Non-IFRS Measures

The Company now reports its financial results in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). However, the Company has included certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios in this Press Release that the Company believes will provide useful information in measuring the financial performance and financial condition of the Company.

First Quarter 2012 to First Quarter 2011 comparison

The Company's revenues for the first quarter of 2012 increased by $304.5 million or 70.6% to $735.7 million as compared to $431.2 million for the first quarter of 2011. The increase was partially due to $191.3 million in incremental revenue resulting from the inclusion of Martinrea Honsel in the consolidated financial results of the Company effective July 29, 2011, which caused sales in both the Company's Europe and Rest of World operating segments to increase significantly year-over-year. Included in the $137.9 million increase in revenue generated in North America was $24.0 million related to the operations of the Company's plant in Queretaro, Mexico which formed part of the Honsel acquisition. The remainder of the increase in revenue in North America was due to improved production volumes in North American light vehicle platforms, an increase in tooling revenue relating to upcoming new programs which is typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final inspection and acceptance by the customer, and the impact of exchange rates on the translation of U.S. dollar denominated revenue, which had a positive impact on revenue for the first quarter of 2012 of $5.1 million as compared to the first quarter of 2011.

Overall tooling revenue increased by $40.1 million from $11.8 million for the first quarter of 2011 to $51.9 million for the first quarter of 2012, $5.5 million of which was generated by Martinrea Honsel.

First Quarter 2012 to Fourth Quarter 2011 comparison

The Company's revenues for the first quarter of 2012 increased by $20.8 million or 2.9% to $735.7 million as compared to $714.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase was primarily due to an increase in tooling revenue in North America and slightly improved quarter-over-quarter production volumes in both the North America and Europe operating segments, offset by a decrease in production volumes in Brazil which resulted in revenue in the Rest of World operating segment to decrease by $7.7 million, and the translation of Euro denominated revenue, which negatively impacted revenue for the first quarter of 2012 by approximately $7.4 million.

Overall tooling revenue increased by $22.0 million from $29.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 to $51.9 million for the first quarter of 2012.

Overall North American OEM vehicle production for the first quarter of 2012 increased by approximately 14% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase in revenue in the Company's North American operating segment for the first quarter of 2012 over the fourth quarter of 2011 lagged behind overall North American vehicle production due generally to sales mix. The Company experienced quarter-over-quarter increases in revenues on the following customer platforms: GM Theta; GMT 800/900; Chrysler LX/LY; GM Global Delta; Chrysler RS/RT; Nissan FFL; Chrysler DR/DS; and GM Zeta. Increases on the above platforms were offset by the roll off of one-time business with Ford to manufacture fuel straps for the F-150 and decreases on the following platforms: Ford CD1-3; GM Sigma; Global Epsilon; Ford C1; Ford P2/D3; Ford U222-U228; and the Orion bus frame.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

First Quarter 2012 to First Quarter 2011 comparison

The gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2012 of 10.9% increased by 1.1% as compared to the gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2011 of 9.8%. The Company's gross margin for the first quarter of 2012 was positively impacted by the addition of the acquired operations of Martinrea Honsel. Excluding the operations of Honsel and tooling revenue, which increased significantly year-over-year and typically earns low or no margins for the Company, Martinrea's gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2012 would have been 11.8%, an increase over 10.1% realized in the first quarter of 2011. This increase was primarily due to increased gross margin as a result of higher light vehicle production volumes and productivity and efficiency improvements at certain North American operating facilities. Martinrea's gross margin for the first quarter of 2012, excluding the operations of Martinrea Honsel, would have been higher if not for $1.2 million of pre-operating costs at the Company's new facility in Silao, Mexico and launch activity at the Company's Shelbyville, Kentucky facility where the Company is currently ramping up for a significant program launch for Ford's C520 program, which negatively impacted gross margin for the quarter by approximately $1.7 million.

