second quarter of 2008, while
complete vehicle assembly volumes declined 65% to approximately
14,100 units. Substantially as a result of the significant declines
in vehicle production in North America and Europe, lower average
dollar content per vehicle in these two markets, and decreases in
assembly sales and tooling, engineering and other sales, our total
sales decreased 45% to $3.7 billion for the second quarter of 2009
as compared to $6.7 billion for the second quarter of 2008. During
the second quarter of 2009, operating loss was $237 million, net
loss was $205 million and diluted loss per share was $1.83,
decreases of $556 million, $432 million and $3.81, respectively,
each compared to the second quarter of 2008. During the second
quarter ended June 30, 2009, we generated cash from operations
before changes in non-cash operating assets and liabilities of $87
million, and invested $55 million in non-cash operating assets and
liabilities. Total investment activities for the second quarter of
2009 were $273 million, including $150 million in fixed asset
additions, $39 million to purchase subsidiaries and an $84 million
increase in investments and other assets. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
2009 ------------------------------ During the six months ended
June 30, 2009, vehicle production declined 50% to 3.5 million units
in North America and 34% to 5.6 million units in Europe, each
compared to the first six months of 2008. Also during the first six
months of 2009, our North American and European average dollar
content per vehicle decreased 3% and 5% respectively, each compared
to the first six months of 2008. Complete vehicle assembly sales
decreased 61% to $824 million for the six months ended June 30,
2009 compared to $2.1 billion for the six months ended June 30,
2008, while complete vehicle assembly volumes declined 69% to
approximately 26,100. As a result of the significant declines in
vehicle production in North America and Europe, lower average
dollar content per vehicle in these two markets, and decreases in
Rest of World sales, assembly sales and tooling, engineering and
other sales, our total sales decreased 45% to $7.3 billion for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $13.3 billion for the
six months ended June 30, 2008. During the six months ended June
30, 2009, operating loss was $467 million, net loss was $405
million and diluted loss per share was $3.62, decreases of $1.1
billion, $839 million and $7.37, respectively, each compared to the
first six months of 2008. During the six months ended June 30,
2009, we generated cash from operations before changes in non-cash
operating assets and liabilities of $96 million, and invested $107
million in non-cash operating assets and liabilities. Total
investment activities for the first six months of 2009 were $391
million, including $246 million in fixed asset additions, $39
million to purchase subsidiaries, and a $106 million increase in
investments and other assets. A more detailed discussion of our
consolidated financial results for the second quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2009 is contained in the Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Position, and the unaudited interim consolidated financial

