Wabco. There is only a very slight shift in
the regional composition of the list: 2008
saw 31 Asian suppliers among the Top
100, along with two (IAC and Autoliv) in
European-American ownership, 28 from
North America and 39 from Europe.
Next year the balance sheets of the
companies that make the Top 100 will
reflect the full impact of the crisis and
there will be a great deal more movement
around the list. By that time the manage-
ments of quite a number of these compa-
nies may well be fondly recalling the sales
figures of the present. And only then will
we know whether the aggregate sales of
the Top 100 have grown again.

Explanations and contact details:

As always, our 'Global Ranking Top 100 Automotive Suppliers' defi-
nes "automotive sales" as revenue achieved by companies that
mainly supply parts, components, systems and modules for vehic-
les. For this reason factory equippers, machine builders and service
providers are not included. Automotive sales are defined not only
as OE business figures but also as those generated on the after-
sales and consumer markets. As in the past, they cover 'off-high-
way' business in addition to parts supplied for passenger vehicles,
buses and trucks.
This year we have had to estimate figures in cases in a few cases in
which the respective financial data was not available. OEM subsidi-
aries such as Magneti Marelli are included in the ranking if they
also supply to other OEMs in a significant manner and publish their
figures accordingly.
Currency conversion continues to be based on the Federal Reserve
Bank's annual foreign exchange conversion rates. The conversion
table is provided on page 4 of this publication.
The Top 100 ranking has been compiled according to the latest in-
formation available to our editorial offices and on the basis of an-
nual reports as currently available and editorial research. If you

SZENARIO
For they know what they do

The automotive supply industry is facing a historic test. The crisis has hit the industry hard
and the global auto industry is experiencing rapid structural changes. Fierce competition and
pressure on margins are picking up and making the future uncertain. Only as of 2010 do mar-
ket analysts expect growth – and then only moderate. However, only those companies that
are now setting the course for future growth will reap the benefits of economic recovery.

SZENARIO
Interview with Marcus Berret, Partner, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants
Caught in a vicious circle

Decreasing volumes and following a lack of liquidity – many automotive suppliers are fighting to survive.
Branch expert Marcus Berret: "I expect that more than 100 suppliers will go out of business in Germany
alone. Most suppliers will experience permanent restructuring in the next two to three years."
cautious. No one wants to bite off more than they can chew.
On the other hand, the OEMs are wary of individual product
segments experiencing too much consolidation. This could
otherwise compromise their negotiating position in the medi-
um term.
What do you feel has been the biggest surprise of the crisis?
I was surprised at how poor communication about planned
volume reductions within the value chain was at the begin-
ning of crisis. For instance, many tier2 and tier3 suppliers
maintained full production even in November and December
because they simply didn't know any better. This resulted in
the unnecessary end of the one or the other supplier.
Your Outlook for 2010?

Volumes will stabilize at a low level. However, I still expect

Company details: The Bosch Group comprises Robert Bosch GmbH and more than 300 subsidiaries and regional companies in over 60 countries. If sales and service partners are included,
then Bosch is represented in roughly 150 countries.
With all its products and services, Bosch enhances the quality of life by providing solutions which are both innovative and beneficial.
The company was set up in Stuttgart in 1886 by Robert Bosch (1861-1942) as “Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering”.
The special ownership structure of Robert Bosch GmbH guarantees the entrepreneurial freedom of the Bosch Group, making it possible for the company to plan over the long term
and to undertake significant up-front investments in the safeguarding of its future.
Ninety-two percent of the share capital of Robert Bosch GmbH is held by Robert Bosch Stiftung GmbH, a charitable foundation. The majority of voting rights are held by Robert
Bosch Industrietreuhand KG, an industrial trust. The entrepreneurial ownership functions are carried out by the trust. The remaining shares are held by the Bosch family and by
Robert Bosch GmbH.

R&D data: This worldwide development, manufacturing, and sales network is the foundation for further growth.
Each year, Bosch spends more than 3.5 billion euros, or eight percent of its sales revenue, for research and development, and applies for over 3,000 patents worldwide.
For 2008: 3,889 Mio Euro (8.6 %), within Automotive 3,250 Mio Euro (12 %), for 2007: 3,583 Mio Euro (7.7%), within Automotive 2,899 Mio Euro
Revenue split: Sales by region 2008: Europe 66%, Americas 17%, Asia Pacific (including other countries) 17%
Sales by business sector 2008: Automotive Technology 59%, Consumer Goods and
Building Technology 26% (including other activities), Industrial Technology 15%.
The Bosch Group’s profit before tax in 2008 stands at 942 million euros, as compared with 3.8 billion euros in the previous year. At 1.5 billion euros, the operating result is down on
the prior-year figure of 3.2 billion euros. The main reasons for this decline in result were the worsened profit situation in Automotive Technology, the burden of the – at times – sharp
rise in the price of raw materials, and a negative financial result.
The Automotive Technology business sector suffered the most significant decline, generating an operating result of 321 million euros, compared with 1.7 billion euros the previous
year. The return on sales from operations was thus roughly only 1.2 %. This decrease was attributable to under-utilization of production capacity following the significant cuts in call
orders by automotive customers, as well as to the steep rise in raw materials prices.
Strategy: The major acquisitions impacting sales in 2008 include: In Automotive Technology, the takeover of Holger Christiansen A/S, Esbjerg, Denmark, a remanufacturer of starters and
alternators. Bosch also acquired the brake business of Morse Automotive Corporation in Chicago, IL (USA).
SB LiMotive – the Samsung SDI and Bosch joint venture – will supply lithium-ion battery cells to BMW. The German automaker will install the battery cells in its first electric car,
which is currently being developed as part of the “Megacity Vehicle” project.
Like the global economy as a whole, the Bosch Group, too, was affected by the global downturn in business activity in the course of 2008. As a result, Bosch fell far short of its sales
and earnings targets. The Automotive Technology business sector was especially affected, while the impact of the downturn on Consumer Goods and Building Technology was not
as severe. In the Industrial Technology business sector, Bosch was still able to boost sales.
Despite the significantly worsened economic environment, however, Bosch was able to extend its global market position in all business sectors. This was due both to its innovative
products and to an entire series of acquisitions. The unfavorable development of business is likely to last well into 2009. Bosch sees chances of a gradual recovery for the global
economy in the second half of the year.

Strategy: Conti’s six divisions are significantly involved in shaping the global automotive megatrends – safety, environment and information. The work is geared to making motoring safer,
more comfortable and more sustainable. Core business areas – the Automotive Group and the Rubber Group – contribute significantly to the megatrends in the automotive
industry. The six divisions are differently geared towards the various trends. Strategic focuses are development and manufacturing of components, modules, and complex systems.
In addition, Continental offers engineering services – tailored to the needs of their customers. Entrepreneurial action and strict cost discipline are embedded at all levels of the
organization – right down to the smallest unit. One of Conti’s key responsibilities is climate protection, to which the company makes a substantial contribution with its technologies
and products. Conti’s management wants its business units to hold leading positions in their respective markets, or to be able to achieve such a position with a manageable level of
business risk in the foreseeable future. To limit dependence on the cyclical automotive manufacturing sector, Conti aims to generate around 40% of its sales outside this industry in
the future.

Purchasing organisation: Continental’s Divisions, as well as many other renowned automotive suppliers have decided to transact business processes through SupplyON: www.SupplyOn.com

R&D data: Research and development expenses: General and administrative expenses FY2008 in millions: 93,252 Yen; FY:2007: 86,748 Yen.
Revenue split: In fiscal 2008, the operating environment of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries was challenging. Although the prices of raw materials and crude oil declined in the
latter part of the fiscal year, prices were generally high for the full fiscal year. In this setting, business conditions in Japan slowed, with consumer spending weakening and growth in
exports sluggish. Overseas, the U.S. economy showed signs of a recession, such as declines in housing starts and consumer spending. In addition, business conditions worsened in
Europe, with declines in consumer spending and exports. In Asia, business conditions began to decline in China and other markets.
Consolidated net sales decreased by ¥155.8 billion, or 5% year-over-year, to ¥3,234.4 billion, due in part to the exchange impact of the stronger Japanese yen and a decline in unit
sales. Sales decreased in both business segments (tires and diversified products). In geographic segment, sales decreased in Japan, the Americas, and Europe.
Including inter-segment transactions, in the tire segment, sales in fiscal 2008 decreased by 5% from the previous year, to ¥2,629.2 billion, while operating income decreased by 52%,
to ¥92.8 billion. The Companies worked to maximize its sales momentum by introducing appealing new products worldwide, while at the same time improving and expanding
certain production sites around the world in support of the respective product domains, particularly those that have been identified as strategic products for the Companies. The
fourth quarter, in particular, was marked by a decline in global automotive production and by sluggish demand in the replacement market, which had a major effect on sales.
Composition of Sales by Geographic Segment (Net of inter-segment transactions) 2008: Japan = 26.70%; The Americas = 43.40%; Europe = 14.60%; Other = 15.30%.
With a significant impact from such factors as sharply higher prices for raw materials, operating income totaled 131.5 billion JPY, a 47% decrease, ordinary income was 74.4 billion
JPY, a 66% decrease, and net income came to 10.4 billion JPY, a 92% decrease.
Strategy: For fiscal 2009, the Company’s operating environment is extremely difficult to predict due to the rapid deterioration in global business conditions. In this setting, each country is
implementing economic countermeasures and financial policies, but some time will likely be required before these measures take effect and economies begin to recover. This situ-
ation, together with the rapid changes in the worldwide structure of demand and competition, will likely have a significant effect on the Companies’ sales. In Japan, the Company’s
expects a year-over-year decline in unit sales of tires. In diversified products, sales of such products as those related to civil engineering and construction materials & equipment are
expected to decline year-over-year. In the Americas, unit sales of tires in North America are expected to decline year-over-year. In Europe, unit sales of tires are expected to decline
year-over-year.
Goal: To establish the status of being the undisputed world No.1 tire and rubber company both in name and reality.
The Group has developed its Mid-term Management Plan (MTP) as a tool to assist it in achieving the ultimate management goals. Details of the plan are provided in the special
strategy section. MTP2008, which was announced in October 2008 (covering 2009 through 2013), is an update of MTP2007, which covered the five years from 2008 to 2012.

Strategy: In the current term (from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009), plummeting car demand in almost all marketplaces of the world has transformed Aisin Seiki‘s business environment from
the past underlying upward trend into a very severe situation. Consolidated net sales were ¥ 2,214.4 billion, a decrease of 18.0% from the previous term. Under these circumstances,
Aisin Seiki made all-out efforts via urgent measures to secure immediate profits by making a comprehensive review of expenses and reducing capital investment plans. At the profit
level an operating loss of ¥ 3.4 billion was posted.

Main automotive Faurecia now works with nearly every major automaker in the world. Biggest customers are: VW Group, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Renault/Nissan, BMW, Ford Group, GM Group, Daimler,
customers: Chrysler, Toyota, Hyundai/Kia
R&D data: Gross R&D expenditure (in Mio Euro): FY08: 613.0 , FY07: 613.1, FY06: 630.5; Gross research and development costs 2008 were stable compared with 2007 in value terms, coming
in at €613.0 million, but as a percentage of sales they rose to 5.1% from 4.8%. Excluding amounts billable to customers, R&D costs totaled €269.9 million, corresponding to 2.2% of
sales, versus €268.6 million and 2.1% of sales in 2007. These figures reflect the R&D efforts required to ensure that the Group can continually renew its programs.
Revenue split: The Group continued to diversify its customer portfolio in 2008, with General Motors and BMW increasing in weighting and the Volkswagen Group becoming Faurecia’s biggest
customer. The sharp drop in European automobile production in the second half of the year led to falls in sales of 11.5% and 6.2% with the Renault-Nissan Group and PSA Peugeot
Citröen Group respectively. Business with the Volkswagen Group inched back by just 1.5% thanks to Faurecia’s sales to Audi remaining virtually on a par with 2007. In North America,
the impact of the 36.4% slide in sales to Chrysler in 2008 (with a 57.6% fall in the fourth quarter) was offset by increased sales to General Motors, BMW and Ford.
2008 sales by customer: PSA Peugeot Citroën 22.9%, VW Group 23.9%, Renault/Nissan 11.5%, BMW 10.3%, Ford Group 10.0%, GM Group 7.7%, Daimler 4.8%, Other 3.0%, Chrysler
2.9%, Toyota 2.0%, Hyundai/Kia 1.0%.
2008 sales by activity: 27.5% with Intrument panel, door, acoustic package; 7.9% for front end; 22.9% with other modules as Exhaust, 41.7% with interior modules as seats.
Operating income for 2008 amounted to €91.2 million and represented 0.8% of consolidated sales, compared with €121.1 million and 1.0% respectively for 2007.
Strategy: Challenge 2009 involves: Cost savings of around €600 million, including approximately €230 million in direct production costs, €120 million in procurement savings, and some €300
million in fixed-cost reductions. Implementing these cost-saving measures will lead to restructuring expenses of around €150 million in 2009; A 15% lowering of the breakeven
point; A €100 million fall in investment spend and a €200 million improvement in working capital in order to limit cash burn in 2009. These measures will primarily be required due
to the estimated €200 million in cash outflows for restructuring costs during the year; A positive cash target for 2010; Maintaining Research and Innovation budgets.
Faurecia’s Board of Directors has agreed in principle to carry out a €450 million capital increase with pre-emptive subscription rights for existing shareholders in order to strengthen
the Group’s equity and proportionally decrease its financial expense. This capital increase will complement the Group’s successful efforts to secure its funding in November 2008
with a new €1,420 million syndicated credit line.

Strategy: Significant declines in general economic conditions and production levels of automobiles, an unfavorable change in the mix of TRW´s product sales and continuing inflationary and
pricing pressures have forced TRW to reevaluate all aspects of its business and determine the best approach to mitigate these negative conditions. TRW continually evaluates its
competitive position in the automotive supply industry and whether actions are required to maintain or improve their standing. Such actions may include plant rationalization or
global capacity optimization across their businesses.
TRW has become a leader in the global automotive parts industry by capitalizing on the strength of its products, technological capabilities and systems integration skills. Over
the last decade, TRW has experienced sales growth in many of its product lines due to an increasing focus by both governments and consumers on safety and fuel efficiency. TRW
believes that such focus on safety and fuel economy is continuing as evidenced by ongoing regulatory activities and given uncertainty over fluctuating fuel costs, and will enable
the company to experience growth in the most recent generation of advanced safety and fuel efficient products. Such advanced products include vehicle stability control systems,
curtain and side air bags, occupant sensing systems, electrically assisted power steering systems, electric park brake and tire pressure monitoring systems.
With research and development, manufacturing and sales facilities located around the world, TRW Automotive is positioned to meet the changing demands of both established and
emerging markets. The company has the strengths to respond to pent-up demand in Europe, and to meet the needs of growth markets such as China, India, Brazil and Russia.
In fact, more than 70 percent of TRW’s sales come from outside of the United States.

