Overview

Volkswagen AG (Volkswagen) is one of the world’s leading automobile manufacturers and is the largest carmaker in Europe. The company's strong international presence and market position are its key strengths. Strategic alliances and growing demand for fuel efficient vehicles could ensure a strong future for the company. However, its debt and limited liquidity are areas of concern to the company. Stricter emission standards and intense competition could also affect the company's growth.

Strengths

Strong Financial Performance

The company exhibited strong financials in fiscal 2010, which provide it with strong cash base to fuel its operational and business expansion needs. The company’s revenues increased from € 105187.00m in 2009 to € 126875.00m in 2010. In addition, the net income of the company increased substantially from € 960.00m in 2009 to € 6836.00m in 2010, and the operating income of the company increased from € 1855.00m in 2009 to € 7142.00m in 2010, respectively. This can be attributed to strong performance of its business segments. As a result, operating margin of the company increased from 1.7645 in 2009 to 5.6295 in 2010, and the return on equity increased from 2.7215 in 2009 to 14.8685 in 2010. In addition, the return on asset of the company increased from 0.542% in 2009 to 3.428% in 2010; and the return on capital employed also increased from 1.7235 in 2009 to 5.8315 in 2010, respectively. This growth was also reflected in the growth ratios of the firm as the sales growth of the company increased from -7.5755 in 2009 to 20.6195 in 2010.

Global Footprints

The company leverages its strong geographical presence to tap the immense market potential in the automobile domain. Volkswagen is one of the world’s leading automobile manufacturers and is the largest carmaker in Europe. Till date, the group maitains 62 production plants in 15 European countries and seven countries in the Americas, Asia and Africa. Further, the company produce about 30,000 vehicles or are involved in vehicle-related services. The Volkswagen Group sells its vehicles in 153 countries. The company operates in various regions, which include Europe, North America, South America, South Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Wide geographical presence helps the company mitigate the various risks associated with overdependence on a particular market. In 2010, the group increased the number of vehicles delivered to customers to 7.203 million, which makes a 11.4 % share of the world passenger car market. In Western Europe 21 % comes from the Volkswagen Group. Such a exhaustive geographical base coupled with its strong market position provides it a competitive edge over its peers.

 

Strong Brand Portfolio

Volkswagen has a strong brand portfolio, which gives it an edge over its competitors while attracting and retaining a loyal customer base. It offers nine major brands which include SEAT, Bentley, Scania, Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Bugatti, Volkswagen Commercial and Lamborghini. The company has approximately 198 models under nine brands. The Audi and Skoda brands occupy a leading position in the core European markets. The company manufactures luxury cars, convertibles and SUVs under the Audi brand. The A4, A6, A3, Audi Q7, A5, TT Coupe, Audi Q5, A8, A3 Cabriolet, A4 Cabriolet, TT Roadster, A6 allroad quattro and R8 models are offered under the Audi brand. The company produces hatchback models, sedans, luxury sedans and compact SUVs under the Skoda brand. Octavia, Fabia, Roomster, and Superb are the models offered by the company under the Skoda brand. Under the SEAT brand, it offers passenger cars, which include models such as the Ibiza, the Leon, Altea/Toledo, Cordoba, Alhambra and Exeo. Under the Bentley brand, the company offers various luxury sedans and exclusive cars under different models including Continental GT Coupe, Continental GT Cabriolet, Continental Flying Spur, Brooklands, Arnage and Azure. Thus, a strong brand portfolio helps the company serve a diverse customer base.

Weaknesses

High Debt Component

The company reported high leveraged capital structure, which may affect its expansion and growth plans. The company reported a substantially high debt to equity ratio of 167.4975, a net debt to equity ratio of 207.908% and a debt to capital ratio of 62.8715. this can be attributed to its high total debt component of € 77012.00m consisting of a long term debt component of € 37159.00m. The company incurred this debt to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs. If it fails to comply with any of the debt service requirements, the debt could become due and payable prior to its scheduled maturity. Such huge debt requires the company to dedicate a significant portion of its cash flow from operations to service interest and principal payments. Any reduction in revenues and operating cash flows could hinder the company’s ability to repay interest and principal, resulting in default. Hence, such huge debt increases the financial burden on the company, limiting the availability of cash for its growth. Further, company's current ratio was 1.12 at the end of fiscal year 2010. This was below the S&P 500 companies average* of 1.46. A lower than S&P 500 companies average* current ratio indicates that the company is in a weaker financial position than other companies in the S&P 500 index.

