INTRODUCTION

The Interim Report for the period ended September 30, 2014 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and adopted by the European Union and has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting principles applied are consistent with those used for preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013, except as otherwise stated in “Accounting principles, amendments and interpretations adopted from January 1, 2014” in the Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Following the retrospective application of IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements effective January 1, 2014, figures previously reported in the statements of income and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and the statement of financial position at December 31, 2013 have been retrospectively adjusted in accordance with the requirements of IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. Further information is provided in “New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2014” in the Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

In line with the format of the Business Plan presented by the Group to the financial community on May 6, 2014, the Group no longer presents Trading Profit as a supplementary measure to assess its performances in addition to EBIT. Comparative amounts have been consistently reported.

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were €23.6 billion, an increase of €2.9 billion, or 13.8%, from €20.7 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The increase in net revenues was primarily attributable to (i) a €2.2 billion increase in NAFTA net revenues, primarily attributable to an increase in shipments, (ii) a €0.4 billion increase in APAC net revenues attributable to an increase in shipments and a favorable vehicle mix, (iii) a €0.3 billion increase in Luxury Brands net revenues primarily attributable to an increase in Maserati shipments, (iv) a €0.2 billion increase in EMEA net revenues, primarily attributable to a favorable vehicle mix and an increase in volumes which were partially offset by (v) a decrease of €0.3 billion in LATAM net revenues mainly attributable to the effect of lower vehicle shipments, partially offset by positive net pricing.

See “Results by Segments” for a detailed discussion of net revenues by segment.

Cost of sales		20,356		86.4		17,747		85.8		2,609	14.7%

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was €20.4 billion, an increase of €2.6 billion, or 14.7%, from €17.7 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2013. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of sales was 86.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 85.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The increase in cost of sales was due to the combination of (i) €1.9 billion related to increased vehicle shipments, primarily in the NAFTA, Luxury Brands and APAC segments, partially offset by a reduction in LATAM, (ii) €0.4 billion mainly related to vehicle mix primarily attributable to the EMEA segment.

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was impacted by €0.2 billion in increased warranty expenses, which included the effects of recently approved recall campaigns in the NAFTA segment.

Selling, general and administrative costs


	For the three months ended September 30,									Increase/(decrease)
(€ million, except percentages)	2014		% of net revenues			2013		% of net revenues		2014 vs. 2013
Selling, general and administrative costs		1,717		7.3	%		1,580		7.6		137	8.7%

Selling, general and administrative costs include advertising, personnel, and other costs. Advertising costs accounted for approximately 44% and 40% of total selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were €1,717 million, an increase of €137 million, or 8.7%, from €1,580 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative costs were 7.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 7.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The increase in selling, general and administrative costs was almost entirely attributable to a €122 million increase in advertising expenses primarily driven by the NAFTA and APAC segments and, to a lesser extent, the Luxury Brands and EMEA segments. In particular, increased advertising expenses have been incurred in order to support the launches of new vehicles in NAFTA including the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee and the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 as well as the growth of the business in the APAC and Luxury Brands segments. Additionally, advertising expenses increased in EMEA to support vehicle launches, primarily the all-new 2014 Jeep Renegade.

The increase in other selling, general and administrative costs was mainly attributable to the LATAM segment, primarily related to start-up costs of the Pernambuco plant.

Research and development costs

Write-down of costs previously capitalized		2		—			—		—			2	—
Research and development costs		598		2.5	%		556		2.7	%		42	7.6	%

Research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were €598 million, an increase of €42 million, or 7.6%, from €556 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development costs were 2.5% and 2.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The increase in research and development costs was attributable to the combined effects of (i) an increase in the amortization of previously capitalized development costs of €55 million and (ii) an increase in write-down of costs previously capitalized of €2 million, which were partially offset by (iii) a decrease in research and development costs expensed during the period of €15 million.

As a result of the nature of the projects the Group is currently investing in, the research and development costs capitalized as a percentage of total spending on research and development¹ increased for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, and as such, even though spending on research and development increased from €805 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to €857 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, research and development costs expensed decreased by €15 million, largely attributable to the NAFTA segment.

The increase in amortization of capitalized development costs was attributable to the launch of new products, and in particular related to the NAFTA segment, driven by the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which began shipping to dealers in late October 2013, and the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200, which was launched in the first quarter of 2014, and began arriving in dealerships in May 2014.

The increase in EBIT was primarily attributable to the combined effect of (i) a €70 million increase in APAC EBIT, (ii) a €48 million increase in Luxury brands EBIT, (iii) a €53 million decrease in EMEA EBIT loss and (iv) a €13 million increase in NAFTA EBIT, which were partially offset by (v) a €118 million decrease in LATAM EBIT.

Net financial expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were €511 million, an increase of €18 million, or 3.7%, from €493 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Excluding the gain on the stock option-related equity swaps of €24 million recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2013, net financial expenses were substantially unchanged period on period, primarily as a result of the benefits from the recent Chrysler refinancing transaction completed in February which offset the impact of a higher average debt level.

(€ million, except percentages)	2014		2013		2014 vs. 2013

Tax expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were €227 million, an increase of €47 million, or 26.1%, from €180 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, principally due to higher deferred tax expenses compared to the prior year. At December 31, 2013, previously unrecognized deferred tax assets of €1,500 million were recognized, principally related to tax loss carry forwards and temporary differences in the NAFTA operations. In the three months ended September 2014, the utilization of a part of these temporary differences resulted in a higher deferred tax expense as compared to the prior year.

Net revenues		69,006		62,681		6,325	10.1	%

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were €69.0 billion, an increase of €6.3 billion, or 10.1% (13.4% on a constant currency basis), from €62.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The increase in net revenues was primarily attributable to (i) a €4.7 billion increase in NAFTA net revenues, related to an increase in shipments and improved vehicle and distribution channel mix, which was only partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation effect, (ii) a €1.4 billion increase in Luxury Brands net revenues primarily attributable to an increase in Maserati shipments, (iii) a €1.3 billion increase in APAC net revenues attributable to an increase in shipments and improved vehicle mix, and (iv) an increase of €0.3 billion in Components net revenues, which were partially offset by (v) a decrease of €1.4 billion in LATAM net revenues. The decrease in LATAM net revenues was attributable to the combined effect of lower vehicle shipments and unfavorable foreign currency translation effect related to the weakening of the Brazilian Real against the Euro, only partially offset by positive pricing and vehicle mix. EMEA net revenues were substantially unchanged, amounting to €13.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to €12.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

See “Results by Segments” for a detailed discussion of net revenues by segment.

Cost of sales

(€ million, except percentages)	2014		% of net revenues			2013		% of net revenues			2014 vs. 2013
Cost of sales		59,694		86.5	%		53,706		85.7	%		5,988	11.1	%

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was €59.7 billion, an increase of €6.0 billion, or 11.1% (14.5% on a constant currency basis), from €53.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of sales was 86.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 85.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the combination of (i) €5.3 billion related to increased vehicle shipments, primarily in the NAFTA, APAC, Luxury Brands and EMEA segments, partially offset by a reduction in LATAM shipments, (ii) €1.5 billion related to vehicle and distribution channel mix primarily attributable to the NAFTA segment, and (iii) €0.4 billion arising from price increases for certain raw materials primarily in LATAM, which were partially offset by (v) favorable foreign currency translation effect of €1.8 billion.

Management discussion and analysis 8

In particular, the €1.5 billion increase in cost of sales related to vehicle and distribution channel mix was primarily driven by the higher percentage of growth in certain SUV and truck shipments as compared to passenger car shipments, and an increase in retail shipments relative to fleet shipments in NAFTA.

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased by €0.5 billion due an increase of warranty expenses, which also included the effects of recently approved recall campaigns in the NAFTA segment.

The favorable foreign currency translation impact of €1.8 billion was primarily attributable to the NAFTA and LATAM segments, driven by the weakening of the U.S. Dollar and the Brazilian Real against the Euro.

Selling, general and administrative costs include advertising, personnel, and other costs. Advertising costs accounted for approximately 44% and 42% of total selling, general and administrative costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively.

Selling, general and administrative costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were €5,151 million, an increase of €309 million, or 6.4%, from €4,842 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative costs were 7.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 7.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The increase in selling, general and administrative costs was due to the combined effects of (i) a €299 million increase in advertising expenses driven primarily by the APAC, NAFTA and EMEA segments, (ii) a €159 million increase in other selling, general and administrative costs primarily attributable to the Luxury Brands and to a lesser extent to LATAM and APAC segments which were partially offset by (iii) the impact of favorable foreign currency translation of €149 million.

In particular, the increase in advertising expenses was largely attributable to the APAC and NAFTA segment to support the growth of the business in their respective markets and, in NAFTA, related to new product launches, including the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee and the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200, while the increase in advertising expenses for the EMEA segment were driven by new launches, including the all-new Jeep Renegade. The favorable foreign currency translation impact of €149 million was primarily attributable to the NAFTA and LATAM segments, driven by the weakening of the U.S. Dollar and the Brazilian Real against the Euro.

The increase in other selling, general and administrative costs attributable to the Luxury Brands segment has been driven by the increase in Maserati volumes. The increase in other selling, general and administrative costs attributable to the APAC segment was driven by volume growth in the region, while the increase in the LATAM segment includes the start-up costs of the Pernambuco plant and an increase in personnel costs.

Research and development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were €1,825 million, an increase of €210 million, or 13.0%, from €1,615 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development costs were 2.6% both for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

The increase in research and development costs was attributable to the combined effects of (i) an increase in the amortization of previously capitalized development costs of €167million, (ii) an increase in research and development costs expensed during the period of €29 million and (iii) an increase in write-down of costs previously capitalized of €14 million.

Research and development costs capitalized as a percentage of total spending on research and development were unchanged for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Spending on research and development amounted to €2,548 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of 2.9%, from €2,477 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, resulting in a 2.9% increase in research and development costs expensed.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Other unusual income/(expenses) amounted to net expenses of €405 million, primarily relating to the €495 million expense recognized in the NAFTA segment in connection with the execution of the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”) Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) which was entered into by Chrysler on January 21, 2014, which was partially offset by the non-cash and non-taxable gain of €223 million in Other activities on the re-measurement to fair value of the previously exercised options on approximately 10% of Chrysler’s membership interest in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement. In addition, Other unusual expenses include a €98 million re-measurement charge recognized in the LATAM segment as a result of the Group’s change in the exchange rate used to re-measure its Venezuelan subsidiary’s net monetary assets in U.S. Dollar, based on developments in the first quarter 2014 related to the foreign exchange process in Venezuela. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 Other unusual expenses also included the €15 million compensation costs deriving from the resignation of the former Ferrari chairman.

Other unusual expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily related to (i) a €59 million foreign currency exchange loss recognized related to the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar (“VEF”) relative to the U.S. Dollar in February 2013 and (ii) a €115 million charge related to the June 2013 voluntary safety recall for the 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty, as well as the customer satisfaction action for the 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, partially offset by (iii) the impacts of a curtailment gain and plan amendments of €166 million with a corresponding net reduction pension obligation in NAFTA.

Three months ended September 30, 2014

NAFTA net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were €13.1 billion, an increase of €2.2 billion, or 19.8%, from €11.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in shipments of €2.0 billion.

In particular, the 21.4% increase in vehicle shipments from 505 thousand units for the three months ended September 30, 2013, to 613 thousand units for the three months ended September 30, 2014, was largely driven by increased demand for the Group’s vehicles, including the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee, the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in the prior model year Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger shipments due to their discontinued production in the first quarter of 2014 in preparation for the launch and

Management discussion and analysis 13

changeover to the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200. NAFTA net revenues were also impacted by improved net pricing of €0.1 billion which was due to favorable pricing and pricing for enhanced content, partially offset by incentive spending on certain vehicles in portfolio.

