For the full year, Chrysler posted adjusted net income of $1.8 billion on revenues of $72.1 billion, compared with net income of $1.6 billion on revenues of $65.7 billion. That was its best performance since exiting bankruptcy in 2009.
For the year, worldwide vehicle sales totaled 2.4 million, up 9% from a year ago. That gain was due largely to a 14% increase in U.S. retail sales. However, U.S. fleet sales as a percentage of total U.S. sales fell from 26% in 2012 to 22% in 2013. Sales in the fourth-quarter rose 11% from a year ago to 592,000 vehicles.
Worldwide vehicle shipments came to 2.6 million for the year, up from 2.4 million a year ago. For the fourth quarter, worldwide vehicle shipments totaled 736,000 vehicles, or 20% more than in the same period last year.
U.S. market share was 11.4% for the year, an 11.2% gain from a year ago.
Chrysler set the following targets for 2014:
- Worldwide vehicle shipments of ~2.8 million
- Net revenue of ~$80 billion
- Modified Operating Profit of $3.7-$4.0 billion
- Net income of $2.3-$2.5 billion
- Free Cash Flow of $0.5-$1.0 billion
