The AUDI AG Board of Management team Reporting period January 1 to December 31, 2021 Editorial deadline February 28, 2022 Published March 17, 2022 Date last report published March 18, 2021 Report cycle annually Working together makes you strong, as they say – and probably never before in the history of our company was the truth of this sentence more obvious than it is today. Together, a strong Audi team of around 87,000 employees successfully mastered a difficult 2021 marked by global semiconductor shortages and the continuation of the coronavirus pandemic. With an operating profit of 5.5 billion euros and unbroken customer demand, the entire Audi team showed that we can achieve outstanding performance even in difficult condition
Even in 2020, a challenging business year, Audi vigorously drove ahead its transformation into a provider of sustainable and networked premium mobility. As a result of the pandemic, deliveries and sales revenue fell significantly in the first half-year. Thanks to a strong second half, including an excellent fourth quarter, sales revenue reached a total of approximately €50.0 billion in the 2020 business year. Operating profit before special items was €2.7 billion, and operating return on sales before special items was 5.5 percent. In addition to synergies in the Volkswagen Group, the Audi Transformation Plan (ATP) and Audi.Zukunft made important financial contributions. Net cash flow remains a strength of the company, with a figure of €4.6 billion. The reasons for this are continuing cost and investment discipline and the divestment of shareholdings within the Volkswagen Group amounting to some €1.5 billion. The company moved purposefully ahead with its e-roadmap: in 2021 alone, Audi doubled the number of all-electric models in its range and is also reinforcing its PHEV offensive. Subject to developments in the corona pandemic and the supply of semiconductors, Audi views 2021 with cautious optimism.
REPORTREPORT REPORT Audi 2020 combined annual and sustainability report Dear Readers, Stand together, but keep your distance – an idea that became last year’s watchword. The coronavirus pandemic significantly impacted day-to-day business in markets throughout the world, presenting great economic as well as emotional challenges. Thanks to our strong crisis management team, we have managed to navigate stably through the pandemic thus far. Ensuring the protection of everyone at Audi has always been our top priority. At the same time, we have examined our costs and secured our liquidity – without compromising on product substance or sustainability. Audi has the potential and is committed to taking a leading role in shaping the transformation of the automotive industry. “ Vorsprung” is in our DNA. For us, “Vorsprung” means combining unique technological innovations with a clear mindset: We want to set an example as a modern, transparent and value-based company. We want to sustainably shape individual mobility, while protecting the environment and conserving resources. Markus Duesmann Chairman of the Board of Management and Member of the Board of Management for Product Lines of AUDI AG P h o to : A U D I A G Querverweis 0-1 Intro 2Audi Report 2020 Foreword The Audi e-tron GTquattro1 is one example of this. As the brand’s progressive new spearhead, it is our first all-electric model manufactured in Germany. The e-tron GT1 stands for emotional electric mobility and sustainability. Now more than ever, our future success requires that we have a holistic understanding of sustainability, comprising the economy, environment and society. That is why we are also integrating the financial perspectives and issues related to ESG – Environment, Social and Governance – into our reporting and are publishing a combined annual and sustainability report this year for the first time. Even following last year’s acquisition of all Audi shares by Volkswagen AG, this approach will allow us to

A more efficient division of labor and increased Group synergies – as part of the reorganization of competencies within the Volkswagen Group, today’s Audi Annual General Meeting will also vote on a so-called squeeze-out under stock corporation law. This will result in the transfer all the Audi shares of the remaining shareholders to Volkswagen AG, which already holds 99.64 percent of the share capital of AUDI AG. The Audi Board of Management would like to thank the shareholders for their trust and loyalty. The planned structure is intended to strengthen Audi’s role within the Volkswagen Group and to increase the future competitiveness of the Volkswagen Group.
At the AUDI AG Annual General Meeting, the Board of Management explains the key figures of the previous fiscal year and informs the shareholders about current developments at the company. We make all the important information about the annual meeting of AUDI AG shareholders available to you in this area.
