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.”

Bilbao, 19.10.2022– CIE Automotive continued its history of profitable growth despite a very difficult environment, with revenues of 3,032 million euros in the first nine months of the year and net income of 235 million euros, 14.3% more than in the same period of the previous year.

He adds: "Our focus has always been and will always be cash generation, a generation that is currently allowing us to increase the value of the company by reducing debt, while at the same time investing in maximizing shareholder remuneration, with dividends, capital reductions and the acquisition of minority interests". 

The good results of recent quarters and the favourable outlook for the coming quarters are enabling the company to maintain its organic growth and profitability commitments for 2025.
