The BMW Group continued to perform well during the second quarter 2016, setting new automobile sales volume records for both quarterly and six-month reporting periods. A total of 605,534* BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brand vehicles were delivered to customers worldwide during the period from April to June 2016 (+ 5.7%), while sales for the six-month period rose by 5.8% to 1,163,139* units.
Second-quarter sales of the Motorcycles segment totalled 46,966 units and were therefore at a similar level to the previous year (– 0.2%). In total, 80,754 motorcycles were delivered to customers between January and June (+3.0%). These figures represented the secondbest quarterly and the best six-month sales volume performances in BMW Motorrad's history.
The Financial Services segment concluded a total of 460,718 new lease and financing contracts with retail customers during the second quarter 2016 (+10.5%), while the figure for the six-month period (874,090 contracts) rose by 9.1%.
Mirroring the strong sales volume performance, secondquarter Group revenues grew by 4.5% to a new record level of € 25,014 million, despite being held down by negative currency factors. Group EBIT improved by 7.9% to € 2,725 million. Influenced in part by gains on financial derivatives, profit before tax for the quarter went up by € 216 million to a new high level of € 2,798 million (+8.4%).
Group revenues recorded for the six-month period were 2.3% higher at € 45,867 million. Similar to the quarterly trend, reported revenues were negatively affected by currency factors. The six-month EBIT figure edged up to € 5,182 million (+ 2.7%), thereby surpassing the previous year's record figure. Profit before tax rose by 6.5% to a new high of € 5,166 million, helped by tailwind from a number of factors, including fair value measurement gains recognised on derivatives.

At 30 June 2016, the BMW Group employed 123,597 people worldwide (+ 3.4%). The growth in the size of the workforce reflects the substantial levels of investment being made in future technologies such as digitalisation, automated driving and mobility services.
On 23 June 2016, a referendum was held in the United Kingdom with regard to remaining in or leaving the European Union. The decision taken by the electorate to leave the EU is not expected to have any major impact on the BMW Group's operations in the UK in the short term. As the rules for the movement of people and goods between the UK and EU member states will have to be renegotiated, a period of uncertainty is now likely to set in. Until the new arrangements have been agreed in detail, it is not possible to assess the broader impact of the impending changes.
On 1 July 2016, BMWAG, Intel Corporation and Mobileye N. V. signed a memorandum of understanding, setting out their common intention to create an open platform for the next generation of highly autonomous vehicles. The three leaders from the automotive, technology and computer vision and machine learning industries are collaborating to bring solutions for highly and fully automated driving into series production by 2021 and to align the industry on a standards-based platform.
The BMW Group's autonomous driving strategy is based on the BMW iNEXT model, which includes the vision of fleets of autonomous vehicles, not only on highways but also in urban environments. Fully autonomous vehicles form the basis for the provision of new mobility services in tomorrow's urban environments.
Report on Economic Position General Economic Environment in the first half of 2016
The upward trend on international automobile markets remained intact throughout the first half of 2016. New registrations increased worldwide by 4.4%, helped in particular by good contributions from Europe and robust growth in China. Only the US market showed a slight loss of pace.
Consumer sentiment in Europe remained optimistic during the six-month period, with new registrations up by 9.1% on average. Robust growth rates recorded on the major European markets, such as Germany (+7.1%), the United Kingdom (+3.2%) and France (+8.4%) emphasised the general upward trend. Southern Europe has seen particularly strong growth since the beginning of the year, with sharp rises again recorded in Italy (+ 19.7%) and Spain (+ 12.2%), following the previous year's strong performances.
The automobile market in the USA grew at a significantly slower pace than one year earlier, with new registrations up by only 1.4%.
After losing some of its momentum in the previous year, the automobile market in China picked up again during the first half of 2016 with a growth rate of 11.1%.
Japan's sluggish economic growth is also reflected by developments on the country's automobile market, where the negative trend continued during the period under report with a further significant year-on-year drop in the number of new registrations (–4.9%).
Automobile markets in Brazil and Russia also remained under pressure against a background of macroeconomic uncertainty. New registrations in Brazil slumped by almost one third (–32.8%), while the pace of contraction in Russia slowed to a negative rate of 4.4%.
The G 310 R presented in autumn 2015 marks BMW Motorrad's entry into a market segment within the 250 cc plus class. Since the beginning of 2016, market definition has therefore been expanded from the half-litre class (500 cc) to cover the whole of the 250 cc plus class.
Worldwide, motorcycle markets in the 250 cc plus class grew slightly during the first half of 2016, despite weaker performances in some overseas markets. Motorcycle registrations increased by 1.4% worldwide. European markets grew by 8.5% year-on-year, benefiting above all from the sharp recovery in Southern and Central
Europe. Whereas France (+2.9%) and Germany (+4.5%) saw moderate rises, double-digit surges were recorded for the markets in Italy (+17.2%) and Spain (+23.0%). The US market contracted by 3.5%.
The global economy continued to darken during the second quarter 2016. Increasing political uncertainties and the parlous economic situation in some of the major emerging markets overshadowed generally positive developments in the world's industrialised countries. The surprising decision taken by the British to leave the EU triggered a great deal of turmoil on financial markets towards the end of the reporting period.
The ECB focused its attention primarily on implementing the expanded quantitative easing measures resolved in March. Despite some initial signs of economic revival, it remains to be seen whether expansionary monetary policies will really bring about a sustainable turnaround in inflation rates.
The situation in the UK was dominated by uncertainty regarding the outcome and consequences of the EU referendum. Fears of a recession prompted the Bank of England not to raise interest rates.
The US economy grew also during the second quarter. Nevertheless, in the face of surprisingly weak employment market figures and concerns about the global impact of the UK possibly leaving the EU, the US Federal Reserve decided not to raise interest rates further.
Lower investments and weaker demand for exports caused economic growth in China to lose some of its momentum. The expansionary monetary policies of the Chinese central bank prevented an even greater slow-down.
The expansionary policies of the Japanese central bank, applied on an almost permanent basis, again only had a limited impact in the second quarter 2016. Japan's export-dependent economy suffered from languishing global trade volumes and a strong yen. Generally falling prices in Japan are raising doubts as to whether the country's inflation target of 2% can be achieved.
Prices on used car markets in Europe, Asia and North America remained largely at the previous year's levels. While Southern Europe continued to benefit from the region's economic recovery, used car markets in Central Europe remained largely unchanged during the second quarter 2016.

