32 Capital management
The primary goal of capital management within the Audi Group is to assure financial flexibility in
order to achieve business and growth targets, and to enable continuous, steady growth in the
value of the Company. The capital structure is steered specifically with this in mind, and the
economic environment is kept under constant observation. The objectives, methods and proce-
dures for optimizing capital management remained unchanged at December 31, 2009. For this
purpose, the development of key cost and value factors for the divisions and Group companies
are analyzed regularly; appropriate optimization measures are then defined and their imple-
mentation monitored on an ongoing basis.
The equity and financial liabilities from the transfer of profit are summarized in the following
table:
EUR million Dec. 31, 2009 Dec. 31, 2008
Equity 10,632 10,328
as % of total capital 86 84
Financial liabilities from the transfer of profit 1,751 1,906
Current financial liabilities 577 673
Non-current financial liabilities 2 3
Liabilities from the transfer of profit 1,172 1,230
as % of total capital 14 16
Total capital 12,383 12,234
Around 99.55 percent of the issued capital is held by Volkswagen AG (Wolfsburg), with which a
control and profit transfer agreement exists.
In the 2009 fiscal year, equity rose by 2.9 percent compared with the prior year. This was sub-
stantially attributable to a cash injection to the capital reserve by Volkswagen AG and to the
allocation to other retained earnings.
