Volkswagen's Q2 Financial Performance Overview

The Volkswagen Group reported a slight decline in its second-quarter sales revenue for fiscal 2025, totaling €80.8 billion, a 3% decrease from the previous year. Despite this, the company saw a marginal increase in vehicle sales and deliveries to customers, while production experienced a slight downturn.

Financial Highlights and Challenges

Earnings after tax took a significant hit, dropping by 36.3% to €2.3 billion. CFO Arno Antlitz highlighted the mixed results, noting strong product success and progress in company realignment, but also pointed to the negative impacts of increased US import tariffs and restructuring measures.

Looking Ahead

Excluding these challenges, the operating margin reached nearly seven percent, aligning with the upper end of Volkswagen's expectations. This indicates resilience and potential for recovery in the coming quarters.