In total, 178,3641 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brand vehicles were sold in Asia during the second quarter (2015: 170,4291 units; + 4.7%), with six-month sales rising by 7.3% to 361,5682 units (2015: 337,1072 units). These figures include sales on the Chinese mainland totalling 120,6501 units in the second quarter (2015: 115,7101 units; +4.3%) and 247,8172 units (+7.4%) during the six-month period (2015: 230,7882 units).
Within a volatile market environment in the Americas, deliveries to customers in the period from April to June fell by 7.4% to 122,853 units (2015: 132,636 units). During the first half of 2016, a total of 223,098 units were sold in the region (2015: 242,379 units; –8.0%). In

the USA, too, second-quarter sales were down by 9.7% for the quarter to 97,501 units (2015: 107,939 units) and by 10.2% to 179,102 units for the six-month period (2015: 199,418 units).
The BMW brand enjoyed both the best second quarter and the best six-month period in its entire history. Good contributions to this performance were again made by the BMW X5, X6 and BMW 5 Series, each of which achieved pole position in their relevant segments.
At 86,198 units, sales of the BMW 1 Series in the first half of 2016 were at a similar level to the previous year (2015: 86,029 units; +0.2%). Customers took delivery of a total of 97,949 units of the BMW 2 Series during the six-month period (2015: 64,285 units; +52.4%). Sales of the 3 Series fell slightly by 3.3% to 212,180 units (2015:
219,369 units). Influenced by model life cycle factors, the BMW 5 Series' six-month sales volume of 169,398 units fell slightly short of the previous year's figure (2015: 174,228 units; –2.8%). At 25,453 units, sales of the new BMW 7 Series during the first half of the year were nearly one third higher year-on-year (2015: 19,324 units; +31.7%).
The various models of the BMW X family continued to perform well, with a combined total of 305,084 units of the five X models sold worldwide during the six-month period (2015: 260,924; +16.9%). The BMW X1 recorded a particularly strong surge in demand (94,156 units; 2015: 58,226; +61.7%). Sales of the X3, at 77,486 units, were also significantly up on the previous year (2015: 66,444 units; 16.6%). The BMW X5 sales volume of 81,351 units fell just short of the previous year's high figure (2015: 85,983 units; –5.4%).

The new models boosted MINI sales during the first half of the year, enabling the brand to set a new all-time sales volume record (174,898 units; 2015: 165,938 units; + 5.4%). The MINI Clubman put in an excellent sixmonth performance, with 27,511 units delivered to customers (2015: 491 units). Sales of the MINI 3- and 5-door models, however, at 98,546 units, fell short of the previous year's high figure (2015: 107,542; – 8.4%).

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars achieved a new sales volume record of 1,133 units in the second quarter (2015: 988 units; +14.7%). The performance was helped by a strong contribution from the new Rolls-Royce Dawn, of which 514 units had been sold since its market launch
in March. The addition of this latest member to the Rolls-Royce family provided the expected boost to the brand's sales figures, which had been held down in the early months of the year by the production changeover. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars sold 1,684 units worldwide during the first six months of the year (2015: 1,769 units; –4.8%).

Automobile production increased at Group level
Between April and June 2016, 633,5501 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brand cars rolled off the various lines of the BMW Group's production network (2015: 556,9691 units; +13.7%), comprising 529,8001 BMW (2015: 468,4161 units; +13.1%), 102,648 MINI (2015: 87,664 units; + 17.1%) and 1,102 Rolls-Royce (2015: 889 units; +24.0%). A total of 1,213,8572 units of the Group's three brands were produced during the first six months of the year (2015: 1,113,2432 units; +9.0%), comprising 1,020,3492 BMW (2015: 939,8202 units; + 8.6%), 191,705 MINI (2015: 171,571 units; + 11.7%) and 1,803 Rolls-Royce (2015: 1,852 units; –2.6%). The BMW brand therefore exceeded sales of one million units in the first half of a year for the first time in its history.
In line with its strong sales volume performance, secondquarter Automotive segment revenues grew by a solid 5.6% to € 22,872 million (2015: € 21,650 million), while six-month revenues were 2.8% higher at € 41,686 million (2015: € 40,543 million). In both reporting periods, currency factors dampened the scale of the increases.
Earnings for both the second quarter and the six-month period benefited from the increase in the cost of sales
being less pronounced than that of revenues. EBIT for the second quarter 2016 totalled € 2,178 million (2015: € 1,819 million; +19.7%). The EBIT margin came in at 9.5% and was thus at the upper end of the target range of between 8 and 10% (2015: 8.4%). Six-month EBIT improved by 9.1% to € 3,941 million (2015: € 3,613 million), resulting in an EBIT margin of 9.5% (2015: 8.9%) for the period. Profit before tax recorded by the Automotive segment for both the three-month (€ 2,277 million; + 23.5%; 2015: € 1,844 million) and the six-month period (€ 4,011 million; +15.3%; 2015: € 3,478 million) was significantly up on the previous year. The improvement in profit before tax was also attributable in part to fair value measurement gains on financial derivatives.
The Automotive segment employed a workforce of 112,107 people at the end of the first half of the year (30 June 2015: 108,834 employees), a 3.0% increase.

The highly competitive US market continued to contract, a development mirrored in a 24.5% sales volume decrease for BMW Motorrad to 6,897 units (2015: 9,138 units).
Motorcycles
*
In the period from April to June 2016, the BMW Group produced 44,105 motorcycles at its four production sites worldwide (2015: 43,855 units; +0.6%). A total of 84,385 motorcycles rolled off production lines (2015: 87,212 units; –3.2%) during the six-month period. During the second quarter, production of the new G 310 R commenced at the premises of the Group's cooperation partner TVS Motor Company in Bangalore, India. This model marks BMW Motorrad's entry into the under-500 cc class and will go on sale in autumn.
As a result of unfavourable currency factors, Motorcycles segment revenues remain at a similar level to the previous year, for both the second quarter (€ 617 million; –0.8%; 2015: € 622 million) and the six-month period (€ 1,199 million; +0.8%; 2015: € 1,189 million). EBIT and pre-tax earnings for both periods were significantly down on the previous year, due to costs incurred to expand the segment's model range and enlarge the workforce. Second-quarter EBIT amounted to € 98 million (2015: € 112 million; –12.5%), while profit before tax came in at € 97 million (2015: € 112 million; – 13.4%). EBIT and the profit before tax for the period from January to June amounted to € 192 million (2015: € 227 million; –15.4%) and € 191 million (2015: € 226 million; –15.5%) respectively.
The BMW Group employed 3,210 people in the Motorcycles segment at the end of the reporting period (30 June 2015: 3,020 people; +6.3%). The workforce was enlarged in line with the segment's new strategy, which includes the accompanying expansion of the model range.

The BMW Group increased sales of BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brand cars in the first half of 2016 by 5.8% to 1,163,139 units compared to the corresponding period one year earlier. This figure includes 153,701 units (2015: 142,285 units) manufactured by the joint venture BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd., Shenyang.
At the end of the reporting period, the BMW Group's workforce comprised 123,597 employees (30 June 2015: 119,489 employees).
The BMW Group generated a net profit of € 3,590 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016, € 325 million up on the previous year. The post-tax return on sales – calculated as Group net profit divided by Group revenues – was 7.8% (2015: 7.3%). Earnings per share of common and preferred stock were € 5.44 (2015: € 4.96) and € 5.45 (2015: € 4.97) respectively.
Earnings performance for the second quarter 2016 Second-quarter Group revenues grew by 4.5% to € 25,014 million. Adjusted for exchange rate factors* , they increased by 7.8%, mainly reflecting sales volume growth on the one hand and business volume / portfolio developments within the Financial Services segment on the other.
External revenues from the sale of BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brand cars were slightly higher than in the previous year (4.3%), in line with sales volume growth. Adjusted for exchange rate factors, the increase was 7.7%. The negative currency impact was mainly attributable to the change in the average exchange rates of the Chinese renminbi, the British pound and the South African rand against the euro. External revenues of the
Motorcycles segment were 0.8% lower than in the previous year. The Financial Services segment performed well, with second-quarter external revenues up by a solid 5.8%. Adjusted for exchange rate factors, revenues of the Motorcycles and Financial Services segments rose by 1.9% and 8.6% respectively.
Second-quarter cost of sales increased by € 625 million to € 19,957 million. Warranty expenses included in cost of sales increased primarily as a result of vehicle recall actions, the cost of which is expected to exceed amounts previously recognised. Accordingly, an additional amount of € 472 million was allocated in the second quarter to the warranty provision for various issues, including airbags supplied by the Takata group of companies and the ISOFIX attachment system used for child car seats. In addition, costs attributable to financial services business increased by € 110 million. By contrast, research and development expenses were € 44 million lower than one year earlier.
As a percentage of revenues, the research and development expense ratio decreased by 0.3 percentage points to 4.2%. Research and development expenses include amortisation of capitalised development costs amounting to € 308 million (2015: € 259 million). Total research and development expenditure – comprising research costs, non-capitalised development costs and capitalised development costs (excluding systematic amortisation thereon) – amounted to € 1,128 million in the second quarter (2015: € 1,172 million). This corresponds to a research and development ratio – calculated as research