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; 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 June 30, 2009, we
had 247 manufacturing divisions and 86 product development,
engineering and sales centres in 25 countries. Our operations are
segmented on a geographic basis between North America, Europe and
Rest of World (primarily Asia, South America and Africa). A
Co-Chief Executive Officer heads management in each of our two
primary markets, North America and Europe. The role of the North
American and European management teams is to manage our interests
to ensure a coordinated effort across our different capabilities.
In addition to maintaining key customer, supplier and government
contacts in their respective markets, our regional management teams
centrally manage key aspects of our operations while permitting our
divisions enough flexibility through our decentralized structure to
foster an entrepreneurial environment. HIGHLIGHTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second quarter of 2009 was another challenging period for
Magna, particularly in North America. Vehicle production in North
America declined 49% compared to the second quarter of 2008, and
increased only modestly compared to the depressed production levels
in the first quarter of 2009. Continued weak automotive sales and
high dealer inventories for many vehicles were largely responsible
for the significant year-over-year decline in vehicle production.
In addition, during the second quarter of 2009, both General Motors
and Chrysler (our largest and fourth largest customers,
respectively, based on 2008 sales) filed for bankruptcy protection
in the United States. Chrysler substantially ceased its vehicle
production for the duration of the period it was under bankruptcy
protection and, consequently, Chrysler's North American vehicle
production in the second quarter of 2009 declined 84% as compared
to the second quarter of 2008. Although General Motors did not
cease operations at all of its North American vehicle assembly
facilities while under bankruptcy protection, a number of its
facilities were shut down for extended periods of time, leading to
a 53% decline in General Motors vehicle production in the second
quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008. European
vehicle production for the second quarter of 2009 declined 28%
compared to the second quarter of 2008, although it improved 21%
from the first quarter of 2009. Vehicle "scrappage" programs in
effect this year in a number of European countries have benefitted
European automotive sales and contributed in large part to the
quarterly improvement in European vehicle production from the first
quarter to the second quarter of 2009. Recently, the United States
implemented the Car Allowance Rebate System ("CARS"), an incentive
program effective July 24, 2009 (for vehicles purchased on or after
July 1, 2009), which appears to be stimulating sales of new
vehicles in the United States. The difficult automotive
environment, particularly in North America, adversely impacted our
financial results for the second quarter of 2009. Our total sales
decreased by 45% for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the
second quarter of 2008 as a result of: the significant declines in
vehicle production in our two principal markets; a 60% decrease in
complete vehicle assembly sales; and a 16% decrease in tooling and
other sales. Operating income for the second quarter of 2009
decreased $556 million to a loss of $237 million, from operating
income of $319 million in the second quarter of 2008. Despite the
significant year-over-year declines in sales and operating income
we improved our financial results, excluding unusual items, from
the first quarter of 2009 to the second quarter of 2009. While
total sales in the second quarter of 2009 increased only $131
million from the first quarter of 2009, we reduced our operating
loss, excluding unusual items, by $48 million. Second quarter 2009
financial results benefitted from the higher sequential European
automotive production, continued restructuring activities, the
implementation of additional cost-saving measures, and recent
acquisitions, all relative to the first quarter of 2009. New
Chrysler and General Motors companies were formed in June and July
of this year, respectively, in connection with the bankruptcies of
these OEMs, and the continuing operations of these new companies
are no longer subject to bankruptcy protection. As a result of the
U.S. Administration's efforts to protect the automotive supply base
in the bankruptcy process, we were able to avoid a significant
adverse impact on our profitability and financial condition. There
appear to be signs of improvement in certain key automotive
markets. Recent U.S. monthly sales rates appear to have stabilized,
with July's U.S. auto sales rate being the highest thus far in
2009, driven in part by the CARS incentive program. North American
dealer inventories have declined, and are now below long-term
average levels, while Western European auto sales have been
improving in recent months. OEM production schedules in North
America and Europe, while still low by recent historical standards,
point to increases in the second half of 2009, compared to the
first half of 2009. We have taken steps to further improve our
competitive position. In the second quarter of 2009, we secured a
significant amount of takeover business, in addition to the amount
awarded to us in the first quarter of 2009. We continue to make
selective acquisitions, such as Cadence Innovation s.r.o, located
primarily in the Czech Republic ("Cadence"), and several facilities
in Mexico and the U.S. from Meridian Automotive Systems Inc.
("Meridian"). We also continue to restructure our operations in our
traditional markets to right-size our capacity. In addition to
reduced discretionary spending, we have initiated a number of cost
saving actions, including employee reductions, short work week
schedules, reduced bonuses, voluntary wage reductions and benefit
plan changes. Some of these actions began to benefit our operating
results in the second quarter of 2009, while others will impact
results in future quarters. Our strong financial position allows us
to continue to invest in innovation. In particular, over the past
few years, we have been investing to expand our capabilities and
footprint in the electronics area. We see electronics content,
particularly in the area of driver assistance systems, as an area
of future growth for the automotive industry and for Magna.
However, further investments are required in the coming years
before we generate appropriate returns from these investments. In
the meantime, we expect our electronics investments to continue to
negatively impact our earnings, as such investments did in the
second quarter of 2009. More recently, we have been investing to
develop our component, system and integration capabilities in the
growing hybrid/electric vehicle market. This market is becoming
more significant globally each year, and certain long-term industry
forecasts indicate considerable future growth. We are developing
capabilities across a number of areas/systems that are unique to
hybrid/electric vehicles, including motors and controllers,
inverters, converters, chargers, transfer cases and electric pumps.
However, additional investments are also required in this area, and
we expect our continued investments to negatively impact our
earnings in the near term, as such investments did in the second
quarter of 2009. Last month we announced that, together with the
Savings Bank of the Russian Federation ("Sberbank"), we jointly
submitted a revised offer to acquire a 55% interest in Adam Opel
GmbH ("Opel") as part of a proposed solution that is intended to
assure the long-term viability of Opel. Under the offer, the
acquired 55% interest in Opel would be owned by a 50:50
Magna/Sberbank consortium (the "Consortium"), with General Motors
Company ("General Motors") retaining a 35% interest and Opel
employees acquiring 10% as part of a new labour framework. The
offer was made in response to a request by General Motors for final
offers regarding Opel. The offer contemplates a total equity
investment by the Consortium of (euro)500 million over time. The
Opel Trust, whose Advisory Board includes two representatives of
the German government and two representatives of General Motors,
owns 65% of Opel and is expected to review the submitted offers and
supervise the sale process. If the offer is successful, any
transaction between the Consortium and General Motors would be
subject to finalization of definitive agreements and other
conditions, including government-backed financing. Therefore, there
is no assurance at this time that any transaction will result from
the current involvement of Magna and Sberbank. If the Consortium is
successful in completing the acquisition, Magna will put in place
appropriate "firewalls" to ensure that its current business will
operate independently from Opel. FINANCIAL RESULTS SUMMARY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the second quarter of 2009, we posted sales of $3.7 billion,
a decrease of 45% from the second quarter of 2008. This lower sales
level was a result of decreases in our North American and European
production sales, complete vehicle assembly sales and tooling,
engineering and other sales offset in part by increases in our Rest
of World production sales. Comparing the second quarter of 2009 to
the second quarter of 2008: - North American average dollar content
per vehicle decreased 10%, while vehicle production declined 49%; -
European average dollar content per vehicle decreased 7%, while
vehicle production declined 28%; and - Complete vehicle assembly
sales decreased 60% to $423 million from $1,054 million and
complete vehicle assembly volumes declined 65%. During the second
quarter of 2009, we incurred an operating loss of $237 million
compared to operating income of $319 million for the second quarter
of 2008. Excluding the unusual items recorded in the second
quarters of 2009 and 2008, as discussed in the "Unusual Items"
section, the $510 million decrease in operating income was
substantially due to decreased margin earned on reduced sales as a
result of significantly lower vehicle production volumes, in
particular at Chrysler and General Motors. In addition, the
remaining decrease in operating income was primarily due to: - a
favourable settlement on research and development incentives during
the second quarter of 2008; - incremental costs associated with
restructuring and downsizing activities; - a favourable revaluation
of warranty accruals during the second quarter of 2008; - electric
vehicle development costs; - costs incurred at new facilities in
Russia as we continue to pursue opportunities in this market; -
increased commodity costs; - additional supplier insolvency costs;
- costs incurred to develop and grow our electronics capabilities;
and - amortization of deferred wage buydown assets at a powertrain
systems facility in the United States. These factors were partially
offset by: - no employee profit sharing to for the second quarter
of 2009; - productivity and efficiency improvements at certain
facilities; - the benefit of restructuring and downsizing
activities undertaken during or subsequent to the second quarter of
2008; - lower incentive compensation; - cost savings initiatives,
including reduced discretionary spending, employee reductions,
short work week schedules, reduced bonuses, voluntary wage
reductions and benefit plan changes; - incremental margin earned
from acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the second
quarter of 2008; and - the sale of certain underperforming
divisions during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2008.
During the second quarter of 2009, we incurred a net loss of $205
million compared to net income of $227 million for the second
quarter of 2008. Excluding the unusual items recorded in the second
quarters of 2009 and 2008, as discussed in the "Unusual Items"
section, net income for the second quarter of 2009 decreased $378
million. The decrease in net income was as a result of the decrease
in operating income partially offset by lower income taxes. During
the second quarter of 2009, our diluted loss per share was $1.83
compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.98 for the second
quarter of 2008. Excluding the unusual items recorded in the second
quarters of 2009 and 2008, as discussed in the "Unusual Items"
section, diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2009
decreased $3.33. The decrease in diluted earnings per share is as a
result of the decrease in net income combined with a decrease in
the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding. The
decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares
outstanding was primarily due to the repurchase and cancellation of
Class A Subordinate Voting Shares during or subsequent to the
second quarter of 2008 under the terms of our ongoing Normal Course
Issuer Bid and a reduction in the number of diluted shares
associated with debentures and stock options, since such shares
were anti-dilutive in the second quarter of 2009. UNUSUAL ITEMS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 there were no
unusual items recorded. During the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded certain unusual items as
follows: 2009 2008 ---------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Restructuring and Impairment Charges (a) For the six months
ended June 30, 2009 Historically, we complete our annual goodwill
and long-lived impairment analyses in the fourth quarter of each
year in conjunction with our annual business planning process.
However, goodwill must be tested for impairment when an event or
circumstance occurs that more likely than not reduces the fair
value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. After failing
to reach a favourable labour agreement at a powertrain systems
facility in Syracuse, New York, during the second quarter of 2009,
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 made a reasonable estimate of the goodwill
impairment 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. As a result, during the second quarter of 2009, we recorded a
$75 million goodwill impairment at our Powertrain North America
reporting unit, representing our best estimate of the impairment.
Due to the judgment involved in determining the fair value of the
reporting unit's assets and liabilities, the final amount of the
goodwill impairment charge could differ from the amount estimated.
An adjustment, if any, to the estimated impairment charge, based on
finalization of the impairment analysis, would be recorded during
the fourth quarter of 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, we
recorded restructuring costs of $6 million related to the planned
closure of this powertrain systems facility, substantially all of
which will be paid subsequent to 2009. (b) For the six months ended
June 30, 2008 During the second quarter of 2008, we recorded asset
impairments of $5 million relating to specific assets at a seating
systems facility in North America and $4 million relating to
specific assets at an interior systems facility in Europe. (2)
Curtailment gain During the second quarter of 2009, we amended our
Retiree Premium Reimbursement Plan in Canada and the United States,
such that employees retiring on or after August 1, 2009 will no
longer participate in the plan. The amendment will reduce 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. 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 their
various vehicle programs. A number of other economic, industry and
risk factors discussed in our Annual Information Form and Annual
Report on Form 40-F, each in respect of the year ended December 31,
2008, also affect our success. The economic, industry and risk
factors remain substantially unchanged in respect of the second
quarter ended June 30, 2009, except that: - On June 1, 2009, the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York approved the
sale, pursuant to Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, of
Chrysler LLC's principal assets and operations to Chrysler Group
LLC, a new company formed in alliance with Fiat SpA. As a result of
the sale, which was completed on June 10, 2009, the continuing
operations of the new Chrysler are no longer subject to bankruptcy
protection. On July 6, 2009, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern
District of New York approved the sale, pursuant to Section 363 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, of General Motors Corporation's principal
assets and operations to General Motors Company, a new company
owned primarily by the United States, Canadian and Ontario
governments, and by a trust for providing medical benefits to
United Auto Workers retirees. As a result of the sale, which was
completed on July 10, 2009, the continuing operations of the new
General Motors are no longer subject to bankruptcy protection. - As
a result of the successful restructuring of Chrysler's and General
Motors' operations out of bankruptcy, our credit risk related to
Chrysler and General Motors has significantly diminished. - As
previously disclosed, Magna and Sberbank have jointly submitted a
revised offer to acquire a 55% equity interest in General Motors'
European subsidiary, Opel through the Consortium. The Opel Trust is
expected to review the submitted offers and supervise the sale
process. There is no assurance as at the date of this MD&A that
any transaction will result from the current involvement of Magna
and Sberbank. If we complete the purchase of an equity stake in
Opel, we will be subject to a number of risks, including: - the
possibility that the terms and conditions of the definitive
agreements we enter into in connection with the acquisition may
differ from those currently proposed; - the risk that, despite any
"firewalls" we implement to separate our operations from those of
Opel's, some of our OEM customers may prefer to purchase components
and systems from suppliers which do not own an equity stake in an
OEM; - the likelihood that we will cease to be in compliance with
certain covenants relating to our credit facility and will, as a
result, need to renegotiate credit terms with our lending
syndicate; and - various risks associated with the operation of an
automotive OEM business. - On June 24, 2009, the United States
Government passed legislation establishing the CARS program,
effective July 24, 2009 (for vehicles purchased on or after July 1,
2009). Under the CARS program, vehicle owners meeting specified
criteria can receive monetary credit for trading in their older,
less efficient vehicles and purchasing or leasing newer, more
efficient vehicles. As at the date of this MD&A, the initial
funds allocated to the CARS program had been effectively exhausted,
however, the U.S. Congress appears set to pass legislation that
will allocate an additional $2 billion in funding to the program.
Similar programs in certain European countries have had a positive
short-term effect on vehicle production and sales to date in 2009,
however, it is too early to determine the impact of the CARS
program on North American vehicle production and sales for the full
year 2009 and beyond. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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 six months
ended June 30, 2009 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, primarily in Canada, 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. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE

