4 4 SHW AG Interim Report for the Period from 1 January to 30 September 2016 The SHW share Diminishing fears over potential Brexit effects ensure positive sentiment on the stock markets Diminishing fears over the possible effects of the unexpected outcome of the UK s referendum on its membership in the EU ( Brexit ), improving economic data in China, the US Federal Reserve s decision to leave its key interest rates unchanged, the Bank of England s interest-rate cut, robust labour market data in the USA and a lively M&A sector ensured price gains on the international stock markets. Concerns over the stability of the eurozone s banking sector, the lack of increased monetary stimulus measures from the ECB, the attacks in Nice, Munich and Ansbach and the attempted coup in Turkey put only temporarily pressure on the stock markets. Against this background, the key international market indexes consistently registered price gains. Germany s DAX index led the way, with growth of 8.6 per cent. In the third quarter of 2016, sentiment for automobile shares was positively influenced in particular by the growing discussion about electromobility and the electrification of the powertrain as featured at the Paris Motor Show (1 to 16 October). Moreover, the highly robust new registration figures in China were supporting the positive underlying sentiment and overcompensated the weakness on the North American market. Overall, the stock prices of the constituents of the DAXsector Automobile Performance index (CXPA) rose by 13.9 per cent to 1,357 points. In the third quarter of 2016, the SHW share performed much better than the benchmark index, finishing the quarter on a share price of 32.80, thus outperforming the DAXsector Automobile Performance index by 8.5 percentage points. The SHW share is currently pricing at (as at 25 October 2016). Price trend for SHW share and DAXsector Automobile Performance index (CXPA) in the period from July 2016 to October SW1 GY Equity CXPA Index Clear improvement in MDAX/SDAX ranking In line with the positive share price trend, also SHW AG s free float market capitalisation has registered a significant improvement over the past few months. Alongside order book sales, this is the second parameter which is relevant for the Company s MDAX/SDAX ranking. As at the reporting date 30 September 2016, SHW AG was in 106 th position in terms of its free float market

5 The SHW share 5 capitalisation ranking and in 78 th position in its liquidity ranking. To be readmitted to the SDAX through regular entry, SHW would need to achieve at least 100 th position in both of these areas. SHW would qualify for fast entry if it reached 95 th position in both rankings. Significantly higher interest on the part of value-oriented investors SHW Investor Relations aims to ensure a fair evaluation of the SHW share by the capital market. It does so on the basis of a continuous and open dialogue with all market participants and by providing precise and valuation-relevant information. As a capital market-oriented industrial firm listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange s Prime Standard segment, SHW AG mainly satisfies market participants information requirements by means of its quarterly financial reports published three times a year and by actively participating in investor conferences and roadshows. In the third quarter of 2016, the Management Board and the Investor Relations team of SHW AG once again provided detailed responses to questions from institutional investors by attending a management roadshow organised by Kepler Cheuvreux on 6 and 7 July in London and Edinburgh, Commerzbank s Sector Conference Week held on 31 August in Frankfurt, Bankhaus Lampe s Small Cap Conference on 15 September in Düsseldorf and the German Corporate Conference jointly hosted by Berenberg Bank and Goldman Sachs on 21 September in Munich. SHW also recorded a continuing heightened level of interest on the part of value-oriented investors in individual talks and plant visits. In the fourth quarter of 2016, on 6 December, SHW AG will attend the Berenberg European Corporate Conference in Pennyhill Park (south-west of London). Early next year, the Company will participate at Kepler Cheuvreux s German Corporate Conference on 17 January. Further management and investor relations roadshows are currently in the very early planning stages for 2017.