and non-capitalised development costs divided by Group revenues – of 4.5% (2015: 4.9%). The second-quarter capitalisation rate – calculated as capitalised development costs divided by total research and development expenditure – amounted to 35.0% (2015: 29.5%).
Gross profit amounted to € 5,057 million, 9.9% up on the previous year. The gross profit margin – calculated as gross profit divided by Group revenues – came in at 20.2% (2015: 19.2%).
Compared to the previous year, selling and administrative expenses increased by € 120 million to € 2,287 million. Overall, selling and administrative expenses were equivalent to 9.1% (2015: 9.1%) of revenues. Administrative expenses went up as a result of various factors, including the enlarged workforce size and higher IT expenditure.
Depreciation and amortisation on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets recorded in cost of sales and in selling and administrative expenses totalled € 1,194 million (2015: € 1,128 million).
Other operating income and expenses deteriorated by € 134 million to a net negative expense of € 45 million for the second quarter, mainly reflecting the impact of lower income from the reversal of provisions, lower exchange gains and lower gains on the disposal of assets. The change in net operating income and expenses was also influenced by allocations to provisions.
Profit before financial result (EBIT) amounted to € 2,725 million (2015: € 2,525 million).
The financial result finished at a net positive amount of € 73 million, an improvement of € 16 million over the second quarter 2015. Other financial result in the second quarter improved by € 75 million to a net positive amount of € 49 million, mainly thanks to the result on investments, net fair value measurement gains on commodity derivatives and lower losses on currency derivatives. In contrast, the result from equity-accounted investments decreased by € 28 million to € 127 million. These figures include the Group's share of the results of the joint ventures BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd., Shenyang, DriveNow GmbH & Co. KG, Munich, and DriveNow Verwaltungs GmbH, Munich, and the associated company THERE Holding B.V., Amsterdam. The deterioration in the result from equity-accounted investments was attributable, among other factors, to a lower contribution from BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd., Shenyang, caused, in turn, by the impact of upfront expenditure for production start-ups of new vehicles and capacity expansion measures. In addition, the inclusion of THERE Holding B. V., Amsterdam, had a negative impact of € 12 million on the result from equity-accounted investments, mainly in the form of scheduled depreciation and amortisation on purchase price allocations on the one hand and transaction costs on the other.
Profit before tax increased to € 2,798 million (2015: € 2,582 million). The pre-tax return on sales – calculated by dividing Group profit before tax by Group revenues – improved to 11.2% (2015: 10.8%).
Income tax expense amounted to € 849 million (2015: € 833 million).
Net profit for the period from April to June amounted to € 1,949 million and was therefore € 200 million ahead of the previous year. In the second quarter 2016, the BMW Group generated earnings per share of common stock of € 2.95 (2015: € 2.66) and earnings per share of preferred stock of € 2.96 (2015: € 2.67).
Earnings performance for the first half of 2016 Six-month Group revenues increased by 2.3% to € 45,867 million. Adjusted for exchange rate factors, the increase was 4.7%, mainly reflecting sales volume growth on the one hand and business volume / portfolio developments within the Financial Services segment on the other.
External revenues from the sale of BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brand cars were slightly higher than in the previous year (2.2%). Adjusted for exchange rate factors, the increase was 4.9%. The negative currency impact was mainly attributable to the change in the average exchange rates of the Chinese renminbi, the British pound and the South African rand against the euro. External revenues of the Motorcycles segment were at a similar level to the previous year (0.8%). Financial Services operations recorded a 2.7% increase in external revenues.

the Motorcycles and Financial Services segments rose by 3.5% and 4.4% respectively.
Six-month cost of sales increased slightly by € 437 million to € 36,330 million. Warranty expenses included in cost of sales increased primarily as a result of vehicle recall actions, the cost of which is expected to exceed amounts previously recognised. Accordingly, an additional amount of € 472 million was allocated to the warranty provision for various issues, including airbags supplied by the Takata group of companies and the ISOFIX attachment system used for child car seats. Costs attributable to financial services business totalling € 10,150 million (2015: € 10,092 million) and research and development expenses totalling € 2,026 million (2015: € 2,022 million) were almost in line with the corresponding six-month period one year earlier.
As a percentage of revenues, the research and development expense ratio decreased year-on-year by 0.1 percentage points to 4.4%. Research and development expenses include amortisation of capitalised development costs amounting to € 612 million (2015: € 516 million). Total research and development expenditure for the six-month period amounted to € 2,102 million (2015: € 2,098 million). The research and development expenditure ratio was therefore 4.6% (2015: 4.7%). The capitalisation ratio was 32.7% (2015: 28.2%).
Gross profit amounted to € 9,537 million, 6.5% up on the previous year, resulting in a gross profit margin of 20.8% (2015: 20.0%).
Compared to the previous year, selling and administrative expenses increased by € 224 million to € 4,275 million. Overall, selling and administrative expenses were equivalent to 9.3% (2015: 9.0%) of revenues. Administrative expenses went up as a result of various factors, including the enlarged workforce size and higher IT expenditure.
Depreciation and amortisation on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets recorded in cost of sales and in selling and administrative expenses totalled € 2,381 million (2015: € 2,234 million).
Other operating income and expenses deteriorated by € 218 million to a net negative amount of € 80 million for the six-month period, mainly due to lower gains on the disposal of assets and lower income from the reversal of provisions. In addition, higher allocations to provisions contributed to the deterioration.
At € 5,182 million, Group profit before financial result (EBIT) was slightly higher than one year earlier (2015: € 5,046 million).
The financial result was a net negative expense of € 16 million, an improvement of € 179 million compared to the first half of 2015. Other financial result improved year-onyear by € 298 million to a net negative expense of € 28 million, mainly thanks to the lower losses on currency derivatives on the one hand and gains on commodity derivatives on the other. The result from equity accounted investments includes the Group's share of the
16
results of the joint ventures BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd., Shenyang, and the two DriveNow companies. The figure for the first half of 2016 also includes the Group's share of the result of the associated company, THERE Holding B.V., Amsterdam. Compared to the first half of the previous year, the result from equity accounted investments was € 85 million lower at € 198 million. The deterioration was mainly attributable to a lower contribution from BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd., Shenyang, caused, in turn, by the impact of upfront expenditure for production start-ups of new vehicles and capacity expansion measures. In addition, the inclusion of THERE Holding B. V., Amsterdam, had a negative impact of € 40 million on the result from equity-accounted investments, mainly in the form of scheduled depreciation and amortisation on purchase price allocations on the one hand and transaction costs on the other.
Profit before tax increased to € 5,166 million (2015: € 4,851 million). The pre-tax return on sales was 11.3% (2015: 10.8%).
Income tax expense amounted to € 1,576 million (2015: € 1,586 million), resulting in an effective tax rate – calculated by dividing income tax expense by Group profit before tax – of 30.5% (2015: 32.7%).
Revenues of the Automotive segment increased both in the second quarter (5.6%) and in the first half of 2016 (2.8%). The gross profit margin for the six-month period was 18.2 % (2015: 17.4%). Profit before tax amounted to € 2,277 million (2015: € 1,844 million) for the second quarter and to € 4,011 million (2015: € 3,478 million) for the six-month period, in both cases significantly higher than one year earlier. This positive
development was partially due to higher sales volume figures and an improved financial result for both the second quarter and the six-month period. The improvement in the financial result was influenced by net fair value measurement gains on commodity derivatives and lower losses on currency derivatives.
Motorcycles segment revenues remained stable in both the second quarter (–0.8%) and the six-month period (0.8%). Second-quarter segment profit before tax was significantly lower at € 97 million (2015: € 112 million), while for the six-month period it fell by 15.5% to € 191 million. The six-month gross margin dropped to 25.9% (2015: 28.1%), mainly as a consequence of higher expenses for further projects in connection with the implementation of the segment's new strategy.
Revenues of the Financial Services segment grew by 5.7% to € 6,505 million in the second quarter, while the gross profit margin improved by 0.9 percentage points to 13.6%. At € 503 million (2015: € 496 million), the second-quarter segment profit before tax showed a slight improvement. Six-month revenues went up by 2.7% to € 12,537 million. Pre-tax profit edged up by € 18 million to € 1,073 million.
The profit before tax of the Other Entities segment totalled € 46 million (2015: € 144 million) for the second quarter 2016 and € 44 million (2015: € 121 million) for six-month period.
Inter-segment eliminations during the six-month period up to the level of profit before tax gave rise to a net expense of € 153 million (2015: net expense of € 29 million), partly reflecting higher eliminations triggered by volume changes within the leased products portfolio.

