THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021
As a result of significant production disruptions due to the global semiconductor chip shortage that continues to negatively impact global light vehicle production, our sales, Adjusted EBIT and diluted earnings per share came in well below our expectations for the second quarter of 2021.
The second quarter of 2020 included unprecedented, industry-wide production suspensions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while the second quarter of 2021 included the production disruptions due to the ongoing global semiconductor chip shortage, making the quarters difficult to compare.
We posted sales of $9.0 billion for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 110% over the second quarter of 2020, as global light vehicle production increased 58%, largely driven by increases in North America and Europe.
Adjusted EBIT of $557 million in the second quarter of 2021 increased $1.2 billion over the second quarter of 2020, largely driven by higher sales.
Income (loss) from operations before income taxes was $540 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $(789) million in the second quarter of 2020. Included in income from operations before income taxes in the second quarter of 2021 were Other expense, net items totaling $6 million, comprised of net restructuring costs, partially offset by unrealized gains related to the revaluation of public company warrants and certain public and private equity investments. Included in loss from operations before income taxes in the second quarter of 2020 were Other expense, net items totaling $168 million comprised of restructuring and impairment charges. Excluding Other expense, net from both periods, income from operations before income taxes increased $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020.
Net income (loss) attributable to Magna International Inc. was $424 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $(647) million for the second quarter of 2020. Included in net income attributable to Magna International Inc. in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020 were Other expense, net items totaling $2 million and $136 million after tax, respectively. Excluding Other income, net from both periods, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. increased $937 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share increased to $1.40 in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $(2.17) in the comparable period and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share increased 182% to $1.40 compared to $(1.71).
In the second quarter of 2021, we generated cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $777 million and used $249 million in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities for the second quarter of 2021 included $277 million in fixed asset additions, a $93 million increase in investments, other assets and intangible assets, $21 million in acquisitions, and $17 million in public and private equity investments.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021
We posted sales of $19.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of 48% from the six months ended June 30, 2020, as global light vehicle production increased 36%, largely driven by a 41% increase in North America and a 37% increase in Europe.
Adjusted EBIT was $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to an Adjusted EBIT loss of $197 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, largely driven by higher sales.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, income from operations before income taxes was $1.3 billion, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $1.0 billion and diluted earnings per share was $3.42, increases of $1.7 billion, $1.4 billion and $4.71, respectively, each compared to the first six months of 2020.
During the first six months ended June 30, 2021, Adjusted EBIT increased to $1.3 billion and Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased to $3.27, each compared to the first six months of 2020.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we generated cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.7 billion and used $559 million in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included $489 million in fixed asset additions, a $197 million increase in investments, other assets and intangible assets, and $20 million in public and private equity investments. We also assumed net cash of $18 million related to business combinations.
RETURN OF CAPITAL TO SHAREHOLDERS
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we paid dividends of $127 million and repurchased for cancellation 1.0 million shares for $99 million.
Our Board of Directors declared a second quarter dividend of $0.43 per Common Share, payable on September 3, 2021 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 20, 2021.

Our Outlook is intended to provide information about management's current expectations and plans and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although considered reasonable by Magna as of the date of this document, the 2021 Outlook above and the underlying assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from our expectations as set forth herein. The risks identified in the "Forward-Looking Statements" section below represent the primary factors which we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.
Key Drivers of Our Business
Our operating results are primarily dependent on the levels of North American, European and Chinese car and light truck production by our customers. While we supply systems and components to every major original equipment manufacturer ("OEM"), we do not supply systems and components for every vehicle, nor is the value of our content consistent from one vehicle to the next. As a result, customer and program mix relative to market trends, as well as the value of our content on specific vehicle production programs, are also important drivers of our results.
OEM production volumes are generally aligned with vehicle sales levels and thus affected by changes in such levels. Aside from vehicle sales levels, production volumes are typically impacted by a range of factors, including: general economic and political conditions; labour disruptions; free trade arrangements; tariffs; relative currency values; commodities prices; supply chains; infrastructure; availability and relative cost of skilled labour; regulatory considerations, including those related to environmental emissions and safety standards; and other factors. Additionally, COVID-19 can impact vehicle production volumes, including through: mandatory stay-at-home orders which restrict production; elevated employee absenteeism; and supply chain disruptions.
Overall vehicle sales levels are significantly affected by changes in consumer confidence levels, which may in turn be impacted by consumer perceptions and general trends related to the job, housing and stock markets, as well as other macroeconomic and political factors. Other factors which typically impact vehicle sales levels and thus production volumes include: interest rates and/or availability of credit; fuel and energy prices; relative currency values; regulatory restrictions on use of vehicles in certain megacities; and other factors. Additionally, COVID-19 can impact vehicle sales, including through mandatory stay-at-home orders which restrict operations of car dealerships, as well as through deterioration in consumer confidence.

Certain of the forward-looking financial measures above are provided on a Non-GAAP basis. We do not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To do so would be potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting items that are not reflective of on-going operations in any future period. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant.