Strategy: Lear’s principal operating objective is to strengthen and expand its position as a leading automotive supplier to the global automotive industry by focusing on the needs of its
customers. Lear believe that the criteria for selection of automotive suppliers are not only cost, quality, delivery, service and innovation but also, increasingly, worldwide presence
and the ability to work collaboratively to reduce cost throughout the entire system, increase functionality and bring new consumer driven products to market.
In 2008, Lear expanded restructuring activities in light of extremely adverse industry conditions globally. Since 2005, Lear has incurred pretax costs of $580 million, including $52
million of related manufacturing inefficiency charges, in connection with restructuring activities. As a result of Lear´s overall restructuring activities, the company has closed or
initiated the closure of 28 manufacturing facilities and 10 administrative/engineering facilities, with a cumulative net headcount reduction of approximately 14,000 employees.
Lear currently support global operations through more than 100 manufacturing and engineering facilities located in 21 low-cost countries. Lear has aggressively pursued this strat-
egy by selectively expanding vertical integration capabilities in Mexico, Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia. Furthermore, Lear has expanded low-cost engineering capabilities in China,
India and the Philippines.

Strategy: Valeo applies its strategy in line with a policy of sustainable development. Valeo is planning to reduce its headcount by around 5,000 employees worldwide in 2009, including
around 1,600 in France and 1,800 in the rest of Europe. Valeo is preparing for a recession that is proving to be severe worldwide. In 2009, Valeo expects automotive production to
fall by around 20%. Valeo is well equipped to adapt its structure and costs to this new situation without jeopardizing the operational excellence on which its reputation is founded.
Each of the company’s activities has a roadmap and will take appropriate action. Valeo will pay special attention to the Group’s cash and to the elimination of all non-essential
expenditure. Valeo is also closely monitoring the financial state of its suppliers, many of whom will be facing serious difficulties in the months to come. Valeo’s acquisitions/dispos-
als strategy is designed to reinforce the Group’s three Domains and increase its organic growth potential.
Strategic operations and partnerships: China has one of the fastest growing automotive markets in the world. The world’s second-largest market behind the United States, it should
move into first place by 2020. The Indian market, with an average annual increase in new car sales of 20% over the last 10 years, also offers good prospects for the automotive sector.
Present in India since the late 1990s, Valeo has already introduced several product lines there, including clutches, friction materials and lighting and security systems. Russia has
been open to foreign investors for several years, and is another of these new markets. Russia is expecting positive growth, and could become Europe’s leading automotive market by
2012, overtaking Germany. Valeo pursues a policy of setting up production sites as close as possible to its customers (Renault, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Volkswagen, Toyota, etc.), help-
ing it to expand its business on these growth markets. In Russia, the strategic partnership signed between French automaker Renault and AvtoVAZ, the leading automaker on the
Russian market, offers Valeo a number of opportunities. In order to provide the best service to all customers, the Group is planning for all of its activities to be present in this country,
and Valeo Service, the Group’s aftermarket activity, which has been operating in Russia since 2001, has seen strong business expansion there over the last six years.
May 31, 2008, Valeo sold its truck engine cooling division to EQT, an investment fund based in Northern Europe. This division employs 900 people across three production sites (two
in Sweden and one in the United States), and achieved sales of 176 million euros in 2007.
Further information about Valeo’s strategy, see: http://www.valeo.com/en/home/the-group/strategy.html
Purchasing organisation: The role of Valeo’s purchasing team is to reduce supply costs through increased sourcing in competititve-cost countries, implement rigorous selection processes for new suppliers,
apply total quality and innovation approach to suppliers and sub-contractors and establish close partnerships whith the most innovative and best performing suppliers, in order to
turn this strategy into a genuine competitive advantage.

R&D data: Total research and development expenditures were approximately $434 million in 2008, decreasing from $510 million in 2007 and $594 million in 2006. The decreases are attribut-
able to divestitures, shifting engineering headcount from high-cost to low-cost countries as well as right-sizing efforts.

Net sales for Climate were $3.4 billion in 2007, compared with $3.1 billion in 2006, representing an increase of $247 million or 8%. Sales increased in Asia by $237 million, principally
attributable to new business and higher production volumes, primarily Hyundai/Kia. Climate sales increased in Europe by $68 million principally related to higher Ford vehicle
production volumes. Sales were lower in North America by $121 million due to lower Ford North America vehicle production volume and unfavorable product mix partially offset by
new business. Net customer price reductions were more than offset by favorable currency of $153 million.
Net sales for Electronics were $3.6 billion in 2007, compared with $3.5 billion in 2006, representing an increase of $132 million or 4%. Sales in 2007 included higher sales in Europe
of $178 million due to increased Ford vehicle production volumes, partially offset by lower Ford North American vehicle production volumes and adverse product mix related to past
customer sourcing actions of $191 million. Net customer price reductions were more than offset by favorable currency of $198 million.
Net sales for Interiors were $3.2 billion in 2007, compared with $3.1 billion in 2006, representing an increase of $124 million or 4%. Increased sales in Asia of $298 million, primarily
due to an increase in directed source content for Hyundai/Kia production, were partially offset by lower sales in North America of $297 million, primarily due to lower Ford and
Nissan vehicle production volumes as well as the impact of lost volume related to the closure of the Chicago, Illinois facility. Net customer price reductions were more than offset by
customer commercial settlements and favorable currency of $165 million.
Strategy: The Company’s immediate priority is to address the its capital structure and liquidity requirements. However, the Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to imple-
ment any such actions in a manner or on terms that would be satisfactory to the Company. Despite these challenges, the Company aims to grow leading positions in its key climate,
interiors and electronics product groups and to improve overall margins, long-term operating profitability and cash flows by leveraging the Company’s extensive experience, innova-
tive technology and geographic strengths. To achieve these goals and respond to industry factors and trends, the Company is working to reduce costs and preserve liquidity, improve
its operations and grow the business.

History, see: http://global-sei.com/sei_info/history/index.html.
Manufacture and sales of electric wires and cables, and other products. The group includes approximately 300 subsidiaries and affiliates in more than 30 countries around the world,
mainly in Asia, North America and Europe.
Automotive sales decreased ¥282.2 billion, or 23.5% year-on-year, to ¥917.1 billion, due primarily to a decline in demand for wiring harnesses and anti-vibration rubber products
from last autumn. Another factor is the transfer of the automotive brake business to Aishin Seiki Co., Ltd. in the previous second half. Operating income fell by ¥68.4 billion to ¥6.1
billion. The decline was attributable to weakening demand, as well as considerable expenses for the reorganization and transfer of the wiring harness plants in the U.S. and Europe.

Revenue split: In the Automotive segment, sales for the reporting period fell 23.5% year-on-year, to ¥917.1 billion reflecting a decrease in demand for wiring harnesses and anti-vibration rubber
products and an effect of the transfer of automotive brake business last year, and operating income decreased 91.8% to ¥6.1 billion due to decrease of demand and one-time cost
increase resulting from reorganization and relocation of wiring harnesses factories in Europe and the United States.
Strategy: Due to the sudden deceleration of the global economy from September 2008 onward, automobile production in Japan, the U.S. and Europe drastically plunged on a volume basis.
For Sumitomo Electric, orders declined rapidly in the latter half of fiscal 2009. Global inventory adjustments are expected to bottom out in the first half of fiscal 2010.
April, 2009 J-Power Systems Corporation, a 50-50 joint venture of Sumitomo Electric and Hitachi Cable, Ltd., has agreed with Marubeni Metals Co., Ltd. to establish a joint venture

reductions and plant closures in 2009 and 2010. In 2008, Dana achieved a global workforce reduction of approximately 6,000 employees of which approximately 5,000 occurred in
North America.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, they also offered a voluntary separation program to their salaried workforce, predominantly in the United States and Canada. As of December
31, 2008, Dana have recorded a liability of $17, representing severance and related benefit costs for approximately 275 employees who accepted this offer and whose employment
was terminated during December 2008. Certain other employees in North America accepted the offer of voluntary separation but the separation has been deferred until a specified
date in the first quarter of 2009. An estimated additional charge of $11 for severance and related benefit costs for such employees will be accrued over the period during which the
employees are retained. Dana expect approximately 125 additional employees to be terminated as part of this program on or before March 31, 2009.

R&D data: 10 R&D Centres and 28 Application Centres, the Group has a presence in 16 countries

Revenue split: Lighting: Revenues totalled €1,524 million in 2008, down 5.6% from the previous year. The overall reduction in sales volumes attributable to the global financial crisis and spiralling
oil prices, impacted performance in the US market for the entire second half of 2008 and in the European and Asian markets for the last four months. Volumes for taillamps, how-
ever, went against the trend, rising in absolute terms. There was intense innovation activity throughout the year focused on Full LED headlamp technology, the bihalogen projection
module, LED taillamps, flexboard technologies for LED applications, as well as light curtain and light guide technologies. Significant new orders were received during the year for
headlamps and taillamps for the Alfa MiTo and for Mercedes, BMW and Opel models, as well as headlamps for Volkswagen-Audi and Land Rover.
Engine Control: Revenues for 2008 remained fairly stable at €933 million, with strong sales of Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) injectors and manifolds to OEMs countering a slow-
down in revenues in the U.S. market. Product rollouts during the year included Freechoice systems for the Fiat 500, Maserati GranTurismo and for FIASA in Brazil, manifolds for new
Fiat Bravo engines and for the Lancia Delta, and the natural gas system for the Grande Punto. Innovation concentrated on development of new products and technologies for hybrid
vehicles, biofuels, and lowconsumption gasoline and diesel engines. Major orders received during the year included: systems for the FIRE 1.0-litre and 1.4-litre Evolution engines for
the new Palio and new Uno in Brazil; a throttle body for General Motors in Europe, China, the USA and Brazil; and GDI injectors for Volkswagen.
Suspension Systems: Revenues for the year totalled €893 million, substantially in line with 2007 on a comparable scope of operations. Though major gains were made in Poland,
driven by products for the Fiat 500 and Panda, and in Brazil for Fiat, they were offset by performance in Italy which was impacted by the halt in production at the G.B. Vico plant and
the transfer of the Mechanical Component Assembly business to Fiat Group Automobiles in April 2008, in addition to the overall slump in the Italian market in the second half of the
year. New products launched during the year included suspension systems for the Lancia Delta, Alfa MiTo and Fiat 500 Abarth, as well as a complete suspension system for Ford.
Shock Absorbers: The business line’s 2008 revenues totalled €315 million, a 5.4% increase driven by higher sales in Brazil and in Poland for the Ducato and Fiat 500. There was a slow-
down in the latter part of the year, especially for the U.S. market. New orders were received from all major customers, including Fiat Group Automobiles, Mercedes, PSA and General
Motors.
Electronic Systems: Revenues for 2008 totalled €570 million, up 2.5% from the previous year. Instrument panels increased by 10%, driven by sales to external customers. Telematics
lost ground due to changes in the product mix for infotainment systems, but there was an increase in sales of the Blue&Me system to Fiat. Sales of products for vehicle interiors
dropped. Development activities concentrated on hardware and software design for the new generation of navigation systems for PSA, and on the radio/navigator for Fiat, PSA
and SAIC. Instrument panel products were developed for new Volkswagen-Audi, Renault and Citroën models, while the business line also worked on a telematic-compatible high-
resolution display for PSA and Maserati. The vehicle interiors products line developed new body computers for Fiat, the body computer for the new Palio in Brazil, climate control
systems for new Fiat models, electronics for Stop & Start systems, door modules for Renault, and a comfort module for Volkswagen in Brazil. Orders were received for an instrument
panel for PSA for use in the European and Chinese markets, and for instrument panel and vehicle interior products for the new Palio. For telematics products, orders were booked for
the Fiat Bravo and Croma radio/navigator, for the new generation of telematics products for PSA, and for the Telematic Box in Brazil.
Exhaust Systems: Revenues totalled €635 million in 2008, a 3.6% increase over the previous year. Positive contributions came from sales in Poland, driven by increased demand for
the Fiat 500, and from sales to external customers in Brazil, Spain and Argentina. By contrast, in Italy and China revenues contracted from the previous year’s levels. New production
included complete exhaust systems for the Alfa MiTo, Lancia Musa, Lancia Delta, Fiat 500, and for Ford, as well as hot-end systems for the Euro 5-compliant turbocharged 1.4-litre
gasoline engine. Major new orders included a complete exhaust system for General Motors for production in several countries and an exhaust manifold for Volkswagen in Brazil.
Motorsport: During 2008, Magneti Marelli continued to be active at the major sporting championships, supplying electronic control systems, fuel systems, electro-mechanical
components, and telemetry and data acquisition systems to such major Formula 1 teams as Ferrari (2008 Constructors’ World Champion), Toyota, Renault, Toro Rosso and Red Bull.
Magneti Marelli also continued its involvement in the Rally and Moto GP championships; for the latter, the Sector provided fuel injection and electronic control systems to Yamaha
(2008 World Champion), Ducati, Suzuki and Kawasaki.
Aftermarket: Revenues for 2008 were €242 million, substantially in line with the previous year on a comparable scope of operations, when the business line, which was consolidated
from May 2007, posted revenues of €167 million. Increased volumes for battery products and extension of the product range to include shock absorbers, belts and bumpers com-
pensated for the drop in sales in more established product areas such as lighting, rotary machinery and instrumentation. Rising sales in the Mercosur and German markets helped
counterbalance the decline in other European countries.
Strategy: May, 2009: Magneti Marelli has inaugurated a new production plant in China, inside WEDA (Wuhu Economic Development Area). The new industrial area will be dedicated to
production activities in the Lighting sector – with production lines for headlamps and rear lamps– and in the Powertrain sector – with the production of engine control components
(intake manifolds and throttle bodies).
February 27th, 2009: Agreement between Goodyear Dunlop and Magneti Marelli in the service area: thanks to Magneti Marelli’s contribution, Goodyear Dunlop Tires Italia will be
offering its SuperService network (over 300 highly specialised tyre dealers) the chance to expand its light mechanics business with highly professional support.
On 27 January 2009, Magneti Marelli and SAIC Motor Corporation Ltd., through its subsidiary Shanghai Automobile Gear Works (SAGW), signed a joint venture agreement in China
for production of hydraulic components for the Freechoice Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) made by Magneti Marelli. Under the agreement, Magneti Marelli and SAGW will
take equal interests. The joint venture will be located near Shanghai and is due to be operational in the second half of 2009. At full capacity, the new entity will be capable of produc-
ing components for about 350,000 gearboxes a year.

