PSA/Peugeot-Citroen sees negative second-half Japan impact

PSA/Peugeot-Citroen warned its automobile division's 2011 profitability would be hit by raw material costs and the impact of the Japan disaster, but said it would still beat last year's results.

According to KHABAR KHODRO, PSA on Wednesday posted a 9.7 percent rise in first-half revenues to 31.1 billion euros ($45.01 billion), helped by market share gains outside Europe.

PSA said it expected the European market to remain stable for the full year. It lowered its forecast for growth in China to around 7 percent, from a previous forecast of 10 percent growth.

The automaker boosted its forecast for the Latin American market to about 6 percent growth from 4 percent and said the Russian market would increase about 30 percent compared with a previous 15 percent forecast.

New-car sales in the EU, PSA's main market, suffered their biggest drop in eight months in June as economic uncertainty made consumers wary and some markets suffered from the withdrawal of state-sponsored scrappage schemes.

PSA warned its automobile division's recurring operating income would take a 300 million euro hit in the second half from the impact of the Japan earthquake and tsunami in March as well as from a rise in raw material prices.

In the first half, the automobile division's recurring operating income slipped to 405 million euros from 525 million euros in the year-earlier period. Excluding the impact of Japan it reached 552 million euros, the company said.

Frederic Saint-Geours, head of finance and strategy, told a conference call he expected an end to any impact from Japan on the group in the autumn.

"On Japan, we have had negative effects, and we continue to have negative effects, because a certain number of components is lacking, which forces us to modify our product offering and so have a slightly more complicated dialogue with our customers," he said.

Group recurring operating profit would still be higher than last year's level for the year as a whole, but the group's long-term productivity improvement plan, unveiled in November 2009, would only partially offset the negative impact, PSA said.

Group recurring operating income rose 1.8 percent to 1.157 billion euros, including a 147 million impact from Japan
