The words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” ”can,” “could,” “plan,” “project,” “should” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements.
These statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including

• an adverse development of global economic conditions, in particular a decline of demand in our most important markets;
• a deterioration of our refinancing possibilities on the credit and financial markets;
• events of force majeure including natural disasters, pandemics, acts of terrorism, political unrest, armed conflicts, industrial accidents and their effects on our sales, purchasing, production or financial services activities;
• changes in currency exchange rates, customs and foreign trade provisions;
• a shift in consumer preferences towards smaller, lower-margin vehicles; a possible lack of acceptance of our products or services which limits our ability to achieve prices and adequately utilise our production capacities;
• price increases for fuel, raw materials or energy; disruption of production due to shortages of materials or energy, labour strikes or supplier insolvencies;
• a decline in resale prices of used vehicles;
• the effective implementation of cost-reduction and efficiency-optimisation measures;
• the business outlook for companies in which we hold a significant equity interest;
• the successful implementation of strategic cooperations and joint ventures;
• changes in laws, regulations and government policies, particularly those relating to vehicle emissions, fuel economy and safety;
• the resolution of pending governmental investigations or of investigations requested by governments and the outcome of pending or threatened future legal proceedings;
• and other risks and uncertainties, some of which are described under the heading “Risk and Opportunity Report” in the latest Annual Report.

If any of these risks and uncertainties materialises or if the assumptions underlying any of our forward-looking statements prove to be incorrect, the actual results may be materially different from those we express or imply by such statements.
We do not intend or assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements since they are based solely on the circumstances at the date of publication.
