Risks and uncertainties

As a result of its operations, the Bilia Group is exposed to both operating risks and financial risks.

The operating risks include:

  • Development of the market for new cars. The economic turbulence in the world may reduce demand for new cars.
  • Diminished demand for cars can also affect the value of stock in hand and guaranteed residual values.
  • Reduced demand for service and repairs.
  • Increased competition in the markets where Bilia is active.
  • The ability of suppliers to offer competitive products.
  • Automotive suppliers become insolvent or terminate retailer agreements with Bilia.
  • Regulatory decisions that lead to changes in taxes and charges on the products Bilia sells can influence both demand for and the valuation of cars in stock and cars sold with guaranteed residual values.

The financial risks include liquidity risks, interest rate risks, credit risks and currency risks.

Bilia works continuously with risk identification and risk assessment. For further information about the risks that affect the Group, please refer to the 2011 Annual Report.

Operating segments

As from 1 January 2012, the Fuel Business has been separated from the Service Business.

The Parent Company and eliminations are reported under segment reconciliation.
