????歸功于新車型的發(fā)布和中國市場銷量再創(chuàng)紀錄，德國寶馬汽車公司（BMW）今年第二季度的利潤大幅提升。

????寶馬表示，公司的息稅前利潤比去年同期上漲26%，達到26億歐元；凈收入相應上漲至17.7億歐元；集團收入上漲1.8%，達到199.1億歐元。

????根據(jù)行業(yè)分析師們的密切觀察，寶馬公司運營利潤率為11.7%，要略高于奧迪（Audi）的10%和梅塞德斯-奔馳（Mercedes-Benz）的7.9%。

????在中國市場，寶馬的表現(xiàn)尤為搶眼。今年上半年，寶馬在中國市場的銷量上漲了23%，共賣出225,490臺汽車。同時在基本飽和的歐洲市場，其銷量也上漲了2.2%，另外它在美洲市場的銷量也上漲了3.5%。

????今年四、五、六月，寶馬品牌車輛的銷量創(chuàng)下了單季銷量記錄，比去年同期上漲了8.3個百分點。它最近在美國和日本發(fā)布的I3電動車成為推動銷量增長的一大助力。今年10月，I3也將在中國市場發(fā)售。

????關(guān)于寶馬旗下的其他品牌：勞斯萊斯（Rolls-Royce）的銷量比去年同期上漲了29%，Mini品牌則由于產(chǎn)品換代而下跌了10%。

????同時，本周二，豐田汽車公司（Toyota Motor Corp）稱，本季度凈利潤增長4.6%。由于日本于四月一日調(diào)高了國內(nèi)產(chǎn)品增值稅，導致豐田在本土市場上需求受挫，一定程度上抵消了它近來在北美和歐洲市場上的良好表現(xiàn)。

????但豐田仍然是全球最大的汽車制造商。豐田表示，其在北美的銷量上漲了7.3%，在歐洲的銷量上漲了9.2%，同時營業(yè)利潤上漲了4.4%。

????寶馬和豐田都維持了他們之前對全年的展望，不過寶馬也表示，這取決于地緣政治局勢不會繼續(xù)惡化。由于近來俄烏危機愈演愈烈，很多歐洲公司本季的財報收益都令人失望，因此大幅調(diào)低了對過去幾周的展望。

????一如既往地，豐田的展望仍然與日元的匯率波動緊密關(guān)聯(lián)。去年日本央行的經(jīng)濟刺激計劃使日元嚴重貶值，致使豐田出口利潤飆升。其影響超出了豐田的計算。

????周三，寶馬股價在法蘭克福早盤上漲2.6個百分點，豐田股價變化不大，稍稍跑贏下跌了1%的大盤。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

????German carmaker BMW AG posted a big jump in profits in the second quarter, helped by the roll-out of new models and record sales in China.

????The company said earnings before interest and tax rose 26% from a year ago to €2.60 billion, with net income growing roughly in line to €1.77 billion, on a 1.8% rise in group revenue to €19.91 billion.

????Its operating profit margin, closely watched by industry analysts, was as such a little higher at 11.7% than that of its luxury rivals Audi and Mercedes-Benz, with 10% and 7.9%, respectively.

????BMW did conspicuously well in China, where vehicle sales were up 23% in the first half of the year at 225,490. But it also posted a 2.2% rise in the generally flat European market, and a 3.5% increase in the Americas.

????Sales of BMW-branded cars hit a new quarterly record in the three months to June, up 8.3% from a year earlier, boosted for the first time by its I3 electric car, which was launched in the U.S. and Japan recently. It is due to go on sale in the crucial Chinese market in October.

????Among its other brands sales of Rolls-Royce limousines were up 29% from a year earlier, while sales of the Mini brand were down 10% due to a model change.

????Earlier Tuesday, Toyota Motor Corp. , said it ground out a 4.6% rise in net profit in the quarter, as a decent performance in North America and Europe was offset by weakness at home after an April 1 increase in value-added tax damped demand.

????The world’s largest automaker said sales had risen 7.3% in North America and 9.2% in Europe, while operating profit rose 4.4%

????Both companies maintained their previous outlooks for the full year, albeit BMW warned that this depended on no further deterioration in the geopolitical situation. A number of European companies have reported disappointing earnings and slashed their outlooks in the last couple of weeks due to the escalating tension with Russia over the Ukraine crisis.

????Toyota’s outlook remains, as ever, tied to the fluctuations of the yen. Last year’s action by the Bank of Japan to stimulate the economy had sharply weakened the currency, raising the yen-denominated value of its export profits. That effect is now passing out of the company’s calculations.

????BMW’s shares jumped 2.6% in early trading in Frankfurt, while Toyota’s were little changed, outperforming a general 1% decline in the broader market.
