It was a new beginning aimed at becoming a strong Group that beats the competition, is agile and uses new ideas and stable momentum, not only to manage digital change but also to push forward with it to increase value. In the process, the Group always aligns itself with the desires and requirements of its customers. Today, after three years, the evidence is clear: The path that we have charted is the right one, and it is ensuring our success. We have made substantial investments: in new prod- ucts, in digitalisation, in our sales, in our employees, in efficient processes and, above all, in the satisfaction of our customers. After three years of change, the W&W Group is a different entity today. It is more agile, more modern, more digital, closer to its customers and more weatherproof. The success of our transformation is most readily apparent in the key figures of the W&W Group: Our net income target for 2019 was to exceed the previous year’s net income after taxes of €215 million and to post a value in the long-term target corridor of €220 to 250 million. At roughly €249 million, profit came in at the upper end of our forecast corridor. This was aided by sustained operational growth, continued good net underwriting income, cost discipline, as well as an improved net measurement gain from securities and financial instruments under IFRS. In 2019 the net income of W&W AG pursuant to the German Commercial Code (HGB) rose to €90 million, after post- ing a figure of €80 million for the previous year. This, too, underscores the rising profitability of our company. The results are gratifying, but they are not an end in and of themselves: They put us in a position to continue to pre- pare for the future and at the same time to ensure our independence. That we are also on the right path in strategic terms is underscored by new business, which was once again very positive in the year just ended. In the “Housing” division, we were able to further boost new home loan savings business and cement our second-place position in the industry in Germany. In terms of construction financing, Wüstenrot posted an increase in new business of approximately 14% compared with the previous year. In the “In- surance” division, Württembergische once again recorded impressive growth rates. For instance, new premiums in life insurance rose by 28%, and in property and casualty insurance, annual portfolio contributions went up by 7%. Our youngest pillar, the “brandpool” division, which has grouped together the new digital initiatives and products of the W&W Group, is making an increasingly strong contribution to business success. For instance, “Adam Riese”, our young digital insurer, had acquired 90,000 customers by the end of 2019, less than two years after starting. “Adam Riese”, as well as the trends for our other digital offerings, show that we are succeeding in meeting changed customer needs and tapping into new customer groups with innovative products. Digitalisation was with- out doubt the starting point, driver and catalyst for the transformation of our Group. However, digitalisation alone 4 | Wüstenrot & Württembergische AG | Letter to shareholders would not have gotten us to where we are today. Our restructuring went far beyond that and continues to do so. Our actual strength is the result of an interlocking of digitalisation with the other elements of our change: • We have worked on our processes, which have become faster and, above all, more customer-friendly. • We are making significant investments in basic and advanced training, as well as in a good work environment for our employees. • With our “W&W Besser!” initiative, we have also worked on our culture and have become more agile, open and creative. All these changes, which we adressed at an early stage, now show their positive effects, which we can see in new business, net profit, customer satisfaction, emloyee satisfaction, and in the way our Group is perceived by the pub- lic. It gives pleasure to see that we gain in agility and speed and leave the well-worn paths. We know however, that there is still some work to do. More work remains to be done. The solid business performance and the success that we’ve experienced with our restructuring are also reflected in the W&W stock price in the year 2019. It closed the year at €19.36, only slightly below the high for the year, and posted a price rise of 21.0% for 2019. Taking into account the dividend in the amount of €0.65 that was paid for 2018, overall performance was 25.1% for the previous year. We of course want to let you, dear shareholders, appropriately share in the business success of the past year. Therefore, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board will propose the Annual General Meeting a solid dividend of €0.65 per share. This demonstrates the solidity of W&W Group even in turbulent times. Thus, W&W stock would achieve a dividend yield of 3.6% and once again outperform the prospective average dividend yields of MDAX (2.15%) and SDAX (2.29%). Dear shareholders, Zero and negative interest rates, economic skid marks – including in important industries for us, such as residen- tial housing construction – trends to more governmental intervention and greater regulation are conditions that will not make our business any easier in 2020. Despite our new beginning, we have always paid attention to making the Group weatherproof. Particularly now where the economic environment in Germany is once again deteriorating after years of strong growth, this cannot be overemphasised. The willingness to take new paths and to invest in the future must be accompanied by cost discipline and tight risk management, because these are two sides of the same coin. We think in terms of chances, but we keep our eyes on the risks.

