  • LATAM improved to break-even despite continued difficult market  conditions
  • Strong sequential improvement in Maserati Adjusted EBIT margin from 3.1% in Q1 2016 to 6.2%

  • Net financial expenses down €128 million to €491 million driven by gross debt reduction and refinancing at lower rates
  • Tax expense down €102 million to €248 million primarily due to tax effect of charges related to Takata airbag inflator recalls






NET INDUSTRIAL DEBT


2016 GUIDANCE

  • Net revenues raised to > €112 billion from > €110 billion

Further improvement in margin to 7.9%. U.S. market share up 30 bps (*) and continued as market leader in Canada

  • Shipments slightly lower than Q2 2015 primarily due to reduced compact and mid-size sedan volumes: U.S. -7 thousand units (-1%), Mexico -4 thousand units (-17%), Canada flat
  • Net revenues increase due to improved truck and SUV model mix and positive net pricing actions, partially offset by FX impacts
  • Adjusted EBIT increase primarily due to positive model mix and purchasing efficiencies, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs and product costs for content enhancements
  • Adjusted EBIT excludes total charges of €519 million composed of:
    • €414 million primarily due to an expansion of the scope of the Takata airbag inflator recalls announced in May 2016
    • €105 million for incremental costs related to the implementation of the Group's plan to realign existing capacity to better meet market demand for pickup trucks and SUVs

Remained market leader in Brazil, with market share of 17.8%


  • Decrease in shipments reflects poor market conditions in Brazil due to continued macroeconomic weakness: Brazil -29 thousand units (-25%), Argentina +1 thousand units (+8%)
  • Net revenues decrease primarily due to lower shipments and unfavorable FX impacts, partially offset by favorable vehicle mix, mainly due to the all-new Fiat Toro from Pernambuco plant
  • Adjusted EBIT increase primarily as a result of favorable vehicle mix, lower industrial costs mainly due to non-repeat of launch costs in prior period, and lower selling, general and administrative costs due to continued cost reduction initiatives to rightsize to market volume, partially offset by lower shipments and input cost inflation
  • Adjusted EBIT excludes €40 million of restructuring costs for workforce reductions to align to current market conditions in Brazil

  • Net revenues decrease primarily as a result of lower shipments, partially offset by favorable vehicle mix
  • Adjusted EBIT decreased with lower shipments partially offset by favorable vehicle mix, lower industrial costs due to localization of Jeep production, lower direct marketing costs now incurred by China JV, and improved results from China JV
