Interim Management Statement for the trading period ending 31 March 2013

Summary of the first quarter

• Consolidated sales down 5.5% (-4.8% on a like-for-like basis¹).
  • D’Ieteren Auto: sales down 10.7% (-9.7% on a like-for-like basis¹). Market share of 20.84% in a broadly stable market;
  • Belron: sales up 1.6%, consisting of an organic growth of 1.6%, an acquisition growth of 2.7%, a negative currency translation effect of 0.5% and an unfavourable calendar effect of 2.2%.
• Current consolidated result before tax, group’s share, down 1.4%.

Guidance

• Given that the start of the year (including April) is broadly in line with expectations, D’Ieteren still expects its 2013 current consolidated result before tax, group’s share, to decline by
  10 to15% compared with 2012.

Consolidated key figures

- Belron	+1.6%

¹ At the start of 2012, D’Ieteren SA and Volkswagen Financial Services AG created a joint venture, Volkswagen D’Ieteren Finance SA (VDFin), to which D’Ieteren contributed its subsidiary D’Ieteren Lease, and which is accounted for using the equity method since 1^st January 2012. So that the 2013 performance can be compared with 2012, sales of used cars by D’Ieteren S.A. on behalf of VDFin during January-February 2012 have been restated as if they were made by VDFin.
