D’Ieteren: Belron’s AGRR Jobs Down in First Quarter, New CFO on Board
D’Ieteren today reported the company’s first quarter 2015 results. The publicly traded Belguim-based owner of Belron, (the parent of Safelite AutoGlass in the United States) reported that the number of automotive glass repair or replacement jobs it completed worldwide were down 4 percent to 2.6 million. Organic growth for the first quarter this year was flat with only a .9 percent increase over the same period in 2014. Total first quarter 2015 sales for Belron are 10.2 percent higher than the prior year, mostly due to currency exchange rates.

This was partially offset by a 1.0 percent decline due to one less trading day in the first quarter of 2015 than in 2014. Continue reading
