7 Financial Statements of BMW AG Other InformationNotes
B A S I S O F P R E P A R AT I O N The financial statements of Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft (BMW AG) have been drawn up in accord- ance with the accounting provisions contained in the German Commercial Code (HGB) and legislation applicable to stock corporations. Figures are presented in millions of euro (euro million) unless otherwise stated. BMW AG, which has its legal seat in Munich, is registered in the Commercial Register of the District Court of Munich under the number HRB 42243.
Key figures presented in the report have been rounded in ac- cordance with standard commercial practise. In certain cas- es, this may mean that values do not add up exactly to the stated total and that percentages cannot be derived from the values shown.
The income statement is presented using the cost of sales method. The financial year is the same as the calendar year.

In order to improve clarity, individual items are aggregated in the balance sheet and income statement and presented separately in the notes to the financial statements.
Purchased intangible assets are valued at acquisition cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of between three and 20 years. Impairment losses are recognised where nec- essary. Internally generated intangible assets are not capi- talised.
Advance payments are stated at their nominal amount.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition or at manufacturing cost, less accumulated scheduled deprecia- tion and impairment losses. Manufacturing cost includes di- rect material and production costs and an appropriate pro- portion of material and production overheads (including production-related depreciation). Production-related admin- istrative costs, voluntary social costs and company pension costs are not included.
Property, plant and equipment are generally depreciated straight-line. The reducing balance method is still also ap- plied in specific cases. Items acquired during the year are depreciated on a time-apportioned basis. Impairment losses are recorded when the decline in value of an asset is consid- ered to be of a lasting nature. If the reasons for impairment no longer exist, impairment losses previously recorded are reversed, at a maximum up to their amortised acquisition and manufacturing cost. For simplification purposes, assets with an acquisition or manufacturing cost of up to € 250 are recognised directly as an expense in the year of pur- chase / construction. Assets with an acquisition or manufac- turing cost of between € 250 and € 1,000 are depreciated
using the straight-line method over a period of five years. Assets under construction are stated at their nominal amount.
The following useful lives are applied:
in years
Factory and office buildings, residential buildings, fixed installations in buildings and outside facilities 8 to 50
Plant and machinery 3 to 21
Other equipment, factory and office equipment 2 to 25
or plant and equipment used in multiple-shift operations, depreciation rates are increased to account for the additional utilisation.
Investments in subsidiaries and participations are stated at cost or, if lower, at their fair value. If the reasons for impair- ment no longer exist, impairment losses previously recorded are reversed, at a maximum up to the level of original cost. Loans which bear no or a below-market rate of interest are discounted to their present value.
The composition of and changes in long-lived assets are shown in the Analysis of Changes in Tangible, Intangible and Investment Assets.
Inventories of raw materials, supplies and goods for resale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Direct material and production costs and an appropriate proportion of material and production overheads (including produc- tion-related depreciation) are taken into account in the meas- urement of unfinished and finished goods. Production-relat- ed administrative costs, voluntary social costs and company pension costs are not included. Write-downs are made to cover risks arising from slow-moving items or reduced salea- bility. Inventories include advance payments made for raw
materials and supplies as well as goods for resale. Advance payments are reported at their nominal amount.
Receivables and other assets are stated at the lower of their nominal value or net realisable value. Receivables whose collectability is associated with identifiable risks are written down appropriately; uncollectible receivables are written off.
Investments in current marketable securities are measured at cost or, if lower, at their fair value at the end of the report- ing period. Fair value corresponds to the market price.
Cash and cash equivalents are stated at their nominal value.
Prepayments relate to amounts disbursed before the bal- ance sheet date, which represent expense for a specific pe- riod after the end of the reporting period.
Subscribed capital is stated at its nominal amount.
In order to meet obligations relating to pension plans, certain assets are managed on a trustee basis by BMW Trust e. V., Munich, in conjunction with Contractual Trust Arrangements (CTA). These assets are measured at their fair value, based on the market values of the corresponding fund manage- ment companies at the end of the reporting period. Desig- nated plan assets are offset against the related obligations. A provision is recognised when obligations exceed assets. When assets exceed obligations, the surplus is reported in the balance sheet in the line item “Surplus of pension and similar plan assets over liabilities”.
Pension obligations are measured in accordance with the projected unit credit method and discounted using an aver- age market interest rate for the past ten years, which corre- sponds to their remaining term. The calculation is based on independent actuarial valuations which take into account the relevant biometric factors. The difference in the carrying amount of the provision based on using the average market

interest rate for the past ten financial years and that for the past seven financial years is disclosed in the notes to the fi- nancial statements. The provisions for long-service awards and for pre-retirement part-time work arrangements are also measured using the projected unit credit method. Income arising on assets offset against liabilities, from the unwind- ing of discounting and from the effect of changes in the dis- count rate are presented as part of the financial result. Changes in the fair value of designated plan assets held to meet securities-linked obligations are also reported as part of the financial result. All other components of pension ex- pense are included in the income statement under costs by function.
Tax provisions are calculated in accordance with the princi- ple of reasonable management judgement.
Other provisions are recognised to take account of all identi- fied risks. Provisions are measured at their expected settle- ment amount. In the case of non-current provisions, amounts are discounted using the average market interest rate – cal- culated and published by the Deutsche Bundesbank – which corresponds to the remaining term of the provision.
