Automaker Daimler Sees Q2 Earnings Sag on Weak Pricing

Thursday, 26 July 2018 02:38 AM EDT

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — German automaker Daimler AG says its net profit fell 27 percent in the second quarter to 1.8 billion euros, from 2.5 billion euros a year earlier.

The Stuttgart-based maker of Mercedes-Benz cars said Thursday weak pricing for its luxury cars including tariffs played a role. It also cited a fire at a U.S. supplier that caused a production shortfall, as well as unfavorable exchange rates and expenses for post-sale adjustment of diesel car emissions.

Earnings at the truck division were flat.

The company had already lowered its earnings outlook for the year, citing global trade tensions.