EBIT

NAFTA EBIT for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was €549 million, an increase of €13 million, or 2.4% (3.9% on a constant currency basis) from €536 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The increase in NAFTA EBIT was primarily attributable to the combination of the (i) the favorable volume/mix impact of €405 million, driven by the previously described increase in shipments (ii) favorable net pricing of €126 million which was due to favorable pricing and pricing for enhanced content, partially offset by incentive spending on certain vehicles in portfolio. These positive impacts were partially offset by (iii) increased industrial costs of €466 million due to an increase in warranty expenses of €282 million which included the effects of recently approved recall campaigns and, increased base material costs of €165 million, mainly referred to higher base material costs associated with vehicles and components and content enhancements on new models, and (iv) a €27 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs largely attributable to higher advertising costs to support new vehicle launches, including the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee and the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200.

Nine months ended September 30, 2014

Net revenues

NAFTA net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were €37.1 billion, an increase of €4.7 billion, or 14.3% (17.6% on a constant currency basis), from €32.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The total increase of €4.7 billion was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in shipments of €4.2 billion, (ii) favorable market and vehicle mix of €1.4 billion, (iii) favorable net pricing of €0.1 billion, partially offset by (iv) unfavorable foreign currency translation effect of €1.1 billion.

The 15.0% increase in vehicle shipments from 1,587 thousand units for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to 1,825 thousand units for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was largely driven by increased demand of the Group’s vehicles, including the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee, Ram pickups and the Jeep Grand Cherokee. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in the prior model year Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger shipments due to their discontinued production in the first quarter of 2014 in preparation for the launch and changeover to the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200, which began arriving in dealerships in May 2014.

Of the favorable mix impact of €1.4 billion, €1.1 billion related to vehicle mix due to higher proportion of trucks and certain SUVs as compared to passenger cars (as these larger vehicles generally have a higher selling price), and €0.3 billion related to a shift in distribution channel mix to greater retail shipments as a percentage of total shipments, which is consistent with the continuing strategy to grow U.S. retail market share while maintaining stable fleet shipments.

Favorable net pricing of €0.1 billion reflected favorable pricing and pricing for enhanced content, partially offset by incentive spending on certain vehicles in portfolio

These increases were partially offset by the impact of the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro. In particular, the average exchange rate used to translate balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was 2.9% lower than the average exchange rate used for the same period in 2013, which impacted net revenues by €1.1 billion.

EBIT

NAFTA EBIT for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was €1,030 million, a decrease of €639 million, or 38.3% (36.4% on a constant currency basis) from EBIT of €1,669 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The decrease in NAFTA EBIT was primarily attributable to the combination of the (i) increased industrial costs of €1,171 million (ii) an increase of €569 million in other unusual expenses and (iii) a €97 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs largely attributable to higher advertising costs to support new vehicle launches, including the all-new

2014 Jeep Cherokee and the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200, partially offset by (iv) the favorable volume/mix impact of €1,122 million, driven by the previously described increase in shipments , and (v) favorable net pricing of €106 million due to favorable pricing and pricing for enhanced content, partially offset by incentive spending on certain vehicles in portfolio.

The increase in industrial costs was attributable to an increase in warranty expenses of €527 million which included the effects of recently approved recall campaigns, an increase in base material costs of €743 million mainly referred to higher base material costs associated with vehicles and components and content enhancements on new models and €224 million in higher research and development costs and depreciation and amortization.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, unusual items were negative by €499 million primarily reflecting the €495 million charge in Q1 2014 connected with the UAW Memorandum of Understanding entered into by Chrysler on January 21, 2014.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, unusual items were positive by €70 million, primarily including (i) a €115 million charge related to the June 2013 voluntary safety recall for the 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty, as well as the customer satisfaction action for the 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, partially offset by (ii) the impacts of a curtailment gain and plan amendments of €166 million with a corresponding net reduction pension obligation in NAFTA.

The total decrease of €0.3 billion was primarily attributable to (i) lower shipments of €0.4 billion, partially offset by (ii) net pricing of €0.1 billion.

The 14.0% decrease in vehicle shipments from 235 thousand units for the three months ended September 30, 2013, to 202 thousand units for the three months ended September 30, 2014, was largely a result of weaker trading conditions.

EBIT

LATAM EBIT for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was €51 million, a decrease of €118 million, or 69.8% (66.3% on a constant currency basis), from €169 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The decrease in LATAM EBIT was primarily attributable to the combination of (i) unfavorable volume/mix impact of €94 million attributable to a decrease in shipments, partially offset by improved vehicle mix (ii) increased industrial costs of €83 million, including start-up costs of the Pernambuco plant, partially offset by (iii) favorable pricing of €98 million driven by pricing actions in Brazil and Argentina.

Nine months ended September 30, 2014

Net revenues

LATAM net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were €6.3 billion, a decrease of €1.4 billion, or 18.5% (10.5% on a constant currency basis), from €7.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The total decrease of €1.4 billion was attributable to (i) a decrease of €1.2 billion driven by lower shipments of, and (ii) unfavorable foreign currency translation of €0.6 billion, which were partially offset by (iii) favorable net pricing and vehicle mix of €0.4 billion.

The 15.6% decrease in vehicle shipments from 723 thousand units for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to 610 thousand units for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was largely as a result of the weaker trading conditions. The weakening of the Brazilian Real against the Euro impacted net revenues by €0.6 billion, in particular, the average exchange rate used to translate Brazilian Real balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was 11.1% lower than the average exchange rate used for the same period in 2013.

EBIT

LATAM EBIT for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was €64 million, a decrease of €456 million, or 87.7% (80.4% on a constant currency basis), from €520 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The decrease in LATAM EBIT was primarily attributable to the combination of (i) unfavorable volume/mix impact of €242 million attributable to a decrease in shipments, partially offset by an improvement in vehicle mix in Brazil, (ii) an increase in industrial costs of €341 million largely attributable to price increases for certain foreign currency denominated purchases, which were impacted by the weakening of the Brazilian Real, (iii) a €50 million increase in other unusual expenses and (iv) the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation of €38 million attributable to the weakening of the Brazilian Real against the Euro, partially offset by (v) favorable pricing of €234 million driven by pricing actions in Brazil and Argentina.

Management discussion and analysis 16

In particular, LATAM net other unusual expenses amounted to €105 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, including €96 million for the re-measurement charge on the Venezuelan subsidiary’s net monetary assets, compared to €43 million relating to the loss recognized on translation of certain monetary liabilities from Venezuelan Bolivar into U.S. Dollar.

The total increase of €0.4 billion was primarily attributable to increase in shipments and improved mix.

The 22.2% increase in vehicle shipments, from 45 thousand units for the three months ended September 30, 2013, to 55 thousand units for the three months ended September 30, 2014, was largely supported by shipments to China and Australia, and in particular, driven by the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Cherokee, as well as the continuing development of Fiat brand in Australia.

APAC Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were €4.6 billion, an increase of €1.3 billion, or 38% (42.6% on a constant currency basis), from €3.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The total increase of €1.3 billion was primarily attributable to an increase in shipments.

The 41.7% increase in shipments from 115 thousand units for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to 163 thousand units for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was largely supported by shipments to China and Australia, and in particular, driven by the newly-launched Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Journey.

EBIT

APAC EBIT for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was €410 million, an increase of €126 million, or 44.4% (49.3% on a constant currency basis) from €284 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The increase in APAC EBIT was primarily attributable to (i) positive volume/mix impact of €418 million as a result of the previously described increase in shipments, partially offset by (ii) an increase in selling, general and administrative costs of €120 million to support the growth of the APAC operations, (iii) an increase in industrial costs of €54 million due to higher research and development costs, increased fixed manufacturing costs for new product initiatives and higher production volumes, (iv) unfavorable pricing of €90 million due to the increasingly competitive trading environment, particularly in China, and (v) unfavorable foreign currency translation and others of €14 million.

EMEA net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were €4.1 billion, an increase of €0.2 billion, or 6.2%, from €3.8 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The total increase was primarily attributable to an improved vehicle mix and an increase in shipments.

The 3.3% increase in shipments from 211 thousand units for the three months ended September, 30, 2013 to 218 thousand units for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was driven by a 1% increase in passenger car shipments and a 13% increase in LCV (Light Commercial Vehicles) shipments, while the improved vehicle mix was driven by LCVs and Jeep brand.

EMEA EBIT loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was €63 million, an improvement of €53 million, or 45.7% from an EBIT loss of €116 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The decrease in EMEA EBIT loss was primarily attributable to the combination of (i) a favorable volume/mix impact of €66 million driven by the performance of the Fiat 500 family, new Fiat Ducato and the Jeep brand, and (ii) a decrease in net industrial costs of €19 million mainly driven by industrial efficiencies which were partially offset by (iii) unfavorable pricing of €20 million as a result of competition in passenger cars segment, and (iv) an increase in selling, general and administrative costs of €11 million mainly related to advertising expenses to support Jeep growth and the Jeep Renegade launch.

Nine months ended September 30, 2014

Net revenues

EMEA net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were €13.0 billion, an increase of €0.1 billion, or 0.8%, from €12.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The €0.1 billion increase in EMEA net revenues was mainly attributable to the combination of (i) a €0.3 billion increase in vehicle shipments, (ii) a€0.1 billion favorable sales mix impact primarily driven by Jeep brand sales, partially offset by lower used car volumes and parts sales, partially offset by (iii) unfavorable pricing of €0.1 billion due to the increasingly competitive trading environment particularly related to passenger cars in Europe and (iv) €0.1 billion lower components sales.

In particular, the 2.7% increase in vehicle shipments, from 743 thousand units for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to 763 thousand units for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was largely driven by the Fiat 500 family, the Jeep brand and the new Fiat Ducato.

EMEA EBIT loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was €141 million, an improvement of €151 million, or 51.7% (52.7% on a constant currency basis), from an EBIT loss of €292 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The decrease in EMEA EBIT loss was primarily attributable to the combination of (i) a favorable volume/mix impact of €171 million driven by the previously described increase in shipments and improved vehicle mix, (ii) a decrease in net industrial costs of €103 million mainly driven by industrial and purchasing efficiencies, which were partially offset by (iii) unfavorable pricing of €92 million as a result of the competitive trading environment and resulting price pressure and (iv) an increase in selling, general and administrative costs of €20 million mainly related to advertising expenses primarily to support the growth of Jeep brand and the Jeep Renegade launch.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total Available Liquidity

At September 30, 2014, total available liquidity was €21.7 billion (€22.7 billion at December 31, 2013), including €3.1 billion available under undrawn committed credit lines, related to the €2.1 billion three year syndicated revolving credit line of FCA and the U.S.$1.3 billion (approximately €1 billion) revolving credit facility of Chrysler, maturing May 24, 2016, or the Revolving Credit Facility. The terms of the Revolving Credit Facility require Chrysler to maintain a minimum liquidity of U.S.$3.0 billion, which include any undrawn amounts under this facility. Total available liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents which are subject to intra-month, foreign exchange and seasonal fluctuations, as well as current securities.

The following table summarizes total available liquidity:


(€ million)	At September 30, 2014		*At December 31, 2013^()**
Cash, cash equivalents and current securities⁽¹⁾		18,608		19,702
Undrawn committed credit lines⁽²⁾		3,133		3,043

Total available liquidity⁽³⁾		21,741		22,745

(*)

Adjusted for the retrospective application of IFRS 11: Cash, cash equivalents and current securities: +€16 million.

(1)

Current securities comprise short term or marketable securities which represent temporary investments but which do not satisfy all the requirements to be classified as cash equivalents as they may not be readily converted into cash or they are subject to risk of change in value (even if they are short-term in nature or marketable).

(2)

Excludes the €1.7 billion medium/long-term dedicated credit lines available to fund scheduled investments.

(3)

The majority of the liquidity is available to Group’s treasury operations in Europe, U.S and Brazil; however, liquidity is also available to certain subsidiaries which operate in other areas. Cash held in such countries may be subject to restrictions on transfer depending on the foreign jurisdictions in which these subsidiaries operate.

