Employees in Brazil are entitled to benefits under defined benefit pension plans funded largely by plan assets and have entitlements under healthcare plans funded by provisions. Furthermore, other countries have pension plans with a low level of benefits or grant mandatory post-employment benefits. Some of these benefits are funded by plan assets, either in full (the Netherlands) or in part (Belgium, France, India), or are only funded by provisions (Austria, Türkiye, Poland, Italy).

At International in the USA, the obligations for about 2,500 participants in the pension plan for salaried employees amounting to €179 million were transferred to a qualified insurer effective September 13, 2023. In 2023, this had resulted in the disposal of plan assets in the amount of €167 million and thus to a plan settlement gain of €12 million, which is contained in the personnel expenses of the functions.

To examine the sensi - tivity of the present value of the defined benefit obligation to a change in assumed life expectancy, the age of the beneficiaries was reduced by one year as part of a comparative calculation. The average duration of the defined benefit obligation weighted by the present value of the defined benefit obligation (Macaulay duration) is ten years (previous year: ten years). 158 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 159 ===== The present value of the defined benefit obligation is spread across the members of the plan as follows: € million 12/31/2024 12/31/2023 Active members with entitlements from defined benefits 1,813 1,752 Members who have left the company with vested entitlements 657 638 Pensioners 2,999 2,901 5,469 5,291 The maturity profile of payments attributable to the defined benefit obligation is pre - sented in the following table by classifying the present value of the obligations by the maturity of the underlying payments: € million 12/31/2024 12/31/2023 Payments due within the next fiscal year 314 303 Payments due in two to five years 1,314 1,193 Payments due in more than five years 3,841 3,794 5,469 5,291 Changes in plan assets are shown in the following table: € million 2024 2023 Fair value of plan assets as of 01/01 3,500 3,678 Interest income from plan assets determined using the discount rate 133 150 Income/expenses from plan assets not included in interest income 90 111 Employer contributions to plan assets 66 59 Employee contributions to plan assets 3 3 Pension payments from plan assets –231 –297 Disposals arising from plan settlements –16 –164 Currency translation differences from foreign plans 80 –41 Other changes 2 – Fair value of plan assets as of 12/31 3,627 3,500 As of the reporting date, €1,378 million (previous year: €1,369 million) of the fair value of plan assets was attributable to the International plans in the USA, €1,438 million (previous year: €1,364 million) to the plans of the TRATON Holding and the German MAN Truck & Bus companies, and a further €331 million (previous year: €300 million) to Scania’s plans in Sweden. In the next fiscal year, employer contributions to plan assets are expected to amount to €123 million (previous year: €123 million). The investment of plan assets to cover future pension obligations resulted in total com- prehensive income of €223 million (previous year: €261 million).

Other provisions Accounting policies: other provisions Under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, provisions are recognized for a present obligation to a third party arising from a past event that is likely to result in an outflow of resources and whose amount can be measured reliably. The amount of the provision is determined based on estimates of the amount of the loss and the probability of utilization. Provisions that do not result in an outflow of resources within the year are recog - nized at the settlement amount discounted at the reporting date. Discounting uses market rates of interest. The settlement amount also reflects expected cost increases at the reporting date. Provisions are not offset against recourse rights. Estimates and management’s judgment: recognition and measurement of provisions Recognition and measurement of provisions are based on estimates of the amount and probability of future events, and estimates of the discount rate. If possible, experience or external appraisals are used in these cases. Warranty claims arising from unit sales are determined on the basis of estimated future costs and ex gratia arrangements. In addition, assumptions must be made about the nature and extent of future guarantee and ex gratia claims. The measurement of restructuring provi- sions is based on estimates and assumptions regarding the amount of severance payments, the effects of onerous contracts, the timeline for the implementation of measures, and, consequently, the timing of the expected payments. Litigation and other court proceedings lead to complex legal issues and entail numerous uncer - tainties. The current status of negotiations and estimates by local management and TRATON SE’s Executive Board as well as by external lawyers are taken into account for the measurement. € million Obligations arising from unit sales Obligations to employees Litigation and legal risks Restruc - turing Miscel- laneous provisions Total Balance as of 01/01/2024 2,074 362 365 68 658 3,527 Currency translation differences –12 0 3 0 –29 –37 Utilization –1,226 –84 –41 –43 –246 –1,640 Additions/ new provisions 1,535 130 208 5 277 2,155 Unwinding of discount/effect of change in discount rate 38 5 3 – 0 46 Reversals –113 –12 –27 –3 –62 –217 Balance as of 12/31/2024 2,297 402 512 27 597 3,835 of which current 1,397 111 160 27 413 2,108 of which noncurrent 900 291 352 – 184 1,727 Obligations arising from unit sales contain provisions that cover all risks attributable to the sale of vehicles and spare parts. These primarily relate to provisions for warranties and statutory or contractual guarantee obligations. They also include provisions for discounts, bonuses, and similar allowances incurred after the reporting date, but for which there is a legal or constructive obligation attributable to sales revenue before the reporting date. Provisions for obligations to employees are recognized for long-service awards, partial retirement arrangements, severance payments, and similar obligations, among other things. 160 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 161 ===== As of December 31, 2024, there were provisions for civil lawsuits against Scania Vehicles & Services and MAN Truck & Bus in connection with the EU antitrust proceedings. The provisions for litigation and legal risks also contain amounts related to a large number of legal disputes and official proceedings in which TRATON GROUP companies become involved in Germany and internationally in the course of their operating activities. In particular, such legal disputes and other proceedings may occur in relation to suppliers, dealers, customers, and employees. Refer to Note “38. Litigation/legal proceedings” for a discussion of the legal risks. Miscellaneous provisions relate to a large number of identifiable specific risks and uncertain obligations arising from operating activities that are measured at the expected settlement amount. Miscellaneous provisions also contain provisions for litigation in connection with indirect and other taxes. 33. Statement of cash flows Accounting policies: statement of cash flows The cash and cash equivalents presented in the statement of cash flows correspond to the “Cash and cash equivalents” balance sheet item (see Note “26. Cash and cash equivalents”). Current account overdraft facilities are not presented as a com- ponent of cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows, but are reported in net cash used in/provided by financing activities if they are used. In 2024, net cash provided by/used in operating activities contained interest received of €1,484 million (previous year: €1,213 million) and interest paid of €1,510 million (previous year: €1,300 million). Net cash provided by/used in operating activities in 2024 also con- tained dividends received from joint ventures and associates amounting to €159 million (previous year: €27 million) and dividends received from other equity investments of €1 million (previous year: €4 million). Other noncash income and expenses result primar- ily from measurement effects relating to financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies and fair value changes relating to derivatives. We report the acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries in investing activities. Payments from the disposal of subsidiaries are reported net of cash and cash equivalents disposed at the date of disposal. Payments of €1 million (previous year: €400 million) were offset against cash and cash equivalents disposed of €1 million (previous year: €304 million) in 2024. A further €31 million (previous year: €31 million) was received in the reporting period in the context of purchase price adjustments from the disposal of MWM in 2022. When subsidiaries are acquired, cash and cash equivalents acquired are deducted from the purchase price paid. In the year under review, €4 million (previous year: €5 million) of cash and cash equivalents acquired was therefore deducted from the purchase prices paid in the total amount of €73 million (previous year: €43 million). In the reporting period, this includes a purchase price payment of €58 million, less €4 million in cash and cash equivalents received, for the expansion and acquisition of rights to MAN’s financial services business. The “Investments to acquire subsidiaries and other businesses” line item had contained €271 million in 2023 that was paid into an account at VW Bank under the terms of the framework agreement to gradually acquire key aspects of the global MAN and VWTB financial services business.

