Factors
1) Net Sales
-In 2013, the Company's sales were MXN 10,361.8 million, an increase of 10.3%. The increase in sales was due to major market penetration in all operating regions.

2) Suspensions Division Brazil
-The Company's Suspensions Division Brazil recorded sales of MXN 3,017.7 million in 2013, an increase of 17.6% over the previous year. Much of the increase was due to a normalization in sales volumes of commercial trucks following the run-off sales of truck inventories based on old emission control technology in 2012.

3) Brakes Division
-Sales in the Company's Brakes Division grew 33.5% to MXN 2,183.5 million in 2013. Two contributing factors to the increase in sales were new contracts that the Company started to supply during 2013, along with the increase in production of ten new platforms launched at the end of 2012 into the first half of 2013.
