8 Further Information Glossary of Financial Terms Annual Report 2013 Continental AG 245 Glossary of Financial Terms American Depositary Receipt (ADR). ADRs securitize the ownership of shares and can refer to one, several, or even a portion of a share. ADRs are traded on U.S. stock exchanges in the place of foreign shares or shares that may not be listed on U.S. stock exchanges. Capital Employed. Capital employed refers to the funds used by the company to generate its sales. Continental Value Contribution (CVC). The CVC represents the absolute amount of additional value created, and the Delta CVC represents the change in absolute value creation over the prior year. This change in the absolute contribution measured by Delta CVC allows us to monitor the extent to which management units generate value-creating growth or resources must be employed more efficiently. The CVC is measured by subtracting the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) from the ROCE and multiplying this by the average operating assets for the fiscal year. The weighted average cost of capital calculated for the Continental Corporation corresponds to the required minimum return. The cost of capital is calculated as the weighted average ratio of the cost of equity and borrowing costs. Currency swap. Swap of principal payable or receivable in one currency into similar terms in another currency. Often used when issuing loans denominated in a currency other than that of the lender. Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO). DBO is defined as the present value of all vested and non-vested benefits calculated on the basis of estimated salary levels at retirement. The only actuarial method that may be used to calculate the DBO is the projected unit credit method. DBO corresponds to PBO (projected benefit obligation). Derivative instruments. Transactions used to manage interest rate and/or currency risks. Dividend payout ratio. The dividend payout ratio is the ratio between the dividend for the fiscal year and the earnings per share. EBIT. Earnings Before Interest and Taxes. EBIT represents the results of operations. EBITDA. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Finance lease. Under a finance lease, the lessor transfers the investment risk to the lessee. This means that the lessor bears only the credit risk and any agreed services. The lessee is the beneficial owner of the leased asset. Finance leases are characterized by a fixed basic term during which the lease may not be terminated by the lessee. GDP. Gross domestic product is a measure of the economic performance of a national economy. It specifies the value of all goods and services produced within a country in a year. Gearing ratio. The gearing ratio represents the net indebtedness divided by total equity, expressed as a percentage. Hedging. Securing a transaction against risks, such as fluctuations in exchange rates, by entering into an offsetting hedge transaction, typically in the form of a forward contract. IAS. International Accounting Standards. Accounting standards of the IASB. IASB. International Accounting Standards Board. The authority that defines the International Financial Reporting Standards. IFRIC. International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (predecessor of the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee, IFRS IC). IFRS. International Financial Reporting Standards. The accounting standards of the IASB. IFRS IC. International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee. The body that determines appropriate accounting treatment in the context of existing IFRS and IAS. Interest rate swap. An interest rate swap is the exchange of interest payments between two parties. For example, this allows variable interest to be exchanged for fixed interest, or vice versa. Net indebtedness. The net amount of interest-bearing financial liabilities as recognized in the balance sheet, cash and cash equivalents, the positive fair values of the derivative instruments as well as other interest-bearing investments. Operating assets. Operating assets are the assets less liabilities as reported in the balance sheet, without recognizing the net indebtedness, discounted trade bills, deferred tax assets, income tax receivable and payable, as well as other financial assets and debts. According to our definition, operating assets correspond to capital employed. Operating lease. A form of lease that is largely similar to rental. Leased assets are recognized in the lessor s balance sheet and capitalized. PPA. Purchase Price Allocation. PPA is the process of breaking down the purchase price and assigning the values to the identified assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities following a business combination. Subsequent adjustments to the opening balance sheet resulting from differences between the preliminary and final fair values at the date of initial consolidation are recognized as PPA adjustments.

Standardized indicator for the international finance markets that assesses and classifies the creditworthiness of a debtor. The classification is the result of an economic analysis of the debtor by specialist rating companies. ROCE. Return On Capital Employed. We define ROCE as the ratio of EBIT to average operating assets for the fiscal year. SIC. Standing Interpretations Committee (predecessor to the IFRIC). Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). The WACC represents the weighted average cost of the required return on equity and net interest-bearing liabilities.
