Not to be too anal - and I supposed it's fair to include the Envision, even though 2016 provides no meaningful figure -
but if those are Chinese-made Envisions, then SAIC keeps 50% of the proceeds, correct?
If that's the case, income from sales would be up 1.04%, vs. a rosier 17%.
Oh, btw - I'm guessing it's a typo, but the first chart (retail vs. fleet) is based on Cadillac. (?).
Sorry, the OCD is kicking in.
No, SAIC does not keep 50% of the profits of the Envisions sold outside of China.
We now have the correct table in the post. The version of the article you saw incorrectly had the Cadillac table in there. Glad your OCD caught it :)
At least my OCD was good for something!
Have a good weekend, Alex.
