1 The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). However, the Company considers certain non-IFRS financial measures as useful additional information in measuring the financial performance and condition of the Company. These measures, which the Company believes are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company’s performance, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures, included anywhere in this press release, include “Adjusted Net Income (Loss)”, “Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per Share (on a basic and diluted basis)”, “Adjusted Operating Income (Loss)”, "Adjusted EBITDA”, “Free Cash Flow” and “Net Debt”. The relevant IFRS financial measure, as applicable, and a reconciliation of certain non-IFRS financial measures to measures determined in accordance with IFRS are contained in the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in this press release.
OVERVIEW
Pat D’Eramo, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We continued to face challenges during the fourth quarter from lower volumes due to the global semiconductor shortage and other supply chain issues that have significantly disrupted production, as well as a negative sales mix, cost inflation, operational inefficiencies impacted by customer production fluctuation, and higher than normal costs related to substantial new business launch activity. On a positive note, results improved sequentially over the third quarter, and we are off to a measurably better start in 2022, as we are seeing higher volumes and greater production stability with fewer customer production call-offs in the first quarter. While we are not out of the woods yet, and uncertainty remains, we expect our results will continue to improve throughout the year, as supply issues are resolved, and our cadence of launch activity normalizes. In addition, commercial negotiations aimed at recovering a portion of the inflationary costs that have weighed on our margins in recent quarters continue with our customers. We have had a number of positive outcomes on this front and expect that we will have more success moving forward.”
He added: “I am also pleased to announce new business wins since we reported our last quarter totaling $100 million in annualized sales at mature volumes, including approximately $50 million in our Lightweight Structures Group with General Motors, $35 million of various Propulsion Systems work with General Motors, Ford, Daimler, and Tesla, and $15 million in our Flexible Manufacturing Group with Lucid, General Motors, John Deere, and Thermo-King. 70% of these new business wins are on pure electric vehicle platforms, as our product portfolio continues to evolve in lockstep with the overall electrification trend. New business awards since the beginning of 2021 now total approximately $300 million in annualized sales at mature volumes.”
Fred Di Tosto, Chief Financial Officer, stated: “Sales for the fourth quarter, excluding tooling sales of $203.6 million, were $849.9 million. Our Adjusted Operating Loss(1) was $2.9 million, and Adjusted Net Loss per Share(1) was $0.12. While results continued to be impacted by volume, mix and cost headwinds on a year-over-year basis, they were sequentially higher, and broadly in line with our expectations. We also generated $21 million of positive Free Cash Flow(1), during the quarter, largely driven by a reduction in tooling-related working capital. While we would not extrapolate this amount going forward as tooling-related working capital flows can be lumpy and unpredictable, we do expect to generate positive Free Cash Flow(1) on a full-year basis in 2022.”
He added: “Net debt(1) was essentially flat quarter-over-quarter, ending the year at $858 million. Our net debt to adjusted EBITDA(1) ratio was 3.11x, an increase from approximately 2.5x last quarter. During the quarter, and in light of the semiconductor shortage and other challenges, we proactively amended our lending agreements with our banking syndicate to provide increased financial covenant flexibility. The Company’s calculation of its net debt to adjusted EBITDA(1) ratio for covenant purposes now excludes adjusted EBITDA(1) from the third and fourth quarters of 2021 and is based on the annualized total of the remaining quarters in the relevant trailing twelve-month period. In addition, the maximum net debt to adjusted EBITDA(1) covenant has been increased to 4.0x, 4.5x, and 3.75x for the first, second, and third quarters of 2022, respectively, returning to 3.0x thereafter. Our net debt to adjusted EBITDA(1) ratio for bank covenant purposes was 2.21x at the end of the quarter. We have strong relationships with our lenders, and we thank them for their continued support.”
Rob Wildeboer, Executive Chairman, stated: “We continue to have a high degree of confidence in our ability to achieve the targets set out in our 2023 outlook, which calls for total sales (including tooling sales) of $4.6 to $4.8 billion, an adjusted operating income margin(1) exceeding 8%, and more than $200 million in Free Cash Flow(1). Demand for vehicles remains robust, and inventories continue to trend near all-time lows. We believe this sets the stage for a multi-year period of strong industry volume growth once supply chain conditions improve. We also expect our sales growth to outpace industry production growth given the substantial amount of new business that we have won in recent years that we continue to launch on. This, along with a recovery of material labour and energy costs, operational improvements, a reduction in the pace of new business launch activity, and a normalization of capital spending should enable us to achieve these targets.”
He added: “We also published our 2021 Sustainability Report today, which outlines the progress we have made on various Environmental, Social, and Governance issues throughout the year. One particularly noteworthy highlight is that we continued to deliver industry-leading safety performance in 2021, with a Total Recordable Injury Frequency (TRIF) of 1.37x, representing a 46% improvement over last year, and a 91% improvement since 2014. This is a significant achievement, and we are proud of the collective efforts of all our people in making this happen. We believe this demonstrates the commitment that our organization and its people have to our unique culture, based on our Golden Rule philosophy of treating people the way we want to be treated – with dignity and respect.”