External Production Sales - North America External production sales
in North America decreased 55% or $1.6 billion to $1.4 billion for
the second quarter of 2009 compared to $3.0 billion for the second
quarter of 2008. This decrease in production sales reflects a 49%
decrease in North American vehicle production volumes as discussed
in the "Highlights" section above combined with a 10% decrease in
our North American average dollar content per vehicle. More
importantly, during the second quarter of 2009 our largest
customers in North America continued to reduce vehicle production
volumes compared to the second quarter of 2008. While North
American vehicle production volumes declined 49% in the second
quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008, Chrysler
and GM vehicle production declined 84% and 53%, respectively. Due
in part to their bankruptcy protection filings, Chrysler and GM
stopped or reduced vehicle production at many of their North
American assembly operations during the second quarter of 2009. Our
average dollar content per vehicle declined by 10% or $90 to $768
for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $858 for the second
quarter of 2008 primarily as a result of: - Chrysler and GM
programs impacted by the stoppages and reductions in vehicle
production, as noted above including the: - Dodge Grand Caravan,
Chrysler Town & Country and Volkswagen Routan; - Chrysler 300
and 300C and Dodge Charger; - Dodge Journey; - Jeep Wrangler; -
Jeep Liberty; - Dodge Avenger and Chrysler Sebring; and - Jeep
Grand Cherokee; - GM full-sized SUVs and pickups; - Chevrolet
Cobalt and Pontiac G5; and - Saturn Vue; - a decrease in reported
U.S. dollar sales due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar
against the U.S. dollar; - programs that ended production during or
subsequent to the second quarter of 2008, including the: -
Chevrolet Trailblazer and GMC Envoy; and - Dodge Durango and
Chrysler Aspen; and - customer price concessions subsequent to the
second quarter of 2008. These factors were partially offset by: -
increased production and/or content on certain programs, including
the: - Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and Mazda Tribute; - Ford
Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ; - Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX; -
Mercedes-Benz R-Class, M-Class and GL-Class; and - Saturn Outlook,
Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia; - the launch of new programs during
or subsequent to the second quarter of 2008, including the: -
Chevrolet Traverse; - Ford F-Series and Lincoln Mark LT; and -
Chevrolet Camaro; and - acquisitions completed during or subsequent
to the second quarter of 2008, including a substantial portion of
Plastech Engineered Products Inc.'s ("Plastech") exteriors
business. External Production Sales - Europe External production
sales in Europe decreased 33% or $0.7 billion to $1.4 billion for
the second quarter of 2009 compared to $2.1 billion for the second
quarter of 2008. This decrease in production sales reflects a 28%
decrease in European vehicle production volumes as discussed in the
"Highlights" section above combined with a 7% decrease in our
European average dollar content per vehicle. Our average dollar
content per vehicle declined by 7% or $33 to $467 for the second
quarter of 2009 compared to $500 for the second quarter of 2008,
primarily as a result of: - the impact of lower production and/or
content on certain programs, including the: - Mercedes-Benz
C-Class; - Ford Transit; - Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg;
- Volkswagen Transporter; - Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro, Nissan Primastar
and Renault Trafic; - Mercedes-Benz SLK; - BMW X3; - Opel/Vauxhall
Astra Twin Top; and - Audi Q7; - a decrease in reported U.S. dollar
sales due to the weakening of the euro and British pound, each
against the U.S. dollar; - the sale of certain facilities during or
subsequent to the second quarter of 2008; and - customer price
concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2008. These factors
were partially offset by: - the launch of new programs during or
subsequent to the second quarter of 2008, including the: - Audi Q5;
- Volkswagen Golf; - MINI Cooper Convertible; - Audi A5 Cabrio; and
- Peugeot 308 CC; - acquisitions completed during or subsequent to
the second quarter of 2008, including: - Cadence, a manufacturer of
exterior and interior systems primarily located in the Czech
Republic; and - Technoplast ("Technoplast"), a supplier of plastic
exterior and interior components located in Russia; and - increased
production and/or content on certain programs, including the: -
Opel/Vauxhall Insignia; and - Volkswagen Tiguan. External
Production Sales - Rest of World External production sales in Rest
of World increased 4% or $6 million to $154 million for the second
quarter of 2009 compared to $148 million for the second quarter of
2008 primarily as a result of: - increased production and/or
content on certain programs in China and Brazil; - the launch of
new programs during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2008 in
China; and - an increase in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result
of the strengthening of the Chinese Renminbi against the U.S.
dollar. These factors were partially offset by: - a decrease in
reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the weakening of the
Brazilian real and Korean Won, each against the U.S. dollar; and -
decreased production and/or content on certain programs,
particularly in Korea and South Africa. 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. For the three months ended June 30,
--------------------- 2009 2008 Change

