CHRYSLER GROUP REPORTS FULL-YEAR 2012 NET INCOME OF $1.7 BILLION

FULL-YEAR MODIFIED OPERATING PROFIT TOTALED $2.9 BILLION, UP 47 PERCENT,

AND FREE CASH FLOW WAS $2.2 BILLION

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Jan. 30, 2013 – Chrysler Group LLC today reported preliminary net income of $1.7 billion for the full year 2012, up from net income of $183 million a year ago, exceeding the guidance provided earlier in the year. Full-year 2011 Adjusted Net Income^(a) was $734 million, after adjusting for the $551 million loss on extinguishment of debt recognized in the second quarter of 2011.

“While we are pleased to have achieved strong financial results in 2012, the enterprise we are crafting is not complete,” Chrysler Group LLC Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne said. “The goals we’ve set for the year ahead reflect a common desire by everyone from leadership to the shop floor to succeed and sustain the power of the house we are building. Our aim is meaningful, but it is not complicated, and only a preoccupation with quality can achieve it. We pause for a moment to enjoy our accomplishments, but we will not stop. Our continued achievement relies upon maintaining a humble spirit and an intense focus on the integrity of our work. And so we press on.”

For the fourth quarter, net income was $378 million on revenue of $17.2 billion, up 68 percent from $225 million a year earlier. For the year, the Company reported revenue of $65.8 billion, an increase of 20 percent from a year ago, primarily due to higher vehicle shipments.

Modified Operating Profit was $2.9 billion for the year, or 4.4 percent of revenue, up 47 percent from $2.0 billion reported in the prior year. The increase resulted from continuing strong sales and pricing, partially offset by an increase in the proportion of sales from passenger cars, including the Dodge Dart and Fiat 500, versus trucks and SUVs; increased research-and-development costs for future models; and increased spending on advertising. Modified Operating Profit for the quarter was $711 million, a 40 percent increase from the same period last year.

Modified EBITDA^(c) was $5.5 billion for the year, or 8.3 percent of net revenue, an increase of 15 percent from the prior year. For the fourth quarter, Modified EBITDA was $1.3 billion.

Interest expense for 2012 totaled $1.1 billion, compared with $1.2 billion in 2011, including non-cash interest accretion of $119 million and $170 million in each year, respectively. For the fourth quarter, interest expense was $266 million, including $28 million of non-cash interest accretion.

Cash at Dec. 31, 2012, was $11.6 billion compared with $11.9 billion at Sept. 30, 2012, and $9.6 billion as of Dec. 31, 2011. Total available liquidity as of Dec. 31, 2012, was $12.9 billion, including $1.3 billion available under a revolving credit facility. Free Cash Flow was a positive $2.2 billion for the year 2012, as compared with $1.9 billion a year ago. Fourth-quarter 2012 Free Cash Flow was a negative $280 million reflective of normal fourth-quarter seasonality.

Gross Industrial Debt^(f) at Dec. 31, 2012, was $12.6 billion, consistent with Sept. 30, 2012, and slightly higher than the $12.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2011. Net Industrial Debt was $1.0 billion at year’s end, slightly higher than the $0.7 billion at Sept. 30, 2012, and well below the $2.9 billion at Dec. 31, 2011.

Worldwide vehicle shipments for the year were 2.4 million, achieving our full-year target. The year-end total marked an increase of 20 percent from year-end 2011, when the Company shipped 2.0 million vehicles. For the fourth quarter, worldwide vehicle shipments were 613,000, up 13 percent from the same period a year ago.

Worldwide vehicle sales were 2.2 million for the year, up 18 percent from the 1.9 million vehicles sold in 2011. The increase was driven by a 21 percent increase in the Company’s total U.S. sales. Worldwide vehicle sales were 533,000 for the quarter, up from 479,000 in the same period a year ago. Chrysler Group’s December 2012 U.S. sales marked the 33^rd consecutive month of year-over-year sales gains. This upward trend reflects improvements in our product portfolio, culminating in a 41 percent year-over-year increase in U.S. passenger car sales versus the prior year. Chrysler Group’s U.S. market share for the year was 11.2 percent compared with 10.5 percent in the prior year; market share in Canada was 14.2 percent for the year.

U.S. dealers’ days’ supply of inventory at the end of 2012 was 73 days, compared with 65 days at the end of September 2012, and 64 days at the end of December 2011, primarily driven by deliveries of the newly launched Dodge Dart and 2013 Ram 1500 pickup.

For the year, international vehicle sales (outside North America) increased 41 percent from 2011, to 277,000, including 67,000 vehicles manufactured by Chrysler Group and sold by Fiat as Lancia and Fiat branded vehicles.