The Company’s consolidated sales for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased by $17.5 million or 1.6% to $1,053.4 million as compared to $1,071.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The total decrease in sales was driven by year-over-year decreases in the North America and Rest of the World operating segments, partially offset by a year-over-year increase in Europe.
Sales for the fourth quarter of 2021 in the Company’s North America operating segment decreased by $19.9 million or 2.5% to $772.2 million from $792.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was due to overall lower industry volumes, primarily as a result of the impact the industry-wide shortage of semiconductor chips resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic had on OEM production of certain light vehicle platforms; and the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of U.S. denominated production sales, which had a negative impact on overall sales for the fourth quarter of 2021 of $24.8 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. These negative factors were partially offset by the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2020, including the new Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer, Ford Mach E Mustang, and a six-cylinder aluminum engine block for Ford; and an increase in tooling sales of $89.0 million, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer. Overall fourth quarter OEM light vehicle production volumes in North America decreased by approximately 17% year-over-year, with the industry-wide shortage of semiconductor chips negatively impacting current year volumes.
Sales for the fourth quarter of 2021 in the Company’s Europe operating segment increased by $4.5 million or 1.9% to $239.1 million from $234.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase can be attributed to a $20.4 million increase in tooling sales and the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2020, mainly with Daimler, Ford, Volvo, and Lucid Motors. These positive factors were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of Euro denominated production sales, which had a negative impact on overall sales for the fourth quarter of 2021 of $13.4 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020; and overall lower OEM light vehicle production volumes, which decreased in Europe by approximately 27% year-over-year, primarily as a result of the industry-wide shortage of semiconductor chips.
Sales for the fourth quarter of 2021 in the Company’s Rest of the World operating segment decreased by $1.0 million or 2.0% to $47.1 million from $48.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was largely driven by lower year-over-year production volumes, including a program that came with from the operations acquired from Metalsa that ended production during or subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2020; and a $0.3 million negative foreign exchange impact from the translation of foreign denominated production sales as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. These negative factors were partially offset by the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2020, namely with Geely; and a $5.6 million increase in tooling sales.
Overall tooling sales increased by $115.0 million to $203.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 from $88.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.