Schaeffler worldwide, see: http://www.schaeffler-gruppe.de/content.schaefflergroup.de/en/weltweit/regions/regions_1.jsp
Schaeffler (INA): For decades, the Schaeffler Group’s INA brand has stood for creative application solutions, great engineering and manufacturing expertise and a strong customer
focus. Thinking outside the box, that is, taking new paths to develop ideas and think beyond barriers, is just as important now as it was when the company was first established. Dr.
Georg Schaeffler, who founded the company with his brother Wilhelm in 1946, demonstrated what it means to think outside the box as early as 1949. At this point, his development
of the needle roller and cage assembly – a pioneering innovation – helped the needle roller bearing achieve an industrial breakthrough. Georg Schaeffler’s inventive spirit and his
will to succeed have become a permanent part of corporate culture in more than 35 plants worldwide. All over the world, the Schaeffler Group’s INA brand stands for the develop-
ment and manufacture of rolling bearings, plain bearings and linear guides for machine building and engine components for the automotive industry. INA works closely with its
customers as an engineering partner, starting with the initial stages of system development. New customized solutions are developed daily, which means that 1,000 new products
are launched every year. The Schaeffler Group has invested heavily in research and development, most recently in new R&D centers in Germany, Asia and North America. INA brand
products are used in the Schaeffler Group’s automotive division for applications in engines, transmissions and chassis and in its industrial division. INA has unmatched expertise in
forming precision products. This know-how allows efficient, customized solutions at an excellent price/performance ratio. In the industrial division, four business units for produc-
tion machinery, power transmission and rail technology, heavy industry, and consumer products drive the Schaeffler Group’s INA and FAG brands joint business. See also:

FAG: The FAG brand started with an ingenious idea. In 1883, Friedrich Fischer designed a ball grinding machine in Schweinfurt, Germany that, for the first time, made it possible to
produce absolutely round steel balls by grinding. This invention is regarded as the foundation for the entire rolling bearing industry. This is one of the reasons why FAG has long been
considered to be a pioneer in rolling bearing technology. Today, FAG is one of the leading brands for applications in machine building, the automotive industry and in aviation and
aerospace technology. The Schaeffler Group’s FAG brand has companies, subsidiaries and sales agencies in all major industrial countries. Since 2001, FAG has been part of the Schaef-
fler Group and has been active in all of the group’s divisions – Aerospace, Automotive and Industrial. Together with INA’s complementary product range, FAG has one of the widest
product portfolios in the rolling bearing industry, covering nearly all applications in production machinery, power transmission and rail technology, heavy industry and consumer
products. FAG ball bearings and roller bearings are manufactured as standard and special bearings in many designs and sizes with diameters ranging from 3 millimeters to 4.25
meters. Together with INA, FAG offers customers comprehensive support and services for the diagnosis, maintenance and mounting of rolling bearings and complete systems. As a
forward-looking company, the Schaeffler Group with its brand FAG has invested significant amounts in research and development. Modern simulation methods and testing facilities
as well as special materials engineering laboratories ensure the continuous development and improvement of all product lines and confirm the innovative force of FAG.See also:

The Company was founded in 1910 as a small electric repair shop and was incorporated as Hitachi, Ltd. (Kabushiki Kaisha Hitachi Seisakusho), a joint stock corporation, in 1920 un-
der the laws of Japan. Hitachi’s business is integrated from development, production and delivery to after-sales service and engineering support. Cores are Engine Management Sys-
tems, Electronic Powertrain Systems, Drive Control Systems and Vehicle Information Systems. Hitachi is a globally active auto-parts maker. Hitachi products can be found in cars in
Japan and around the world. Hitachi makes use of the combined strength of the diverse Hitachi Group as Automotive Systems Hitachi, Ltd.: As one of the world’s leading all-around
manufacturers in the electric and electronics industries, the company is a system integrator that combines a broad range of technologies, from power generation to semiconductors
and information technology, in the promotion of technological innovation for automobiles.
Xanavi Informatics Corporation: Using the leading-edge electronics technology of Hitachi group in synergy with the In-Vehicle equipment engineering expertise attained through
research and development collaborative with automobile manufactures, Xanavi carries out development, production and sales of In-Vehicle information devices such as car
navigation system. Other automotive companies of the Hitachi Group are Clarion Co., Ltd., Hitachi Metals, Ltd., Hitachi Cable, Ltd., Hitachi Chemical Co.Ltd., Shin-Kobe Electric
Machinery Co., Ltd., Hitachi powdered Metals Co.Ltd..
Automotive market Renesas, a JV of Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric (Hitachi, Ltd. 55% Mitsubishi Electric Corporation 45%), is one of the largest automotive semiconductor suppliers worldwide
leader in:
Main automotive Nissan/Renault, Toyota Group, incl. Subaru, Ford Group, incl.Mazda, GM Group, Izusu, Honda, Suzuki, Others
customers:
R&D data: Hitachi’s R&D expenditures amounted to ¥412.5 billion in fiscal 2006, ¥428.1 billion in fiscal 2007 and ¥416.5 billion in fiscal 2008. The ratio of R&D expenditures to total revenues
was approximately 4% over these three years.
Revenue split: Automotive sales were mainly generated through Power & Industrial Systems and High Functional Materials & Components
Strategy: Hitachi has been striving to adress enviromental needs, which they recognize as an important issue. In FY 2006, Hitachi started delivering inverters for GM Motor Corp. Hybid cars,
and in FY 2007 they won orders for lithium-ion batteries. In the batterie field, Hitachi Vehicle Energy, Ltd., is striving to speed up development of lithium-ion batteries. In terms of
technologies to make vehicles safer, they have jointly developed a stereo camera for automobiles with Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., and this porduct is already on the market. They will
continue seeking to capture synergies across the Hitachi Group to meet diversifing needs in the automotive equipment systems business.
Hitachi’s revenues declined in all segments over fiscal 2008, but especially in the Power & Industrial Systems segment, the Digital Media & Consumer Products segment and the
High Functional Materials & Components segment, in tandem with rapidly falling demand for automobiles, semiconductors, industrial equipment and other products.
Power & Industrial Systems: Sales of automotive equipment have been severely affected by the worldwide collapse in demand for automobiles. Sales of construction machinery
have also been severely affected by the worldwide decline in demand for residential and private-sector investment. These trends may not improve or may even worsen in fiscal 2009,
with adverse impact on sales of Hitachi’s automotive equipment and construction machinery.
High Functional Materials & Components: Sales, particularly of semiconductor-related materials and automotive-related components, have been depressed due to reduced
production volume by manufacturers in the semiconductor and automotive industries, and such production volume may be lower yet in fiscal 2009, with adverse impact on sales
of Hitachi’s products.

Main automotive ArvinMeritor serves a broad range of OEM customers worldwide, including truck OEMs, light vehicle OEMs, trailer producers and specialty vehicle manufacturers, and certain aftermarkets.
customers: Their ten largest customers accounted for approximately 44% of fiscal year 2008 sales from continuing operations. The largest customer AB Volvo represented 14% of the
total sales in fiscal year 2008. No other customer comprised 10% or more of the company’s sales in fiscal year 2008.
R&D data: ArvinMeritor spent $136 million in fiscal year 2008, $124 million in fiscal year 2007, and $114 million in fiscal year 2006 on company-sponsored research, development and engi-
neering. ArvinMeritor employs professional engineers and scientists globally, and have additional engineering capabilities through contract arrangements in low-cost countries.

Sales to AB Volvo represented 14 percent, 16 percent and 13 percent of the company’s sales in each of fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For fiscal year 2006, sales to
DaimlerChrysler AG (which owned Mercedes-Benz AG, Freightliner and Chrysler) represented 19 percent of the company’s sales. No other customer comprised 10 percent or more of
the company’s sales in any of the three fiscal years ended September 30, 2008. These sales include pass-through components that are acquired and incorporated into ArvinMeritor’s
systems or modules at the customer’s request.
Strategy: In fiscal year 2008, the company made a strategic decision to separate its Light Vehicle Systems (LVS) and Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS) businesses. Upon completion of the
separation, the commercial vehicle business – consisting of truck, trailer, specialty products and the commercial vehicle aftermarket – will remain with ArvinMeritor. They initially
determined that the separation would be accomplished through a spin-off of the LVS business via a tax-free distribution to ArvinMeritor stockholders. Although the spin-off
continues to be an option, the weakened financial markets, as well as further slow down in the automotive market, and other factors have prompted them to investigate other
alternatives for the separation, including a potential sale of all thier portions of the business.
On November 18, 2008 ArvinMeritor announced that a sale of LVS will be the primary path and that the wheels business of LVS will be retained by the company. Upon closing a sale
transaction, they expect to incur a significant loss. However, they are unable to estimate a range of loss.

R&D data: Research, development and engineering expenses increased significantly, primarily due to higher spending on development programs for future products including increased
headcount, compensation and related expenses. Compensation and related expenses include salaries, variable compensation and fringe benefits. Fluctuations in other miscellane-
ous research and development expenses were not significant individually or in the aggregate. Overall, research, development and engineering expenses as a percentage of sales
increased to 2.9 percent in 2008 from 2.5 percent in 2007.
Research and development expenses, net of contract reimbursements, were US$422 million in 2008, US$318 million in 2007 and US$312 million in 2006. Contract reimbursements
were US$61 million in 2008, US$52 million in 2007 and US$40 million in 2006. For 2008 and 2007, 27 percent, or US$116 million, and 17 percent, or US$55 million, respectively,
were directly related to compliance with 2010 EPA emissions standards. For 2006, 3 percent, or US$10 million, was related to compliance with 2007 EPA emissions standards.
Revenue split: Engine Net Sales by Market: Heavy-duty truck: FY09: 2,308 US$, FY2007: 1,948 US$, Medium-duty truck and bus: FY08: 1,550 US$, FY07: 1,284 US$, Light-duty automotive and RV:
FY08: 804 US$, FY07: 1,340 US, Total on-highway: FY08: 4,662 US$, FY07: 4,572 US$, Industrial: FY08: 3,029 US$, FY07: 2,676 US$, Stationary power: FY08: 1,119 US$, FY07: 934 US$.
Net sales by region: United States: FY08: 5,817 US$, FY07: 6,007 US$, Brazil: FY08: 866 US$, FY07: 649 US$, China: FY08: 783 US$, FY07: 603 US$, India: FY08: 702 US$, FY07: 619
US$, United Kingdom: FY08: 692 US$, FY07: 621 US$, Canada: FY08: 619 US$, FY07: 405 US$, Other foreign countries: FY08: 4,863 US$, FY07: 4,144 US$.
Strategy: Net sales 2008 of Cummins increased in all segments due to the following drivers: Commercial power generation business experienced increased demand, especially
internationally. Cummins increased its market share in North American (includes the United States (U.S.) and Canada and excludes Mexico) heavy-duty truck and medium-duty
truck and bus markets. Industrial engine markets demand increased, particularly the international construction and commercial marine markets. Cummins’ Distribution segment
benefited from increased demand as well as the acquisition of a majority interest in three previously independent distributors. Cummins’ turbocharger and emissions solutions
businesses experienced increased demand. Cummins had a favorable impact from foreign currency translation.
These increases in net sales were partially offset by softening in the U.S. economy which has resulted in a significant reduction in demand in light-duty automotive and recreational
markets for engines as well as decreased demand for consumer power generation products and a significant reduction in most other markets in the fourth quarter of 2008 as the
result of the economic recession.

Number of fully consolidated companies 12/31/2008: Germany 29, Other countries 76; 12/31/2007 Germany 26, Other countries 73. In addition, two associated companies are
included using the equity method. Fourteen subsidiaries are not consolidated because their total influence on the Group’s performance in terms of assets, financial position, and
earnings is of lesser importance. These include the recently founded Benteler Automotive India Private Limited, in India, and Benteler Automotive (Fuzhou) Co., Ltd., in China. The
four companies of the Rothrist Group, which were not consolidated in the prior year in exercise of the option under Sec. 296 (1) No. 2 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), were
consolidated for the first time in 2008. The following other companies have also been consolidated for the first time: Benteler SGL GmbH & Co. KG, Benteler SGL Verwaltungs-GmbH
(both in Paderborn, Germany), Benteler JIT Pamplona S.L., in Spain, and Benteler Automotive Netherlands B.V., in the Netherlands. Charles Nell S.A. and Benteler Automotive S.A.,
both in Switzerland, were merged with Kindlimann AG,also in Switzerland, in 2008.
Automotive market Operating under the Benteler name, the business is not only one of the largest independent automotive suppliers, but also one of the most important steel tube manufacturers in
leader in: Europe as well as one of the leading stock holders and processors of steel tubes and stainless steel tubes.
Main automotive Benteler Automotive is a full-service supplier to virtually every major automobile manufacturer worldwide; several automotive suppliers
customers:
R&D data: The Benteler Group increased its development expenditures in 2008 to 123.3 million euros, 12.8% more than in 2007.
Revenue split: External sales by market area: Germany 1,765.5 Mio Euro, 27.9% 2008, 1,730.7Mio Euro, 27.4% 2007; Other EU and EFTA 2,277.3 Mio Euro, 36.0% 2008, 2,281.1 Mio Euro, 36.1%
2007; Americas 1,752.6 Mio Euro, 27.7% 2008, 1,806.7 Mio Euro, 28.6% 2007; Asia/Pacific 465.7 Mio Euro, 7.4% 2008, 427.2 Mio Euro, 6.8% 2007; Others 66.3 Mio Euro, 1.0% 2008,
73.7 Mio Euro, 1.1% 2007.
Benteler Automotive remained the largest division, with nearly 70% of Group sales. Sales at the division decreased by 4%, to 4,580 million Euros.
Strategy: Automotive: The Chassis Systems Product Group’s sales were down 5%. This product group develops and manufactures chassis subframes, control arms and knuckles, as well as
complete, ready-to-install front and rear suspension modules. Module sales decreased because one customer procured materials for a major order directly. A plant closing in Canada
also had the effect of reducing revenues. The customer halted production of the vehicle at the end of 2007. A new module order began in Spain; here Benteler Automotive built a
module assembly plant for the VW Polo and Seat Ibiza. Production of chassis components remained at the previous year’s level in 2008. Sales of both modules as well as chassis
components were increasingly impacted by the economic situation during the course of the year.
The Structures Product Group is the second-largest business unit at Benteler Automotive. It manufactures high-strength safety components such as bumpers, roof frames, A- and
B-pillars, door beams and instrument panel supports, as well as press parts (primarily for internal use). This product group’s sales revenues maintained the prior year’s level in 2008.
As in the other units, sales volumes to outside customers decreased. But this decrease was compensated by increased deliveries of press parts to other product groups.
The Engine and Exhaust Systems Product Group develops and manufactures components and systems to optimize exhaust gas temperature and management, and to reduce emis-
sions. These include, for example, exhaust manifolds and housings for converters and diesel particle filters. The product group also manufactures parts for engine management and
fuel supply. Its sales revenues were down 16% in 2008. Lower sales volumes caused revenues for exhaust systems to decrease especially sharply in North America. In components for
engine management and fuel supply, the revision of the product portfolio in past years joined with recent economic conditions to reduce revenues.
The Engineering Services Product Group offers engineering services for external and internal customers. It also produces machines and tools for Benteler Automotive and for the
glass industry. Both the engineering business and the glass processing business grew. During the year, a portion of this group’s activities were transferred to other product groups,
so that sales are not comparable with the prior-year figures.

and development of society and the well-being of people worldwide through its business activities. In 2008, the 90th anniversary of its founding, the Company made a new start
by changing its name from Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. to Panasonic Corporation. As from October 1, 2008, the Company’s new name is Panasonic Corporation. Based in
Osaka, Japan, the Company recorded consolidated net sales of approximately 7,766 billion yen for fiscal 2009. Over the past nine decades (history, see: http://panasonic.net/history/),
the Company has grown from a small domestic household electrical equipment manufacturer into a comprehensive electronic and electric equipment, systems and components
manufacturer operating internationally. Panasonic is one of the largest electronic product manufacturers in the world, comprised of over 600 companies. It manufactures and
markets over 15,000 products under brands such as Panasonic, National and Technics to enhance and enrich lifestyles all around the globe. Panasonic is comprised of 14 business

In the automotive electronics business (see also http://panasonic-denko.co.jp/automotive/e/index.html) Panasonic is developing operations in wide-ranging fields, from car naviga-
tion systems to key devices such as engine control unit. In fiscal 2009, Panasonic commercialized Strada F Class, a car navigation system equipped with a new home-link feature,
which enables drivers to remotely control household appliances from their vehicles. Amid growing use of Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) systems, Panasonic’s ETC terminal, one of the
smallest worldwide, it was popular among car owners and retained a high market share. The ETC systems are installed in more than 80% of the cars passing through expressway toll
booths in Japan, and this is easing traffic congestion at these bottlenecks, which is expected to reduce CO2 emissions.

