Stellantis publishes preliminary and unaudited key figures for first half 2025
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Stellantis N.V. is publishing today certain preliminary and unaudited financial information for the First Half of 2025, in addition to its global quarterly consolidated shipment estimates and commentary on related trends. In the absence of financial guidance, which was suspended by the Company on April 30, 2025, financial analyst consensus forecasts currently constitute the primary metric for market expectations. The disclosure of the following preliminary financial data for the First Half 2025 is intended to address the difference between these analyst consensus forecasts and the Company's performance for the period. Preliminary financial information for the First Half 2025(2): The following factors had a significant impact on results in the first half of 2025: The early stage of actions being taken to improve performance and profitability, with new products expected to deliver larger benefits in the Second Half of 2025 Approximately €3.3 billion of pre-tax net charges, primarily related to program cancellation costs and platform impairments, net impact of the recent legislation eliminating the CAFE penalty rate, and restructuring, which are excluded from Adjusted Operating Income(3) consistent with the Company's definition of AOI Adverse impacts to AOI from higher industrial costs, geographic and other mix factors, and changes in foreign exchange rates The early effects of US tariffs – €0.3 billion of net tariffs incurred as well as loss of planned production related to implementation of the Company's response plan Financial results for the First Half 2025 will be released as scheduled on July 29, 2025 and a call will be hosted on that day by CEO Antonio Filosa and CFO Doug Ostermann. Global consolidated shipment volumes for the Second Quarter of 2025: Stellantis today also publishes its consolidated shipment estimates. The term 'shipments' describes the volume of vehicles delivered to dealers, distributors, or directly from the Company to retail and fleet customers, which drive revenue recognition. Consolidated shipments for the three months ending June 30, 2025, were an estimated 1.4 million units, representing a 6% decline y-o-y, reflecting North American tariff related production pauses early in the quarter, in addition to reduced, but adverse impacts of product transition in Enlarged Europe, where several important nameplates are either in the ramp-up phase after recent launches, or awaiting production launches scheduled for the second half of 2025. Refer to page 4 for an explanation of the items referenced on this page In North America, Q2 shipments declined approximately 109 thousand units compared to the same period in 2024, representing a 25% y-o-y decline, due to factors including the reduced manufacture and shipments of imported vehicles, most impacted by tariffs, and lower fleet channel sales. Total sales declined 10% y-o-y, with U.S. retail sales relatively flat, and with the region's two largest brands, Jeep® and Ram, collectively delivering 13% higher sales y-o-y. Enlarged Europe Q2 shipments declined approximately 50 thousand units, representing a 6% y-o-y decline, due primarily to product transition factors. The recently-launched 'Smart Car' platform B-segment vehicles continue to ramp up to their full production levels, and prior year comparisons are affected by the hiatus of Fiat 500 ICE pending the arrival of its mild-hybrid successor. Shipments of the four Smart Cars (Citroën C3 and C3 Aircross, Opel/Vauxhall Frontera and Fiat Grande Panda) increased 45% sequentially in the Q2 2025 period, or 25 thousand units, compared to the Q1 2025 period. Across Stellantis' other regions, shipments grew 71 thousand units in aggregate, representing a 22% increase y-o-y, mainly driven by a 30% increase in Middle East & Africa and a 20% increase in South America. In Middle East & Africa shipments were up 29 thousand units, mainly driven by increased volumes in Türkiye and positive developments in Egypt, Algeria and Morocco. Stellantis continues its leadership in South America, with a 43 thousand unit y-o-y increase benefiting from higher industry volumes, especially in Argentina and Brazil. Refer to page 4 for an explanation of the items referenced on this page Management Conference Call: Stellantis CFO Doug Ostermann will host a conference call to discuss the preliminary first half of 2025 financial figures, and answer analyst questions. Time: Monday, July 21, at 8:30 a.m. EDT / 2:30 p.m. CEST Dial-In: Available in the Investors section of the Company's website ( NOTES Consolidated shipments only include shipments by Company's consolidated subsidiaries, which represent new vehicles invoiced to third party (dealers/importers or final customers). Consolidated shipment volumes for Q2 2025 presented here are unaudited and may be adjusted. Final figures will be provided in our H1 2025 Results.

The timing of Industrial free cash flows may be affected by the timing of monetization of receivables, factoring and the payment of accounts payables, as well as changes in other components of working capital, which can vary from period to period due to, among other things, cash management initiatives and other factors, some of which may be outside of the Company's control. In addition Industrial free cash flows is one of the metrics used in the determination of the annual performance for eligible employees, including members of the Senior Management.
