- Shipments decrease primarily due to planned reduction in Chrysler
200 and Dodge Dart volumes in connection with NAFTA capacity realignment plan: U.S. -45 thousand units (-8%), Canada -9
thousand units (-13%), Mexico -4 thousand units (-13%)
- Net revenues decrease due to lower shipments, with higher fleet mix,
partially offset by favorable vehicle mix
- Adjusted EBIT increase primarily due to positive net pricing (net of
negative FX transaction impact from CAD and MXN), purchasing efficiencies and lower warranty costs, partially offset by
lower revenues, increase in product costs for content enhancements and higher manufacturing costs
- Adjusted EBIT excludes net charges of €149 million, primarily
relating to estimated costs associated with a planned recall for which there is ongoing litigation with a component
supplier; although FCA believes the component supplier has responsibility for the recall, no recovery has been
recognized as of September 30, 2016 in accordance with applicable accounting guidance as a resolution with the supplier
has not yet been reached

Remained market leader in Brazil, with market share of 18.6%
|
|
- Decrease in shipments reflects poor market conditions in Brazil due
to continued macroeconomic weakness, partly offset by improvement in Argentina: Brazil -30 thousand units (-26%),
Argentina +2 thousand units (+8%)
- Decrease in Net revenues with lower shipments, partially offset by
favorable vehicle mix mainly from the all-new Fiat Toro
- Adjusted EBIT decrease primarily as a result of higher input costs
driven by inflation and foreign exchange effects

Jeep sales up 76% driven by ongoing transition to localized production
in China
|
|
- Decrease in shipments due to transition to local Jeep production in
China, through JV with GAC; combined shipments (including JV produced units) up 69% to 61 thousand units
- Net revenues slight increase primarily as a result of favorable
vehicle mix in China and increased sales of components to the China JV offsetting lower
shipments
- Adjusted EBIT increase mainly due to favorable mix on imported
vehicles, lower net price due to incentives for completion of the sell-out of discontinued and other imported
vehicles and improved results from China JV

vehicle mix mainly driven by all-new Fiat Tipo family

purchasing efficiencies, improved results from joint ventures and favorable FX, partially offset by higher advertising
to support new product launches, as well as higher research and development and manufacturing costs

(+67%)
- Net revenues increase primarily due to higher shipments, positive
net pricing and favorable vehicle and market mix mainly from all-new Levante
- Adjusted EBIT improvement resulting from increase in Net revenues,
partially offset by increase in industrial costs and commercial launch activities
