Executive summary
Q2 2025 and H1 marked by high volatility, FX and tariff headwinds, and operational challenges, but resilient performance and transformation progress, including the Automotive spin-off (AUMOVIO/OMVOYO) scheduled for September 18.
Group sales declined (Q2: €9.6bn, -0.4% to -4.1% y/y; H1: €19.3bn, -2.5% y/y), mainly due to FX impacts; adjusted EBIT margin improved to 8.7% in Q2 and 7.6% in H1.
Automotive profitability improved significantly, achieving breakeven in H1 and strong Q2 margin gains, supported by cost reductions and operational improvements.
Major restructuring and cost reduction initiatives continued, with over 6,000 employees reduced and significant SG&A and R&D savings realized.
The group is realigning to focus on Tires, with Automotive and Contract Manufacturing to be spun off and ContiTech to be sold.
Financial highlights
Q2 2025 group sales: €9.6bn; adjusted EBIT: €595m–€834m (margin 6.2%–8.7%); H1 adjusted EBIT: €1,473m (7.6% margin).
Net income improved year-over-year, reaching €506m in Q2 and €574m in H1; net indebtedness reduced to €4,953m.
Adjusted free cash flow improved in H1, with Q2 at €147m and H1 at -€481m (better than prior year); leverage ratio improved to 1.1.
Tires segment delivered strong price/mix but faced profitability pressure from FX and tariffs; ContiTech volumes weak but margins improved sequentially.
Dividend of €2.50 per share paid for fiscal 2024.
Outlook and guidance
FY 2025 guidance confirmed: group sales expected at €19.5–21.0bn, adjusted EBIT margin at 10.0–11.0%.
Tires sales forecasted at €13.5–14.5bn (12.5–14.0% margin); ContiTech at €6.0–6.5bn (6.0–7.0% margin); Automotive (discontinued) at €18.0–20.0bn (2.5–4.0% margin).
Adjusted free cash flow projected at €0.6–1.0bn; most restructuring and spin-off cash outflows to occur in 2025.
Margin expectations lowered due to FX and trade barriers; negative special effects of ~€350m anticipated.
Market outlook: flat global light vehicle production, stable to slightly positive replacement tire demand.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