Liquidity is principally denominated in U.S. Dollars and in Euro. Out of the total €18.6 billion of cash, cash equivalents and current securities available September 30, 2014 (€19.7 billion at December 31, 2013), €9 billion, or 49% were denominated in U.S. Dollars (€8.3 billion or 42% at December 31, 2013) and €4.5 billion or 24% were denominated in Euro (€6.1 billion or 31% at December 31, 2013). Liquidity available in Brazil and denominated in Brazilian Reals accounted for €1.6 billion or 8% at September 30, 2014 (€1.5 billion or 8% at December 31, 2013), with the remainder being distributed in various countries and denominated in the relevant local currencies.

The decrease in total available liquidity from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014 primarily reflects a €1,060 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Refer to “Cash Flows,” below for additional information regarding the change in cash and cash equivalents.

In connection with FCA’s capital planning to support its 2014-2018 business plan, on October 29, 2014 FCA has announced its intention to eliminate any contractual terms limiting the free flow of capital among FCA and its consolidated subsidiaries. As a result, FCA expects to redeem each series of Chrysler Group’s outstanding Secured Senior Notes no later than at its initial optional redemption date of June 2015 for Chrysler Group’s 8% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 and June 2016 for Chrysler Group’s 8-1/4% Secured Senior Notes due 2021. FCA also expects to refinance the Chrysler Group term loans and revolving credit facility at or before this time.

Cash flows from operating activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash from operating activities was €4,250 million and was primarily the result of:

•

a net profit of €212 million adjusted to add back (a) €3,599 million for depreciation and amortization expense and (b) other non-cash items of €197 million, which primarily includes (i) €372 million related to the non-cash portion of the expense recognized in connection with the execution of the MOU Agreement entered into by the UAW and Chrysler on January 21, 2014 (ii) €98 million re-measurement charge recognized as a result of the Group’s change in the exchange rate used to re-measure its Venezuelan subsidiary’s net monetary assets in U.S. Dollars (reported, for the effect on cash and cash equivalents, in the “Translation exchange differences”) which were partially offset by (iii) the non-taxable gain of €223 million on the re-measurement at fair value of the previously exercised options on approximately 10% of Chrysler’s membership interests in connection with the equity purchase agreement (see Note 7 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further information);

•

a net increase of €689 million in provisions, mainly related to: (i) net adjustments to warranties, including those related to recent recall campaigns in the NAFTA segment and (ii) increase provision for sales incentives in connection to the increased retail shipments, primarily in the NAFTA segment; and

•

€60 million of dividends received from jointly-controlled entities.

These positive contributions were partially offset by the negative impact of the change in working capital of €726 million primarily driven by (a) €1,010 million increase in inventory (net of vehicles sold under buy-back commitments and GDP vehicles) due to increased production and sales levels for all regions and Luxury Brands, (b) €350 million increase in trade receivables, principally in NAFTA following the increased shipments at the end of September 2014 as compared to the end of December 2013 as a result of the annual plant shutdowns, and (c) €90 million in net other current assets and liabilities which was partially offset by (d) €724 million increase in trade payables, mainly related to increased production in NAFTA.

The translation exchange differences in the period were positive for €886 million and mainly reflect the increase in Euro translated value of USD denominated cash and cash equivalent balances, due the appreciation of the USD.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash from operating activities was €3,822 million and was primarily the result of:

•

net profit of €655 million adjusted to add back (a) €3,394 million for depreciation and amortization expense and (b) other non-cash items of €33 million, which primarily reflect the reversal of non-cash profit and loss items, including the €55 million foreign currency exchange losses recognized in relation to the February 2013 devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar and the €56 million gain arising on the fair value measurement of the equity swaps on Fiat S.p.A. and CNH Industrial N.V. ordinary shares which expired at the end of 2013.

•

€93 million of dividends received from jointly-controlled entities.

Management discussion and analysis 25

These positive contributions were partially offset by

•

€224 million net decrease in provisions mainly related to the decrease of Provisions for Employee benefits following the interim remeasurement and amendment of certain defined benefit pension plan of Chrysler which occurred in the second quarter 2013; and

•

the negative impact of change in working capital of €205 million primarily driven by (a) €1,772 million increase in inventory (net of vehicles sold under buy-back commitments) in relation to the reduction in business volume in EMEA during the third quarter and a temporary increase in inventory associated with the preparation for new product shipment in NAFTA and (b) a €207 million increase in trade receivables, primarily due to increased sales volumes in NAFTA and APAC which were partially offset by a (c) €1,299 million increase in trade payables, mainly related to increased production in NAFTA as a result of increased consumer demand for vehicles in this region and (d) €475 million in net other current assets and liabilities mainly referred to higher amounts payable to customers relating to buy-back agreements.

The translation exchange differences in the period were negative for €525 million, mainly reflecting the USD and BRL depreciation against the Euro.

Cash flows (used in) investing activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash used in investing activities was €5,119 million and was primarily the result of:

•

€5,350 million of capital expenditures, including €1,521 million of capitalized development costs, to support investments in existing and future products. Capital expenditure primarily relates to the mass-market operations in NAFTA and EMEA and the ongoing construction of the new plant at Pernambuco, Brazil, partially offset by

•

€128 million of a net decrease in receivables from financing activities, of which €163 million related to the decreased lending portfolio of the financial services activities of the Group and €41 million related to increased financial receivables due from jointly controlled financial services companies.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash used in investing activities was €5,759 million, and was primarily the result of:

•

€5,284 million of capital expenditures, including €1,479 million of capitalized development costs, to support investments in existing and future products.; and

•

€402 million of net increase in receivables from financing activities mainly related to the increased lending portfolio of the financial services activities of the Group in LATAM.

Cash flows from/(used in) financing activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash used in financing activities was €1,077 million and was primarily the result of:

•

Cash payment to the VEBA Trust for the acquisition of the remaining approximately 41.5% ownership interest in Chrysler held by the VEBA Trust equal to U.S.$3.65 billion (€2.69 billion) and U.S.$60 million (€45 million) of tax distribution by Chrysler to cover the VEBA Trust’s tax obligation. In particular the consideration for the acquisition consisted of a special distribution paid by Chrysler to its members on January 21, 2014 of U.S. $1.9 billion, or €1.4 billion (FNA’s portion of the special distribution was assigned to the VEBA Trust as part of the purchase consideration) which served to fund a portion of the transaction; and a cash payment by FNA to the VEBA Trust of U.S.$1.75 billion or €1.3 billion. The special distribution by Chrysler and the cash payment by FNA for an aggregate amount of €2,691 million is classified as acquisition of non-controlling interest on the cash flow statement while the tax distribution (€45 million) is classified separately,

•

payment of medium-term borrowings for a total of €5,241 million, mainly related to the prepayment of all amounts under the VEBA Trust Note amounting to approximately U.S.$5 billion (€3.5 billion), including accrued and unpaid interest, and repayment of medium term borrowings primarily in Brazil;

•

the repayment on maturity of notes issued under the GMTN Program, for a total principal amount of €2,150 million; which were partially offset by

•

proceeds from new medium-term borrowings for a total of €3,950 million, which include (a) the incremental term loan entered into by Chrysler of U.S.$ 250 million (€181 million) under its existing tranche B term loan facility and (b) the new U.S.$ 1.75 billion tranche B, issued under a new term loan credit facility entered into by Chrysler as part of the refinancing transaction to facilitate repayment of the VEBA Trust Note, and new medium term borrowing in Brazil; and

•

a positive net contribution of €509 million from the net change in other financial payables and other financial assets/liabilities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash from financing activities was €1,638 million and was primarily the result of:

Net Industrial Debt

Due to different sources of cash flows used for the repayment of the financial debt between industrial activities and financial services (by cash from operations for industrial activities and by collection of financial receivables for financial services) and the different business structure and leverage implications, a separate analysis of Net Debt between Industrial Activities and Financial Services is provided hereinafter.

The division between Industrial Activities and Financial Services represents a sub-consolidation based on the core business activities (industrial or financial services) of each Group company. The sub-consolidation for Industrial Activities also includes companies that perform centralized treasury activities (i.e., raising funding in the market and financing Group companies), but do not, however, provide financing to third parties. Financial Services includes companies that provide retail and dealer finance, leasing and rental services in support of the mass-market brands in certain geographical segments, and for the Luxury Brands.

All Chrysler activities are included under Industrial Activities. Since Chrysler’s treasury activities (including funding and cash management) are managed separately from the rest of the Group the analysis of Net Industrial Debt split between FCA excluding Chrysler and Chrysler is also provided.

Net Industrial Debt (i.e., Net Debt of Industrial Activities) is management’s primary measure for analyzing the Group’s financial leverage and capital structure and is one of the key targets used to measure the Group’s performance.

(*)

Adjusted for retrospective application of IFRS 11: net debt of FCA ex-Chrysler Industrial Activities increased by €365 million.

(1)

Includes Bond and other securities issued in financial markets

(2)

Includes Canadian HCT notes, IFRIC4 – Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease and other financial payables, Asset-backed financing. As of December 31, 2013 includes the VEBA Trust Note.

(3)

Includes adjustments for hedge accounting on debt and (accrued)/unearned interest and other amortizing cost adjustments

(4)

Net value between financial receivables to Financial Services (€1,587 million at 30 September, 2014; €1,465 million at 31 December 2013) and financial payables to Financial Services (€121 million at 30 September, 2014; €129 million at 31 December 2013).

(5)

Financial receivables from FGA Capital Group

(6)

Fair value of derivative financial instruments and collateral deposits

In addition to their other activities, treasury companies of FCA excluding Chrysler raise funds for consolidated Financial Services companies by incurring debt on their behalf and on-lending it to those companies. Since debt, cash and other financial assets/liabilities pertaining to Financial Services entities are not included in the calculation of Net Debt for Industrial Activities, loans from the treasury companies of FCA excluding Chrysler (which are included in Industrial Activities) to the consolidated Financial Services companies are included under “Intercompany financial receivables/payables (net)” and are deducted in the calculation of net debt for Industrial Activities.

“Intercompany financial receivables/payables (net)” also includes amounts owed to Financial Services by Industrial Activities companies representing deposits with Group treasury as well as advances for receivables sold.

Change in Net Industrial Debt

In the nine months ended September 30, 2014 net industrial debt increased by €4,358 million, from €7,014 million at December 31, 2013 to €11,372 million at September 30, 2014. The increase in net industrial debt was driven by:

•

payments for the acquisition of the approximately 41.5% interest, inclusive of approximately 10% of previously exercised options subject to ongoing litigation, in Chrysler of €2,691 million equivalent (U.S.$ 3,650 million).

Management discussion and analysis 29

•

investments in industrial activities of €5,348 million representing all of the Group’s investments;

•

unfavorable currency translation effects of €140 million and other effects, principally the change in value of hedging derivatives; offset by

•

cash flow from industrial operating activities of €4,192 million which represents the consolidated cash flow from operating activities of €4,250 million net of the cash flows from operating activities attributable to financial services. For an explanation of the drivers in consolidated cash flows from operating activities see the “Cash Flows” section above.

NOTES

THE FCA MERGER

On January 29, 2014, the Board of Directors of Fiat S.p.A. approved a proposed corporate reorganization resulting in the formation of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (“FCA”) and decided to establish FCA, organized in the Netherlands, as the parent company of the Group with its principal executive offices in the United Kingdom.

FCA was incorporated as a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) under the laws of the Netherlands on April 1, 2014 under the name Fiat Investments N.V. The issued share capital of the company was €350,000, fully paid and divided into 35,000,000 common shares having a nominal value of €0.01 each.

On June 15, 2014, the Board of Directors of Fiat S.p.A. approved the terms of a cross-border legal merger of Fiat S.p.A., the parent of the Group, into its 100 percent owned direct subsidiary Fiat Investments N.V. which, upon completion of the merger, was renamed Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (the “Merger”). At that time, Fiat S.p.A. ordinary shares were listed on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (“MTA”) organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A (“MTA”), as well as Euronext Paris and Frankfurt stock exchange.

