VW fall into loss by emissions scandal. • The car maker was expected to report a loss after setting aside €6.5bn to cover charges.
V
olkswagen fell to a loss in the third quarter of the year after setting aside billions of euros to cover costs relating to the diesel emissions scandal. The troubled car maker held back €6.7bn in September after it emerged it had installed software in 11 million diesel vehicles that enabled them to cheat emissions tests. The charge meant that VW recorded a pre-tax loss of €2.5bn
in the third quarter of the year its first quarterly loss in 15 years. Before one-off costs, the company made an operating profit of €3.2bn. Sales rose 5.3pc to €51.5bn. The emissions cheating scandal broke on September 23, shortly before the end of VW’s third quarter, so the impact on sales was expected to be limited. Volkswagen sold 2.4 million vehicles in the quarter, down 3.7pc on a year ago pushing it further behind Toyota in the race to be the world’s
biggest auto maker. It gave up the top spot to its Japanese rival earlier this week, when Toyota reported it had sold 7.49 million vehicles in the first nine months of the year, versus 7.43 million sold by VW. Shares in VW rose 4pc on the results, which were better than many analysts had expected. Less than 12pc of the company is traded on the stock market, as 51pc of the VW is owned by Porsche Automobile Holdings. Continued on page 5
