1 Management's Comments

As already addressed at the beginning of 2019, the year started with negative economic activity data and, consequently, the production rate in the automotive industry has been more moderate than expected. As a result, the second quarter was also challenging.

The general market expectation is for the economy to recover bolstered by reforms and stimulus package which are being proposed by the Brazilian government for the second half of 2019. Therefore, the upward bias to vehicle output in Brazil is likely to continue.

The result of Argentina's presidential elections this year can help kick-start the country's economic recovery. In spite of adversities, we are striving to maintain the good results.

The best response to uncertainties facing us is MAHLE's business model, i.e., a balanced presence in our different market segments: Original Equipment (OE) and Aftermarket both in the domestic and international markets. This balance between our revenue streams allows us to offset fluctuations in these segments and stabilize our profitability margins over time.

So, the Company's revenue grew by 5.3% in 2Q19 compared with the same period in 2018, driven by strong sales in the domestic OE market (15.2%), Aftermarket (13.5%), which were partly offset by OE exports (-7.0%).

The chart below shows the Company's revenue broken down by market in 2Q19 and 2Q18:

In fact, in 2Q19 the Company reported EBITDA of R$ 114.9 million and an EBITDA margin of 17.4%.

MAHLE is systematically embracing a dual strategy for research and development. This means that, on the one hand, we are working intensively on the further optimization of internal combustion engines and, at the same time, we are focusing on the development of alternative drive concepts.

Regarding the development of new technologies, MAHLE Metal Leve is ready to serve customers with its portfolio of products and services and, if needed, possesses the capability to develop and deliver integrated solutions for customers. The ability to collaborate with several players is key to prospecting new cutting-edging technologies increasingly faster and thus boost our business opportunities.
