Consolidated subsidiaries

The Volkswagen Group acquired a majority stake in MAN SE, Munich, on November 9, 2011 under the terms of a mandatory public offer. The analysis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was only completed in the reporting period for reasons of time. Following an adjustment based on better knowledge, the business combination generated goodwill of €759 million (originally €575 million). The updated purchase price allocation resulted in the adjustment of the corresponding prior-year comparative figures. This updating had no effect on the prior-year income statement. The goodwill is not tax-deductible.

The following table shows the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities:

€505 million of the goodwill and €1,158 million of the brand names are allocated to the MAN Commercial Vehicles operating segment, which is part of the Trucks and Buses reporting segment; the remaining goodwill of €254 million and the remaining brand names of €470 million are allocated to the Power Engineering segment.

In fiscal year 2012, Volkswagen acquired further shares in MAN SE for €2,081 million and, as of December 31, 2012, held 75.03% of the voting rights and 73.72% of the share capital of MAN SE. The difference of €–678 million arising from the acquisition of further shares was recognized directly in equity.

The shares of Scania AB held by MAN SE increase the interest in the capital of Scania attributable to Volkswagen AG shareholders to 59.13% (December 31, 2011: 56.94%). The resulting difference of €–73 million was recognized directly in equity.

The share of noncontrolling interests acquired in the equity of MAN and Scania was €1,331 million.

On August 1, 2012, Porsche Automobil Holding SE, Stuttgart (Porsche SE), contributed its holding company operating business to Volkswagen AG by way of singular succession in the course of a capital increase with a mixed noncash contribution.

The business acquired from Porsche SE consists in particular of the 50.1% interest held by Porsche SE in Porsche Holding Stuttgart GmbH, Stuttgart (Porsche Holding Stuttgart) (formerly: Porsche Zweite Zwischenholding GmbH, Stuttgart, as the legal successor to Porsche Zwischenholding GmbH, Stuttgart), and thus indirectly in Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart (Porsche AG), and of all other subsidiaries of Porsche SE existing at the contribution date (with the exception of the interest in Volkswagen AG), as well as receivables from and liabilities to companies of the Porsche Holding Stuttgart Group.

With unit sales of 117 thousand vehicles, premium sports car manufacturer Porsche AG generated sales revenue of €10,928 million and profit before tax of €2,108 million in fiscal year 2011. The integration of Porsche allows the Volkswagen Group to expand its product portfolio in the premium segment.

Volkswagen AG increased its share capital by €2.56 by issuing one new ordinary bearer share and allowed Porsche SE to subscribe for this new share; the preemptive rights of the other shareholders were disapplied. Volkswagen AG paid €4,495 million to Porsche SE as further consideration. The cash consideration is based on the equity value of €3,883 million for the remaining 50.1% interest in Porsche Holding Stuttgart (and thus indirectly in Porsche AG) held by Porsche SE set out in the Comprehensive Agreement, and also comprises a number of adjustment items. Among other things, Porsche SE will be remunerated for dividend payments from its indirect interest in Porsche AG that it would have received as well as for half of the present value of the net synergies realizable as a result of the accelerated integration, which amount to a total of approximately €320 million.

Based on the updated assumptions underlying the valuation at the acquisition date, Volkswagen AG’s call option on the shares of Porsche Holding Stuttgart agreed in the Comprehensive Agreement with Porsche SE has a positive fair value of €10,199 million (December 31, 2011: €8,409 million) and the corresponding put option has a negative fair value of €2 million (December 31, 2011: €87 million). The fair values of the options are included in the cost of the business combination. The difference attributable to the updated fair values amounting to €1,875 million was recognized in the other financial result.

The shares of Porsche Holding Stuttgart, which were accounted for using the equity method at the acquisition date, were revalued at their fair value of €12,566 million on acquisition of the remaining shares. Measurement of the shares uses the same assumptions that were also used to measure the options on the outstanding shares of Porsche Holding Stuttgart and is based on Porsche Holding Stuttgart’s business plans. The transition from the equity method to consolidation resulted in a noncash book gain of €10,399 million, which was recognized in the share of profits and losses of equity-accounted investments; this includes amounts totaling €–316 million that were previously recognized directly in equity and that were transferred to the income statement.

The measurement basis for the goodwill is calculated as follows:

The costs incurred in connection with the issue of the new ordinary share reduced the capital reserves by €1 million, net of deferred taxes. The other transaction-related costs incurred to date of €3 million were recognized as expenses.

The analysis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was not completed by the date of issue of the consolidated financial statements for reasons of time. Preliminary purchase price allocation indicates that the business combination generated goodwill of €18,871 million. The goodwill is not tax-deductible.

The following table shows the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities:

The goodwill and the brand name are allocated to the Porsche operating segment, which is part of the Passenger Cars and Light Commercial Vehicles reporting segment.

The gross carrying amount of the receivables acquired was €9,858 million at the acquisition date, and the net carrying amount (equivalent to the fair value) was €9,775 million. Of this total, gross carrying amounts of €6,449 million (net carrying amounts: €6,449 million) are attributable to acquired loans and gross carrying amounts of €1,202 million (net carrying amounts: €1,127 million) are attributable to acquired finance lease receivables. The depreciable noncurrent assets have remaining useful lives of between 4 months and 50 years.