Product Recalls

Product recalls not only affect the brand image of the product or brand in the market but also affects the cost structure of the firm in a large way in turn affecting the revenue stream of the company. In 2011, Volkswagen recalled more than 12,000 Routan minivans in the US because of a defect that could allow the key to slip while driving, causing the engine to shut down without warning. Further, Volkswagen recalled over 413,000 cars in the US and Canada for the risk that they could develop fuel leaks and potentially catch fire. The recall covers the Golf, Rabbit, Jetta and Jetta Sportwagen models from the 2007 to 2009 model years. The New Beetle from the 2006 to 2010 model years is also covered under the recall. Golf, Rabbit and Jetta models have a plastic tab on the windshield fluid container that could rub against a fuel line and cause a leak to develop. These type of recalls affect the brand image of its product in the market in turn affecting the growth prospects of the firm in the long run.

Opportunities

Strategic Acquisitions

The company capitalizes on growth opportunities by acquiring businesses that would help it improve its brand name and geographical presence. Volkswagen acquired 49.9% stake in Porsche AG Company in December 2009, and in 2011 both the companies would merge to form a global automotive entity. This would provide the company immense advantage as Porsche is a high profile brand and this would further help Volkswagen improve its brand image. In 2011, Volkswagen completely acquired the operating business of Porsche Holding Salzburg (PHS) in accordance with previous announcements. The transfer took place at a value of €3.3 billion on March M011. The Also, in December 2009, Suzuki Motor Corporation signed a capital alliance with the company to establish a dominating presence especially in the emerging markets of China and India. According to the deal, Volkswagen would acquire 19.9% stake in Suzuki Motor Corporation. This partnership would enable them to provide synergies in the production and development of fuel-efficient, low-emission vehicle technologies. Earlier, in 2008, Volkswagen entered into a number of successful joint projects. These strategic alliances will further broaden the product portfolio and expand the company's reach into existing and new markets, thereby increasing its revenue.

Growth Prospects: Emerging Markets

The fast paced growth in the emerging economies offers a huge growth potential for the company by enabling it to leverage its strong brand and product portfolio. Despite the global economic slowdown, growth in the East Asia and Pacific region (especially China) as well as in South Asia (especially China & India) has been resilient. This was mainly due to a massive fiscal stimulus package in China and India's skillful macroeconomic management. In the year 2009, China became the largest auto market in the world, with vehicle sales increasing 46 % to reach 13.6 million units. China's annual automobile sales increased 46.15% Year on Year to 13.64 million units and its automobile output rose 48.3% to 13.79 million units in 2009. Also, in 2009, automotive parts exports to China rose 4.9 % to $937 million. Further, China’s accession to the WTO (in year 2001) allowed increased access to China’s auto market, which resulted in explosive growth. Also, China aims to increase its total annual production capacity of pure electric, plug-in, hybrid and other new energy vehicles to 500, 000 units by 2011. Further, despite the economic slowdown, the commercial vehicle industry n India grew by 40.1% compared to the decline of 17.4% in 2008-09. The passenger vehicle industry, which had showed a decline of 0.5% in the previous year, grew by 24.8% in 2009-10. It is expected that the passenger vehicle sales will grow at a CAGR of 12% to reach 3.75 million units by 2014, up from 1.89 million units at the end of 2008-09. This would include 1 million units contributed from exports. Further, to make India a powerhouse in the global automobile industry, the government launched the Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006-2012. It aims at making India a destination of choice in the world for design and manufacture of automobiles and auto components. With an output aimed at $145 billion, it would account for 10% of the GDP and would provide employment to 25 million people by 2016. In the future, similar growth prospects are expected in other BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) while developed countries are likely to see static sales or declines. With high competition and saturated markets most of the global automotive firms have shifted their focus to these regions for new growth avenues. As the company offers various automotive products and solutions across emerging markets, the company can expect a rise in demand for its products. These growth opportunities in the emerging markets directly correlated with the business of the company and could provide it with further opportunities to fuel its business & revenue growth.