7 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 7 Interim Group Management Report Industry environment The key factor for any assessment of the industry environment of SHW AG is the production of light vehicles (vehicles < 6 tonnes) and related production of engines and transmissions in Europe, China and North America. Continued growth in automobile production In the period from January to September 2016, according to the most recent surveys conducted by the research firm IHS production of light vehicles (vehicles < 6 tonnes) increased worldwide by 3.4 per cent, from 65.4 million units to 67.7 million units. The trend continued to vary considerably in the world s key regions. Production of light vehicles by region (millions of units) Source: IHS October 2016 Production figures in China increased by 10.6 per cent to 18.6 million vehicles due to the VAT rate for compact cars with displacement of up to 1.6 litres being halved, initially until the end of In Europe (including Russia), production figures increased by 2.6 per cent, from 15.7 million vehicles to 16.1 million vehicles. The main sources of this volume growth were Spain (+7.6 per cent to 2.2 million units), the UK (+10.7 per cent to 1.4 million units), France (+5.4 per cent to 1.5 million units)

8 8 SHW AG Interim Report for the Period from 1 January to 30 September 2016 and Italy (+10.7 per cent to 0.8 million units). The production figures for Russia continued to slump (- 9.4 per cent to 0.9 million vehicles). Based on relatively robust consumer demand, North America recorded a production increase from 13.2 million to 13.5 million vehicles (+2.6 per cent). Vehicle production in South America continued to decline significantly. Light vehicle production fell by 16.1 per cent to 2.0 million units, particularly in light of an ongoing serious recession in Brazil. Demand for diesel engines remains stable In the first nine months of 2016, the production of gasoline engines for light vehicles (< 6 tonnes) increased worldwide by 3.3 per cent to 53.3 million units. Diesel engine production increased by 3.2 per cent to 14.0 million units, with particularly strong growth in Europe, in spite of the ongoing debate surrounding emissions. With 0.3 million units, electric motors continued to play a very minor role. Engine production worldwide (millions of units) Source: IHS October 2016 Engine production in China increased by a total of 10.0 per cent to 18.5 million units between January and September million of these were gasoline engines (+10.2 per cent) and 1.2 million were diesel engines (+1.7 per cent). In Europe (including Russia), a total of 17.4 million engines were manufactured (+2.4 per cent on the previous year). Production of diesel engines increased by 4.3 per cent to 8.4 million units, while production of gasoline engines was up by 0.5 per cent to 8.9 million units.

9 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 9 North America, which has always been a gasoline market, recorded a 4.9 per cent increase in production to 12.2 million engines in the first nine months of Production of gasoline engines reached 11.7 million units (+5.2 per cent), while production of diesel engines declined by 1.2 per cent to 0.4 million units. Automatic transmissions continue to gain ground In the first nine months of 2016, transmission production increased worldwide by 3.4 per cent to 67.7 million units. Production of automatic transmissions increased at an above-average rate of 6.6 per cent, from 36.4 million units to 38.8 million units. Their share of overall production therefore rose from 55.7 per cent to 57.4 per cent. China continued to be the main growth driver, with a 24.3 per cent increase in automatic transmissions to 6.2 million units. North America and Europe likewise recorded increases in automatic transmission production. Production in Europe rose by 3.8 per cent to 6.4 million units these transmissions share of overall production increased by approx. 0.7 percentage points from 37.5 per cent to 38.3 per cent. In North America, 11.0 million automatic transmission units were manufactured, 5.2 per cent more than in the first nine months of The share of overall production amounted to 98.3 per cent. Transmission production worldwide (millions of units) Source: IHS October 2016