The completion of the Merger was subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

the approval for listing of the FCA common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”);

no injunction or court order prohibiting the Merger;

a cap equal to a maximum €500 million in the aggregate, in connection with the amount of cash to be paid (i) under Article 2437-quater of the Italian Civil Code (the “Cash Exit Rights”) to Fiat shareholders exercising the Cash Exit Rights, and/or (ii) to creditors exercising their creditor opposition rights, and

the approval by the Fiat Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders.

Fiat shareholders voted and approved the Merger at their extraordinary general meeting held on August 1, 2014. After this approval, Fiat shareholders not voting in favor of the Merger were entitled to exercise the Cash Exit Right by August 20, 2014. The redemption price payable to these shareholders was €7.727 per share (the “Exit Price”), equivalent to the average daily closing price published by Borsa Italiana for the six months prior to the date of the notice calling the meeting).

On October 7, 2014, Fiat announced that all conditions precedent to completion of the Merger were satisfied:

•

on October 6, 2014, the NYSE provided notice that the listing of FCA common shares was approved subject to issuance of these shares upon effectiveness of the Merger. On the same day Borsa Italiana S.p.A. approved the listing of the common shares of FCA on the MTA,

•

the creditors’ opposition period provided under the Italian law expired on October 4, 2014, and no creditors’ oppositions were filed, and

•

the Cash Exit Rights were exercised for a total of 60,002,027 Fiat shares equivalent to an aggregate amount of €463,635,662.63 at the Exit Price. Pursuant to the Italian Civil Code, these shares were offered to Fiat shareholders not having exercised the Cash Exit Rights, On October 7, 2014, at the completion of the offer period Fiat shareholders elected to purchase 6,085,630 shares out of the total of 60,002,027; as a result, concurrent with the Merger, on October 12, 2014, n. 53,916,397 Fiat shares were cancelled in the Merger with a net aggregate cash disbursement of €417 million.

As a consequence, the Merger became effective on October 12, 2014. On October 13, 2014 FCA common shares commenced trading on the NYSE and on the MTA. The last day of trading of Fiat ordinary shares on the MTA, Euronext France and Deutsche Börse was October 10, 2014. The Merger is recognized in FCA’s annual accounts from January 1, 2014, FCA, as successor of Fiat S.p.A. is now therefore the parent company of the Group. There will be no accounting effects as a direct result of the Merger.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at September 30, 2014 37

AUTHORIZATION OF INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

These interim consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2014 together with the notes thereto (the “Interim Consolidated Financial Statements”) of FCA were authorized for issuance on November 5, 2014 and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim financial reporting. The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Fiat annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “ Fiat Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013”), which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. IFRS is defined to be International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and adopted by the European Union¹. The designation “IFRS” also includes all valid International Accounting Standards (“IAS”), as well as all interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee, formerly the Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) and then the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those used at December 31, 2013, except as described in the following paragraph – New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2014.

BASIS OF PREPARATION FOR INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management’s best judgment at the date of these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change. Reference should be made to the section – Use of estimates in the Fiat Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013 for a detailed description of the more significant valuation procedures used by the Group.

Moreover, certain valuation procedures, in particular those of a more complex nature regarding matters such as any impairment of non-current assets, are only carried out in full during the preparation of the annual financial statements, when all the information required is available, other than in the event that there are indications of impairment, when an immediate assessment is necessary. In the same way, the actuarial valuations that are required for the determination of employee benefit provisions are also usually carried out during the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, unless in the event of significant market fluctuation, plan amendments or curtailments and settlements.

The recognition of income taxes is based upon the best estimate of the actual tax rate expected for the full financial year for each entity included in the scope of consolidation.

Format of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For presentation of the Interim Consolidated Income Statement, the Group uses a classification based on the function of expenses, rather than based on their nature, as it is more representative of the format used for internal reporting and management purposes and is consistent with international practice in the automotive sector.

The Group presents a subtotal for Earnings before Interest and Taxes (EBIT). EBIT distinguishes between the Profit before taxes arising from operating items and those arising from financing activities. EBIT is the primary measure used by the Chief Executive Officer to assess the performance of and allocate resources to the operating segments.

In line with the format of the Business Plan presented by the Group to the financial community on May 6, 2014, the Group no longer presents Trading Profit as a supplementary performance assessment measure in addition to EBIT. Comparative amounts have been consistently reported.

For the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, a mixed format has been selected to present current and non-current assets and liabilities, as permitted by IAS 1 paragraph 60. More specifically, the Group’s consolidated financial statements include both industrial and financial services companies. The investment portfolios of the financial services companies are included in current assets, as the investments will be realized in their normal operating cycle. However, the financial services companies obtain only a portion of their funding from the market; the remainder is obtained from Group operating companies through the Group’s treasury companies (included within the industrial companies), which provide funding to both industrial and financial services companies in the Group, as the need arises. This financial services structure within the Group does not allow the separation of financial liabilities funding the financial services operations (whose assets are reported within current assets) and those funding the industrial operations. Presentation of financial liabilities as current or non-current based on their date of maturity would not facilitate a meaningful comparison with financial assets, which are classified on the basis of their normal operating cycle.

¹	At the date of these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, no impact would arise from the adoption of IFRS as issued by the IASB since the IAS 39 temporary carve-out on hedge accounting for which adoption by European Union is pending would not determine any effect for the Group.

New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2014

The following new standards and amendments that are applicable from January 1, 2014 were adopted by the Group for the purpose of the preparation of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements

The Group adopted IFRS 11, as amended as of January 1, 2014. The adoption of this standard required the reclassification of investments previously classified as jointly controlled entities under IAS 31 – Interests in joint ventures, as either “joint operations” (if the Group has rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to an arrangement) or “joint ventures” (if the Group has rights only to the net assets of an arrangement). The classification focuses on the rights and obligations of the arrangements, as well as their legal form. Under the new standard, joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method while joint operations are accounted for by recognizing the Group’s share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses (these interests would have previously been accounted for using the equity method under IAS 31).

As a result of the IFRS 11 retrospective application, the Group’s interest in Sevel S.p.A., a joint arrangement with PSA-Peugeot and the Group’s interests in Fiat India Automobiles Limited, a joint arrangement with Tata Motor, were classified as joint operations. Therefore, the Group recognized its share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses instead of recognizing its interest in the net assets of the entities under the equity method. The Group’s interests in joint arrangements which were classified as jointly controlled entities under IAS 31 and have been reclassified as Joint ventures under IFRS 11 continue to be accounted for using the equity method. The reclassification of these interests had no impact on these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group adopted IFRS 10, as amended, effective January 1, 2014. The new standard builds on existing principles by identifying a single control model applicable to all entities, including “structured entities”. The standard also provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess.

In accordance with the transition provision in IFRS 10, the Group reassessed the conclusion on control of its investees on January 1, 2014 without reporting any significant effect on the adoption of the new standard.

IFRS 12 – Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

The Group adopted IFRS 12, as amended, effective January 1, 2014. The standard is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates, structured entities and other unconsolidated entities. Other than the modifications to the disclosures regarding these interests reported in these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the adoption of the new standard did not have any effect on these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments to IAS 32– Financial Instruments: Presentation)

The Group adopted the amendments to IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation effective January 1, 2014. The amendments clarify the application of certain offsetting criteria for financial assets and financial liabilities and are required to be applied retrospectively. No significant effect arose on these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements from the application of these amendments.

Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (Amendments to IAS 36 – Impairment of assets)

The Group adopted the amendments to IAS 36 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets addressing the disclosure of information about the recoverable amount of impaired assets if that amount is based on fair value less cost of disposal effective January 1, 2014 without reporting any effect on these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The application of these amendments will result in an expanded disclosure in the notes to the future annual consolidated financial statements in case of an impairment that is based on fair value less cost of disposal.

Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting (Amendments to IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement)

These amendments, adopted effective January 1, 2014, allow hedge accounting to continue in a situation where a derivative, which has been designated as a hedging instrument, is novated to effect clearing with a central counterparty as a result of laws or regulation, if specific conditions are met. No effect arose on these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements from the application of these amendments.

Accounting for an obligation to pay a levy that is not income tax (IFRIC Interpretation 21 – Levies, an interpretation of IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets)

The interpretation, effective from January 1, 2014, sets out the accounting for an obligation to pay a levy that is not income tax. The interpretation addresses what the obligating event is that gives rise to pay a levy and when a liability should be recognized. No effect arose on these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements from the application of this interpretation.

New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective

At the date of these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements the European Union had not yet completed its endorsement process for these standards, amendments and interpretations:

•

In November 2013, the IASB published narrow scope amendments to IAS 19 – Employee benefits entitled “Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions”. These amendments apply to contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefit plans in order to simplify their accounting in specific cases. The amendments are effective, retrospectively, for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 with earlier application permitted. No significant effect is expected from the first time adoption of these amendments.

•

In December 2013 the IASB issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle. The most important topics addressed in these amendments are, among others, the definition of vesting conditions in IFRS 2 – Share based payment, the disclosure on judgment used in the aggregation of operating segments in IFRS 8 – Operating Segments, the identification and disclosure of a related party transaction that arises when a management entity provides key management personnel service to a reporting entity in IAS 24 –

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at September 30, 2014 41

Related Party disclosures, the extension of the exclusion from the scope of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations to all types of joint arrangements and to clarify the application of certain exceptions in IFRS 13 – Fair value Measurement. The improvements are effective for annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2015. No significant effect is expected from the first time adoption of these amendments.

•

In May 2014 the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements: Accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations, clarifying the accounting for acquisitions of an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business. The amendments are effective, retrospectively, for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 with earlier application permitted. No significant effect is expected from the first time adoption of these amendments.

•

In May 2014, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment and to IAS 38 – Intangible Assets. The IASB has clarified that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset. The IASB also clarified that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset. This presumption, however, can be rebutted in certain limited circumstances. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early application permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

•

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers. The standard requires a company to recognize revenue upon transfer of control of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive. This new revenue recognition model defines a five step process to achieve this objective. The updated guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, and requires either full or modified retrospective application. The Group is currently evaluating the method of implementation and impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

•

In July 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. The improvement package introduced by the new standard includes a logical approach for classification and measurement of financial instruments driven by cash flow characteristics and the business model in which an asset is held, a single “expected loss” impairment model for financial assets and a substantially reformed approach for hedge accounting. The standard is effective, retrospectively with limited exceptions, for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with earlier application permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

•

In September 2014, the IASB issued narrow amendments to IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011). The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28 (2011), in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. The amendments will be effective, prospectively, for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2016.

•

In September 2014 the IASB issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 cycle, a series of amendments to IFRSs in response to issues raised mainly on IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations, on the changes of method of disposal, on IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures on the Servicing contracts, on the IAS 19 - Employee Benefits, on the discount rate determination. The effective date of the amendments is January 1, 2016. The Group is currently evaluating impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

The Group will comply with these new standards, amendments and interpretations based on their relevant effective dates when endorsed by the European Union.

CHANGES IN THE SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

Other than the acquisition of the remaining approximately 41.5 percent ownership interest in Chrysler Group LLC (together with its subsidiaries “Chrysler” or the “Chrysler Group”) described below, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 there were the following changes in the scope of consolidation:

•

In August 2014 Ferrari S.p.A. acquired an additional 21 percent in the share capital of the subsidiary Ferrari Maserati Cars International Trading (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. increasing its interest from 59 percent to 80 percent (the Group’s interests increased from 53.10 percent to 72.00 percent). In accordance with IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, equity reserves were adjusted to reflect the change in the ownership interest through a corresponding adjustment to equity attributable to the parent.

•

In July 2014 Maserati established a new 100 percent owned company named Maserati (China) Cars Trading Co., Ltd. for the distribution of its cars in China.