Significance of financial instruments for net assets, financial position, and results of operations Recognition, derecognition, and classification of financial instruments Accounting policies: recognition, derecognition, and classification of financial instruments Primary financial instruments are accounted for at the settlement date in the case of regular way purchases or sales — that is, the date on which the asset is delivered. Financial instruments are recognized at the time when TRATON becomes a party to the contract. A financial asset is derecognized if the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred, and TRATON has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, in particular the bad debt and payment date risk. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligations specified in the con- tract are fulfilled or canceled. Classification of financial assets depends on the contractual cash flow character - istics and TRATON’s business model for managing financial assets. Since generally all cash flows from primary financial instruments of the TRATON GROUP, with the exception of other equity investments, consist exclusively of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and since TRATON’s intention is to collect these contractual cash flows, financial assets in the form of a debt instru- ment are exclusively allocated to the “at amortized cost” measurement category. If, in individual cases, the cash flows from primary financial instruments do not consist exclusively of principal and interest payments on the principal amount out- standing, these financial assets are assigned to the “at fair value” measurement category. 162 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 163 ===== In the case of derivatives and other equity investments, the cash flows do not consist exclusively of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. They are therefore allocated to the “at fair value” measurement cate- gory. For further information on derivative financial instruments included in hedge accounting, see the “Derivatives and hedge accounting” section in this chapter. With the exception of derivatives, all financial liabilities are allocated to the “at amortized cost” measurement category. Investments in associates and joint ventures as well as lease receivables and liabil- ities are allocated to “no measurement category”. Financial instruments that form part of a disposal group continue to be allocated to their original IFRS 9 measure- ment category. Reconciliation of balance sheet items to classes of financial instruments The following table shows the reconciliation of the balance sheet items to the relevant classes of financial instruments, broken down by the carrying amount and fair value of the financial instruments.

If no active market exists, fair value is determined using observable inputs as far as possible. If no observable inputs are available, fair value is determined using valuation tech - niques. Measurement and presentation of the fair value of financial instruments are based on a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used for mea- surement and is categorized as follows: Level 1 inputs: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 inputs: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of Level 2 financial instruments is determined on the basis of the condi- tions prevailing at the end of the reporting period, such as interest rates or exchange rates, and using recognized models, such as discounted cash flow or option pricing models. Level 3 inputs: Level 3 inputs are inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The fair value of these assets and liabilities is determined on the basis of previous transactions, option pricing models, or discounted cash flow models. The financial instruments that are categorized within fair value Level 2 primarily comprise derivative financial instruments. The other equity investments measured at fair value are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These equity investments largely comprise shares in unlisted companies for which there is no active market. Due to the small carrying amount of these investments, a change in unobservable inputs would not result in a significantly lower or higher fair value of the instruments. These include shares of TuSimple Holdings Inc., San Diego, USA, which were delisted in February 2024. As market prices are no longer available, the shares with a value of €13 million were reclassified from Level 1 of the fair value hier- archy into Level 3. In the current fiscal year, the value change of €–13 million (€–11 million) is recognized in other comprehensive income in the “Fair value measurement of other equity investments”, with the shares at Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy accounting for €–13 million (€0 million). The “Other financial assets” item includes a receivable relating to contingent consider - ation from the disposal of MWM. The receivable is measured at fair value through profit or loss and categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, since it was measured using probability and usage assumptions. In addition, the “Other financial assets” item also includes receivables from associates arising from convertible loan agreements. The receivables are measured at fair value through profit or loss and categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as assumptions are made regarding the various conversion scenarios and their probability of occurrence. The loan was converted into shares in December 2024. This transaction was accounted for as a non-cash transaction and had no impact on cash and cash equivalents. Any change in the unobservable inputs would not result in any significant change in the fair value of any of the instruments. 166 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 167 ===== The following table shows changes in other equity investments and other financial assets measured at fair value and categorized within Level 3: Changes in balance sheet items measured at fair value based on Level 3 2024 2023 € million Other equity investments categorized within Level 3 Other finan - cial assets categorized within Level 3 Other equity investments categorized within Level 3 Other finan - cial assets categorized within Level 3 Balance as of 01/01 127 73 110 14 Fair value changes in “Fair value measurement of other equity investments” recognized in other comprehensive income –88 – 6 – Fair value changes in “Other financial result” recognized in profit or loss – 9 – 11 Additions/acquisitions 14 0 11 47 Reclassification from Level 1 13 – – – Currency translation differences –3 –5 0 1 Changes in basis of consolidation 7 – – – Sales and settlements – –61 – – Balance as of 12/31 71 16 127 73 The major part of the fair value changes in “Fair value measurement of other equity invest- ments” recognized in other comprehensive income relates to the decrease in fair value of the other equity investment in Northvolt AB due to the filing for creditor protection under US law in November 2024. The decline in fair value was calculated using unobserv- able inputs and based on the best information available. Reclassifications between the levels of the fair value hierarchy are accounted for at the relevant reporting dates. The reclassification from Level 1 into Level 3 in 2024 relates to the investment in TuSimple, for which no market price data is available due to the delist- ing in February 2024. There were no reclassifications between levels of the fair value hierarchy in 2023. Net gains and losses on financial instruments measured at fair value € millions 2024 2023 Net gains and losses: Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss –410 –9 Net gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss mainly comprise derivatives not included in hedge accounting. Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost Accounting policies: financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost As a rule, primary financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at cost, plus or minus transaction costs. Primary financial assets and liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the amount at which financial assets or liabilities are measured at initial recognition, minus any principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization of any difference between the original amount and the amount repayable at maturity, amortized using the effective interest method. In the case of financial assets, the amount is adjusted for any loss allowances. If fair value is disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost, it is calculated by discounting, using a market rate of interest for a similar risk and matching maturity. In all cases, the TRATON GROUP recognizes lifetime expected credit losses ( ECLs) for trade receivables and lease receivables (referred to in the following as the “sim- plified approach”). For trade receivables, expected credit losses are estimated using a provision matrix unless there is objective evidence of individual impairment. The provision matrix is based on the Group’s historical loss experience, adjusted for debtor-specific factors, general economic factors, and an estimate of both current 167 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 168 ===== and expected changes in variables as of the reporting date, including the time value of money. The provision rates depend on the number of days a receivable is past due: – Not impaired and not past due: 1.0% of the receivable – Up to 30 days past due: 1.5% of the receivable – 31 to 90 days past due: 2.0% of the receivable – More than 91 days past due: 3.0% of the receivable For other financial instruments, the TRATON GROUP recognizes lifetime ECLs if there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (referred to in the following as the “general approach”). By contrast, if the credit risk of the finan- cial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, a loss allow- ance is measured for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs. To the extent that the internal risk management and control systems do not indicate a significant increase in credit risk at an earlier point in time, there is gen- erally a rebuttable presumption in the TRATON GROUP that a significant increase in credit risk has arisen if payments are more than one day past due. Financial instruments are allocated to one of four loss stages: Stage 1: financial instruments at initial recognition and whose credit risk has not increased significantly Stage 2: financial instruments with a significant increase in credit risk since recog- nition of the instrument, based on expected credit losses over the lifetime of the underlying contract Stage 3: credit-impaired financial instruments Stage 4: purchased or originated credit-impaired financial instruments Allocation to a stage is reviewed in each reporting period. A financial asset is credit- impaired if one or more events have occurred that negatively impact future expected cash flows. These events include delayed payment over a certain period, the institution of enforcement measures, the threat of insolvency or overindebted- ness, the application for or opening of bankruptcy proceedings, or the failure of reorganization measures. The amount of expected credit losses is based on the probability of default, the loss given default, and the exposure at default. The loss given default takes into account collateral received and other credit enhancements. For financial assets, expected credit losses are calculated as the present value of the difference between all contractual cash flows payable to the TRATON GROUP under the terms of the contract and all cash flows that the Group expects to receive. This difference is discounted using the original effective interest rate (or the credit- adjusted effective interest rate for Stage 4 financial instruments). If, based on the internal risk management and control systems, there are no grounds for assuming that there will be an increase in credit risk at an earlier point in time, there is a rebuttable presumption in the TRATON GROUP that default has occurred if pay - ments are more than 90 days past due. Appropriate groupings are made when determining the expected credit losses. The financial asset is always derecognized if there are no longer any reasonable expectations that it is collectible. The loss allowance for the subsequent measurement of Stage 4 financial instru - ments is measured as the cumulative change in lifetime expected credit loss. These instruments are not reclassified from Stage 4. 168 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 169 ===== The following tables contain an overview of the financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost by level: Fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost by level € million Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 12/31/2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 12/31/2023 Financial services receivables – – 9,488 9,488 – – 7,992 7,992 Trade receivables – 3,096 – 3,096 – 3,894 – 3,894 Income tax receivables – 34 – 34 – 5 – 5 Other financial assets 0 860 49 909 1 976 0 977 Marketable securities and investment deposits – 46 – 46 – 53 – 53 Cash and cash equivalents 2,542 – – 2,542 1,730 – – 1,730 Fair values of financial assets measured at amortized cost 2,542 4,035 9,537 16,114 1,731 4,928 7,992 14,650 Trade payables – 5,349 – 5,349 – 5,791 – 5,791 Financial liabilities 9,418 13,837 – 23,255 6,075 14,390 – 20,465 Other financial liabilities 18 3,389 0 3,408 19 3,643 0 3,662 Income tax payables – 5 – 5 – 8 – 8 Fair values of financial liabilities measured at amortized cost 9,436 22,581 0 32,017 6,094 23,832 0 29,926 The lease receivables have a carrying amount of €6,423 million (previous year: €5,333 million) and a fair value (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) of €6,414 million (pre- vious year: €5,295 million).