10 10 SHW AG Interim Report for the Period from 1 January to 30 September 2016 Business performance and results of operations, net assets and financial position of the SHW Group Key performance indicators for the SHW Group Q3 Q1-Q3 K EUR Change Change Sales 96, , % 312, , % EBITDA adjusted 10,714 10, % 32,469 32, % as % of sales 11.1% 8.5% % 9.2% - Depreciation (excl. PPA) 6,147 5, % 18,343 16, % as % of sales 6.3% 5.0% - 5.9% 4.6% - EBIT adjusted 4,567 4, % 14,126 16, % as % of sales 4.7% 3.4% - 4.5% 4.6% - ROCE % 14.3% - Net income for the period 3,371 2, % 9,907 12, % Results of operations Decline in sales in the first nine months As at 30 September 2016, SHW AG reported Group sales of million (previous year million). As well as the decline in sales in the Pumps and Engine Components business segment, sales in the Brake Discs business segment were depressed by weaker unit sales and lower scrap prices on account of reduced material surcharges. Cost of sales ratio slightly down year-on-year In the reporting period, the cost of sales decreased by 13.3 per cent, from million to million. The cost of sales ratio thus declined from 90.0 per cent to 89.6 per cent. The negative effects of the lower total output were more than made up for on the earnings side through productivity gains achieved through the efficiency measures implemented in Powder Metallurgy at the Company s Aalen-Wasseralfingen plant and the associated elimination of operational and logistical bottlenecks in pump assembly at its Bad Schussenried plant. Despite the decline in sales, the gross profit margin increased in the reporting period from 10.0 per cent to 10.4 per cent. Selling and administrative expenses influenced by internationalisation In the first nine months of the fiscal year 2016, general selling and administrative expenses increased from 13.8 million to 14.3 million. In particular, this increase reflects the establishment and expansion of the Company s international sites.

11 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 11 Research and development costs stable At around 5.3 million, research and development costs in the first nine months of 2016 were at the previous year s level. In addition, development costs of 0.7 million (previous year 0.7 million) were capitalised. Further development services were billed within the scope of customer orders. The R&D ratio (including capitalised development costs) accordingly amounts to 1.7 per cent of sales (previous year 1.5 per cent). Transmission oil pumps and the electrification of pumps were the core areas of development in the Pumps and Engine Components business segment. The Brake Discs business segment is focusing on the ongoing development of high-quality composite brake discs and other lightweight concepts. Other operating income and expenses The balance of other operating income and other operating expenses in the first nine months of 2016 was above the previous year s level at 1.1 million. EBITDA margin increased to 10.4 per cent In the first nine months of the fiscal year 2016, adjusted consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA adjusted) amounted to 32.5 million (previous year 33.0 million). The EBITDA margin increased from 9.2 per cent to 10.4 per cent. The Pumps and Engine Components business segment recorded adjusted earnings of 27.1 million (previous year 26.0 million). Adjusted earnings in the Brake Discs business segment amounted to 6.6 million (previous year 7.8 million). Adjusted EBIT declined due to significant increase in depreciation Due to the 11.5 per cent investment-related increase in depreciation from 16.5 million to 18.3 million, adjusted income before interest and tax (EBIT adjusted) decreased from 16.5 million to 14.1 million. The adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 4.5 per cent, compared to 4.6 per cent in the previous year. Of the adjusted EBIT figure, 12.4 million (previous year 12.9 million) relates to the Pumps and Engine Components business segment and 3.2 million (previous year 4.6 million) to the Brake Discs business segment.

12 12 SHW AG Interim Report for the Period from 1 January to 30 September 2016 ROCE influenced by internationalisation, working capital and high level of depreciation The return on capital employed (ROCE) decreased from 14.3 per cent to 11.6 per cent in the first nine months of K EUR Goodwill 7,055 7,055 Other intangible assets 9,054 11,638 Property, plant and equipment 95,240 95,959 Deferred tax assets 5,025 4,659 Joint ventures accounted for according to the equity method 15,974 16,535 Other (financial) assets (non-current) 1,199 1,054 Inventories 46,704 39,960 Trade receivables 46,293 61,763 Other (financial) assets (current) 3,257 2,475 Capital employed asset item 229, ,098 Deferred tax liabilities -2,639-3,263 Other accruals (non-current) -4,078-3,652 Other financial liabilities (non-current) Trade payables -34,345-47,298 Other financial liabilities (current) -9,072-6,220 Income tax liabilities -1,728-1,163 Other accruals (current) -7,569-9,534 Other liabilities (current) -9,440-12,060 Capital employed liability item -68,974-83,296 Capital employed 160, ,802 EBIT adjusted (12 months) 18,614 21,059 Net income from joint ventures accounted for according to the equity method (12 months) 120 1,466 EBIT adjusted including net income from joint ventures accounted for according to the equity method (12 months) 18,734 22,525 ROCE 11.6% 14.3% Financial result and income from investments In the period from January to September 2016, the balance of financial income and expenses excluding income from investments was slightly lower than in the previous year. In particular, this reflects a lower average level of financial debt compared to the previous year. Net income from joint ventures accounted for according to the equity method relates exclusively to the Chinese joint venture SHW Longji Brake Discs (LongKou) Co., Ltd., which has been included in the consolidated financial statements of SHW AG since 1 April Of the previous year s figure of 1.5 million, 1.2 million relates to the recording through profit or loss of negative goodwill from the company s initial recognition in the second quarter of 2015.

