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 beats its quarterly record again

28/04/2020

Despite the adverse context, it reports its 25th consecutive record quarter. The company held its General Shareholders Meeting today.

CIE Automotive continues one more quarter delivering growth and profitability. In this sense, the company has reported that it has achieved a turnover of 822 million euros, 1.2% more than in the same period of 2019. In fact, in an Automotive market directly impacted by the health crisis in which vehicle productions have fallen by -25% in this first quarter, CIE has grown 26 points above the market.

It is also worth reminding the sustainability of high operating margins, with an EBITDA (gross operating profit) that exceeds the 17% margin in sales, and the improvement in its net profit, which has reached 72.8 million euros.

According to Jesús María Herrera, CEO of the Group, “our clients are resuming activity and we understand that the worst of the situation has passed. Current visibility is very limited, so we are not in a position to formulate a forecast for 2020, but we are confident of a reasonable evolution in the second half that will allow us to end the year with a positive result and withoperating cashgeneration, themain and ultimate objective of our business model”.

Also, note that CIE Automotive held the General Shareholders' Meeting today at its registered office in Bilbao and that it took place electronically given the existing mobility restrictions.
