Chrysler LLC today reported total January 2009 U.S. sales of 62,157 units, down 55 percent versus the same month in 2008 (137,392 units), and down 31 percent from December 2008 (89,813 units). Total sales were suppressed by a significant reduction in fleet sales, which is aligned with the Company's sales strategy helping to maintain or improve the overall residual value of Chrysler vehicles for our customers. Fleet sales were down 81 percent for January compared to the same time last year.

Chrysler LLC today reported total October 2008 U.S. sales of 94,530 units, down 35 percent from the same month last year. Sales for October reflect an overall industry decline and reduced fleet sales.

"While October was a very tough month for everyone in this business, we as an industry must focus on the fact that there are still many serious car buyers out there, and every company has an equal opportunity to win their business," said Jim Press, Chrysler LLC Vice Chairman and President. "From a Chrysler perspective, we are pleased that despite this marketplace downturn, our critically important Dodge Ram launch is on schedule and our overall pickup truck share is on target. We look forward to rolling out the rest of our 2009 model year vehicles with improved quality and fuel economy and fighting for those customers who are in the market."

Jeep(R) Patriot sales increased 62 percent year-to-date (50,596 units) compared to same timeframe in 2007 (31,248 units). October sales of the vehicle grew two percent versus September 2008 sales (3,252 units in October compared to 3,190 units in September).

Chrysler LLC today reported total September 2008 U.S. sales of 107,349 units, down 33 percent from the same period last year. Total September sales reflect a highly volatile economic environment, ongoing segment shifts and reduced fleet and lease volume. Sales for the month were supported by models such as the Dodge Journey, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Chrysler Town & Country, as well as competitive pricing and aggressive monthly payment offers.

"The economy is going through a difficult restructuring, resulting in great uncertainty among consumers," Jim Press, Chrysler LLC Vice Chairman and President, said. "We are committed to supporting our customers with significant savings and innovative financing, and our dealers with new business solutions. Longer term, we all need to be investing in building a healthier automobile industry and be ready to compete when the economy strengthens."

The Company finished the month with 381,365 units of inventory, or a 85- day supply. As part of a planned reduction in manufacturing capacity, inventory is down 15 percent compared with September 2007 when it totaled 450,733 units.

Chrysler LLC sold 4,654 units of the Jeep Liberty in August, a decrease of 14 percent when compared with August 2007. However, the vehicle picked up some momentum in August increasing sales 24 percent when compared with July 2008 sales.

The Jeep(R) Patriot continues to gain traction in the market, offering excellent fuel economy, interior flexibility and utility at a great value. Total sales of 3,451 were up 4 percent versus last year due to consumer interest in the company's most fuel-efficient vehicles. Additionally, Jeep Patriot 2008 year-to-date sales increased 119 percent, with 40,135 total sales when compared with July 2007 year-to-date sales of 18,286 units.

Chrysler LLC today announced that in spite of the severe economic and industry challenges, we continue to perform ahead of our financial plan for the second quarter and first half of 2008. The Company measures its financial performance against two primary financial metrics: Cash/Marketable Securities and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and restructuring charges). As of June 30, 2008, the Company had Cash/Marketable Securities of $11.7 billion, (including $2.3 billion in Restricted Cash and excluding $2.3 billion in Voluntary Employee Benefits Association assets), well ahead of its plan and down slightly from year-end 2007. As well, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, Chrysler posted an EBITDA of approximately $1.1 billion, well ahead of plan.

The Company remains ahead of its financial plan due primarily to Chrysler’s fast response to the deteriorating market conditions and its cost reduction initiatives launched in 2007, focused largely on restructuring its operations. Those efforts have kept the Company ahead of the overall market developments.

The all-new Jeep(R) Patriot posted sales for June with 4,889 units, up 6 percent compared with June 2007 sales of 4,633 units. Combined year-to-date (YTD) total sales of the fuel-efficient Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot compact vehicles which each achieve 28 miles per gallon or better in highway driving, reached 114,188 units, up 18 percent from YTD 2007 combined sales of 96,553 units.
