The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.08, missing the street view of $1.25.

Magna International gained from 2% and 11% higher production in North America and China, respectively, partially offset by 2% lower production in Europe.

In addition to higher global production, the company's sales benefitted from launching new programs and acquiring Veoneer Active Safety.

Adjusted EBIT increased to $469 million in the quarter compared to $449 million in the first quarter of 2023.
