Full: Statement by Dr. Norbert Reithofer, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Conference Call Interim Report to 30 September 2010
Statement by Dr. Friedrich Eichiner, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Finance, Conference Call Interim Report to 30 September 2010
The Motorcycles Segment performed exceptionally well in a difficult market environment. We delivered around 24,500 BMW motorcycles to customers in the third quarter. Against the overall market trend, we increased sales by almost 8% from the same period last year.
In Europe alone, we increased sales by 18% in the first nine months of 2010. We are now the market leader in the key motorcycle markets of Germany, Italy and Spain in our relevant segment above 500 cc – as well as in Belgium, the Netherlands and Austria.
Between January and September we generated revenues of nearly 1.1 billion Euros in the Motorcycles Segment. The EBIT of 88 million Euros was 73% higher year-on-year.
Further details on our individual segments can be found in our quarterly report.