Increasing Demand for Fuel Efficient Vehicles

The company could find increased opportunities in the area of fuel efficient vehicles, which feature advanced technologies such as hybrids, clean diesel engines, flexible-fuel ethanol vehicles and a turbocharged direct injection system. According to, Energy Information Administration (US Government), the sale of unconventional vehicles (hybrid) account for 63% of the total Light Duty Vehicles (LDV) sales. The total sale of hybrid vehicles is estimated to increase from 2.3% of new LDV sales in the year 2007 to 20.6%, and 39.6% by 2015 and 2030, respectively. It is further forecast that the sales of hybrid vehicles could reach 7.9 million in 2030. Various Automobile manufactures are involved in various research projects related to hybrid vehicles such as Chrysler, working to revamp its fleet; Ford, involved in research related to direct injection, turbo, variable valve; Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes among others. Toyota continues to focus on its plans to make hybrids available across its fleet; GM is strengthening its product line-up with the reintroduction of electric vehicle with its plug-in hybrid Volt; and Nissan is also leaning on electric vehicle introduction to beef up is vehicle mix market. Thus, the company is well placed to fulfill the growing demand for light Hybrid Electric technological innovations. Moreover, the company could also gain benefits in the US market, as the US government has introduced new auto investment plan in 2009, under which over a million environmentally friendly vehicles are targeted in the US by 2015. Thus, with the unconventional and hybrid vehicles becoming the mainstay in the future automobile market, the company could find huge opportunities to garner higher market share and increase its revenues.

New Partnership Agreements

The company entered various new partnership agreements in the recent past to fuel its research and development initiatives and to fuel its business growth in future. In 2011, AUDI and Voith GmbH signed a letter of intent to develop partnership to promote industrialization of fiber-reinforced materials, particularly through developing a highly automated process chain for high-volume automotive production. In addition, te Volkswagen Group is expanding its activities in Southeast Asia under its Strategy 2018 growth program. The company and DRB Hicom signed an agreement for local vehicle assembly in Malaysia. In 2010, Audi entered partnership with Tongji University in Shanghai to aim the domain of electromobility. In addition, in 2010, Volkswagen AG, Argentina government signed a cooperation agreement on training, research and development. Further, Scania was granted €3.3m by Sweden’s Strategic Vehicle Research and Innovation Initiative (FFI) to develop a biofuel engine intended for heavy commercial vehicles. These new partnership initiatives not only helps the com[any to develop its research base but also provide it with further opportunities to fuel its future growth.

Threats

Stringent Emission Standards

Stricter emission standards could impact the company’s operations. After the directive adopted by the European Union (EU) Commission and the EU Parliament to establish stringent emission standards for passenger and light commercial vehicles in 2005 and subsequent years through EURO 4 legislation, new directives are impending. EU introduced a more stringent emission standard, EURO 5 in 2009, followed by the even more stringent EURO 6 standards, which, if adopted, would be mandated by 2015. In China, phase-wise regulations similar to the EURO series of emission regulations have been implemented since 2005. The Step 4 regulations which would follow the Step 3 regulations (implemented earlier in 2005) are expected to be implemented from 2010. Similarly, in Australia, regulations equivalent to, or more stringent than, the Euro 4, are likely to be implemented. In addition, in the US market, the California Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulation was adopted in 2005. The ZEV, which was earlier implemented in the states of New York, Massachusetts and Vermont, would be extended to the state of Maine and the state of New Jersey from 2009. Stricter emission standards could compel the company to redesign its vehicles, increasing its compliance costs. If the company fails to adopt appropriate measures in the stipulated time or fails to comply with the regulations at any point of time, it could face fines and penalties.

Growing Counterfeit Goods Market

The market for counterfeit goods has been on the rise across industries and is affecting the sales as well as the image of the branded products. Counterfeiting continues to be a major growing issue in the automotive parts industry. According to US Federal Trade Commission counterfeiting costs the global automotive parts industry $12 billion a year. The parts that tend to be counterfeited mostly include brake pads, spark plugs, and various types of filters. Both the Motor and Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) claim the majority of counterfeit parts are made in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Russia, India, Pakistan, and Uruguay. Counterfeiting in automotive parts not only affects the jobs prospects, financial health of legitimate companies and increases costs related to warranty claims, investigations, but also jeopardizes public safety, tarnishes brand names. Thus, the company is prone to these challenges and the counterfeit products will have a major effect on the company’s fortunes.