The measurement of provisions for warranty obligations and product guarantees (statutory, contractual and voluntary) in- volves estimations. These provisions are recognised as a general rule when the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the BMW Group’s sales companies, dealerships or retail customers. In order to determine the level of the provision, various factors are taken into consider- ation, including current estimations based on past experi- ence with the nature and amount of claims relating to vehi- cles delivered. In addition, the future level of potential repair costs (comprising materials and labour) as well as price in- creases per product are taken into account. In addition, the provision for warranty obligations and product guarantees also takes into account warranty-related events such as ve- hicle recalls on the date that the associated resolution is
passed. Provisions for statutory and non-statutory warranty obligations and product guarantees are adjusted regularly to take account of new circumstances and the impact thereof recognised in the income statement. Expected reimburse- ment claims are estimated and offset against provisions for statutory and non-statutory warranty obligations and prod- uct guarantees.
Provisions pre-retirement part-time working arrangements are measured at their expected settlement amount, dis- counted using the average market interest rate – calculated and published by the Deutsche Bundesbank – which corre- sponds to the remaining term of the obligations.
BMW AG assumes some of the residual value obligations arising at the level of BMW Group Financial Services entities in connection with the remarketing of vehicles and recognises provisions accordingly. For the purpose of measuring the pro- visions, contractually agreed residual values are compared with expected residual values on a contract-by-contract basis. The computation of expected residual values also takes ac- count of publicly available assessments of independent fore- casting institutes as well as in-house forecasts.
Liabilities are stated at their expected settlement amount at the balance sheet date.
The option of offsetting receivables from and payables to subsidiaries and companies in which an investment is held is not exercised.
Foreign currency receivables and payables are translated using the mid-spot exchange rate applicable at transaction date. Gains arising on the translation of period-end items are only recognised for receivables and payables with a re- maining term of one year or less. Unrealised losses resulting from changes in exchange rates are recognised by restating the foreign currency amount in the balance sheet to the clos- ing rate.
BMW AG uses derivative financial instruments to hedge in- terest rate, currency and commodity price risks arising in conjunction with operating activities as well as the resulting financing requirements. Where there is a direct hedging rela- tionship, the derivative financial instruments are aggregated together with recognised assets or liabilities and / or with forecast transactions into valuation units. Items denominat- ed in foreign currency are accounted for using the “Valuation Freeze method” (Einfrierungsmethode), translated using the relevant hedging rate.
BMW AG invoices affiliated sales companies that are based outside the eurozone in the relevant local currency. The re- sulting currency exposures are hedged by derivative curren- cy instruments, and accounted for as portfolio hedges within valuation units. The hedged items relate to highly probable forecast transactions that will be subsequently invoiced in a foreign currency. The high probability of occurrence of these transactions is based on past experience and production planning. BMW AG has elected to apply the “Valuation Freeze Method” (Einfrierungsmethode) for these hedging relationships.
Micro hedges are designated for currency derivatives used to hedge back-to-back derivative financial instruments with subsidiaries as well as for interest rate derivatives used to hedge financial receivables and liabilities. BMW AG has elected to apply the “Valuation Freeze Method” (Einfrierung- smethode) for these hedging relationships.
BMW AG negotiates contracts for the purchase of raw mate- rials across the Group. The raw materials price risk resulting from the purchase of raw materials for production compa- nies is borne either directly or indirectly by BMW AG. BMW AG enters into commodity derivatives to hedge these risks. These derivatives are accounted for as portfolio hedges within valuation units. The hedged items relate to highly probable forecast transactions. The high probability of oc- currence of these transactions is based on past experience

and production planning. BMW AG has elected to apply the “Valuation Freeze Method” (Einfrierungsmethode) for these hedging relationships.
Since the principal features of the transactions included in a valuation unit are matched to a large extent, changes in fair values or cash flows generally offset each other. Hedging is in place for the whole term of the hedged item. Effectiveness is ensured as a general rule by the use of a critical term match. The effectiveness of the valuation units relating to foreign-currency-denominated revenues billed to sales sub- sidiaries is measured on the basis of regression analysis. The Dollar-Offset method is used to calculate the absolute amounts attributable to non-validity and ineffectiveness. Re- alised gains and losses arising on valuation units created for back-to-back derivative financial instruments entered into with subsidiaries and banks are presented in other operating income / expenses on a net basis.
If there is no hedging relationship, or if the hedging relation- ship is deemed to be insufficient, pending losses are recog- nised with income statement effect.
Deferred income relates to amounts received before the bal- ance sheet date, which represent income for a specific peri- od after the end of the reporting period. This also includes revenues billed for services which are rendered after the end of the reporting period. Revenues from sales with multiple components are analysed into the various performance components on the basis of fair values which can be deter- mined objectively and reliably.
Deferred taxes are calculated for temporary differences be- tween the tax base and accounting carrying amounts of as- sets, liabilities and deferred / prepaid items. Deferred tax as- sets and liabilities are measured using a combined income tax rate of 30.8 % relevant for the BMW AG tax group. This combined rate covers corporation tax, municipal trade tax and solidarity surcharge. In the case of temporary differenc-
es arising on assets, liabilities and deferred / prepaid items of partnership entities, in which BMW AG participates in the capacity of a shareholder, deferred taxes are measured on the basis of an income tax rate of 15.83 % which covers cor- poration tax and solidarity surcharge. In the year under re- port, the BMW AG tax group has a surplus of deferred tax assets over deferred tax liabilities, mainly as a result of tem- porary differences between the tax base and accounting carrying amounts of provisions for pensions and similar obli- gations (before offset against designated plan assets), other provisions and property, plant and equipment. BMW AG, as head of the German tax group, has elected not to recognise the surplus amount of deferred tax assets.