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Complete vehicle assembly sales decreased 60% or $631 million to
$423 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $1.05
billion for the second quarter of 2008 and assembly volumes
decreased 65% or 25,675 units. In general, the decrease in complete
vehicle assembly volumes is due to a combination of general
economic conditions as discussed previously; the natural decline in
volumes as certain models that we currently assemble approach their
scheduled end of production; and a decrease in reported U.S. dollar
sales due to the weakening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.
Several new complete vehicle assembly programs have been awarded
and are scheduled to launch throughout 2009 to 2013. Tooling,
Engineering and Other Tooling, engineering and other sales
decreased 16% or $63 million to $336 million for the second quarter
of 2009 compared to $399 million for the second quarter of 2008. In
the second quarter of 2009, the major programs for which we
recorded tooling, engineering and other sales were the: - MINI
Cooper, Clubman, Crossman; - Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra; -
Buick LaCrosse; - Audi Q3; - Porsche 911; - Opel/Vauxhall Astra; -
Dodge Journey; - BMW X3; - Volkswagen Golf; - Porsche Cayenne and
Volkswagen Touareg; and - Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain. In the
second quarter of 2008, the major programs for which we recorded
tooling, engineering and other sales were the: - Mazda 6; - MINI
Cooper, Clubman, Crossman; - Mercedes-Benz C-Class; - Renault
Trafic and Nissan Primastar; - Suzuki XL7; - GM full-size pickups;
- BMW X3; - Audi A5; - Honda Pilot; and - Porsche Boxster. In
addition, tooling, engineering and other sales decreased as a
result of the weakening of the euro and Canadian dollar, each
against the U.S. dollar. Gross Margin Gross margin decreased $596
million to $299 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to
$895 million for the second quarter of 2008 and gross margin as a
percentage of total sales decreased to 8.1% for the second quarter
of 2009 compared to 13.3% for the second quarter of 2008. The
unusual items discussed in the "Unusual Items" section positively
impacted gross margin as a percentage of total sales in the second
quarter of 2009 by 0.6%. Excluding these unusual items, the 5.8%
decrease in gross margin as a percentage of total sales was
substantially as a result of lower gross margin earned due to the
significant decline in vehicle production volumes. In addition,
gross margin as a percentage of total sales was negatively impacted
by: - a favourable settlement on research and development
incentives during the second quarter of 2008; - a favourable
revaluation of warranty accruals during the second quarter of 2008;
- electric vehicle development costs; - increased commodity costs;
- incremental costs associated with restructuring and downsizing
activities, primarily in North America; - amortization of deferred
wage buydown assets at a powertrain systems facility in the United
States; - costs incurred to develop and grow our electronics
capabilities; - costs incurred in preparation for upcoming
launches; - additional supplier insolvency costs; and - customer
price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of 2008. These
factors were partially offset by: - productivity and efficiency
improvements at certain facilities; - lower employee profit
sharing; - a decrease in complete vehicle assembly sales which have
a lower gross margin than our consolidated average; - the decrease
in tooling and other sales that earn low or no margins; - the
benefit of restructuring and downsizing activities that were
undertaken during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2008; and
- the benefit of cost saving initiatives, including employee
reductions, short work week schedules and benefit plan changes.
Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization costs
decreased 21% or $47 million to $181 million for the second quarter
of 2009 compared to $228 million for the second quarter of 2008.
The decrease in depreciation and amortization was primarily as a
result of: - the impairment of certain assets subsequent to the
second quarter of 2008, in particular at a powertrain systems
facility in the United States and certain interiors and exteriors
systems facilities in North America; - a decrease in reported U.S.
dollar depreciation and amortization due to the weakening of the
Canadian dollar and euro, each against the U.S. dollar; and - the
sale or disposition of certain facilities subsequent to the second
quarter of 2008. These factors were partially offset by
acquisitions completed and capital spending during or subsequent to
the second quarter of 2008. Selling, General and Administrative
("SG A") SG A expense as a percentage of sales was 7.4% for the
second quarter of 2009, compared to 5.4% for the second quarter of
2008. This increase was substantially due to the significant
decrease in sales as a result of significantly lower vehicle
production volumes. SG A expense decreased 24% or $89 million to
$275 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $364
million for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in SG A
expense was primarily as a result of: - lower incentive
compensation; - reduced spending at certain facilities as a result
of restructuring activities and downsizing that were initiated
subsequent to the second quarter of 2008; - management cost saving
initiatives, including reduced discretionary spending, employee
reductions, reduced bonuses, voluntary wage reductions and benefit
plan changes; - a decrease in reported U.S. dollar SG&A expense
due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar and euro, each against
the U.S. dollar; and - the sale or disposition of certain
facilities during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2008.
These factors were partially offset by: - higher restructuring and
downsizing costs; and - acquisitions completed during or subsequent
to the second quarter of 2008. Impairment Charges Impairment
charges increased to $75 million for the second quarter of 2009
compared to $9 million for the second quarter of 2008. Impairment
charges have been discussed in the "Unusual Items" section.

