Corporate & growth strategy (incl. M&A)

� Within today’s automotive landscape, many companies aspire to further expand their business while in certain regions even new automotive players emerge (e.g. China); in order to successfully realize such plans, profound market entry/growth strategies are key

� Besides internal growth projects, automotive industry players are frequently utilizing M&A transactions to grow or secure their business , especially in sectors where the incumbent players either face consolidation (e.g. German intercity coach market) or are forced by customers to expand their global footprint (e.g. acquiring a supplier in Mexico)

� Developing market entry strategies along the “4Ps” product, pricing, place and promotion accompanied by a production strategy

� Ensuring products match customer demand

� Full-fledge M&A advise− Developing a comprehensive

perspective on potential M&A targets and identifying a short-list of targets (incl. first outlook on synergies)

− Performing a strategic due diligence of the selected target(s)

− Ensuring a professional post merger integration

− Creating viable business cases(incl. profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow)

Industry situation and outlook


Brand development

� As recent examples in the automotive industry show, even solid products are no guarantee for success if the brand of the product does not appeal to the target group

� Fancy brand definitions are only a piece of paper if the values are not properly translated into the organization as well as their products and services

� In general, having a strong, vibrant and finally relevant brand is becoming an increasingly essential asset as several transactions in the automotive sector illustrate, e.g.− Tata Motors spent $ 2.3bn to acquire the

Jaguar and Land Rover brands in 2008− Geely paid $ 1.8bn to acquire the

Volvo brand in 2010

� Developing a corporate vision and brand strategy/identity (incl. values, facets) as well as defining key USPs of the brand

� Identifying an attractive and sufficiently sized target group and deriving a crisp description of the respective product needs based on proven segmentation models (e.g. SIGMA Milieus®)

� Developing a brand and product attribute profile in the context of competition and market demand to derive specific targets (best-in-class, top-3, acceptable standard)

� Consolidating the main targets in a comprehensive target picture (incl. financial KPIs) and developing a long term-plan

Product strategy & development

� Increasing customer expectations ,especially regarding vehicle design and speed of new innovations, are affecting the automotive industry; thus, implementing a well structured and efficient product development process is crucial for any automotive OEM

� Particularly in emerging countries like China, new automotive ventures are formed without longstanding experience in vehicle development within the organization

� Moreover, today’s major OEMs use modularized platform approaches to create economies of scale and increase their cost competitiveness

� Holistic perspective on the design of automotive product development processes (PDP) to help OEMs create competitive products (passenger and commercial vehicles) at cost and in time

� Guiding vehicle projects through the concept phase to ensure coherence to the brand and product attribute profile, customer expectations and cost targets

� In-depth understanding of individual process steps within the PDP (concept, series development, pre-production)

� Insights into future product trends and customer demand based on proven market data as well as our broad expert network

Organizational transformation

� The global automotive industry is going through a situation of continuous transformation driven by several megatrends ; especially topics like autonomous driving, powertrain electrification, digitalization and global growth are challenging for OEMs and suppliers

� In general, companies regularly have to manage changes that affect their organization ; yet, more than half of all change projects fail because of the following reasons− 39%: Employee resistance to change− 33%: Management behavior does not

support change− 14%: Inadequate resources− 14%: Other obstacles

� Holistic change management approachbuilt around 4 key levers− Role-modeling− Fostering understanding and conviction− Reinforcing with formal mechanisms− Developing talent and skills

� Detecting and further developing core competencies of automotive OEMs (passenger and commercial vehicles)

� Identifying suitable areas for partnering/ outsourcing and supporting to find a capable partner/supplier

� Planning of organizational ramp-up, roles and key processes as well as identifying

required talent (e.g. in case of marketentry/growth strategy)

Sourcing optimization

� Large OEMs increasingly demand from their suppliers to serve them on a global scale(e.g. stamping parts from a single supplier regardless of production location)

� In developed countries , suppliers deliver up to 85% of a vehicle‘s major components while in developing countries , some local OEMs still have a much higher value creation share ; consequently, different opportunities and challenges arise for suppliers as well as OEMs

� Regarding EV components (e.g. battery cells) it is not yet clear which technology will prevail and purchasing volumes of EV parts are still small due to rather low sales volumes; as a result, EV manufacturerslack economies of scale and couldbenefit from bundling with partners

� Consolidating the supplier portfolio of automotive OEMs (passenger and commercial vehicles)

� Identifying and evaluating potential sourcing partners to enable order bundling (e.g. for EV batteries)