The share-based remuneration programmes for Board of Management members and senior heads of department en- title BMW AG to elect whether to settle its commitments in cash or with shares of BMW AG common stock. Based on the decision to settle in cash, the two share-based pro- grammes are accounted for as cash-settled share-based transactions. Share-based programmes expected to be set- tled in cash are revalued to their fair value at each balance sheet date between the grant date and the settlement date and on the settlement date itself. The expense for such pro- grammes is recognised in the income statement (as person- nel expense) over the vesting period of the options and in the balance sheet as a provision. Further information regarding the two share-based programmes is provided in ↗ note 41 to the BMW Group Financial Statements 2021.

10. Subscribed capital and capital reserves
in Mio. € 2021 2020
Subscribed capital 662 660
Capital reserves 2,342 2,239
BMW AG’s issued share capital of € 662 million comprises 601,995,196 shares of common stock, each with a par value of € 1, and 59,404,304 shares of non-voting preferred stock, each with a par value of € 1. All of the Company’s stock is issued to bearer. Preferred stock bears an additional divi- dend of € 0.02 per share.
In 2021, a total of 1,718,070 shares of preferred stock was sold to employees at a reduced price of € 60.78 per share in conjunction with the Employee Share Programme. These shares are entitled to receive dividends for the first time with effect from the financial year 2022.
Issued share capital increased by € 1.7 million as a result of the issue to employees of 1,715,000 new shares of non-vot- ing preferred stock. The Authorised Capital of BMW AG at the end of the reporting period therefore amounted to nominal € 1.7 million (corresponding to 1.7 million shares of non-vot- ing preferred stock). The Company is authorised to issue shares of non-voting preferred stock amounting to nominal € 5.0 million prior to 15 May 2024. The share premium of € 102.5 million arising on this share capital increase was transferred to capital reserves.
In addition, 3,070 previously issued shares of preferred stock were acquired and re-issued to employees.
07. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, of which € 1 million (2020: € 1 million) relates to amounts held at sub- sidiaries, and to cash on hand.
08. Prepaid expenses Prepaid expenses include amounts paid in advance for ser- vices to be performed in future periods.
09. Surplus of pension and similar plan assets over liabilities
Assets held to secure obligations relating to pensions are offset against the related liabilities. The assets concerned comprise mainly holdings in investment fund assets. The surplus of designated plan assets over liabilities at the end

The amount not available for distribution at 31 December 2021 was € 4,235 million (2020: € 4,081 million). This figure arises in conjunction with fair value gains amounting to € 3,279 million (2020: € 2,713 million) on assets held to ser- vice obligations for pensions and the difference of € 956 mil- lion (2020: € 1,368 million) in the carrying amount of the pension provision based on using the relevant average mar- ket interest rate for the past ten rather than seven financial years.
12. Registered profit-sharing certificates Employees are entitled to subscribe to shares of preferred stock as part of a wealth accumulation programme. These arrangements replaced the programme in place up to 1989, under which employees were entitled to subscribe to regis- tered profit-sharing certificates, with the level of the profit share based on the level of the dividend. A total of 529,714 registered profit-sharing certificates remained in place at 31 December 2021 (2020: 548,665 registered profit-sharing certificates).

BMW AG’s pension obligations include defined benefit obligations, for which benefits are determined either by multiplying a fixed amount by the number of years of ser- vice or on the basis of an employee’s final salary. The de- fined benefit plans were closed to new entrants in 2014.
An additional pension plan is also in place – covered by trust assets – which pays defined benefit amounts that are pre- dominantly dependent on the contributions made by the Company, the investment income earned and a guaranteed minimum rate of interest.
BMW AG also offers employees the option of participating in a voluntary deferred remuneration retirement plan.
In the financial year 2021, employees in the defined benefit plan were given the option to switch to the defined contribu- tion plan. The fixed amounts to which employees were previ- ously entitled remain unchanged going forward. The previ- ous so-called “pension entitlement trend” (Festbetragstrend) has been converted – with the exception of one remaining component – into a career trend. Furthermore, an employee switching to the defined contribution plan received an enti-
tlement deemed to be equivalent in legal terms to their pre- vious rights. This does not, however, have a significant im- pact on the amount of the obligation for BMW AG.
As in the previous year, the measurement of obligations for pension plans and pre-retirement part-time working ar- rangements is based on the assumptions set out in the bi- ometric tables of Prof. Dr. Klaus Heubeck (2018 G) with inva- lidity rates reduced by 70 %. In addition, the following assumptions are applied:
in % 2021 2020
Discount factor for pension plans 1.87 2.30
Discount factor for pre-retirement part-time working arrangements 0.32 0.45
Future salary increases 2.81 2.67
Future pension increases 2.10 1.33
The discount rate used to discount pension obligations cor- responds to the average market interest rate for the past ten financial years for an assumed maturity term of 15 years, as calculated and published by the Deutsche Bundesbank. The difference in the carrying amount of the pension provision as a result of using an average market interest rate for ten rather than seven years is disclosed in the note on revenue reserves ↗ note 1.
