BMW CEO faces criticism for bad Q1 results and lack of ambitious electric strategy

BERLIN, May 16 (Xinhua) — Harald Krueger, chief executive officer (CEO) of the German luxury car maker BMW, faced a tough audience of shareholders at BMW's Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Munich on Thursday.
“Currently, only bad news comes from BMW,” said Janne Werning from the German fund company Union Investment at the AGM.
Last week, the German car manufacturer reported its first loss in a decade in the main automotive division of BMW in the first quarter of 2019.
The German car maker's operating profits (EBIT) fell by 78 percent to 589 million euros (658.5 million U.S. dollars) in Q1 of 2019, compared to 2.7 billion euros in Q1 of 2018.
BMW's profit margin in the automotive business has been below the company's target value of 8 percent for months.
Although the Munich carmaker sold more cars last year than in the previous year, profit before taxes fell to 9.8 billion euros and are expected to fall below 8.9 billion euros this year.
