Executive vice president and chief financial officer Alan Dawes told the group that higher than expected non-GM sales growth and a “slightly positive impact from foreign exchange” is expected to raise revenue in the second quarter above previous expectations.
Higher volumes and cost-reduction initiatives have prompted Delphi to raise its earnings outlook for the second quarter of 2002.
Delphi’s revised second quarter outlook includes: revenue of $7.2-7.3 billion (up from $7.1 billion); net income in the $210-220 million range (up from circa-$200 million); and operating cashflow increased to the “high end” of the $250-350 million range.
The revised full year outlook includes: operating cash flow for the year between $950 million – $1 billion (increased from $800 million) and year-end 2002 debt level at $3.4 billion – unchanged from year-end 2001 levels.