� Company- or business-unit-wide bundling ofRFQs (e.g. for service providers)

� Effectively preparing supplier negotiations

� Identifying and realizing further cost levers

� Providing suppliers with a perspective on OEMs‘ global launch and cycle plans to forecast demand for specific automotive parts/components and derive accurate timing for respective RFQs

Sales & after-sales

� The way how people purchase mobility (incl. vehicles) is changing due to the rise of the Internet and mobile applications (see e.g. the B2C e-commerce sales growth in selected countries 2014: China 64%, India 32%, Brazil 19%, UK 12%, USA 12%)

� To date, established OEMs have large dealership networks (e.g. BMW with ~600 dealers for ~250k sold cars in Germany 2014); however, several OEMs have begun to utilize the Internet (e.g. BMW with its agent model incl. online sales for the i3/i8)

� Furthermore, new industry players are looking for innovative approaches to ramp-up their sales network at minimal cost or to provide convenient after-sales solutions(e.g. carefree repair servicesthrough specialized providers)

� Defining the right setup and footprint of a new automotive OEM’s sales and after-sales network based on the given volume aspirations and resource restrictions

� Developing a regional sales and after-sales organization tailored to the competitive arena of the specific market

� Restructuring an existing OEM’s central and local sales organization by implementing effective offline (e.g. direct sales vs. licensed dealers vs. independent dealers) and online distribution channels

� Identifying capable sales and after-sales partners/suppliers (e.g. for repair, spare parts logistics) and facilitating the partner-

ship/supplier relationship building

Emerging markets

� The rising level of income and ongoing urbanization in emerging countries like China and India lead to increased mobility needs , most notably a growing overall vehicle demand (e.g. in India with an expected vehicle sales CAGR of 10% from 2015-2021), particularly in the luxury segment

� Driven by the political agenda , there is a strong trend towards new energy vehicles (NEV) in China (expected CAGR of NEV sales in China 2015-2021 is 20-25%)

� Besides, Chinese OEMs have recognized that joint ventures are not the optimalapproach and have thus started to create indigenous brands or to establish own companies

� Supporting automotive ventures from emerging countries in building competitive passenger/commercial vehicle OEMs that are able to meet Western quality standards

� Supporting Western industry players to expand their business to emerging markets

� Particular China expertise− Track record of successfully conducted

projects in China’s automotive industry− Broad network and access to many

OEMs in China− Mandarin-speaking interviewers with

automotive background− Forecast data for the Chinese market

(volume forecasts, cycle plans etc.)

Powertrain electrification

� Due to environmental issues like global warming, governments worldwide aim to reduce CO 2 emissions , e.g.− EU: max. 95g CO2/km for new passenger

cars in 2020 (fleet average)− China: 5l/100km for new passenger cars

in 2020 (fleet average)

� At the same time, costs for fossil fuel are expected to increase because of natural limitation and new, expensive technologies like fracking

� Furthermore, ongoing advancements in EV technology are projected to lead to decreasing cost for EV components (e.g. price on battery cell level expected to drop from 300 to 150 EUR/kWh until 2018)

� Global perspective on EV growth as well as key market forecasts and trends for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and powertrains

� Proven TCO model to assess market break-through of individual models in specific markets from an economic perspective

� Understanding of boundary conditions (e.g. legislation) in key markets like Europe, USA and China

� In-depth knowledge of EV component cost and performance (e.g. batteries, e-motors, power electronics)

� Perspective on sourcing landscape for key EV components (e.g. for Li-ion batteries)

Mobility of the future & digitalization

� Several trends have an impact on the mobility of the future− Technological trends : e.g. autonomous

driving, powertrain electrification, further digitalization of the vehicles and the entire automotive value chain

− Economic trends : e.g. sharing economy, rise of emerging countries

− Social trends : e.g. urbanization

� As a consequence of these trends, we believe that offering transportation on demand with autonomous driving vehicles becomes a business model and that Integrated Mobility Providers will serve this business and thereby take over the customer relationships fromOEMs and rental companies

� Creating a common understanding within automotive organizations regarding the mobility of the future and performing a “fitness check” that assesses the company’s capabilities along the required core areas in the future

� Defining a vision for the automotive player in terms of whether to drive the change , be a fast follower or be a late follower

� Developing strategic measures that support the realization of the defined vision in a managed change process (e.g. transforming a traditional vehicle OEM into a service-oriented Integrated Mobility Provider)