(1) EBIT is defined as income (loss) from operations before income
taxes as presented on our unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements before net interest expense (income). North America EBIT
in North America decreased $340 million to a loss of $199 million
for the second quarter of 2009 compared to earnings of $141 million
for the second quarter of 2008. Excluding the North American
unusual items discussed in the "Unusual Items" section, the $290
million decrease in EBIT was substantially due to decreased margins
earned on reduced sales as a result of significantly lower vehicle
production volumes, in particular on most Chrysler and General
Motors programs. In addition, EBIT was negatively impacted by: - a
favourable settlement on research and development incentives during
the second quarter of 2008; - incremental costs associated with
restructuring and downsizing activities; - electric vehicle
development costs; - additional supplier insolvency costs; -
amortization of deferred wage buydown assets at a powertrain
systems facility in the United States; - increased commodity costs;
- costs incurred to develop and grow our electronics capabilities;
and - customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter
of 2008. These factors were partially offset by: - lower
affiliation fees paid to corporate; - no employee profit sharing
for the second quarter of 2009; - productivity and efficiency
improvements at certain facilities; - the benefit of restructuring
and downsizing activities undertaken during or subsequent to the
second quarter of 2008; - lower incentive compensation; - lower
warranty costs; and - incremental margin earned from the
acquisition from Plastech; and - the benefit of cost saving
initiatives, including reduced discretionary spending, employee
reductions, reduced bonuses, and benefit plan changes. Europe EBIT
in Europe decreased $185 million to a loss of $40 million for the
second quarter of 2009 compared to earnings of $145 million for the
second quarter of 2008. Excluding the European unusual items
discussed in the "Unusual Items" section above, the $189 million
decrease in EBIT was substantially due to decreased margins earned
on reduced sales as a result of significantly lower vehicle
production volumes, in particular on many high content programs. In
addition, EBIT was negatively impacted by: - a favourable
revaluation of warranty accruals during the second quarter of 2008;
- costs incurred at new facilities in Russia as we continue to
pursue opportunities in this market; - costs incurred in
preparation for upcoming launches or for programs that have not
fully ramped up production; - increased commodity costs; -
incremental costs associated with downsizing activities; - costs
incurred to develop and grow our electronics capabilities; and -
customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter of
2008. These factors were partially offset by: - lower affiliation
fees paid to corporate; - no employee profit sharing for the second
quarter of 2009; - incremental margin earned related to the
acquisition of Cadence; - lower incentive compensation; - the
benefit of cost saving initiatives, including reduced discretionary
spending, employee reductions, short work week schedules, reduced
bonuses, and voluntary wage reductions; and - the sale of certain
underperforming divisions during or subsequent to the second
quarter of 2008. Rest of World Rest of World EBIT decreased $5
million to $8 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to
$13 million for the second quarter of 2008 primarily as a result of
costs incurred at new facilities, substantially in India partially
offset by incremental margin earned on new programs that launched
during or subsequent to the second quarter of 2008 in China.
Corporate and Other Corporate and Other EBIT decreased $8 million
to a loss of $3 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to
earnings of $5 million for the second quarter of 2008 primarily as
a result of: - a decrease in affiliation fees earned from our
divisions; and - a decrease in equity income earned. These factors
were partially offset by: - lower executive compensation; and - the
benefit of cost saving initiatives, including reduced discretionary
spending, employee reductions, short work week schedules, reduced
bonuses, voluntary wage reductions and benefit plan changes.
Interest Expense (Income), net During the second quarter of 2009,
we recorded net interest expense of $3 million, compared to $15
million of net interest income for the second quarter of 2008. The
$18 million decrease in net interest income is as a result of: - a
decrease in interest income earned on lower cash and cash
equivalent balances; - a decrease in interest income earned due to
lower interest rates; and - an increase in interest expense paid on
higher short-term borrowings. These factors were partially offset
by a reduction in interest expense on long-term debt due to the
repayment of our senior unsecured notes. Operating Income (Loss)
Operating income decreased $556 million to a loss of $237 million
for the second quarter of 2009 compared to earnings of $319 million
for the second quarter of 2008. Excluding the unusual items
discussed in the "Unusual Items" section, operating income for the
second quarter of 2009 decreased $510 million. The decrease in
operating income is the result of the decreases in EBIT and net
interest income earned, both as discussed above. Income Taxes Our
effective income tax rate on operating income (excluding equity
income) decreased to 13.6% for the second quarter of 2009 compared
to 29.8% for the second quarter of 2008. In the second quarters of
2009 and 2008, income tax rates were impacted by the unusual items
discussed in the "Unusual Items" section. Excluding unusual items,
our effective income tax rate decreased to 21.1% for the second
quarter of 2009 compared to 29.6% for the second quarter of 2008.
The change in the effective income tax rate is substantially as a
result of an increase in losses not benefitted, primarily at
certain facilities in the United States and Europe. Net Income
(Loss) Net income decreased $432 million to a net loss of $205
million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to net income of
$227 million for the second quarter of 2008. Excluding the unusual
items discussed in the "Unusual Items" section, net income
decreased $378 million. This decrease in net income is the result
of the decrease in operating income partially offset by lower
income taxes, both as discussed above. Earnings (Loss) per Share

Diluted earnings per share decreased $3.81 to a loss of $1.83 for
the second quarter of 2009 compared to earnings of $1.98 for the
second quarter of 2008. Excluding the unusual items, discussed in
the "Unusual Items" section, diluted earnings per share decreased
$3.33 from the second quarter of 2008 as a result of a decrease in
net income (excluding unusual items) described above, combined with
a decrease in the weighted average number of diluted shares
outstanding during the quarter. The decrease in the weighted
average number of diluted shares outstanding was primarily due to
the repurchase and cancellation of Class A Subordinate Voting
Shares subsequent to the second quarter of 2008 under the terms of
our ongoing Normal Course Issuer Bid and a reduction in the number
of diluted shares associated with debentures and stock options
since such shares were anti-dilutive in the second quarter of 2009,
and. FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from operations before changes in non-cash operating
assets and liabilities decreased $406 million to $87 million for
the second quarter of 2009 compared to $493 million for the second
quarter of 2008. The decrease in cash flow from operations was due
to a $432 million decrease in net income, as discussed above,
partially offset by a $26 million increase in items not involving
current cash flows primarily as a result of the $75 million
goodwill impairment charge offset in part by the $26 million
curtailment gain. Items not involving current cash flows are
comprised of the following: For the three months ended June 30,

Cash invested in non-cash operating assets and liabilities amounted
to $55 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $289
million for the second quarter of 2008. The change in non-cash
operating assets and liabilities is comprised of the following
sources (and uses) of cash: For the three months ended June 30,
--------------------- 2009 2008

liabilities 11 9 Deferred revenue (5) (5)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in non-cash operating assets and liabilities $ (55) $ (289)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The decrease in accounts receivable and accounts payable in the
second quarter of 2009 was primarily due to lower sales related to
the downturn in the automotive sector, offset in part by Chrysler
receivables that were collected subsequent to June 30, 2009. The
increase in inventories relates to several tooling programs in
Europe and production inventory builds substantially in North
America to ensure availability of parts in the event of supply
disruptions. The decrease in accrued salaries and wages was
primarily due to the reduction in employee profit sharing and the
payment of the second instalment of wage buydowns at a powertrain
systems facility in the United States. The increase in income taxes
receivable was primarily due to losses that can be carried back to
prior years in Canada net of tax refunds received in Canada and the
United States. Capital and Investment Spending For the three months

