Liquidity improved over the nine months and Porsche SEnow expects full year 2018 profit of EUR2.5bn and EUR3.5bn.

It had originally expected group profit between EUE3.4bn and EUR4.4bn but costs related to VW's 'diesel issue' plus emerging time lags regarding tax compensation claims against Volkswagen AG saw the forecast adjusted in October 2018.
