Renault Reports Q1 2025 Financial Results: H1 Report Now Available

Renault SA has announced the availability of its 2025 H1 financial report, which is now filed with the French Financial Markets Authority and available on the Renault website. The report can be accessed through the "Regulated information" tab under the "Investors" section.

Renault SA has released its 2025 H1 financial report, which has been filed with the French Financial Markets Authority and is now available on the Renault website. The report provides a detailed overview of the company's performance during the first half of the year, offering insights into its financial health and strategic direction.

According to the report, Renault Group's revenue reached €27,640 million, up 2.5% compared to 2024 H1. At constant exchange rates, revenue increased by 3.6%. Automotive revenue stood at €24,490 million, up 0.5% compared to 2024 H1. This increase was driven by a positive volume effect and a positive product mix effect, offset by a higher destocking within the dealership network and a negative geographic mix effect [1].

The operating margin for the Group stood at €1,653 million or 6.0% of revenue, down from 8.1% in 2024 H1. The automotive operating margin was €989 million, down from €1,600 million in 2024 H1. This decline was primarily due to a negative impact of foreign exchange, a positive volume effect, and a price/mix/enrichment effect [1].

The report also highlights the impact of currency fluctuations, with a negative effect of -€264 million due to the devaluation of the Turkish lira, Brazilian real, and Argentinean peso. However, the positive volume effect and the positive product mix effect helped to offset this impact [1].

Renault Group's strategy for the second half of the year focuses on improving competitiveness through cost reductions and price/mix/enrichment effects. The company aims to achieve a higher volume effect in H2 compared to H1, driven by strong order levels in June and the ramp-up of new launches [1].

The report also provides an update on the Group's financial outlook for 2025, with expectations for a Group operating margin around 6.5% and free cash flow between €1.0 billion and €1.5 billion. Renault Group's strong fundamentals, including a flexible business model, an attractive line-up of vehicles, and a focus on the most profitable sales channels, position it well to meet the challenges of an increasingly competitive market [1].
