27/02/2025

Increases sales and results with a high level of cash generation that brings debt to historic lows

Bilbao, 27.2.2025 – CIE Automotive has presented today the results for the 2024 financial year, challenging with significant growth an Automotive industry weakened by uncertainties.

Sales have exceeded 3.96 billion euros, which represents a growth of 1.1%, outperforming by more than 2 basic points the decrease in global vehicle production.

In terms of operating margins, an EBITDA – gross operating profit – of 728 million has been reached, and an EBIT – net operating profit – of 538 million euros, which represents margins of 18.4% and 13.6% respectively, significantly higher than the average margins of the sector.

All of the above results in a record net profit of 326 million which, on a comparable perimeter, represents a growth of almost 5% compared to 2023.

According to Jesús María Herrera, CEO of CIE Automotive, “We continue growing above the market, improving our results, and above all, we continue with an extremely high cash generation that has brought our leverage to historic lows, which, in the current sectoral context, highlights the value of our management model and our positioning as a reference supplier in the global Automotive industry”.

And he adds: “For all these reasons and due to our expectations for the current year, we are in a position to reconfirm that the commitments of the 2025 Strategic Plan will be fulfilled.”

CIE Automotive obtains ISO 20400 certification for Sustainable Purchasing

08/04/2022

This certification recognises the work of the Purchasing Department and the company's solid sustainability policy

CIE Automotive obtained ISO 20400 certification, the first international standard on sustainable procurement. ISO 20400 certification provides the guidelines for integrating sustainability into an organisation's purchasing strategy and processes, defining the principles of sustainable procurement in terms of accounting, transparency, respect for human rights and ethical behaviour. This standard enables certified companies to:

- Implement sustainability in a measurable way.

- Involve all members of the organisation in the concept of sustainability.

- Orient internal processes towards sustainability.

- Ensure the generational handover required by certification.

- Develop a continuous training plan on the implications of sustainability.

- Implement a secure process towards excellence in sustainability within the organisation.

- Implement a continuous innovation system with sustainability as the axis of the organisation.

- Establish a clear differential value over competitors in brand image and in the development of the working environment.

This is, therefore, a recognition of - and commitment - to good practices and excellence in this area's activity, as well as its contribution to and alignment with ESG policies.

CIE Automotive, thus, continues to overcome sustainability challenges. Congratulations to all!