Intensifying Market Competition

The intense competition in the global automotive industry poses a threat to the company. Due to the increasing number of new players, the overall manufacturing capacity in the industry is exceeding the demand. The company faces intense comptetion from various firms including Ford Motor Company, Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Mazda Motor Corporation, Toyota Motor Corporation, Daimler AG, Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, PSA Peugeot Citroen, Volvo Car Corporation, and Mercedes-Benz. Such excess capacity has been forcing many industry players to offer marketing incentives such as subsidized financing, price rebates, leasing programs and others on the vehicles, in order to sustain and improve their market shares. Growing competition restricts the company’s ability to increase the prices of its products to an extent that would offset cost increases of raw materials, or the adverse currency fluctuations in the US and the European markets. Further, as most of the companies are eyeing the small car segment market as the future, there is huge pressure on the company to keep up with the competition and innovate and develop products that match customer expectations at competitive prices. The competition is stiff in countries such as India and China. Thus, the intense competition could have a negative impact on the company’s profitability and market share.

Porsche Automobil Holding SE's Public Prosecutor Investigation to Have Impact on Timeline of Merger into Volkswagen AG

Feb 23, 2011


Porsche Automobil Holding SE (Porche SE) announced that the end of investigations against two former Management Board of the Company can be expected at the earliest at the beginning of 2012.

It also reduces the probability that the merger can be achieved under the timeline of the basic agreement (which requires that the necessary shareholder resolutions on the merger are made in 2011) from previous 70% to 50%. This has corresponding impacts on the valuation made in Porsche SE's consolidated financial statements of the put and call options held by Porsche SE and Volkswagen AG in relation to the indirect 50.1% stake (held through a trustee) in Porsche AG.

Volkswagen AG To Recall 413,000 Cars For Fuel Leak Risk-Reuters

Dec 15, 2010


Reuters reported that Volkswagen AG said it would recall over 413,000 cars in the United States and Canada for the risk that they could develop fuel leaks and potentially catch fire. The recall covers the Golf, Rabbit, Jetta and Jetta Sportwagen models from the 2007 to 2009 model years. The New Beetle from the 2006 to 2010 model years is also covered under the recall. Of the total, 377,000 of the cars are being recalled in the United States with the remainder in Canada. Volkswagen AG said that the Golf, Rabbit and Jetta models have a plastic tab on the windshield fluid container that could rub against a fuel line and cause a leak to develop. Volkswagen AG had said in a statement from Frankfurt that it was recalling about 377,000 vehicles in North America. In the case of the New Beetle, a fastening clamp that is part of the power steering system could cause the same kind of problem, the automaker said in a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. All of the vehicles are manufactured in Mexico and shipped to the United States and Canada. Owners will be notified of the recall in January, VW said in its filing with U.S. safety regulators. Volkswagen AG said it would pay for its dealers to inspect all of the vehicles covered by the recall and replace the fuel line if needed. In addition, dealers will either remove the potentially risky plastic tab from the Golf, Rabbit and Jetta models or adjust the problematic clamp in the case of the Beetle.

Hamilton County July vehicle sales rise 15 percent

Chattanooga Times (TN): 03 August 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

Aug. 03--Demand for new cars and trucks in Hamilton County was up sharply in July over a year ago, figures show.

New vehicle registrations rose 15 percent in July versus the same month in 2010 to 851 cars and trucks, according to the Hamilton County Clerk's Office.

For the first seven months of the year, registrations are up 14.2 percent in the county compared with the same period a year ago.

But compared to June, the number of vehicles titled in July was down 13.6 percent in Hamilton County.

The industry was hurt last month by consumer uncertainty about the economy, higher prices and spot shortages of the Japanese brands and small cars, analysts and industry executives said.

"The auto industry is having a difficult time shaking off adversity," said Jeff Schuster, executive director of global forecasting at J.D. Power and Associates.

General Motors Co. said July sales rose 7.6 percent to a 214,915 vehicles compared to the same month a year earlier.

American Honda Motor Co. said its July sales fell 28.4 percent to 80,052 vehicles.

Honda was one of the auto companies hit hardest by manufacturing and parts supply disruptions caused by the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.