The Company's Shelbyville facility, approximating one million square feet, represents about 20% of the Company's square footage in North America and had a revenue run rate of about $50 million per year in the first quarter of 2012. A total of approximately $200 million in anticipated annualized business related to Ford's C520 program is in the process of being launched at this facility. The new work will greatly expand throughput and capacity utilization at Shelbyville, and is expected to turn a very large plant with negative gross margin and earnings and current ramp up costs into a positive gross margin and earnings contributor by the third quarter of 2012. This Ford C520 business consists of approximately $100 million in value added internally produced components and $100 million in components purchased from other suppliers that will be integrated with internally produced components to produce finished welded assemblies. The gross margins on components purchased from other suppliers are typically lower than for value added work, although return on capital is higher. After the launch of the Ford C520 program in Shelbyville, approximately 25% of Martinrea's business excluding Martinrea Honsel will involve integrator or assembly work.

First Quarter 2012 to Fourth Quarter 2011 comparison

Gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2012 of 10.9% decreased slightly by 0.1% as compared to the gross margin percentage for the fourth quarter of 2011 of 11.0%. Excluding tooling revenue, which increased significantly quarter-over quarter and typically earns no or low margins for the Company, gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2012 increased by 0.3% to 11.8% from 11.5% for the fourth quarter of 2011. This increase was primarily due to productivity and efficiency improvements at certain North American facilities. The increase in gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2012 would have been higher if not for pre-operating costs at the Company's new facility in Silao, Mexico which increased by $0.4 million quarter-over-quarter, launch activity at the Company's Shelbyville, Kentucky facility, where the Company is currently ramping up for a significant program launch for Ford's C520 program, which increased by $0.3 million quarter-over-quarter, and a decline in gross margin percentage in Brazil where the Company experienced a significant drop in sales volume as previously noted.

(1) Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment ("PP&E") and Intangible Assets

Impairment tests were conducted on PP&E and intangible assets at December 31, 2011. In addition, as required by IFRS, the Company evaluated all previously recorded impairment charges for potential reversal. Based on this analysis, incremental impairment charges were recorded which were partially offset by the reversal of certain previously recorded impairment charges resulting in a net impairment charge of $0.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2011. The reversal of previously recorded impairment charges under the requirements of IFRS in 2011 was primarily due to the significant improvements in North American vehicle production from 2009 and the benefits from the restructuring activities conducted during 2009 and 2010 which included the relocation of plant and equipment and the corresponding customer business to cost competitive facilities.

(2) Employee Related Severance and Other Restructuring Costs

As part of the acquisition of Honsel, a certain level of restructuring was planned at the Company's German facility in Meschede. The restructuring efforts commenced immediately after the closing of the acquisition and, as a result, $11.4 million of employee related severance was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2011 of which $1.4 million was recognized during the fourth quarter of 2011. An additional $0.6 million of employee related severance was recognized during the first quarter of 2012. The majority of the restructuring costs expected to be incurred at this German facility will be in the nature of employee related severance as the Company rationalizes the overhead cost structure of the facility and improves the efficiency of the operations. The Company anticipates that additional employee related severance will be incurred at the facility during the remainder of 2012.

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company began the process of closing one of its small operating facilities in Mexico. The existing business and equipment of this facility will be moved to other Company facilities in Mexico including a new facility the Company opened in Silao, Mexico in 2011. Restructuring costs relating to this closure during the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled $2.4 million consisting primarily of employee related severance ($1.5 million) and the dismantling and transporting of PP&E between Company facilities ($0.9 million). An additional $1.5 million of restructuring costs was recognized during the first quarter of 2012 consisting primarily of employee related severance ($0.2 million) and the dismantling and transporting of PP&E between Company facilities ($1.3 million).

At this time, the Company does not expect to incur any further significant restructuring costs with the exception of the settlement of the Windsor pension and OPEB plans which the Company will continue to fund over the next two years, the windup of the Martinrea Fabco Hot Stampings pension plan, the completion of the closure of the small operating facility in Mexico and any restructuring required relating to the acquired assets of Honsel (as discussed above), which, at this point in time, the Company believes will be limited to employee related severance as the Company rationalizes the overhead cost structure and improves the efficiency of the operations in Meschede, Germany.

