Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Pension and Retirement Savings Committee of

The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans

Aurora, Ontario, Canada

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year), Schedule of Reportable Transactions, and Schedule of Delinquent Participant Contributions as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedules reconcile to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedules. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedules, including their form and content, are presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1.   Description of the Plan

 

The following description of The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the restated Plan Agreement or Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General

 

Certain employees of Magna International of America, Inc. (the “Primary Employer”) and other participating subsidiaries and affiliates of the Primary Employer (collectively the “Employer”) are eligible to participate in the Plan.

 

The Plan was established by the Primary Employer as the Magna International of America 401(k) Plan on August 1, 1992. The Primary Employer restated the Plan’s terms, provisions and conditions effective January 1, 2011.

 

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The Plan agreement provides that the Plan may invest in common stock of Magna International Inc. (“Magna”), the parent company of the Primary Employer.

 

The Plan is administered by Magna and individuals appointed by the Board of Directors of Magna. Principal Trust Company (“Principal”) is the appointed Trustee of the Plan.

 

401(k) Eligibility

 

An employee is eligible to participate on the first day of employment, and shall be eligible for matching contributions on the first day of the month following six months of service and attainment of 18 years of age.

 

Deferred Profit Sharing Eligibility

 

An employee is eligible to receive profit sharing contributions if the employee is employed at a participating employer on the last day of the Plan year and the employee has completed 1,000 hours of service in the Plan year.

 

Contributions and Automatic Enrollment

 

The 401(k) portion of the Plan is funded by contributions from employees who may elect to contribute from 1% to 50% of wages, as defined, subject to the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). The Employer may make a discretionary matching contribution. For the 2014 and 2013 plan year, the employer matching contribution was 50% of the first 6% of base earnings contributed by a participant, unless a collective bargaining agreement states differently. Employees may also defer 1% to 100% of their bonus for a given year, which is not eligible for a matching contribution by the Employer. Participants in the Plan may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans.

 

Employees are automatically enrolled after a 60-day opt out period. The Employer withholds an amount equal to a percentage of eligible employee compensation (other than bonus pay), until such time as the employee changes or stops the contribution.

The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Prior to January 1, 2013, the new hire automatic enrollment percentage was 3%. Effective January 1, 2013, the new hire automatic enrollment percentage increased to 6% of employee compensation (other than bonus pay) for non-union employees hired or rehired after January 1, 2013. Newly hired employees covered under a collective bargaining agreement, will be automatically enrolled at 3%.

 

Effective January 1, 2013, current employees who did not elect to make deferral contributions prior to December 31, 2012, were automatically enrolled at a 3% deferral percentage, and participants who were enrolled and contributing were automatically increased to a 3% deferral percentage if the participant was contributing at a rate that was less than 3%, until such time as the employee changes or stops the contribution.

 

An automatic increase feature became effective January 1, 2014 whereby the contribution percentage is increased by 1% per year up to a maximum contribution percentage of 6% for participants making a contribution of less than 6%, unless the employee changes or stops the contribution. The automatic increase does not apply to employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

 

The deferred profit sharing portion of the Plan is a non-contributory, defined contribution plan funded by discretionary Employer contributions as determined under the provisions of the Plan, which are generally based on years of service and consolidated profits as determined by the Employer.

 

Participant Accounts

 

Individual participant accounts are maintained by Principal and are credited with employee contributions, Employer contributions, and Plan earnings in the case of the 401(k) portion of the Plan and allocations of Employer contributions, Plan earnings, and forfeitures of former participants’ non-vested amounts in the case of the deferred profit sharing portion of the Plan. Allocations of contributions and forfeitures in the deferred profit sharing portion of the Plan are based upon compensation and years of service, as defined, while allocations of earnings are recognized by changes in the unit value. Such accounts are valued periodically in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

 

Vesting

 

Vesting for the deferred profit sharing portion of the Plan occurs on the following schedule:

employee. Immediate full vesting also occurs upon a participant’s death, total and permanent disability, permanent layoff, or attainment of normal retirement age of 60.

 

For the 401(k) portion of the Plan, participants are 100% vested immediately in Employer and employee contributions and allocated earnings thereon.

 

Forfeitures

 

For the deferred profit sharing portion of the Plan, the non-vested portion of a terminated participant’s account balance is allocated to other Plan participants after the former participant has five consecutive one-year service breaks. During 2014 and 2013, allocated forfeitures were $873 thousand and $564 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $1,976 thousand and $786 thousand, respectively.

