BMW on Tuesday upgraded its full-year outlook, citing a solid
first half and good momentum, but reported a lower pretax earnings
margin in the first half.
The German high-end car company said its group pretax earnings
margin was 12.6% in the first half of the year compared with 24.5%
in the first half of last year. Pretax earnings for the second
quarter was stable at 11.3%, BMW said.
The company's automotive segment reported an earnings before
interest and taxes margin of 9.2% in the second quarter, compared
with 8.2% a year ago.
BMW said that in its automotive segment, the EBIT margin for
2023 is now expected to be between 9% and 10.5% compared with the
previous target of 8% to 10%. Automotive deliveries are now
expected to see "solid growth" over the prior year compared with a
previous outlook of "slight growth," BMW said. The company
delivered 1.2 million units in the first half, it said.
Free cash flow for the automotive business is now anticipated to
be more than 6 billion euros ($6.60 billion) for the full year.
BMW flagged higher expenses for suppliers as a headwind. It will
report its full first-half results on Thursday.