In addition, net gains and losses on financial assets include impairment losses as well as related reversals. For further information on credit risk, refer to Note “35. Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments”. Derivatives and hedge accounting Accounting policies: derivatives and hedge accounting Derivatives are initially recognized and accounted for at each subsequent reporting date at their fair value. They are generally recognized at the trade date. The recognition of gains and losses from fair value measurement depends on the designation of the derivative. Derivatives that do not meet the IFRS 9 hedge accounting criteria are measured at fair value through profit or loss (also referred to in the following as “derivatives or hedging instruments not included in hedge accounting”). These gains and losses from measurement and realization are recog- nized in other operating income/expense (for example, foreign currency derivatives for customer orders) or in financial result (for example, foreign currency hedges for net liquidity items), depending on the underlying risk. A condition for applying hedge accounting is that the hedging relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument is clearly documented and that there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument that is not dominated by the effect of the credit risk. The hedging instruments are selected so that they are essentially affected by the same risk as the underlying transactions, namely foreign exchange risk or interest rate risk. In the case of cash flow hedges, gains or losses from the remeasurement of the effective designated portion of the derivative are recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve in other comprehensive income. If the forward element and the cross-currency basis spread are not designated, the resulting gains and losses are recognized in the reserve for cost of hedging. The amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the income statement as soon as the hedged future cash flows are recognized in profit or loss. The reclassification of both the cash flow hedge reserve and the reserve for cost of hedging is recognized in the item to which the hedged item is allocated. If a cash flow hedge subsequently results in the recognition of a nonfinancial asset, the cash flow hedge reserve and the reserve for cost of hedging are included in the initial cost of the nonfinancial asset; this does not constitute any reclassification adjustment. The ineffective por- tion of a cash flow hedge is recognized in profit or loss for the period. When hedging against the risk of changes in the value of balance sheet items (fair value hedges), both the hedging instrument and the hedged effective risk portion of the underlying transaction are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of hedging instruments and hedged items are recognized in profit or loss. The hedged items in the TRATON GROUP relate to bonds that are measured at amortized cost. Changes in amortized cost because of hedging gains and losses are amortized at the latest when hedge accounting is discontinued. For further information on the risk strategy, refer to Note “35.

Companies that enter into hedging transactions choose the hedge ratio for expected sales revenue on the basis of past experience in order to avoid ineffectiveness. Nevertheless, ineffectiveness can result from changes in counter- party credit risk or if the spot component of a forward is not separated from the forward element. There are no fair value hedges relating to currency risk. 171 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 172 ===== The following tables show details of derivatives included in hedge accounting in terms of the currency risk: Amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows 2024 2023 Maturity Maturity € million < 1 year 1–5 years > 5 years Total nominal amount < 1 year 1–5 years > 5 years Total nominal amount Currency risk Currency forwards BRL/USD 178 199 – 377 119 120 – 239 Currency forwards EUR/GBP 232 – – 232 454 – – 454 Currency forwards EUR/CHF 82 5 – 87 135 – – 135 Currency forwards EUR/ZAR 74 – – 74 70 – – 70 Currency forwards EUR/DKK 46 – – 46 72 – – 72 Currency forwards EUR/USD 24 18 – 42 37 1 – 37 Currency forwards EUR/CZK 20 4 – 25 – – – – Currency forwards EUR/NOK 23 – – 23 31 – – 31 Currency forwards — other currencies 42 5 – 47 81 – – 81 722 231 – 953 999 121 – 1,120 Currency risk was hedged by cash flow hedges at the following average hedging exchange rates for the major currency pairs: 6.06 BRL/USD; 0.85 EUR/GBP; 0.93 EUR/CHF.

In addition, the TRATON GROUP entered into interest rate swaps with a nominal value of €624 million (previous year: €271 million) to hedge the interest rate risk of International Financial’s fixed-rate asset-backed securities debt. The interest rate swaps and the hedged items have the same material conditions, which is why an offsetting economic relationship can be assumed. Nevertheless, ineffectiveness arises mainly because of TRATON’s nondesignated own credit risk, which is reflected in the measure - ment of the swaps. The hedging relationships are accounted for as a fair value hedge. 173 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 174 ===== The following tables show details of the derivatives: Amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows 2024 2023 Maturity Maturity € million < 1 year 1–5 years > 5 years Total < 1 year 1–5 years > 5 years Total Interest rate risk Interest rate swaps 42 105 – 147 102 143 8 253 The average rate for interest rate swaps used to hedge interest rate risk in fair value hedges was 1.72% (previous year: 0.54%).

Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments Principles of financial risk management Due to the TRATON GROUP’s business activities and international focus, its assets, liabil - ities, and forecast transactions are exposed to credit, liquidity, currency, interest rate, and commodity price risk. The Group’s currency, interest rate, and commodity price risks are hedged with banks on the basis of internally defined limits. The TRATON GROUP uses suitable financial instru - ments such as derivatives to do this. Financial risks from balance sheet items, the order backlog, and other projected transactions are hedged. Such risks are not managed cen- trally, but directly by TRATON SE and each of its brands. The relevant requirements of each company are considered since different functional currencies and business environments apply. Counterparty risk is diversified as much as possible and monitored centrally. Liquidity risk is minimized by diversifying the sources of funding and ensuring a balanced mix of funding with different maturities, currencies, and interest rate agreements. The TRATON GROUP management is notified regularly about the financial risk position. Compliance with the applicable Group policies is reviewed by the internal Audit function. Credit and default risk The TRATON GROUP is exposed to credit risk through its business operations and financ- ing activities. From the Group’s perspective, credit risk entails the risk that a party to a financial instrument will fail to meet its contractual obligations and thus cause a financial loss for the Group. Credit risk comprises both the direct default risk and the risk of a deterioration in credit quality. The maximum credit risk is reflected in the carrying amount of the financial assets recognized in the balance sheet. The TRATON GROUP holds collateral and other credit enhancements to further mitigate credit risk. Assets assigned as security, credit insurance, and guarantees are used as collateral. The risk from primary financial instruments is addi- tionally accounted for by recognizing bad debt allowances. The financial institutions and investment forms are carefully selected when investing cash funds, while a central limit system ensures diversification. Significant investments and derivatives are only entered into with national and international prime-rated banks. There are no material concentrations of credit risk in the TRATON GROUP. Credit risk related to credit commitments to customers is managed decentrally, consid - ering certain limits and using local credit quality assessments. Decisions on major credit commitments for the TRATON GROUP are made in subgroup credit committees. The maximum exposure to credit risk resulting from financial guarantees issued and irrevo - cable credit commitments is determined by the amount that the TRATON GROUP would have to pay in the event of claims under these guarantees. 176 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 177 ===== Reconciliation of the loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortized cost General approach € million 12-month expected credit losses (Stage 1) Lifetime expected credit losses — not impaired (Stage 2) Lifetime expected credit losses — impaired (Stage 3) Purchased credit-impaired assets (Stage 4) Simplified approach Total Loss allowance as of 01/01/2024 38 11 34 3 179 264 Change 3 6 15 –1 2 25 Loss allowance as of 12/31/2024 40 17 49 1 182 289 Loss allowance as of 01/01/2023 25 11 32 5 143 215 Change 13 0 2 –2 35 49 Loss allowance as of 12/31/2023 38 11 34 3 179 264 Changes in loss allowance for lease receivables 2024 2023 € million Simplified approach Simplified approach Loss allowance as of 01/01 141 338 Change 88 –197 Loss allowance as of 12/31 229 141 The loss allowance relates mainly to credit risk from trade receivables and financial services receivables. The gross carrying amounts of financial assets measured at amortized cost increased by €1,568 million to €16,478 million (previous year: €14,910 million) due in particular to new financial services receivables and an increase in cash and cash equivalents. The TRATON GROUP uses collateral, among other things, to lower credit risk. For financial assets with objective indications of impairment at the reporting date, the collateral mitigates the risk by €159 million (previous year: €74 million), of which €49 million (pre- vious year: €– million) is attributable to collateral furnished for the loan to Northvolt. The carrying amounts of financial assets and the credit risk exposure of financial guaran- tees and credit commitments by credit risk rating grade are presented in the following. Credit risk rating grade 1 consists of financial instruments not exposed to any credit risk. Credit risk rating grade 2 consists of financial instruments that are subject to intensive credit management. Credit risk rating grade 3 consists of impaired financial instruments. 177 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 178 ===== Gross carrying amounts of financial assets by rating grade € million 12-month expected credit losses (Stage 1) Lifetime expected credit losses — not impaired (Stage 2) Lifetime expected credit losses — impaired (Stage 3) Purchased credit impaired assets (Stage 4) Simplified approach 12/31/2024 12-month expected credit losses (Stage 1) Lifetime expected credit losses — not impaired (Stage 2) Lifetime expected credit losses — impaired (Stage 3) Purchased credit impaired assets (Stage 4) Simplified approach 12/31/2023 Rating grade Credit risk rating grade 1 11,896 – – 13 9,754 21,663 10,479 – – 7 8,667 19,153 Credit risk rating grade 2 0 356 – 49 685 1,091 – 245 – 1 622 868 Credit risk rating grade 3 – – 170 2 288 460 – – 104 2 257 363 11,896 356 170 64 10,727 23,213 10,479 245 104 10 9,546 20,384 In the case of financial guarantee contracts and credit commitments, the bulk of the default risk exposure, accounting for €1,381 million (previous year: €1,651 million), relates to financial instruments for which the impairment loss is calculated on the basis of the expected 12-month credit loss (Stage 1), and is therefore allocated to credit risk rating grade 1. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk describes the risk that the TRATON GROUP will have difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities or that it can only procure liquidity at a higher price. To counter the liquidity risk, cash inflows and outflows and due dates are continuously monitored and managed. Cash requirements are primarily met by our oper- ating business and by external financing arrangements. The TRATON GROUP’s solvency and liquidity are assured at all times by rolling liquidity planning, a liquidity reserve in the form of cash, credit lines with financial institutions and companies of the Volkswagen Group, and the issuance of securities on international money and capital markets. Special issuance programs and financing lines have been established for companies in the TRATON Financial Services segment to cover their funding requirements. There were no material concentrations of liquidity risk in the past fiscal year. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to €2,542 million (previous year: €1,730 million) as of December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents in certain countries (e.g., Brazil, China, and Poland) in the amount of €834 million (previous year: €792 million) are subject to exchange controls and are not available to the Group for cross-border transactions with- out restriction. Such amounts are used locally to cover the financing needs of the oper - ating business. The TRATON GROUP’s credit facilities include customary change-of-control clauses, allowing the counterparty to demand early repayment in case of significant changes in ownership. Two loans to a subsidiary of the TRATON GROUP used to develop and construct production and assembly facilities in China include a financial covenant each that requires the ratio of the subsidiary’s total liabilities to its total assets not to exceed 90%. As of December 31, 2024, these loans have a term of ten years and a volume of €400 million (previous year: €– million), of which €308 million (previous year: €– million) was drawn down as of Decem- ber 31, 2024. The bank monitors compliance with these financial covenants annually on the basis of the audited single-entity financial statements of the subsidiary. As of Decem- ber 31, 2024, the TRATON GROUP did not breach the financial covenants included in the loan agreements. 178 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 179 ===== The TRATON GROUP also has an unused confirmed syndicated credit line of €4,500 million (previous year: €4,500 million) available as a liquidity reserve. As an additional liquidity reserve, the TRATON GROUP has revolving credit lines of €4,300 million (previous year: €4,300 million) at Volkswagen AG, of which €943 million (previous year: €797 million) was drawn down. In addition, the TRATON GROUP has unused unconfirmed credit lines from banks amounting to €562 million (previous year: €624 million) in order to enhance flexibility in financing decisions. The following table shows how the cash flows relating to liabilities, derivatives, and finan- cial guarantees affect the TRATON GROUP’s liquidity position: 2024 2023 Maturity overview Remaining contractual maturities Remaining contractual maturities € million 2025 2026–2029 > 2029 2024 2025–2028 > 2028 Financial liabilities 1 9,435 15,375 2,351 8,014 12,170 2,662 Trade payables 1 5,349 – – 5,780 11 1 Other financial liabilities1, 2 1,812 1,619 66 1,973 1,558 102 Derivatives 8,757 6,430 1,459 5,203 3,726 1,950 Financial guarantees 508 – – 734 – – 25,860 23,424 3,875 21,704 17,464 4,715 1 The amounts were calculated as follows: – If there is no agreement on contractual maturity, the liability refers to the earliest possible maturity date. – In the case of variable interest rate agreements, interest reflects the conditions as of the reporting date. – It is assumed that the cash outflows will not occur earlier than shown. 