Method of Determining FCA US LLC's Monthly
Sales. FCA US's reported
vehicle sales represent unit sales of vehicles to retail customers,
deliveries of vehicles to fleet customers and to others such as
FCA US's employees and retirees as
well as vehicles used for marketing. Most of these reported sales
reflect retail sales made by dealers out of their own inventory of
vehicles previously purchased by them from FCA US. Reported vehicle units sales do not
correspond to FCA US's reported
revenues, which are based on FCA
US's sale and delivery of vehicles, and typically recognized
upon shipment to the dealer or end customer. As announced on
July 26, 2016, FCA US has modified its methodology for monthly
sales reporting as follows:
- Sales to retail customers by dealers in the U.S. are derived
from the New Vehicle Delivery Report ("NVDR") system and are
determined as the sum of (A) all sales recorded by dealers
during the month net of all unwound transactions recorded to the
end of that month (whether the original sale was recorded in the
current month or any prior month); plus (B) all sales of vehicles
during that month attributable to past unwinds that had previously
been reversed in determining monthly sales (in the current or prior
months).
- Fleet sales are recorded upon the shipment of the vehicle by
FCA US to the customer or end
user.
- Other retail sales are recorded either (A) when the sale is
recorded in the NVDR system (for sales by dealers in Puerto Rico and limited sales made through
distributors that submit NVDRs in the same manner as for sales by
U.S. dealers) or (B) upon receipt of a similar delivery
notification (for vehicles for which NVDRs are not entered such as
vehicles for FCA employees).
