For comparison, in 2022, Audi reported a profit of \u20ac4.4 billion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"422\" data-end=\"667\">Analysts cite the main reasons for the decline as high U.S. tariffs, falling sales in China, and the costly restructuring of the group. The premium brands within the group, Bentley and Lamborghini, have suffered the most.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"669\" data-end=\"886\">Audi, which is part of the Volkswagen Group, has been forced to revise its annual revenue forecast to between \u20ac65\u201370 billion. The company\u2019s only hope is a potential EU\u2013U.S. agreement to reduce tariffs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"1124\">Audi\u2019s CFO, J\u00fcrgen Rittersberger, stated that the additional U.S. tariffs alone cost the company \u20ac600 million. Unlike BMW, Audi does not have a manufacturing plant in the U.S., so all the expenses fell directly on the group.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1126\" data-end=\"1268\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Additionally, the restructuring in Germany, which includes laying off 7,500 employees, also cost the company another \u20ac600 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":150006,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[31529,31527,31528],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-150005","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti","newstag-companynewsbusinessnewscorporateupdatesleadershipchangesmergersandacquisitionsmarketmovements","newstag-novynykompanijbiznesnovynyrynkytransformacziyabiznesu","newstag-novostykompanyjbyznesnovostykorporatyvnenovostysmenarukovodstvaslyyanyyaypogloshhenyyarnkyykompanyy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/150005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=150005"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=150005"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=150005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