The Company’s consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $408.7 million or 12.1% to $3,784.0 million as compared to $3,375.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased year-over-year across all operating segments.
Sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 in the Company’s North America operating segment increased by $200.3 million or 7.9% to $2,737.5 million from $2,537.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The operations acquired from Metalsa, results for which were consolidated with those of the Company effective March 2, 2020, accounted for $27.2 million of the year-over-year increase in sales (including a $4.8 million increase in tooling sales). Excluding the acquired operations, sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 in North America increased year-over-year by $173.1 million or 7.0%. The increase was due generally to the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2020, including the new Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer, Ford Mach E Mustang, Nissan Rogue and Pathfinder, and a six-cylinder aluminum engine block for Ford; and an increase in tooling sales of $133.1 million, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer. These positive factors were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of U.S.-denominated production sales, which had a negative impact on overall sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 of approximately $153.7 million as compared to the corresponding period of 2020; and lower OEM production volumes on specific light vehicle platforms as a result of the industry-wide shortage of semiconductor chips, including the GM Equinox / Terrain and Ford's Edge and Escape.
Sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 in the Company’s Europe operating segment increased by $216.1 million or 31.6% to $900.0 million from $683.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The operations acquired from Metalsa, results for which were consolidated with those of the Company effective March 2, 2020, accounted for $87.2 million of the year-over-year increase in sales (including a $27.5 million increase in tooling sales). Excluding the acquired operations, sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 in Europe increased year-over-year by $128.9 million or 24.3%. The increase can be attributed to the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2020, mainly with Daimler, Ford, Volvo, and Lucid Motors, and higher OEM production volumes on specific light vehicle and powertrain platforms, largely with Daimler. These positive factors were partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of Euro denominated production sales, which had a negative impact on overall sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 of $14.2 million as compared to the corresponding period of 2020; and a $9.7 million decrease in tooling sales.
Sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 in the Company’s Rest of the World operating segment increased by $4.1 million or 2.5% to $172.9 million from $168.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Sales from the operations acquired from Metalsa, results for which were consolidated with those of the Company effective March 2, 2020, decreased by $6.5 million year-over-year due to a program that ended production during 2021. Excluding the acquired operations, sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 in the Rest of the World increased year-over-year by $10.6 million or 10.8%. The increase was largely driven by higher year-over-year OEM production volumes, mainly in Brazil; and the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2020, namely with Geely. These positive factors were partially offset by a $4.9 million negative foreign exchange impact from the translation of foreign-denominated production sales as compared to the corresponding period of 2020 and a $0.2 million decrease in tooling sales.
Overall tooling sales, inclusive of the operations acquired from Metalsa, increased by $155.5 million to $373.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $218.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

| Gross margin | $ | 63,032 | | | $ | 155,841 | | | (92,809 | ) | | (59.6 | )% |
| % of Sales | | 6.0 | % | | | 14.6 | % | | | | | | |
The gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter of 2021 of 6.0% decreased as a percentage of sales by 8.6% as compared to the gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter of 2020 of 14.6%. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales was generally due to:
- overall lower production sales volume and corresponding lower utilization of assets, driven primarily by the industry-wide shortage of semiconductor chips;
- a negative sales mix;
- production inefficiencies related to the semiconductor chip shortage driven by production lines being stopped/restarted unexpectedly based on OEMs’ production priorities;
- generally higher labour, material and energy costs;
- other operational inefficiencies at certain operating facilities, including launch related costs and upfront costs incurred in preparation of upcoming new programs;
- an increase in tooling sales, which typically earn low margins for the Company; and
- a decrease in COVID-related government subsidies.
These factors were partially offset by productivity and efficiency improvements at certain operating facilities.

The gross margin percentage for the year ended December 31, 2021 of 9.1% decreased as a percentage of sales by 3.2% as compared to the gross margin percentage for the year ended December 31, 2020 of 12.3%. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales was generally due to:
- a negative sales mix;
- production inefficiencies related to the semiconductor chip shortage driven by production lines being stopped/restarted unexpectedly based on OEMs’ production priorities;
- generally higher labour, material and energy costs;
- other operational inefficiencies at certain operating facilities, including launch related costs and upfront costs incurred in preparation of upcoming new programs;
- an increase in the cost of aluminum raw material in conjunction with a temporary lag in the offsetting contractual increase in selling prices to the Company’s customers, largely in the first quarter of 2021;
- an increase in tooling sales, which typically earn low margins for the Company; and
- a decrease in COVID-related government subsidies.
These factors were partially offset by contribution from higher sales volume, as previously explained, and productivity and efficiency improvements at certain operating facilities.

