AUMOVIO confirms strategic direction at its first Annual Shareholders‘ Meeting as an independent company

Frankfurt am Main, May 13, 2026. AUMOVIO is holding its first Annual Shareholders‘ Meeting today as an independent European company in Frankfurt. Since its spin-off in September 2025, the company has made a successful start and continues to consistently advance its transformation.  

In fiscal year 2025, AUMOVIO delivered an overall solid performance in a still challenging market environment. Adjusted consolidated sales for the full year came in at €18.5 billion, adjusted EBIT at €717 million. Adjusted EBIT margin came in at 3.9 percent and normalized free cash flow totaled €650 million.  

Despite cash outflows of €491 million related to the spin-off and the ongoing transformation, the company succeeded in significantly improving profitability and achieved all its financial targets. At the same time, demand continued to show positive momentum. Order intake in 2025 amounted to approximately €20.4 billion, exceeding the prior-year level.

Since its listing in September 2025, AUMOVIO has been systematically further developing its organization and aligning it with the requirements of an independent company. Leaner structures, faster decision-making processes and a clear focus on efficiency are sustainably strengthening competitiveness.  

The company continues to consolidate and to optimize its manufacturing footprint with a clear focus on future and efficiency. By selectively adjusting its global footprint, AUMOVIO is laying the foundation for higher utilization, greater efficiency and enhanced competitiveness.

AUMOVIO is also well positioned technologically. A modern vehicle approach, increasingly shaped by software, connectivity and digital functions, is opening up new opportunities for additional value creation per vehicle.

“A modern vehicle is no longer just a means of getting from A to B. It has evolved into a platform, where features, software, and digital content interact with each other. AUMOVIO benefits from this development by continuously increasing our content per vehicle and thereby enhancing our value contribution,” added Philipp von Hirschheydt.

For the current fiscal year, AUMOVIO continues to expect a challenging market environment. Despite a decline in sales in the first quarter of 2026, the company improved both adjusted EBIT and free cash flow compared to the prior-year quarter and further increased profitability.

In light of this positive development, AUMOVIO confirms its outlook for the current fiscal year: Adjusted consolidated sales are expected to be between €17.0 billion and €18.5 billion, the adjusted EBIT margin between 3.5 percent and 5.0 percent, and normalized free cash flow between €500 million and €800 million.

At the Annual Shareholders‘ Meeting, shareholders will vote, among other items, on the appropriation of profits, the ratification of the acts of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board, the election of the auditor, and resolutions on the remuneration system for the Executive Board and Supervisory Board members.

In addition, an amendment to the Articles of Association will be proposed to enable the company to further develop its corporate purpose with regard to future growth areas.