 

Plan Benefits

 

For the deferred profit sharing portion of the Plan, participants are eligible to receive vested benefits based upon the most recent valuation of their account upon termination of service with the Employer. Under certain provisions of the Plan, a percentage of vested benefits may also be distributed after 10 continuous years of service and/or upon reaching age 55. Distributions of Plan benefits are made to eligible participants in one lump-sum payment. Only vested balances of a participant’s profit sharing contribution account as of December 31, 2007 are eligible for in-service withdrawals.

 

For the 401(k) portion of the Plan, upon retirement, death, disability or termination of service, benefits will be paid in the form of a lump-sum distribution. Certain other withdrawals are permitted in the event of financial hardship, as defined in the Plan agreement.

 

Notes Receivable From Participants

 

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance excluding amounts related to the participant’s deferred profit sharing account. Participant note terms range from one to five years or up to 10 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The notes are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at the then current prime plus 2% as determined by the Plan Administrator. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions, not less frequently than quarterly. As of December 31, 2014 outstanding notes receivable had interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 10.25%.

 

Plan Termination

 

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Employer has the right to terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan is terminated, all participant accounts will become 100% vested and non-forfeitable.

 

Participant and Non-Participant Directed Investments

 

Participants may invest in Magna International Inc. Common Stock (Employer Securities). For the deferred profit sharing portion of the Plan, 4/7th of the annual profit sharing contribution, as defined, is invested in Employer Securities, referred to as the non-participant-directed portion of

the Plan. The remaining portion of the annual profit sharing contribution is directed by the employee and may include investments in Employer Securities. Participants with a minimum of three years of service or upon attainment of age 55 may diversify up to 100% of Employer Securities held in their account. Voting rights are all retained by the trustee per the direction of the Employer.

 

Administrative Expenses

 

The Employer administers the Plan. The Employer pays certain administrative expenses of the Plan and the Employer also provides certain administrative services, which have not been charged to the Plan. The amount of such expenses and cost of such services have not been determined. Certain administrative expenses not paid directly by the Employer may be paid from the Plan in accordance with ERISA provisions.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Financial Statements

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value.  However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount a participant would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan.  The Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value.  The Statement of Changes in Nets Assets Available for Benefits is prepared using the contract value basis for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts.

 

Subsequent Events

 

On April 16, 2015 Magna announced that they entered an agreement to sell all interiors operations, including five U.S.-based divisions.  The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2015.  The 2,298 participants will be provided with an opportunity to voluntarily roll their accounts and loans in to the new employer’s plan.

 

Effective May 5, 2015 Magna sold the Magna Steyr Battery Systems division.  Participants from the aforementioned division were terminated and will have the option to transfer their accounts.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

10



Table of Contents

 

The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

 

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Plan’s management determines the Plan’s valuation policies utilizing information provided by the investment advisors, Plan trustee and custodian. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.

 

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

 

Notes Receivable — Participant Loans

 

Participant loans are classified as notes receivable from participants, and are measured at the unpaid principal balance plus unpaid accrued interest. Defaulted loans, if any, are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan Document.

 

Concentration of Investments

 

Included in investments at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are shares of the Employer’s securities amounting to $395 million and $296 million, respectively. This investment represents 30% and 26% of total investments at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. A significant decline in the market value of the Employer’s securities would significantly affect the net assets available for benefits.

 

Payment of Benefits

 

Benefits are recorded when paid.

 

3.   Investments

 

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Plan utilizes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets.

 

11



Table of Contents

 

The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

The following valuation methodologies were used to measure the fair value of the Plan’s investments.  There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

The Principal Stable Value Fund: Daily valued by the trustee, Union Bond & Trust Company, based on the underlying investments which consist primarily of a diversified portfolio of stable value investment contracts issued by life insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions, the performance of which may be predicated on underlying fixed income investments. The Fund provides for daily redemptions at the reported NAV. Participants are permitted to redeem units at NAV on the valuation date. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made to the fund, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals. As of December 31, 2014, there were no reserves established against contract values for credit risk. The blended net crediting interest rate of this fund was 1.48% and 1.28% in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs): Valued at fair value by the insurance company based on contract value minus early withdrawal charges for discontinuance as defined in the investment contracts. In determining the reasonableness of the methodology, Plan management evaluates a number of factors including review of existing contracts, economic conditions, industry and market developments, and overall credit ratings. Certain unobservable inputs are assessed through review of contract terms while others are substantiated utilizing available market data. See Note 5 for additional information related to the GICs.