•

A minor subsidiary belonging to the Components segment, whose total assets and revenues are not material for the Group, previously accounted for under the equity method or at costs was consolidated on a line-by-line basis.

•

In the context of the Merger described above, in April 2014 Fiat Investments N.V. was incorporated as a public limited liability company under the laws of the Netherlands and was renamed FCA upon completion of the Merger. In addition, in June 2014, the Group’s 100 percent interest in Fiat North America LLC (“FNA”) was transferred from Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. to Fiat S.p.A. These transactions had no effects on the consolidated financial statements.

Further, as the Merger is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are controlled ultimately by the same party both before and after the business combination, and based on the fact that the control is not transitory, from an accounting standpoint, the transition will be considered as a combination of entities under common control and therefore outside the scope of IFRS 3 and IFRIC 17. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter 2014, the Merger will be accounted for by the Group without adjusting the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities involved in the transaction and will have no impact on the Group consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of the remaining ownership interest in Chrysler

On January 1, 2014 Fiat’s 100 percent owned subsidiary FNA and the VEBA Trust announced that they had entered into an agreement (“the Equity Purchase Agreement”) under which FNA agreed to acquire the VEBA Trust’s approximately 41.5 percent interest in Chrysler, which included an approximately 10 percent interest in Chrysler subject to previously exercised options that were subject to ongoing litigation, for cash consideration of U.S.$3,650 million (€2,691 million) as follows:

•

a special distribution of U.S.$1,900 million (equivalent to €1,404 million) paid by Chrysler to its members, which served to fund a portion of the transaction, wherein FNA directed its portion of the special distribution to the VEBA Trust as part of the purchase consideration; and

•

an additional cash payment by FNA to the VEBA Trust of U.S.$1,750 million (equivalent to €1,287 million).

The previously exercised options for the approximately 10 percent interests in Chrysler that were settled in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement had an estimated fair value at the transaction date of U.S.$302 million (€223 million). These options were historically carried at cost, which was zero, in accordance with the guidance in paragraphs AG80 and AG81 of IAS 39 as the options were on shares that did not have a quoted market price in an active market and as the interpretation of the formula required to calculate the exercise price on the options was disputed and was subject to ongoing litigation. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement, the fair value of the underlying equity and the estimated exercise price of the options, at that point, became reliably estimable. As such, on the transaction date, the options were remeasured to their fair value of U.S.$302 million (€223 million at the transaction date), which resulted in a corresponding non-taxable gain in Other unusual income/(expenses). The Group has classified this item in Other unusual income/(expenses) because it relates to options held in relation to the acquisition of a non-controlling interest and is expected to occur infrequently.

The fair value of the options was calculated as the difference between the estimated exercise price for the disputed options encompassed in the Equity Purchase Agreement of U.S.$650 million (€481 million) and the estimated fair value for the underlying approximately 10 percent interest in Chrysler of U.S.$952 million (€704 million).

The exercise price for the disputed options was originally calculated by FNA pursuant to the formula set out in the option agreement between FNA and the VEBA Trust. The VEBA Trust disputed the calculation of the exercise price, which ultimately led to the litigation between the two parties regarding the interpretation of the call option agreement. The dispute

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at September 30, 2014 43

primarily related to four elements of the calculation of the exercise price. During the ensuing litigation, the court ruled in FNA’s favor on two of the four disputed elements of the calculation. The court requested an additional factual record be developed on the other two elements, a process that was ongoing at the time the Equity Purchase Agreement was executed and consummated.

The dispute between FNA and the VEBA Trust over the previously exercised options was settled pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, effectively resulting in the fulfillment of the previously exercised options. Given that there was no amount explicitly agreed to by FNA and the VEBA Trust in the Equity Purchase Agreement for the settlement of the previously exercised options, management estimated the exercise price encompassed in the Equity Purchase Agreement taking into account the judgments rendered by the court to date on the litigation and a settlement of the two unresolved elements. Based on the nature of the two unresolved elements, management estimated the exercise price to be between U.S.$600 million (€444 million at the transaction date) and U.S.$700 million (€518 million at the transaction date). Given the uncertainty inherent in court decisions, it was not possible to pick a point within that range that represented the most likely outcome. As such, management believed the mid-point of this range, U.S.$650 million (€481 million at the transaction date), represented the appropriate point estimate of the exercise price encompassed in the Equity Purchase Agreement.

Since there was no publicly observable market price for Chrysler’s membership interests, the fair value as of the transaction date of the approximately 10 percent non-controlling ownership interest in Chrysler was determined based on the range of potential values determined in connection with the initial public offering (“IPO”) that Chrysler was pursuing at the time the Equity Purchase Agreement was negotiated and executed, which was corroborated by a discounted cash flow valuation that estimated a value near the mid-point of the range of potential IPO values. Management concluded that the midpoint of the range of potential IPO value provided the best evidence of the fair value of Chrysler’s membership interests at the transaction date as it reflects market input obtained during the IPO process, thus providing better evidence of the price at which a market participant would transact consistent with the objectives of IFRS 13, the accounting guidance on fair value measurements.

The potential IPO values for 100 percent of Chrysler’s equity on a fully distributed basis ranged from $10.5 billion to U.S.$12.0 billion (€7.6 billion to €8.7 billion at December 31, 2013). Management concluded the mid-point of this range, U.S.$11.25 billion (€8.16 billion at December 31, 2013), was the best point estimate of fair value. The IPO value range was determined using earnings multiples observed in the market for publicly traded US-based automotive companies using the key assumptions discussed below. This fully distributed value was then reduced by approximately 15 percent for the expected discount that would have been realized in order to complete a successful IPO for the minority interest being sold by the VEBA Trust. This discount was estimated based on the following factors that a market participant would have considered and, therefore, would have affected the price of Chrysler’s equity in an IPO transaction:

•

Fiat held a significant controlling interest and had expressed the intention to remain and act as the majority owner of Chrysler. The fully diluted equity value, which is the starting point for the valuation discussed above, does not contemplate the perpetual nature of the non-controlling interest that would have been offered in the IPO or the significant level of control that Fiat would have exerted over Chrysler. This level of control creates risk to a non-controlling shareholder that Fiat would make decisions to maximize its value in a manner that would not necessarily maximize value to non-controlling shareholders, which Fiat had indicated was its intention.

•

The fully distributed equity value contemplates an active market for Chrysler’s equity, which did not exist for Chrysler’s membership interests. The IPO price represents the creation of the public market, which would have taken time to develop into an active market. The estimated price that would be received in an IPO transaction reflects the fact that Chrysler’s equity was not yet traded in an active market.

As the expected discount that would have been realized in order to complete a successful IPO represented a market-based discount that would have been reflected in an IPO price, management concluded it should be included in the measurement at the transaction date between a willing buyer and willing seller under the principles in IFRS 13.

The other significant assumptions management used in connection with the development of the fair value of Chrysler’s membership interests discussed above included the following:

•

Inputs derived from Chrysler’s long-term business plans in place at the time the Equity Purchase Agreement was negotiated and executed, including:

•

An estimated 2014 Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, pension and OPEB payments (EBITDAPO); and

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at September 30, 2014 44

•

An estimate of net debt, which is composed of debt, pension obligations and OPEB obligations of Chrysler, offset by any expected tax benefit arising from payment of obligations and cash on hand; and

•

An EBITDAPO valuation multiple based on observed multiples for other US-based automotive manufacturers, adjusted for differences between those manufacturers and Chrysler.

The transaction under the Equity Purchase Agreement closed on January 21, 2014. As a result of this transaction Fiat now holds a 100 percent equity interest in Chrysler.

Concurrent with the closing of the acquisition under the Equity Purchase Agreement, Chrysler and the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”) executed and delivered a contractually binding and legally enforceable Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to supplement Chrysler’s existing collective bargaining agreement. Under the MOU, the UAW committed to (i) use the best efforts to cooperate in the continued roll-out of Chrysler’s World Class Manufacturing (“WCM”) programs, (ii) to actively participate in benchmarking efforts associated with implementation of WCM programs across all Fiat-Chrysler manufacturing sites to ensure objective competitive assessments of operational performance and provide a framework for the proper application of WCM principles, and (iii) to actively assist in the achievement of Chrysler’s long-term business plan. In consideration for these legally enforceable commitments, Chrysler agreed to make payments to a UAW organized independent VEBA Trust totaling U.S.$700 million (€518 million at the transaction date) to be paid in four equal annual installments. Considering Chrysler’s non-performance risk over the payment period as of the transaction date and its unsecured nature, this payment obligation had a fair value of U.S.$672 million (€497 million) as of the transaction date.

The Group considered the terms and conditions set forth in the above mentioned agreements and has accounted for the Equity Purchase Agreement and the MOU as a single commercial transaction with multiple elements. As such, the fair value of the consideration paid discussed above, which amounts to U.S.$4,624 million (€3,411 million), including the fair value of the previously exercised disputed options, was allocated to the elements obtained by Fiat and Chrysler. Due to the unique nature and inherent judgment involved in determining the fair value of the UAW’s commitments under the MOU, a residual value methodology was used to determine the portion of the consideration paid attributable to the UAW’s commitments as follows:


(€ million)	At the transaction date
Special distribution from Chrysler		1,404
Cash payment from FNA		1,287
Fair value of the previously exercised options		223
Fair value of financial commitments under the MOU		497
Fair value of total consideration paid		3,411
Less the fair value of an approximately 41.5 percent non-controlling ownership interest in Chrysler		(2,916	)
Consideration allocated to the UAW’s commitments		495

The fair value of the approximately 41.5 percent non-controlling ownership interest in Chrysler acquired by Fiat from the VEBA Trust (which includes the approximately 10 percent pursuant to the settlement of the previously exercised disputed options discussed above) was determined using the valuation methodology discussed above.

The residual of the fair value of the consideration paid of U.S.$670 million (€495 million) was allocated to the UAW’s contractually binding and legally enforceable commitments to Chrysler under the MOU.

The effects of changes in ownership interests in Chrysler were therefore as follows:


(€ million)	At the transaction date
Carrying amount of non-controlling interest acquired		3,976
Less consideration allocated to the acquisition of the non-controlling interest		(2,916	)
Additional net deferred tax assets		251
Effect on the equity attributable to owners of the parent		1,311

In accordance with IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, equity reserves were adjusted to reflect the change in the ownership interest in Chrysler through a corresponding adjustment to equity attributable to the parent. As the transaction described above resulted in the elimination of the non-controlling interest in Chrysler, all items of comprehensive income previously attributed to the non-controlling interest were recognized in the appropriate equity reserve.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at September 30, 2014 45

In accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013, €1,248 million of the accumulated actuarial gains and losses from the remeasurement of the defined benefit plans of Chrysler Group has been recognized since the consolidation of Chrysler Group. As of the transaction date, €518 million, which is approximately 41.5 percent of this amount, had been recognized in non-controlling interest. In connection with the acquisition of the non-controlling interest in Chrysler Group, this amount was recognized as an adjustment to the equity reserve for Remeasurement of defined benefit plans.

With respect to the MOU entered into with the UAW, the Group recognized €495 million (U.S.$670 million) in Other unusual expenses in the Interim Consolidated Income Statement. The first U.S.$175 million installment under the MOU was paid on January 21, 2014, which was equivalent to €129 million at that date, and is reflected in the operating section of the Interim Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The remaining outstanding obligation pursuant to the MOU as of September 30, 2014 of €401 million (U.S.$504 million), which includes €6 million (U.S.$7 million) of accreted interest, is recorded in Other current liabilities sections in the Interim Consolidated Statement Of Financial Position (Note 22). For further information on additional net deferred tax assets recognized reference should be made to Note 9.

The Equity Purchase Agreement also provided for a tax distribution from Chrysler to its members under the terms of Chrysler Group’s Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “LLC Operating Agreement”) in the amount of approximately U.S.$60 million (€45 million) to cover the VEBA Trust’s tax obligation. As this payment was made pursuant to a specific requirement in Chrysler’s LLC Operating Agreement, it is not considered part of the multiple element transaction.

