Executive summary
FY 2025 sales are expected at €24.3bn, within the €23–25bn guidance, with Q4 sales flat quarter-over-quarter.
Q4 adjusted EBIT is higher than Q4 2024 but lower than Q3; FY EBIT margin is around the midpoint of the 3%–5% guidance.
Free cash flow for FY 2025 is at the upper end of the €0–200mn guidance, supported by early OEM payments and marking a significant improvement over the prior year.
2025 was marked by market challenges, tariffs, and supply chain issues, but guidance was achieved.
Trading performance and revenue trends
Electrification and E-Mobility trends remain robust globally, with Q4 showing slight year-over-year growth, but FY sales at the lower end of guidance.
Powertrain & Chassis experienced a moderate Q4 sales decline year-over-year, with FY sales near the lower end of guidance due to phase-outs and a soft European market.
Vehicle Lifetime Solutions saw mid-single-digit growth in Q4 and for the full year, with sales at the lower guidance band and robust demand across all regions.
Bearings & Industrial Solutions faced a soft market, with Q4 sales slightly down year-over-year and FY sales slightly lower than the previous year, within guidance.
Profitability and margins
Group EBIT margin for FY 2025 is around the midpoint of the 3%–5% guidance range.
Q4 EBIT improved year-over-year, supported by R&D reimbursements, keeping full-year EBIT margin within guidance.
Powertrain & Chassis Q4 margin is lower year-over-year due to volume declines, but full-year margin remains in the lower half of the 10%–12% range.
Vehicle Lifetime Solutions and Bearings & Industrial Solutions both maintained or improved margin profiles, safely within or above guidance.

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.
