Porsche sells more than 88,000 vehiclesTurnover and revenue have increased again in fiscal year 2004/05

Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany, set new sales and turnover records during the past fiscal year 2004/05 (July 31). Speaking during the run-up to the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, Porsche CEO Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking declared: “Our profit has also risen for the eleventh year in succession – thanks to our consistent growth policy and ongoing efficiency increases. Details of earnings can only be issued after the figures have been approved by the Supervisory Board in November.”

According to provisional figures, Porsche Group turnover rose by 6.8 percent to approximately 6.56 billion Euros (corresponding figure for the previous year: 6.15 billion Euros). 2004/05 is the first fiscal year in which Porsche Group accounts have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards. Compared with the accounting procedures in accordance with the German Commercial Code, this had the effect of reducing turnover during the past fiscal year and, due to retrospective adjustment the preceding fiscal year as well. One of the main reasons for this is that in the case of specific leasing transactions, only earnings from interest and not the entire leasing charges are included in turnover.

Group sales increased by 15 percent to a total of 88,379 vehicles (previous year: 76,827 vehicles). This increase is due primarily to the extremely successful market launch of the new 911 and Boxster model generations. 27,826 cars in the 911 model line were sold, an increase of 17.4 percent compared with the previous year (23,704 cars).

Total sales of the Boxster model line were 18.009 units, an increase of 38.7 percent (previous year: 12,988 cars). Sales of the Cayenne, which has now been on the market for three years, rose again. 41,884 units of this sport utility vehicle were sold, a sales increase of 4.9 percent over the previous year’s figure of 39,913 units. Sales of the high-performance Carrera GT sports car went up strongly, with 660 units sold compared with 222 in the previous year.

Production totaled 90,954 vehicles, and thus went up by 11.6 percent over the previous year (81,531 units). A total of 28,619 units in the 911 model line were built, an increase of 7.4 percent. The corresponding figure for the previous year was 26,650 units. Output of the Boxster model line rose to 20,321 units, compared with 13,462 units the year before (51 percent more). Of this figure, 15,892 cars were built in Finland (previous year: 8,862). A total of 41,299 Cayennes and 715 Carrera GT high-performance sports cars were built at the Leipzig plant.

Despite imponderabilities in the global economic situation, Porsche is confident about the current 2005/06 fiscal year. There is strong demand for all three model lines. From October on, four new all-wheel-drive variants of the 911 Carrera will reach the market, continuing the generation change in the 911 model line. Developed on the basis of the Boxster, the Cayman S, a two-seater mid-engined coupe, will follow in November. With this new model, Porsche not only fills the existing gap between the Boxster S and the 911 Carrera coupe, but will also achieve a lasting degree of expansion of its customer base in the classic sports car segment. In view of the extended breadth and appeal of its product program, the company anticipates renewed growth in the current fiscal year.

Porsche Up Once AgainSales of Sports Premium Cars up Almost Ten Per Cent

Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, has exceeded its expectations in the 2005/2006 year of business, which ended on July 31. As the company stated on the eve of the Paris Motor Show, Porsche has reached new record levels in revenue, sales, and profits. According to provisional figures, revenue of the Porsche Group was up 10.6 per cent to approximately Euro 7.27 billion (previous year: Euro 6.57 billion). Profits increased overproportionally versus revenue growth. This is attributable to special effects such as the sale of the car roof production company CTS Fahrzeug-Dachsysteme GmbH as well as effects resulting from the company’s share in Volkswagen. Profits continued to increase even without these special factors.

Group sales were up 9.5 per cent to a total of 96,794 cars (previous year: 88,379 units). This growth was driven in particular by Porsche’s new sports cars, the 911 accelerating by 23.6 per cent to 34,386 units; never before have so many 911s been sold in one year of business. With sales of the two most powerful models, the 911 Turbo and 911 GT3, starting in June 2006, the new generation of this model series so rich in tradition has now been introduced almost completely in markets the world over. Starting in November, the new 911 Targa will also be at the dealership.

Up by 55 per cent, the increase in Boxster sales was even more significant. Out of the record figure of 27,906 units, 14,002 of the cars sold were new Cayman models. The market launch of the more powerful Cayman S had started in November 2005, the “basic“ version of the Cayman following just before the end of the last business year in July 2006.Sales of the Cayenne amounting to 34,134 units (previous year: 41,884 units) reached the same high level as the 911 even though the Cayenne was already in its fourth model year and Porsche as a company consistently maintains its policy not to grant any discounts on its SUV. Sales of the Carrera GT ending production as planned in May 2006 amounted to 368 units in the business year now under report (previous year: 660 units).

Total production was 102,602 units, 12.8 per cent more than in the previous year (90,954 units). Production of the 911 in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen amounted to 36,504 cars, an increase over the previous year by 27.6 per cent. The Boxster model series assembled almost entirely in Finland due to great demand for both the 911 and the Boxster and Cayman models, reached an overall production volume of 30,680 units, an increase by 51 per cent. In Leipzig production of the Cayenne model series amounted to 35,128 units (down by 14.9 per cent) as well as 290 units of the Carrera GT (previous year: 715 units). This makes the Carrera GT the most successful high-performance sports car of all times, amounting to a total production figure of 1,282 units.

Despite all economic imponderables, Porsche is confident that in the current 2006/2007 year of business sales will at least achieve the exceptionally high level of the business year now over. This expectation is also attributable to the company’s further enhanced and even more attractive model range, as well as the ongoing penetration of new markets. Particularly in rapidly growing markets such as Russia, China, and the Middle East, Porsche cars are in increasing demand. Porsche expects the next major boost in growth as of 2009, when the four-door Panamera sports coupé is launched.

Thanks Eric:

I was wondering how many '05 Turbo S Cabs were produced. I'm not sure the specific information is available.
