2022E 2023E 2024E 2025E We expect OEMs to launch 240 new models during our forecast period (MY2022-25), or an average of 60 per year. Typically, this level of new model introductions is a positive sign for the industry, which we believe is the case as the cycle recovers from the COVID-induced trough in MY2021 (CY2020). However, many incumbent and entrant automakers appear to be chasing the same hot segments of the market.

2022E 2023E 2024E 2025E

Between model years 2002 and 2021, the industry replaced about 16% of its volume each year with new models. Over the next four model years, we expect the annual replacement rate of industry volume will trend at about 21%, above the historical average level, which partially reflects the relatively low volume base in 2020 to which it is measured.

Competitive pressures, newer entrants, product line expansion, and product cancellations will help keep the industry’s average showroom age relatively fresh over our forecast period. Specifically, we estimate that average age for the next three years will tick up just slightly, before dropping once again in MY2025, but overall averaging around the historical level at 3.1 years.

2023E 2025E Automakers are aggressively pursuing the Crossover segment, particularly at the premium price point. This industry overweight will likely pressure the segment’s profitability in the next few years.

The dispersion in product replacement rates among OEMs over the next four model years is the widest that it has been in recent history. The delta in the spread of cumulative replacement rates among OEMs is 57% from the high end (Honda) to the low end (GM). For comparison, this disparity is about 3x what it has been in recent years.

Average age in the industry continues to converge around the 3 year range, with only slight outliers on either side, which is largely a function of disparities in product cadence. By the end of our forecast period (MY2025), the biggest outliers include Toyota (1.5yrs) and Honda (2.0yrs) at the low end and GM (4.0yrs) and Stellantis (3.7yrs) at the high end.

Over the next four model years, there is a relatively wide dispersion of OEM replacement rates. This appears to be due to differences in product investment towards traditional models versus alternative powertrain development. There is theoretically some market share opportunity at Honda and Toyota, and conversely risk at GM and Stellantis.

Over our forecast period, it appears that GM and VW are pushing the most aggressively into EVs, with a slew of standalone models launching over MY2022-25, although others are not far behind. In addition to many standalone electric models, many OEMs have focused on introducing varying levels of hybridization/electrification across existing nameplates. A number of startup EV automakers (, Lucid, Fisker, Lordstown, , etc.) are also expected to launch new products over our forecast period.

Source: BofA Global Research Future Car Wars 19 Ten key conclusions 1. Product activity is increasingly varied among OEMs and relative gaps are opening again. The range of strategies span OEMs with product pipelines focused on traditional high-volume models to OEMs focused on lower-volume electric vehicles.

2. Replacement rates appear elevated versus historical levels due to the low volume base of 2020, although product activity is generally still strong.

3. New model mix is 72% CUVs and Light Trucks and 28% Small/Mid/Large/Luxury Cars, with a still significant overweight towards CUVs (52%), which creates risk.

4. Our lower average showroom age estimates are partially a result of an elevated level of product cancellations by OEMs, particularly in the passenger car segment.

5. In terms of traditional replacement rate, the best positioned OEMs appear to be Honda and Toyota, by our estimates. However, GM (and to a lesser extent VW) appear well positioned with regard to powertrain investment and EV introductions.

6. The Three (or Two now) all lag the industry replacement rate, but Ford is slightly ahead on a reaccelerated product cadence, GM behind due to lower-volume EV launches, and Stellantis (former FCA) in the middle after a few hot launch years.

7. The Japanese OEMs each have a somewhat volatile product cadence over MY2022-25, and with differentiated segment focus relative to the rest of the industry. Honda and Toyota lead the industry in cumulative replacement rate, while Nissan lags.

8. Hyundai’s and ’s replacement rates are a bit behind the industry average, but accelerate through each year of our forecast period. The duo’s model launch mix is overweight Small Cars and CUVs versus the industry.

9. European OEMs’ total replacement rate is just below the industry average, with Daimler above, VW more in line, and BMW below. Product launches are dominated by the Luxury & Sporty Car and CUV segments, as well alternative powertrains.

10. A litany of start-up EV automakers have emerged with product targeted to launch over our forecast period, but a fierce competitive environment may limit success.