In addition, the career trend component, which is plan-de- pendent and lies within a range of 0.25 % to 0.50 %, is now part of the measurement of pension obligations (2020: pen- sion entitlement trend of 2.0 %).

The provision for pensions amounting to € 442 million (2020: € 229 million) can be summarised as follows:
in € million 2021 2020
Fair value of assets held to cover pension obligations 13,961 12,315
Present value of defined benefit obligations 13,297 11,283
Surplus of pension and similar plan assets over liabilities 1,086 1,261
Pension provisions 422 229
If the fair value of the designated plan assets exceeds the pension obligations, the surplus amount is reported in the line item “Surplus of pension and similar plan assets over li- abilities” ↗ note 9. Acquisition cost of the designated plan as- sets for pension obligations amounted to € 10,136 million (2020: € 9,269 million).
Tax provisions comprise mainly expected income tax pay- ments relating to the financial year 2021 and previous years as well as payments for ancillary tax-related expenses.
Other provisions comprise obligations for personnel-related expenses, statutory and non-statutory warranty obligations and product guarantees, litigation and liability risks as well as selling activities. Warranty provisions include amongst others amounts recognised in connection with the exhaust gas recirculation cooler.
In 2019, a provision of € 1,394 million was recognised in con- nection with EU Commission antitrust proceedings, see ↗ note 13 to the Financial Statements of BMW AG for the finan- cial year 2019. In this antitrust investigation, the EU Commis- sion had alleged that five German car manufacturers collud- ed with the aim of restricting competition for innovation with regards to certain exhaust treatment systems for petrol- and diesel-driven passenger vehicles. The investigation was solely concerned with possible infringements of competition law. There were no allegations that the BMW Group con- ducted a deliberate and unlawful manipulation of the emis- sions control system. On the basis of BMW AG’s detailed submissions, the EU Commission dropped most of its charg- es. The proceedings were settled on 8 July 2021, and a fine amounting to € 373 million was issued. In the opinion of the EU Commission, the carmakers concerned – within the framework of what was actually legitimate technical cooper- ation in the development of SCR technology – created an undue degree of transparency with regard to the sizes of their AdBlue tanks, the range that can be achieved with a full tank and the assumed average AdBlue consumption, there- by violating EU competition law. The amount of the provision exceeding the fine was reversed with income statement ef- fect in the year under report. The fine was paid in July 2021, thereby concluding the EU Commission’s proceedings.

Based on the information available to BMW AG at the date of the preparation of the financial statements regarding the fi- nancial condition of the principal debtors, BMW AG consid- ers that the obligations underlying the contingent liabilities shown above can be fulfilled by the relevant principal debt- ors. In the case of so-called double contingent liabilities, the potential risk of BMW AG being called upon is included only once within contingent liabilities.
BMW AG considers it unlikely that it will be called upon in conjunction with these contingent liabilities.
29. Other financial commitments and off-balance-sheet transactions
Other financial commitments totalled € 2,495 million (2020: € 2,671 million) and comprise mainly obligations arising from rental and leasing contracts.

31. Derivative financial instruments
No provisions were required to be recognised in the financial year 2021 either for negative fair values of derivative instru- ments not designated as part of a hedging relationship or for the ineffective portions of valuation units (2020: € 55 mil- lion).
The nominal amounts of the derivative financial transactions are reported on a gross basis, derived from the absolute pur- chase and sale amounts or in accordance with the contract values of the hedged items. The fair values of currency and interest-rate-related instruments shown are measured on the basis of market information available at the balance sheet date or using appropriate measurement techniques e. g. the discounted cash flow method. Options are meas-

ured based on on quoted prices or option price models using appropriate market data.
The fair values of commodity hedging contracts are general- ly determined on the basis of current reference prices, as ad- justed for forward premium and discount amounts. Due to limited market maturity, no comprehensive data is currently available for the valuation of certain raw materials. In these cases, data is collated and updated on the basis of regular bank and trader inquiries with a view to modelling forward curves. The valuation methodology applied is in line with the general valuation principles for derivatives used within the treasury management system of the BMW Group.
The respective fair values of derivative financial instruments do not include any offsetting change in the fair value of the hedged items.

32. Valuation units BMW AG is exposed to risks from changes in exchange rates, raw material prices and interest rates arising in connection with recognised assets and liabilities as well as forecasted transactions. These risks are hedged predominantly by de- rivative financial instruments and are assigned to valuation units.
At 31 December 2021, BMW AG held foreign currency deriva- tives with terms of up to 36 months (2020: 28 months). For- eign currency derivatives are used to hedge highly probable forecasted transactions from trade payables and trade re- ceivables that will be denominated in a foreign currency. De- rivative financial instruments also include back-to-back con- tracts entered into with subsidiaries and banks.
Hedges for future purchases of commodities relate to non-pending forecasted transactions with a high probability of occurrence. Changes in prices of these raw materials have an impact on BMW AG’s production costs. Hedging strate- gies have therefore been put in place for raw materials man- agement purposes, based on forecasted purchase volumes. Commodity derivative instruments with terms of up to 60 months were in place at the end of the reporting period (2020: 51 months).