"We look forward to improved inventory levels in the coming months as most of our North American facilities begin to return to full production in August," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda.

Toyota Motor Corp. said its July sales fell 22.7 percent to 130,802 vehicles, while Subaru sales fell 9.4 percent to 21,730 vehicles. Nissan North America said its sales rose just 2.7 percent to 84,601 vehicles.

Other automakers posted better results.

Ford Motor Co. said its July sales totaled 180,865, up 8.9 percent from the same month a year earlier.

Chrysler Group posted a 20 percent increase to 112,026 vehicles.

It was the automaker's best July since 2007 despite a sales environment "tougher than a cheap steak," said Reid Bigland, chief executive of Chrysler's Dodge brand.

Volkswagen of America also posted a gain, reporting sales of 29,066 vehicles, a 21.7 percent increase over the same month a year earlier.

More than half of its sales volume came from one model, the Jetta compact sedan.

"July was a strong month and signaled a good start for the second half of the year," said Jonathan Browning, Volkswagen's U.S. chief executive.

"For the seventh month in a row, we significantly outpaced the industry performance," Browning said.

SocGen leads sharp drop for European markets
Euro leaps as Switzerland moves to cool its overvalued franc

MarketWatch: 03 August 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

LONDON (MarketWatch)  European stock markets fell sharply Wednesday on the heels of fresh sell-offs in both the U.S. and Asia, with Societe Generale leading the decline after the French bank warned that its 2012 earnings target will be hard to achieve.

The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXPdropped 1.1% to 254.26 in morning trading, hitting its lowest level since September as worries about stalling economies in Europe and the U.S. pushed all sectors into the red.

The losses followed a 2.2% drop for the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA on Tuesday, its eighth consecutive decline, as an agreement to lift the U.S. debt ceiling could do nothing to halt the mounting concerns about growth.

Among the worst performers was Societe Generale GLE, which dropped 6.6% after reporting a 31% drop in second-quarter net profit, driven by write-downs on its Greek bond holdings, and warning that its 2012 profit target of 6 billion euros ($8.5 billion) now appears difficult to achieve.

The stock led the French CAC 40 index PX1down 1.3% to 3,476.66.

Other bank stocks were also mostly lower, including a 2.5% drop for Credit Agricole ACAand a 2.6% fall for Italys UniCredit SpA UCG,which is scheduled to report earnings later in the day.

Standard Chartered PLC STANwas the main exception, rising 2.2% in London after the emerging markets-focused lender reported a 20% rise in its first-half profit.

The euro EURCHFwas stronger, rising 0.5% against the dollar and surging 2% against the Swiss franc as the Swiss National Bank took steps to halt the francs recent rise.

Calling the franc massively overvalued at present, the SNB said it would move its target for three-month Libor as close to zero as possible, narrowing the target range to 0% to 0.25% from 0% to 0.75%.

The bank said it will simultaneously very significantly increase the supply of liquidity to the Swiss franc money market over the next few days, and that it aims to expand banks sight deposits at the SNB from around 30 billion Swiss francs to 80 billion Swiss francs.

Other heavy losers on Europes stock markets included Cairn Energy PLC CNE, which dropped 4.5% in London after the oil and gas exploration firm said a well off the coast of Greenland didnt find oil.

Most other commodities-related stocks were lower, including a 2.8% drop for BHP Billiton BLTBHPafter Credit Suisse downgraded the stock to neutral from outperform, saying rival Rio Tinto RIORIOwas its preferred play. Shares in Rio Tinto were down a more muted 1.4%.

The U.K.s FTSE 100 index UKXdropped 1.1% to 5,653.79 and the German DAX 30 index DAXwas down 1.2% at 6,712.60.

Volkswagen AG VOW3was the biggest decliner on the German market, dropping 3.8% as auto stocks lost ground across the continent.

Among other stocks in focus across Europe, shares in Thomas Cook Group PLC TCGrose 5.3% after the company announced the departure of its CEO just weeks after a profit warning.

 

Munich the only big spenders in modest Bundesliga transfer market By John Bagratuni, dpa

Dpa English: 03 August 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story
.]

Berlin (dpa) - Bayern Munich have been the biggest summer spenders as they aim to return to the top of the Bundesliga which has been modest overall on the transfer market ahead of Friday's kickoff.