13 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 13 Income taxes Income taxes decreased by 0.8 million to 3.6 million, due to the lower pre-tax earnings in the first nine months of the fiscal year At 26.7 per cent, the Group s tax ratio is slightly above the previous year s level of 26.4 per cent. Net income for the period Earnings after tax decreased by 2.4 million to 9.9 million in the first nine months of the fiscal year 2016 due to the decrease in sales. In the first nine months of 2016, earnings per share reached 1.54, compared with 1.95 in the previous year. Development of the business segments Pumps and Engine Components business segment Key performance indicators Pumps and Engine Components Q3 Q1-Q3 K EUR Change Change Sales 74,833 93, % 245, , % EBITDA adjusted 8,392 7, % 27,145 25, % as % of sales 11.2% 8.3% % 9.1% - Depreciation (excl. PPA) 4,970 4, % 14,781 13, % as % of sales 6.6% 5.1% - 6.0% 4.6% - EBIT adjusted 3,422 3, % 12,364 12, % as % of sales 4.6% 3.2% - 5.0% 4.5% - ROCE % 17.0% - Declining sales trend in line with expectations The Pumps and Engine Components business segment reported sales of million in the first nine months of 2016 (previous year million). Sales in the Passenger Car division declined from million to million. This decline in sales is due in particular to the termination of a contract for camshaft phasers for diesel vehicles as part of a customer s changeover to the urea injection system (SCR technology). The Industry division contributed 20.7 million to sales (previous year 22.0 million). The Powder Metallurgy division closed the first nine months of 2016 with consolidated sales of 21.0 million (previous year 24.3 million).

14 14 SHW AG Interim Report for the Period from 1 January to 30 September 2016 EBITDA margin increased to 11.1 per cent Despite the decline in sales, the Pumps and Engine Components business segment recorded improved adjusted EBITDA of 27.1 million in the period under review (previous year 26.0 million). The EBITDA margin increased from 9.1 per cent to 11.1 per cent. Following the timely conclusion of measures to boost powder metallurgy productivity at the plant in Aalen-Wasseralfingen at the end of the first quarter of 2016, the operational and logistical bottlenecks in pump production in Bad Schussenried were likewise eliminated. Lower costs for external processing, finishing and expedited freights have made a significant contribution to the improved EBITDA margin. The business of the foreign subsidiaries in Canada and China developed as planned. Expenses for the forward-looking establishment and expansion of these two foreign plants are incorporated in the operating segment earnings. EBIT influenced by higher depreciation due to investments Due to the 13.1 per cent increase in depreciation to 14.8 million, the segment s adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT adjusted) decreased from 12.9 million to 12.4 million. The adjusted EBIT margin of 5.0 per cent was half a percentage point above the previous year s level. Development of the Brake Discs business segment Key performance indicators Brake Discs Q3 Q1-Q3 K EUR Change Change Sales 22,123 25, % 66,781 74, % EBITDA adjusted 2,817 2, % 6,579 7, % as % of sales 12.7% 10.8% - 9.9% 10.5% - Depreciation (excl. PPA) 1,102 1, % 3,336 3, % as % of sales 5.0% 4.5% - 5.0% 4.3% - EBIT adjusted 1,715 1, % 3,243 4, % as % of sales 7.8% 6.3% - 4.9% 6.2% - ROCE % 13.0% - Sales influenced by falling unit sales and lower material surcharges In the Brake Discs business segment, sales declined by 10.3 per cent to 66.8 million in the first nine months of the 2016 fiscal year. This was mainly due to the decline in sales of single-piece brake discs, which could not be completely offset by higher sales of composite brake discs. Sales were also depressed during most of the first nine months by lower cost prices for scrap and correspondingly reduced material surcharges which were passed on to the customers.

