In addition to employees at Porsche SE, the comparative figure as of 31 December 2021 also includes employees at PTV Planung Transport Verkehr GmbH ("PTV"), with its subsidiaries (together the "PTV Group").

Porsche SE is a holding company with investments in the areas of mobility and industrial technology. In particular, it holds the majority of the ordinary shares in Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft ("Volkswagen AG", "Volkswagen" or "VW AG"), one of the world's leading automobile manufacturers.

In addition to these two core investments, the Porsche SE Group holds non-controlling interests in nine technology companies based in Germany, Israel, Canada, Luxembourg and the USA.

The investment strategy of Porsche SE aims to create sustainable value for its shareholders. This is based on the increase in value of assets under management as well as dividend distributions. The investments of Porsche SE fall into two categories. The first category includes the long-term core investments in Volkswagen AG and in Porsche AG. The second category comprises portfolio investments that Porsche SE generally holds for a temporary period of time. Typically, such investments are characterized by their high potential for growth and for increasing value during the holding period. The sector focus in both investment categories is on mobility and industrial technology.

Covid-19 pandemic

The global spread of the Omicron variant of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) had a substantial impact in some regions on social and economic life in the reporting period.

Prices rose substantially, particularly on the energy and commodity markets, and there were significant increases in interest and inflation rates internationally.