In addition, BMW AG held interest-rate derivative instru- ments with terms of up to 27 months (2020: 39 months), in- cluding back-to-back contracts entered into with subsidiar- ies and banks. Fixed-interest financial instruments are used as a hedge against interest-rate risks.
The amounts disclosed for volumes hedged relate to the car- rying amounts of hedged assets and liabilities, the nominal amount of forecasted transactions and the fair value of hedged pending transactions for the duration of the valua- tion units. The figures disclosed for the amount of the hedged item refer to the non-recognition of a provision for onerous contracts with negative fair values. In accordance with the Net hedge presentation method, no depreciation on assets or upward revaluations of liabilities are recognised.

33. Total remuneration of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board
The total remuneration of the current members of the Board of Management for the financial year 2021 amounted to € 36.7 million (2020: € 20.8 million). No further shares were granted to active current members of the Board of Manage- ment during the financial year under report (2020: 7,001 shares). In the previous year, the fair value of the shares granted amounted to € 0.5 million.
The remuneration of former members of the Board of Man- agement and their dependants amounted to € 14.2 million (2020: € 13.1 million).
Pension obligations to former members of the Board of Man- agement and their surviving dependants are covered by pension provisions amounting to € 105.5 million (2020: € 100.5 million), computed in accordance with HGB.
For the financial year 2021, the members of the Supervisory Board will receive exclusively fixed remuneration totalling € 5.5 million (2020: € 5.6 million).
The remuneration system for members of the Supervisory Board does not include any stock options, value appreciation rights comparable to stock options or any other share-based remuneration components.
No advances and loans were granted by BMW AG to mem- bers of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board in the financial year, nor were any contingent liabilities entered into on their behalf. During the year under report, members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board concluded contracts with BMW Group companies for vehicle leasing and vehicle services (maintenance and repair work) on customary market terms and conditions.
34. Disclosures pursuant to § 160 (1) no. 8 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG)
A number of shareholdings in the Company exist at 31 De- cember 2021, which have been notified in accordance with § 33 (1) of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) and published with the following content in accordance with § 40 (1) WpHG:
Stefan Quandt informed us that his voting rights in BMW AG on 16 February 2018 amounted to 25.83 % (previously 25.83 %), corresponding to 155,485,833 voting rights. 25.63 % (corresponding to 154,300,215 voting rights) are at- tributable to Mr. Quandt in accordance with § 34 WpHG. This includes 16.61 % indirectly attributable to him via AQTON GmbH & Co. KG für Automobilwerte and 9.02 % via AQTON SE.
Susanne Klatten informed us that her voting rights in BMW AG on 15 February 2018 amounted to 20.94 % (previ- ously 12.75 %), corresponding to 126,068,819 voting rights. 20.74 % (corresponding to 124,883,201 voting rights) are at- tributable to Ms. Klatten in accordance with § 34 WpHG.
BlackRock, Inc., Wilmington, Delaware, USA, informed us that its voting rights in BMW AG on 30 June 2020 amounted to 3.08 % (previously 2.9997 %), corresponding to 18,547,874 voting rights. All of these shares are attributable to BlackRock, Inc. in accordance with § 34 WpHG.
The voting power percentages disclosed above may have changed subsequent to the dates stated, if these changes were not required to be reported to the Company. Due to the fact that the Company’s shares are issued to bearer, the Company is generally only aware of changes in sharehold- ings if such changes are subject to mandatory notification rules.
Voluntary notifications at 31 December 2021 relating to in- vestments that exceed 10 % of the voting rights at the end of the reporting period are disclosed in the Management Re- port.
35. Events after the end of the reporting period On 11 February 2022, the BMW Group acquired a further 25 % of the shares in the previous joint venture BMW Bril- liance Automotive Ltd. Further information is provided in ↗ note 3 of the Group Financial Statements in the BMW Group Report 2021.
The war in Ukraine had no impact on the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. Any po- tential effects on BMW AG‘s business performance are being monitored on an ongoing basis. Due to risks in upstream processes (e. g. bottlenecks caused by supply shortages), BMW AG considers it likely that vehicle production and sales will be affected, with a corresponding negative impact on earnings. Current estimates and assumptions for the finan- cial year 2022, to the extent already known to the BMW AG, have been taken into account and described in the outlook. Apart from these assessments, no further negative effects are known or can be estimated at the present time. However, it cannot be ruled out that further negative effects may arise over the course of the year.
Apart from this, no other events have occurred since the end of the financial year could have a major impact on the results of operations, financial position and net assets of BMW AG and the BMW Group.

To Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktien gesellschaft, Munich Report on the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements and of the Management Report
Audit Opinions We have audited the annual financial statements of Bayer- ische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, Munich, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2021, and the Income Statement for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2021 and notes to the financial statements, in- cluding the presentation of the recognition and measure- ment policies. In addition, we have audited the management report of Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, which is combined with the group management report, for the financial year from 1 January to December 31, 2021. In ac- cordance with the German legal requirements, we have not audited the content of those parts of the management report listed in the “Other Information” section of our auditor’s re- port.
