Description

The automotive branch is characterized by constant innovation, an extremely strong pace in the markets and a range of trends like urbanization, e-mobility and sharing economy. These have a tremendous impact on the companies. In addition to a clear strategic alignment, they require reliable liquidity and the right product management. Our customers include automotive manufacturers, commercial vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers and sales partners. We support these throughout the entire value chain.

We have a clear opinion and stand up for the principles of due commercial reason. We are against dangerous trends and in favor of anti-cyclical behavior. We are against expensive, off-the-rack concepts and in favor of individual solutions with added value. The notion of value enhancement is deeply rooted in us. We provide our clients with security and accompany them in our capacity as a strong partner.

The performance gap with capital market expectations was established as a benchmark for medium-term planning. As a second step, the top-down target-setting process was linked to the external capital market and competitor perspective, and aligned the responsibility structures with it. Using the business portfolio perspective, each business division was assigned a clear investment story for capital allocation and communication with the capital market. Target-setting and capital allocation became a fixed link between long-term, medium-term, and budget planning.

Our customer, an internationally active automotive supplier, needed some additional liquidity from the capital market for upcoming investments. However, the company’s segment reporting in particular did not correspond to management aims. Neither the financial organization processes, nor the standard reporting used complied with the requirements of the capital markets. A number of issues were open, in particular the matter of managing the expectations of the capital market and integrating them into corporate planning.
