VW has already appointed a new chief executive and chairman since the scandal broke. The chief executive and chairman of the Board of Management, Matthias Müller, said: "The figures show the core strength of the Volkswagen Group on the one hand, while on the other the initial impact of the current situation is becoming clear. We will do everything in our power to win back the trust we have lost."
The company has launched a thorough investigation into the scandal, but new chairman Hans Dieter Poetsch has warned that answers will take "some time". VW said it expects profits for the full year to be "down significantly" as a result of the costs of dealing with the emissions scandal, but it said that it is still forecasting a rise of up to 4% in sales revenue.
Meanwhile the group has started retrenching and announced earlier this month it would reduce its research and development budget. In the last three months it has reduced R&D by over €1bn.
Volkswagen shares rose 3.2% on the results, and were the best performing stock on the German Dax 30 index in the first hour of trade