In our opinion, on the basis of the knowledge obtained in the audit,
— the accompanying annual financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of German commercial law and give a true and fair view of the as- sets, liabilities and financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2021 and of its financial performance for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2021 in compliance with German Legally Required Accounting Principles, and
— the accompanying management report as a whole pro- vides an appropriate view of the Company’s position. In all material respects, this management report is consistent with the annual financial statements, complies with Ger- man legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development. Our audit opinion on the management report does not cover the content of those parts of the management report listed in the “Other Information” section of our auditor’s report.
Pursuant to § [Article] 322 Abs. [paragraph] 3 Satz [sentence] 1 HGB [Handelsgesetzbuch: German Commercial Code], we de- clare that our audit has not led to any reservations relating to the legal compliance of the annual financial statements and of the management report.
Basis for the Audit Opinions We conducted our audit of the annual financial statements and of the management report in accordance with § 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation (No. 537 / 2014, referred to subsequently as “EU Audit Regulation”) in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial State- ment Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschafts- prüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] (IDW). Our responsibilities under those requirements and principles are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements and of the Man- agement Report” section of our auditor’s report. We are in- dependent of the Company in accordance with the require- ments of European law and German commercial and professional law, and we have fulfilled our other German professional responsibilities in accordance with these re- quirements. In addition, in accordance with Article 10 (2) point (f) of the EU Audit Regulation, we declare that we have not provided non-audit services prohibited under Article 5 (1) of the EU Audit Regulation. We believe that the audit evi- dence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to pro- vide a basis for our audit opinions on the annual financial statements and on the management report.
Key Audit Matters in the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the annu- al financial statements for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the annual financial statements as a
Financial Statements of BMW AG46 Other InformationNotes
Independent Auditor’s Report
whole, and in forming our audit opinion thereon; we do not provide a separate audit opinion on these matters.
In our view, the matters of most significance in our audit were as follows:
1 Valuation of residual value risks
2 Valuation of provisions for statutory and non-statutory warranty obligations and product guarantees
Our presentation of these key audit matters has been struc- tured in each case as follows:
1 Matter and issue
2 Audit approach and findings
3 Reference to further information
Hereinafter we present the key audit matters:
1 Valuation of residual value risks
1 BMW AG carries realization risks for leased products which are recognized by the affiliated companies of the segment “Financial Services” and partially assumes the residual value risks arising from this. Residual value risks are determined by comparing the contractually agreed residual value on a contract-by-contract basis with the expected residual value at the end of the customer con- tract. The other provisions recognized in the annual financial statements of BMW AG include provisions for residual value risk amounting to EUR 1,547 million (approximately 2.4 % of total assets) as at December 31, 2021.
A key estimated value for the measurement of residual value risks is the expected residual value at the end of the
lease term. For the residual value forecasts BMW AG uses internally available data on historical empirical values, current market data and market estimates as well as fore- casts by external market research institutes. The estima- tion of future proceeds from sales is subject to judgment due to the large number of assumptions to be made by the executive directors and the amount of data included in the determination. Against this background and due to the resulting significant uncertainties with regard to esti- mates in the context of measuring the residual values of the leased products, this matter was of particular signifi- cance in the context of our audit.
2 As part of our audit we obtained an understanding of the development of the residual values of leased products, the underlying residual value risks as well as the business processes for the identification, management, monitor- ing and measurement of residual value risks, among oth- er things by inquiries and inspection of documents relat- ed to the internal calculation methods. Furthermore, we evaluated the appropriateness and effectiveness of the internal control system, particularly regarding to the de- termination of expected residual values. This included the evaluation of the propriety of the relevant IT-systems as well as the implemented interfaces therein by our IT specialists. In addition, we evaluated the appropriate- ness of the forecasting methods, the model assumptions as well as the parameters used for the measurement of the residual values based on the validations carried out by BMW AG. For this purpose, we inquired with BMW AG’s experts responsible for the management and monitoring of residual value risks and inspected the internal analysis on residual value developments and residual value fore- casts as well as the validation results. We examined the mathematical correctness of the forecast values using the key calculation steps.
Based on our audit procedures, we were able to satisfy ourselves that the methods and processes for determin-
ing the expected residual values of leased products un- derlying the valuation are appropriate and the assump- tions and parameters included in the forecast model for the residual value are appropriate as a whole.
3 The Company’s disclosures on the applied “Accounting policies, assumptions, judgments and estimations” are contained in the notes to the financial statements under “Accounting policies” and “Notes to the balance sheet”.
2 Valuation of provisions for statutory and non-statu- tory warranty obligations and product guarantees
1 Provisions for statutory and non-statutory warranty obli- gations as well as product guarantees are included in the annual financial statements of BMW AG as a material component in “other provisions”. The provisions for stat- utory and non-statutory warranty obligations and prod- uct guarantees amounted to EUR 2,876 million (approxi- mately 4.4 % of total assets) as at December 31, 2021. BMW AG is responsible for the legally required warranty and product guarantees in the respective sales market. In order to estimate the liabilities arising from statutory and non-statutory warranty obligations as well as product guarantees for vehicles sold, information on the type and volume of damages arising and on remedial measures is recorded and analyzed at vehicle model level. The ex- pected amount of obligations is extrapolated from costs of the past and recognized as a provision in correspond- ing amount. For specific or anticipated individual circum- stances, for example recalls, additional provisions are recognized.
Financial Statements of BMW AG47 Other InformationNotes
Independent Auditor’s Report
The determination of provisions is associated with una- voidable estimation uncertainties and is subject to a high risk of change, depending on factors such as notification of detected defects as well as claims made by vehicle owners. Against this background, this matter was of par- ticular significance during our audit.
