Prior to the coronavirus outbreak, the company's planning envisaged the Automotive segment posting a slight increase in sales. The spread of the coronavirus slowed the BMW Group's worldwide vehicle sales. We now expect global sales in 2020 to be
much lower than last year. In light of the negative effects of the pandemic and the assessment that deliveries in all markets would return to normal levels after a few weeks, we had published an EBIT margin target of 2% to 4% for the year as a whole by
mid-March 2020. Other than assumed by mid-March 2020, we do now expect that the economic environment will only begin to stabilize in the third quarter of the year. Accordingly, we are expanding our guidance for the financial year and are expecting an
EBIT margin of between 0 and 3%, with the first half of the year being affected more than H2.
