The
world's seventh-largest carmaker said adjusted operating profit
for the January-March period rose to 1.38 billion euros ($1.56
billion) from 700 million the previous year and compared with an
analyst consensus of 1.17 billion euros in a Thomson Reuters
poll.
Sales rose 3 percent to 26.57 billion euros, below expectations.
FCA, which spun off luxury unit Ferrari at the start of this
year, said net industrial debt rose to 6.6 billion euros at the
end of March from 5.05 billion euros three months earlier,
impacted by seasonality and currency effects.