On November 6, 2008, Pirelli & C. S.p.A. and Russian Technologies sealed an agreement for a new industrial joint venture between the two companies that will start production of
tyres in Russia within the next two to three years, compatible with the evolution of the macroeconomic scenario. To date, the agreements signed between the two companies call
for the building of a new site for the manufacture of car and truck tyres in the Samara region with initial production capacity of about 4.2 million pieces, for a joint investment of
approximately Euros 300 million.
On October 20, 2008, Pirelli Eco Technology S.p.A., the company in the Pirelli Group which operates in the field of technologies for controlling emissions from diesel engines, an-
nounced that it was the first in Italy to obtain homologation from the Italian Ministry of Infrastructures and Transportation for five types of particulate filters for existing light and
heavy trucks. The Pirelli particulate filters, developed using silicon carbide technology, can reduce fine-particle diesel engine emissions by more than 95 percent, and can make a
significant contribution to improving air quality. As a result of homologation, vehicles fitted with Pirelli’s particulate filters will have a better category of exhaust from the standpoint
of the Euro standards (the range is Euro0 - Euro5) and will also be allowed to circulate freely in urban areas where vehicles that produce greater pollution are denied access.
On August 21, 2008, Pirelli Tyre S.p.A. purchased the minority stakes in the two subsidiaries through which it operates in Turkey from Isbank. The group acquired 25.75 percent of Pirelli
Turk Lastikleri A.S. (which manufactures and markets car and industrial vehicle tyres) and 48 percent of Celikord A.S. (which manufactures and markets steelcord). As part of the
transaction, Pirelli also acquired another 1 percent stake in Celikord from other shareholders. The total amount of the transactions is about Euros 43 million, with a positive impact on
the result for the year of Euros 27.3 million owing to the fact that the cost of acquisition is lower than the relative accounting net assets acquired. Following the agreement, Pirelli holds
95.35 percent of Pirelli Turk Lastikleri and 100 percent of Celikord. The operation strengthens the group’s position in a country that is strategic in terms of manufacturing, marketing and
logistics. On July 10, 2008, the Italian Ministry for the Environment signed an agreement with the City of Beijing to begin an experiment in the Chinese capital on the particulate filter
technology developed by Pirelli Eco Technology. Such filters are capable of reducing fine particle diesel engine emissions by more than 95 percent. The agreement calls for the installation
of Pirelli filtering systems on heavy vehicles (mainly buses, but also trucks and later snow ploughs and tractors) that will be supplied to the local public transport company. The first filter-
ing systems were installed before the start of the Olympics in August 2008.
On April 22, 2008, the Pirelli Group and Politecnico University of Milan sealed an agreement to set up a chair on “Chemical Foundations of Rubber and Compounds Technology”.
The new professorship will study innovative materials and the useof nanotechnology for the development of new-generation tyres. Pirelli will also fund five PhD research scholarships
under this agreement over a period of 10 years in the Chemical, Materials and Chemical Engineering “G. Natta” Department at Politecnico University of Milan.
On June 3, 2008, the Pirelli Group announced its intention to increase production in Egypt thanks to a new investment of U.S. $65 million to expand the capacity of the radial tyre factory for
trucks and buses in Alessandria in Egypt. The new investment will enable this Egyptian factory to raise its annual production to one million pieces and become the largest radial
tyres production facility for industrial vehicles in the MEA area (Middle East and Africa).
March 11, 2008, Pirelli & C. S.p.A. reached an agreement to acquire the entire share capital of Speed S.p.A., a company in which interests are held by leading financial institutions
(Intesa San-Paolo, Gruppo Banca Leonardo, UniCredit, One Equity Partners - JP Morgan Group, Lehman Brothers and Mediobanca), and, the holder, since August 2006, of the
38.9 percent stake in Pirelli Tyre S.p.A., for Euros 434.4 million which was financed by the company’s liquid resources. The price takes into account a loan by Speed S.p.A. of
Euros 401.1 million. Following the acquisition of the equity of the minority shareholders, the Group owns 100 percent of Pirelli Tyre S.p.A.

Strategy: Tenneco has increased revenues to $5.9 billion annually and penetrated new markets to solidify its leadership in the global automotive supply industry. The company is well
positioned to capture significant revenue growth going forward as the result of stricter light and commercial vehicle emission regulations being implemented in most markets
worldwide over the next five years. Acquisitions: On September 1, 2008, Tenneco acquired the suspension business of Gruppo Marzocchi, an Italy based worldwide leader in sup-
plying suspension technology in the two wheeler market. The consideration paid for the Marzocchi acquisition included cash of approximately $1 million, plus the assumption of
Marzocchi’s net debt (debt less cash acquired) of about $6 million. The Marzocchi acquisition is accounted for as a purchase business combination with assets acquired and liabilities
assumed recorded in their consolidated balance sheet as of September 1, 2008 including $10 million in goodwill. The acquisition of the Gruppo Marzocchi suspension business
includes a manufacturing facility in Bologna, Italy, associated engineering and intellectual property, the Marzocchi brand name, sales, marketing and customer service operations
in the United States and Canada, and purchasing and sales operations in Taiwan. The final allocation of the purchase price is pending the fair value appraisal of the long-lived assets
acquired which will be completed by the third quarter of 2009.
On May 30, 2008, Tenneco acquired from Delphi Automotive Systems LLC certain ride control assets and inventory at Delphi’s Kettering, Ohio facility. They are utilizing the purchased
assets in other locations to grow their OE ride control business globally. Tenneco paid approximately $10 million for existing ride control components inventory and approximately
$9 million for certain machinery and equipment.
Tenneco’s global footprint helped the company attract new business despite difficult industry conditions. The new business included contracts with several Japan-based manu-
facturers for 13 different vehicle platforms, launching between late 2009 and 2011. Most of this business will be produced in the expanding markets of Brazil, Russia, India, China
and Thailand, enabling Tenneco to expand operations in these fast-growing emerging markets. In 2007 and 2008, the company has won more than $265 million annualized in new
business with Japanese OEMs.

Company details: Tire Business: Sumitomo Rubber Industries engages in the manufacture and sale of tires primarily consisting of the Dunlop, Falken and Goodyear brands. Forming a global tire
business alliance with The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in 1999, Sumitomo Rubber Industries has established joint ventures with them for production and sales activities in
Europe and North America, as well as for sales in Japan, while also promoting tire technology exchange and jointly procuring raw materials and manufacturing equipment.

R&D data: With a core of Sumitomo Rubber Industries’ R&D organization and facilities, the Group promotes R&D activities in wide-ranging fields—the tire, sports and industrial and other
product businesses—in close cooperation with its subsidiaries and affiliates around the world. In addition, the Group has pursued the exchange of technology in its Tire business
based on a global alliance with The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company since 1999. In conjunction with this, the Group formed dedicated project teams to carry out joint research for
specific themes.
Furthermore, Sumitomo Rubber is constructing the Tyre Technical Center, which is going to be the key facility of the Group’s R&D activities for tire technology. The Tyre Technical
Center will engage in the development of next-generation, eco-friendly tires.
Total R&D expenses in the fiscal year 2008 amounted to ¥19,351 million, which accounted for 3.2% of consolidated net sales.
Research and development expenses climbed 6.2% year on year. The Tire business accounted for ¥16,013 million of these expenses, up 6.0% from the previous fi scal year,
the Sports business ¥1,417 million, up 12.9%, and the Industrial and Other Products business ¥1,920 million, up 3.1%.

of total sales.
Tire Business: Sales in the Tire business rose 4.7% year on year to ¥501,063 million, while operating income dropped 55.8% to ¥15,849 million. This was due to unprecedented raw
material price hikes and profit deterioration in the export business, reflecting the appreciation of the Japanese yen in the second half of fiscal 2008. Compared with the previous
fiscal year, such factors caused the Group’s overall raw material costs to rise by approximately ¥36.7 billion and brought about ¥5 billion in foreign currency exchange losses. With
the aim of absorbing the impact of decreased earnings, Sumitomo Rubber Industries strived to develop and release new products, while implementing proactive sales expansion
promotion activities in overseas markets. Furthermore, the Company pushed to streamline product distribution and increase production overseas. Together with this, the Company
engaged in various measures, including the optimization of sales prices, in pursuit of securing profits.
Sports Business: Sales in the Sports business grew 24.8% year on year to ¥74,289 million, and operating income expanded 13.9% to ¥7,719 million. Amid deteriorating golf goods
markets both in Japan and overseas, demand for the XXIO golf clubs remained robust in the domestic market. Overseas, SRI Sports acquired U.S. golf club maker Cleveland in
December 2007. These factors resulted in an increase in sales and profits.
Industrial and Other Products Business: Sales in the Industrial and Other Products business rose 1.1% from the previous fiscal year to ¥29,622 million, while operating income
decreased 25.7% to ¥1,813 million. During the fiscal year under review, sales of civil engineering/marine facility-related products such as marine fenders and medical rubber parts
were favorable. In addition, artificial turf for sporting use and GRAST vibration-control technology using extra-high damping rubber showed brisk demand. However, sales of this
segment’s mainstay precision rubber parts for printers and photocopiers were stagnant on the back of the global economic recession and the impact of the strong yen. As a result,
decreased revenues and earnings were recorded in this segment.
Strategy: In its Long-Term Vision, the Sumitomo Rubber Group aims to become a corporate group that consistently generates superior corporate value in various business sectors by 2015.
It will accomplish this aim through its proprietary driving forces, namely: front-line operational skills, leading development capabilities and technological expertise, in addition
to having the industry’s top earnings power.
In pursuit of achieving the goals of its Long-Term Vision, the Group will make maximum use of rubber’s potential as a material in its three business segments of Tire, Sports and
Industrial and Other Products. The Sumitomo Rubber Group will continue to take on the challenge of creating new benefits in an effort to enhance stakeholder value. In its mainstay
Tire business, Sumitomo Rubber Industries is striving to increase its overseas tire production ratio from 25% to 60% compared with performance in 2005, while aiming to double
sales in the overseas replacement market by 2015. By doing so, the Company will gain a competitive position in the global tire market.

Outlook for the current fiscal year: The outlook for the industry is negative. Behr anticipates that the downward trend on the European passenger car market will continue in the
current year and that production will drop by over 20%. For commercial vehicles, a decrease of as much as 50% is to be expected. Behr also expects the USA market to decline further.
Experts predict that light vehicle production will fall to well below 10 million units. In 2008, 12.9 million vehicles in this class were produced; in 2007, it was even 15 million. Based
on these assumptions, Behr anticipates that Behr Group sales will decrease by 15 to 20% in 2009. The numerous new product launches will help ensure that the downturn will not
continue to worsen. Profit situation will become more acute. For this reason, Behr will continue to consistently implement the measures introduced to reduce costs and increase
profitability. However, some of these measures will first have an effect in 2010. Even if the market does not recover significantly, Behr´s objective is to make the turnaround in 2011.

Company details: In 2008, the international automotive supplier Brose celebrated its 100th anniversary: The company’s founder Max Brose opened in 1908 a firm in Berlin that traded in automotive
accessories and aircraft materials and so laid the foundation for a group that is today ranked fifth among family-owned automotive suppliers worldwide. In 1919 Max Brose founded
Metallwerk Max Brose & Co. in Coburg together with his partner Ernst Jühling and headed the company for six decades. In three-and-a-half decades, his grandson Michael Stoschek
developed Brose into an international group that is a world leader in terms of market share, technology and quality.
With 50 locations, Brose is today globally represented on all major automotive markets: Headquarters in Germany (Coburg), USA (Detroit) und China (Shanghai); sites for Develop-
ment and Sales in Germany (Berlin, Coburg, Hallstadt, Ingolstadt/Munich, Nuremberg, Oldenburg, Rüsselsheim, Stuttgart, Wolfsburg, Wuppertal and Würzburg), France (Paris),
Russia (Moscow), Sweden (Gothenburg), USA (Detroit), China (Shanghai), India (Pune), Japan (Nagoya and Toyota City), Korea (Suwon); sites for production: Europe in Germany

Main automotive More than 40 vehicle brands and automotive suppliers

R&D data: In 2008 Brose spent 10% of sales revenues on developing new products and production methods, information technology as well as personnel training and development.
The company also invested some 200 million euros in expanding their technological expertise. There are 1,600 employees working in the worldwide research and development
departments.
Revenue split: The Brose Group was able to continue its course of growth in 2008. Thanks to the acquisition of the electric motors operations from Continental AG, the increase in global turnover
was particularly significant. Sales revenues rose by 13% to 2.8 billion euros, a figure which includes turnover amounting to around 450 million euros from the motor business.
The Brose business divisions developed differently. While sales revenues generated by door systems fell by 9%, the seat system business increased by 3%, and the turnover in the
area of closure systems rose by 4%.
Strategy: With its new business division “drives” ** Brose further expands its competence as a specialist in mechatronic systems for the body and interior of the car. The company wants to
offer their customers an optimum price/performance ratio in terms of technology, quality and service. The increase in global turnover was particularly significant. Sales revenues
rose by 13% to 2.8 billion euros, a figure which includes turnover amounting to around 450 million euros from the motor business. After three consecutive quarters of strong growth
in all business segments, customer call-offs decreased in the 4th quarter of 2008 due to the sharp decline in global vehicle production by as much as 40%.
On account of the sharp decline in sales in the final quarter of 2008, the high staffing level of more than 15,000 employees worldwide could not be maintained. More than 1,000
jobs were cut at locations in Europe and overseas, by deploying fewer temporary staff and not filling posts that became vacant. In addition, shifts were reduced from October 2008,
flexi-time accounts and remaining vacation days were used up and the holiday closure period at locations worldwide was extended over the New Year. Thus at the end of 2008,
there were approx. 14,300 people working for the corporate group at 52 locations in 21 countries around the world.
“Despite the current economic crisis, Brose will be investing in new products, technologies, qualified managerial staff and employees in 2009 as well. 100 million euros have been
planned for investments in fixed assets. These include, for example, extending the test center in Coburg, expanding the testing capabilities of our headquarters in Detroit and
Shanghai as well as preparing manufacturing facilities for product SOPs in our plants in Europe and overseas. In addition, a distinct focus will be on building up development and
sales functions in Asia and Eastern Europe,” says Jürgen Otto, CEO of the Brose Group.

