FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 2025
UNIT SALES DEVELOPMENT IN EUROPE PROVIDES
GROWING SUPPORT …
-
Q4 unit sales down by 9%, influenced by:
Scania's and MAN's improving performance in
Unit sales (k units) Sales revenue (€ bn)
Europe (EU27+3 unit sales +11% YoY) not
enough to compensate for …
Severe decline of International's truck unit
sales
Although partly offset by increased bus deliveries (NA unit sales -36% YoY)
Continued decline in SA unit sales (-15% YoY), mainly driven by Scania in Brazil and increasingly also VWTB in H2 25
Although partly offset by other SA markets especially Argentina
-
Q4 sales revenue down by 4%, due to:
Decline in new vehicles sales, partly compensated by solid Vehicle Services business and growing TFS

Key drivers
− Sales revenue slightly down with increased unit sales in Europe, but lower volumes in Brazil
− Capacity reductions provide margin support
− Margin still impacted by currency headwinds and China project costs
− Structural fixed cost reduction starting to count
− Increased Vehicle Services business
− Significantly increased sales revenue due to high unit sales in Europe, especially Germany
− Margin up mainly due to volume effect
− German Q4 momentum strongly driven by buses (after last year's regulatory software issues)
− Positive BEV-momentum,
both eTrucks and eBuses
− Supportive Vehicle Services business
− Ongoing cost work
− Sales revenue sharply down due to weak truck business
− Bus sales moderately up
− Vehicle Services & Other businesses down
− Low-capacity utilization and low fixed cost absorption
− Tariff costs, incl. S-232, increasingly taking effect, causing margin to fall below zero in Q4 (FY break-even)
− Sales revenue down due to challenging Brazilian truck market, partly compensated by growing other South American markets
− Currency headwinds
− Solid margin on the back of effective containment of variable costs
− Sales revenue up driven by increased portfolio volume
− Higher costs in connection with ramp-up of TFS activities; however according to plan
− Lower returns due to higher funding and risk costs, mainly from higher-bad debt expenses in Brazil