15 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 15 EBITDA margin of 9.9 per cent The lower capacity utilisation was partially compensated by the disciplined implementation of productivity-boosting measures and the ramp-up of composite brake discs. Adjusted EBITDA in the Brake Discs business segment therefore declined by just 1.2 million in the first nine months to 6.6 million. The EBITDA margin decreased from 10.5 per cent to 9.9 per cent. There was briefly a significant spike in cost prices for scrap in the second quarter of This price increase could not be passed on to the customers until the third quarter of EBIT adjusted influenced by higher depreciation Due to a further 4.9 per cent increase in depreciation to 3.3 million, adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT adjusted) decreased from 4.6 million to 3.2 million. The adjusted EBIT margin accordingly decreased to 4.9 per cent, compared to 6.2 per cent in the previous year. Net asset position Fixed assets Other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment totalled million as at 30 September 2016, 3.3 million below the previous year s level. Depreciation considerably outstripped asset additions in the past nine months. Working capital ratio above target value K EUR Change in absolute terms Change as % Inventories 46,704 39,960 6, % Trade receivables 46,293 61,763-15, % Trade payables -34,345-47,298 12, % Working capital 58,652 54,425 4, % as % of sales 14.1% 11.7% - - As at 30 September 2016, working capital increased by 4.2 million compared to the previous year and amounted to 58.7 million. At 14.1 per cent, the working capital ratio referring to the Group sales over the past twelve months was 2.4 percentage points above the previous year s level and therefore also above the long-term target of 11.0 per cent. As at the end of the third quarter of 2016, inventories increased by 6.7 million compared to their volume as at 30 September This rise is largely attributable to an increase in inventories of finished goods resulting from a reduction in delivery backlogs and the corresponding improvement in delivery readiness. The 25.0 per cent decrease in trade receivables to 46.3 million compared to 30 September 2015 is particularly high compared to the 12.9 per cent decline in sales and is mainly attributable to a targeted accounts receivable management system.

16 16 SHW AG Interim Report for the Period from 1 January to 30 September 2016 Trade payables decreased by around 13.0 million on the same quarter in the previous year to 34.3 million. In addition to the lower business volume in the first nine months of 2016, this development is in particular attributable to comparatively low asset additions. Equity ratio above 50 per cent Equity increased by 6.2 million to million compared to 30 September In particular, net income over the past twelve months totalling 11.9 million boosted the Company s equity. This contrasts with a dividend payment of 6.4 million. A reduction in the balance sheet total of 9.4 million to million led the equity ratio to increase from 46.6 per cent as at 30 September 2015 to 51.2 per cent as at 30 September Other liabilities The increase in other current financial liabilities relates to the second purchase price instalment still outstanding for the joint venture SHW Longji Brake Discs (LongKou) Co., Ltd., which translates to 6.6 million. Financial position Free cash flow in the first nine months of 2016 influenced by increase in working capital and lower investments Q3 Q1-Q3 K EUR Cash flow from operating activities 3,193 4,849 2,913 18,021 Cash flow from investing activities (intangible assets and property, plant and equipment) -6,741-4,979-16,424-21,619 Free operating cash flow -3, ,511-3,598 Cash flow from investing activities (financial assets) ,931 Total free cash flow -3, ,511-12,529 Other items (in particular, capital increase/dividend payments) ,594 17,841 Change in net liquidity -3, ,105 5,312 Over the first nine months of the fiscal year 2016, the SHW Group generated cash flow from operating activities in the amount of 2.9 million (previous year: 18.0 million). On the basis of a 2.4 million decrease in net income for the period, higher depreciation ( +1.8 million) and other non-cash effective expenses and income ( +2.2 million), had a particularly positive influence on the operating cash flow. This was in particular offset by cash-effective changes in inventories, receivables, other assets and liabilities ( -8.1 million) and a decline in provisions ( -7.6 million). As a result, working capital increased by 4.2 million compared to the same period in the previous year and was therefore the major cause of the reduction in operating cash flow.