Company details: Eaton Corporation is a diversified power management company with 2008 sales of $15.4 billion. Eaton is a global technology leader in: electrical components and systems for power
quality, distribution and control; hydraulics components, systems and services for industrial and mobile equipment; aerospace fuel, hydraulics and pneumatic systems for commercial
and military use; and truck and automotive drivetrain and powertrain systems for performance, fuel economy and safety. It has approximately 75,000 employees and sells products
to customers in more than 150 countries. In the first quarter of 2008, Eaton realigned its business segment financial reporting structure. The Fluid Power segment was realigned into
the Hydraulics segment and the Aerospace segment. The Electrical and Truck segments continued as individual reporting segments and the automotive fluid connectors business was
transferred to the Automotive segment from Fluid Power. Accordingly, business segment information for prior years has been restated to conform to the current year’s presentation.
The realignment of the segments did not affect net income for any of the periods presented. The principal markets for the Electrical segment are industrial, institutional, government,
utility, commercial, residential, IT, mission critical and original equipment manufacturer customers. These products are used wherever there is a demand for electrical power in com-
mercial buildings, data centers, residences, apartment and office buildings, hospitals and factories. Customers are generally concentrated in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific;
however, sales are made globally. Sales are made directly and indirectly through distributors, resellers and manufacturers representatives to these customers. The principal markets
for the Hydraulics segment include oil and gas, renewable energy, marine, agriculture, construction, mining, forestry, utility, material handling, truck and bus, machine tools, molding,
primary metals, power generation and entertainment. Customers are located globally, and products are sold and serviced through a variety of channels. The principal markets for the
Aerospace segment are manufacturers of commercial and military aircraft and related after-market customers. Customers are located globally, and products are sold and serviced
through a variety of channels. The principal markets for the Truck and Automotive segments are original equipment manufacturers and after-market customers of heavy-, medium-,
and light-duty trucks and passenger cars. Customers are located globally, and most sales are made directly to these customers.
Truck: The Truck segment is a leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of a complete line of powertrain systems and components for commercial vehicles. Products include trans-
missions, clutches and hybrid electric power systems. The principal markets for the Truck segment are original equipment manufacturers and after-market customers of heavy-, medium-
and light-duty trucks and passenger cars. These manufacturers and other customers are located globally, and most sales of these products are made directly to these customers.
Automotive: The Automotive segment is a leading supplier of critical components that reduce emissions and fuel consumption and improve stability and performance of cars, light trucks
and commercial vehicles. Products include superchargers, engine valves and valve actuation systems, cylinder heads, locking and limited slip differentials, transmission controls,
engine controls, fuel vapor components, compressor control clutches for mobile refrigeration, fluid connectors and hoses for air conditioning and power steering, decorative spoil-
ers, underhood plastic components, fluid conveyance products including, hose, thermoplastic tubing, fittings, adapters, couplings and sealing products to the global automotive
industry. The principal markets for the Automotive segment are original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket customers of light-duty trucks and passenger cars. These
manufacturers and other customers are located globally, and most sales of these products are made directly to these customers. Hybrid electric. Eaton’s hybrid electric power
systems have proven their ability to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions over more than nine million miles on the road. The technology continues to attract repeat orders
from large companies like Coca-Cola, FedEx and UPS and new orders from Wal-Mart and other greenminded customers of all sizes. Eaton hybrid electric systems are now a factory-
built option at four major U.S. commercial vehicle manufacturers, enabling us to capture a large share of this growing market. Truck and bus manufacturers in Europe and Asia are
also integrating Eaton hybrid power to meet green city and fleet demands, saving fuel and greatly reducing harmful emissions. As the world’s appetite grows for environmentally
friendly commercial vehicles, Eaton is primed to deliver.
Automotive market Intelligent truck drivetrain systems for safety and fuel economy; automotive engine air management systems, powertrain solutions and specialty controls for performance,
leader in: fuel economy and safety
Main automotive The principal markets for the Truck and Automotive segments are original equipment manufacturers and after-market customers of heavy-, medium-, and light-duty trucks and
customers: passenger cars. These manufacturers are located globally and most sales of these products are made directly to such manufacturers. No single customer represented more than
10% of net sales in 2008, 2007 or 2006.
R&D data: Research & development expense in millions: FY08: 417 US$, FY07: 335 US$, FY06: 315 US$
Revenue split: 31% = $4.8 billion in revenues Residential electric, heavy-duty truck, automotive; 30% = $4.6 billion in revenues Hydraulics, industrial controls, medium-duty truck; 27% = $4.1 billion
in revenues, Commercial aerospace, nonresidential construction, power quality; 12% = $1.9 billion in revenues Electrical service, defense, filtration, aerospace aftermarket. During
2008, 55 percent of Eaton’s revenues were generated outside of the U.S., including more than 20 percent from developing economies. No single customer represented more than
10% of net sales in 2008, 2007 or 2006.
The 13% decrease in sales of the Automotive segment in 2008 from 2007 reflected a 15% decrease in sales volume, partially offset by a 2% increase from foreign exchange. In 2008,
global automotive markets declined 7% compared to 2007, with U.S. markets down 16% and non-U.S. markets down 2%. The North American markets were weak throughout 2008,
and Europe, Brazil and China also weakened dramatically during the year. In addition, the strike at a major U.S. automotive supplier was not fully resolved until very late in the
second quarter of 2008, further reducing automotive production in the U.S. in 2008. Additionally, due to the economic downturn in the fourth quarter of 2008, automotive markets
dropped sharply around the world, with automotive unit production in the fourth quarter declining by 24%.
Strategy: Eaton’s end markets continued to decline during early 2009. Eaton expects its end markets in 2009 to decline through the second, and possibly the third, quarter. Eaton now expects
its end markets to decline by between 10% and 11% compared to 2008. It expects to outgrow the end markets in 2009 by approximately $300 of sales, and also expects approxi-
mately $400 of sales growth from the full-year impact of the six acquisitions completed in 2008. These increases are expected to offset a decline in foreign currencies of 6%.
As a result, sales in 2009 are now anticipated to decline by 11% compared to 2008.
Corporate Goals: Eaton achieves its business goals by adhering to Eaton’s core values. The Eaton Philosophy states that success depends on the superior performance of each
employee in support of the customers. When employees commit themselves to the goals of the organization, sustained high performance will follow. This level of commitment does
not just happen; it is created when employees, managers and the company all share certain key beliefs about their mutual responsibilities to one another. The Eaton Philosophy
sets out these shared beliefs, describing a culture in which employees can achieve their full potential to make exceptional contributions, confident that these will be welcomed and
rewarded. The key elements of Eaton’s core values include: Making customers the focus of everything they do; Recognizing their own people as their greatest asset; Treating each
other with respect; Being fair, honest and open; Being considerate of the environment and their communities; Keeping commitments; Striving for excellence.

Company details: Flat Glass: With more than 37,000 employees in 40 countries, the Flat Glass business is the leading flat glass manufacturer in Europe and the second largest worldwide (source
Saint-Gobain). It comprises four main businesses: flat glass manufacturing, processing and distribution of glass for the building industry, automotive glazing, and distribution of
glass products, photovoltaic modules and systems for the solar energy market. Flat glass is manufactured in large industrial facilities on long float lines that produce everything
from basic clear and colored grades to more sophisticated types with metallic oxides or other special coatings for use in a wide range of applications, such as insulation and solar
control glass. The Flat Glass Division has 34 float lines worldwide, including 13 operated through joint ventures. A new line is currently under construction in Egypt.
High-Performance Materials: The High-Performance Materials Division delivers high valueadded solutions for the construction and manufacturing markets, leveraging proficiency
in three main types of materials – mineral ceramics (though the Ceramics, Grains & Powders, Abrasives and Crystals businesses), performance polymers (Performance Plastics) and
glass fabrics (Textile Solutions). The Division has acquired leading edge expertise in a range of technologies running across these businesses, enabling it to leverage all the benefits
of these highly complementary materials and to design innovative composites. The High-Performance Materials Division allocates a significant proportion of net sales to Research
and Development (close to 4% in 2008). Most of the Research and Development commitment is focused on large projects that demonstrate the immense potential of these types of
materials to address today’s most critical habitat and construction, energy and environmental challenges. Examples of Research and Development projects include:
Improving roof performance with films and compound fabrics. By combining performance plastics and glass fabrics, they can design new roofing films and membranes that last
longer, insulate better and are self-cleaning. Reducing automotive emissions with the diesel particulate filter. Silicon carbide, one of the Division’s key materials, is used to meet
exacting specifications for particulate filters, which will become compulsory on diesel engines under European standards in 2010. Decentralizing power generation with fuel cells.
Ceramicoxide fuel cells can be used to generate home electricity from natural gas.
Construction Products: Saint-Gobain Construction Products markets interior and exterior solutions through its Gypsum, Insulation, Exterior Fittings, Pipe and Industrial Mortars
divisions. The Sector has products for every need, both technical (such as noise control, insulation, sheathing or waterproofing) and non-technical (for example, easy installation
or stylish design), backed by highly professional teams, well-known brands and robust strategic positions. The highlight of the year was the March acquisition of the Maxit group,
which has doubled the size of the industrial mortars business and lifted it to the position of leader (Source Saint-Gobain) in Germany and the Nordic countries. In the coming years,
we will continue to expand in the renovation markets by providing innovative energy-saving and noise control solutions.
Building Distribution: Saint-Gobain’s Building Distribution Sector is Europe’s leading distributor of building materials and the world’s leading distributor of ceramic tiles (Source
Saint-Gobain), serving the building, renovation and interior decoration markets. Its customers include builders, architects, interior decorators and DIY enthusiasts. Since it was
founded in 1996, the Sector has expanded rapidly through a combination of organic and external growth. The acquisition process began in France, with Point.P and Lapeyre, and
continued in the United Kingdom, with Jewson and Graham, Germany, the Netherlands and Eastern Europe, with Raab Karcher, the Nordic countries with Dahl and Optimera, and
the United States, where the acquisition of Norandex has taken the business to a new level. In 2008, the Sector continued to consolidate its network through bolt-on acquisitions
and by opening new sales outlets, while also extending its geographic footprint with the acquisition of DLH in Denmark and Famar Desi in the Baltic countries.
Packaging: Saint-Gobain Packaging ranks No.2 worldwide (Saint-Gobain) in glass containers, with sales operations in forty-six countries and manufacturing facilities in twelve.
The Sector offers its 20,000 customers the power of a global network of six Research and Development centers, 49 glass plants and 98 glass furnaces, allied with a local marketing
presence in what is still an essentially regional market. In 2008, the Sector had 15,500 employees and produced 26.2 billion bottles and jars. Following the sale of its plastic pumps
business in 2006 and its flasks operations in 2007, the Sector has completely refocused on its core areas of excellence – wine, champagne and spirits bottles and food jars (for baby
foods, soluble products, yogurts, desserts, etc.). Saint-Gobain is a world leader (Source: Saint-Gobain) in these markets, a position that is supported by its strong regional footprint.
The Sector also operates in other segments of the food and beverages industry, supplying glass containers for such products as fruit juices, soft drinks, mineral water and oil.
Automotive market Flat Glass / Automotive glazing sector: No. 1 in Europe and no. 2 worldwide
leader in: Saint-Gobain Sekurit supplies the glazing for 1 car out of 2 in Europe.
Main automotive Saint-Gobain provides glass for fifty percent of all cars in Europe.

R&D data: Research and Development budget (in € millions, based on a comparable consolidation scope and constant exchange rates): FY08: 378, FY07: 357, FY06: 324.
The Group’s increased investment in Research and Development has also led to a steady rise in the number of patent applications filed in recent years. In 2008, 80% of the 338
filings concerned the Innovative Materials Sector and were spread more or less evenly between the High-Performance Materials Division and the Flat Glass Division. Saint-Gobain
has around 20,000 current patents worldwide.
Revenue split: Amid a difficult economic climate, Saint-Gobain delivered 2008 sales in line with 2007 figures, which marked a record year for the Group. Organic growth came in at 0.3% and
reflects the stark contrast between a satisfactory performance in the first nine months of the year and a sharp downturn in the fourth quarter.
Flat Glass FY08: 12.5%, High-Performance Materials 9.5%, Construction Products 25%, Building Distribution 45%, Packaging 8%
Breakdown of sales by market: Construction 34%, Renovation 36%, Other markets 30% thereof infrastructure 9%, automotive 6, other industries 6%, household consumption 9%
Strategy: Innovation is the driving of Saint-Gobain’s strategy. This is why resources dedicated to Research have been increasing by 10% every year since 2004. Recruitment of researchers and
technical staff has also gone up, rising in three years from 2,000 to almost 3,500 people in 2008.
Saint-Gobain works with over 200 universities and research laboratories worldwide. Every year the Group applies for more than 300 patents.

Main automotive Customers around the world, e.g. Audi, Bentley, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Toyota/Lexus
customers:
R&D data: Depreciation Expenses: FY2009: 286 Billions JPY; FY2008: 272 Billions JPY; FY2007: 222 Billions JPY.
Capital Expenditures: FY2009: 433 Billions JPY; FY2008: 273 Billions JPY; FY2007: 460 Billions JPY.
Research and Development Expenses: FY2008: 153 FY2009: Billions JPY; FY2008: 153 Billions JPY; FY2007: 147 Billions JPY.
R&D activities cover materials development, product design, testing and evaluation. Yokohama’s Research and Development Integrated Centre (RADIC) at the Hiratsuka Factory
is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including supercomputers and centrifugal separators. At its extensive testing facilities at D-PARC (Daigo Proving Ground and Research
Centre) and T*MARY (Takasu Motoring and Researching Yard) the company simulates all types of road surface. D-PARC’s oval track features 41-degree banking, Japan’s largest skid
pad, and 20 types of road surface. At T*MARY, a test course for snow tyres, Yokohama evaluates the driving, braking, and cornering capabilities of studless tyres under a variety of
conditions.
Revenue split: Sales declined in tires and in diversified products. Yokohama’s Tire Group posted sales declines in Japan in original equipment tires and in replacement tires, and tire sales were also
generally weak in overseas markets, where the appreciation of the yen weighed heavily on the yen-denominated sales totals.
In Yokohama’s Multiple Business (diversified products) Group, sales declines in hoses, sealants, aerospace products, and golf equipment more than offset gains in laminated bearings
for protecting structures from earthquakes.
Yokohama’s downturn in profitability resulted from the sales declines and the appreciation of the yen and also from productivity declines in tires and hoses associated with
slumping demand and from the continuing upward trend in raw material costs.
Strategy: Management Policies: Take on the challenge of new technologies to produce new value; Develop proprietary business fields to expand the scope of business; Create a workplace
that values, improves and energizes people; Deal fairly with society and value harmony with the environment.

