Renault Group has published its preliminary H1 results.
It reported sales of €27.6bn, up 2.5%, with an operating margin of 6% and free cash flow limited to €47m, penalised by a change in working capital (around €900m).
The car maker says that its results were impacted by a lower-than-expected performance in June, with volumes falling slightly short of expectations, increased commercial pressure due to the continuing decline in the retail market, and an underperformance by the LCV business in a sharply declining market in Europe.
For FY 2025, it now expects a margin of around 6.5% and free cash flow of €1bn to €1.5bn, compared with >7% and >€2bn previously.
Renault says that it will continue its efforts to reduce costs in order to preserve value creation.
It points out that the preliminary figures published in this press release are unaudited and that the final H1 2025 results results be published on 31 July 2025.