(3) Transaction and Integration Costs Associated with the Acquisition of Honsel

On July 29, 2011, the Company closed the purchase of the assets of Honsel to form the Martinrea Honsel Group. Martinrea joined with Anchorage in the transaction and, consequently, owns 55% of the Martinrea Honsel Group with Anchorage owning the remaining 45%. The Company expensed $9.7 million in transaction and integration costs related to the acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2011 of which $1.6 million was expensed during the fourth quarter of 2011. An additional $0.6 million of integration costs was expensed during the first quarter of 2012. At this time, the Company does not expect to incur any further significant transaction and integration costs related to the acquired assets of Martinrea Honsel.

First Quarter 2012 to First Quarter 2011 comparison

Net earnings for the first quarter of 2012 of $23.1 million increased by $9.0 million from $14.0 million for the first quarter of 2011. Excluding unusual and other items incurred during first quarter of 2012 as explained in Table A under "Adjustments to Net Income", the net earnings for the first quarter of 2012 improved to $24.7 million or $0.30 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, in comparison to adjusted net earnings of $14.0 million or $0.17 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2011.

The net earnings and adjusted net earnings for the first quarter of 2012, as compared to the first quarter of 2011, were positively impacted by the addition of Martinrea Honsel to the consolidated financial results of the Company, an increase in customer production volumes in North America and productivity and efficiency improvements at certain North American facilities. The positive impact was offset by launch activity costs during the quarter predominantly at the Company's Shelbyville, Kentucky facility and pre-operating costs at the Company's new facility in Silao, Mexico.

First Quarter 2012 to Fourth Quarter 2011 comparison

Net earnings for the first quarter of 2012 of $23.1 million increased by $4.5 million from net earnings of $18.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. Excluding unusual and other items incurred during these two quarters, as explained in Table B under "Adjustments to Net Income", net earnings for the first quarter of 2012 improved to $24.7 million or $0.30 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, as compared to net earnings of $19.9 million or $0.24 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase can be attributed to a gross margin expansion in the Company's North American operations resulting from productivity and efficiency improvements at certain operating facilities, slightly higher customer production volumes in both North America and Europe, and a quarter-over-quarter decrease in SG&A expense as previously noted. Overall earnings during the first quarter of 2012 were negatively impacted by a decrease in light vehicle production volumes in Brazil which resulted in a quarter-over-quarter decrease in operating income in the Rest of World operating segment.

Capital expenditures increased by $9.2 million to $34.2 million in the first quarter of 2012 from $25.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. This increase is primarily attributed to incremental capital expenditures relating to Martinrea Honsel which amounted to $7.7 million.

First Quarter 2012 to Fourth Quarter 2011 comparison

Capital expenditures decreased by $13.3 million to $34.2 million in the first quarter of 2012 from $47.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The decrease can be attributed to the launch of new programs in 2012 for which the majority of capital expenditures were incurred in previous quarters. Capital expenditures incurred in both the quarters are primarily related to the purchase of new program equipment in response to newly awarded business scheduled to launch over the next two years and capital for a new plant the Company has recently opened in Silao, Mexico.

Nick Orlando, Martinrea's Chief Executive Officer, stated: "I am very pleased with our first quarter results. We experienced record revenues, profits and earnings per share. We continued to work on operational improvements at all plant locations and launches at several plants. One launch of particular importance is our launch at Shelbyville, which commenced several weeks ago and is ramping up. There are the usual challenges experienced with a major launch, but we are working through them. We are pleased to announce that we have won incremental business awards totaling $75 million annualized since January 1, 2012. This business consists of $50 million of new metal forming work for Ford on its Edge and MKX platforms to be manufactured in Oakville (launching in 2013), $15 million of metal forming work for BMW on the next generation X6 and new X4 vehicle in North America (launching in 2014) and the takeover of an aluminum engine block for PSA for one of our plants in Germany which will generate $10 million of annualized sales starting early in the third quarter of 2012."

