Chrysler Group Second-Quarter 2012 Net Income Increased to $436 Million

2012-chrysler-300c-2

Chrysler Group LLC today reported its preliminary second-quarter financial results, including net income of $436 million, an $806 million improvement from the $370 million net loss in the same quarter last year, which had included a $551 million charge related to repayment of its government loans. Excluding the charge, net income increased $255 million, or 141 percent, period over period, as the Company continues to achieve its business targets and improve sales across all brands.

“Our results reflect a tireless pursuit by the people of Chrysler Group to deliver the very best quality and value across our brands,” said Sergio Marchionne, Chrysler Group LLC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Together, we are always striving to achieve more, to learn from the past and build upon our successes. Nowhere is our dedication more evident than in the all-new Dodge Dart, with up to 41 mpg highway and levels of customization not typically found in the compact car segment.”

Revenue for the quarter was $16.8 billion, up 23 percent from $13.7 billion in the second quarter of 2011, primarily driven by a 22 percent period-over-period increase in shipments. For the first six months, the Company recorded net income of $909 million on revenue of $33.2 billion.

The Company recorded a Modified Operating Profit of $755 million, or 4.5 percent of revenue, in the second quarter, up 49 percent from the $507 million reported in the prior year. The increase was attributable to strong volume and pricing, partially offset by unfavorable mix as we increased sales of cars versus trucks and SUVs, enhanced vehicle content and increased research-and-development spending for new models. Modified Operating Profit for the first half of the year was $1.5 billion.

Navigate Your World – 2012 Jeep® Compass

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

North. South. East. West. The idea of navigation is a core component of American history. The compass rose displaying the orientation of the four cardinal directions was the original GPS, before our modern-day navigation systems, leading to discovery and expansion of our country from sea to shining sea. But our means of navigating and exploring have changed. The Jeep brand and its line of capable vehicles have evolved, too.  Consider the 2012 Jeep Compass a perfect example of that evolution.

Stylish value and courageous capability aren’t often mentioned in the same sentence, and yet the Jeep Compass encompasses both of those traits. Taking design cues from its sibling, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Compass has the iconic seven-slot grille with chrome surround. Elsewhere, a diverse array of standard and available wheels adds to the look while its steering and suspension system offers exceptional ride – even in less-than-ideal weather conditions.

2012_jeep_compass

Looks and performance don’t matter much if you can’t keep driving, which is why the 2012 Jeep Compass 4×2 offers an EPA estimated 29 MPG HWY, and the 4×4 version comes in just behind at an EPA estimated 28 MPG HWY. In other words, this is like one of those well-built, handcrafted compasses your father or grandfather might have handed down to you – steady and ready to keep you going for longer.

Standard interior refinements like air conditioning, remote keyless and illuminated entry, and power windows, mirrors, and locks ensure that driving in the most challenging conditions can feel comfortable. And how, exactly, does the Jeep Compass take on those rough surfaces and that tough weather? With the available Freedom Drive I™ full-time, active 4WD system with lock mode. And for advanced Go Anywhere, Do Anything® capability, you can equip your 2012 Jeep Compass with the Trail Rated® Freedom Drive II® Off-Road Group.

Technological evolution means that you don’t have to rely on your analog compass anymore, of course. An available Media Center 430N radio with Navigation by Garmin® and available Uconnect® Voice Command is available just in case the four cardinal directions aren’t enough to show you to your nearest restaurant, gas station, or trailhead.

2012 Jeep Wrangler Freedom Edition Puts Premium on Patriotism

Jeep
The 2012 Jeep Wrangler Freedom edition has debuted in time for the Fourth of July festivities, with a $6,120 price premium over the base 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport. The patriotic Wrangler is on sale now.

The 2012 Jeep Wrangler Freedom edition starts at $29,090 for the two-door model and $31,595 for the Wrangler Unlimited four-door version. Pricing includes a $925 destination charge.

The Wrangler Freedom edition is based on the 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport, which starts at $22,970, including shipping.

The most expensive 2012 Wrangler remains the 2012 Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty MW3 edition, which starts at $37,805, including shipping.

Chrysler is billing the Wrangler Freedom edition as "a tribute to U.S. military members past and present." It comes in red, white or blue (the True Blue paint is exclusive to the Freedom Edition) and features a military-inspired decal on the hood and rear quarter panels, as well as an "Oscar Mike" fender badge. Chrysler said in a statement that "Oscar Mike" is "military jargon for 'on the move.'"

The cabin gets black seats with an "Oscar Mike" logo in silver stitching. Other details include Satin Chrome spokes on the leather-wrapped steering wheel and Mopar Slush all-weather floor mats. Standard amenities include power windows and locks, keyless entry, and the UConnect voice command and connectivity group.

The Wrangler Freedom edition is equipped with a 285-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine. Chrysler said that $250 from each Wrangler Freedom edition sold will be donated to military charities.
