Operating Highlights
Sales for the third quarter of 2022 (“Q3 2022”) were $2,098.1 million, up $453.1 million from $1,645.0 million in the third quarter of 2021 (“Q3 2021”).
Story continues
The Industrial segment (“Industrial”) product sales increased 22.9%, or $99.5 million, to $533.4 million in Q3 2022 from Q3 2021. The sales increase was due to:
increased sales related to the acquisition of Salford;
increased pricing to help partially relieve increased supply chain costs;
an increase in agricultural sales from market growth further improved by global market share growth in all core products; and
additional access equipment sales.
Sales for the Mobility segment (“Mobility”) increased by $353.6 million, or 29.2% in Q3 2022 compared with Q3 2021. The sales in Q3 2022 were impacted by:
a sales increase primarily attributed to an improvement in adverse conditions associated with supply related issues experienced by our customers compared to Q3 2021;
increased pricing related to cost recovery partially offsetting the associated raw material, utilities and freight increases;
additional sales for launching programs and increased volumes for certain programs that the Company has significant business with; and
increased sales related to the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the joint venture of GF Linamar LLC now known as LLM Mills River; partially offset by
an unfavourable impact on sales from the changes in foreign exchange rates from Q3 2021.

1 Operating Earnings (Loss) – Normalized, Net Earnings (Loss) – Normalized, Net Earnings (Loss) per Share – Diluted – Normalized, EBITDA, EBITDA – Normalized, Liquidity, and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company’s normalized operating earnings for Q3 2022 was $168.4 million. This compares to normalized operating earnings of $150.7 million in Q3 2021, an increase of $17.7 million.
Industrial segment normalized operating earnings in Q3 2022 increased $1.4 million, or 1.9% from Q3 2021. The Industrial normalized operating earnings results were predominantly driven by:
an increase in agricultural sales;
increased sales related to the acquisition of Salford;
an increase in access equipment sales; partially offset by
a reduction in the utilization of Government support programs related to the global COVID-19 pandemic; and
additional expenses from Skyjack’s manufacturing expansion into China and Mexico.
Q3 2022 normalized operating earnings for Mobility were higher by $16.3 million, or 21.0% compared to Q3 2021. The Mobility segment’s earnings were impacted by the following:
a sales increase primarily attributed to an improvement in adverse conditions associated with supply related issues experienced by our customers compared to Q3 2021;
additional sales for launching programs and increased volumes for certain programs that the Company has significant business with; and
a favourable impact from the changes in foreign exchange rates from Q3 2021; partially offset by
a reduction in the utilization of Government support programs related to the global COVID-19 pandemic;
reduction in earnings related to the acquisition of LLM Mills River;
an increase in management, sales costs and travel expenses supporting growth; and
increased costs related to raw material, utilities and freight partially offset by customer cost recovered in sales.
“It feels great to see a quarter of double digit top and bottom line growth in Q3,” said Linamar Executive Chair and CEO Linda Hasenfratz, “Our team is doing an excellent job of navigating some very tough conditions on the cost side and working closely with customers to manage the best outcomes for both parties. At the same time we are hitting it out of the park on new business wins, notably with electrified vehicles which are representing 71% of wins YTD and more than triple the dollar value of wins for all of last year. We also are back to seeing free cash flow as of Q3 and expect to see that trend continue through the end of the year. We are growing, winning new business and keeping our cash flow and balance sheet strong in a very tough environment, I am really proud of our team here at Linamar for achieving all of that.”
Dividends
The Board of Directors today declared an eligible dividend in respect to the quarter ended September 30, 2022 of CDN$0.20 per share on the common shares of the company, payable on or after December 2, 2022 to shareholders of record on November 22, 2022.
Non-GAAP And Other Financial Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP and other financial measures to provide useful information to both management, investors and other stakeholders in assessing the financial performance and financial condition of the Company.
Certain expenses and income that must be recognized under GAAP are not necessarily reflective of the Company’s underlying operational performance. For this reason, management uses certain non-GAAP and other financial measures when analyzing operational performance on a consistent basis.
These Non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore they are unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, and they should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
Normalized Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios
All Non-GAAP financial measures denoted with ‘Normalized’ as presented by the Company are adjusted for foreign exchange gain (loss), foreign exchange gain (loss) on debt and derivatives, and other items.

Operating Earnings (Loss) – Normalized is calculated as Operating Earnings (Loss), the most directly comparable measure as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings, adjusted for foreign exchange gain (loss), and any other items, if applicable, that are considered not to be indicative of underlying operational performance.
Net Earnings (Loss) – NormalizedNet Earnings (Loss) – Normalized is a non-GAAP financial measure and the Company believes it is useful in assessing the Company’s underlying operational performance and in making decisions regarding the ongoing operations of the business. Net Earnings (Loss) – Normalized is calculated as Net Earnings (Loss), the most directly comparable measure as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings, adjusted for foreign exchange gain (loss), foreign exchange gain (loss) on debt and derivatives, and any other items, if applicable, that are considered not to be indicative of underlying operational performance.

EBITDA and EBITDA – NormalizedEBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and the Company believes it is useful in assessing the Company’s underlying operational performance of cash flow and profitability, the effective use and allocation of resources, and to provide more meaningful comparisons of operating results. EBITDA is calculated as Net Earnings (Loss) before income taxes, the most directly comparable measure as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings, adjusted for amortization of property, plant and equipment, amortization of other intangible assets, finance costs, and other interest.
EBITDA – Normalized is a non-GAAP financial measure and the Company believes EBITDA – Normalized is useful in assessing the Company’s underlying operational performance of cash flow and profitability, the effective use and allocation of resources, and to provide more meaningful comparisons of operating results.

The Industrial segment is comprised of Skyjack, MacDon and Salford. Skyjack manufactures scissor, boom and telehandler lifts for the aerial work platform industry. MacDon manufactures combine draper headers and self-propelled windrowers for the agricultural harvesting industry. Salford also supplies the agriculture market with farm tillage and crop fertilizer applicator equipment. The Mobility segment is subdivided into three regional groups: North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

The Mobility segment products are focused on both components and systems for new energy powertrains, body and chassis, driveline, engine and transmission systems of these vehicles. In addition to the recently formed eLIN Product Solutions Group that focuses on Electrification, McLaren Engineering provides design, development, and testing services for the Mobility segment.
