Further Information

This interim statement was prepared in accordance with section 53 of the Exchange Rules for the Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (FWB) and does not constitute an interim financial report as defined in International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34. It does not contain any related party disclosures or separate financial information for the third quarter of 2019, and hence departs from the guidance for preparing interim management statements in Sweden proposed by Nasdaq Stockholm. This interim statement has not been reviewed by an auditor.

This interim statement contains certain forward-looking statements for the remaining months of fiscal year 2019 that are based on present assumptions and forecasts by the Company's management. A range of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors may result in the actual results, financial position, development, or performance of the TRATON GROUP differing materially from the estimates given here. Such factors include those that TRATON has described in published reports. These reports are available on our website at www.traton.com. The Company does not assume any obligation to update such forward-looking statements and to adapt them to future events or developments.

The figures given for the net assets, financial position, and results of operations were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). All figures shown are rounded, so minor discrepancies may arise from addition of these amounts.

Effective January 1, 2019, the new IFRS 16 financial reporting standard made changes to the previous lease accounting rules with the core objective of recognizing all leases. The effects of the initial application of the standard were explained in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements and in the Group interim management report as of June 30, 2019. Operating profit for the first nine months of 2019 improved by €36 million because of the separate presentation of interest expense in leases. The change in the recognition of operating lease expenses in the statement of cash flows resulted in a €125 million improvement in cash flow from operating activities and net cash flow in the first nine months of 2019. Cash flow from financing activities decreased accordingly. The increase in financial liabilities resulting from the change in accounting policies negatively impacted net liquidity in the Industrial Business segment by €1,047 million as of September 30, 2019. We do not expect the application of IFRS 16 to have a material impact on sales revenue in fiscal year 2019, although we do anticipate a slight increase in operating profit.

Report on Expected Developments

The TRATON GROUP Executive Board expects the macroeconomic development in 2019 in the core geographic regions for the TRATON GROUP, i.e., Europe (defined as EU28 countries excluding Malta plus Norway and Switzerland, or "EU28+2") and South America, to show stable performance or a slight improvement compared to 2018.

We further assume a stable political environment in the most relevant countries for the TRATON GROUP. In particular, we assume stability of the global trade and tariff framework and no further deterioration of the political environment between China and the United States of America.

We expect total sales volumes for heavy- and medium-duty trucks in the markets relevant for the TRATON GROUP to slightly increase in 2019. In addition to the EU28+2 countries with particular focus on Germany, these markets comprise Brazil, Russia, South Africa, and Turkey.

Bus sales volumes in the relevant markets are assumed to moderately increase in 2019. In addition to the EU28+2 countries, in particular Germany, the most relevant bus markets for the TRATON GROUP are Brazil and Mexico.

Overall, we expect total sales revenue in the Industrial Business segment to moderately increase.

We assume a strong increase in sales revenue for our Financial Services segment.

We assume that the main driver for the expected growth will be an increase in penetration rates in both existing regions and in new regions. Growth is assumed to continue to primarily relate to financing services.

For the period from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019, we currently expect the operating return on sales of the TRATON GROUP to be in the range of 6.5% to 7.5%. This expectation is based on the assumption that the sales revenue generated by the TRATON GROUP in 2019 will be up slightly on the prior-year figure. From the development of exchange rates, we expect a net positive impact on operating profit at Scania V&S, primarily due to the depreciation of the Swedish krona (SEK) against the British pound and the euro. In 2018, sales revenue of Volkswagen Gebrauchtfahrzeughandels und Service GmbH ("VGSG") was still included in the total TRATON GROUP figure.

The new financial reporting standard IFRS 16 (Leases) has been applied to our forecast for fiscal year 2019. We do not expect this change to have a material impact on sales revenue, but anticipate a slight increase in operating profit.

Our forecast for the operating return on sales of the TRATON GROUP and its consolidated subsidiaries for the period from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019, reflects the forward-looking expectations of the Company with respect to the 2019 operating return on sales forecast of the TRATON GROUP.

Scania Vehicles & Services

In addition to an overall improvement in sales revenue growth, earnings were lifted by an improved market mix and exchange rate effects. The successful rollout of the new Scania truck generation in Latin America and Asia marked the end of the previous parallel production of old and new series. Scania continues to work consistently on optimizing its logistics and production processes, thus systematically improving the cost situation and normalizing its production capacity following the rollout of the new truck generation.

MAN Truck & Bus

The positive effects from the rise in sales revenue were offset by a less favorable product mix and a difficult market environment for used vehicles. There were also negative effects from higher expenses, including depreciation charges due to increased capital spending as well as higher costs in preparation for the launch of the new truck and bus generations. The prior-year period contained an earnings effect of €19 million resulting from the transfer of the RIO brand to a TRATON GROUP company. Earnings effects in the prior-year period included expenses for the restructuring of activities in India amounting to €115 million.

The increase in sales revenue was offset by foreign exchange effects and inflation-related cost increases, e.g., for materials, as well as higher depreciation. The operating profit includes a gain of €13 million from the reversal of a restructuring provision. Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus continues to focus its efforts on an extensive program to strengthen the company in a competitive market environment with the aim of systematically improving its earnings quality.
