Global light vehicle production decreased 17% in the fourth quarter, reflecting decreases of 20% in North America, 28% in Europe, and 10% in China. Lower light vehicle production was driven by the semiconductor chip shortages, which the industry has faced throughout 2021.
Magna posted sales of US$36.2bn for the year ended 31 December, 2021, an increase of 11% from the year ended 31 December, 2020, compared to global light vehicle production, which increased 4%.
“Although 2021 presented its share of challenges, we delivered above-market sales growth and generated solid free cash flow, as we worked closely with our customers and suppliers to minimise the impacts on vehicle production,” said Magna CEO, Swamy Kotagiri.
“Despite significant input cost headwinds, we expect improved operating results in 2022 as the industry recovers and production schedules normalise.
