Half Year Results Of Bridgestone

Turnover rose by 3.7 per cent, but the group announced a loss for the first half year of 280 million Euro. This is the result of the fatal recall and all the other costs from Bridgestone Firestone in the USA.

Despite all the bad news, the management was confident that it would show a profit at the end of this year of around 80 million Euro. In the US, the group is not expecting to show a profit before the second half next year..
