VW cuts outlook after US tariffs added 1.3 billion euros in costs
[BERLIN] Volkswagen lowered its financial outlook for the year, with the escalating cost of President Donald Trump's tariffs weighing on earnings at the Audi and Porsche brands. The automaker now sees an operating return on sales as low as 4 per cent, from at least 5.5 per cent previously, after the US duties added 1.3 billion euros (S$1.95 billion) in costs during the first half. Volkswagen also cited internal restructuring expenses and greater sales of lower-margin electric vehicles for the forecast change. 'We cannot assume that the tariff situation is only temporary,' chief executive officer Oliver Blume said on Friday (Jul 25) on a call, noting that Trump's current levies would add several billion euros in costs this year. 'We are counting on the European Commission and the US government to reach a balanced outcome on the tariff issue.' Europe's largest carmaker is under pressure to cut costs and improve its products to deal with crises in three key markets. Trump's levies are eating into sales and earnings for import-dependent Audi and Porsche, while muted demand and high production costs weigh on profits in Europe. Volkswagen also is losing market share in China, where consumers increasingly opt for local brands. Volkswagen now sees flat revenue for the year, from 5 per cent growth previously, and also reduced its outlook for free cash flow. The lower end of its forecast assumes the 27.5 per cent US tariffs will stick in the second half, while the upper end foresees the levies being reduced to 10 per cent. 'We need a good compromise,' chief financial officer Arno Antlitz said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. 'A solution that fits both the needs of the American administration, but also European automakers.'

The stock is still up around 6 per cent this year. The German manufacturer isn't alone in facing challenges: Some of its peers are dealing with tumult in top management, with Stellantis NV having recently named a new chief executive officer and Renault SA seeking a permanent CEO. Volkswagen is counting on partnerships with Rivian Automotive in the US and China's Xpeng to bolster its products, though new models from those efforts won't be available until next year. The challenges in China, where brands led by BYD are locked in a fierce EV price war, continue to hurt Volkswagen's profits. The operating result from its operations in the biggest car market fell more than a third in the second quarter. Volkswagen expects its joint-venture activities in the country to contribute at best €1 billion this year, down from the 1.7 billion euro proportionate operating result in 2024. The group's trucking business Traton SE late Thursday cut its outlook due to the trade hurdles as well as weak economic growth in Europe and declining orders in Brazil. The unit's adjusted operating result slumped 29 per cent in the second quarter. There were some bright spots. The namesake VW brand has seen EV sales rise in Europe in recent months thanks to rebating and buyers increasingly shunning Tesla over Elon Musk's political activities. The company sees strong order intake momentum continuing through the end of the year in Europe after EV deliveries rose 73 per cent there in the second quarter, driven by robust demand for models including the VW ID.5, the Audi Q4 e-tron and the Skoda Enyaq.

Pathway to profitability: One Championship spreads wings in Asia and beyond
ONE Championship – the company that's produced dozens of mixed martial arts (MMA) world champions such as Angela Lee, Stamp Fairtex and Aung La N Sang over the years – is busy growing its footprint in Asia and beyond. The Singapore-based promoter has a firm presence in Bangkok, where it stages the weekly One Friday Fights event at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium. These shows are beamed to some 195 countries during Aisa prime-time hours. Last month, One Championship announced the relocation of its global production hub from Singapore to Bangkok, with the move aiming to 'centralise production' and better support the company's expanding content operations. Outside of the Thai capital, One Championship continues to stage major live events – there will be one show in Tokyo in November, and another in the US state of Colorado in June 2026. Earlier this year in February, the company held its second event in Qatar. 'Asia remains our core, with the Middle East and the US as strategic expansion markets,' said co-founder and group president Teh Hua Fung in an interview with BT Weekend. Teh, who joined the company in January 2018 as chief financial officer and gradually moved up the ranks, spoke about a wide range of issues such as the geographic focus and why he's confident that One Championship remains firmly on a path towards profitability. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 2 pm Lifestyle Our picks of the latest dining, travel and leisure options to treat yourself. Sign Up Sign Up What are your responsibilities as co-founder and president? I run the business with (chairman and CEO) Chatri Sityodtong. We make the big decisions together with our leadership team. I oversee global expansion and business development. The areas of focus are capital markets, group strategy, and building partnerships with both businesses and governments. Where are the main commercial opportunities these days? The Middle East is a region that has very strong tailwinds – a young and very digitally savvy population, and strong government support for sports and entertainment. We are growing our operations in Qatar – it's part of the Gulf Cooperation Council, and those countries have a combined population of 60 million. Qatar represents the starting point of our entry into the Middle East, and we are going to focus on that. If you look at the broader Middle East and North Africa region, you have very large countries like Egypt that have a big appetite for sports. The US remains a very key market for us – it's the largest sports market in the world. Today, we are the only Asia-based sports property with live events carried on Amazon Prime Video in US primetime hours. This places us alongside the likes of the NFL, MLB, Nascar, WNBA and soon, the NBA. As a Singapore-headquartered company, that's something we are very proud of. 'Singapore remains our global HQ. It's home to our senior leadership, investor relations and strategic planning functions,' says One Championship's co-founder and president Teh Hua Fung. PHOTO: REUTERS What about Singapore? Singapore remains our global HQ. It's home to our senior leadership, investor relations and strategic planning functions. We value Singapore's world-class infrastructure, global connectivity and deep talent pool. We also cherish and appreciate our longstanding working relationships with government agencies here like Singapore Tourism Board, Sport Singapore, the Infocomm Media Development Authority, Economic Development Board and Enterprise Singapore – all of whom have been important partners in our journey. Revenue in the last five financial years has seen a steady increase. What's the road to profitability like, and how are you getting there? Our group-level financials are filed in the Cayman Islands, in line with our re-domiciliation several years ago. The trend is clear. Since our peak investment year in 2019, costs have declined steadily while revenues have grown in both volume and variety. A question I often get is: It's been more than a decade (One Championship was established in 2011), so why are you still unprofitable? We are not profitable yet, but the path is very visible now. That said, a precise timing is hard to predict in this business. Many of our key revenue drivers such as broadcast rights, sponsorships and hosting fees are large, multi-year deals that tend to close in uneven cycles. While we have always been confident in the direction, it's hard to call the precise timing of profitability given the natural lumpiness of the business.

PHOTO: ONE CHAMPIONSHIP What are the challenges? Building a global sports property requires heavy upfront investment. Unlike one-off event promoters or circuses, sports media businesses are full-stack ecosystems – you need a global brand, world-class athletes, live event infrastructure, broadcast capabilities, international distribution, and strategic partnerships. All of this requires a lot of time and money to build, and you must reach a critical mass in audience before you start seeing serious monetisation. This journey is not unique to One Championship. Formula 1 operated at a loss for decades before becoming a highly profitable business under Liberty Media. They had to build global infrastructure, including races across multiple regions, to expand their fanbase and eventually unlock commercial upside. Once scale is reached, the economics shift dramatically. Like a theme park, it's expensive to build but once it's up and running, incremental revenue outpaces fixed costs, and margins expand. That's the phase we are approaching now.
