Porsche reported a 7.5 percent drop in revenue in the third quarter to €8.05 billion, but returned to an operating profit of €387 million after a loss of €966 million a year earlier. The operating margin was 4.8 percent, within the expected range, though analysts’ expectations for revenue and operating profit were missed. CEO Michael Leiters confirmed the full-year outlook; deliveries fell 16 percent in the first nine months to 178,532 vehicles. Porsche plans to raise the margin to 10–15 percent over the next five years, relying on cost savings, more luxury models, higher prices and a 25 percent reduction in staff, and expects the breakeven point to be well below 200,000 vehicles per year. » More on spiegel.de
