Executive summary
Q3 2025 marked a transformative quarter with the spin-off of AUMOVIO and the signing of the OESL sale, both executed on time and on budget, supporting strategic realignment towards a pure-play Tires and ContiTech business.
The AUMOVIO spin-off added significant market cap and outperformed indices, while the OESL sale aligns ContiTech with an 80% industry business focus.
Net income was -€756 million, mainly due to over €1.1 billion in non-cash special effects from transformation activities, which are excluded from the dividend base.
Organic group sales grew 2.6% year-over-year, with consolidated sales of €5.0 billion, flat year-over-year.
Adjusted EBIT was €565 million (11.4% margin), down from €664 million (13.3%) in Q3 2024, with prior year boosted by a one-time effect.
Financial highlights
Adjusted free cash flow improved to €169 million, up 8.0% year-over-year, reflecting better operational performance and working capital management.
Net indebtedness increased to €6,054 million post-spin-off, with a pro-forma leverage ratio of 2.26.
Basic earnings per share for Q3 2025 was -€3.78; EPS excl. PPA at 0.04.
EBITDA for Q3 2025 was €31 million, down from €897 million in Q3 2024.
Gross margin on sales for Q3 2025 was €1,324 million.
Outlook and guidance
FY 2025 group sales expected at €19.5–21.0 billion, with adjusted EBIT margin of 10.0–11.0%.
Tires segment sales forecast at €13.5–14.5 billion (12.5–14.0% margin); ContiTech at €6.0–6.5 billion (6.0–7.0% margin).
Adjusted free cash flow guidance: €0.6–1.0 billion.
CapEx guidance raised to 6.5% of sales due to ongoing plant expansions in Asia.
Tax rate for 2025 anticipated in the low triple-digit percentage range due to special effects.

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.
