As a result, the Group has provided targets for 2012 ranging from a scenario of continued depressed trading conditions in
Europe to a gradual stabilization and recovery at the very end of the year.
Fiat-Chrysler expects to close 2012 with revenues above €77 billion, trading profit between €3.8 and €4.5 billion, net profit
between €1.2 and €1.5 billion, and net industrial debt between €5.5 and €6 billion.
The Group expects that it will be able to fully articulate the impact of economic conditions in Europe on its business plan
up to 2014 at the time it announces its Q3 2012 results.
Despite the environment of uncertainty and the intense competition in the auto sector, one thing we don’t lack is the
strength to compete.
We have been made stronger by the various crises we have been through in the past 8 years.
We have been made stronger by the fact that we have always challenged ourselves, which has often meant taking the
more difficult path.
And we have held firmly to the values that today remain at the very core of Fiat-Chrysler and are among our most precious
assets: honesty and integrity in our choices, humility and respect in our dealings with others, and an understanding that
our actions have consequences far beyond the office walls or the factory gate.
Our steadfast commitment to such an approach has been recognized in many quarters.
We are one of the few auto sector companies that has been recognized as a sustainability leader with our inclusion in the
DJSI World and DJSI Europe indexes – now for the 3rd consecutive year – which only admit companies judged best-in-
class in managing their businesses sustainably, from an economic, social and environmental perspective.
In addition to our long-standing commitment to ecological and sustainable mobility, which has already resulted in Fiat
being recognized for the fourth year in a row by JATO for the most eco-performing products among the main automotive
brands in Europe, our efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of our manufacturing activities have also led to us being
recognized by the Carbon Disclosure Project as one of the world leaders in combating climate change.
Based on research conducted by VIGEO, which assesses organizations on environmental, social and governance issues,
Fiat has also become one of a select number of companies included in the ASPI Eurozone
®
index.
We value this recognition, because it serves as testimony to our sense of duty and the values at the center of how we do
business which are also our principal source of pride in being a part of Fiat-Chrysler.
I want to thank our shareholders for having believed in the integration of our two groups, undertaking this new challenge
together with us and supporting us as we move to the next phase.
