Magna International Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The Body Exteriors & Structures segment’s revenues were $4.04 billion, down 4% year over year. This can be attributed to the end of production of certain programs, lower production on a few programs, divestitures and customer price concessions. Revenues also lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.32 billion. The segment reported an adjusted EBIT of $273 million, down from $358 million recorded in the year-ago period. The metric also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $345 million because of higher production input costs net of customer recoveries, reduced earnings on lower sales, supply chain premiums and higher pre-operating costs.
The Power & Vision segment’s revenues increased 2% year over year to $3.84 billion on the launch of new programs, customer price increases, favorable foreign exchange translation and benefits from acquisitions. The metric also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.83 billion. Segmental adjusted EBIT rose from $221 million to $279 million due to an increase in earnings on higher sales. The metric also topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $228 million.
Revenues from the Seating Systems segment fell 10% year over year to $1.38 billion and missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.46 billion due to lower production and end of production.

The Complete Vehicles segment’s revenues decreased 2% year over year to $1.16 billion due to lower assembly volumes. The metric, however, beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.13 billion.
