  11. FCAU Ownership

  12. Investment Risks • Low demand on vehicle sales, particularly minivans, larger utility vehicle and pick-up trucks could cause the business to suffer. Since auto manufacturers have such high fixed costs, a 10% decrease in vehicle shipments would lead to a 40% decrease in EBIT. • Credit rating is below investment grade any further deterioration may significantly affect access to capital markets. • If FCAU cannot increase profit margins, it will be tough raise capital and compete with competitors.