24 Price Objective Basis and Risk

Nissan Motor (7201 / NSANF / NSANY) Our 12-month PO for Nissan is ¥700 (USD13.03/ADR). We apply a fair-value EV/EBITDA multiple of 2.0x, derived from the average EV/EBITDA of 1.9x for FY3/18-FY3/19 and the addition of a new +5% electrification premium to our FY3/23 EBITDA (ex finance biz) forecast of ¥453.3bn, and then add back the financial services equity capital of ¥1.62trn discounted by 10% (thus ¥1.46trn). Downside risks are deterioration in the alliance relationship with and unfavorable forex fluctuations, a prolonged semiconductor shortage, and an increase in material costs. Toyota Motor (7203 / TOYOF / TM) Our 12-month PO for Toyota is ¥10,500 (USD191.20/ADR). We apply fair-value industrial EV/EBITDA (excl. financial services) of 3.9x derived from FY3/17-FY3/19 average to FY3/23 industrial EBITDA of ¥4.07trn to give fair-value industrial market cap. We add back financial business shareholders' equity of ¥4.1trn to derive companywide market cap. Risks are rapid forex changes, and a possibility that wholesale sales may be affected if the impact of the February earthquake is prolonged and the extent of reduction in production volume is large, Honda Motor (7267 / HNDAF / HMC) Our 12-month PO for Honda Motor is ¥3,900 (ADR: US$36.42). We applied a fair-value EV/EBITDA of 1.0x, derived from FY3/18-20 average EV/EBITDA (ex. financial services) of 1.05x and electrification discount of -5%. Multiplying that by FY3/23E EBITDA (ex financial services) gives fair-value EBITDA of ¥1.27trn. We add back financial services shareholders' equity (¥2.9trn) after applying 8% discount (thus ¥2.7trn) to calculate overall fair market cap. The speed of US recovery in demand is a risk. Canoo (GOEV) Our price objective of $6 is based on an EV/Sales multiple of 0.3x on our 2025 estimates, which is consistent with an EV/EBITDA multiple of roughly 6x. These multiples are: 1) a discount to TSLA's early EV/Sales multiple, but a premium on an EV/EBITDA, both measured on a rolling forward five year basis. 2) about in line with an average of multiples we use to value GOEV's closest peers - FSR and RIDE, but 3) a discount to the trading range of multiples from the start-up EV and traditional OEM universe. Upside risks: 1) significant and better than expected customer traction for introduced/unveiled products, 2) successful execution of go-to-market strategy across B2B and B2C markets, 3) successful execution of insourced and outsourced manufacturing processes, 4) breakthrough in advanced battery technology to drive ICE/EV parity, 5) incremental government/regulatory support/stimulus for EV market. Downside risks: 1) inability to continue to raise low cost capital to fund business ventures, 2) inability to convert applications for subscription or orders/reservations into vehicle sales, 3) inability to execute a successful go-to-market strategy across B2B and B2C markets, 4) inability to reach sustainable positive EBITDA/FCF, 5) significant future change in company strategy and business model. Daimler (XQEJF / DDAIF) Our price objective of €94 ($114.83 ADR) is based on our sum-of-the-parts analysis. We base our valuation on the years 2021-23e. We value Daimler based on EV/Sales, EV/EBIT and P/E and use the average to arrive at our price objective. For MB cars and Vans we assign EV/Sales of 0.25x and EV/EBIT of 2.5x, which is broadly in line with the German peer's LV divisions, whereas for Daimler Trucks and we assign EV/Sales of c0.6x and EV/EBIT of 5.3x, equivalent to c50% discount to the peer due to the margin differential. Overall, we assign a (clean) P/E of 8.0x at group level, which compares against the 10y avg of 8.6x and the 3y avg. of 7.1x. Upside risks: 1) Usual market demand related upside risk, 2) Overestimation of negative impact from Coronavirus, 3) Underestimation of Daimler's ability to offset rising Co2 content costs through efficiency gains and pricing. 25 Price Objective Basis and Risk

