The facts
Nine-month revenue was €233.4 billion, compared with €238.7 billion a year earlier. [1]
Special items totaled €8.7 billion, including a €6.4 billion noncash impairment of Porsche goodwill. Before special items, nine-month operating profit was €8.8 billion; that adjusted measure differs from the reported €0.1 billion result. [1]
The third-quarter operating loss was €5.86 billion, against a €1.3 billion loss a year earlier, Dow Jones reported. Quarterly revenue fell 6.3% to about €75.3 billion. [2]
Volkswagen maintained its full-year outlook of approximately €315 billion in revenue and a reported operating margin of up to 1%. Its assumptions include unchanged tariffs; the outlook excludes unquantified consequences of further Middle East escalation. [1]
