Michelin: Pre-price rise buying drives Q1 sales

,

A desire to purchase before price increases took effect on 1 April buoyed sales of Michelin tyres during the first quarter of 2017. Increased sales volumes accounted for 7.3 per cent of the 9.9 per cent year-on-year rise in net sales during the period. Net sales amounted to €5.57 billion in the first three months of the year. While Michelin hasn’t published its operating result or margins for the quarter, it expressed a hope that margins will improve in the second half of the year.

2016 financial results: Toyo Tire & Rubber

Toyo Tire & Rubber has reported a year-on-year decline in net sales, operating income and ordinary income for the 2016, and remained in the red for another year. Even though the company projected in November 2016 the expectation of profit of 12 billion yen, issues with certain non-tyre products led to an extraordinary loss recorded in the closing of accounts for the year, turning the projected profit into a loss of 12.26 billion yen (£86.1 million).

The tyre maker’s deconsolidation of its subsidiary in that country drove down both sales and unit volumes for the year, however the measure had a more favourable impact upon Goodyear’s bottom line.

Pirelli income significantly down in first 9 months of year

Pirelli was unable to match last year’s sales and, particularly, income during the first nine months of 2016. The Italian tyre maker’s net sales declined 3.8 per cent year-on-year to €4.53 billion euros, a decline almost entirely the product of the deconsolidation of its business in Venezuela; excluding this factor, turnover declined just 0.1 per cent. Turnover for the Consumer business increased 4.8 per cent to €3.78 billion, and the proportion of this from premium products increased from 62.2 per cent last year to 64.6 per cent. Turnover within Pirelli’s Industrial business declined 19.0 per cent year-on-year to €764.9 million.

Profit attributable to owners of the parent declined 53.5 per cent year-on-year to 8.5 billion yen (£63.0 million).
