Volvo Cars rapporterar ett rekordhögt rörelseresultat på 8,2 miljarder SEK för andra kvartalet 2024, en ökning med 28 procent jämfört med samma period 2023. EBIT-marginalen steg till 8,1 procent från 6,3 procent året innan. Förbättringen tillskrivs prisdisciplin, kostnadskontroll och försäljningstillväxt. Global försäljning ökade med 15 procent till 205 400 bilar, där elektrifierade bilar ökade med 43 procent. Bruttomarginalen steg till 22,8 procent, med en rekordhög bruttomarginal på 20 procent för helt elektriska bilar. Omsättningen minskade marginellt till 101,5 miljarder SEK på grund av minskade intäkter från kontraktstillverkning och normalisering av försäljning till biluthyrningsföretag. VD Jim Rowan framhöll företagets stabila operativa momentum och ökade marknadsandelar i Europa och USA. Volvo Cars fortsätter att investera i nya modeller och förbättringar av befintliga. Företaget förväntar sig en försäljningsvolymökning på 12–15 procent för 2024, trots makroekonomiska och geopolitiska osäkerheter. Volvo Cars förväntar sig neutralt fritt kassaflöde för 2024 och 2025, med starka kassaflöden från 2026.

Volvo Cars reported an operating profit (EBIT), excluding joint ventures and associates, of SEK 8.2 billion for Q2 2024, the highest ever for a single quarter and a 28% increase from Q2 2023. The core EBIT margin rose to a record 8.1%, up from 6.3% the previous year, driven by pricing discipline, cost control, and sales growth. Global retail sales increased by 15% to 205,400 cars, with electrified car sales (plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles) up 43%. Plug-in hybrids and fully electric vehicles made up 48% of global sales, with fully electric vehicles accounting for 26%. The EX30 small SUV and XC60 plug-in hybrid were top sellers in Europe. Gross margins increased to 22.8%, with EV gross margins reaching 20%. Revenue for the quarter was SEK 101.5 billion, slightly down from SEK 102.2 billion last year, due to reduced contract manufacturing income and normalized rental company sales. Core revenues remained stable. CEO Jim Rowan highlighted the company's strong performance and ability to create value despite geopolitical and economic challenges. Volvo Cars increased its market share in Europe and the US and maintained its position in China. The company is focusing on a balanced portfolio of fully electric, plug-in hybrid, and mild hybrid models to bridge towards full electrification. Production of the EX90 electric SUV began in South Carolina, with customer deliveries expected in Q3 2024. The EX30 will also be produced in Ghent, Belgium, starting in 2025, to mitigate potential EU tariffs on Chinese-made EVs. Volvo Cars expects retail sales to grow by 12-15% in 2024, barring major disruptions, and aims for neutral cash flow in 2024 and 2025, with strong cash flows expected from 2026 onwards. The company continues to invest in new models and improvements, with further details to be shared during its Capital Markets Day in September. Volvo Cars remains committed to becoming a fully electric car maker by 2030 and achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.

Volvo Cars meddelar att Polestars preliminära resultat för 2023, inklusive nedskrivningar på cirka 450 MUSD, kommer att ha en icke-materiell nettoeffekt på Volvo Cars finansiella resultat. Justeringar baserade på Volvo Cars ägarandel i Polestar kommer att inkluderas i resultatet för det andra kvartalet 2024. Dessa justeringar kompenseras till stor del av positiva effekter från minskningen av Volvo Cars ägarandel i Polestar till 18 procent. Volvo Cars rapporterade ett rekordhögt rörelseresultat på 25,6 miljarder SEK och en omsättning på 399,3 miljarder SEK för 2023. Företaget planerar att enbart tillverka elbilar 2030 och strävar efter nettonollutsläpp av växthusgaser år 2040.

Volvo Cars announced that the overall impact of Polestar's 2023 financial and operational results on its financial outcomes will be minimal. This is due to the combination of Polestar's results and a change in Volvo Cars' ownership percentage in Polestar. Polestar reported impairment charges of approximately $450 million, which were not known to Volvo Cars when it reported its 2023 full-year results. Volvo Cars will adjust its second quarter 2024 results based on its 48.3% ownership of Polestar at the end of 2023. This adjustment will be largely offset by positive effects from the distribution of Polestar shares and a reduced ownership to 18% as of May 8, 2024. The total net effect of these adjustments is expected to be non-material for Volvo Cars and will be included in its second quarter 2024 results, to be released on July 18, 2024. For further information, contact Volvo Cars Media Relations or Investor Relations.