The consolidated cash flow statements for the Group and the Automotive and Financial Services segments show the sources and applications of cash flows for the first six-month periods of 2016 and 2015, classified into cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statements correspond to the amounts disclosed in the balance sheet.
Cash flows from operating activities are determined indirectly, starting with Group and segment net profit. By contrast, cash flows from investing and financing activities are based on actual payments and receipts.
The cash inflow from operating activities for the first half of 2016 increased by € 427 million to € 1,212 million, benefiting from the € 325 million higher net profit and the change in provisions.
The cash outflow for investing activities amounted to € 1,969 million (2015: € 2,500 million), whereby the yearon-year decrease of € 531 million mainly reflected the fact that investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment during the six-month period were € 478 million lower at € 1,730 million.
Cash inflow from financing activities totalled € 1,821 million (2015: € 824 million). Proceeds from the issue of bonds brought in € 9,794 million (2015: € 7,335 million), compared with an outflow of € 4,837 million (2015: € 4,966 million) for the repayment of bonds. The change in other financial liabilities and commercial paper gave rise to a cash outflow of € 1,015 million (2015: cash inflow of € 372 million). The payment of dividends resulted in a cash outflow of € 2,121 million (2015: € 1,917 million).
Cash outflows for investing activities exceeded cash inflows from operating activities in the first half of 2016 by € 757 million. A similar constellation arose in the previous year, when the shortfall had amounted to € 1,715 million.
After adjustment for the effects of exchange-rate fluctuations and changes in the composition of the BMW Group totalling a negative amount of € 6 million (2015: positive amount of € 142 million), the various cash flows resulted in an increase in cash and cash equivalents of € 1,058 million (2015: decrease of € 749 million).
Free cash flow for the first half year for the Automotive segment was as follows:
| in € million | 2016 | 2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Cash inflow from operating activities | 4,124 | 4,838 |
| Cash outflow from investing activities | –1,461 | –2,559 |
| Net investment in marketable securities and term deposits | –141 | 278 |
| Free cash flow Automotive segment | 2,522 | 2,557 |
Net financial assets of the Automotive segment comprise the following:
| in € million | 30.6.2016 | 31.12.2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 5,536 | 3,952 |
| Marketable securities and investment funds | 4,281 | 4,326 |

