Executive summary

  • Sales for H1 2024 slightly exceeded €2 billion in Q2 and €4,016.4 million for H1, down 17% and 15.5% year-over-year respectively, mainly due to divestitures and planned declines in Contract Manufacturing.

  • Adjusted EBIT margin improved to 4% in Q2, with adjusted EBIT at €82 million, driven by positive mix effects, cost containment, and improved Core ICE results.

  • Electrification sales showed early recovery, reaching €348 million in Q2 and €1,519.1 million for H1, with order intake over €3 billion, including €1.3 billion from Electrification.

  • Free cash flow was significantly negative at -€388 million in Q2 and -€478.1 million for H1, mainly due to changes in payment terms, higher investments, and settlements.

  • Net income improved to €57.0 million from a prior loss, and EBIT rose to €58.4 million, supported by fixed cost savings.

Financial highlights

  • Organic sales decreased by 11.5% year-over-year, with total sales decline mainly from Non-Core and FX effects.

  • Core technologies (Electrification and Core ICE) sales reached €1.6 billion, with adjusted EBIT margin at 4.5%.

  • CapEx rose to 5.9% of sales, driven by Electrification product launches and new contract investments.

  • Equity ratio remained solid at 39%–39.4%.

Outlook and guidance

  • Group sales for FY 2024 now forecast at €8.1 billion ±€150 million, reflecting volatile OEM call-offs and weak demand.

  • Adjusted EBIT margin expected at 4% ±0.2%, mainly due to lower sales and contribution margin.

  • CapEx ratio projected at 7% of sales for the year, focused on Electrification investments.

  • Free cash flow for FY 2024 expected around €-400 million, with positive cash flow anticipated in H2.

  • Electrification expected to reach profitability in Q3, with further improvement in Q4.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

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.
