HIGH GROWTH IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN (CEE) AUTOMOTIVE MARKETS 3 Key drivers Low current levels of penetration of auto ownership Old age of car parc need for replacement Fast rising economies (GNP) and consumer disposable incomes - higher income groups growing disproportionately fast Increased availability of automotive finance products couple with declining interest rates (especially in new EU entrants) For Russia and Ukraine, declining tariff protection in context of WTO negotiations rapid gains of foreign OEMs, against uncompetitive Soviet legacy producers

WTO ENTRY WILL SET TRADE FRAMEWORK FOR AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE 12 Russia s entry into WTO expected to lower import tariffs, yet timing is unclear Russia declared commitment to WTO entry, yet exact timing is not clear WTO entry expected in early 2006, but could slip Multiple issues need to be solved before entry WTO entry expected to lower auto tariffs from 35% to 25% and then to 10% in the first five years Proposed component tariffs at 0-5% stimulating investment by foreign producers (e.g. Toyota) Ukraine s upcoming entry into WTO by end-2005 would force import tariffs reduction New Ukrainian government intent on WTO entry by end-2005 As a part of programme to increase cooperation with the West, with a view to eventual EU entry In competition with Russia over which country would be the first to join WTO WTO entry would lower tariffs from current 20% to 10% by 2008 Government committed to this course of action Domestic auto manufacturers lobbying for policy like Russian one WTO entry should lower import tariffs significantly in both countries, increasing penetration of foreign cars, both imported and locally assembled, at expense of domestic industries

CHARACTERISTICS OF DEALERSHIP STRUCTURE ATTRACTIVE FOR INVESTMENT 15 Average dealer size higher than in western Europe New EU entrants: 10% larger on average Russia, Ukraine: 2-3x larger (foreign brands) Combined with low dealership density relative to population, means need for new dealerships Concentration of sales in capitals/major cities Especially for premium brands Foreign brands in CIS Higher levels of profitability than in West Higher scale, lower factor costs (especially labour) yet, additional profit contributors from financial products, service, used cars still underdeveloped