2 The undiscounted maximum cash outflows from buyback obligations are recognized as a financial liability. Derivatives comprise both cash outflows from derivatives with negative fair values and cash outflows from derivatives with positive fair values for which gross settlement has been agreed. Derivatives entered into through offsetting transactions are also accounted for as cash outflows. The cash outflows from derivatives for which gross settlement has been agreed are matched by cash inflows that are not disclosed in the maturity analysis. If these cash inflows had also been recognized, the cash outflows presented would be significantly lower. This also applies in particular if hedges have been closed out through offsetting transactions. The cash outflows from irrevocable credit commitments are presented in Note “39. Other financial obligations”, classified by contractual maturities. In addition, individual companies of the TRATON GROUP use supplier finance arrange - ments in which a supplier sells its existing trade receivables to a bank or third-party pro- vider. The arrangements are subject to the following terms and conditions: – Traditional supplier finance arrangements (single source of financing) The supplier sends the invoice to the TRATON GROUP company after the goods have been delivered. The invoice is approved for payment by TRATON and the supplier offers the approved invoice for purchase to the designated bank. The bank accepts the offer, buys the invoice, and immediately pays a discounted invoice amount to the supplier. TRATON pays the full invoice amount to the bank when it is due. – Platform-based supplier finance arrangements (multi-bank approach) The supplier sends the invoice to the TRATON GROUP company after the goods have been delivered. The invoice is approved for payment by TRATON. The supplier approves the invoices on the platform for early payment. One of the banks/third-party providers on the platform accepts the offer, buys the invoice, and immediately pays a discounted invoice amount to the supplier. TRATON pays the full invoice amount to the bank/ third-party provider when it is due. 179 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 180 ===== These continue to be presented in the balance sheet under trade payables because they meet the definition of a trade payable, and the contractual terms (e.g., payment terms) do not change or do not change materially. Collateral is not pledged in this context. Cor- respondingly, the cash outflow is reported in net cash provided by/used in operating activities. As of December 31, 2024, trade payables include €421 million (€559 million) attributable to supplier finance arrangements, for which the suppliers already received payments of €416 million. These do not result in any material liquidity risks or risks from risk concentrations, and there were no noncash transfers of trade payables to financial liabilities in the reporting period. Currency risk Currency risk describes the risk of negative effects on earnings, cash flow, and balance sheet items due to exchange rate movements. The TRATON GROUP’s currency risk is a result of its investments, financing measures, and operating activities. Currency forwards, currency options, currency swaps, and cross-currency swaps are used to mitigate risks to future cash flows. The inclusion of subsidiaries or other affiliated Group companies in countries outside the eurozone in the consolidated financial statements represents a risk as a result of currency translation. As a general rule, TRATON does not use derivatives to hedge these translation risks. Assets in the TRATON Financial Services segment should generally be funded by liabilities in the same currency. Hedging transactions entered into as part of foreign currency risk management were mainly in Brazilian reais, British pounds sterling, Swedish kronor, and US dollars. There are no material concentrations of currency risk in the TRATON GROUP. The primary and derivative financial instruments at the end of the reporting period were measured in a hypothetical scenario as part of a sensitivity analysis. The effects of a 10% increase/decrease in an exchange rate were as follows: 12/31/2024 12/31/2023 Equity Earnings for the period Equity Earnings for the period € million +10% –10% +10% –10% +10% –10% +10% –10% Currency pair EUR/SEK – – –644 639 – – – 221 221 EUR/BRL – – 174 –174 – – – 181 181 EUR/USD 2 –3 –52 34 2 – 3 – 2 3 SEK/USD – – 39 –39 – – 22 – 22 EUR/GBP 14 –17 10 –13 28 – 34 26 – 32 CNY/SEK – – –22 22 – – – 7 7 USD/BRL 3 –3 –7 12 3 – 3 8 – 8 EUR/PLN – – –13 13 – – – 2 2 Interest rate risk Interest rate risk describes the risk of negative effects from movements in interest rates. Financial instruments that are sensitive to movements in interest rates are exposed to interest rate risk in the form of fair value risk or cash flow risk. Fair value risk is calculated using the sensitivity of the carrying amount of a recognized financial instrument to changes in market interest rates. Cash flow risk describes the exposure to variability in future interest payments in response to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps are used to implement the risk management strategy. The TRATON GROUP is exposed to interest rate risk from interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. Intragroup financing arrangements are mainly funded at matching maturities. Departures from the Group’s standards are subject to centrally defined limits and are monitored continuously. 180 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 181 ===== Interest rate risk within the meaning of IFRS 7 is calculated for the companies using sensitivity analyses. Any earnings effects attributable to interest rate sensitivity would be recognized exclusively in earnings for the period. The Group’s activities in the TRATON Financial Services segment are managed to largely match assets and liabilities in order to minimize interest rate mismatches. Appropriate risk methodologies are applied. There are no material concentrations of interest rate risk in the TRATON GROUP. If market interest rates had been 100 basis points (bps) higher as of December 31, 2024, earnings after tax would have been €20 million lower (previous year: €51 million lower). If market interest rates had been 100 bps lower as of December 31, 2024, earnings after tax would have been €19 million higher (previous year: €51 million higher). Commodity price risk The TRATON GROUP is primarily exposed to commodity price risk from fluctuations in the price and availability of commodities. Commodity price risks are captured centrally at regular intervals for MAN Truck & Bus and International Motors and hedged externally based on defined risk limits, provided there are liquid markets. This approach also con - siders whether changes in commodity prices will be reflected in higher selling prices for the products. The Group enters into cash-settled commodity futures to mitigate these risks. There were no material concentrations of risk in the past fiscal year. Cash-settled commodity futures had been entered into at the balance sheet date to hedge commodity price risks relating to purchase contracts with a fair value of €–2 million (pre- vious year: €1 million). Hedge accounting is not used at present. The maximum remaining maturity of hedges of future transactions at the end of fiscal year 2024 was 33 months (previous year: 30 months). Reflecting the sensitivity analysis of currency risk, a hypothetical 10% increase/decrease in the value of commodity prices did not have any significant effect on earnings after tax. 36. Capital management The TRATON GROUP’s capital management ensures that the goals and strategies can be achieved in the interests of its shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders. Man - agement focuses in particular on the net financial debt/ EBITDA (adjusted) ratio for the TRATON Operations business area, including Corporate Items, and on increasing the return on equity in the TRATON Financial Services segment. Corporate Items comprises TRATON Holding, consolidation effects between the business areas and with TRATON Holding, and the effects of purchase price allocation from the acquisition of individual segments. The return on investment, which was used up to and including fiscal year 2023 to deter- mine the minimum return on invested capital in the TRATON Operations business area that is required by the capital markets, is no longer used for capital management pur - poses. As a general rule, the capital structure of the TRATON Operations business area including Corporate Items should correspond to an implied solid investment-grade classification. The net financial debt/EBITDA (adjusted) ratio is a key performance indicator in this con- text. If justified by extraordinary financing requirements or special market circumstances, this target can be temporarily relaxed subject to certain conditions. TRATON SE has been awarded external credit ratings by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s (S&P) since June 2020. Moody’s is currently awarding a long-term rating of Baa2 (positive outlook), and S&P’s rating is BBB (stable outlook). Both ratings are investment-grade. The net financial debt to EBITDA (adjusted) ratio is calculated by dividing net liquidity/ net financial debt by EBITDA (adjusted) for the past twelve months and is determined for the TRATON Operations business area, including Corporate Items (see “Report on Eco - nomic Position — 5. Financial Position — Net Liquidity/Net Financial Debt” in the Com- bined Management Report). Net liquidity or net financial debt is calculated as gross liquidity, meaning cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, investment deposits, and loans to affiliated companies (incl. restricted cash), less third-party borrowings (noncurrent and current financial liabil- ities). It reflects cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, investment deposits, and loans to affiliated companies not financed by third-party borrowings. The net financial debt to EBITDA (adjusted) ratio for the TRATON Operations business area including Cor - porate Items includes the total net liquidity/net financial debt of the TRATON Operations business area and Corporate Items. