At SOA, unit sales of the Legacy and B9 Tribeca will see an increase of $420 million year-on-year due the new model effect. Operating income will increase by $21 million to $11 million and this will be derived from planned improvements in the sales mix, increases in incentives and advertising costs.
At SIA, effects of the B9 Tribeca will cause a projected increase in sales revenue of US$137 million. The operating loss will be widen by a further US$17 million year-on-year to -US$74 million. This will be derived from fixed initial costs, labor costs, and fuel costs, though there will be improvements in sales mix with the introduction of the B9 Tribeca, further efforts in the reduction of costs.
The net loss will be decreased US$121 million to US$195 million due to extraordinary losses associated with the termination of leases for equipment due to the termination of consignment production. This extraordinary loss has been written off in the consolidation adjustment account for the fiscal year ended March 2005. |