2 In order to assess the appropriateness of the valuation method used for the determination of the provisions for statutory and non-statutory warranty obligations as well as product guarantees including the assumptions and parameters we primarily obtained an understanding of the process for determining the assumptions and param- eters through discussions with the responsible employ- ees of BMW AG. We also evaluated the appropriateness as well as effectiveness of controls for determining the assumptions and parameters. With the involvement of our IT-specialists, we cheched the IT-systems used re- garding their compliance. We compared the expenses for claims and technical actions with actual costs incurred in order to draw conclusions on the forecast accuracy. Based on a targeted sample of vehicle models, the math- ematical correctness of the valuation model used was examined. We examined and evaluated the assumptions used by BMW AG concerning the extent to which the past values were representative of the expected susceptibility of damage, the expected value of damage per vehicle (comprising parts and labor input) as well as the expected assertion of claims from statutory and non-statutory warranties.
In our view, the method for the valuation of provisions for statutory and non-statutory warranty obligations as well as product guarantees is overall appropriate. Taking into consideration the information available, we believe that, overall, the measurement parameters and assumptions used by the executive directors are appropriate.
3 The Company‘s disclosures on the applied “Accounting policies, assumptions, judgments and estimations” are contained in the notes to the financial statements under “Accounting policies” and “Notes to the balance sheet”.
Other Information The executive directors are responsible for the other infor- mation. The other information comprises the following non-audited parts of the management report:
— the “Corporate Governance” section of the management report
— the disclosures marked with “ … ” of the non-financial statement pursuant to § 289b Abs. 1 HGB and § 315d Abs. 1 HGB
The other information comprises further
— the statement on corporate governance pursuant to § 289f HGB und § 315d HGB
— all remaining parts of the publication “Annual report of BMW AG” – excluding cross-references to external infor- mation – with the exception of the audited annual finan- cial statements, the audited management report and our auditor’s report
Our audit opinions on the annual financial statements and on the management report do not cover the other informa- tion, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion or any other form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit, our responsibility is to read the other information mentioned above and, in so doing, to con- sider whether the other information
— is materially inconsistent with the annual financial state- ments, with the management report disclosures audited in terms of content or with our knowledge obtained in the audit, or
— otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Responsibilities of the Executive Directors and the Supervisory Board for the Annual Financial Statements and the Management Report The executive directors are responsible for the preparation of the annual financial statements that comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of German commercial law, and that the annual financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and financial performance of the Company in compliance with German Legally Required Accounting Principles. In addition, the ex- ecutive directors are responsible for such internal control as they, in accordance with German Legally Required Account- ing Principles, have determined necessary to enable the preparation of annual financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the annual financial statements, the executive directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. They also have the respon- sibility for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. In addition, they are responsible for financial re- porting based on the going concern basis of accounting, pro- vided no actual or legal circumstances conflict therewith.
Furthermore, the executive directors are responsible for the preparation of the management report that as a whole pro- vides an appropriate view of the Company’s position and is, in all material respects, consistent with the annual financial statements, complies with German legal requirements, and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development. In addition, the executive directors are respon- sible for such arrangements and measures (systems) as
Financial Statements of BMW AG48 Other InformationNotes
Independent Auditor’s Report
they have considered necessary to enable the preparation of a management report that is in accordance with the applica- ble German legal requirements, and to be able to provide sufficient appropriate evidence for the assertions in the management report.
The supervisory board is responsible for overseeing the Com- pany’s financial reporting process for the preparation of the annual financial statements and of the management report.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements and of the Management Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and whether the management report as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Company’s position and, in all mate- rial respects, is consistent with the annual financial state- ments and the knowledge obtained in the audit, complies with the German legal requirements and appropriately pre- sents the opportunities and risks of future development, as well as to issue an auditor’s report that includes our audit opinions on the annual financial statements and on the management report.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with § 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation and in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaft- sprüfer (IDW) will always detect a material misstatement. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consid- ered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual financial state- ments and this management report.
We exercise professional judgment and maintain profession- al skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
— Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the annual financial statements and of the management report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to pro- vide a basis for our audit opinions. The risk of not detect- ing a material misstatement resulting from fraud is high- er than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresenta- tions, or the override of internal controls.
— Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements and of ar- rangements and measures (systems) relevant to the au- dit of the management report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an audit opinion on the effectiveness of these systems of the Company.
— Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used by the executive directors and the reasonableness of es- timates made by the executive directors and related dis- closures.
— Conclude on the appropriateness of the executive direc- tors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materi- al uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a mate- rial uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in the auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the annual financial statements and in the management re- port or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our respective audit opinions. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our audi-
tor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to be able to continue as a going concern.
— Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual financial statements, including the disclo- sures, and whether the annual financial statements pres- ent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that the annual financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and finan- cial performance of the Company in compliance with Ger- man Legally Required Accounting Principles.
— Evaluate the consistency of the management report with the annual financial statements, its conformity with German law, and the view of the Company’s position it provides.