Led by Germany goalkeeper and freshly crowned Footballer of the Year Manuel Neuer, Munich spent around 45 million euros (64.7 million dollars) from the 132 million euros all 18 clubs invested in new players.

The sum tops the 87 million euros from last year, but is far below the record 194 million euros spent in 2007. In addition, the top flight clubs have raked in 102 million dollars from player sales.

The figures are subject to change as the transfer window remains open until August 31.

VfL Wolfsburg are still trying to get rid of out-of-favour Brazilian playmaker Diego and some clubs may look at additional players if they don't get out of the starting blocks well.

But due to Bundesliga ownership rules, which outlaw investors fully taking over a club, huge transfers as in England, Italy and Spain are simply out of the question.

Munich have a new coach in Jupp Heynckes and also spent big on players after having to settle for third in the past season without a trophy.

Neuer came from Schalke for an estimated 22 million euros, the biggest Bundesliga summer transfer fee. The troubled defence is to be bolstered by Jerome Boateng and Rafinha, who cost some 19 million euros.

"We want to became national champions and cup winners. That is Bayern Munich's aim, year after year," said captain Philipp Lahm.

The new players are also to raise Munich's chances in the Champions League as the 2012 final takes place in their home stadium.

Munich remain Germany's weathiest club while Borussia Dortmund were forced into modesty in recent years after almost going bankrupt.

However, relying on young talent and cheap hirings did not stop them from winning the Bundesliga title by a mile in the past season.

Juergen Klopp's young squad is almost unchanged, with Turkey midfielder Nuri Sahin the only notable departure for around 10 million euros to Real Madrid. Dortmund nvested 5.5 million in Brugge's Ivan Perisic and also got Ilkay Guendogan from Nuremberg.

SV Hamburg and Schalke, both below par last season, are also in a money-saving mood as they cut down on big and expensive rosters, with the likes of Ruud van Nisterooy leaving.

Both clubs appear set to follow Dortmund's example of breeding young and hungry talent, a move which has also led to big success in the national team.

Elsewhere, Volkswagen-backed VfL Wolfsburg spent 9 million euros on midfielder Christian Traesch and may go shopping again if they manage to sell Diego.

Runners-up Bayer Leverkusen invested 8 million euros in Germany talent Andre Schuerrle and got even more by selling Arturo Vidal to Italy's Juventus.

German automakers record rising vehicle sales in USA for Jul 2011

ADP Germany News: 03 August 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

(SeeNews) - Aug 3, 2011 - Germany's car makers reported increasing unit sales for July in the United States amid growing demand for German-made cars in the country.

BMW (ETR:BMW) delivered 26,120 vehicles in the United States in July, an increase of 11.7% from the same month a year earlier. Sales of the core BMW brand advanced 12.3% to 21,409 and the Mini smallcar brand saw volumes gain 8.9% to 4,711. The biggest rise was registered by the X3 mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV), which saw deliveries surge 295% to 2,207 units.

Daimler's (ETR:DAI) US sales increased 16.7% to 21,065 units in July, with sales of the core Mercedes-Benz brand advancing 9.4% to 19,006. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class was the best-selling model with 5,114 sold vehicles.

Porsche (ETR:PAH3) sold 2,768 units in the United States in July 2011, up 2% from the prior-year period thanks to strong demand for the Cayenne offroader, which delivered 1,342 units last month. Sales of the high-margin 911 model fell to 480 vehicles from 593 a year earlier.

Audi (ETR:NSU), part of Volkswagen (ETR:VOW), saw vehicle sales grow 17% to 9,146 units in July. The A4 was again Audi's best-selling model with 2,274 delivered vehicles.


Suzuki Motor 1Q Group Net Profit Up 24% On One-Time Gain From Sec Sales

Nikkei English News: 03 August 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

TOKYO (Dow Jones)--Suzuki Motor Corp. (7269.TO) said Wednesday that its net profit climbed 24% in the April-June quarter from a year earlier, due to an extraordinary profit from the sale of part of its securities holdings.

The car maker, which specializes in small vehicles, posted a net profit of Y18.73 billion, down from Y15.16 billion, due to the extraordinary gain, worth Y8.31 billion.

