Exhibit 3
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position
Results of Operations, page 5
2.In future filings, please discuss in greater detail the business reasons for the changes
between periods in your sales and expense line items. In addition, enhance your
disclosure to also discuss the business reasons for the changes between periods in the
significant line items of each of your segments. In doing so, disclose the amount of each
significant change in line items between periods and the business reasons for it. In
circumstances where there is more than one business reason for the change, quantify the
incremental impact of each individual business reason discussed on the overall change in
the line item. For example, your disclosure on page 5 indicates that sales increased
primarily due to (i) the launch of new programs during or subsequent to 2021, (ii) higher
global light vehicle production and (iii) customer price increases to recover certain higher
production input costs, but it is unclear how significantly each of these factors impacted
your sales. Please refer to Item 303(a)(3) of Regulation S-K for further information.
3.You state that you continue to experience elevated inflation in all markets in which you
operate, with higher commodity, energy, labour, freight and other production input pricing
expected to persist throughout 2023 and 2024. In future filings, please expand to identify
the principal factors contributing to the inflationary pressures the company has
experienced and clarify the resulting impact to the company.
4.Please further discuss in future filings whether supply chain disruptions materially affect
your outlook or business goals. Specify whether these challenges have materially
impacted your results of operations or capital resources and quantify, to the extent
possible, how your sales, profits, and/or liquidity have been impacted.
5.We note that you have experienced labour and other operational inefficiencies at your
facilities as a result of your production lines being stopped/started largely due to supply
constraints. Please revise your disclosure in future filings to discuss known trends or
uncertainties resulting from mitigation efforts undertaken, if any. Explain whether any
mitigation efforts introduce new material risks, including those related to product quality,
reliability, or regulatory approval of products.
