Volkswagen Group is trumpeting a “successful start to 2012” after first quarter operating profit rose 10.2% to EUR3.2bn on sales revenue up 26.3% to EUR47.3bn.

Operating return on sales fell to 6.8% from 7.8% due to “negative effects from the charges relating to the purchase price allocation for MAN and Porsche Holding Salzburg”.
Profit after tax improved 86.1% to EUR3.2bn.
