Bilbao, 28.4.2022 – CIE Automotive today presented its results for the first quarter of 2022 during the General Shareholders' Meeting held at the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao.

Thus, CIE has invoiced 972 million euros in the quarter, 11% more than in the same period of 2021, with an EBITDA - gross operating profit - of 159.5 million and an EBIT - net operating profit - of 117.7 million.

According to Jesús María Herrera, CEO of CIE Automotive, "We expect the market to value these magnificent results, achieved thanks to the efforts of all members of the CIE team in a very complicated industry context, with an almost 5% drop in volumes produced and a generalized scenario of cost inflation".