Downside risks: 1) Usual market demand related downside risk, 2) Underestimation of impact from Coronavirus, 3) Unexpected FX and raw material price changes, 4) Overestimation of Daimler's ability to offset rising Co2 content costs through efficiency gains and pricing, 5) Risk of missing CO2 targets in the EU (or ), particularly more if launch of upcoming EV models is delayed 6) Ongoing legal proceedings regarding the diesel issue could result in higher fines and damage claims lower/higher than we forecast. Fisker (FSR) Our price objective of $27 is based on an EV/Sales multiple of 0.6x on our 2025 estimates, which is consistent with an EV/EBITDA multiple of roughly 6x. These multiples are: 1) broadly in line with TSLA's early trading multiples (measured on a rolling forward five-year basis), 2) a premium to the multiples we use to value FSR's closest peers - RIDE and GOEV, due to its better business model, and 3) somewhat in line with the current trading range of multiples from the start-up EV and traditional OEM universe we deem as FSR's peer group. Downside risks: 1) inability to continue to raise low cost capital to fund business ventures, 2) inability to convert paid reservations or account registrations into vehicle sales, 3) slower than expected progress by contract manufacturer towards start of production and lack of success in production ramp, 4) flexible leasing program could result in substantial operational/financial hiccups, 5) inability to reach sustainable positive EBITDA/FCF. Upside risks: 1) significant and better than expected customer traction for introduced/unveiled products, 2) successful execution of go-to-market strategy via purchase and flexible lease offering, 3) better than expected progress by contract manufacturer towards start of production and success in production ramp, 4) breakthrough in advanced battery technology to drive ICE/EV parity, 5) incremental government/regulatory support/stimulus for EV market. Ford Motor (F) Our price objective of $17 is based on an EV/EBITDAP multiple (EV/EBITDA adjusted for pension) of roughly 5x on a blended average of our 2021 and 2022 estimates. This valuation methodology reflects a multiple towards the higher end of, but still within, Ford's historical range (3-6x), which we believe is warranted as the company is on the verge of executing something analogous to our Core to Future transition framework, by which it will strengthen its core business pillars to fund its future business. Downside risks: 1) a more swift and/or material downturn in US auto sales, 2) a sharp and sustained rise in input costs, 3) disruption in the supply base, 4) significant increase in gas prices, 5) new vehicle pricing deteriorates, 6) market share losses pressure results, 7) unwillingness of dealers to shoulder inventory risk, 8) suppliers gain significant pricing power, 9) stress in capital markets makes borrowing more expensive, 10) Incremental execution risk as management ramps up. Upside risks: 1) continued strength in US auto cycle, 2) growth in China remains robust, which Ford is able to leverage with product launches, 3) mix and pricing remain favorable, 4) capital allocation is directed towards shareholder returns (special dividend, etc.). General Motors Company (GM) Our price objective of $80 is based on an EV/EBITDAP multiple of roughly 6x on a blended average of our 2021 & 2022 estimates, which is at the higher end, but still in line with, the company's historical range. We believe a valuation multiple at the higher end of the range (3x-6x) is deserved because the core business is being well managed even amidst a fading US/NA cycle, while the accelerating focus on future-proofing the business with the development of the necessary components of the future of mobility services, including an autonomous fleet (Cruise Automation + Bolts), car sharing (Maven), and connectivity (OnStar), may provide upside. Downside risks: 1) a more swift and/or material downturn in US auto sales, 2) a sharp and sustained rise in input costs, 3) disruption in the supply base, 4) significant increase in gas prices, 5) new vehicle pricing deteriorates, 6) market share losses pressure results, 7) unwillingness of dealers to shoulder inventory risk, 8) suppliers gain significant pricing power, 9) stress in capital markets makes borrowing more expensive, 10) key members of management leave. Upside risks: 1) continued strength in US auto cycle, 2) growth in China remains robust, which benefits GM through its established market position, 3) mix and pricing remain favorable, 4) capital allocation is directed towards shareholder returns (share repurchases, etc.). 26 Price Objective Basis and Risk

