Mack Trucks Earnings Drop Sales Increase
Mack Trucks Inc reported third quarter 1964 sales of 73.24 million dollars, up from 66.98 million the year before. Quarterly earnings were 634,000 dollars or 18 cents per share, affected by startup costs and losses from the Camions Bernard subsidiary in France. Net income for nine months 1964, after startup charges, was 5.162 million dollars or 1.70 per share. The company aims to gain a European market via the French plant and distribution network, with progress expected from the revised product line and management reorganization.
