Third and fourth largest markets affected...I don't know, I think this hurt them. Especially since business in Germany increased by 13% (2018 vs 2017), the strongest increase of all markets. 

We'll see when the new numbers are out. Porsche increased deliveries in the first nine months of 2018 by 6% but I kind of have the feeling that the remaining 3 months gave them a blow, so it might be 0% increase in total for 2018. Just a wild guess though...

WLTP certification affected the whole EU market, not only Germany and the UK and the EU market is bigger for Porsche than the US market (Porsche delivered in 2018 14000 more cars to the EU market than to the US).
