The German Volkswagen Group revealed today, Thursday, that its sales revenue in the first nine months of the 2025 financial year experienced a year-on-year growth of 0.6% to reach €239 billion, as the company continues to face challenges in the global market and U.S. tariffs.
Volkswagen car sales increased by 1.8% compared to the same period last year, reaching 6.6 million units, while production rose by 0.2% to the same number. Deliveries to customers also recorded an annual increase of 1.2%, reaching 6.6 million units, while the company's pre-tax profits fell by 51.2% to €6.1 billion.
Volkswagen's Chief Financial Officer, Arno Antleit, stated that the company's performance was "mixed" due to increased demand for electric vehicles on one hand and the impact of U.S. tariffs on imported cars on the other. He added that the company expects Volkswagen sales in 2025 to remain nearly stable compared to 2024, with a net cash flow of zero and an operating margin ranging from 2% to 3%.
In terms of trading, Volkswagen shares (ETR: VOW3) rose by 1.67%, with the stock trading close to €93.60 during trading on the German stock exchange, as investors monitor the company's financial performance and trends in the European market.
These results reflect that Volkswagen continues to adapt to global economic challenges and maintains sales growth despite operational pressures, focusing on enhancing the electric vehicle sector and supporting profit sustainability. These developments illustrate Volkswagen's ability to manage the market flexibly, maintaining a balance between production and sales while achieving long-term financial performance objectives.