But its main business was battered by a fall in sales stemming from lower output caused by disrupted parts procurement in the aftermath of the March 11 earthquake, and the yen's appreciation. Sales revenue declined 7.5% to Y607.34 billion from Y656.28 billion.

Squeezed by hefty fixed-costs in manufacturing amid the fall in production, its operating profit fell 20% to Y25.57 billion from Y31.95 billion.

Suzuki, which enjoys a share of about half of the growing Indian car market through local subsidiary Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. (532500.BY), left unchanged its forecast for this fiscal year.

The car maker, which is allied with Volkswagen AG (VOW.XE), expects a net profit of Y50 billion, an operating profit of Y110 billion and sales of Y2.610 trillion for the full fiscal year.

The company reports earnings under Japanese accounting standards.

Business: Peter Hargreaves Executive director, Hargreaves Lansdown

The business on...

Independent (UK): 03 August 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

The City is in a bit of lather over Hargreaves Lansdown, we hear?

Well, the Financial Services Authority has announced a potential ban on payments by fund managers to online platforms that sell their products, such as HL's. Investors fear this will force HL to reshape its business model, which is why its shares fell by up to 10 per cent yesterday.

Oh dear, so Peter's cross again?

Are you referring to Mr Hargreaves' tendency to freely voice his fairly trenchant views on everything and anything? Apparently not. HL has issued a rather bland statement explaining that it is "relaxed about the short and long-term outcomes" and had a variety of "proven revenue models" if the FSA does opt for a ban.

Isn't that rather restrained?

Well HL is no longer run by Mr Hargreaves and his partner Stephen Lansdown. Ian Gorham, an accountant by trade who joined the business in 2009, is the chief executive these days. Mr Hargreaves is still a major presence though, boasting the rather nebulous title of "executive director".

What should we make of this?

Mr Hargreaves might be opinionated but he's not stupid. He's steered the the company, which started off as a two-man band, through a plethora of regulatory upheavals over the years and he'll no doubt steer it through this one too. With Mr Gorham's help of course. Citigroup issued a note yesterday suggesting the share-price fall should be viewed a buying opportunity. Shrewd.

A bit of a hit to his wallet though?

Short term, old boy. Mr Hargreaves practises what he preaches. With the exception of his flash car (a 90,000 Audi) he describes himself as a saver rather than a spender. And he puts lots of his money (including the millions he made when HL floated) into the unit trusts his company is so good at selling, rather than buying shares. Don't worry about him.

No chance of fireworks at all?

Have no fears. Mr Hargreaves, who has advocated a flat tax and has furiously described Bristol (where the company is headquartered) as "anti business", won't be quiet for too long. It's not in his nature.


News

Independent (UK): 03 August 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

THEY MAY not have known it, but users of MP3 players, CDs or DVDs have probably been breaking the law for years as they transferred their favourite song from one format to another.

Today the Business Secretary, Vince Cable, will back plans that will legalise the practice, and also give the makers of spoof videos free rein.

Under the proposals, based on recommendations made in the Hargreaves Review of Intellectual Property, the sharing of legitimately purchased media across platforms, and with immediate family members, will be allowed by law.

Under the UK's current copyright laws, transferring media from one format to another - for example, from a CD to a computer or an iPod - is illegal, even if the owner is the only person who ever uses the media. And, last year "Newport State of Mind", a popular video parodying Alicia Keys and Jay-Z's song "Empire State of Mind" was removed from YouTube after the songwriters complained that it infringed their copyright. Strict laws also govern how resources like academic journals can be used.

In his response to Professor Ian Hargreaves' review, commissioned by David Cameron to look at how copyright law should be modernised to fit in with digital advancements, Mr Cable will say that he wants to introduce "exceptions" to the UK's copyright laws. In his report, Professor Hargreaves said that sharing of legitimately purchased media across platforms and with immediate family members should be allowed by law. Professor Hargreaves also said that parodies should be excepted from copyright law.

The move is likely to be welcomed by performers, who would be allowed to spoof work without seeking permission from the copyright holder, proposals the Business Secretary will accept when he delivers his response at a conference this morning.

A Department for Business, Innovation and Skills spokesman said that thousands of people copy music privately every day, "assuming it is already legal to do so". He added: "This move will bring copyright law into line with the real world, and with consumers' reasonable expectations."