Fixed and other assets additions In the second quarter of 2009, we
invested $150 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 second quarter of 2009 was for manufacturing
equipment for programs that will be launching subsequent to the
second quarter of 2009 and capital related to takeover business
awarded during 2009. In the second quarter of 2009, we invested $84
million in other assets related primarily to fully reimbursable
planning and engineering costs at our complete vehicle engineering
and assembly operations and our roof systems operations for
programs that will be launching subsequent to the second quarter of
2009. Purchase of subsidiaries During the second quarter of 2009,
we invested $39 million to purchase subsidiaries, including: -
Cadence, a manufacturer of exterior and interior systems primarily
located in the Czech Republic; and - several facilities in the
United States and Mexico from Meridian, which supply interior and
exterior composites. Proceeds from disposition Proceeds from
disposition in the second quarter of 2009 and 2008 were $7 million
and $19 million, respectively, which represent normal course fixed
and other asset disposals. Financing For the three months ended

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The increase in bank indebtedness during the second quarter of 2009
relates primarily to the draw down on our term and operating lines
of credit in Europe that was required to fund current European
operations. Subsequent to June 30, 2009 substantially all of the
indebtedness was repaid through cash resources. During the second
quarter of 2008, we purchased 1.9 million Class A Subordinate
Voting Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $134 million under
a normal course issuer bid. During the second quarter of 2009, our
Board of Directors suspended payment of dividends. As a result, no
cash dividends were paid on our Class A Subordinate Voting or Class
B Share for the second quarter of 2009. This compares to a dividend
payment of $0.36 per Class A Subordinate Voting or Class B Share
for the second quarter of 2008. Financing Resources As at As at
June 30, December 2009 31, 2008 Change
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liabilities Bank indebtedness $ 291 $ 909 Long-term debt due within
one year 250 157 Long-term debt 123 143
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
664 1,209 Shareholders' equity 7,123 7,363
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total capitalization $ 7,787 $ 8,572 $ (785)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total capitalization decreased by $0.8 billion to $7.8 billion at
June 30, 2009 compared to $8.6 billion at December 31, 2008. The
decrease in capitalization was a result of a $0.6 billion decrease
in liabilities and a $0.2 billion decrease in shareholders' equity.
The decrease in liabilities is primarily as a result of a $767
million repayment on our outstanding lines of credit in February
and March 2009 partially offset by the draw down on our lines of
credit during the second quarter of 2009 in Europe and debt assumed
on the Cadence acquisition. The decrease in shareholders' equity
was primarily as a result of: - net loss incurred during the first
six months of 2009; and - dividends paid during the first quarter
of 2009. These factors were partially offset by: - a $93 million
increase in accumulated net unrealized gains on translation of net
investment in foreign operations, primarily as a result of the
strengthening of the Canadian dollar and British pound, each
against the U.S. dollar between December 31, 2008 and June 30,
2009; and - net unrealized gains on cash flow hedges and the
reclassification of net losses on cash flow hedges from accumulated
other comprehensive income to net loss. Cash Resources During the
first six months of 2009, our cash resources decreased by $1.0
billion to $1.7 billion primarily as a result of the repayment of
$0.6 billion on our outstanding lines of credit as discussed
previously. In addition to our cash resources, we had term and
operating lines of credit totalling $2.1 billion. The unused and
available portion of our lines of credit increased $0.6 billion to
$1.6 billion during the first six months of 2009 due to the
repayment on our operating lines. Maximum Number of Shares Issuable
The following table presents the maximum number of shares that
would be outstanding if all of the outstanding options and
Subordinated Debentures issued and outstanding at August 6, 2009
were exercised or converted: Class A Subordinate Voting and Class B
Shares 112,613,071 Subordinated Debentures(i) 1,096,589 Stock
options(ii) 3,805,701
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
117,515,361
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) The above amounts include shares issuable if the holders of the
6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures exercise their conversion
option but exclude Class A Subordinate Voting Shares issuable, only
at our option, to settle interest and principal related to the 6.5%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures on redemption or maturity. The
number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares issuable at our option
is dependent on the trading price of Class A Subordinate Voting
Shares at the time we elect to settle the 6.5% Convertible
Subordinated Debenture interest and principal with shares. The
above amounts also exclude Class A Subordinate Voting Shares
issuable, only at our option, to settle the 7.08% Subordinated
Debentures on redemption or maturity. The number of shares issuable
is dependent on the trading price of Class A Subordinate Voting
Shares at redemption or maturity of the 7.08% Subordinated
Debentures. (ii) Options to purchase Class A Subordinate Voting
Shares are exercisable by the holder in accordance with the vesting
provisions and upon payment of the exercise price as may be
determined from time to time pursuant to our stock option plans.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Financing There have
been no material changes with respect to the contractual
obligations requiring annual payments during the second quarter of
2009 that are outside the ordinary course of our business. Refer to
our MD&A included in our 2008 Annual Report. RESULTS OF

