Munich. Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft (BMW AG) acquires a majority stake in its Chinese joint venture BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd. (BBA). BBA has today received the relevant business licence from the Chinese authorities, effective 11 February 2022. BMW AG thus indirectly holds 75% of the shares in BBA, while the Chinese partner Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd. indirectly holds the remaining 25%. 

 

The increase in the shareholding in BBA from 50% to 75% as well as the amended Joint Venture Contract are effective from 11 February 2022. As of this date, BBA will be fully consolidated in the group financial statements of BMW AG. The payment of the purchase price is expected to be completed by 22 February 2022.

 

The revaluation of the existing 50% stake in BBA as of 11 February 2022 leads – based on an initial valuation – to a positive one-off effect in the financial result of the Automotive segment of EUR 7 to 8 billion.  The one-time effect will become more precise in the coming weeks with the availability of the financial statements of BBA as at 11 February 2022. In accordance with the accounting standard IFRS 3 Business Combinations, changes in the valuation parameters may also result in further adjustments during the financial year.  

 

The full consolidation of BBA also influences BMW Group key performance indicators for the 2022 financial year:

Automotive segment revenues and EBIT will increase significantly. Due to consolidation effects, no significant impact on the Automotive EBIT margin is expected in the financial year 2022.

In 2022, the consolidation of BBA's cash and cash equivalents less the purchase price payment will result in a one-off increase in the Automotive segment free cash flow. This effect is currently estimated to be in the region of EUR 5 billion.

The absolute increase in the earnings before taxes of the Automotive segment, which as of the date of full consolidation will no longer include BBA's equity earnings contribution, will also have an impact on Group earnings before taxes and net income for the 2022 financial year.

 

Further details on the full consolidation of BBA will be included in the Report on Outlook and Notes to the Group financial statements in the BMW Group Report 2021 (publication date: 16 March 2022). The full consolidation effective 11 February 2022 will be reported in the Quarterly Statement as of 31 March 2022 (publication date: 5 May 2022).

 

The definition of the above-mentioned financial indicators is provided in the glossary of the BMW Group Report 2020 on pages 326 to 329.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