| Net financial assets Automotive segment | 16,486 | 16,911 |
* Excluding derivative financial instruments.
Cash outflows for operating activities of the Financial Services segment were driven primarily by the increase in leased products and receivables from sales financing and totalled € 4,174 million (2015: € 3,406 million). Cash inflows from investing activities amounted to € 20 million (2015: cash outflows of € 75 million).
The BMW Group uses a broadly diversified and flexible range of funding sources to finance its operating activities. Almost all of the funds raised are used to finance the BMW Group's Financial Services business. Further details regarding the principles and objectives of financial management are contained in the Group Financial Statements at 31 December 2015.
During the period from January to June 2016, BMW Group entities issued euro-benchmark bonds with a volume of € 2.75 billion. For the first time, the BMW Group also placed a bond (for US \$ 4 billion) on the US capital market.
Bonds denominated in other foreign currencies (Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and Chinese renminbi) with a total volume of € 754 million, private placements in various currencies with a total volume of € 2.9 billion and promissory notes totalling € 540 million were also issued during the six-month period. Furthermore, six ABS transactions with a total volume of € 3.2 billion were executed in Germany, the USA, South Africa, Canada, China and Japan. The regular issue of commercial paper on the one hand and deposit-taking by the Group's banking subsidiaries on the other, are also used to refinance the BMW Group.
The Group balance sheet total increased during the period under report by 4.9% to stand at € 180,602 million at 30 June 2016. Adjusted for exchange rate factors, the increase was 6.1%. The currency impact was mainly attributable to the depreciation in the value of various currencies against the euro, most notably the British pound, the US dollar and the Chinese renminbi.
The increase in non-current assets on the assets side of the balance sheet related primarily to receivables
from sales financing (5.5%), financial assets (49.5%) and leased products (1.7%). By contrast, property, plant and equipment decreased (–4.3%).
Non-current receivables from sales financing rose by € 2,305 million to € 44,170 million during the six-month period and accounted for 24.5% (31 December 2015: 24.3%) of total assets. The solid increase in this line item mainly reflects the higher volume of financing to customers. Adjusted for exchange rate factors, the increase was 7.3%.
Non-current financial assets accounted for 1.8% (31 December 2015: 1.3%) of total assets. Non-current financial assets rose significantly during the six-month period by € 1,092 million to stand at € 3,300 million, mainly reflecting the favourable development of currency derivative fair values. Adjusted for exchange rate factors, the increase was 48.2%.
Leased products went up slightly from € 34,965 million to € 35,544 million on the back of the general growth of Financial Services business. Leased products accounted for 19.7% of total assets (31 December 2015: 20.3%). Adjusted for exchange rate factors, they increased by 3.1%.
Property, plant and equipment accounted for 9.4% of total assets at the end of the reporting period (31 December 2015: 10.3%), decreasing by € 768 million to € 16,991 million. Investments in property, plant and equipment during the six-month period amounting to € 1,017 million were lower than one year earlier (2015: € 1,598 million), mainly reflecting the lower amount incurred for the start-up of new products. At the same time, depreciation on property, plant and equipment increased from € 1,632 million to € 1,681 million. Adjusted for exchange rate factors, property, plant and equipment decreased by 3.6%.
Within current assets, increases were registered in particular for inventories (25.4%), cash and cash equivalents (17.3%) and financial assets (7.6%).
Inventories went up by € 2,810 million to € 13,881 million during the six-month period and accounted for 7.7%
18
19
of total assets (31 December 2015: 6.4%). Most of the increase related to finished goods and was primarily attributable to stocking up in the various markets. Adjusted for exchange rate factors, inventories went up by 26.1%.
Cash and cash equivalents increased significantly compared to the end of the financial year 2015, rising by € 1,058 million to € 7,180 million, reflecting the higher volume invested in short-term fixed-term deposits. Adjusted for exchange rate factors, cash and cash equivalents increased by 18.0%.
Current financial assets stood at € 7,140 million at the end of the reporting period (31 December 2015: € 6,635 million). Adjusted for exchange rate factors, they increased by 7.7%.
On the equity and liabilities side of the balance sheet, the increase was due primarily to changes in non-current financial liabilities (9.3%), pension provisions (58.1%), Group equity (2.6%) as well as non-current (11.7%) and current (10.4%) other provisions. By contrast, current financial liabilities decreased (–5.1%).
Non-current financial liabilities on the other hand increased from € 49,523 to € 54,104 million during the six-month period. Adjusted for exchange rate factors, they were 9.4% higher than at the end of 2015. The increase in non-current financial liabilities was primarily attributable to the issue of bonds.
Pension provisions increased from € 3,000 million to € 4,743 million during the six-month period, primarily due to the lower discount factors applied in Germany, the UK and the USA.
Group equity rose by € 1,123 million to € 43,887 million, mainly as a result of fair value gains on derivative financial instruments recognised directly in equity (€ 2,057 million) and the net profit attributable to shareholders of BMWAG (€ 3,572 million). Furthermore, income and expenses relating to at-equity accounted investments and recognised directly in equity (before tax) increased equity by € 73 million. The fair
value measurement of marketable securities benefited equity by a further € 102 million, while minority interests increased by € 18 million. By contrast, remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability for pension plans reduced equity by € 2,088 million, mainly as a result of the lower discount rates applied in Germany, the UK and the USA. Group equity was also reduced by the payment of the dividend (€ 2,102 million). Currency translation differences had a negative impact of € 401 million on equity. In addition, deferred taxes on items recognised directly in equity (€ 74 million) and sundry other changes (€ 34 million) reduced equity.
The equity ratio of the BMW Group – calculated by dividing equity by the balance sheet total – was 24.3% at the end of the reporting period (31 December 2015: 24.8%). The equity ratio of the Automotive segment was 38.8% (31 December 2015: 40.1%) and that of the Financial Services segment was 7.9% (31 December 2015: 8.2%).
Current and non-current provisions increased from € 9,630 to € 10,691 million during the six-month period. Adjusted for exchange rate factors, the increase was 12.2% and related mainly to vehicle recall actions, the cost of which is expected to exceed amounts previously recognised. A further € 472 million was allocated to the warranty provision in the second quarter for various issues, including airbags supplied by the Takata group of companies and the ISOFIX attachment system used for child car seats.
Current financial liabilities decreased by € 2,161 million compared to 31 December 2015 and stood at € 39,999 million. Adjusted for exchange rate factors, they were 4.6% lower than at the end of 2015. The reduction in current financial liabilities arose primarily as a result of the favourable development of currency derivative fair values on the one hand, and lower commercial paper volumes on the other.
Overall, the earnings performance, financial position and net assets position of the BMW Group developed positively during the second quarter and six-month reporting periods.

Report on Outlook, Risks and Opportunities Report on Outlook
The report on outlook, risks and opportunities describes the expected development of the BMW Group, including the associated material risks and opportunities, from a Group management perspective.
The report on outlook, risks and opportunities contains forward-looking assertions based on the BMW Group's expectations and assessments, which are, by their very nature, subject to a certain degree of uncertainty. As a result, actual outcomes, including those attributable to political and economic developments, could differ substantially – either positively or negatively – from the expectations described below. Further information is also available in the section "Report on risks and opportunities" on page 68 et seq. of the Annual Report 2015.
Further information on the assumptions used in the BMW Group's outlook can be found in the "Outlook" section on pages 63 et seq. of the Annual Report 2015.
The global economy is currently forecast to grow by around 3.1% in 2016.
The eurozone is likely to see economic growth in the region of 1.5%. The highly expansive monetary policies of the European Central Bank (ECB) are not likely to cause the euro to gain in value against other currencies, a development that should therefore provide tailwind for export-orientated sectors within the eurozone. Despite this positive factor, the current growth rate in the region is still not stable, given the high levels of political uncertainty on the one hand, and the unchanged need to implement structural reforms on the other. Moreover, a renewed escalation of the sovereign debt crisis in a number of European countries cannot be ruled out. The German economy is still expected to grow by 1.6%. The favourable situation on the employment market means that public-sector and consumer spending are again likely to provide momentum for the increase in gross domestic product (GDP). The expected growth rate in France has been raised slightly to 1.5% and is now in line with the average for the eurozone. Italy's GDP is expected to grow by 1.0%. Despite the failure to form a government after the election, Spain is nevertheless expected to grow by a robust 2.8% over the year.
Following the Brexit decision, the UK economy is now predicted to grow by 1.4% in 2016, a downward adjustment of 0.8 percentage points compared to the forecast made at the beginning of the year. Investment activities during the first half of 2016 were already being
significantly affected by the impending Brexit referendum. Given the outcome of the referendum, a revival in the second half of the year seems unlikely. Consumer spending could also slow down. Further risks affecting the current year cannot be ruled out.
The US economy seems set to lose some of its momentum during the remainder of the year and slow to a growth rate of 1.9%, mainly reflecting the impact of a strong US dollar, which is dampening export growth. Consumer spending, which has so far been one of the main cornerstones of the domestic economy, is also expected to weaken. In view of the fact that the job market in the USA is nearing full-employment (based on a forecast unemployment rate of 4.8%), pay levels are set to rise.
The growing concerns of international investors in China at the beginning of the year have been dispelled to some extent by the introduction of state-financed economic stimulus measures, which have significantly reduced capital outflows. Economic output is now expected to grow by 6.5% over the year as a whole and therefore at the lower end of the target range set by the government. The current high levels of debt in China nevertheless remain a cause for uncertainty.
According to the latest forecasts, GDP in Japan is only expected to grow by 0.6%. Early macroeconomic indicators suggest that optimism is waning. Consumer spending is also suffering from a general reticence to spend, a situation that is unlikely to change significantly in the near future. As a result of the sharp appreciation of the Japanese yen, any increase in exports is almost certain to be less pronounced than in the previous year.
India is expected to generate a growth rate of 7.5%. An improved climate for investments and infrastructure measures could pave the way for further robust growth in the future.
In stark contrast, the situation remains difficult in Russia and Brazil. Whereas conditions in Russia have improved slightly thanks to the recent rise in oil prices (reflected by the fact that GDP is now only forecast to contract by 0.9% in 2016), Brazil finds itself in the middle of a deep recession (– 3.3%). In addition to the murky political situation, South America's largest economy is having to cope with the consequences of lower raw material prices.
Over the course of 2016, however, oil prices are likely to rise, reflecting the net impact of full storage facilities, falling capacities and a reduction in oversupply.

