Motorcycles segment exceeds sales volume of 80,000 units for the first time in the first half of a year � sales guidance raised
The Motorcycles segment continues to perform well. At 46,966 units, second-quarter sales of BMW motorcycles and maxi-scooters worldwide remained at the previous year�s high level (47,048 units; -0.2%). Segment revenues totalled � 617 million in the second quarter, similar to one year earlier (2015: � 622 million; - 0.8%). Earnings, however, were down on the previous year, due to starting a number of projects which support the implementation of the Motorcycles segment�s new strategy. EBIT amounted to � 98 million (2015: � 112 million; -12.5%), while profit before tax finished at � 97 million (2015: � 112 million; -13.4%).
For the first time in the first half of a year, more than 80,000 motorcycles and maxi-scooters were delivered to customers during the first half of 2016. Sales volume during the period from January to June increased by 3.0% to 80,754 units (2015: 78,418 units) � the fourth successive record figure for the first half of a year. At � 1,199 million, segment revenues were at a similar level to the previous year (2015: � 1,189 million: +0.8%). EBIT amounted to � 192 million (2015: � 227 million; -15.4%), while profit before tax finished at � 191 million (2015: � 226 million; -15.5%). The Motorcycles segment�s sales volume performance is expected to improve further during the second half of the year thanks to its attractive and young model range. For the full year, a solid (previously: slight) increase in retail sales is expected.
