The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a sharp downturn in virtually all major economies. Since March 2020, the Volkswagen Group and its brands have reacted to the pandemic determinedly and taken measures to cushion the impact as best as possible. With the number of new cases falling, the automotive business then began to stabilize again in the second half of the year, not least on the important Chinese market. In consequence, this pleasing development led to Porsche SE recording a positive group result after tax of around 2.6 billion euro for the fiscal year 2020, despite conditions remaining difficult overall. This result was significantly influenced by the result from our investment accounted for at equity in Volkswagen AG of 2.7 billion euro, after 4.4 billion euro in the prior year. Net liquidity of the Porsche SE Group amounted to 563 million euro as of 31 December 2020, compared to 553 million euro as of year-end 2019. Regardless of the Covid-19 pandemic, the automotive industry is undergoing a fundamental change that has accelerated even more this past fiscal year. In light of this, the Volkswagen Group is planning to invest around 73 billion euro in electromobility, hybridization and digitalization over the next five years, thus pushing ahead with its transformation into a technology group. We at Porsche SE support this strategy and are confident that the market value of the Volkswagen Group will increase in the medium to long term. Our subsidiary PTV AG is continuing to push ahead with its strategic development. The modernization of the product portfolio and cloud-based solutions are opening up promising growth perspectives in light of the accelerated digitalization of mobility. Although revenue decreased in the fiscal year 2020 as a result of the pandemic, a positive operating result on a par with the prior year was generated. This is proof that the substantial measures taken by the board of management to improve profitability are working. A positive development is also shown in our venture capital investments. Indeed, the two US companies AEVA and Markforged have announced IPOs as of the end of the first and third quarters of 2021, respectively. In August 2020, Porsche SE invested in the Israeli software company Aurora Labs. The technology from Aurora Labs enables efficient and secure software updates for vehicles via a radio interface and will thus save a considerable amount of time, data volume and cost. 8 To our shareholders Group management report Financials Letter to our shareholders 9 Hans Dieter Pötsch Chairman of the board of management On the legal side, there was little movement in the fiscal year 2020. Most of the scheduled hearings did not take place due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Following a ruling handed down by the Federal Court of Justice, the Higher Regional Court of Stuttgart appointed a model case plaintiff for a case according to the Capital Markets Model Case Act (KapMuG) in October 2020. We are convinced that the lawsuits brought against Porsche SE are without merit and partially also inadmissible. For the fiscal year 2021, we expect a recovery in important automobile markets provided that efforts to sustainably curb the Covid-19 pandemic are successful. On this basis, Porsche SE expects a group result after tax of between 2.6 billion euro and 4.1 billion euro. This is mainly attributable to the result of the Volkswagen Group. Net liquidity in the Porsche SE Group is expected to range between 0.4 billion euro and 0.9 billion euro as of 31 December 2021, not taking into account future investments. For the past fiscal year 2020, the board of management and supervisory board propose that a dividend of 2.21 euro per share be distributed to the holders of preference shares and of 2.204 euro per share to the holders of ordinary shares. The resulting payout of around 676 million euro is on a par with the prior-year amount. An additional encouraging piece of news for our shareholders is that Porsche SE has been admitted to the MDAX as announced by Deutsche Börse at the beginning of March 2021. Admission to the index could result in an increase in the liquidity in our shares, driven for instance by increased demand of index-oriented investors and funds. We are convinced more than ever that Volkswagen AG will successfully help shape the transformation of the automotive industry and that Porsche SE will benefit from this. We continue to count on your trust and your support on this journey.
