11月2日，法国列车制造商阿尔斯通在周一再次下调了全年业绩展望，此前其在德国的Coradia Max平台出现执行问题，导致上半年盈利大幅下滑，并使现金流恶化。
Alstom slashes profitability target, warns of €1.5 billion cash burn Nov 2 - French train maker Alstom cut its full-year outlook again on Monday, after execution problems on its Coradia Max platform in Germany drove half-year profitability sharply lower and worsened cash flow.
不到七个月前，阿尔斯通刚刚取消了一项目标为三年的自由现金流目标并下调了利润率预期，当时该公司将原因归咎于大型机车车辆合同的延误和执行问题。
The warning comes less than seven months after Alstom scrapped a three-year free cash flow target and cut its margin outlook, blaming delays and execution issues on major rolling-stock contracts.
该集团表示，在本财政年度的上半年，其调整后的核心利润率约为-4%，而去年同期为+6.4%，同时其将全年预测从先前的6.5%下调至约1%。
The group said its adjusted core profit margin was around -4% in the first half of the financial year, compared with +6.4% a year ago, as it lowered its full-year forecast to around 1% from earlier 6.5%.
该公司还将今年自由现金流目标下调至流出15亿欧元（合17亿美元），此前其曾预计会出现正收益，并启动了一项旨在削减约20亿欧元债务的计划。
It also cut its free cash flow target for the year to an outflow of €1.5 billion ($1.7 billion), having previously guided for a positive result, and launched a plan to reduce debt by around €2 billion.
在欧洲主要市场开盘之前，阿尔斯通的股价在德国Tradegate平台上暴跌了18%。