The Group has set “The Pursuit of Technology and Creativity Based on Principles” as a basis for action, aiming to create unique and competitive products and conducting research
and development centered on safety, environmental, comfort and attractive product technology.
Revenue split: Automobile: FY09: 97.3%, FY08: 96.5%, Motorcycle: FY09: 1.9%, FY08: 2.0%, Other FY09: 0.8%, FY08: 1.5%.
In the Automobile segment, sales decreased 14.9%, to ¥394,000 million. Although orders in China, other parts of Asia and Brazil were generally robust, orders fell for the segment
as a whole owing to sharp contractions in the automobile markets in Japan and the United States. In the fiscal year under review, sales in the Automobile segment accounted for
97.3% of consolidated net sales, compared with 96.5% in the previous term. The Group’s main product category of automobile seats recorded sales amounting to ¥328,605 million,
a decline of ¥56,804 million, or 14.7%, compared with the previous fiscal year. Interior products, including door trim and roof trim products, posted sales totaling ¥65,059 million, a
decrease of ¥12,009 million, or 15.6%, compared with the previous fiscal year.
Strategy: In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, the global economy entered a severe recession as effects from the financial crisis, which began in the United States, spread to the real
economy. In the automobile industry, slumping worldwide demand for automobiles led to a sharp contraction in the market. This downturn initially affected such markets as Japan,
North America and Europe, but later led to a fall in vehicle production volume in other parts of Asia, which had previously exhibited robust growth.
Consequently, automobile manufacturers and their suppliers were forced to respond to an extremely harsh operating environment in the midst of global-scale inventory
adjustments. Immediate actions by industry participants have included substantial production cuts and scaling back of capital expenditure plans. In light of current trends, the TS
TECH Group believes that the global contraction in automobile production volume will reach a low point in the present cycle during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.
TS TECH thinks that a recovery in output volume to the level recorded in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 is some distance off, considering the seriousness of the impacts of the
financial crisis in the United States and Europe. For this reason, their view is that difficult operating conditions will persist for the time being.
To serve Japanese auto makers moving production facilities overseas, TS TECH has actively pursued a global expansion strategy since 1977, when it first established a presence in
North America. In recent years they have strengthened their supply capabilities throughout Asia, including China, which has achieved astounding economic growth. The group
now has a global network consisting of 34 subsidiaries in 11 countries, including Japan. TS TECH is working to further establish a worldwide business and strengthen its global
competitiveness, by promoting more local production, setting up complementary systems based on alliances with local subsidiaries, and through the signing of technical assistance
agreements with local parts manufacturers in other areas.
On February 22, 2008, the Company reached a decision regarding the establishment of a new subsidiary in India, to be called TS TECH Sun Rajasthan Pvt. Ltd.
In North America, TS TECH began supplying seats and interior trim for the new Honda ACCORD in early 2008.
In China, the production of items for the Honda CIVIC and Honda CR-V remained strong, and in January 2008 TS TECH began supplying seats and interior trim for the
new Honda ACCORD as well.

While the global economy is expected to level out as a result of economic stimulus measures in countries around the world, financial uncertainty is likely to persist, while worsen-
ing employment instability will erode consumer confidence. The outlook is difficult to predict given the current lack of transparency in the stock markets and the numerous other
potential sources of volatility. In particular, negative growth is expected in the developed economies of Japan, North America and Europe, and the potential remains for further
deterioration in the economic environment.

Automotive Parts Business: Futaba´s clients in the auto industry have responded to a dramatic downturn in demand by launching a number of new environmentally friendly
models offering improved fuel efficiency, but the outlook for overall auto demand remains far from promising, and automakers are therefore being forced to build production
systems that enable them to adapt deftly to demand changes to ensure that they can remain profitable even in the face of diminished demand. Japans auto industry is engaged
in a global battle for market share, with worldwide competition equally fierce in areas such as technology development and cost reduction. They are working to further boost
manufacturing efficiency and establish closer ties with overseas companies with a view to better satisfying their current clients and making Futaba more appealing to potential
new customers. The Company is striving to make the various cost reductions needed to remain competitive in the rapidly developing mini- and super-mini car sector. Futaba is also
developing a number of proprietary technologies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and complying with various other environmental regulations, regarding such challenges as a
source of new business opportunities.

therefore been working to secure access to local manufacturing infrastructure while making every effort to further expand its customer base. The Company is also working with a
number of other firms to develop various energy-related equipment parts with a view to launching commercially viable technologies for preventing global warming at the soonest
possible opportunity.

challenges by strengthening their development capabilities and forging new alliances while simultaneously working with suppliers to keep costs as low as possible, and their Auto-
motive Parts Business has been striving to accommodate their clients’ evolving needs by establishing a global supply network, developing new environmentally friendly technolo-
gies, boosting their cost competitiveness, and improving quality wherever possible. Futaba´s long-term management objectives lie in boosting enterprise value while maintaining a
secure financial base, and they will continue to strive for world-leading product attributes, manufacturing technologies, and cost competitiveness by developing new products and
technologies while undertaking the various reforms that are required to improve our production and capital efficiency.

Revenue split: In the automotive bearings business, sales of hub unit bearings were strong in both Europe and China during the first half of the year. Although sales remained solid in China during
the second half of the year, sales in other areas decreased due to a rapid decline in production by automakers. In the automotive component business, sales in regions other than
the Americas were solid during the first half of the year. While there were production launches of electric power steering (EPS) systems both in Japan and Europe, a decline in
production by automakers negatively affected business in the second half of the year. As a result, net sales in the automotive products business totaled 352,453 million yen, a
year-to-year decrease of 19.1% despite efforts to reduce external procurement costs and labor costs. Operating income was 6,812 million yen, a decrease of 77.8%, due to negative
effects of volume reduction and reduced export profit margins caused by the appreciation of the Japanese yen and an increase in raw material costs.

Strategy: For Eberspächer, fiscal 2008 was one of the best seen in the Company’s recent history. Development over the course of the year was very varied, however. While in the first three
quarters the Group was able to continue its sustainable growth without hindrance, the global economic risis brought about a severe drop in sales in the fourth quarter. Neverthe-
less, Eberspächer achieved group revenue of EUR 2,239.9 million, irtually the prior year level. Further strategies were introduced to penetrate new product areas and sales markets.
For decades Eberspächer has been a global leader in the fields of exhaust technology and vehicle heaters. Today, the name Eberspächer also stands for innovative solutions in the
area of automotive electronics and future-oriented electronic networking. Eberspächer works in the automobile industry as a competent partner to reduce the environmental
impact of vehicles while making them more comfortable and safer. The dealers and automobile workshops around the world that Eberspächer supplies with pre-heaters and
exhaust systems also benefit from the extensive know-how that Eberspächer has acquired as a supplier to OEMs.
1st April 2009 – With immediate effect Eberspächer is extending its retrofit range with the addition of Delphi DIAVIA air conditioning systems for special-purpose vehicles
and transporters. It means that the Esslingen-based parking heater specialist is now positioned as a thermomanagement system supplier in this sector. DIAVIA is the European
market leader in air-conditioning system refits in the automotive sector, being part of the Delphi Automotive Systems based in Bologna, Italy.

R&D data: In 2008, a total of €140 million was allocated for research and development, equivalent to 5.2% of revenue. In all, 1,030 engineers and technicians - 7.5% of the workforce -
are employed worldwide in 13 R&D centers located near carmaker decision-making centers. The Company manages a portfolio of 652 patents, of which 51 were filed in 2008.
Revenue split: PSA Peugeot Citroën is now Plastic Omnium’s largest automotive customer, accounting for 18% of revenue (compared with 16% in 2007), followed by Renault at 17% (19% in 2007)
and General Motors at 15%, (19% in 2007). German carmakers Volkswagen/Porsche and BMW continued to increase their contribution, accounting, respectively, for 14% and 13% of

Hyundai now account for nearly half of Plastic Omnium’s sales in North America. Revenue continued to grow in emerging countries in Asia and South America, lifted by 2007
and 2008 capital projects in China and Argentina.
Strategy: Automotive - a necessary Transformation: The past year severely impacted the automobile industry, with a global financial and liquidity crisis, a slowdown in consumer spending
and declining demand in all markets. In these difficult times, the automobile is experiencing a crisis of its own. Once an object of desire, sometimes for the social status it bestows
on its owner, the automobile could become just another consumer product with price as the only differentiating factor. Carmakers must respond to this new situation, which is
shaped by greater environmental awareness, growing urban congestion, unstable fuel prices, and new driving habits, such as shared vehicles. These emerging expectations are
redesigning the model of the automotive world, in which the car will remain the preferred means of individual mobility and freedom. This world will see the development of highly
practical city cars that are service-oriented, restyled, more environmentally friendly and capable of being shared by different users. The emergence of this model represents an
opportunity for Plastic Omnium, which is pursuing its efforts to optimize its sustainable mobility solutions. One involves using plastic and composite exterior and structural compo-
nents that make cars lighter and more aerodynamic in order to reduce CO2 emissions. Another entails reducing diesel engine emissions and has already produced results that are
below the limit of 80 mg of nitrous oxide per kilometer set by the Euro 6 standard for 2014. Still another concerns new energy storage systems for hybrid and electric vehicles.
In China, YFPO, a manufacturer of exterior components in which Plastic Omnium holds a 49.95% stake, opened two new production plants in Nanjing and Pudong. June 2008 saw
the start-up of the Inergy plant in Wuhan, which supplies fuel systems for the Nissan Teana and the BMW 3-Series. The Automotive Division now has six facilities in China.
In Russia, a plant was built in Stavrovo to manufacture the fuel system for the Renault Logan, with production launched in early 2009.
In India, Inergy began construction of a plant, located between Madras and Bangalore, which will supply the fuel tank for a new low-cost vehicle produced by Toyota, beginning
in late 2010. Plastic Omnium and Varroc, its Indian partner, have also begun to build their plant in Pune, which will supply General Motors and Mahindra starting in 2010.

Strategy: Feb. 27, 2009 KOITO announces that, in view of the rapid worsening of the business situation, it will temporarily close two of its production plants in Japan (including a plant of
its consolidated subsidiary) as part of the emergency measures. To respond to the large reductions in orders, KOITO has taken various measures to cut expenses, such as reducing
investment in plants and equipment and cutting directors´remuneration and management employees´salaries. To reduce fixed costs further, KOITO has decided to accelerate the
rationalization of its operation by temporarily closing two of its plants in Japan, therby concentrating management resources.
With regard to KOITO’s business results for Fiscal year 2008 ending March 31, 2009, although performance remained relatively stable in the first half of the year, both net sales and
profit decreased drastically in the second half, due to the sharp plunge in automobile production in Japan and overseas resulting from the slumping global economy. For Fiscal year
2009, while KOITO plans to increase orders for new vehicle models, expand sales of its new products and actively reduce costs through various measures, the plunge in domestic and
international automobile production is likely to reduce KOITO’s net sales from last year and drastically reduce profit.

Company details: Rheinmetall: A Technology Group for Automotive and Defence is a group with a long tradition: 21,000 employees worldwide, market leader in what it does best, annual sales:
EUR 3.9 billion in 2008. Rheinmetall was established in 1889 as Rheinische Metallwaaren- und Maschinenfabrik Actiengesellschaft. Today, Rheinmetall AG is a financially strong,
internationally successful player in the markets for automotive components and defence equipment. The Automotive sector, parented by Kolbenschmidt Pierburg AG with its
divisions Pistons, Air Supply, Pumps, Aluminum Technology, Plain Bearings, and Motor Service, specializes in modules and systems “for every aspect of the engine”.
The Defence sector with its divisions Land Systems, Weapon and Munitions, Propellants, Air Defence, C4ISTAR and Simulation and Training, is one of Europe’s leading suppliers and
foremost specialist in the market for land forces equipment.
Rheinmetalls Automotive sector develops and manufactures eco-friendly auto industry products. In an age where the number of motor vehicles is growing worldwide and the global
climate changing, the Kolbenschmidt Pierburg Group as a development partner of automotive manufacturers addresses their needs for solutions in the areas of emission control,
fuel reduction, weight loss and performance enhancement while reconciling mobility trends with environmental protection requirements.

Main automotive Major OEMs, main customers include Daimler, Ford and Porsche
customers:
R&D data: Rigorously managed Automotive expenditures: The Kolbenschmidt Pierburg Group invested €146 million (down from €148 million), with emphasis on the setting-up and expan-
sion of facilities in the best-cost countries of India, Mexico and the Czech Republic, extending large-bore piston business, innovative production technologies, the development of
customer projects and productivity improvements. At Pune in India, an infrastructure investment project for setting up an industrial park is almost completed. This will be used in
unison by the Kolbenschmidt Pierburg divisions including Pierburg Pump Technology for water, oil and vacuum pumps. In France and Italy, the expenditure bill included supplier
tooling and new-product start-ups; in Germany, extended water circulating pump capacity with a new assembly line and winding shop. Besides the outlays in Brazil and the USA for
creating exhaust gas recirculation system production capacities, Pierburg invested in a second production shop at its Czech location. Finally, this division installed high-productivity
manufacturing plant for the successful rollout of several cooling unit projects.
R&D by corporate sector: Automotive: FY2008: €138 million, FY2007: €126 million, Defence: FY2008: €61 million, FY2007: €53 million.
In fiscal 2008 groupwide R&D accounted for €199 million (up from €179 million), including €175 million (up from €156 million) directly expensed and another €24 million
(up from €23 million) capitalized as development costs. The ratio of R&D expenditures to sales was 5.1 percent in 2008 (up from 4.5).
R&D activities at Automotive in 2008 centered on long-term auto industry trends: curbing of CO2 emissions, the introduction of tighter exhaust gas standards, such as Euro 5 and Euro 6,
reduction of component costs through state-of-the-art manufacturing methods and optimized products, and extended environmental requirements such as zero-lead bearings.
Revenue split: The corporate sector Automotive reported sales of €2,055 million for 2008, which was €194 million or 8.6 percent short of the 2007 figure. In the first nine months of the year it was
especially the weak US market that brought about sales losses of €45 million or 2.6 percent. Sales for the full 12 months were chiefly hit by the Q4 plunge of €149 million (down by
26.8 percent) attributable both to ongoing US production shrinkage and the dramatic production cutbacks by European OEMs. Apart from the aftermarket operations, all the Auto-
motive divisions were hurt by the business decline. Slumping Q4/2008 demand at Pierburg meant that this division generated appreciably reduced sales from all its product groups,
except air management. The only product group at the Pierburg Pump Technology division to show sales growth was water circulating pumps. Electric water pump sales were stable
while vacuum and oil pump business wilted. The Pistons division generated double-digit growth rates with its large-bore pistons yet without offsetting the weaker demand for the
smaller variety. The Plain Bearings division reported lower sales of metallic and Permaglide bearings as well as continuous castings. The latter decline was chiefly due to falling raw
material prices and a remixed product range.
The Aluminum Technology division encountered shrinking sales in all product groups. Aftermarket business at Motor Service proved resilient to the auto market recession thanks
to the successful implementation of its growth strategy and prospering business operations in South America. Exports at Automotive accounted for a substantially unchanged
67 percent (down from 68) of sector sales. European exports made up the largest sales share, 44 percent, just as in earlier years. Asia and the Middle East contributed 5 percent
to Automotive’s sales, North and Central America 11 percent, South America 6 percent, and other regions 1 percent.
Strategy: With a very good performance by its Defence Sector, Düsseldorf-based Rheinmetall AG demonstrated strength within the crisis-ridden economic environment of fiscal 2008.
Thanks to a healthy order situation and much improved profitability in the Defence sector, the Group was largely able to absorb its automotive business burdens.
As part of the further consolidation of its internationalization strategy, the Automotive sector amplified its presence in both India and China during 2008. On the heels of the
Pierburg division, Pierburg Pump Technology is the second division to be represented in India—by the newly founded Pierburg Pump Technology India Private Ltd. based in Mumbai,
Maharashtra. This will allow the Rheinmetall Group’s Automotive sector to dig deeper into this increasingly important market and more easily exploit the region’s growth potential.
Also reaching out into the Indian market has been KS Aluminum Technology, specifically the lightweight aluminum component segment with its ample growth potential: A license
agreement was signed with Jaya Hind Industries Ltd., Pune, on the development and production of cylinder heads, engine blocks, bedplates, and other castings destined for (inter)
national OEMs and their vendors.On behalf of the MS Motor Service division, the newly set-up MS Motor Service Shanghai Trading Company Ltd. is supplying from its Shanghai base
China and neighboring countries with aftermarket products. The company provides engineering competence in the form of local training and additional services while benefiting
from cooperation with other Kolbenschmidt Pierburg companies already resident in Shanghai.
KS Kolbenschmidt and Metaldyne Corp., a subsidiary of the Japanese auto industry supplier Asahi Tec, have entered into a worldwide strategic partnership for jointly developing and
marketing high-duty, lightweight and low-friction piston modules and assemblies. Two widely recognized partners are thus providing integrated R&D and projectmanagement with
the aim of improved control in the development, supply and quality assurance of these engine components. KS Kolbenschmidt’s R&D competence in piston module development is
supplemented by the joint development and marketing agreement made back in 2007 with NPR Nippon Piston Ring.