As of December 31, 2012, the inclusion of the company increased the Group’s sales revenue by €4,534 million and increased its profit after tax, net of write-downs of hidden reserves identified in the course of purchase price allocation, by €292 million. If Porsche had been included as of January 1, 2012, the Group’s sales revenue after consolidation as of December 31, 2012 would have been approximately €6,208 million higher and its profit after tax, net of write-downs of hidden reserves identified in the course of purchase price allocation, would have been approximately €656 million higher.

The contribution of Porsche SE’s holding company operating business increases the consolidated Group by 107 consolidated subsidiaries.

As of July 19, 2012, the Volkswagen Group acquired 100% of the voting rights of motorcycle manufacturer Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A., Bologna, Italy, against payment of a purchase price of €747 million, via Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., Sant’ Agata Bolognese, Italy, a subsidiary of AUDI AG. The acquisition of Ducati – a leading international manufacturer of premium motorcycles with significant expertise in high-performance engines and lightweight construction – has seen the Group move into the growth market for high-quality motorcycles. The Ducati Group sold 42,016 motorcycles in calendar year 2011, generating sales revenue of €479 million.

The analysis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was not completed by the date of issue of the consolidated financial statements for reasons of time. The provisional goodwill determined in the amount of €290 million contains intangible assets that are not separable and that cannot be attributed to contractual or other rights, such as the expertise of Ducati’s employees. The goodwill is not tax-deductible. The transaction-related costs incurred to date of €1 million were recognized as expenses.

The following table shows the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities:

The gross carrying amount of the receivables acquired was €153 million at the acquisition date, and the net carrying amount (equivalent to the fair value) was €142 million.

As of December 31, 2012, the inclusion of the company increased the Group’s sales revenue by €209 million and reduced its profit, net of write-downs of hidden reserves identified in the course of purchase price allocation, by €27 million. If Ducati had been included in the consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2012, the Group’s sales revenue after consolidation as of December 31, 2012 would have been approximately €422 million higher and its profit after tax, net of write-downs of hidden reserves identified in the course of purchase price allocation, would have been approximately €34 million higher.

In order to strengthen its sales activities, Volkswagen acquired all shares of KPI Polska Sp.z o.o., Poznan (KPI Polska), effective January 1, 2012. KPI Polska is the exclusive importer and distributor of various Volkswagen Group brands in Poland. At the same time, Volkswagen acquired from the previous owners of KPI Polska the outstanding shares of the former jointly controlled companies Volkswagen Leasing Polska Sp.z o.o., Warsaw, and Volkswagen Bank Polska S.A., Warsaw. The purchase price paid amounted to €254 million in total. The measurement of the existing shares in the financial services companies at a fair value of €66 million resulted in a noncash book gain of €21 million, which was recognized in the share of profits and losses of equity-accounted investments.

In addition, on March 28, 2012, the Volkswagen Group acquired through MAN Truck & Bus AG, Munich, the remaining shares (apart from one share) of MAN TRUCKS India Private Limited, Akurdi/India (formerly: MAN FORCE TRUCKS Private Limited, Akurdi/India), which until then had been a joint venture, against payment of €150 million. The company has been consolidated since that date. MAN TRUCKS India produces CLA series heavy MAN trucks for the Indian market and for export to Asian and African countries. The shares, which were accounted for using the equity method at the acquisition date, were recognized at their acquisition-date fair value of €73 million. This resulted in a noncash book loss of €37 million, which was recognized in the share of profits and losses of equity-accounted investments. The measurement basis for the goodwill from the two transactions is calculated as follows:

Transaction-related costs of €3.5 million were recognized directly as expenses.

The following main groups of assets and liabilities were acquired and assumed for KPI Polska, the Polish financial services companies and MAN TRUCKS India:

The gross carrying amount of the receivables was €708 million at the acquisition date, and the net carrying amount (equivalent to the fair value) was €668 million. The depreciable noncurrent assets have remaining useful lives of between 24 months and 40 years.

The goodwill from the acquisition of KPI Polska amounts to €58 million and is allocated to the Volkswagen Passenger Cars operating segment, which is part of the Passenger Cars and Light Commercial Vehicles reporting segment. The goodwill of €28 million attributable to the Polish financial services companies is allocated to the Volkswagen Financial Services operating segment, which is part of the Financial Services reporting segment. The provisional goodwill from the acquisition of MAN TRUCKS India amounts to €208 million and is allocated to the MAN Commercial Vehicles operating segment, which is part of the Trucks and Buses reporting segment. The goodwill from the acquisitions is not tax-deductible.

The initial inclusion of the abovementioned companies had no material effect on the Volkswagen Group’s sales revenue and profit after tax.

The abovementioned fair values of the assets and liabilities were determined as far as possible using observable market prices. If market prices could not be determined, recognized valuation techniques were used to measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

In addition, five domestic companies that were not consolidated in the previous year, three newly formed domestic companies, two newly acquired domestic companies, as well as 13 newly acquired foreign companies, 13 newly formed foreign companies and 23 foreign companies that were not consolidated in the previous year were consolidated for the first time. The initial inclusion of these subsidiaries, either individually or collectively, did not have a significant effect on the presentation of the Company’s position. The number of consolidated domestic subsidiaries was also reduced by the merger/liquidation of three companies, while the number of consolidated foreign subsidiaries was reduced by the merger/liquidation of 31 companies.