External Production Sales - North America External production sales
in North America decreased 51% or $3.1 billion to $2.9 billion for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $6.0 billion for the
six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in production sales
reflects a 50% decrease in North American vehicle production
volumes combined with a 3% decrease in our North American average
dollar content per vehicle. More importantly, during the first half
of 2009 our largest customers in North America continued to reduce
vehicle production volumes compared to the first half of 2008.
While North American vehicle production volumes declined 50% in the
first six months of 2009 compared to the first six months of 2008,
Chrysler and GM vehicle production declined 69% and 55%,
respectively. Our average dollar content per vehicle declined by 3%
or $28 to $838 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to
$866 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily as a result
of: - plant closures at Chrysler during most of May and June 2009
for all programs including the: - Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler
Town & Country and Volkswagen Routan; - Chrysler 300 and 300C
and Dodge Charger; - Jeep Wrangler; - Dodge Avenger and Chrysler
Sebring; - Jeep Liberty; and - Dodge Caliber; - the impact of lower
production and/or content on certain programs, including the: -
Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5; - GM full-sized SUVs; - Saturn
Vue; - Saturn Outlook, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia; and -
Chevrolet Impala; - a decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales due to
the weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar; -
programs that ended production during or subsequent to the six
months ended June 30, 2008, including the: - Chevrolet Trailblazer
and GMC Envoy; and - Dodge Durango and Chrysler Aspen; and -
customer price concessions subsequent to the six months ended June
30, 2008. These factors were partially offset by: - the launch of
new programs during or subsequent to the six months ended June 30,
2008, including the: - Ford F-Series and Lincoln Mark LT; -
Chevrolet Traverse; - Dodge Ram; - BMW X6; - Ford Flex; and -
Chevrolet Camaro; - increased production and/or content on certain
programs, including the: - Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and Mazda
Tribute; - GM full-sized pickups; and - Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan
and Lincoln MKZ; and - acquisitions completed during or subsequent
to the six months ended June 30, 2008, including - a substantial
portion of Plastech's exteriors business; - a stamping and
sub-assembly facility in Birmingham, Alabama from Ogihara America
Corporation. External Production Sales - Europe External production
sales in Europe decreased 37% or $1.5 billion to $2.6 billion for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $4.1 billion for the
six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in production sales
reflects a 34% decrease in European vehicle production volumes
combined with a 5% decrease in our European average dollar content
per vehicle. Our average dollar content per vehicle declined by 5%
or $26 to $461 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to
$487 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result
of: - the impact of lower production and/or content on certain
programs, including the: - Ford Transit; - Mercedes-Benz C-Class; -
Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg; - BMW X3; - Opel/Vauxhall
Vivaro, Nissan Primastar and Renault Trafic; - Mercedes-Benz SLK;
and - Volkswagen Transporter; - a decrease in reported U.S. dollar
sales due to the weakening of the euro and British pound, each
against the U.S. dollar; - the sale of certain facilities during or
subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2008; and - customer
price concessions subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2008.
These factors were partially offset by: - the launch of new
programs during or subsequent to the six months ended June 30,
2008, including the: - Audi Q5; - Volkswagen Golf; - Opel/Vauxhall
Insignia; and - MINI Cooper Convertible; - acquisitions completed
during or subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2008,
including Cadence and Technoplast; and - increased production
and/or content on certain programs, including the Volkswagen
Tiguan. External Production Sales - Rest of World External
production sales in Rest of World decreased 3% or $7 million to
$262 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $269
million for the second quarter of 2008 primarily as a result of: -
a decrease in reported U.S. dollar sales as a result of the
weakening of the Brazilian real, Korean Won and South African Rand,
each against the U.S. dollar; and - decreased production and/or
content on certain programs, particularly in Korea and South
Africa. These factors were partially offset by: - increased
production and/or content on certain programs in China and Brazil;
- the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the first six
months of 2008 in China; and - an increase in reported U.S. dollar
sales as a result of the strengthening of the Chinese Renminbi
against the U.S. dollar. Complete Vehicle Assembly Sales For the
six months ended June 30, --------------------- 2009 2008 Change
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Complete Vehicle Assembly Sales $ 824 $ 2,140 - 61%

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
26,094 83,272 - 69%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Complete vehicle assembly sales decreased 61% or $1.3 billion to
$0.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to
$2.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2008 while assembly
volumes decreased 69% or 57,178 units. In general, the decrease in
complete vehicle assembly volumes is due to a combination of
general economic conditions as discussed previously; the natural
decline in volumes as certain models that we currently assemble
approach their scheduled end of production; and a decrease in
reported U.S. dollar sales due to the weakening of the euro against
the U.S. dollar. Several new complete vehicle assembly programs
have been awarded and are scheduled to launch throughout 2009 to
2013. Tooling, Engineering and Other Tooling, engineering and other
sales decreased 13% or $102 million to $678 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $780 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008. In the six months ended June 30, 2009,
the major programs for which we recorded tooling, engineering and
other sales were the: - MINI Cooper, Clubman and Crossman; -
Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra; - Cadillac SRX and Saab 9-4X; -
Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain; - BMW X3; - Porsche Panamera; -
Buick LaCrosse; - Audi Q3; and - Opel/Vauxhall Astra. In the six
months ended June 30, 2008, the major programs for which we
recorded tooling, engineering and other sales were the: - BMW Z4,
X3 and 1-Series; - GM full-size pickups; - Mazda 6; - MINI Cooper,
Clubman and Crossman; - Mercedes-Benz C-Class; - Audi A5; - Peugeot
A58; - Renault Trafic and Nissan Primastar; - Ford F-Series; and -
Suzuki XL7. In addition, tooling, engineering and other sales
decreased as a result of the weakening of the euro and Canadian
dollar, each against the U.S. dollar. EBIT For the six months ended

Included in EBIT for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 were the following unusual items, which have been discussed in
the "Unusual Items" section above. For the six months ended June

North America EBIT in North America decreased $576 million to a
loss of $288 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009
compared to earnings of $288 million for the six months ended June
30, 2008. Excluding the North American unusual items discussed in
the "Unusual Items" section, the $526 million decrease in EBIT was
substantially due to decreased margins earned on reduced sales as a
result of significantly lower vehicle production volumes, in
particular on many high content programs. In addition, EBIT was
negatively impacted by: - incremental costs associated with
restructuring and downsizing activities; - a favourable settlement
on research and development incentives during the first six months
2008; - electric vehicle development costs; - additional supplier
insolvency costs; - amortization of deferred wage buydown assets at
a powertrain systems facility in the United States; - increased
commodity costs; - costs incurred to develop and grow our
electronics capabilities; and - customer price concessions
subsequent to the first six months of 2008. These factors were
partially offset by: - lower affiliation fees paid to corporate; -
no employee profit sharing for the first six months of 2009; -
lower incentive compensation; - productivity and efficiency
improvements at certain facilities; - the benefit of restructuring
and downsizing activities undertaken during or subsequent to the
second quarter of 2008; - lower warranty costs; - the benefit of
cost saving initiatives, including reduced discretionary spending,
employee reductions, reduced bonuses, and benefit plan changes; and
- incremental margin earned related to the acquisition from
Plastech. Europe EBIT in Europe decreased $423 million to a loss of
$159 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to
earnings of $264 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Excluding the European unusual items discussed in the "Unusual
Items" section, the $427 million decrease in EBIT was substantially
due to decreased margins earned on reduced sales as a result of
significantly lower vehicle production volumes, in particular on
many high content programs. In addition, EBIT was negatively
impacted by: - a favourable revaluation of warranty accruals during
the second quarter of 2008; - costs incurred at new facilities in
Russia as we continue to pursue opportunities in this market; -
increased commodity costs; - incremental costs associated with
downsizing activities; - costs incurred in preparation for upcoming
launches or for programs that have not fully ramped up production;
- costs incurred to develop and grow our electronics capabilities;
and - customer price concessions subsequent to the second quarter
of 2008. These factors were partially offset by: - lower
affiliation fees paid to corporate; - no employee profit sharing
for the first six months of 2009; - incremental margin earned
related to the acquisition of Cadence; - lower incentive
compensation; - the benefit of cost saving initiatives, including
reduced discretionary spending, employee reductions, short work
week schedules, reduced bonuses, and voluntary wage reductions; and
- the sale of certain underperforming divisions during or
subsequent to the first six months of 2008. Rest of World EBIT in
Rest of World decreased $13 million to $7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $20 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 primarily as a result of costs incurred
at new facilities, substantially in India partially offset by
incremental margin earned on new programs that launched during or
subsequent to the first six months of 2008 in China. Corporate and
Other Corporate and Other EBIT decreased $20 million to a loss of
$21 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a
loss of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily
as a result of: - a decrease in affiliation fees earned from our
divisions; and - a decrease in equity income earned. These factors
were partially offset by: - a $17 million write-down of our
investment in asset-backed commercial paper during the first six
months of 2008; - decreased executive compensation; and - the
benefit of cost saving initiatives, including reduced discretionary
spending, employee reductions, short work week schedules, reduced
bonuses, voluntary wage reductions and benefit plan changes.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The previous discussion may contain statements that, to the extent
that they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable
securities legislation. 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. We use words such as
"may", "would", "could", "will", "likely", "expect", "anticipate",
"believe", "intend", "plan", "forecast", "project", "estimate" and
similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Any
such forward-looking statements 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,
including, without limitation: the potential for an extended global
recession, including its impact on our liquidity; the persistence
of low production volumes and sales levels; restructuring of the
global automotive industry and the impact on 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
distress of some of our suppliers and the risk of their insolvency,
bankruptcy or financial restructuring; restructuring and/or
downsizing costs related to the rationalization of some of our
operations; impairment charges; shifts in technology; our ability
to successfully grow our sales to non-traditional customers; a
reduction in the production volumes of certain vehicles, such as
certain light trucks; our dependence on outsourcing by our
customers; risks of conducting business in foreign countries,
including Russia, India and China; our ability to quickly shift our
manufacturing footprint to take advantage of lower cost
manufacturing opportunities; the termination or non-renewal by our
customers of any material contracts; fluctuations in relative
currency values; our ability to successfully identify, complete and
integrate acquisitions; our proposed purchase of an equity stake in
Opel and the potential impact of an ownership stake in an OEM; the
continued exertion of pricing pressures by our customers and our
ability to offset price concessions demanded by our customers; the
impact of government financial intervention in the automotive
industry; disruptions in the capital and credit markets; warranty
and recall costs; 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; potential conflicts of interest involving our indirect
controlling shareholder, the Stronach Trust; 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. In evaluating forward-looking statements,
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. MAGNA INTERNATIONAL