| (1) | Restructuring costs |
| | |
| | Additions to the restructuring provision for the year ended December 31, 2021, recognized during the first and second quarters of 2021, totaled $5.5 million and represent employee-related severance resulting from the rightsizing of an operating facility in Germany. |
| | |
| | Additions to the restructuring provision for the year ended December 31, 2020, recognized during the second quarter of 2020, totaled $8.2 million and represent employee-related severance resulting from a reduction in the Company’s workforce globally in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Of the total addition to the restructuring provision, $6.6 million relates to North America, $1.0 million to Europe and $0.6 million to the Rest of the World. |
| | |
| (2) | Gain on dilution of equity investments |
| | |
| | As at December 31, 2020, the Company held 34,045,954 common shares of NanoXplore Inc. (“NanoXplore”) representing a 23.3% equity interest in NanoXplore (on a non-diluted basis). On February 12, 2021, NanoXplore completed a public offering of 11,500,000 common shares for gross proceeds of $46.0 million. In a separate transaction on February 12, 2021, the Company purchased 1,000,000 common shares from NanoXplore’s President and Chief Executive Officer for consideration of $4.0 million. Subsequent to these transactions, the Company’s net ownership interest decreased to 22.2% from 23.3%. This dilution resulted in a deemed disposition of a portion of the Company’s ownership interest in NanoXplore, resulting in a gain on dilution of $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. |
| | |
| | During the fourth quarter of 2020, NanoXplore converted an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures into common shares. Consequently, the Company's net ownership interest decreased to 23.3% from 24.3%. This dilution resulted in a deemed disposition of a portion of the Company's ownership interest in NanoXplore, resulting in a gain on dilution of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. |
| | |
| (3) | Impairment of assets |
| | |
| | The significant reduction in volumes and industry production projections as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic negatively impacted the recoverable amount of certain of the Company’s production-related assets and also changed the expected usage of certain other assets. As a result, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company completed an analysis of its asset base and concluded there existed certain indicators of impairment for specific assets and cash-generating units ("CGU"). Accordingly, the Company tested these assets and CGUs for recoverability using projected sales and cash flows modelled from industry production projections. Based on the results of this testing, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, intangible assets and inventories across its three operating segments totaling $85.8 million, including specific assets that are no longer expected to be redeployed or transferred to other facilities. The charges related to assets and CGUs across various jurisdictions in the Company’s segments, including the United States, Slovakia, China and Brazil. Of the total impairment charge, $72.2 million was recognized in North America, $1.3 million in Europe, and $12.3 million in the Rest of the World. For the specific assets that are no longer expected to be redeployed or transferred, the impairment charges are based on the estimated salvage value of the assets. For the CGUs, the impairment charges were recorded where the carrying amount of the CGUs exceeded their estimated recoverable amounts. |
| | |
| (4) | Transaction costs associated with the operations acquired from Metalsa (recorded as SG&A) |
| | |
| | On March 2, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of the structural components for passenger car operations of Metalsa S.A, de C.V. Included in SG&A expense are transaction costs related to the acquisition totaling $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. |

| Basic and Diluted | $ | (0.12 | ) | | $ | 0.55 | | | | | | |
Net Income (Loss), before adjustments, for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased by $54.6 million to a Net Loss of $9.7 million or ($0.12) per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from a Net Income of $45.0 million or $0.56 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding the adjustments explained in Table A under “Adjustments to Net Income (Loss)”, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased by $53.9 million to an Adjusted Net Loss of $9.7 million or ($0.12) per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from Adjusted Net Income of $44.2 million or $0.55 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the fourth quarter of 2020.
The Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss for the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared to Net Income and Adjusted Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2020, were negatively impacted by lower gross margin on lower year-over-year sales volume; partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in SG&A expense, as previously explained.

Net Income (Loss), before adjustments, for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $63.2 million to Net Income of $35.9 million from a Net Loss of $27.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 due largely to certain items incurred during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 as explained in Table B under “Adjustments to Net Income (Loss)”. Excluding these adjustments, Adjusted Net Income for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased to $32.9 million or $0.41 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from $46.9 million or $0.58 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Adjusted Net Income for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, was negatively impacted by the following:
- lower gross margin on higher year-over-year sales volume, as previously explained;
- a year-over-year increase in research and development costs; and
- an increase in the Company's share of loss of equity investments.
These factors were partially offset by the following:
- a net unrealized foreign exchange gain of $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to a loss of $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020;
- a year-over-year decrease in SG&A expense, as previously discussed;
- a year-over-year decrease in finance expense; and
- a lower effective tax rate on adjusted income (26.8% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 41.6% for the year ended December 31, 2020).
