"While we are pleased to have achieved strong financial results in 2012, the enterprise we are crafting is not complete," said Sergio Marchionne, Chrysler Group LLC Chairman and CEO. "The goals we've set for the year ahead reflect a common desire by everyone from leadership to the shop floor to succeed and sustain the power of the house we are building. Our aim is meaningful, but it is not complicated, and only a preoccupation with quality can achieve it. We pause for a moment to enjoy our accomplishments, but we will not stop. Our continued achievement relies upon maintaining a humble spirit and an intense focus on the integrity of our work. And so we press on."
For the fourth quarter, net income was $378-million on revenue of $17.2-billion, up 68 per cent from $225-million a year earlier. For the year, the company reported revenue of $65.8-billion, an increase of 20 per cent from a year ago, primarily due to higher vehicle shipments.
Modified Operating Profit was $2.9-billion for the year, or 4.4 per cent of revenue, up 47 per cent from $2-billion reported in the prior year. The increase resulted from continuing strong sales and pricing, partially offset by an increase in the proportion of sales from passenger cars, including the Dodge Dart and Fiat 500, versus trucks and SUVs; increase research-and-development costs for future models; and increased spending on advertising. Modified Operating Profit for the quarter was $711-million, a 40 per cent increase from the same period last year.
Modified EBITDA(c) was $5.5-billion for the year, or 8.3 per cent of net revenue, an increase of 15 per cent from the prior year. For the fourth quarter, Modified EBITDA was $1.3-billion.
