The Aurora, Ont.-based company—which reports in U.S. currency—says diluted earnings per share were equal to $1.41, up from $538 million or $1.29 in the second quarter of 2015.
Magna says it posted sales of $9.4 billion in the quarter—up 16 per cent from $8.1 billion—while North American and European light vehicle production volume increased two per cent and six per cent respectively.
The company’s complete vehicle assembly sales increased seven per cent in the quarter compared to last year while complete vehicle assembly volumes fell nine per cent.