Forecasts currently point to a growth rate of 2.3% for global automobile markets in 2016, with much of the momentum coming from China and Europe. By contrast, the pace of growth in the USA is currently slowing.
Automobile markets in Europe are benefiting from favourable economic developments and positive consumer sentiment. Across Europe, new registrations are therefore forecast to increase by 5.4% to a total of 15.0 million units in the current year.
As the largest automobile market in the EU, Germany is set to grow at a slightly below-average rate, with new registrations up by 2.9% to 3.3 million units. The forecast for the UK is an increase of 2.6% to 2.7 million units. However, the extent to which the consequences of the Brexit decision result in a market forecast correction still remains to be seen. France's automobile market is set to recover with a total volume of 2.0 million vehicles (+ 3.3%). Strong growth is also expected in Italy, with the market expanding by 14.9% to 1.8 million units. The Spanish market is forecast to grow at a somewhat slower pace of 11.0% to 1.2 million units.
After a period of rapid growth in recent years, the automobile market in the USA is likely to expand at a slightly more subdued pace, with new registrations up by only a comparatively small rate of 0.2% to 17.5 million units.
The rapid growth in the number of new registrations in China in recent years is expected drop to 6.9% in 2016, corresponding to a total of 22.0 million units.
As in the previous year, there seems little prospect of the Japanese automobile market achieving a turnaround in 2016. The market is currently expected to contract by a further 1.3% to approximately 4.8 million units this year.
Brazil's economic problems will result in a severe slump in new registrations in 2016, which currently are forecast to drop by 30.0% to 1.7 million units. Despite the difficult economic situation in Russia, the latest prediction is for only a slight drop in registrations (1.3 million units; –2.0%).
Markets for 250 cc plus motorcycles are likely to continue expanding slightly in 2016. Registration figures for Europe as a whole are also expected to rise slightly, including minor increases in Germany and France. Markets in Italy and Spain are set to continue their steep upward trajectory. By contrast, the negative trend most recently observed in the USA is likely to persist.
The global economy is likely to lose further momentum as the second half of the year progresses. There seems little likelihood of any rapid recovery for faltering emerging economies, while at the same time a number of industrial countries are likely to see their growth forecasts downgraded as a result of uncertainties triggered by the Brexit decision. It can be assumed that most major central banks will persevere with their expansionary monetary policies.
The ECB is currently monitoring the impact of its measures and stands ready to take appropriate action if need be. The Bank of England is expected to lower interest rates to counter the negative consequences arising from the Brexit vote.
In the USA, the Federal Reserve is expected to raise reference interest rates far more slowly than had been predicted at the beginning of the year, with only one more interest rate hike now expected before the year end.
The Chinese economy is forecast to slow down moderately thanks to government and central bank intervention aimed at preventing any significant downturn in growth.
The BMW Group expects selling prices to remain predominantly stable on markets for pre-owned vehicles in continental Europe and Asia over the course of the year. Developments in the UK are currently difficult to predict in the wake of the Brexit decision. The situation on the pre-owned vehicle market is likely to depend on the performance of the British pound and therefore on the price of new vehicles. Used vehicle prices in North America could also fall.
Competition on international automobile markets is set to remain fierce during the current year. Furthermore, developments in major emerging economies, the USA and China are likely to influence the pace of earnings growth. Political and macroeconomic uncertainties in Europe may also play a role (see the "Political and global economic risks" section in the Risk Report of the Annual Report 2015). Nevertheless, the BMW Group expects to remain firmly on course for growth in 2016. The upward trend will, however, be held down by rising personnel
costs and high levels of investment in projects that will ultimately help safeguard future competitiveness. Overall, Group profit before tax is expected to increase slightly year-on-year (2015: € 9,224 million).
The BMW Group will continue to recruit staff in 2016, spurred by growth in the automobile and motorcycle lines of business on the one hand and the expansion of its financial and mobility services on the other. Based on our latest forecasts, we expect a slight increase in the size of the workforce (2015: 122,244 employees) during the twelve-month period.
The BMW Group forecasts successful sales volume performances for all three of its brands in 2016. Assuming economic conditions remain stable, deliveries to customers are expected to rise slightly to a new record level (2015: 2,247,4851 units).
Dynamic market conditions, particularly in Europe, should have a positive impact on automobile sales volumes. Most notably, the previous year's upward trend on southern European markets is set to continue. The situation in major emerging markets is likely to remain tense. Despite the gradual trend towards normalisation on the Chinese market, Asia as a whole is expected to provide momentum for growth. Sales volume in the Americas region is forecast to remain close to the previous year's level. However, further economic and political risks cannot be ruled out.
Regulations governing vehicle carbon emissions are becoming stricter all around the world. Developing highly efficient combustion engines and increasing the scope of electrification in its fleet of vehicles are key aspects in the BMW Group's unrelenting endeavour to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions, without compromising its excellent standards in terms of sporting flair and dynamic driving performance. Fleet carbon emissions are forecast to drop slightly in 2016, thus continuing the trend seen in previous years (2015: 127 grams CO2 / km).
The positive sales volume performance predicted for the BMW Group should also be reflected in Automotive segment revenues. A slight increase in segment revenues is therefore predicted for the forecast period (2015: € 85,536 million).
EBIT margin in target range of between 8 and 10% expected The Automotive segment continues to target an EBIT margin (profit before financial result as a percentage of Automotive segment revenues) between 8 and 10% for 2016 (2015: 9.2%).
Segment RoCE3 is now forecast to decrease only "slightly" during the full financial year (2015: 72.2%), mainly reflecting the lower level of capital employed attributable to the lower investments in property, plant and equipment. However, the long-term target RoCE of "at least 26%" for the Automotive segment will be easily surpassed. In the Annual Report 2015, the forecast had been a "moderate" decrease in RoCE.
The BMW Group expects the upward trend most recently witnessed in the Motorcycles segment to continue, helped by good contributions from the F 700 GS and F 800 GS updated models (available since February) and the new R NineT Scrambler and G 310 R models (available as from autumn 2016). Due to better than expected sales figures in Europe and Latin America, deliveries of BMW motorcycles to customers are now expected to reflect a "solid" sales volume increase (2015: 136,963 units). In the Annual Report 2015, the forecast had been for a "slight" increase in deliveries to customers.
Thanks to strict control of working capital, the Motorcycles segment's RoCE is now forecast to be at the previous year's level (2015: 31.6%). In the Annual Report 2015, the forecast had been for a "slight" decrease in RoCE.
Return on equity expected at previous year's level Based on latest forecasts, the Financial Services segment should continue to perform well during the second half of 2016. RoE4 is expected to come in at a similar level to the previous year (2015: 20.2%), thus remaining above the minimum target of 18%.

3 RoCE in the Automotive and Motorcycles segments is measured on the basis of relevant segment profit before financial result and the average amount of capital employed in the segment concerned. Capital employed corresponds to the sum of all
current and non-current operational assets, less liabilities that do not incur interest. 4 RoE in the Financial Services segment is calculated as segment profit before taxes, divided by the average amount of equity capital attributable to the Financial Services segment balance sheet.