Company details: ALFA is the world’s leading manufacturer of high-tech aluminum engine heads and blocks (Nemak). It is one of the world’s largest producers of PTA, a petrochemical product,
and has a leading market share in other petrochemicals in Mexico. In addition, ALFA is Mexico’s leading producer of processed meats and cheese and one of the most important
telecommunications services companies in Mexico. Currently, ALFA has manufacturing operations in 17 countries and employs more than 47,800 people.
Nemak specializes in the production of aluminum cylinder heads, engine blocks and transmission parts, among other aluminum components for automotive applications since
it was founded in 1979. Nemak has experienced a steady growth rate thanks to strategic acquisitions, as well as organic growth. With 29 manufacturing facilities located in 13 dif-
ferent countries in Asia, Europe and North & South America, and nearly 15,000 employees worldwide, Nemak is ready to meet the demands of the automotive industry around the
world. Nemak’s sales reflected the significant acquisitions carried out during the year 2007, which increased its total annual production capacity from 20 million to 42 million engine
head equivalents, representing a 110 % increase. The combination of acquisitions and organic growth allowed it to reach sales of 31.9 million engine head equivalents in 2007,
a 107% increase over 2006. Sales measured in pesos increased by 109% in 2007 compared to 2006.
The significant drop in demand in the global automotive industry, which took place in 2008, limited Nemak’s performance. In spite of this, thanks to the full consolidation of the
plants it acquired in 2007. Nemak reported a 2% increase in sales compared to the prior year, thanks to the consolidation for a full year of the production of the plants acquired in
2007. The company capitalized on its competitive advantages to obtain new contracts in the year. However, on a comparative basis, Nemak’s sales decreased since the U.S. financial
and economic crisis resulted in a significant decline in automobile sales in that country. The impact could have been worse had it not been for Nemak´s market and customer
diversification together with the flexibility of Nemak’s production system.

growth will probably total less than 0.5% in 2009. To what extent the stability programs launched to date by the U.S. and European governments will effectively support the
markets remains to be seen. In 2009 Knorr-Bremse is expecting to see a sharp fall in worldwide commercial vehicle output accompanied by a massive decline in business for the
Commercial Vehicle Systems division.

Company details: Cooper Tire & Rubber Company is a leading manufacturer of replacement tires. It is the fourth largest tire manufacturer in North America. Cooper focuses on the manufacture and
sale of passenger and light truck replacement tires. It also manufactures radial medium and bias light truck tires. The Company also manufactures and sells motorcycle and racing
tires. Cooper tires cover a wide range of the tire market, from ultrahigh performance sports cars to SUVs and 4X4s, vans and trucks to motorcycles; and the company makes winter
tires and tires specifically for use on the race track. Beyond Cooper, there is a suite of associate brands -- Mastercraft, Avon, and Dean, along with Mickey Thompson and Dick Cepek
tires.
Cooper was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1930 as the successor to a business originally founded in 1914. Based in Findlay, Ohio, Cooper currently operates manufacturing
facilities and distribution centers in 10 countries. As of Dec. 31, 2008, the Company employed 13,311 persons worldwide. The Company is organized into two separate, reportable
business segments:
North American Tire Operations and International Tire Operations. Each segment is managed separately. The North American Tire Operations segment produces passenger car and
light truck tires, primarily for sale in the U.S. replacement market. The segment had a market share in 2007 of approximately 16 percent of all light vehicle replacement tire sales in
the United States. A small percentage of the products manufactured by the segment in the United States are exported throughout the world.
The International Tire Operations segment has manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom and China. International Tire Operations has formed a joint venture with an Asian
partner to build a manufacturing plant in China. Production in this facility commenced in the first quarter of 2007. In addition, the segment currently has a manufacturing supply
agreement with an Asian manufacturer to provide entry-level passenger tires from China for distribution in the European market.
In 2004, as a result of the anticipated sale of its automotive operations and the announced exiting of the inner tube business, Cooper designated certain plants and facilities as
Discontinued Operations. These included the assets and facilities of Cooper-Standard Automotive, which was sold on Dec. 23, 2004, and the Company’s inner tube operations in
Clarksdale, Mississippi.

R&D data: Research and development expenditures were $23.2 million, $22.1 million and $23.1 million during 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
The Company directs its research activities toward product development, improvements in quality, and operating efficiency. The Company continues to actively develop new light
vehicle tires. The Company conducts extensive testing of current tire lines, as well as new concepts in tire design, construction and materials. During 2007, approximately 58 million
miles of tests were performed on indoor test wheels and in monitored road tests. The Company has a tire and vehicle test track in Texas that assists the Company’s testing effects.
Uniformity equipment is used to physically monitor its manufactured tires for high standards of ride quality. The Company continues to design and develop specialized equipment
to fit the precise needs of its manufacturing and quality control requirements.
Revenue split: Consolidated net sales decreased by $50.8 million in 2008. The decrease in net sales was primarily a result of lower volume, primarily in the North American Tire Operations seg-
ment. Partially offsetting the lower volumes were improved pricing and product mix in both the North American Tire Operations and International Tire Operations segments. The
Company recorded an operating loss in 2008 of $216.6 million compared to an operating profit of $134.4 million in 2007. The favorable impacts of improved pricing and mix, along
with lower incentive-related compensation were offset by lower volumes, higher raw material costs, production curtailment costs, higher products liability costs and a lower of cost
or market inventory adjustment in the International Tire Operations segment.
Strategy: On Dec. 17, 2008, Cooper announced the pending closure of its manufacturing facility in Albany, Georgia. This announcement follows a network capacity study analyzing the
Company’s optimal manufacturing footprint in the United States. The impact on net profit of this closure is estimated to be $150 million to $175 million in restructuring charges,
between
50 and 60 percent of which will be non-cash charges. Annual savings after implementation are estimated at between $75 million and $80 million. A portion of these savings will
begin to materialize in 2009 as production from the plant is moved to other locations.
On Aug. 5, 2008, Cooper announced it has liquidated its investment in Kumho Tire Company. The transaction includes payment of $107 million plus interest from the initial due date
of May 31, 2008. Cooper Tire acquired an 11 percent interest in the common equity of Kumho in early 2005, when Kumho’s initial public offering became available on the Korea and
London stock exchanges.
On June 18, 2008, Cooper announced an agreement to invest in a tire manufacturing facility in Guadalajara, Mexico. The facility will be jointly owned by Cooper, IBSA (a Mexican
holding corporation) and Cooperativa TRADOC S.R.L. (employee owners of the Occidente facility). Cooper ownership in this facility is 38 percent at an investment of $31 million.

http://www.coopertire.com/FI_Uploads/Document/Corporate%20Purchasing%20Contacts.pdf
The Company manages the procurement of its raw materials to assure supply and to obtain the most favorable pricing. For natural rubber and natural gas, procurement is
managed by buying forward of production requirements and utilizing the spot market when advantageous.
For other principal materials, procurement arrangements include supply agreements that may contain formula-based pricing based on commodity indices, multi-year agreements or
spot purchase contracts. These arrangements typically provide quantities necessary to satisfy normal manufacturing demands.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $185.1 million (6.4 percent of net sales) in 2008 compared to $177.5 million (6.1 percent of net sales) in 2007. The increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to higher advertising costs in the International Tire Operations segment and the continued ramp-up of the
Company’s Chinese operations, partially offset by lower incentive-related compensation costs.

Revenue split: Car Electronics operating revenue decreased 22.0% year on year to ¥291,704 million because of lower sales of both car audio products and car navigation
systems, partly due to lackluster auto sales worldwide. In car navigation systems, consumer-market sales declined year on year, mainly due to lower sales in North America,
Japan and Europe. Meanwhile, OEM sales rose on the back of higher sales in Japan and China, despite lower sales in North America. In car audio products, consumer-market sales
decreased, mainly because of lower overseas sales. OEM sales also decreased due to lower sales in Japan and North America. Total OEM sales in this segment accounted for approxi-
mately 41% of Car Electronics operating revenue in fiscal 2009, compared with approximately 39% in fiscal 2008.
In terms of geographic operating revenue, operating revenue in Japan decreased 9.8% to ¥113,985 million, and overseas operating revenue declined 28.2% to ¥177,719 million. This
segment recorded an operating loss of ¥12,337 million in fiscal 2009, compared with operating income of ¥26,101 million in fiscal 2008. This was mainly due to the following factors
in the car audio products business: lower sales, and deterioration in the gross profit margin due to a drop in production volume and the impact of the stronger yen.
Strategy: In fiscal 2010, Pioneer is forecasting consolidated operating revenue of ¥420 billion, a decrease of 24.8% year on year, mainly based on the withdrawal from the display business.
Another factor is projected lower Car Electronics operating revenue, mainly from consumer-market car audio products, in line with falling auto sales. In the Car Electronics business,
in fiscal 2010, Pioneer plans to implement drastic restructuring to build a highly efficient, lean operating structure that can quickly respond to changes in the business environment.
May 7, 2009, Pioneer Corporation announced the Air Navi AVIC-T20, a portable car navigation system that supports a communications module, which allows users to easily enjoy a
wealth of useful driving information contents provided by communications services both prior to and during drive, for the Japanese market.
May 7, 2009, Pioneer Corporation announced its renewed lineup of the HDD-based CYBER NAVI car navigation systems for the Japanese market. The new lineup consists
of three models: The AVIC-VH9900 is a 1-DIN+1-DIN DSP-control AV navigation auto server with built-in 7-inch wide VGA touch-screen monitor. The AVIC-ZH9900 is a 2-DIN
DSP-control AV navigation auto server with a built-in 7-inch wide VGA touch-screen monitor.
Pioneer has been implementing restructuring measures mainly to improve profitability in the display business since 2008. These measures have included termination of inhouse
plasma display panel production and implementation of early retirement programs including personnel in administrative and sales divisions. Overseas, they have started to stream-
line their sales structures and have decided to close plasma display production facilities. Plans call for ending production at its U.S. and U.K. display production facilities in April and
February 2009, respectively. Pioneer expects to complete these restructuring measures within the first half of 2009. Pioneer’s consolidated workforce decreased by approximately
5,900 employees from March 31, 2008 to roughly 36,900 employees as of December 31, 2008. The number of temporary employees also decreased by approximately 4,000 in the
same period.

Company details: Evonik is active in over 100 countries around the world. In its fiscal year 2008 about 41,000 employees generated sales of about €15.9 billion and an operating profit (EBITDA) of
about €2.2 billion. Evonik has production sites in more than 28 countries. The largest sites such as Marl, Wesseling and Rheinfelden (Germany), Antwerp (Belgium),
Mobile (Alabama, USA) and Shanghai (China) have integrated production structures used by various business units.
The Chemicals Business Area bundles Evonik’s global specialty chemicals activities. Evonik is one of the world’s largest and most significant companies in this field, with sales of
approximately €12 billion (2008). More than 80 percent of sales are generated by products where Evonik ranks among the market leaders. Evonik has operated at the heart of the
specialty chemicals industry for many years and systematically strives to improve the quality of its portfolio. Close cooperation with customers is also very important. Such alliances
lead to optimum products and system solutions, often tailored specifically to customers and their market needs. Market-oriented research and development is used to strengthen
Evonik’s innovative ability. Products, processes and applications developed in the past five years account for over 20 percent of sales. Evonik thus has key drivers to ensure profitable
growth in the future.
The Chemicals Business Area comprises six business units: Industrial Chemicals; Inorganic Materials; Consumer Specialties; Health & Nutrition; Coatings and Additives;
Performance Polymers.
Energy Business Area: Evonik’s power and heat generation business and services for power stations are grouped in the Energy Business Area. Its core competencies include planning,
financing, building and operating highly efficient fossil-fueled power plants.
As a grid-independent power generator, Evonik operates coal-fired power plants at nine locations in Germany and refinery power plants at two locations. The Energy Business Area’s
international successes comprise coal-fired power plants in Colombia, Turkey and the Philippines. In each of these countries it works closely with local partners. Further options for
foreign business are under consideration. Installed capacity is roughly 10,000 Megawatts (MW), including around 8,000 MW in Germany. Long-term supply and offtake agreements
with key customers ensure a sustained return on investment and essentially stable revenues. Evonik is well-positioned in the high-growth future market for renewable energies and
is one of the German market leaders in the generation of electricity and heat from mine gas, biomass and geothermal energy. Global engineering services also deepen the Energy
Business Area’s country-specific insight into the energy market, enabling this business area to develop new business ideas for power plant projects.
The Real Estate Business Area manages a portfolio of around 60,000 company-owned residential units concentrated in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) in
Germany. It also has a 50 percent stake in THS, which owns around 75,000 residential units. These are also located predominantly in the federal state of NRW. Evonik is thus one of
Germany’s leading privately owned residential real estate companies. Business focuses on letting homes to private households, which essentially generates regular and stable cash
flows. In addition, active portfolio management involving the selective sale and purchase of residential units is used. The business model is rounded out by property development
activities on company-owned land to upgrade the portfolio. This business area’s regional focus is the key to outstanding market insight and brings considerable advantages in the
management of the housing stock.
Further products made by Evonik: “Power Packs for the Road”; Safer, more compact, and more environmentally friendly. Evonik paves the way for cars with lower CO2 emissions –
with Separion as an important component in more efficient lithium-ion batteries. “Cars Like it Light”; Where economy and ecology go hand in hand: “Green” tires save fuel-and the
environment. “Rubber Goes Green”; Where economy and ecology go hand in hand: “Green” tires save fuel-and the environment. “High Quality Finish Under the Hood”; A brilliant

interior trim materials make for a sophisticated look and soft feel. “Well Connected”; Textiles, leather, and plastics are combined to create a comfortable car seat. Metal sheeting is
adhesive-bonded to make car bodies lighter. High-performance adhesives from Evonik create strong and durable bonds.

Strategy: Evonik has teamed up with Daimler AG to develop batteries for tomorrow’s electric-powered vehicles: The aim of this strategic alliance is to drive forward research, development
and production of battery cells and battery systems based on Evonik’s lithium ion technology. Evonik Group subsidiary Li-Tec is set to make a significant contribution to the success
of this continued development. Li-Tec cells will soon be used also in other Mercedes-Benz cars than the S400 Hybrid, already on sale. In a second step, this battery technology will be
rolled out more widely in the automotive sector and could also be used in trucks, buses and light commercial vehicles. Evonik has invested around €80 million in recent years to gain
a technological edge in this technology. That has led to high-tech battery cells suitable for serial production which are superior to competing products in key respects. Under the new
strategic alliance, Daimler will hold 49.9% of shares in Li-Tec Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH (Li-Tec). Evonik already has a 50.1% stake in this company. Li-Tec, which specializes in the
production of battery cells, uses two key products manufactured by Evonik – Separion and Litarion.