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) (adjusted) reflects operating performance before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, after accounting for the use of resources. Since depreciation and amortization may depend on the chosen accounting policies, the carrying amounts, the capital structure, and the way in which an asset was acquired, EBITDA (adjusted) is used as a key performance indicator for peer group comparisons, in particular. Adjustments to operating result are also taken into account in determining EBITDA (adjusted). The EBITDA (adjusted) for the 181 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 182 ===== TRATON Operations business area including Corporate Items is used to calculate the net financial debt/EBITDA (adjusted) ratio for the TRATON Operations business area including Corporate Items. The return on equity in the TRATON Financial Services segment is calculated as the ratio of earnings before tax to average equity. Average equity is calculated from the equity at the beginning and the end of the reporting period. An additional goal is to satisfy the capital requirements of the banking regulator. To do so, a planning procedure integrated into internal reporting has been put in place, allow- ing the required equity to be continuously determined on the basis of actual and expected business performance. The external minimum capital requirements applicable to certain companies in the TRATON Financial Services segment were met. The net financial debt/EBITDA (adjusted) ratio for the TRATON Operations business area including Corporate Items as well as the return on equity in the TRATON Financial Services segment are shown in the following table: € million 2024 2023 TRATON Operations including Corporate Items Net liquidity/net financial debt 4,903 5,777 EBITDA (adjusted) 5,974 5,522 Net financial debt/EBITDA (adjusted) ratio –0.8 –1.0 TRATON Financial Services Earnings before tax 212 171 Average equity 1,968 2,030 Return on equity before tax (in %) 10.8 8.4 37. Contingent liabilities and commitments Accounting policies: contingent liabilities and commitments If the criteria for recognizing a provision are not met, but the outflow of financial resources is not improbable, or if the provision amount cannot be measured reliably, such obligations are disclosed in the form of the note shown below. Contingent liabilities are only recognized as a provision once the obligations are more certain, i.e., the outflow of financial resources has become probable, and their amount can be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities and commitments € million 12/31/2024 12/31/2023 Liabilities under buyback guarantees 2,639 2,926 Contingent liabilities under guarantees 547 777 Other contingent liabilities 1,431 1,133 4,618 4,835 Customer liabilities to financial services companies of the Volkswagen Group, to joint ventures, and, to a small extent, to third parties are covered by standard industry buyback guarantees under which TRATON is obliged to buy back vehicles from the financial ser - vices company in the event of default. Liabilities under buyback guarantees at the end of the fiscal year amounted to €2,478 million (previous year: €2,781 million) owed to financing companies of the Volkswagen Group, €155 million (previous year: €134 million) owed to joint ventures, and €6 million (previous year: €11 million) owed to third parties. The year-on-year decline in buyback guarantees is due to the acquisition of key aspects of the global financial services business of Volkswagen Financial Services for MAN and VWTB by the TRATON Financial Services segment. The obligations under buyback guar - antees correspond to the maximum expenses that may arise from obligations of this type. However, experience shows that the majority of these guarantees expire without being drawn upon. 182 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 183 ===== As of December 31, 2024, contingent liabilities under guarantees include financial guar - antees of €515 million (previous year: €742 million). These are mostly default guarantees by International in favor of banks. The guarantees in favor of or for related party entities were insignificant at year-end. Other contingent liabilities mainly contain contingent liabilities for potential tax risks, which primarily concern Volkswagen Truck & Bus. For further information, refer to Note “38. Litigation/legal proceedings”. 38. Litigation/legal proceedings MAN and Scania/EU antitrust proceedings In July 2016, the European Commission reached settlements (the “Settlement Decision”) with MAN and four other European truck manufacturers (excluding Scania) finding col - lusive arrangements on pricing and the timing and the passing on of costs for emission technologies for medium- and heavy-duty trucks from January 17, 1997, to January 18, 2011 (for MAN: until September 20, 2010). MAN was granted immunity from fines since it had revealed these practices to the European Commission in September 2010. Scania decided not to apply for leniency and not to settle this antitrust case and, by decision of the Euro- pean Commission dated September 27, 2017 (the “Scania Decision”), received a fine in the amount of approximately €880.5 million. Scania appealed the Scania Decision to the General Court of the European Union and asked for full annulment. On February 2, 2022, the General Court rendered its judgment, whereby Scania’s appeal was dismissed in its entirety and the amount of fines set by the European Commission upheld. On April 8, 2022, Scania appealed against the judgment of the General Court of the European Union from February 2, 2022, to the European Court of Justice. The €880.5 million fine plus interest from the EU antitrust proceedings was paid on April 12, 2022, to avoid additional interest penalties. On February 1, 2024, the European Court of Justice decided to dismiss Scania’s appeal. Following the Settlement Decision, a significant number of (direct and indirect) truck customers in various jurisdictions have initiated or joined lawsuits against MAN and/or Scania. With the merger of MAN SE with TRATON SE taking effect, TRATON SE has — in most jurisdictions — automatically assumed the procedural role of MAN SE as legal suc- cessor in the respective proceedings (and is insofar covered by “MAN companies”). Even if such claims may have expired under the respective applicable local laws, it cannot be excluded that further lawsuits will be filed. The claims against MAN companies differ significantly in scope; while some truck customers only bought or leased a single truck, other cases concern a multitude of trucks. Furthermore, some truck customer damages claims have been combined in class actions or through claim aggregators to which the truck customers assigned their respective damages claims. MAN takes the view that there are well-founded arguments against such claims and takes appropriate steps to defend itself. However, it cannot be excluded that these claims result in substantial liabilities for MAN including significant costs for their defense, which may have a material adverse effect on MAN’s financial results, cash flows and financial positions. Given the inherently complex nature of these claims and the different stages of the proceedings (with a number of cases still in a rather early stage), it is not possible to make a reliable estimate of the total liability that may arise from these claims. MAN is continuously monitoring the develop - ment and re-assesses the respective risks on a regular basis. Direct and indirect customers in various jurisdictions have initiated or joined lawsuits against Scania. Further, Scania has received a number of third-party notices from other defendant commercial vehicle manufacturers. As is the case for MAN, the claims against Scania differ significantly in scope as some customers only bought or leased one truck while others operate a whole fleet of commercial vehicles. Furthermore, some customer damages claims in other jurisdictions have been combined in class actions or through claim aggregators. The exact number of commercial vehicles involved is, however, unknown. As of December 31, 2024, no provisions were recognized for the majority of these cases as it is not assumed as of the reporting date that there will be a final and unappealable court ruling awarding damages. TRATON recognized a negative impact on its operating result in the amount of €162 million (previous year: €89 million) for cases in which, as a result of a reassessment of the risks, a final and unappealable ruling under which MAN or Scania would have to pay damages is more likely than unlikely at present. In accordance with IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” (paragraph 92), no further information is disclosed so as not to prejudice TRATON’s position. 183 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 184 ===== VW Truck & Bus Ltda. In the tax proceedings between Volkswagen Truck & Bus Indústria e Comércio de Veícu- los Ltda. (VW Truck & Bus Ltda.), formerly MAN Latin America Indústria e Comércio de Veículos Ltda. ( MAN Latin America), and the Brazilian tax authorities, the Brazilian tax authorities took a different view of the tax implications of the acquisition structure chosen by MAN SE (now merged with TRATON SE) for the acquisition of VW Truck & Bus Ltda. in 2009. The tax proceedings have been divided into two auditing periods, covering the years 2009–2011 (Phase 1) and 2012–2014 (Phase 2). In December 2017, an adverse last instance judgment was rendered by the Brazilian Administrative Court (Phase 1), which was negative for VW Truck & Bus Ltda. VW Truck & Bus Ltda. appealed this judgment before a regular judicial court in 2018. This lawsuit was dismissed in 2019, and an appeal was filed against the dismissal. The appeal was then rejected in June 2023, and a petition for review was filed in July 2023. In the tax proceeding related to Phase 2, a partial success was achieved that partly reduced the penalties. An appeal against this decision was filed, which was rejected in September 2023, thus concluding the Administrative Court pro - ceedings. As a result of a new law regarding the handling of casting vote decisions in September 2023, VW Truck & Bus Ltda. filed an objection to the determinations in October 2023. In May 2024, the amendment to the law already resulted in a significant reduction of the penalties in phase 2, and in November 2024, the complete repeal of the phase 2 penalties was finally achieved. Due to the potential range of penalties plus interest which could apply under Brazilian law, the estimated size of the risk in the event that the tax authorities are able to prevail overall with their view is uncertain. This could result in a risk of about BRL 3,068 million (equivalent to €477 million as of December 31, 2024) for the contested period from 2009 onward. This assessment is based on the accumulated accounts at the reporting date for the claimed tax liability including the potential penalty surcharges, as well as accumulated interest, but excluding any future interest and without discounting any cash flows. Several insurers have issued bank guarantees for the benefit of VW Truck & Bus Ltda. as is cus - tomary in connection with such tax proceedings. Update on the MAN SE merger squeeze-out The merger of MAN SE with TRATON SE was entered in the commercial register of MAN SE and TRATON SE on August 31, 2021. With this, MAN SE ceased to exist as an independent legal entity, and all rights and obligations were transferred to TRATON SE. MAN SE shares were delisted at the same time. Cash compensation in the amount of €70.68 per common and preferred share was paid out to MAN SE noncontrolling shareholders on September 3, 2021. This marked the conclusion of the MAN SE merger squeeze-out. The appropriateness of the cash compen- sation will be reviewed by a court-appointed auditor as part of the judicial award proceed- ings initiated by affected noncontrolling interest shareholders as applicants. By way of a ruling dated December 20, 2024, which is not yet final, the Regional Court of Munich I increased the cash compensation to €79.71 per common and preferred share. Various applicants as well as TRATON SE appealed against this ruling in January 2025. An expense of €98 million was recognized in other financial result and interest expense in fiscal year 2024 for the transaction. 184 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 185 ===== 39.

