GM loses $1.1bn as car sales slow
中新網4月20日電全球最大的汽車制造商通用汽車放棄了今年的盈利預期。通用19日公布的財報顯示,公司今年第一季度凈虧損11億美元,為1992年瀕臨破產邊緣以來的最差表現。  

GM loses $1.1bn as car sales slow

GM marques such as Cadillac are losing ground to foreign rivals

Flagging sales and the rising cost of employee healthcare pushed General Motors to a net loss of $1.1bn (£576m) in the first three months of 2005.

The world's biggest carmaker warned in March it would drive deep into the red, but the loss - the worst since 1992 - is at the top end of its prediction.

In the same period last year, GM made a profit of $1.2bn.

The headline figure includes several one-off costs such as 12,000 layoffs in GM's operations in Europe.

Its Opel and Saab units are having trouble turning a profit, while extricating itself from a deal which could have forced it to buy Fiat is also hurting the company.

Ahead of Wall Street's opening, pre-market trade marked GM shares down 2.1% to $25.65. Arch-rival Ford is to report results on Wednesday, which are also expected to disappoint.

The North American market - the world's biggest - is the source of GM's biggest problems.

With GM's Buick, Cadillac and Chevrolet cars losing out to foreign brands, chief executive Rick Wagoner took personal charge of daily operations there earlier this month.

Sky-high oil prices are also causing the firm problems, and some analysts believe the US's long infatuation with gas-guzzling sports utility vehicles may be running out of steam.

In addition, the firm had to recall almost 200,000 vehicles in the US in February because of a potential problem with the brake system, while a government watchdog is investigating reports of tailgates falling off GM pickup trucks.

Losses in Europe were offset by $60m in profits from Asia as market share in Japan and China grew - although cut-throat competition and thinning margins meant profits in Asia were down more than 75%.

"While most of our business units exceeded expectations, the results at GM North America were clearly disappointing," Mr Wagoner said.

But he promised investors "well thought-out plans" to deal with the problems, including "aggressive" new model introductions and marketing.

He also promised to tackle the company's huge healthcare costs - although so far negotiations with unions have failed to produce the results the firm wants.