Hyundai Motor Company (HYMLF) We use SOTP valuation to derive our PO of W330,000. We add (1) Operating Value, and (2) Investment asset value to estimate HMC's Enterprise value. For its operating value, we separately value its Internal combustion engine (ICE) business unit and Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) business units. For ICE, we take the average value derived from 3.5x 2021E EV/EBITDA and 0.4x 2021E EV/EBITDA, which respectively correspond to global peers' average. For its BEV business, our target multiple is 4.5x 2021E EV/Sales, which corresponds to Tesla/Nio's historical average valuation level. For HMC's investment asset value, we take 30% discount to its current key shareholding, and for its net cash position, we apply 10% discount. The upside risks to our price objective are (1) turnaround of global automotive demand post COVID-19 normalization, (2) stronger penetration into luxury market with Genesis, (3) stronger market share gain in BEV market, and (4) favorable shareholder policies and advanced corporate governance during potential ownership structure change. The downside risks to our price objective are: (1) more severe real economy impact from COVID-19, (2) prolonged deterioration in China operations, Kia Corp (KIMTF) Our PO is W124,000. We conduct SOTP valuation to derive our PO. We aggregate (1) Kia's operating value, and (2) investment asset value to derive enterprise value. For Kia's operating value, we value its Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) business unit and Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) business unit separately. We take the average of 3.3x 2021E EV/EBITDA and 0.4x 2021E EV/Sales to derive Kia's ICE business unit value. Our target multiple corresponds to global peers' average. For Kia's BEV business unit value, we apply 3.2x 2021E EV/Sales, which is 30% discount to historical average of Nio and Tesla's valuation (4.5x). Our discounts reflect the fact that BEV with OTA features will be launched later than HMC. We value Kia's investment asset value at 30% discount, and net cash at 10% discount. Upside/downside risks to our PO are: (1) stronger/slower sales recovery in major markets, (2) favorable/unfavorable shareholder policies, (3) faster/slower-than-expected NEV sales volume growth, and (4) improved/weakened corporate governance. Porsche Automobil Holding SE (POAHF) Our price objective of €108 is based on SOTP analysis. Because Porsche SE is a holding company, valuation can only be carried out on a SOTP basis in our view. We value Porsche's net assets at €50.2bn which includes i) €49.6bn of stake in VW, arrived as a product of VW ordinary share's PO of €317 and number of shares held by Porsche, and ii) net cash of around €0.6bn. We then apply Hold Co discount of 34% to Porsche's net asset value, broadly inline with historical average. Upside risks, In terms of its holding in VW 1) usual market demand related upside risk, 2) Overestimation of negative impact from Coronavirus, 3) Unexpected FX and raw material price changes, 4) underestimation of VW's ability to offset rising Co2 content costs through restructuring and pricing Downside risks to our price objective would be a successful appeal by shareholders in the outstanding litigation. In terms of its holding in VW 1) usual market demand related downside risk, 2) Underestimation of impact from Coronavirus, 3) Unexpected FX and raw material price changes, 4) Overestimation of VW's ability to offset rising Co2 content costs, 5) Risk of missing CO2 targets in the EU (or China), particularly more if launch of upcoming EV models is delayed. Stellantis NV (XFYKF / STLA) Our PO of €19 (USD22.81) is derived by 1) FCA standalone fair value of c€33bn and 2) PSA standalone fair value c€28bn. FCA's & PSA's standalone fair values are derived using a multiples-driven SOTP, based on the avg of our 2021-22e estimates. For FCA's NAFTA division, we assign EV/sales and EV/EBIT of 25% and 2.5x, a premium to other mass market divisions, to account for the higher profitability of NAFTA. By contrast, we assign 10% EV/Sales, 1.0x EV/EBIT to the EMEA core auto business (i.e. ex JVs) and APAC business, as we expect profitability of these divisions to remain very pressured. We value PSA's automotive business at EV/Sales of 15% and EV/adj. EBIT of 1.5x, between Renault Automotive and VW's mass market business. Overall, we assign PE of 6.0x to the FCA & PSA group in our respective standalone fair value calculations. 27 Price Objective Basis and Risk

