Your Freedom. Our Signature. Individual mobility is about having the freedom to get around as required in our private and professional lives. It is a basic human need that exists around the world. Developing technical solutions for the mobility of today and of the future is what drives us. And as a specialist in rubber and plastics technology, we are a preferred partner to many other key industries as well. We inform shareholders, analysts, shareholders’ associations, the media and interested members of the public equally on significant developments in the corporation. We thus provide all market participants with relevant information about Continental at the same time.

In the past year, your Continental did just that, growing in spite of weak economies in Southern Europe and some emerging markets and intensified competition around the world. The sales increase and the level of earnings underscore our strong competitiveness. Our financing rests on a solid foundation. This has been confirmed by the three major rating agencies Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch, all of which re-assigned us the investment grade rating without any restriction. The end of December 2013 saw our share price peaking at a then historic high of €161.90. On the DAX, we were once again the winner last year in terms of the relative rise in share price. All in all, last year we achieved further significant milestones on our successful path, strengthened the basis for profitable growth, and demonstrated our future potential. To Our Shareholders > Chairman’s Letter > Annual Report 2013 > Continental AG 7 As a result of all our efforts, you – our shareholders – recorded an 82% increase in the share price in the past year. On top of this, a dividend of €2.25 was paid, making for a total return of 86%. Your Continental shares not only significantly outperformed the DAX and the EURO STOXX 50, but also beat the EURO STOXX Auto- mobiles & Parts by 45 percentage points. Behind this successful track record is the strong commitment of our almost 180,000 Continental employees and their collaboration with our numerous customers and business partners. For this I wish to thank them on behalf of the entire Executive Board. Our global team once again proved that values create value. The two go together, since if we fail to put values into practice we cannot be competitive or create value. They are what determines how efficiently and effectively we perform our work, how successfully we operate around the world, and how quickly we launch pioneering new technologies on the market.