Restrictions in relation to the Group’s interest in Chrysler

The Group is subject to several restrictions that may limit its ability to access and use assets or settle liabilities in relation to its interest in Chrysler.

Financing arrangements outstanding at Chrysler may limit the Group’s ability to allocate capital between Group entities or may restrict its ability to receive dividends or other restricted payments from Chrysler. In addition, Fiat’s existing syndicated credit facility currently imposes restrictions that limit Fiat’s capability to extend guarantees or loans to Chrysler.

Chrysler’s tranche B term loan that matures May 24, 2017, tranche B term loan that matures December 31, 2018, and revolving credit facility maturing May 24, 2016, are secured by a senior priority security interest in substantially all of Chrysler Group LLC’s assets and the assets of its U.S. subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The collateral includes 100 percent of the equity interests in Chrysler’s U.S. subsidiaries and 65 percent of the equity interests in its non-U.S. subsidiaries held directly by Chrysler Group LLC and its U.S. subsidiary guarantors. In addition, Chrysler’s secured senior notes are secured by liens junior to the senior credit facilities on substantially all of Chrysler Group LLC’s U.S. assets and the assets of its U.S. subsidiary guarantors, including 100 percent of the equity interests in Chrysler’s U.S. subsidiaries and 65 percent of the equity interests in its non-U.S. subsidiaries held directly by Chrysler Group LLC and its U.S. subsidiary guarantors. These liens cover almost all of Chrysler’s assets. In addition to collateral, these debt instruments include covenants that restrict Chrysler’s ability to make certain distributions or purchase or redeem its capital stock, prepay certain other debt, encumber assets, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, incur liens, transfer and sell assets or engage in certain business combinations, enter into certain transactions with affiliates or undertake various other business activities as well as the requirement to maintain borrowing base collateral coverage and a liquidity threshold.

As described above, on January 21, 2014, Chrysler paid to its members a special distribution of U.S.$1,900 million (€1,404 million) and a tax distribution to the VEBA Trust of approximately U.S.$60 million (€45 million) to cover its tax obligations. With certain exceptions, while the credit facilities and secured senior notes are outstanding further distributions will be limited to 50 percent of Chrysler’s consolidated net income (as defined in the agreements) for the period from January 2012 until the end of the most recent fiscal quarter, less the amount of the January 2014 special distribution.

For more information regarding Chrysler’s credit facilities and other debt, reference should be made to Note 21.

Cost of sales also includes warranty and product-related costs, estimated at the time of sale to dealer networks or to the end customer. Depending on the specific nature of the recall, including the significance and magnitude, certain warranty expenses incurred are reported as unusual expenses, where the Group believes that separate identification allows the users of the Consolidated financial statements to take them into appropriate consideration when analyzing the performance of the Group and assists them in understanding the Group’s financial performance year on year.

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 also includes €27 million and €77 million, respectively, and for nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 includes €103 million and €143 million, respectively, of interest and other financial expenses from financial services companies.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, Restructuring costs amounted to €15 million and primarily relate to restructuring provisions recognized in the LATAM and Components segments. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, Restructuring costs amounted to €14 million mainly related to the restructuring provision made by Other activities.

Restructuring costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to €23 million and primarily related to the restructuring provisions recognized in the LATAM and Components segments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Restructuring costs amounted to €9 million mainly related to the restructuring provision recognized in relation to Other activities partially offset by release of a restructuring provision previously made by the NAFTA segment.

7. Other unusual income/(expenses)

Other unusual income/(expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and nine months ended September 30, 2014

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Other unusual income/(expenses) amounted to net expenses of €405 million, primarily relating to the €495 million expense recognized in connection with the execution of the UAW MOU entered into by Chrysler on January 21, 2014, which was partially offset by the non-taxable gain of €223 million on the remeasurement to fair value of the previously exercised options on approximately 10 percent of Chrysler’s membership interest in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement both described above in the section – Non-controlling interests. In addition, Other unusual expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 include a €98 million remeasurement charge recognized as a result of the Group’s change in the exchange rate used to remeasure its Venezuelan subsidiary’s net monetary assets in U.S. Dollar, based on first quarter 2014 developments related to the foreign exchange process in Venezuela.

As the official exchange rate is increasingly reserved only for purchases of those goods and services deemed “essential” by the Venezuelan government, the Group began to use the exchange rate determined by an auction process conducted by Venezuela’s Supplementary Foreign Currency Administration System (“SICAD”), referred to as the “SICAD I rate”, as of March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2014, the SICAD I rate was 10.7 Venezuelan Bolivar (“VEF”) to U.S. Dollar. Previously, the Group utilized the official exchange rate of 6.30 VEF to U.S. Dollar. In late March 2014, the Venezuelan government introduced an additional auction-based foreign exchange system, referred to as the SICAD II rate. The SICAD II rate has ranged from 49 to 51.9 VEF to U.S. Dollar in the period since its introduction until November 5, 2014. The SICAD II rate is expected to be used primarily for imports and has been limited to amounts of VEF that can be exchanged into other currencies, such as the U.S. Dollar. As a result of the recent exchange agreement between the Central Bank of Venezuela and the Venezuelan government and the limitations of the SICAD II rate, the Group believes any future remittances of dividends would be transacted at the SICAD I rate. At September 30, 2014, the SICAD I rate was 12.0 VEF to U.S. Dollar.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at September 30, 2014 49

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 Other unusual expenses also included €15 million related to compensation costs deriving from the resignation of the former Ferrari chairman.

Other unusual income/(expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and nine months ended September 30, 2013

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Other unusual expenses amounted to €2 million and €220 million respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 this item mainly included a €115 million charge related to the June 2013 voluntary safety recall for the 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty, as well as the customer satisfaction action for the 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 Other unusual net expenses also include a €59 million foreign currency translation loss related to the February 2013 devaluation of the official exchange rate of the VEF relative to the U.S. Dollar from 4.30 VEF per U.S. Dollar to 6.30 VEF per U.S. Dollar. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and three months ended September 30, 2013, certain monetary liabilities, which had been submitted to the Commission for the Administration of Foreign Exchange (“CADIVI”) for payment approval prior to the devaluation date, were approved to be paid at an exchange rate of 4.30 VEF per U.S. Dollar. As a result, foreign currency translation gains of €12 million in the second quarter of 2013 and €4 million in the third quarter of 2013 were recognized due to these monetary liabilities being previously remeasured at the 6.30 VEF per U.S. Dollar at the devaluation date.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Other unusual income amounted to €9 million and €185 million respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, this item mainly related to the impacts of a curtailment gain and plan amendments of €166 million with a corresponding net reduction to Chrysler’s pension obligation. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, Chrysler amended its U.S. and Canadian salaried defined benefit pension plans. The U.S. plans were amended in order to comply with Internal Revenue Service regulations, cease the accrual of future benefits effective December 31, 2013, and enhance the retirement factors. The Canada amendment ceases the accrual of future benefits effective December 31, 2014, enhances the retirement factors and continues to consider future salary increases for the affected employees. An interim remeasurement was required for these plans, which resulted in an additional €509 million net reduction to the pension obligation, a €7 million reduction to defined benefit plan assets and a corresponding €502 million increase in other comprehensive income.

At December 31, 2013, previously unrecognized deferred tax assets of €1,500 million were recognized, principally related to tax loss carry forwards and temporary differences in the NAFTA operations. In the three months ended September 30, 2014 utilization of a part of these temporary book/tax differences resulted in higher deferred tax expense compared with the prior year.

In the nine months ended September 2014 the utilization of a part of these temporary differences resulted in a higher deferred tax expense as compared to the prior year, which was offset by the recognition of a €125 million deferred tax benefit and by other non-recurring deferred tax benefits which did not occur in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at September 30, 2014 51

The Regional Italian Income Tax (“IRAP”) recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was €12 million and €9 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was €44 million and €44 million, respectively.

The Group recognizes in its Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position within Deferred tax assets, the amount of Deferred tax assets less the Deferred tax liabilities of the individual consolidated companies, where these may be offset. Amounts recognized are as follows:


(€ million)	At September 30, 2014			At December 31, 2013
Deferred tax assets		3,365			2,903
Deferred tax liabilities		(202	)		(278	)
Net deferred tax assets		3,163			2,625

The increase in net deferred tax assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is mainly related to the acquisition of the remaining approximately 41.5 percent ownership interest in Chrysler (previously not held by the Group) in accordance with its tax transparency regime.

10. Earnings/(loss) per share

Basic earnings/(loss) per share

The basic earnings/(loss) per share is determined by dividing the Profit/(Loss) attributable to the equity holders of the parent company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods.

The following table provides the amounts used in the calculation of basic earnings/(loss) per share for the periods presented:


		For the three months ended September 30,					For the nine months ended September 30,
		2014		2013			2014		2013

Basic earnings/(losses) per ordinary share	€		0.143		(0.013	)		0.132		0.036

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share

In order to calculate the diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the weighted average number of ordinary shares has been increased to also take into consideration the theoretical effect that would arise if all the share-based payment plans were exercised. No other instruments could potentially dilute the basic earnings per share in the future, as all contingently issuable shares existing under the stock grant plan were included in the calculation of the diluted earnings per share for the periods presented. There were no instruments excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for these periods presented because of an antidilutive impact. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, conversely, the theoretical effect that would arise if the share based payment plans were exercised were not taken into consideration in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as this would have had an antidilutive effect.

As Other financial assets and liabilities primarily consist of hedging derivatives, the change in their value is compensated by the change in the value of the hedged items.

17.

Cash and cash equivalents

At September 30, 2014, Cash and cash equivalents, amounting to €18,395 million (€19,455 million at December 31, 2013), include cash at banks, units in money market funds and other money market securities, comprising commercial paper and certificate of deposits that are readily convertible into cash, with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and consist of balances spread across various primary national and international banking institutions, and money market instruments.

The Group holds a subsidiary, which operates in Venezuela whose functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. Pursuant to certain Venezuelan foreign currency exchange control regulations, the Central Bank of Venezuela centralizes all foreign currency transactions in the country. Under these regulations, the purchase and sale of foreign currency must be made through the Centro Nacional de Comercio Exterior en Venezuela (“CENCOEX”) from January 1, 2014 (CADIVI until December 31, 2013). The cash and cash equivalents denominated in VEF amounted to €72 million (VEF1,084 million) at September 30, 2014 and €270 million (VEF2,347 million) at December 31, 2013. The reduction, in Euro terms, is largely due to the adoption of SICAD I rate at March 31, 2014 for the conversion of the VEF denominated monetary items, as explained in more detail in Note 7, and in part to the payments made by the subsidiary during the period.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at September 30, 2014 55

19.

Equity

Consolidated shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2014 decreased by €1,871 million from December 31, 2013, mainly due to the decrease of €2,665 million arising from the acquisition of the 41.5 percent of residual interest in Chrysler (previously not held by the Group), and a decrease of €259 million in the cash flow hedge reserve. These decreases were partially offset by the increase of €983 million in the cumulative exchange differences on translating foreign operations and the net profit for the period of €212 million.

At September 30, 2014, fully paid-up share capital of Fiat amounted to €4,479 million (€4,477 million at December 31, 2013) and consisted of 1,250,963,898 ordinary shares (1,250,687,773 ordinary shares at December 31, 2013), with a par value of €3.58 each.

•

60,002,027 Fiat ordinary shares were reacquired by Fiat with a disbursement of €464 million. Pursuant to the Italian law these shares were offered to Fiat Shareholders not having exercised the Cash Exit Rights. Fiat shareholders elected to purchase 6,085,630 shares with a cash disbursement of €47 million. As a result, concurrent with the Merger, on October 12, 2014, 53,916,397 Fiat shares were cancelled in the Merger with a net aggregate cash disbursement of €417 million.

The 35,000,000 FCA common shares held by Fiat were not cancelled in accordance with Section 2:325, paragraph 3, of the DCC, and will be shares held by FCA in its own capital.