On July 12, 2023, companies of the TRATON GROUP and companies of the Volkswagen Group signed a framework agreement on the gradual acquisition of key aspects of the global MAN and VWTB financial services business. TRATON Financial Services AB, Söder- tälje, Sweden, paid €275 million into an account at VW Bank for the acquisition on July 19, 2023. The associated restricted cash decreased accordingly with the acquisitions in fiscal year 2024, amounting to €41 million (previous year: €271 million) as of December 31, 2024, and is recognized as a receivable from other subsidiaries and equity investments of Volkswagen AG that are not part of the TRATON GROUP. The rights to MAN’s future finan- cial services business were acquired in several countries in fiscal year 2024, mainly in Germany, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. Additionally, in Austria, 100% of the shares of MAN Financial Services GesmbH, Eugendorf, Austria, were acquired. TRATON GROUP also acquired the business operations of EURO-Leasing France. The other transfers in the remaining countries had not yet been completed as of the reporting date. See Note “6. Acquisitions” for more information. Liabilities to Volkswagen AG include loans granted by Volkswagen AG in the amount of €750 million (previous year: €500 million) resulting from a €4,000 million (previous year: €4,000 million) credit line. The credit facility is subject to market interest rates. In addition, a further €193 million was borrowed from Volkswagen AG in 2024 under a €300 million credit line. In the previous year, a credit line in the amount of €297 million was borrowed from Volkswagen AG. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2024, Scania has a secured loan of €49 million to Northvolt, which was granted under a USD 100 million framework and is listed as a receivable from other subsidiaries and equity investments of Volkswagen AG that are not part of the TRATON GROUP. The increase in liabilities (including obligations) to other subsidiaries and equity invest - ments of Volkswagen AG that are not part of the TRATON GROUP is attributable to long- term purchase obligations under battery procurement contracts between TRATON GROUP companies and Northvolt Group companies in the amount of €7,974 million (previous year: €7,218 million). Among other things, this category includes loan liabilities of €478 million (previous year: €359 million) to Volkswagen Group of America Finance as well as the loan of €691 million (previous year: €– million) taken out with Volkswagen International Finance at standard market terms. In addition, the acquisition of MAN FS Austria by the TRATON Financial Services segment resulted in the assumption of a loan from Volkswagen Financial Services AG amounting to €201 million (previous year: €– million). There are also other liabilities to Volkswagen Financial Services companies. The TRATON GROUP signed the agreement to establish the Milence charging infrastruc- ture joint venture together with Daimler Truck and the Volvo Group on December 15, 2021. As a result, the TRATON GROUP made a capital contribution of €38 million (previous year: €39 million) as of December 31, 2024. The outstanding obligation as of year-end 2024 is €85 million (previous year: €123 million). The sale of receivables to subsidiaries of Volkswagen AG that are not part of the TRATON GROUP amounted to €1,016 million (previous year: €1,361 million) in fiscal year 2024. See Note “25.

If they are members of German works councils, this is based on the provisions of the Betriebsverfassungsgesetz (BetrVG — German Works Council Con- stitution Act). Post-employment benefits relate to additions to pension provisions, expenses for defined contribution pension plans, and — depending on the social security system — contribu- tions to the Swedish pension system for current members of the Executive Board. In the previous year, the termination benefits had related to payments to Ms. Danielski and Mr. Osterloh in connection with their early departure from the Executive Board. 41. Benefits based on performance shares (share-based payment) Accounting policies: share-based payment The share-based payment for the Executive Board and senior management consists of performance shares. Share-based payment obligations are accounted for as cash-settled plans under IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. For these plans, obligations are measured at fair value during the term of the plan using a recognized option pricing model. The total remuneration expense to be recognized corresponds to the actual payout and is recognized over the vesting period. The remuneration system for the Executive Board comprises fixed and variable compo - nents. The variable remuneration consists of a performance-related profit bonus with a one-year assessment period and a long-term incentive (LTI) in the form of a performance share plan with a forward-looking four-year performance period (share-based payment). The remuneration system applies to all members of the Executive Board with new or extended employment contracts from the date of the 2024 Annual General Meeting. For the members of the Executive Board who were already in office prior to December 16, 2020, the remuneration system shall apply until their contract is renewed and with the proviso that the performance share plan will continue to have a performance period of three years. This no longer applied to any active members of the Executive Board in fiscal year 2024. A performance share plan with a four-year performance period has been in place for Mr. Levin and Mr. Cortes since fiscal year 2024. At the beginning of fiscal year 2022, the group of beneficiaries offered a performance share plan was expanded to include members of the brand Executive Boards who are not members of the Executive Board of TRATON SE under stock corporation law and, in 2023, to include members of International’s management who are entitled to LTIs. The perfor- mance share plan for brand Executive Board members and members of International’s management largely works in the same way as the performance share plan that applies to the members of the Executive Board of TRATON SE. The performance period is four years for the brand Executive Board members and three or four years for the members of International’s management. 188 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 189 ===== At the time the LTI is granted, the annual target amount under the LTI is converted into virtual performance shares on the basis of the initial reference price of TRATON SE shares. These performance shares are allocated to the individual beneficiary as a pure calculation value. At the end of the three- or four-year performance period, a final number of virtual performance shares is determined, based on the degree to which the earnings per share (EPS) performance criterion of the TRATON GROUP has been met. A cash settlement is made at the beginning of the fiscal year following the last fiscal year of the performance period; the issuance of shares of the Company is excluded. The payment amount corre - sponds to the number of specified performance shares multiplied by the closing reference price at the end of the three- or four-year performance period, plus a dividend equivalent for the relevant term. The payment amount under the performance share plan is limited to 250% of the target amount for the Executive Board of TRATON SE under stock corpo- ration law and 200% of the target amount for the brand Executive Board members.

Members of management and employees of the TRATON GROUP not covered by collective bargaining agreements (excluding International) Since fiscal year 2022, members of management and employees of the TRATON GROUP not covered by collective bargaining agreements have received a retrospective long-term bonus whose performance period covers the fiscal year and the three preceding fiscal years. The length of the performance period will be increased gradually starting in fiscal year 2022. It only covers the fiscal year in question for fiscal year 2022, two years for fiscal year 2023, three years for fiscal year 2024, and four years for the first time starting in fiscal year 2025. Payment depends on the TRATON GROUP’s average EPS performance and TRATON’s share price performance (including dividends) over the performance period, and is limited to 200% of the target amount. The payment amount for all beneficiaries is determined by multiplying the target amount by the degree of EPS target achievement and the ratio between the closing reference price at the end of the period, plus a dividend equivalent, and the opening reference price. As of December 31, 2024, the total carrying amount of the obligation, which corresponded to the intrinsic value of the liabilities, amounted to €33 million (previous year: €24 million). A total expense of €34 million (previous year: €24 million) was recognized for these awards in the reporting period. 189 Further InformationSustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Consolidated Financial StatementsTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 190 ===== 42.

