Continental AG reported full-year 2025 sales of €19.7 billion with 0.8% organic growth, alongside adjusted EBIT of €2 billion and a 10.3% margin. The company proposed a dividend of €2.70 per share, representing a 4.8% yield. The tyre segment showed resilience with 2.4% organic growth and €3.6 billion in Q4 sales, achieving a 13.9% adjusted EBIT margin. However, ContiTech faced headwinds with a 5.2% organic decline in Q4 due to challenging automotive and industrial markets. Continental reduced net debt, improving its leverage ratio to approximately 2.0. For 2026, the company projects sales of €17.3 billion to €18.9 billion with an adjusted EBIT margin of 11% to 12.5%, whilst navigating anticipated declines in light vehicle production and challenging market conditions in the Americas.
German automotive parts maker Continental reported a net loss of €165 million for fiscal 2025, compared with a profit of €1.168 billion the previous year. Sales declined to €19.676 billion from €20.077 billion. The company's earnings were impacted by €1.2 billion in non-cash special effects from the Aumovio spin-off and planned OESL sale. Adjusted operating result fell to €2.035 billion from €2.212 billion, whilst the adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 10.3% from 11%. Despite the loss, Continental will increase its dividend to €2.70 per share, up €0.20 from last year. For fiscal 2026, the company anticipates consolidated sales of €17.3 billion to €18.9 billion with an adjusted EBIT margin of 11% to 12.5%, citing continued market volatility.
