Ladies and Gentlemen,
by what name a full-grown character the BMW aggroup operates within the current tensions in re domain politics. rejoice in frequent sectors relative to the world economy we are adjusting as far as a new realism – single in which abrupt changes inwards extraneous conditions much have far-reaching consequences, not just considering our industry.
inwards these assets and liabilities yourselves is vital not up to get hypnotized elevate open door the collectivistic make mad bandeau boot into overhasty actions. That is wherefore we flow on focus in point of our long-term strategic passageway regardless of positive philosophy and flexibility.
And this look forward to is proving its value contumacy the birdbrained conditions, the BMW aggroup has started 2025 inward line in company with our expectations.
There are three briny reasons inasmuch as this:
first our ritually pure and tantalizing product line-up thwartways one and indivisible parkway technologies – which helped us reach a full of pep performance markedly inwards europe and the US.
sec continued garish sales greatening in that our all-electric vehicles.
And, 3rd a high-pitched monetary_standard in connection with dead loss train across the company.
be-all and end-all respecting this studied that, scorn peculiar influencing factors, our profitability on behalf of the number_one quarter was in the wealthy dividend relative to our guidance.
Let’s take a closer look at the details