In all material respects, this group management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements, complies with German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future develop- ment. We do not express an opinion on the content of the parts of the group manage- ment report listed in the appendix to the auditor’s report. Pursuant to Sec. 322 (3) Sentence 1 HGB, we declare that our audit has not led to any reservations relating to the legal compliance of the consolidated financial statements and of the group management report. Basis for the opinions We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements and of the group man- agement report in accordance with Sec. 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation (No. 537/2014, referred to subsequently as “EU Audit Regulation”) and in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer [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 consolidated financial statements and of the group management report” section of our auditor’s report. We are independent of the Group entities in accordance with the requirements of European law and German commercial and professional law, and we have fulfilled our other German professional responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. In addition, in accordance with Art. 10 (2) f) of the EU Audit Regulation, we declare that we have not provided non-audit services prohibited under Art. 5 (1) of the EU Audit Regulation. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report. Key audit matters in the audit of the consolidated financial statements Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year from 1 January to 31 December 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon; we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 215 Further InformationConsolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementCombined Management Report Responsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports To Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 216 ===== Below, we describe what we consider to be the key audit matters: Recoverability of goodwill Reasons why the matter was determined to be a key audit matter The result of the impairment testing of goodwill is highly dependent on the executive directors’ estimate of future cash flows and which discount rates they use. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is calculated on the basis of their value in use, apply- ing discounted cash flow models. The ongoing transformation of the core business toward electromobility and digitalization as well as growing environmental regulation lead to uncertainties that have to be factored into the estimation of market shares and margins for electric vehicles and the long-term growth rates. There is also currently a delay in the rollout of electromobility. These estimates by the executive directors are subject to risk and may be revised in response to changes in environmental regulation and market conditions. In addition, the executive directors have scope for judgment in determining the cash- generating units for impairment testing, in determining the discount rates used and the long-term growth rates assumed. In view of the foregoing, the materiality of goodwill in relation to total assets, the com - plexity of its valuation and the judgment exercised during valuation, the impairment testing of goodwill was a key audit matter. Auditor’s response As part of our audit procedures, we discussed with management and assessed the identification of cash-generating units and the allocation of assets and liabilities to the respective cash-generating units on the basis of the internal reporting structure. We analyzed the planning process established in the TRATON GROUP and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls implemented in each process. We assessed the underlying valuation models for the determination of values in use calculated using the discounted cash flow model in terms of methodology and reperformed the calculations with the assistance of internal valuation specialists. We discussed the operative planning prepared by the executive directors in connection with the development of sales markets, production costs, margins and growth rates applied with the employees responsible for planning and compared it with external information, particularly with market studies. In doing so, we considered in particular the effects of possible shortages in the supply of important bought-in components, inflation expectations and increases in the cost of materials and personnel expenses. Furthermore, we discussed and assessed the planning assumptions regarding the effects of climate change and the associated expansion of electromobility, particularly the existing uncertainties related to the estimation of market shares for electric vehicles and margins as well as long-term growth rates used for the planning. We assessed the derivation of the capitalization rates, in particular by evaluating the composition of the peer groups used to determine the beta factors and comparing the country-specific parameters used by the TRATON GROUP on the current development of interest rates and market risk premiums. We assessed the sensitivity analyses per - formed by the Company and performed our own in order to estimate any impairment risk associated with a reasonably possible change in one of the significant assumptions. Our audit procedures did not lead to any reservations relating to the assessment of impair- ment testing of goodwill.

Estimates and management’s judgment” and “15. Goodwill and impairment losses on assets” of the notes to the con - solidated financial statements. 216 Further InformationConsolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementCombined Management Report Responsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports To Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 217 ===== Capitalization and recoverability of development costs Reasons why the matter was determined to be a key audit matter Key criteria for capitalizing development costs are the ability to implement the develop- ment projects (including their technical feasibility, the intention to complete them and the ability to use them) as well as the realization of an expected future economic benefit. The complexity of research & development projects is mounting in view of the techno - logical transformation of the TRATON GROUP and the resulting new development areas (including high investments in electromobility and autonomous driving). Assessments of project feasibility are playing an ever greater role in this connection and entail the use of considerable judgment. Where capitalized development costs are not yet subject to amortization, they must be tested for impairment as part of the related cash-generating unit at least annually at the level of the brands defined as cash-generating units. The assumption of realizing future economic benefits and the result of testing the recoverability of capitalized development costs during the analyses and impairment tests performed are highly dependent on the executive directors’ estimate of future cash flows and which discount rates they use. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is calculated on the basis of their value in use, applying discounted cash flow models. The ongoing transformation of the core business toward electromobility and digitalization as well as growing environmental regulation lead to uncertainties that have to be factored into the estimation of market shares and margins for electric vehicles and the long-term growth rates. Growth expectations of the executive directors are subject to risk and may be revised in response to changes in environmental regulation and market conditions. In addition, the executive directors have scope for judgment in determining the cash- generating units for impairment testing, in determining the discount rates used and the long-term growth rates assumed. In light of the foregoing, the materiality of the capitalized development costs in relation to total assets, the total amount of research & development costs and the judgment exercised in the assessment of eligibility for capitalization and the valuation process, the capitalization of development costs and the impairment test were a key audit matter. Auditor’s response During our audit, we examined the process for identifying the research & development costs, particularly with reference to the criteria for capitalization. In this connection, we carried out analytical audit procedures such as comparisons of project budgets and cap- italization rates, inspected documentation on project feasibility and tested the capitalized costs on a sample basis. We also assessed the future economic benefit criterion for cap- italization based on the assumptions regarding the cash inflows of the cash-generating unit to which the capitalized development work is allocated. We also obtained an under- standing of the executive directors’ estimate regarding changes in the useful lives applied and indicators for changes in value of individual projects. Moreover, we involved valuation specialists to assess among other things the methodol- ogy used to determine the relevant cash-generating units and perform the impairment tests in light of the provisions of IAS 36. We also checked the arithmetical accuracy of the valuation models used. We analyzed the planning process established in the TRATON GROUP and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls implemented therein. As a starting point, we com- pared the five-year operational plan of the TRATON GROUP and of the cash-generating units prepared by the executive directors and acknowledged by the Supervisory Board with the forecast figures in the underlying impairment tests. We discussed the key plan- ning assumptions with the executive directors and compared them with past earnings and cash inflows to assess the planning accuracy. We based plausibility testing of the inputs for the impairment tests among other things on a comparison with general and 217 Further InformationConsolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementCombined Management Report Responsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports To Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 218 ===== industry-specific market expectations underlying the expected cash inflows. We also investigated the expectations regarding the development of market shares for battery electric vehicles, the effects on the planned investments and their indirect effects on the long-term cash inflows expected by the executive directors. With respect to the rollforward from the medium-term plan to the long-term forecast, we assessed the plausibility of the assumed growth rates by comparing them with observable data. To assess the discount rates and growth rates applied, we analyzed the inputs used to determine them on the basis of publicly available information and obtained an under - standing of the methods used with regard to the relevant requirements of IAS 36. We also assessed the sensitivity analyses performed by the executive directors and performed our own sensitivity analyses in order to estimate any potential impairment risk associated with a reasonably possible change in one of the significant assumptions used in the valuation. Our procedures did not lead to any reservations relating to the recognition and recover- ability of the capitalized development costs. Reference to related disclosures The Company’s disclosures regarding the relevant accounting principles for the recog - nition and measurement of development costs are contained in sections “4. Estimates and management’s judgment” and “16. Intangible assets” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Completeness and measurement of provisions for warranty obligations Reasons why the matter was determined to be a key audit matter Obligations for warranty claims are calculated on the basis of estimated warranty costs and remediation expenditure. Where unusual individual technical risks are anticipated, an individual assessment is made whether and, if so, to what extent measures are required to remediate them and provisions need to be recognized. In light of the amount of the provisions and the judgment exercised during valuation, the completeness and measurement of provisions for warranty obligations was a key audit matter. Auditor’s response With regard to the accounting for the provisions for warranty obligations, we examined the underlying processes for recording previous claims, calculating and valuing the estimated future warranty costs and recognizing the provisions, and tested controls in some areas. In light of the uncertainty in relation to the estimated future warranty costs, we assessed the underlying valuation assumptions, especially the expected claim rate per vehicle and the cost thereof, using analyses of historical data. Where there was a lack of past experience, we obtained an understanding of the assumptions made by the executive directors and tested their plausibility using historical data for comparable items. Using the calculation bases derived from these historical data, we checked the estimated costs for expected claims per vehicle. To assess the completeness of the provisions, we also reconciled the number of sold vehicles used to recognize the provision with the sales volumes. We obtained an understanding of the method used for calculating the provi - sions, including the discounting, and reperformed the calculations. For significant individual technical risks, we assessed the expected incidence of technical faults and the calculation of expected costs per claim/vehicle using documentation on previous claims, inspecting resolutions passed by technical committees and holding discussions with the departments responsible. Our audit procedures did not lead to any reservations relating to the completeness and valuation of provisions for warranty obligations. 218 Further InformationConsolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementCombined Management Report Responsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports To Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 219 =====
