Schaeffler's First Half of 2025: Solid Performance Amid Challenges

Schaeffler AG has reported a steady financial performance for the first half of 2025 despite a slight dip in revenue. The company's revenue stood at €11.8 billion, a 2.6% decrease from the previous year in constant currency terms. Meanwhile, the EBIT margin before special items remained at 4.1%, close to last year's 4.3%.

Regional trends showcased varied outcomes; while Europe and Greater China experienced revenue declines of 5.2% and 6.1% respectively, the Americas and Asia/Pacific regions observed modest growth. The E-Mobility division noted a 9.7% revenue increase, driven by enhanced production of electrified vehicles, whereas the Powertrain & Chassis segment saw a 9.1% decline.

The company also reported improved cash flow, with six-month free cash flow reaching -€128 million compared to the previous year's -€597 million. Schaeffler continues to face market challenges but maintains a positive outlook for 2025.
