Chrysler's total cash decreased to $12.4 billion from 13.3 billion at the end of 2013. Chrysler's cash declined because the automaker also made a $1.9 billion payment to the UAW trust as part of Fiat's acquisition agreement. Palmer said Fiat and Chrysler eventually wants to restructure its bond debt that is due over the next two years but is still weighing its options. "We clearly need to look at simplifying the capital structure of the group at an FCA level," Palmer said. "We are looking to diversity our debt between Europe and the U.S." The Auburn Hills automaker's earnings results come less than a week after Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne presented an ambitious five-year strategic plan that calls for global sales of the combined automaker to increase global sales from about 4.4 million to 7 million cars and trucks by 2018. Fiat's stock fell 12 percent last Wednesday, the day after Marchionne presented the plan.