    SMA Solar Technology AG—Press Release SMA to deliver operations and maintenance services for TerraForm Power’s North American solar fleet Niestetal, Germany, November 27, 2019—SMA America, the U.S. subsidiary of SMA Solar Technology AG (SMA/FWB: S92), has signed a 10-year framework agreement with TerraForm Power for SMA to provide operations and maintenance (O&M) services for TerraForm Power’s North American solar fleet. Starting in early 2020, the companies will enter into long-term project-level service agreements and transition operations to SMA. The 10-year agreement covers approximately 1 gigawatt of TerraForm Powers’ existing solar portfolio. “We are pleased that TerraForm Power has selected SMA as the O&M services partner for its North American solar fleet. With this award SMA is strengthening its position among the top providers of O&M services,” said Jürgen Reinert, Chief Executive Officer of SMA. “As a leading inverter repowering specialist SMA offers solutions that can replace obsolete inverters thereby enhancing plant performance. This includes repowering of defunct inverters when original equipment manufacturers no longer support equipment. Our nationwide service footprint and global presence give us an additional advantage.” SMA is uniquely qualified to serve as the custodian of Terraform Power’s assets given its knowledge of inverter technology and more than 35-year experience in photovoltaics technology. SMA’s expertise reduces TerraForm Power’s operational risk and aligns with the latter company’s objective to maximize production and improve reliability. “We are pleased to sign an innovative framework agreement with SMA to oversee O&M activities for our North American solar fleet and believe this agreement will prove to be an important operational milestone for TerraForm Power,” said John Stinebaugh, Chief Executive Officer of TerraForm Power.

    SMA Solar Technology AG—Press Release Emission-free driving: The new SMA EV Charger combines solar power and e-mobility Niestetal, September 10, 2020 – According to forecasts, one million electric vehicles will be on Germany’s roads by 2022. Around 80% of these will be charged at home. Using solar power from your own roof has benefits not only for the environment, but also for your wallet.

Even when charging has to be done really quickly. Furthermore, the SMA EV Charger integrates seamlessly into the SMA Energy System Home, making installation and maintenance easier for installers. “Solar power makes e-mobility really worthwhile,” said Nick Morbach, Executive Vice President of the Home & Business Solutions business unit at SMA. “That's why we developed the SMA EV Charger. It enables electric car drivers to always charge conveniently and reliably while using the maximum available amount of cost-effective and CO2- neutral solar power. With the SMA EV Charger, we provide installers with a key component of an ‘all-in-one package’, because the SMA EV Charger is part of the SMA Energy System Home. All components, including communication for the domestic energy system, come from a single source, and there is only one contact point for questions regarding expansion, warranties or service.” Fast and reliable charging – with solar power, of course The SMA EV Charger enables fast, reliable and cost-effective charging and for this purpose has various charging modes.

With strong exposure to e-mobility and a rising share of automated solutions in the scope of Industry 4.0, Jungheinrich is the second-largest player in its core market Europe after the KION Group. Barriers to entry should remain high in light of substantial size advantages for existing players, such as know-how, capital requirements, strong supplier and customer relationships. Within its peer group, Jungheinrich stands out with a high share of aftermarket revenues, leading to a high share of recurring revenues which provides a safety cushion in times of economic slowdown. Having outperformed economic growth by a factor of 1.5x in the past decade, the global market for intralogistics looks set to rise further, especially driven by a robust shift towards e-commerce, fuelling demand for warehouse equipment.