17 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 17 In the first nine months of 2016, cash flow from investing activities relating to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment was significantly lower than the previous year s figure of million at million. Of the fixed asset additions in the first nine months of the reporting year, 11.6 million related to the Pumps and Engine Components business segment and 4.8 million to the Brake Discs business segment. Net financial liabilities reduced by 1.3 million Net financial liabilities amounted to 7.8 million at the end of the first nine months. This represents an improvement of 1.3 million on the previous year s figure. Employees In the first nine months of the fiscal year 2016, the Group s average number of employees decreased on the previous year from 1,281 to 1,264. The Pumps and Engine Components business segment s German plants mostly accounted for this reduction in employees. The number of employees at international plants increased to 26. Average number of employees Report on risks and opportunities No significant changes have resulted in the assessment of the risks and opportunities for the SHW Group compared to the comments on risks and opportunities provided in the Company s Annual Report for 2015 (pages 63 to 70 and 73 to 74).

18 18 SHW AG Interim Report for the Period from 1 January to 30 September 2016 Forecast Outlook for the industry Moderate growth rates anticipated for 2016 Based on the most recent forecasts, the IHS market research institute expects global light vehicle production (vehicles < 6 tonnes) to increase by 3.0 per cent in 2016, from 88.7 million vehicles to 91.4 million vehicles. The key growth drivers here are the increases in production in China and Europe (including Russia). IHS assumes growth of 7.4 per cent to 25.8 million vehicles for China (incl. Taiwan), and for Europe an increase of 2.6 per cent to 21.5 million vehicles. IHS still expects to see a significant downturn in production of 12.2 per cent to 2.7 million vehicles in South America. Production of light vehicles by region (millions of units) Source: IHS October 2016 IHS s experts are anticipating a 2.6 per cent increase in production in Europe in This growth will mainly be supported by increases in production in Spain (+6.6 per cent to 2.9 million vehicles), the UK (+9.2 per cent to 1.8 million vehicles), France (+5.7 per cent to 2.1 million vehicles) and Turkey (+8.5 per cent to 1.4 million vehicles). Further growth in combustion engines Based on the IHS research institute s analyses, the assumption is that global engine production will increase by 3.0 per cent to 91.4 million units in The gasoline engine remains the leading engine type, with a global market share of 78.9 per cent (previous year 79.1 per cent). The industry experts predict slight growth of 3.4 per cent for diesel engines worldwide in 2016, to 18.8 million units. This would represent a market share of 20.5 per cent (previous year 20.5 per cent). Electric motors

19 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 19 continue to play a subordinate role, accounting for 0.5 per cent of global engine production. Engine production worldwide (millions of units) Source: IHS October 2016 China s expected volume growth of 7.0 per cent to 25.7 million units mainly relates to the production of gasoline engines (+6.8 per cent). Diesel engines will remain a long way behind, with a market share of 6.7 per cent. In Europe, diesel engines are expected to register slightly increased production figures, with 11.2 million units (+4.0 per cent). Gasoline engines are expected to account for 11.9 million units (+1.3 per cent).

Scope of consolidation Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from their date of acquisition, i.e. from the date as of which the Group directly or indirectly controls the entity as defined by IFRS 10. An entity is controlled if SHW AG is able to decide on the relevant activities of the subsidiary due to voting rights or other rights, if it receives the positive or negative variable returns generated by this subsidiary and if it may influence these returns by virtue of its decision-making authority. Subsidiaries are no longer included in the Consolidated Financial Statements as soon as the parent company ceases to control the subsidiary.