— Perform audit procedures on the prospective information presented by the executive directors in the management report. On the basis of sufficient appropriate audit evi- dence we evaluate, in particular, the significant assump- tions used by the executive directors as a basis for the prospective information, and evaluate the proper deriva- tion of the prospective information from these assump- tions. We do not express a separate audit opinion on the prospective information and on the assumptions used as a basis. There is a substantial unavoidable risk that fu- ture events will differ materially from the prospective in- formation.
We communicate with those charged with governance re- garding, among other matters, the planned scope and tim- ing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Financial Statements of BMW AG49 Other InformationNotes
Independent Auditor’s Report
We also provide those charged with governance with a state- ment that we have complied with the relevant independence requirements, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, the related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the annual financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.
Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
Report on the Assurance on the Electronic Rendering of the Annual Financial Statements and the Management Report Prepared for Publication Purposes in Accordance with § 317 Abs. 3a HGB
Assurance Opinion We have performed assurance work in accordance with § 317 Abs. 3a HGB to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the rendering of the annual financial statements and the management report (hereinafter the “ESEF documents”) contained in the electronic file BMW_AG_ JA+LB_ESEF- 2021-12-31.zip and prepared for publication purposes com- plies in all material respects with the requirements of § 328 Abs. 1 HGB for the electronic reporting format (“ESEF for- mat”). In accordance with German legal requirements, this assurance work extends only to the conversion of the infor- mation contained in the annual financial statements and the management report into the ESEF format and therefore re- lates neither to the information contained within these ren- derings nor to any other information contained in the elec- tronic file identified above.
In our opinion, the rendering of the annual financial state- ments and the management report contained in the elec- tronic file identified above and prepared for publication pur- poses complies in all material respects with the requirements of § 328 Abs. 1 HGB for the electronic reporting format. Be- yond this assurance opinion and our audit opinion on the accompanying annual financial statements and the accom- panying management report for the financial year from Jan- uary 1 to December 31, 2021 contained in the “Report on the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements and on the Man- agement Report” above, we do not express any assurance opinion on the information contained within these render- ings or on the other information contained in the electronic file identified above.
Basis for the Assurance Opinion We conducted our assurance work on the rendering of the annual financial statements and the management report contained in the electronic file identified above in accord- ance with § 317 Abs. 3a HGB and the IDW Assurance Stand- ard: Assurance Work on the Electronic Rendering, of Finan- cial Statements and Management Reports, Prepared for Publication Purposes in Accordance with § 317 Abs. 3a HGB (IDW AsS 410 (10.2021)) and the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised). Our responsibility in accordance therewith is further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Assurance Work on the ESEF Docu- ments” section. Our audit firm applies the IDW Standard on Quality Management 1: Requirements for Quality Manage- ment in the Audit Firm (IDW QS 1).
Responsibilities of the Executive Directors and the Su- pervisory Board for the ESEF Documents The executive directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the ESEF documents including the elec- tronic renderings of the annual financial statements and the management report in accordance with § 328 Abs. 1 Satz 4 Nr. [number] 1 HGB.
In addition, the executive directors of the Company are re- sponsible for such internal control as they have considered necessary to enable the preparation of ESEF documents that are free from material non-compliance with the require- ments of § 328 Abs. 1 HGB for the electronic reporting for- mat, whether due to fraud or error.
The supervisory board is responsible for overseeing the pro- cess for preparing the ESEF documents as part of the finan- cial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Assurance Work on the ESEF Documents Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the ESEF documents are free from material non-compliance with the requirements of § 328 Abs. 1 HGB, whether due to fraud or error. We exercise professional judg- ment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the assurance work. We also:
— Identify and assess the risks of material non-compliance with the requirements of § 328 Abs. 1 HGB, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform assurance proce- dures responsive to those risks, and obtain assurance evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our assurance opinion.
— Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the assurance work on the ESEF documents in order to design assurance procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an assurance opinion on the effectiveness of these controls.
— Evaluate the technical validity of the ESEF documents, i. e., whether the electronic file containing the ESEF doc- uments meets the requirements of the Delegated Regu- lation (EU) 2019 / 815 in the version in force at the date of
Financial Statements of BMW AG50 Other InformationNotes
Independent Auditor’s Report
the annual financial statements on the technical specifi- cation for this electronic file.
— Evaluate whether the ESEF documents provide an XHTML rendering with content equivalent to the audited annual financial statements and to the audited manage- ment report.
Further Information pursuant to Article 10 of the EU Audit Regulation We were elected as auditor by the annual general meeting on May 12, 2021. We were engaged by the supervisory board on June 24, 2021. We have been the auditor of the Bayer- ische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, Munich, without interruption since the financial year 2019.
We declare that the audit opinions expressed in this audi- tor’s report are consistent with the additional report to the audit committee pursuant to Article 11 of the EU Audit Regu- lation (long-form audit report).
Reference to an other Matter – Use of the Auditor’s Report Our auditor’s report must always be read together with the audited annual financial statements and the audited man- agement report as well as the assured ESEF documents. The annual financial statements and the management re- port converted to the ESEF format – including the versions to be published in the Federal Gazette – are merely electron- ic renderings of the audited annual financial statements and the audited management report and do not take their place. In particular, the “Report on the Assurance on the Electronic Rendering of the Annual Financial Statements and the Man- agement Report Prepared for Publication Purposes in Ac- cordance with § 317 Abs. 3a HGB” and our assurance opin- ion contained therein are to be used solely together with the assured ESEF documents made available in electronic form.
