Audi pledges continued profit

Volkswagen’s premium brand Audi is predicting operating profit in relation to revenue will remain at its current record level this year and it is also targeting a new all-time high in sales volume.

Chief Executive Rupert Stadler said: “We want to deliver more than 1.2 million Audi cars to customers worldwide during the current year.”

Operating profit for last year was up four percent at 3.34 billion euros.

But the CEO also had a warning for the future: “Nonetheless, we have to remain alert, since the unpredictability of the financial and raw materials markets still carry a risk.”