Changes in the ordinary share number of Fiat from September 30, 2014 to October 12, 2014 are as follows:

The FCA Loyalty voting structure

The purpose of the loyalty voting structure is to reward long-term ownership of FCA common shares and promote stability of the FCA shareholder base by granting long-term FCA shareholders with Special Voting Shares to which one voting right is attached additional to the one granted by each FCA common share that they hold. In connection with the Merger, FCA issued 408,941,767 special voting shares, with a nominal value of Euro 0.01 each, to those eligible shareholders of Fiat who had validly elected to participate in the loyalty voting structure upon completion of the Merger in addition to FCA common shares. After closing of the Merger, an FCA shareholder may at any time elect to participate in the loyalty voting structure by requesting that FCA register all or some of the number of FCA common shares held by such FCA shareholder in the Loyalty Register. Only a minimal dividend accrues to the special voting shares allocated to a separate special dividend reserve, and they shall not carry any entitlement to any other reserve of FCA. Having only immaterial economics entitlements, the special voting shares will not impact the FCA EPS calculation.

Bank debt

At September 30, 2014, Bank debt includes €3,875 million (€2,119 million at December 31, 2013) outstanding on the U.S.$3.25 billion Tranche B Term Loan due 2017 issued by Chrysler and on the new U.S.$1.75 billion Tranche B Term Loan due 2018, issued by Chrysler.

The outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loan due 2018 is payable in equal quarterly installments of U.S.$4.4 million that commenced on June 30, 2014, with the remaining balance due at maturity. The Tranche B Term Loan due 2018 bears interest, at Chrysler’s option, either at a base rate plus 1.50 percent per annum or at LIBOR plus 2.50 percent per annum, subject to a base rate floor of 1.75 percent per annum or a LIBOR floor of 0.75 percent per annum, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, Chrysler may refinance or re-price the Tranche B Term Loan due 2017 and the Tranche B Term Loan due 2018 without premium or penalty.

The €1 billion (U.S.$1.3 billion) secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) maturing May 24, 2016 of Chrysler remained undrawn at September 30, 2014. Subsequent to the issuances of, and subject to the limitations in, the senior credit agreement, as amended and restated as of June 21, 2013 (“Senior Credit Agreement”), the term loan credit agreement governing the Term Loan Credit Facility, and the indenture governing the secured senior notes, including the 2019 Notes and 2021 Notes, Chrysler has the option to increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed U.S.$700 million (approximately €556 million at September 30, 2014), subject to certain conditions.

The remaining terms of the Term Loan Credit Facility and the 2019 Notes and 2021 Notes are generally consistent with the terms of the existing Senior Credit Facilities and the existing Secured Senior Notes, respectively. Refer to Note 27 to the Fiat Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013 for further information regarding the terms of those agreements.

Medium/long term committed credit lines (expiring after twelve months) currently available to the treasury companies of the Group excluding Chrysler amount to approximately €3.3 billion at September 30, 2014, of which €2.1 billion related to the 3-year syndicated revolving credit line due in July 2016 was undrawn at September 30, 2014. Additionally, the operating entities of the Group excluding Chrysler have committed credit lines available, with residual maturity after twelve months, to fund scheduled investments, of which approximately €1.7 billion was still undrawn at September 30, 2014. Further information on the Medium/Long term committed credit lines is included in Note 27 to the Fiat Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013.

Fair value measurement

IFRS 13 establishes a hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value by giving the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 inputs). In some cases, the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy at the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. Levels used in the hierarchy are as follows:

•

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date.

•

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

•

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets and liabilities.

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The following table shows the fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2014:


		At September 30, 2014								At December 31, 2013
(€ million)	Note	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Total Liabilities			—		544		7		551		—		135		2		137

In the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and in 2013, there were no transfers between Levels in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of Other financial assets and liabilities that are mainly composed of derivatives financial instruments is measured by taking into consideration market parameters at the balance sheet date and using valuation techniques widely accepted in the financial business environment. In particular:

•

the fair value of forward contracts and currency swaps is determined by taking the prevailing exchange rates and interest rates at the balance sheet date;

•

the fair value of interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements is determined by taking the prevailing interest rates at the balance sheet date and using the discounted expected cash flow method;

•

the fair value of combined interest rate and currency swaps is determined using the exchange and interest rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and the discounted expected cash flow method;

•

the fair value of swaps and options hedging commodity price risk is determined by using suitable valuation techniques and taking market parameters at the balance sheet date (in particular, underlying prices, interest rates and volatility rates).

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at September 30, 2014 62

The par value of Cash and cash equivalents usually approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments, which consist primarily of bank current accounts and time deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances and money market funds. Money market funds valuation is also based on available market quotations. In these cases, Cash and cash equivalents are represented in Level 1. Sometimes the fair value of Cash equivalents needs to be determined with discounted expected cash flow techniques, using observable market yields (represented in Level 2 above).

The following table provides reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances for fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and nine months ended September 30, 2014:


	For the three months ended September 30,

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the losses included in the Consolidated Income Statement are recognized in Cost of sales for €4 million and for nil, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 the losses recognized in Other comprehensive income/(loss) have been included in Gains/(losses) on cash flow hedging instruments amounted to €17 million (a €12 million gain for the three months ended September 30, 2013). For the three months ended September 30, 2013 a loss of €1 million was also recognized in Exchange gains/(losses) on translating foreign operations (Note 19).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the losses included in the Consolidated Income Statement are recognized in Cost of sales for €10 million and €3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the losses recognized in Other comprehensive income/(loss) have been included in Gains/(losses) on cash flow hedging instruments for €3 million (a gain of €2 million recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2013). For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 a loss of €1 million was also recognized in Exchange gains/(losses) on translating foreign operations (Note 19).

Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis

For financial instruments represented by short-term receivables and payables, for which the present value of future cash flows does not differ significantly from carrying value, we assume that carrying value is a reasonable approximation of the fair value. In particular, the carrying amount of Current receivables and Other current assets and of Trade payables and Other current liabilities approximates their fair value.

Refer to section - Acquisition of the remaining ownership interest in Chrysler for a discussion of the residual value methodology used to determine the fair values of the acquired elements in connection with the transactions under the Equity Recapture Agreement and MOU.

The following table represents carrying amount and fair value for the most relevant categories of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


		At September 30, 2014				At December 31, 2013
(€ million)	Note	Carrying amount		Fair Value		Carrying amount		Fair Value
Dealer financing			2,164		2,164		2,286		2,290
Retail financing			1,038		1,030		970		957
Finance lease			344		346		297		296
Other receivables from financing activities			143		143		118		118
Receivables from financing activities	(15)		3,689		3,683		3,671		3,661
Asset backed financing			377		377		756		756
Bonds			17,582		18,597		14,466		15,464
Other debt			14,974		15,015		15,061		15,180
Debt	(21)		32,933		33,989		30,283		31,400

The fair values of Receivables from financing activities, which are categorized within the Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, have been estimated with discounted cash flows models. The most significant inputs used for this measurement are market discount rates, that reflect conditions applied in various reference markets on receivables with similar characteristics, adjusted in order to take into account the credit risk of the counterparties.

Bonds that are traded in active markets for which quoted prices are available are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Bonds for which such prices are not available (valued at the last available price or based on observable prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who trade in such securities), which are primarily the Chrysler Secured Senior Notes, including the 2019 Notes and 2021 Notes, are categorized as Level 2. At September 30, 2014, €13,361 million and €5,236 million (€12,854 million and €2,610 million at December 31, 2013) fair value of Bonds were classified within Level 1 and Level 2, respectively.

The fair value of Other debt included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy has been estimated using discounted cash flow models. The main inputs used are period-end market interest rates, adjusted for market expectations of the Group’s non-performance risk implied in quoted prices of traded securities issued by the Group and existing credit derivatives on Group debt. The fair value of the debt that requires significant adjustments using unobservable inputs is categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2014, €12,436 million and €2,579 million (€9,006 million and €6,174 million at December 31, 2013) fair value of Other debt were classified within Level 2 and Level 3, respectively.

Explanatory notes to the Interim Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

The Interim Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows sets out changes in Cash and cash equivalents during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. As required by IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows are separated into operating, investing and financing activities. The effects of changes in exchange rates on Cash and cash equivalents are shown separately under the line item Translation exchange differences.

Cash flows from (used in) operating activities mostly derive from the Group’s industrial activities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Other non-cash items (positive for €197 million) mainly include (i) €372 million related to the non-cash portion of the expense recognized in connection with the execution of the UAW MOU entered into by Chrysler on January 21, 2014, as described in the section – Acquisition of the remaining ownership interest in Chrysler, and (ii) €98 million remeasurement charge related to the change in the exchange rate of the VEF relative to the U.S. Dollar used by the Group (Note 7), which were partially offset by (iii) the non-taxable gain of €223 million on the remeasurement to fair value of the previously exercised options on approximately 10 percent of Chrysler’s membership interest in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement described above in the section – Acquisition of the remaining ownership interest in Chrysler.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Other non-cash items (positive for €33 million) consisted of the reversal of non-cash profit and loss items, including the €56 million gain arising on the fair value measurement of the equity swaps on Fiat S.p.A. and CNH Industrial N.V. ordinary shares and the €55 million loss related to the devaluation of the official exchange rate of the Venezuelan Bolivar (VEF) relative to the US Dollar (reference should be made to Note 7 for further details).

The cash flows generated by the sale of vehicles under buy-back commitments and GDP vehicles, net of the amounts included in Profit/(loss) for the period, are included under operating activities in a single line item which includes changes in working capital arising from these transactions.

The negative impact of the Change in working capital for €726 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily driven by (a) €1,010 increase in inventory (net of vehicles sold under buy-back commitments and GDP vehicles) due to increased production and sales levels for all regions and Luxury Brands, (b) €350 million increase in trade receivables, principally in the NAFTA segment following the increased shipments at the end of September 2014 as compared to the end of December 2013 as a result of the annual plant shutdowns, and (c) €90 million in net other current assets and liabilities which was partially offset by (d) €724 million increase in trade payables, mainly related to increased production in the NAFTA segment.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at September 30, 2014 67

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the negative impact of change in working capital of €205 million was primarily driven by (a) €1,772 million increase in inventory (net of vehicles sold under buy-back commitments) in relation to the reduction in business volume in EMEA during the third quarter and a temporary increase in inventory associated with the preparation for new product shipment in NAFTA and (b) a €207 million increase in trade receivables, primarily due to increased sales volumes in NAFTA and APAC. These negative cash flows were partially offset by a (c) €1,299 million increase in trade payables, mainly related to increased production in NAFTA as a result of increased consumer demand for vehicles in this region and (d) €475 million in net other current assets and liabilities mainly referred to higher amounts payable to customers relating to buy-back agreements.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash used in financing activities was €1,077 million and was primarily the result of:

•

the repayment on maturity of notes issued under the GMTN Program, for a total principal amount of €2,150 million; which were partially offset by

•

proceeds from bond issuances for a total amount of €4,588 million which includes (a) approximately €2.6 billion of notes issued as part of the Global Medium Term Notes Program (“GMTN Program”) and €2 billion (for a total face value of U.S.$ 2,755 million) of senior secured notes issued by Chrysler as part of the VEBA Trust Note refinancing transaction (see Note 21 to the Interim Financial Statements for further information); and

•

proceeds from new medium-term borrowings for a total of €3,950 million, which include the incremental term loan entered into by Chrysler of U.S.$ 250 million (€181 million) under its existing tranche B term loan facility, the new U.S.$ 1.75 billion tranche B, issued under a new term loan credit facility entered into by Chrysler as part of the refinancing transaction to facilitate repayment of the VEBA Trust Note, and new medium term borrowing in Brazil; and

•

a positive net contribution of €509 million from the net change in other financial payables and other financial assets/liabilities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash from financing activities was €1,638 million and was primarily the result of:

•

proceeds from bond issuances for a total amount of €2,500 million, relating to notes issued as part of the GMTN Program;

•

proceeds from new medium-term borrowings for a total of €1,519 million, which mainly include medium term borrowings in Brazil;

•

a positive net contribution of €81 million from the net change in other financial payables and other financial assets/liabilities, which were partially offset by

•

the repayment on maturity of notes issued under the GMTN Program in 2006, for a total principal amount of €1 billion; and

•

repayment of medium-term borrowings on their maturity for a total of €1,460 million.

