Factors
1) Net Sales
-The Company's sales in 2013 increased by 0.6% from the previous year to EUR 5,789 million. Sales increases from new projects in China and the US were offset by the decline in sales in Europe and the negative effect of the depreciation of foreign currencies compared to the euro.

-In 2013, body and chassis component sales accounted for 80.8% of the Company's total revenues, while mechanism product sales represented 12.2% of the Company's revenue.

2) EBITDA
-The Company's EBITDA decreased by 4.2% to EUR 594 million due to lower than expected sales and the launch of high cost growth projects worldwide.

Restructuring

Partial acquisition of business in Americas by Mitsui
-Mitsui & Co., Ltd. announced that it has agreed to take up to 30% equity of the Company's North and South American operations. The Company currently has a total of 17 plants in the US, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. Upon receiving regulatory approval by relevant authorities in June 2013, Mitsui acquired 15% of the Company's Americas operations through a third party allocation of new shares, and offered convertible loans. This allowed the Japanese company to hold up to 30% shares of the Company's business in the Americas, for a total investment aggregate of EUR 297 million (JPY 33 billion). The Company hopes that this transaction will help bolster its presence in the Americas, as well as improve its standings with Japanese OEMs. (From an article in the Nikkan Jidosha Shimbun on January 11, 2013)
