Magna International Inc. (MGA) expects General Motors Corp.'s (GMGMQ) German unit Adam Opel GmbH to report positive figures in 2011 after its planned takeover of the GM unit, according to a Magna document seen by Dow Jones Newswires Tuesday.

"Our business plan expects clearly positive operating earnings [earnings before interest and taxes] for 2011," the document of the Austrian-Canadian car parts maker said.

Opel supervisory board chairman and president of GM in Europe, Carl-Peter Forster had previously said he wants to make a profit with Opel before 2013.

Magna has teamed up with Russian automaker OAO GAZ Group (GAZA.RS) and state-controlled OAO Sberbank (SBER.RS) in a bid for the Germany-based company and its U.K.-based sister brand, Vauxhall.