Guarantees granted, commitments and contingent liabilities

Guarantees granted

At September 30, 2014, the Group had pledged guarantees on the debt or commitments of third parties totaling €26 million (€31 million at December 31, 2013), as well as guarantees of €15 million on related party debt (€15 million at December 31, 2013).

Other commitments and important contractual rights

The Group has important commitments and rights derived from outstanding agreements. These commitments and rights are described in Note 33 of the Fiat Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013, to which reference should be made, insofar, as no changes occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In particular, these involve commitments and rights regarding:

•

relations of FCA with Renault concerning the subsidiary Teksid;

•

relations of FCA with PSA concerning the entity Sevel S.p.A.

Lawsuits and controversies

The Parent Company and certain subsidiaries, including Chrysler, are party to various lawsuits and disputes. Nevertheless, it is believed that the resolution of these disputes will not cause significant liabilities for which specific risk provisions have not already been set aside.

28.

Segment reporting

The Group’s activities are carried out through six reportable segments: four regional mass-market vehicle segments, a global Luxury Brands segment and a global Components segment as discussed below.

The Group’s four regional mass-market vehicle reportable segments deal with the design, engineering, development, manufacturing, distribution and sale of passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and related parts and services in specific geographic areas: NAFTA (U.S., Canada Mexico and Caribbean islands), LATAM (South and Central America, excluding Mexico), APAC (Asia and Pacific countries) and EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa). The Group also operates on a global basis in the luxury vehicle and components industries. In the luxury vehicle sector the Group has the operating segments Ferrari and Maserati, while in the components sector the Group has the operating segments Magneti Marelli, Teksid and Comau. These operating segments did not meet the quantitative thresholds required in IFRS 8 – Operating segments for separate disclosure. Therefore, based on their characteristics and similarities, they are presented as the following reportable segments: “Luxury Brands” and “Components”. In support of the vehicles sales, the Group makes available dealer and retail customer financing either through subsidiaries or joint ventures and strategic commercial arrangements with third party financial institutions.

The operating segments reflect the components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer, who is the “chief operating decision maker”, as defined under IFRS 8, for making strategic decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance.

In more detail, the reportable segments identified by the Group are the following:

•

NAFTA mainly earns its revenues from the design, engineering, development, manufacturing, distribution and sale of automobiles under the Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat brand names and from sales of the related parts and accessories (under the Mopar brand name) in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

•

LATAM mainly earns its revenues from the design, engineering, development, manufacturing, distribution and sale of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles and related spare parts under the Fiat and Fiat Professional brand names in South and Central America, excluding Mexico, and from the distribution of Chrysler Group brand cars in the same region; in addition, it provides financial services to the dealer network in Brazil and Argentina.

•

APAC mainly earns its revenues from the distribution and sale of passenger cars and related spare parts under the Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat and Jeep brands mostly in China, Japan, Australia, South Korea and India. These activities are carried out through both subsidiaries and joint ventures.

•

EMEA mainly earns its revenues from the design, engineering, development, manufacturing, distribution and sale of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles under the Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Abarth and Fiat Professional brand

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at September 30, 2014 69

names and the sale of the related spare parts in Europe, Middle East and Africa, and from the distribution of Chrysler Group vehicles in the same areas. In addition, the segment provides financial services related to the sale of cars and light commercial vehicles in Europe, primarily through the 50/50 joint venture FGA Capital S.p.A. set up with the Crédit Agricole group.

•

The Luxury Brands (Ferrari and Maserati) earns its revenues from the design, engineering, development, manufacturing, distribution and sale of luxury sport cars under the Ferrari and Maserati brands, from managing the Ferrari racing team and from providing financial services offered in conjunction with the sale of Ferrari brand cars.

•

The Components (Magneti Marelli, Teksid and Comau) earns its revenues from the production and sale of lighting components, engine control units, suspensions, shock absorbers, electronic systems, exhaust systems and plastic molding components and in the spare parts distribution activities carried out under the Magneti Marelli brand name, cast iron components for engines, gearboxes, transmissions and suspension systems and aluminum cylinder heads (Teksid), in addition to the design and production of industrial automation systems and related products for the automotive industry (Comau).

Transactions among mass-market vehicle segments generally are presented on a “where-sold” basis, which reflects the profit/(loss) on the ultimate sale to the external customer within the segment. This presentation generally eliminates the effect of the legal entity transfer price within the segments. For the segments, which also provide financial services activities, revenues and costs also include interest income and expense and other financial income and expense arising from those activities.

Revenues and EBIT of the other segments are those directly generated by or attributable to the segment as the result of its usual business activities and include revenues from transactions with third parties as well as those arising from transactions with segments, recognized at normal market prices. For the Luxury Brands segment, which also provides financial services activities, revenues and costs include interest income and expense, and other financial income and expense arising from those activities.

Other activities include the results of the activities and businesses that are not operating segments under IFRS 8, the Unallocated items and adjustments include consolidation adjustments and eliminations in addition to financial income and expense and income taxes that are not attributable to the performance of the segments and are subject to separate assessment by the Chief Executive Officer.

EBIT is the measure used by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance of and allocate resources to our operating segments. Operating assets are not included in the data reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer, consequently, as permitted by IFRS 8, the related information is not provided.

As previously described in the section - Format of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, in line with the format of the Business plan presented by the Group to the financial community on May 6, 2014, the Group no longer presents Trading Profit as a supplementary performance assessment measure in addition to EBIT. Comparative amounts have been consistently reported.

Unallocated items, and in particular financial income/(expenses), are not attributed to the segments as they do not fall under the scope of their operational responsibilities and are therefore assessed separately. These items arise from the management of treasury assets and liabilities by the treasuries of FCA and Chrysler, which work independently and separately within the Group.

Subsequent events

•

On October 6, 2014, the NYSE provided notice that the listing of FCA common shares was approved subject to issuance of such shares upon effectiveness of the Merger. On the same day Borsa Italiana S.p.A. approved the listing of the common shares of FCA on the MTA, subject to Consob’s authorization to publish the related information document (“Documento di Equivalenza”).

•

On October 9, 2014 Fiat announced the results of the preemptive offer to Fiat shareholders of the shares with respect to which Cash Exit Rights were exercised in connection with the pending Merger. At completion of the offer period, Fiat shareholders had elected to purchase 6,085,630 shares of the total of 60,002,027 shares with respect to which Cash Exit Rights were exercised. Fiat in addition determined not to exercise its right to offer on the market the residual shares with respect to which Cash Exit Rights were exercised and therefore the purchased shares were delivered to purchasing shareholders against payment of the Cash Exit Price on October 14, 2014. On October 14, 2014 FCA also paid the Cash Exit Price of €7.727 per share for each of the residual shares and on the same date shareholders that exercised Cash Exit Rights received the cash exit price to which they were entitled.

•

On October 12, 2014 FCA announced that the Merger of Fiat S.p.A. with and into FCA (formerly Fiat Investments N.V.) became effective. FCA is now the holding company for the Fiat Chrysler Group.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at September 30, 2014 72

In connection with the Merger, FCA issued 1,167,181,255 common shares for allotment to Fiat shareholders on the basis of the Merger exchange ratio of one FCA common share for each Fiat ordinary share. In addition FCA retained 35,000,000 common shares formerly constituting the share capital of Fiat Investments N.V. as treasury shares. FCA also issued 408,941,767 special voting shares to eligible Fiat shareholders who elected to participate in FCA’s loyalty voting program. The total number of common and special voting shares constituting the share capital of FCA is therefore 1,611,123,022 shares. FCA common shares have been admitted to listing on the NYSE and MTA and commenced trading on the NYSE and MTA beginning October 13, 2014.

•

Upon effectiveness of the Merger, the Board of Directors of FCA became comprised of the following members: John Elkann, Sergio Marchionne, Andrea Agnelli, Tiberto Brandolini d’Adda, Glenn Earle, Valerie A. Mars, Ruth J. Simmons, Ronald L. Thompson, Patience Wheatcroft, Stephen M. Wolf and Ermenegildo Zegna. The Board of Directors of FCA resolved to appoint John Elkann as Chairman of FCA and Sergio Marchionne as Chief Executive Officer. The Board also appointed Ronald L. Thompson as Senior Non-executive Director and appointed from among its members an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Governance and Sustainability Committee. Glenn Earle (Chair), Ronald L. Thompson and Patience Wheatcroft were appointed as members of the Audit Committee. Stephen M. Wolf (Chair), Valerie A. Mars and Ermenegildo Zegna were appointed as members of the Compensation Committee. John Elkann (Chair), Patience Wheatcroft and Ruth J. Simmons were appointed as members of the Governance and Sustainability Committee.

•

On October 29, 2104 the Board of Directors of FCA announced that in connection with FCA’s implementation of a capital plan appropriate to support the Group’s long-term success, it has authorized the separation of Ferrari from FCA. The separation will be effected through a public offering of FCA’s interest in Ferrari equal to 10% of Ferrari’s outstanding shares and a distribution of FCA’s remaining Ferrari shares to FCA shareholders. The Board authorized FCA management to take the steps necessary to complete these transactions during 2015. FCA expects that the Ferrari shares will be listed in the United States and possibly in an European stock exchange. The spin-off of Ferrari will be subject to customary regulatory approvals, tax and legal considerations, final approval of the transaction structure from the FCA Board of Directors and other customary requirements.

•

On October 29, 2014 The Board of Directors of FCA announced that it has authorized the offer and sale of FCA common shares and mandatory convertible securities in offerings to be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. FCA anticipates that it will offer up to 100 million FCA common shares including 35 million common shares currently held in treasury by FCA and approximately 54 million common shares that will be issued by FCA to replenish the share capital canceled following the exercise by Fiat shareholders of Cash Exit Rights under Italian law in connection with the Merger. Those Fiat shares were redeemed and cancelled in the Merger as required by Italian law.

In addition, U.S.$2.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of mandatory convertible securities are expected to be offered in an SEC-registered offering to U.S. and international institutional investors. The mandatory convertible securities will be mandatorily convertible into FCA common shares at maturity. The interest rate, conversion rates and other terms and conditions of the mandatory convertible securities will be determined at pricing of the offering. It is expected that investors participating in the offering, subject to completion of the spin-off of Ferrari mentioned above, will be entitled to participate in the spin-off and receive shares of Ferrari pursuant to customary provisions adjusting the conversion terms. The offerings are expected to be completed by the end of 2014. The timing of the offerings remains subject to market conditions, as well as registration requirements under applicable law.

•

On October 29, 2014, further The Board of Directors of FCA, in connection with its discussions regarding capital planning to support the Group’s 2014-2018 Business Plan, confirmed FCA’s intention to eliminate any contractual terms limiting the free flow of capital among members of the Group. As a result, FCA expects to redeem each series of Chrysler Group’s outstanding Secured Senior Notes no later than at its initial optional redemption date of June 2015 for Chrysler Group’s 8% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 and June 2016 for Chrysler Group’s 8-1/4% Secured Senior Notes due 2021. FCA also expects to refinance the Chrysler Group term loans and revolving credit facility at or before this time.

•

On November 4, 2014, FCA announced that that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer exercised his stock options pursuant to the equity incentive plans as follows:

•

purchase of 6,250,000 shares of FCA and 6,250,000 shares of CNH Industrial N.V. (“CNHI”) at the aggregate price of €13.37 for one FCA share and one CNHI share. The shares so purchased have been sold on the regulated markets;

•

purchase of 10,670,000 FCA common shares and 10,670,000 CNHI common shares at the aggregate price of €6.583 for one FCA share and one CNHI share.