 

Pooled Separate Accounts (PSAs): Valued based on the underlying investments (i.e., common stock, mutual funds, short term securities). While the majority of the underlying assets values are based on quoted prices, the net asset value (NAV) of the pooled separate account is not publicly quoted. The NAV is reported by the fund managers as of the financial statement date based on recent transaction prices. The PSAs held by the Plan provide for daily redemptions by the Plan at reported NAV with no advance notice requirement. The Plan is permitted to redeem investment units at NAV on the measurement date. Principal may place transfer or liquidation restrictions on the U.S. Property Separate Account.  No such restrictions were in place during 2014 and 2013.  Generally, the PSA investments in any class can be transferred once every 30 days at the current NAV per share based on the fair value of the underlying assets. Participants are not allowed to transfer back into that originating class until the 30-day period has expired.

 

The PSAs in the large U.S. equity investment class seek to invest a majority of assets in common stocks of companies with large market capitalizations (those with market capitalizations similar to S&P 500 Index) at the time of purchase.

 

The PSAs in the small/mid U.S. equity investment class seek to invest a majority of assets in common stocks of companies with medium or small market capitalizations (those with market capitalizations similar to S&P MidCap 400 Index or S&P SmallCap 600 Index) at the time of purchase.

 

12



Table of Contents

 

The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

The PSAs in the international equity investment class seek to invest a majority of assets in companies with principal securities which trade on a foreign exchange, with small to medium market capitalizations and that derive 50% or more of their total revenue from goods or services produced or sold outside of the United States.

 

The PSAs in the fixed income investment class invest primarily in fixed securities such as asset backed securities, commercial and residential mortgage backed securities, corporate bonds or commercial real estate, which includes mortgage loans that are backed by the associated properties.

 

Common/Collective Trusts (CCTs): Valued at the net asset value (NAV) of the units held by the Plan which are based on the quoted market prices of the underlying securities of the funds. The unit price is based on the value of the underlying investment assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The Principal Trust Target Funds seek total return consisting of long-term growth of capital and current income, consistent with the investment strategy of an investor who expects to retire in a specific year. The Principal Trust Income Fund seeks current income and capital appreciation.

 

Employer Securities: Valued at the closing price quoted on a recognized securities exchange on the last business day of the Plan year.

 

Mutual Funds: Valued at quoted market prices of shares held by the Plan.

 

Life Insurance Policies: Valued at the cash surrender value of the individual policies.

 

The Plan’s valuation methods may result in a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Although Plan management believes the valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with the market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

5.   Guaranteed Investment Contracts

 

The Plan invests in the Guaranteed Fixed Income Option Fund Contract (GFIO), a guaranteed investment contract. The GFIO is a benefit responsive contract entered into with Principal Life Insurance Company (Principal). Principal maintains the contributions in a general account. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.

 

18



Table of Contents

 

The Magna Group of Companies Retirement Savings Plans

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

The GFIO is valued at fair value for presentation in the Plan’s assets and is then adjusted to contract value in the statement of net assets available for benefits. Contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is that amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. Certain events that may limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value are not probable of occurring.

 

The fair value of the GFIO represents contract value adjusted to reflect current market interest rates only to the extent such market rates exceed crediting interest rates.

 

There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The crediting interest rate is a blended rate determined using a dollar-weighted average of all the Guaranteed Interest Rates of the Guaranteed Interest Funds under this contract. Under the terms of the existing contract, the interest rate can be reset on an annual or semiannual basis. The GFIO is a single group annuity contract with a fixed rate of interest. The average yield earned by the plan and credited to participants was 1.38% and 2.48% during 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

6.          Related Party Transactions

 

Certain Plan investments are shares of guaranteed investment contracts, stable value fund, common/collective trusts, pooled separate accounts and mutual funds managed by Principal. Principal is the trustee as defined by the Plan and qualifies as a party-in-interest. The Plan also invests in the stock of the Employer.

 

7.          Income Tax Status

 

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated September 4, 2012 stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. The Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan document has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2014, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2011.

 

8.          Plan Transfers

 

Effective June 2, 2014, New Process Gear, Inc. became a participating Employer in the Plan and the New Process Gear, Inc. Deferred Pay Plan for UAW-Represented Employees (NPG Plan) was merged into the Plan. As a result, there was a transfer of approximately $10.2 million from the NPG Plan to the Plan on June 2, 2014.

9.          Delinquent Participant Contributions

 

The Employer failed to remit certain employee deferrals and loan repayments to the Plan in a timely manner according to DOL regulations during 2014 and 2013 aggregating $781 thousand and $299 thousand, respectively. The Employer has calculated lost earnings and deposited the lost earnings into the Plan for 2014 and 2013.
