|
Ingolstadt, 10 March, 2015 (APA/OTS) - Audi Group 2014: revenue
of over 50 billion, operating profit above 5 billion, operating
return on sales of 9.6 percent - High level of financial strength
demonstrated by net cash flow of 3 billion and profit before tax of
approximately 6 billion - Audi CEO Rupert Stadler: "After a very
positive start to this year, we aim to achieve a new record for unit
sales in 2015" - CFO Axel Strotbek: "Operating return on sales
reached the upper end of the strategic target corridor despite high
advance expenditure" |
With a new record for deliveries of more than 1.74 million
automobiles, Audi for the first time increased its revenue to more
than 53 billion in 2014. Operating profit amounted to 5.15 billion
and the operating return on sales of 9.6 percent was at the upper
end of the strategic target corridor of eight to ten percent. After
taking increased financial income into consideration, profit before
tax increased to approximately 6 billion. The return on sales
before tax was 11.1 percent. The brand with the Four Rings will
invest more than 24 billion in new products and technologies by
2019, and is continually expanding its global production network.
Worldwide, the Audi Group plans to recruit more than 6,000 new
employees in 2015. The company intends to deliver more premium cars
than in the previous year once again in 2015.
At the Annual Press Conference on Tuesday, Board of Management
Chairman Rupert Stadler stated, "We delivered more in 2014 than
promised. After a very positive start to this year, we aim to
achieve a new record for unit sales in 2015." This year, the company
will start the next stage of its model initiative with the new Audi
Q7*, the new Audi R8* and the new Audi A4* family.
Audi delivered a convincing performance in 2014 despite a
heterogeneous market environment, and increased its unit sales in
all regions. The Ingolstadt company set new records for unit sales
in a total of 50 countries. Worldwide, it sold 1,741,129 automobiles
of the Audi brand to its customers (2013: 1,575,480), representing
an increase of 10.5 percent (2013: 8.3 percent). The Audi Group
increased its revenue to 53,787 million (2013: 49,880 million):
growth of 7.8 percent compared with the previous year.
Despite high advance expenditure for the expansion of international
production structures as well as for new models and technologies -
in particular to fulfill increasingly strict CO2 regulations around
the world - the Audi Group increased its operating profit by 2.4
percent to 5,150 million (2013: 5,030 million).
The Audi Group's selling expenses increased at a lower rate than
revenue: plus 5.5 percent to 4,895 million (2013: 4,641 million),
although the company delivered significantly more automobiles to its
customers.
Financial income of 841 million was significantly higher than in
2013 ( 293 million). It includes Audi's share of the operating
profit of the Chinese joint venture company FAW VW Automotive
Company, which is consolidated at equity. Overall, the Audi Group
increased its profit before tax by 12.5 percent to 5,991 million
(2013: 5,323 million). Return on sales before tax improved from
10.7 percent in 2013 to 11.1 percent last year.
Board of Management Member for Finance Axel Strotbek stated: "Our
key financials show that we are preparing systematically for the
future and nevertheless operating very profitably." Despite high
levels of advance expenditure, with 9.6 percent (2013: 10.1 percent)
the company achieved an operating return on sales at the upper end
of its strategic target corridor of eight to ten percent.