Mr Cable said: "Allowing people to create parody or satire without fear of copyright infringement has the potential to boost the creative industries and expand their freedom of expression."

. . . AND THE PARODIES THAT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY FOLLOW

Perhaps the most famous parody video to fall foul of the copyright holder was "Newport State of Mind", a spoof of Alicia Keys and Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind". Despite its popularity and "affectionate" take on the Welsh town, the songwriters demanded it be taken down.

Incensed at what it saw as "one-sided reporting" of the Gaza Flotilla clash, an Israeli group released a spoof, in which they sang "We Are the World", changing the lyrics to suggest the Gazans were conning the media. It was removed after Warner/Chappell Music, Inc complained.

When a Volkswagen ad - itself a parody of the Star Wars films - was sent up by Greenpeace, the environmental group could have been forgiven for thinking that the film studio would be charitable. But the vigilant people at LucasFilm insisted it be removed from YouTube.

The "Downfall" parody video, in which the subtitles on Hitler's rant sequence from Der Untergang are changed to parody a topical event, has become popular in recent years. Constantin films, which owns the copyright, has tried in vain to have them all removed from the internet.

European car owners rank Volvo and Renault highest

Courier Mail (Australia): 03 August 2011
[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

VOLVO and Renault drivers are the most satisfied of the one million owners of European cars in Australia.

For the 12 months to March, 94 per cent of Volvo and Renault drivers say they are satisfied with their vehicle, according to a Roy Morgan automotive report.

This is 4 percentage points above the European average. Volvo moves up from equal fourth five years ago and Renault up from equal second.

Roy Morgan spokesman Norman Morris says the number of drivers of European cars has increased 45 per cent in the past five years with almost two-thirds coming from German brands.

``It is interesting to note that (of the German brands) only Mercedes-Benz have made gains over the last five years,'' he says.

Of the remaining German brands, Audi had the strongest percentage point drop, moving from top position five years ago to equal fifth. BMW is also down, falling marginally under the 90 per cent mark.

Citroen and Saab had the biggest declines in driver satisfaction with Citroen dropping 10 percentage points and Saab five.

``This is a concerning result,'' says Morris.

``With vehicle satisfaction being one of the key drivers of brand loyalty, this is a very important measure for manufacturers to be aware of.''




 

Pune Pleased; Marc Berrocal from Spain, who shifted to the city three months ago, says Pune is a modern city and maintains its Indian roots

Marc Berrocal moved to Pune from Spain just three months ago to set up his company's Indian branch. "The Mazel Group has its headquarters in Barcelona but is spread across the world. The company specialises in transport designing and engineering. Along with designing planes and trains, we specialise in car designing and have clients like Ferrari, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Nissan, Skoda, Audi and BMW. Many of our international clients have their presence in Pune like Volkswagen, FIAT, and Mercedes-Benz while Renault is in Mumbai," says Marc. "It made sense for us to come down here to provide support to their activities," says the Spaniard, who is busy scouting for good technicians, car engineers and designers to be a part of his Pune team.

The expat, who shifted to Pune with his girlfriend (also an assistant in the company), loves Koregaon Park. "The area is green and cool. There are many European-style restaurants here. We love visiting Terttulia's as it serves red meat too. We aren't familiar with vegetarian food and don't even know what to order," says the expat, who feels Pune is a modern city and maintains its Indian roots. Another reason why he likes the place is that it's not as big as Delhi or Mumbai where you have to travel long distances and get stuck in traffic every five minutes. "But what I don't like is the infrastructure which is not prepared for the monsoons. When it's dry and clean, I love going for walks but when it rains, the city becomes a mess. I just wish they created proper pipes or drainage system," says Marc.

Talking about his own hometown, Marc explains that like Pune Barcelona is a city that welcomes everybody. "People follow the simple rule of enjoying life. We work hard but also party hard. In Pune, people only work and work all week and enjoy just on the weekends. But in Barcelona, it's common for us to finish work early and hit the beach in the afternoon even on a weekday or go for some tapas and beer after work or even to the theatre. Barcelona also has one of the best football teams in the world. Just like cricket is a passion here, football is what everybody breathes over there," says Marc, who has already made a lot of Spanish friends in Pune due to the community's large presence here.
