By 2030, we will converge towards neutrality for our controlled emissions (scope 3 excluding emissions of vehicles equipped with Faurecia products). I am particularly pleased that our CO2 neutral trajectory was recently approved by the SBTi (see p.30). Through this program we want to both reduce our environmental impact and create long-term value across our entire supply chain. —> Agility and resilience strengthened in 2020 Obviously 2020 was an exceptional year with the pandemic and ensuing Our strong focus on Total economic crisis.

  • FCA-PSA Merger
    Alert FCA-PSA Merger 1 November 2019 Executive Summary • Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Groupe PSA have announced that they are working together towards creating one of the world’s largest automotive groups, with the aim of reaching a binding agreement in coming weeks. • The new entity would see global scale and resources owned 50% by Groupe PSA shareholders and 50% by FCA shareholders, with Carlos Tavares the merged group’s CEO. • This news follows on from the breakdown in merger discussions between FCA and Renault earlier this year. • LMC Automotive believes that there is a strong business case for such a consolidation; this latest merger announcement once again highlighting the cost pressures faced by the industry. • The high R&D expenditure relating to platform development, electrification, and other technologies, is expected to remain a drag on industry profitability over the course of the next decade, and further consolidation is likely. • A combined FCA-PSA group would become the fourth-largest OEM globally, with an annual production volume exceeding 8 million Light Vehicles per year. On that basis, it would surpass Hyundai Group, General Motors, Ford and Honda. • In Europe, the new group would challenge Volkswagen Group as the region’s number one OEM in sales volumes terms; however, in the world’s single largest vehicle market, China, FCA and PSA have both struggled to gain a footing, which this tie-up would not readily resolve. • Assuming a binding agreement is reached to create a new automotive giant, there remain significant execution risks associated with combining two sizeable entities. © 2019 LMC Automotive Limited, All Rights Reserved.

  • PSA to Boost Its FY18 Dividend 50%, Renault Dividend Yield at a Five-Year High Tuesday, October 2Nd 2018
    PSA to boost its FY18 dividend 50%, Renault dividend yield at a five-year high Tuesday, October 2nd 2018 PSA and Renault posted strong 1H18 results and confirmed their 2018 outlook unlike some other European carmakers • We expect PSA to boost its FY18 dividend by 50% • Renault forecast dividend yield is at a five-year high • We project dividends from French carmakers to grow CAGR 12% over next four years vs. 6% for the three German carmakers. European automobiles stocks have been under pressure over recent months against the backdrop of escalating international trade tensions. While the Stoxx Europe 600 is down 2% Year-To-Date (YTD), its automobiles sector sub-index is dropping 13% YTD. In France, Renault’s share price is down 12% YTD, but PSA is up 32%, after a sharp price increase following 1H18 results release. Despite challenges such as the global trade conflicts, the new emissions regulation known as WLTP, the currency volatility in emerging markets and the pulling-out of the Iranian market due to US sanctions, PSA and Renault confirmed their 2018 outlook at 1H18 amid strong results, while some other European carmakers revised their outlook downwards. Post 1H18 results, we have revised our dividend estimates upwards for PSA and now forecast the company to increase its dividend by 50% in FY18. While we expect a 7% dividend growth for Renault, our forecast dividend yield of 5.1% stands at a five-year high compared to 3.5% for PSA. Over the next four years, we forecast aggregate dividend estimates from the two French carmakers to increase CAGR 12% vs.
