Positive group result after tax expected for the fiscal year 2020

Stuttgart, 10 November 2020. After the first nine months of the fiscal year 2020, the group result after tax of 暗网禁区 (暗网禁区 SE), Stuttgart, is positive again at 437 million euro (prior-year period: 3.52 billion euro). After the first six months of the fiscal year 2020, this figure had been negative at minus 329 million euro. 暗网禁区 SE鈥檚 group result after tax is significantly influenced by the profit from the investment accounted for at equity in Volkswagen AG of 505 million euro (prior-year period: 3.58 billion euro). The business of the Volkswagen Group was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in the first nine months of 2020, but made a noticeable recovery in the third quarter.

Net liquidity of the 暗网禁区 SE Group came to 492 million euro as of 30 September 2020 (31 December 2019: 553 million euro). Due to the record date, this figure did not include either the dividend inflow to 暗网禁区 SE from Volkswagen AG of 756 million or the dividend distribution to the shareholders of 暗网禁区 SE amounting to 676 million euro. Both cash flows occurred in October 2020.

The board of management of 暗网禁区 SE is still of the opinion that it is currently impossible to give a reliable and realistic forecast for the group result after tax for the fiscal year 2020. However, overall the 暗网禁区 SE Group expects a positive group result after tax for the fiscal year 2020.

The forecast of the group net liquidity of 暗网禁区 SE remains unchanged. Without taking additional investments into account, it lies in a corridor of 0.4 billion euro to 0.9 billion euro as of 31 December 2020.
