Outlook 2016 for BASF Group confirmed

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. We expect EBIT before special items to be slightly below the previous year level due to

significantly lower earnings in Oil & Gas.

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