Report on Outlook, Risks and Opportunities Report on Risks and Opportunities
Business is expected to develop well in the 2016 financial year. Despite the many challenges described above, Group profit before tax is forecast to increase slightly. Automotive segment revenues are expected to be slightly up on the back of a slight increase in deliveries to customers. Simultaneously, a slight decrease in fleet carbon emissions is predicted. The Group's targets are to be met with only a slight rise in staff numbers worldwide. The Automotive segment's EBIT margin is set to remain within the target range of between 8 and 10%, although its RoCE is likely to decrease slightly. The Financial Services segment's RoE will be broadly in line with the previous year. Nevertheless, both performance indicators will be higher than their long-term targets of 26% (RoCE) and 18% (RoE) respectively. A "solid" increase is forecast for Motorcycles segment sales, with the RoCE at a similar level to the previous year. Depending on the political and economic situation and the outcomes of the risks and opportunities described in the Annual Report 2015, actual business performance could, however, differ from current expectations.
As a globally operating enterprise, the BMW Group is constantly confronted with a broad range of risks, but also with numerous opportunities. Consciously taking risks and making full use of any opportunities that present themselves are the basis for the Group's corporate success.
The BMW Group has been ordered by a number of regulatory agencies to undertake recall actions for various vehicle models, relating to airbags supplied by the Takata group of companies. Provision for the costs involved has been recognised within warranty provisions. (Further information is provided in notes 26 and 30 to the Group Financial Statements.) It cannot be ruled out, however, that further BMW vehicles will be affected by a recall. Attention was drawn in the "Report on risks and opportunities" section of the Annual Report 2015 (page 68 et seq.) to a potential requirement for higher provisions and an increased risk of recalls.
There have been no material changes to the overall risk profile compared to that described in the Group Management Report 2015. Further information on risks and opportunities, and on the methods employed to manage them, can also be found in the "Report on risks and opportunities" section of the Annual Report 2015 (page 68 et seq.).

BMW Stock and Capital Markets
Uncertainties regarding the health of the Chinese economy had been among the main factors exerting downward pressure on stock markets during the first quarter 2016. The mood in European financial centres proceeded to brighten somewhat at the beginning of the second quarter. On the one hand, the decision of the ECB to additionally purchase euro-denominated corporate bonds with good credit ratings from June onwards was well received by stock markets. At the same time, however, the ongoing debate about the possibility of the UK leaving the European Union severely dented investor confidence. Following the Brexit vote on 24 June, indices around the world had tumbled by the end of the reporting period.
The German stock index (DAX) finished the second quarter at 9,680 points, a drop of 2.9% since the beginning of April. The three-month low of 9,269 points was recorded on 27 June 2016. The index was down 9.9% compared to the beginning of the year. The chemical and financial services sectors were particularly hit by the unfavourable combination of economic and political uncertainties.
The Prime Automobile Performance Index also fell sharply in response to capital market uncertainties, finishing the reporting period at 1,191 points. In the period since the beginning of the second quarter, the sector index therefore lost 13.5% of its value.

Condensed Notes to the Group Financial Statement to 30 June 2016 Accounting Principles and Policies
The Group Financial Statements of BMWAG at 31 December 2015 were drawn up in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as applicable in the European Union (EU) at that date. The Interim Group Financial Statements (Interim Report) at 30 June 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 (Interim Financial Reporting), have been drawn up using, in all material respects, the same accounting methods as those utilised in the 2015 Group Financial Statements. The BMW Group applies the option of publishing condensed group financial statements. All Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) which were mandatory at 30 June 2016 have been applied. The Interim Report also complies with German Accounting Standard No. 16 (GAS 16) – Interim Financial Reporting – issued by the German Accounting Standards Committee e. V. (GASC).
Further information regarding the Group's accounting principles and policies is contained in the Group Financial Statements of BMWAG at 31 December 2015.
In order to improve clarity, various items are aggregated in the income statement and balance sheet. These items are disclosed and analysed separately in the notes.
A Statement of Comprehensive Income is presented at Group level, reconciling the net profit to comprehensive income for the periods under report.
In order to provide a better insight into the earnings performance, financial position and net assets of the BMW Group and going beyond the requirements of IFRS 8 (Operating Segments), the Group Financial Statements also include balance sheets and income statements for the Automotive, Motorcycles, Financial Services and Other Entities segments. The Group Cash Flow Statement is supplemented by statements of cash flows for the Automotive and Financial Services segments, whereby the supplementary information was not part of the external auditor's review.
In order to facilitate the sale of its products, the BMW Group provides various financial services – mainly loan and lease financing – to both retail customers and dealers. The inclusion of the financial services activities of the Group therefore has an impact on the Interim Group Financial Statements.
Inter-segment transactions – relating primarily to internal sales of products, the provision of funds and the
related interest – are eliminated in the "Eliminations" column. More detailed information regarding the allocation of activities of the BMW Group to segments and a description of the segments is provided in the explanatory notes to segment information in the Group Financial Statements of BMWAG for the year ended 31 December 2015.
In conjunction with the refinancing of financial services business, a significant volume of receivables arising from retail customer and dealer financing is sold. Similarly, rights and obligations relating to leases are sold. The sale of receivables is a well-established instrument used by industrial companies. These transactions usually take the form of asset-backed financing transactions involving the sale of a portfolio of receivables to a trust which, in turn, issues marketable securities to refinance the purchase price. The BMW Group continues to "service" the receivables and receives an appropriate fee for these services. Such assets remain in the Group Financial Statements although they have been legally sold. Gains and losses relating to the sale of such assets are not recognised until the assets are removed from the Group balance sheet. Special purpose trusts / entities are included as consolidated companies in accordance with IFRS 10 (Consolidated Financial Statements).
In addition to credit financing and leasing contracts, the Financial Services segment also brokers insurance business via cooperation arrangements entered into with local insurance companies. These activities are not material to the BMW Group as a whole.
The Interim Group Financial Statements at 30 June 2016 have been reviewed by the Group auditors, KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Berlin.
The Group currency is the euro. All amounts are disclosed in millions of euros (€ million) unless stated otherwise.
The preparation of the Interim Group Financial Statements requires management to make certain assumptions and judgements and to use estimations that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and contingent liabilities. All assumptions and estimates are based on factors known at the end of the reporting period. They are determined on the basis of the most likely outcome of future business developments. Actual amounts could differ from those assumptions and estimates if business conditions develop differently to the Group's expectations at the end of the reporting period. Estimates and underlying assumptions are checked regularly.
The BMW Group Financial Statements for the first half of 2016 include, besides BMWAG, 21 German and 159 foreign subsidiaries. This includes one special purpose securities fund and 30 special purpose trusts, almost all of which are used for asset backed financing. In addition, three joint operations are consolidated proportionately.
No entities were consolidated for the first time during the second quarter 2016. BMW SLP S. A. de C. V., San Luis Potosí, and BMW Financial Services Polska Sp. z o.o., Warsaw, were consolidated for the first time during the first half of 2016.
The exchange rates applied for currency translation purposes in accordance with the modified closing rate Compared to 30 June of the previous year, two subsidiaries and 16 special purpose trusts have been consolidated for the first time.
Also compared to 30 June of the previous year, one subsidiary and 16 special purpose trusts have ceased to be consolidated companies. These changes to the composition of the Group do not have a material impact on the results of operations, financial position or net assets of the Group.
Moreover, there were no acquisitions during the first half of 2016 which were material for the BMW Group as a whole.

