Bmw’s Pretax Profit to Ascend This Year
The Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW) announced last Wednesday that its pretax profit this year was set to rise above the 4.12 billion euros it posted in 2006 on the sentiment that its car sales would also rise.
Norbert Reithofer, the chief executive of BMW, said the company planned “to beat the record pretax profit achieved in 2006.” Last week, the automaker reported a 26 percent increase in 2006 pretax profit - from 3.29 billion euros ($4.35 billion) in 2005 to 4.12 billion euros ($5.45 billion) in 2006.
BMW also reported 28 percent increase in net profit to 2.87 billion euros ($3.79 billion). The profit boost was attributed to the one-time gain from the sale of a stake in Rolls-Royce PLC, the British aircraft engine maker.
