During an earnings announcement today, Volkswagen disclosed that it took a €4.1 billion ($4.61 billion) operating loss for 2015. What's more, the automaker's emissions scandal is costing €16.2 billion ($18.2 billion) and an additional €400 million ($450 million) was used to restructure commercial and passenger vehicle sectors. The on-going settlement talks kept VW from announcing its 2015 earnings until an agreement could be reached with regulators. This isn't the first time the company has had to increase its forecast losses though, as initial payouts to owners were reportedly $1,250. This week's rumblings indicate that number has increased to $5,000 per vehicle, should an owner choose to go that route.
