The big culprit is that July will be the company’s lowest month for sales to rental and corporate fleets so far the year, according to data offered by GM. Bloomberg Reports

As predictable, fiscal 2015 third quarter results were positively influenced by $0.09 per share due to tax audit settlements and expiration of statutes of limitations and negatively influenced contrast to the preceding year quarter by $0.11 per share from currency translation, particularly the euro and Australian dollar, which declined against the U.S. dollar.

Merged net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were $1.61 billion, a decrease of 16.6 percent contrast to the preceding year third quarter.
