Disclaimer
This presentation contains forward-looking statements and information on the business development of the Audi Group. These statements may be spoken or written and can be recognized by terms such as “expects”, “intends”, “plans”
or words with
similar meaning. These statements are based on assumptions relating to the development of the economies of individual countries, and in particular of the automotive industry, which we have made on the basis of the information available to us and which we consider to be realistic at the time of going to
press. The estimates
given involve a degree of risk, and the actual developments may differ from those forecast.
Consequently, any unexpected fall in demand or economic stagnation in our key sales markets, such as in Western Europe (and especially Germany) or in China or the USA, will have a corresponding impact on the development of our business. The same applies in the event of a significant shift in current exchange rates relative to the US dollar, sterling, yen, Brazilian real, Chinese rinminbi
and Czech koruna.
If any of these or other risks occur, or if the assumptions underlying any of these statements prove incorrect, the actual results may significantly
differ from those
expressed or implied by such statements.
We do not update forward-looking statements retrospectively. Such statements are valid on the date of publication and can be superceded.
