Magna International Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The Body Exteriors & Structures segment’s revenues were $4.47 billion, down 2% year over year. This can be attributed to the end of production of certain programs, the weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar and customer price concessions. Revenues also lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.59 billion. The segment reported an adjusted EBIT of $341 million, down from $394 million recorded in the year-ago period. The metric also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $371 million because of higher production input costs net of customer recoveries, reduced earnings on lower sales and higher supply chain and restructuring costs.
The Power & Vision segment’s revenues increased 13.4% year over year to $3.93 billion on higher production on certain programs, smart pricing, the launch of new programs and benefits from acquisitions. The metric, however, missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.96 billion. Segmental adjusted EBIT rose from $124 million to $198 million due to an increase in earnings on higher sales and lower engineering costs. The metric, however, missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $214 million.
Revenues from the Seating Systems segment fell 9.2% year over year to $1.46 billion and missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.51 billion on customer price concessions, the end of production of certain programs and net weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.

The Complete Vehicles segment’s revenues decreased 18.6% year over year to $1.24 billion and missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.26 billion due to lower assembly volumes. The segment reported an adjusted EBIT of $20 million, which fell from the $34 million reported in the year-ago period but outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.55 million.
