Automotive Division
-This financial year shows a new pattern, related to vehicle registration changes, with the first quarter down 17%, the second quarter down around 5%, then the third quarter recovery of 4%, rising to an 18% rise in the last quarter of 2009, thanks to government incentive schemes. All European countries followed this pattern, with the exception of two areas: Eastern Europe was down 27% and Spain down 18%.
-The Germany Business Group suffered the most from the very late recovery of BMW and Daimler, as well as from Volkswagen's drastic stock decrease. Business Group France was down 11%, and the major parts manufacturers down 19%. On the other hand, activity in China shows 60% growth to over 12m euros.
-New product developments slowed down, although the division saw a slight rise in research towards the end of the period. Annual sales revenue generated from new products represents 9.5% of 2009 sales, as compared with an average of over 12% for the last three financial years.