Basic earnings per share are calculated for common and preferred stock by dividing the net profit after minority interests, as attributable to each category of stock, by the average number of shares in circulation.
In computing earnings per share of preferred stock, earnings to cover the additional dividend of € 0.02 per
share of preferred stock are spread over the four quarters of the corresponding financial year. Earnings per share of preferred stock are computed on the basis of the number of preferred stock shares entitled to receive a dividend in each of the relevant financial years. As in the previous year, diluted earnings per share correspond to basic earnings per share.

The Group Statement of Changes in Equity is shown on pages 34 and 35.
At 30 June 2016 common stock issued by BMWAG was divided, as at the end of the previous year, into 601,995,196 shares with a par value of € 1. The number of shares of preferred stock at that date – also unchanged from 31 December 2015 – was 54,809,404 shares, each with a par value of € 1. Unlike the common stock, no voting rights are attached to the preferred stock. All of the Company's stock is issued to bearer. Preferred stock bears an additional dividend of € 0.02 per share.
The shareholders passed a resolution at the 2014 Annual General Meeting authorising the Board of Management, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the Company's share capital by up to € 5 million prior to 14 May 2019 by the issuance of new shares of non-voting preferred stock, carrying the same rights as existing non-voting preferred stock, in return for cash contributions. So far, 549,617 shares of preferred stock have been issued on the basis of this authorisation. Authorised Capital therefore stands at € 4.5 million at the end of the reporting period. The BMW Group did not hold any treasury shares at 30 June 2016.
Capital reserves include premiums arising from the issue of shares and were unchanged from 31 December 2015 at € 2,027 million.
Revenue reserves comprise the post-acquisition and nondistributed earnings of consolidated companies. In addition, remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability for pension plans are also presented in revenue reserves.
Pension provisions stood at € 4,743 million (31 December 2015: € 3,000 million). Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability for pension plans increased the provisions by € 2,088 million in the first half of the year,
Other provisions, at € 10,691 million (31 December 2015: € 9,630 million) include employee and social-related obligations as well as obligations for ongoing operational expenses.
Provisions for obligations for on-going operational expenses totalling € 6,478 million (31 December 2015: € 5,811 million) relate primarily to warranty obligations. The increase was attributable primarily to vehicle recall
Income tax liabilities totalling € 1,198 million (31 December 2015: € 1,441 million) include obligations amounting to € 382 million (31 December 2015: € 485 million) which are expected to be settled after more than twelve months. Revenue reserves increased during the six-month period to stand at € 41,066 million at 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: € 41,027 million). They were increased in the first half of 2016 by the net profit for the period attributable to shareholders of BMWAG amounting to € 3,572 million (2015: € 3,255 million) and reduced by BMW AG's payment of dividends on common stock (€ 1,926 million) and preferred stock (€ 176 million) for the financial year 2015. Revenue reserves also decreased by € 1,421 million (2015: increased by € 761 million) as a result of remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability for pension plans (net of deferred tax recognised directly in equity). Other changes decreased revenue reserves by a further € 10 million (2015: € – million).
Accumulated other equity comprises all amounts recognised directly in equity resulting from the translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, the effects of recognising changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments and marketable securities directly in equity and the related deferred taxes recognised directly in equity.
Equity attributable to minority interests amounted to € 228 million (31 December 2015: € 234 million). This includes a minority interest of € 18 million in the results for the period (31 December 2015: € 27 million).

actions, the cost of which is expected to exceed amounts previously recognised. A further € 472 million was allocated to the warranty provision in the second quarter for various issues, including airbags supplied by the Takata group of companies and the ISOFIX attachment system used for child car seats.
Current other provisions amounted to € 5,528 million at the end of the reporting period (31 December 2015: € 5,009 million).
Some of the liabilities may be settled earlier than this depending on the timing of proceedings. Current tax liabilities comprise € 246 million (31 December 2015: € 288 million) for taxes payable and € 952 million (31 December 2015: € 1,153 million) for tax provisions.

The BMW Group has been ordered by a number of regulatory agencies to undertake recall actions for various vehicle models, relating to airbags supplied by the Takata group of companies. Provision for the costs involved has been recognised within warranty provisions. It cannot be ruled out, however, that further BMW vehicles will be affected by a recall. Further disclosures pursuant to
IAS 37.86 cannot be provided at present, in view of the fact that technical tests have not yet been completed.
For further disclosures relating to contingent liabilities, please see note 41 to the Group Financial Statements of BMWAG for the year ended 31 December 2015, since there have been no other significant changes during the first half of the year.
The fair values shown are computed using market information available at the balance sheet date, on the basis of prices quoted by the contract partners or using appropriate measurement methods e.g. discounted cash flow models. In the latter case, amounts were discounted at 30 June 2016 on the basis of the following interest rates:
| ISO Code in % |
EUR | USD | GBP | JPY | CNY |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interest rate for six months | –0.23 | 0.69 | 0.77 | –0.29 | 2.98 |
| Interest rate for one year | –0.20 | 0.68 | 0.61 | –0.08 | 2.99 |
| Interest rate for five years | –0.10 | 0.99 | 0.67 | –0.15 | 3.25 |
| Interest rate for ten years | 0.37 | 1.37 | 1.05 | –0.03 | 3.69 |
The interest rates derived from interest-rate structures are adjusted, where necessary, to take account of the credit quality and risk of the underlying financial instrument.
Derivative financial instruments are measured at their fair value. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined using measurement models, as a consequence of which there is a risk that the amounts calculated could differ from realisable market prices on disposal. Observable financial market price spreads are taken into account in the measurement of derivative financial instruments. The supply of data to the model used to calculate fair values also takes account of tenor and currency basis spreads, thus helping to minimise differences between the carrying amounts of the instruments and the amounts that can be realised on the financial markets on their disposal. In addition, the Group's own default risk and that of counterparties is taken into account in the form of credit default swap
contracts which have matching terms and which can be observed on the market.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are allocated to different measurement levels in accordance with IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement). This includes financial instruments that are
The following table shows the amounts allocated to each measurement level at the end of the reporting period:

Condensed Notes to the Group Financial Statement to 30 June 2016 Other disclosures
As in the previous year, there were no reclassifications within the level hierarchy during the first half of 2016.
In situations where a fair value was required to be measured for a financial instrument only for disclosure purposes, this was achieved using the discounted cash flow method and taking account of the BMW Group's own
default risk. For this reason, the fair values calculated can be allocated to Level 2.
In the case of financial instruments held by the BMW Group which are not measured at fair value, the carrying amounts of such instruments correspond as a general rule to fair values. The following items are the main exceptions to this general rule:
| in € million | 30.6.2016 Fair value |
Carrying amount | 31.12.2015 Fair value Carrying amount |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loans and receivables – Receivables from sales financing | 75,280 | 72,193 | 72,309 | 70,043 | ||
| Other liabilities – Bonds | 46,369 | 45,629 | 40,701 | 40,319 |
In accordance with IAS 24 (Related Party Disclosures), related individuals or entities which have the ability to control the BMW Group or which are controlled by the BMW Group, must be disclosed unless such parties are already included in the Group Financial Statements of BMWAG as consolidated companies.

To Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, Munich We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, Munich – comprising the income statement for group and the statement of comprehensive income for group, the balance sheet for group, the condensed cash flow statement for group, the group statement of changes in equity and selected explanatory notes, together with the interim group management report of Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, Munich, for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2016, that are part of the semi-annual financial report according to §37w WpHG ("Wertpapierhandelsgesetz": "German Securities Trading Act"). The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with those IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.
We performed our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through
critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor's report.
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with those IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.