Upside risks: 1) Sales & pricing are better than expected, implying increasing Co2 content costs would be better compensated, 2) Unexpected FX and raw material price changes 3) Realization of better than expected synergies from the combination Downside risks: 1) Sales & pricing are worse than expected, 2) Unexpected FX & raw material price changes 3) Realization of lower than expected synergies from the combination, 4) failure of cultural integration post-merger Tesla Motors (TSLA) Our $700 PO is based on 15x EV/Sales and 89x EV/EBITDA on our 2021-2022 estimates and a PEG of 2.5x on capital-induced growth through 2025E. Our new valuation framework follows five key steps: 1) What the current stock price affords to TSLA in incremental plants/units. 2) What the incremental units translates into in incremental revenue/profits. 3) What the incremental revenue/profits translates into in terms of multiples on theoretical pro-forma 2025 metrics. 4) A slight premium to these multiple is ascribed for TSLA's track record of growth, consistent capital raises, and overall investor hype. 5) Assuming a negligible discount rate, these multiples are stacked up against TSLA's comp set and historical multiples. Downside risks: 1) inability to continue raising low-cost capital to fund business ventures, 2) inability to generate positive earnings/FCF, 3) slower ramp in electric vehicle demand, 4) setbacks or lack of advancements in battery technology, 5) fierce competition from incumbent OEMs, 6) inability to execute efficiently with higher volume, 7) low gasoline prices, and 8) loss of management. Upside risks: 1) better execution and cost containment, 2) a sharp/sustained rise in gasoline prices, 3) a breakthrough in advanced battery technology, 4) increase in federal or state incentives, 5) short covering. Volkswagen AG (VLKAF / VWAGY) Our price objective of €317 (VW Ords)/ USD37.94 (ADRs) is based on our SOTP analysis. We base our valuation on the recovery years 2021-23e. We value VW based on EV/Sales, EV/EBIT and PE and use the average to arrive at our price objective. We assign EV/sales of 0.25x & EV/EBIT of 2.5x to VW's mass market business (VW passenger car, Skoda, SEAT, VW CV). EV/Sales of 0.25x & EV/EBIT of 2.5x to . This is broadly in line with LV division multiples of German peers BMW and Daimler's LV division. Whereas to Porsche and , we assign EV/sales of 2.0x and 1.0x respectively and EV/EBIT of 15.0x and 7.5x, a premium over other divisions due to their margin profile. Other auto divisions which primarily consist of VW's truck business, we assign EV/Sales of 0.50x and EV/EBIT of 5.8xx, which still represents a discount to Daimler Trucks and Volvo. Overall, we assign a PE of 10x at group level, which is a premium to the 3 year historical 12 month fwd PE average of 6.1x. Upside/downside risks: 1) usual market demand related upside/downside risk, 2) Overestimation/underestimation of impact from Coronavirus, 3) Unexpected FX and raw material price changes, 4) Overestimation/underestimation of VW's ability to offset rising Co2 content costs, 5) Risk of missing CO2 targets in the EU (or China), particularly more if launch of upcoming EVs is delayed. Volkswagen AG (VLKPF) Our price objective of €265 (VW Prefs) is based on our SOTP analysis. We base our valuation on the recovery years 2021-23e. We value VW based on EV/Sales, EV/EBIT and PE and use the average to arrive at our price objective. We assign EV/sales of 0.25x & EV/EBIT of 2.5x to VW's mass market business (VW passenger car, Skoda, SEAT, VW CV). EV/Sales of 0.25x & EV/EBIT of 2.5x to Audi. This is broadly in line with LV division multiples of German peers BMW and Daimler's LV division. Whereas to Porsche and Bentley, we assign EV/sales of 2.0x and 1.0x respectively and EV/EBIT of 15.0x and 7.5x, a premium over other divisions due to their margin profile. Other auto divisions which primarily consist of VW's truck business, we assign EV/Sales of 0.50x and EV/EBIT of 5.8xx, which still represents a discount to Daimler Trucks and Volvo. Overall, we assign a PE of 10x at group level, which is a premium to the 3 year historical 12 month fwd PE average of 6.1x. Upside/downside risks: 1) usual market demand related upside/downside risk, 2) Overestimation/underestimation of impact from Coronavirus, 3) Unexpected FX and raw 28 material price changes, 4) Overestimation/underestimation of VW's ability to offset rising Co2 content costs, 5) Risk of missing CO2 targets in the EU (or China), particularly more if launch of upcoming EVs is delayed.

The ESGMeter is intended to indicate a company's likelihood of experiencing stronger financial stability (higher return on equity and lower earnings and price volatility) over the next three years relative to peer group. There are three ESGMeter levels – Low, Medium, and High – which indicate whether a company has attributes most likely to translate into superior financial stability (in the case of a High level) or weaker financial stability (in the case of a Low level) over the next three years relative to its peer group. A Medium level suggests that a company exhibits ESG characteristics that are likely associated with financial stability results in line with its peer group over the next three years. Full details of our methodology, financial stability definition and disclaimers are available at BofA ESGMeter methodology. ESGMeter is not intended to be indicative of a company's future stock price performance and is independent of the BofA Global Research fundamental equity analyst's investment rating, volatility risk rating, income rating or price objective for that company.
