During an earnings conference with analysts and journalists this morning, Daimler Chrysler CFO Bodo Uebber refused to rule out possibility of a sale or spinoff the struggling Chrysler group, according to trade publication Automotive News.
“We don’t exclude anything,” said Uebber in response to questions about splitting the companies. “We will do our analysis. Second, we will talk about measures. And third, we will draw our conclusions.” Pressed further about the possibility, Uebber said, “I don’t do any speculation.”
Daimler Chrysler was formed in 1998 when Daimler-Benz and the Chrysler Corporation merged. The company’s current brands include Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Mercedes-Benz, Smart, and Maybach.
