Net revenue totaled $15.5 billion, or 18% higher than the $13.1 billion in the third quarter of 2012. Chrysler is majority-owned by Italy’s Fiat SpA.
Chrysler’s CEO said:
We continue to work feverishly and are pleased to see that our all-consuming aspiration for excellence is translating into results. We are confirming guidance for the year, and expect Free Cash Flow to be well in excess of $1 billion.
