\nHolding, announced the commitment to support the regional representative and
\nstay in Ukraine<\/i><\/b> <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Taking into
\naccount a more than twofold decline of Ukrainian market of vehicle sales and maintaining
\nthe downward trend in 2015, the key players of auto market cut down noticeably
\ntheir presence in Ukraine. Despite the economic effects, the parent company
\nPorsche Holding (hereinafter \u2013 PH) decided to support the regional
\nrepresentative office and stay in the country to maintain its positions on the potentially
\npromising and strategically important market of Eastern Europe. That was
\ndeclared by the chairman of PH board Alain Favey at the annual press conference
\nin Vienna in December 2014, when he was presenting the annual report on the
\ntendencies and state of business on 24 markets. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe keep on supporting our commercial activity in the period of economic
\nrecession in the region which includes Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Ukraine.
\nAnd we count upon the stabilization of environment on the market which will
\nallow us to cover significant loss in Ukraine,\u201d <\/i>Alain Favey<\/b> said. He affirmed PH\u2019s decision to support the
\nregional representative office and stay in Ukrainedespite the hard times. \u201cWe shall stay in Ukraine, and we hope that
\nthe situation will change in the nearest future. Ukraine still remains a
\nstrategically important market of Eastern Europe, as it has great potential for
\nthe future growth.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201cIn the period of unstable economic situation in Ukraine for us as for
\nregional representative office, the support of the parent company is of great
\nimportance. In turn, we also support the region of our presence and our
\nclients. I am sure that a crisis is always followed by growth. The main thing
\nis to act honestly and transparently \u2013 these are the main principles of our
\nreputation both in Ukraine and the whole world\u201d, <\/i>Andreas Z\u00f6ller<\/b>, <\/b>the CEO of
\nPorsche Finance Group, <\/b>says. <\/p>\n
According to
\nthe results of 2014, the markets of Germany and Spain showed the best dynamics.
\nThe sales of new vehicles grew from 6.1% and 23.1% correspondently on these
\nmarkets. At the same time the secondary market of Spain remained at the last
\nyear\u2019s level, while the market of Germany fixed the increase in sales by 4.8%.
\nAlso, notwithstanding the general decline of the light vehicles market in
\nAustria by 4.9%, PH managed to preserve its share of 35.8% at the level of
\nindicators of 2013 (35.9%). At the same time 283 multibrand dealer centers in
\nFrance, Netherlands, Belgium and Poland sold 120,026 (+4.5%) new vehicles and 116,586
\n(+1%) used cars. The most complicated situation is on the market of Central and
\nEastern Europe. It is connected with the fact that the region that includes
\nCroatia, Hungary, Romania and Ukraine showed the decline in sales by 5.9%.<\/p>\n
The currency
\nrates fluctuations also influenced the car sales volume in the countries of Latin
\nAmerica. But, despite the difficult situation in Colombia and Chile it is
\nexpected a small increase in the share of the auto market from 2.6% to 2.8%.<\/p>\n
China
\ndemonstrates steady growth among non-European countries. Six dealer centers were
\nopened there during the last year. And in 2014, 23 centers sold 16,610 new vehicles,
\nshowing an increase by 19.5% as compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n
Overall, in 2014,
\nPorsche Holding showed moderately positive trend in the majority of the regions,
\nwhich is confirmed by the overall growth in sales of new cars (+ 4.4%) and used
\nvehicles (+ 2.2%) as compared to the previous year. The results of PH regional
\noffices are consistent with the global market development dynamics.<\/p>\n
