BMW posts 2Q EBIT loss as pandemic hits car sales


BMW reiterated that it expected pretax profit to be significantly below 2019 levels and for car deliveries to customers to fall significantly this year.

FRANKFURT: BMW said it expected an operating profit for the full year even as Covid-19 coronavirus lockdowns pushed the carmaker to a second-quarter operating loss as deliveries of luxury cars fell 25% during the period.

The Munich-based carmaker said it swung to a 666 million euros ($786 million) loss before interest and taxes in the quarter ending June, down from a 2.2 billion euros operating profit a year earlier.
