Financial communications
It is Fiat’s primary interest to create and maintain a constant
dialogue with its Stockholders and its Institutional Investors.
Through its investor relations program, the Group pursues a policy
of open communication with individual and institutional investors.
In the course of the year, the Investor Relations function organizes
presentations, live or through conference calls, after the regular
publication of Group results or other events requiring direct
communications with the market. Moreover, the program includes
several seminars, which provide a more in-depth understanding of
the operating performance and strategies of the principal Group
Sectors, as well as meetings and roadshows that permit a direct
relationship between the financial community and the Group’s top
management.
In 2004, Fiat presented a new version of its website
www.fiatgroup.com providing it with updatings and new contents
and functionalities, also to better respond to stakeholders’ needs.

The recovery of leading European stock markets that began in 2003
expanded in 2004. The improvement in performance ranged from
approximately +6% and +7%, respectively, on the Paris and London Stock
Exchanges to approximately +13% and 15%, respectively, in Frankfurt and
Madrid. The Milan Stock Exchange rose by approximately 16% in 2004.
During 2004, the European automotive sector was impacted by the problems
caused by the macroeconomic situation. The sector index (Dow Jones
Eurostoxx Auto) was unchanged in 2004, in the face of a strong recovery
(approximately 14.5%) posted during the previous year.
Fiat stock slipped by approximately 4% over the course of the year. This
performance naturally includes the expectations of the market for completion
of restructuring and implementation of the Industrial Plan.
