DaimlerChrysler today published its preliminary Group and divisional results for the year 2006 today, reporting an operating profit of $7,170 (€5,517) million in 2006, compared with $6738 (€5,185) million in 2005.
The Group’s operating profit was significantly impacted by the severe decline in earnings at the Chrysler Group. Fortunately, this was more than offset by the substantial earnings improvement at the Mercedes Car Group and the repeated increase in earnings at the Truck Group and the Financial Services division.
Net income increased by 519.88 million to $4.16 billion (2005: $3.6 billion).
