”
For 2013, we expect market conditions in NAFTA, LATAM and APAC will continue to support our financial
projections.
In Europe, however, the market will continue to be subject to significant levels of uncertainty.
In order to maintain a high level of liquidity and given the restrictions on Chrysler’s ability to pay dividends to its
members, the Board of Directors has decided not to recommend a dividend on Fiat shares for 2012.
On the basis of the updated financial plan presented at the end of Q3, the Group confirms the targets for 2013:
revenues in the €88-92 billion range; trading profit in the €4.0-4.5 billion range; net profit between €1.2-1.5
billion; and net industrial debt of approximately €7.0 billion.
We will work towards achieving these targets with the same spirit that has brought us this far, with attention
to the needs of local communities and the environment, as well as to the legacy that we intend to leave future
generations.
Our commitment to operating responsibly and promoting a model of sustainable development is part of the
tradition and values of the Group that continue to be recognized internationally.
For the fourth consecutive year, Fiat Group was included in the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes
World and Europe, which only admit companies that are best-in-class in terms of economic, environmental and
social performance.
As further recognition of its efforts in addressing climate change, Fiat Group was also admitted to the Italy 100
Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) and the Italy 100 Carbon Performance Leadership Index (CPLI),
achieving the highest score of all participating companies.
Our business philosophy, where product excellence goes hand-in-hand with acting responsibly, involves
everyone throughout the entire organization. Nearly 215,000 people around the world put that philosophy into
practice every day through their commitment and dedication to making us a strong and competitive group,
while never losing sight of our moral obligation to contribute to the well-being of society as a whole and to the
construction of a better future.
I want to thank all the women and men in our Group for their professional and personal contribution, for the
dedication and passion that they give every day to the creation of a better future.
I also want to express my thanks to our shareholders for standing by us as we have grown and transformed the
business and for continuing to support us as we move to the next phase of the Group’s development.
