NOTES
(1) Completed merger of Peugeot S.A. ('PSA') with and into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. ('FCA') on January 16, 2021 ('Merger'). On January 17, 2021, combined company was renamed Stellantis N.V. ('Stellantis' or 'Group'). PSA was determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, therefore, the historical financial statements of Stellantis represent the continuing operations of PSA, which also reflect the loss of control and the classification of Faurecia S.E. (Faurecia) as a discontinued operation as of January 1, 2021 with the restatement of comparative periods. Acquisition date of business combination was January 17, 2021, therefore, results of FCA for the period January 1 -16, 2021 are excluded from Q1 2021 results unless otherwise stated. Q1 2021 Pro Forma results are presented as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2020 and include results of FCA for the period January 1 -16, 2021. Q1 2020 represents results of the continuing operations of PSA only and are not directly comparable to previously reported results of PSA and reflect accounting policies and reporting classifications of the Group. Q1 2020 Pro Forma results are presented as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2020. Amounts are subject to change, as the Group's purchase price allocation ('PPA') accounting has not been finalized.
(2) Passenger cars plus LCVs. Market share information is derived from third-party industry sources (e.g. European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), Ward's Automotive, Associação Nacional dos Fabricantes de Veículos Automotores (ANFAVEA)) and internal information.
(3) EU 27 (excluding Malta) + Iceland + Norway+ Switzerland + UK.
(4) Combined shipments include shipments by the Stellantis Group's consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated joint ventures. Consolidated shipments only include shipments by the Stellantis Group's consolidated subsidiaries.
(5) Represents simple aggregation of FCA and PSA inventory units as of period end.
(6) Source: IHS Global Insight, Wards, China Passenger Car Association and Group estimates.
(7) Adjusted operating income/(loss) excludes from Net profit/(loss) from continuing operations adjustments comprising restructuring, impairments, asset write-offs, disposals of investments and unusual operating income/(expense) that are considered rare or discrete events and are infrequent in nature, as inclusion of such items is not considered to be indicative of the Group's ongoing operating performance, and also excludes Net financial expenses, Tax expense/(benefit) and Share of the profit of equity method investees. Guidance does not reflect impacts from purchase accounting adjustments or changes in accounting policies as required by IFRS in connection with the Merger.
