Pre-close call summary21 Sep, 2026

Executive summary

  • Macroeconomic conditions remained challenging in Q3, with low visibility and subdued consumer sentiment across key regions.

  • Global premium automotive segment forecasts have deteriorated, with sharper contractions expected in 2026, especially in China and the US.

Trading performance and revenue trends

  • Retail sales volumes declined 13% quarter-to-date, with July down 8% and August down 19%.

  • Discount levels remained high, particularly in China, amid weak demand.

  • FX headwinds persisted, mainly due to Turkish TRY and Chinese CNY.

Profitability and margins

  • Gross margin was negatively impacted by elevated discounts, higher freight costs, and FX headwinds.

  • EBIT margin continued to face pressure from increased depreciation and amortization linked to new product launches and lower capitalisation rates.

  • Q3 is expected to feel a greater impact from delayed higher raw material costs than Q1 and Q2.

  • No major positive offsets to profitability are expected for Q3.

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.
