JV with Avantium intended for production of furandicarboxylicacid (FDCA) in Belgium

Update of peak sales potential for product launches in Agricultural Solutions

Joint operation of polyoxymethylene (POM)with Kolon Plastics planned in Korea


150 years

Outlook 2016 Sales will be considerably below prior year, due to the divestiture of the natural gas trading

and storage activities and the lower oil and gas prices. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and divestitures, we expect higher volumes in all segments. We expect EBIT before special items to be slightly below the previous year driven by

drastically lower earnings of Oil & Gas. We plan higher earnings in our chemicals business and in the Agricultural Solutions segment. EBIT after cost of capital is expected to be significantly below prior year. However, we still

expect to earn a premium on our cost of capital.

Assumptions 2016 GDP growth: +2.3% Growth in industrial production: +2.0% Growth in chemical production (excl. pharma): +3.4% Exchange rate: $1.10 per euro Oil price (Brent): $40 per barrel

Outlook 2016 confirmed

BASF Group 6,739 slight decrease

Outlook 2016 Forecast by segment

With respect to EBIT before special items, slight means a change of 1-10%, while considerable is used for changes greater than 11%. At prior-year level indicates no change (+/-0%).

Priorities 2016

Focus on capex discipline:

Reduce capital expenditures to 4.2 billion in 2016 Cost control and operational excellence:

DrivE targeting ~1 billion annual earnings contributionfrom end of 2018 on

Portfolio optimization ongoing:

E.g. agreement to sell industrial coatings business to AkzoNobel Strong commitment to innovation:

Maintain R&D spending at ~1.95 billion in 2016