Revenue split: Sales turnover breakdown by fields of expertise: Fluid Transfer Systems: 17%, Sealing Systems: 36%, Vibratory, Acoustic and Thermal Insulation: 20%, Transmission and Mobility:
12%, Protection and Care: 15%.
Sales by markets/segments 2008/2007 respectively: Automotive (62%/61%), Consumer Products (16%/15%), Aerospace & Industry (22%/24%).
Strategy: Despite the very clear drop in consumption seen in most worldwide markets, Hutchinson had its turnover increase by 0.5% in 2008. It was a year of immense contrasts; with initial
growth during the first half of the year, replaced with a global economic downturn in the latter half of the year. The diversity of Hutchinson’s market portfolio managed to weather
the effects of the crisis, such as the very promising increase in turnover recorded in the Industry market which has compensated for the slowdown of the end of the year in the Au-
tomotive industry. Similarly, Hutchinson’s global diversity has proved to be a stabilizing element during this eventful year. While mature markets such as NAFTA and Western Europe
have suffered, markets in more dynamic areas of the world, particularly in South America and Asia, are progressing positively. This is a result of Hutchinson’s investments to develop
its foothold in these emerging markets. Despite some uncertainties linked to the economic market conditions, Hutchinson is continuing to invest in the future and has maintained
an overall amount of 150M€ for Research spending (5% of its turnover). The year 2008 was also a year of major investments: 122M€ was spent on developing the company’s activi-
ties throughout the world, particularly in Asia, South America and North Africa (new installation in Tunisia).

Company details: Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc., headquartered in Novi, Mich., is a leading global automotive supplier specializing in the manufacture and marketing of systems and components
for the automotive industry. Products include body sealing systems, fluid handling systems, and NVH control systems. Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. employs approximately
16,000 employees with more than 70 facilities throughout the world. Cooper-Standard is a privately held portfolio company of The Cypress Group and Goldman Sachs Capital
Partners Funds since the company’s sale from Cooper Tire. The company has two operating divisions: North America and International.
Body & Chassis: Sales increased $205.7 million, or 15.6%, primarily due to the MAPS and MAP India acquisitions, favorable foreign exchange ($39.5 million), partially offset by
lower sales volume. Segment profit decreased by $50.9 million as the result of lower sales volume, unfavorable sales mix, higher raw material costs and impairment charges of $5.2
million, partially offset by the acquisition of MAPS and MAP India.
Fluid: Sales decreased $117.3 million, or 10.7%, primarily due to lower sales volume, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange ($34.1 million). Segment profit increased by $88.4
million as the result of impairment charges related to goodwill ($21.9 million), intangible assets ($2.3 million) and fixed assets ($4.1 million), compared to 2007 impairment charges
of ($146.4 million) and the favorable impact of various cost saving initiatives. These favorable items were partially offset by reduced volumes, unfavorable sales mix, increased mate-
rial costs and unfavorable foreign exchange.
Asia Pacific: Sales decreased $4.9 million, or 5.1%, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange ($3.0 million) and lower sales volume. Segment loss increased by $11.6 million as a
result of increased restructuring costs related to the previously announced restructuring initiative in Australia and as a result of start-up related costs for operations in this region.

Revenue split: Sales by segment: Fluid systems 39.4%, Sealing systems 52.1%, and NVH 8.5%
Strategy: On March 26, 2009 the company announced the reorganization of its operating and reporting structures by discontinuing the product line operating divisions and establishing
new geographic operating and reporting units. The company will operate from two divisions – North America and International (which includes Europe, Asia and South America).
This new approach enables the company to consolidate sales, engineering, operations and administrative activities, and provide unified customer contact points, while maintaining
its full portfolio of global products.
Cooper-Standard Automotive has undertaken a number of initiatives, and will be implementing additional measures, to reduce its cost and operating structures in order to position
the Company to operate successfully under the difficult macroeconomic and industry conditions that adversely impacted the company during the second half of 2008 and are likely
to persist to a degree, and over a period of time, that is difficult to predict. At the same time, Cooper-Standard Automotive intends to solidify its position as one of the world’s
leading automotive suppliers of body sealing, noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) control, and fluid handling components and systems.

Strategy: Decentralization: ITW operate a collection of business units and brands across diverse worldwide end markets. Their decentralized operating strategy and focus place their busi-
nesses close to the people who buy their products. This familiarity results in entrepreneurial sales and support activities, where they can quickly identify and respond to customer
needs at the business unit level by providing original, customized products and service. Another advantage of diversification is that it allows ITW to overcome market uncertainties.
Strength in one market helps offset fluctuations in another. When assets are used efficiently (thanks to their 80/20 process) across a broad mix of markets, risk is reduced and they
optimize their ability to produce improved financial results and shareholder returns.

In spite of the economic decline during the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter in particular, Mann+Hummel recorded an increase in sales, to 1,825 million EUR in the fiscal
year 2008 (previous year: 1,750 million EUR).
Automotive OEM: It was possible to maintain sales in the Automotive OEM Division at the previous year’s level, but sales trends varied diversely in the different markets. The con-
sequences of the economic and financial crisis were not really apparent in Europe until the fourth quarter of the year, whilst M+H’s North American companies had been seriously
affected since the beginning of the year, due to the problems with their US customers, and reported a sharp decline in sales. At the same time, however, Mann+Hummel continued
to push ahead with preparations for future projects, and both in Europe and North America they successfully introduced new products, for example compact air filters and
blow-moulded parts, applying new technologies.
Particular attention was also focused on further development of the product portfolio. With its innovative materials and system solutions, the company meets the most demanding
requirements to optimise the cost and weight of modern engine components. The range of second generation fully-plastic oil modules, for example, has been consistently extended.
In the air intake area too, new air filters and air duct systems are now being produced which meet the highest specifications regarding installation space, connection techniques,
acoustics, high-temperature resistance and design, combined with very low pressure loss.
Positive trends were also recorded in Asia. In the air intake systems sector, serial production commenced in India and Korea, and in China further expansion of business in the air
intake systems and commercial vehicle sectors was achieved. The first air filter system developed by Mann+Hummel for a global project awarded by an international customer was
also launched in Korea. Acquisition of a 100 % holding in the Korean filter specialist Joint Venture Dongwoo also made a substantial contribution to the positive sales trends in Asia.
Through the new company Mann+Hummel Dongwoo Co. Ltd., Wonju/South Korea, the company aims to establish direct contacts with the Korean customers Hyundai, Kia and
Mobis and generates sales with their overseas plants in China, India, USA and Eastern Europe. What is more, Mann+Hummel has taken a further decisive step towards its objective,
to be one of the top five suppliers in its industry in Asia.
Strategy: The Mann+Hummel Group is a development partner and original equipment supplier to the international automotive and mechanical engineering industries.
Innovative products, optimum quality in all areas, strict cost-cutting and the tremendous commitment of the entire Mann+Hummel team will ensure that Mann+Hummel
continues to be one of the leading companies in our industry.
August 2008 Mann+Hummel took over the Korean company Dongwoo. Dongwoo is the market leader for automotive filters in Korea and was previously a Joint Venture of the
international Mann+Hummel Group.
29th September 2008, Mann+Hummel sold its US subsidiary, Universal Dynamics Inc. in Woodbridge, Virginia, to the Italian company Piovan. Closing is due to take place on
10th October.
November 2008 Representative offices were opened in Indonesia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines.
Outlook: The automotive industry has been particularly seriously affected by the financial and economic crisis. The consequences were already apparent in 2008 through declining
passenger car sales worldwide. It is at present difficult to estimate when there will be any sustained economic recovery. It is, however, assumed that the negative trend will continue
in the coming months. Mann+Hummel is in good shape to tackle this economic crisis, and promptly adapts planning to suit the current situation. Attention is focused on optimising
costs through continuous process improvement, organising purchasing on a global basis and efficient utilisation of materials. Measures such as strict cost management and the
introduction of short-time working in production and the overhead departments were taken without delay. This adjustment extends to the management too, who are playing their
part by foregoing part of their remuneration. Production and staffing levels at each site are adapted, according to demand, checked and controlled as appropriate. Through effective
innovation management and focused diversification, Mann+Hummel is preparing for renewed growth in the medium term.

http://www.mann-hummel.com/purchasing/index.html?iKeys=51.1.1192.1.1
The total purchasing volume of the Mann+Hummel Group, which rose by 12 % in fiscal year 2008, amounted to 1,234 million EUR. It is subdivided into 67 % production material and
33 % trading goods and non-production material. This increase could be attributed primarily to the growth in sales and the higher material ratio.

Ambitious Goals Within the Next Years: The international supplier to the automobile industry has been a family business since its foundation 100 years ago. Since 1990,
the company has been separately owned and controlled. With millions annually invested in research and development, Webasto is able to put innovative products into serial produc-
tion, thus bringing international competitive advantages to vehicle manufacturers. As a Total Process Partner (ToPP), the company offers manufacturers the benefit of its know-how
across the entire value-added chain of its products – from market research through development and production to marketing. To continue setting the pace in international
competition rather than just keeping up with it, the company fosters good multicultural relations among staff at all levels. Trips abroad are thoroughly prepared and are encouraged.
All customers have their own contact at the company, who reports directly to the managing board. The company management continually monitors and improves all processes that
have a bearing on securing and increasing profitability.
Webasto has developed a presence in all major markets over a number of decades and has achieved market access through a series of strategic joint ventures. Customers are
convinced by local experts and quality products. For every task it is given, Webasto either has a solution attuned to the market or develops one with the manufacturer. Both business
groups Convertible, Roof and Body and Global Comfort Solutions will be developed further. Every successful company needs an appropriate product, customer and market structure.
Therefore, Webasto shaped an organisational structure which helps the company to achieve significant efficiencies.

At the start of 2008, the Group faced continuing headwinds in a number of its end markets. As a result, management launched Project Eagle, which was an acceleration of the
group’s existing restructuring initiatives to address cost base, improve its competitiveness and increase its operating margins. Project Eagle is a three-year programme that builds on
existing initiatives and should provide the opportunity to capture approximately $100 million of annual performance improvements by the end of 2010. This initiative remains on
track, with a number of projects completed in 2008 such as the closure of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, further rationalisation of the Lasco Bathware business in the US and the
closure of Hart & Cooley’s production facility at Tucson, Arizona. A total of eight facilities were closed under these initiatives, mainly in North America, with headcount reduced by
around 3,500.
During 2008, Tomkins Plc. completed the sale of Stant and Standard-Thomson. They have now substantially completed the divestment of their non-core businesses,

Company details: Stanley Electric Co., Ltd., was established in 1920 by Mr. Takaharu Kitano. Under the circumstances, it certainly took courage, vision, and a challenging spirit to start a company
devoted to the manufacturing of automotive light bulbs. The company was named after the intrepid 19th-century explorer Sir Henry Morton Stanley, who was renowned for the
vision and courage he had so abundantly demonstrated during his exploits on the continent of Africa.
In the field of automotive equipment, the driving force of the company’s development, Stanley has always led the industry, developed and supplied highly reliable products and con-
tributed to a safe and rich “automotive lifestyle.” From an early stage the company began to research and develop HID lamps, attracting attention as a next-generation light source
for headlamps, which resulted in the initial application of Stanley’s headlamps for Japanese cars. Taking advantage of its unique optical design and simulation technologies, Stanley
developed “MR (Multi-Reflector) headlamps” whose reflectors have a built-in “light distribution function” and “free ellipsoidal reflector headlamps,” expanding the horizon of auto-
mobile design, serving as the pioneer of current trends. Furthermore, Stanley has started paying attention to the potential of ultra high brightness light emitting diodes (LED’s) as a
light source for automobiles from their early stage and commercialized “LED high-mount stop lamps,” which are highly effective for the prevention of rear-end collisions with other
cars in addition to “LED rear combination lamps.” Stanley is a leading manufacturer of electronic devices, in particular optical devices. Light emitting diodes (LEDs,) backlighting units
for LCDs and LCDs, are all indispensable parts for the field of information and communications.
Regarding electronic components, Stanley Electric has been successful in the research and development of value-added products such as semiconductors, parts for information/
communications devices, and of course lighting devices.
Automotive market As a pioneer of automotive bulbs, the company has continued to contribute to society by developing and offering a wide range of new equipment.

Main automotive E.g. Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Suzuki, Toyota
customers:
R&D data: Total research and development costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were 4,087 Mio JPY and 4,731 Mio JPY,
respectively.
Revenue split: Automotive Equipment Business, 73.6 % of total sales 2008/2009: Global auto production was generally slack as automakers were left with no option but to curtail output against
the background of the U.S.-originated global financial crisis. Under these circumstances, sales of automotive equipment by the Stanley Electric Group decreased in the consolidated
business year ended in March. As a result, sales in the automotive equipment business were ¥208,497 million in the consolidated business year under review, down 15.3% from the
preceding year. Operating income for the year amounted to ¥18,339 million, down 30.7%
Electronic Equipment Business, 26.3% of total sales 2008/2009: The global electronic equipment market was sluggish as production of digital still cameras (DSC), flat panel display
(FPD) TVs, lap top computers and cellular phones decreased worldwide due to the need to make inventory adjustment amid slack personal consumption.
Under these market conditions, the electronic equipment business of the Stanley Electric Group saw sales decline. The Group attempted to win larger orders by launching new
products. But such efforts were more than offset by the negative impact of the rapid deterioration of market conditions. Consequently, net sales in the Group’s electronic equipment
business totaled ¥74,511 million in the year under review, down 31.0% from the previous year. Operating income came to ¥4,926 million, down 69.4%.
Other business: Total sales in other businesses were ¥293 million (up 1.5% year-on-year).
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, consolidated net sales decreased by 20.1% to ¥283,302 million. Cost of sales (COS) decreased by 16.8% to ¥226,035 million.
Gross profit on sales decreased by 30.7% to ¥57,267 million.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 6.1% to ¥33,875 million. As a result, operating income decreased by 49.8% to ¥23,392 million.
Income before income taxes and minority interest amounted to ¥22,075 million. After deducting income taxes of ¥7,281 million and minority interest of ¥2,666 million,
Stanley Electric Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries posted a net income of ¥12,128 million. Cash dividends declared for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 were ¥30.0 per share,
unchanged from the previous fiscal year.
Strategy: Stanley Electric’s headlamps and rear combination lamps do more than ensure safety for the driver and passengers. They answer the demand for beautiful styling. In particular,
MR headlamps and flexible curved-surface headlamps, which mirror the full spectrum of optical technologies, have generated considerable acclaim for Stanley Electric’s innovative
contributions to automotive design. Stanley Electric was early in commercializing outstanding, value-added products, including high-intensity discharge (HID) products widely
used as an automobile headlamp light source, adaptive front-lighting system (AFS), Night Vision, etc.
Stanley Electric, thanks to its cutting-edge research and development, has created an extensive lineup of lighting devices and applications for use in mobile devices and office
equipment and industry and urban infrastructures, contributing to the creation of a better way of life. The Company’s value-added products include light-emitting diodes,
LCD elements, and cold cathode fluorescent lamps.