Fred Di Tosto, Martinrea's Chief Financial Officer, stated: "Revenues for the first quarter, excluding $52 million in tooling revenues, were approximately $684 million which was just short of the low end of our quarterly sales guidance as previously provided due mainly to softness in revenues at Martinrea Honsel's operating facility in Brazil. North American revenues for the first quarter of 2012, excluding tooling revenue, amounted to $521 million, up slightly from $518 million during the fourth quarter of 2011. The quarter-over-quarter increase in revenues in North America lagged behind overall North American OEM vehicle production, which increased by approximately 14% quarter-over-quarter, due generally to sales mix and the completion of one-time takeover work during the fourth quarter of 2011 as further discussed in our MD&A. In the first quarter of 2012 our adjusted earnings per share was $0.30, after factoring out Honsel related integration costs and other restructuring costs, up from $0.24 in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $0.17 in the first quarter of 2011, after adjustments and on a diluted basis, and in line with our quarterly earnings guidance as previously provided. Our first quarter results from the Martinrea Honsel assets were accretive to earnings, after factoring out unusual and other items, and amounted to approximately $0.06 of earnings per share for the quarter, slightly lower than our previous quarter due mainly to some softness in Brazil. Our first quarter results from Martinrea Classic amounted to approximately $0.24 of earnings per share, after factoring out unusual and other items, up significantly from $0.17 per share earned in the fourth quarter of 2011 due mainly to productivity and efficiency improvements at certain North American operating facilities and a decrease in SG&A expense. We did experience some launch costs at the Shelbyville facility and pre-operating costs in Silao which negatively impacted earnings in the quarter but these should disappear over time."

Mr. Di Tosto added: "In addition, we saw gross margin for the quarter, excluding tooling revenue, at 11.8%, an increase over both the previous quarter and comparative quarter of 2011. We expect gross margin to continue to improve and approach historical levels as we launch a significant backlog of business over the next 24 months and production volumes continue to improve in North America. In our second quarter of 2012, we anticipate revenues (excluding tooling revenues) will range from $690 million to $710 million, and we believe our earnings per share after adjustments will range from $0.29 - $0.33 per share."

Rob Wildeboer, Martinrea's Executive Chairman, stated: "We are very positive about our prospects for the rest of 2012 and beyond, where we anticipate our earnings to increase consistent with previous guidance. We repeat our statements that we believe, based on where we sit today, that 2012 will be our best year to date by far from a financial point of view, subject to market conditions. Based on our assumptions of volumes, interest rates and our outlook, we are budgeting for consolidated revenues approaching $3 billion in 2012, and earnings, including our interest in Martinrea Honsel, should range somewhere between $1.05 and $1.25 per share, absent unusual items in each case. In 2013, we anticipate higher production sales; as well as improved gross margins and EBITDA margins across the board as the impact of higher throughput and efficiencies are felt, and we are anticipating in our budgets that our earnings per share for the year will grow to the $1.30 to $1.50 range, based on current assumptions. Underlying our optimism to some extent is the fact we have much product to launch, and the macroeconomic outlook involving automotive in North America in particular is positive. In sum, there remains pent up demand for light cars and trucks in North America. We believe the North American auto industry is in a growth phase, and certainly sales volumes in the U.S. this year to date have been much more robust than a year ago. There is still room to grow over time. While Europe has faced some headwinds, it is noted that much of the Martinrea Honsel business is in the form of product put in vehicles which have a healthy export market, like Jaguar. Our customers everywhere seem to be doing well. In terms of our financial position at Martinrea, we continue to have a strong balance sheet, with the capability, we believe, to take advantage of opportunities, whether in terms of expanding and taking on new work, or making complementary acquisitions".