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, 2008 audited consolidated
financial statements and notes included in the Company's 2008
Annual Report. These interim consolidated financial statements have
been prepared using the same accounting policies as the December
31, 2008 annual consolidated financial statements, except the
Company retrospectively adopted the new Canadian Institute of
Chartered Accountants Handbook Section 3064, "Goodwill and
Intangible Assets", with no restatement of prior periods. The
adoption of these recommendations had no material impact on the
interim 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
June 30, 2009 and the results of operations and cash flows for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. 2.
IMPAIRMENT CHARGES The Company completes its annual goodwill and
long-lived impairment analyses in the fourth quarter of each year
in conjunction with its annual business planning process. However,
goodwill must be tested for impairment when an event or
circumstance occurs that more likely than not reduces the fair
value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. After failing
to reach a favourable labour agreement at a powertrain 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 the Powertrain North America
reporting unit could potentially be impaired. Therefore, the
Company made a reasonable estimate of the goodwill impairment by
determining the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner
as if it had acquired the reporting unit as at June 30, 2009. As a
result, during the second quarter of 2009 the Company recorded a
$75 million goodwill impairment at its Powertrain North America
reporting unit, representing its best estimate of the impairment.
Due to the judgment involved in determining the fair value of the
reporting unit's assets and liabilities, the final amount of the
goodwill impairment charge could differ from the amount estimated.
An adjustment, if any, to the estimated impairment charge, based on
finalization of the impairment analysis, would be recorded during
the fourth quarter of 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, the
Company recorded restructuring costs of $6 million ($6 million
after tax) related to the planned closure of the powertrain
facility, substantially all of which will be paid subsequent to
2009. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded asset
impairments of $9 million ($7 million after tax) relating to
certain assets in the United States and the United Kingdom. 3.

4. ACQUISITIONS On May 11, 2009, Magna acquired Cadence Innovation
s.r.o., a manufacturer of exterior and interior systems. The
acquired business is primarily located in the Czech Republic with
sales to various customers, including Skoda. On June 1, 2009, Magna
acquired several facilities from Meridian Automotive Systems Inc.
The facilities located in the United States and Mexico manufacture
composites for various customers. The total consideration for these
acquisitions and certain other acquisitions was $119 million,
consisting of $39 million paid in cash and $80 million of assumed
debt. The purchase price allocations for these acquisitions are
preliminary and adjustments to the allocations may occur as a
result of obtaining more information regarding asset valuations. On
a preliminary basis, an allocation of the excess purchase price
over the book value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has
been made to fixed assets and intangible assets. 5. OTHER ASSETS

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 new 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 term debt as shown in the
balance sheets. Total capitalization includes debt and all
components of shareholders' equity. The Company's capitalization
and debt to total capitalization is as follows: June 30, December

(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, bank indebtedness,
accounts payable, accrued salaries and wages, other accrued
liabilities and income taxes receivable. 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 June 30, 2009, the Company held Canadian
third party asset-backed commercial paper ("ABCP") with a face
value of Cdn$134 million. The carrying value and estimated fair
value of this investment was Cdn$79 million (December 31, 2008 -
Cdn$79 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. Term debt The Company's
term debt includes $250 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, 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.
Sales to the Company's three largest customers, General Motors,
Ford and Chrysler for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
represented 41% and 38% of the Company's total sales, respectively.
On June 1, 2009, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of
New York approved the sale, pursuant to Section 363 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code, of Chrysler LLC's principal assets and operations
to Chrysler Group LLC, a new company formed in alliance with Fiat
SpA. As a result of the sale, which was completed on June 10, 2009,
the continuing operations of the new Chrysler are no longer subject
to bankruptcy protection. The Company's sales to Chrysler for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were $175 million or 4.7%
of consolidated sales and $563 million or 7.7% of consolidated
sales, respectively. As at June 30, 2009, accounts receivable from
Chrysler were $156 million. On July 6, 2009, the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court, Southern District of New York approved the sale, pursuant to
Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, of General Motors
Corporation's principal assets and operations to General Motors
Company, a new company owned primarily by the United States,
Canadian and Ontario governments, and by a trust for providing
medical benefits to United Auto Workers retirees. As a result of
the sale, which was completed on July 10, 2009, the continuing
operations of the new General Motors are no longer subject to
bankruptcy protection. The Company's sales to General Motors for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were $587 million or
15.8% of consolidated sales and $1,266 million or 17.4% of
consolidated sales, respectively. As at June 30, 2009, accounts
receivable from General Motors were $273 million. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2009, sales to the Company's six largest
customers (including the Detroit 3) represented 81% and 82% of our
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 June 30, 2009,
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 Three months ended
