According to preliminary figures, Vitesco Technologies Group AG generated group sales of around 2.26 bn euros (Q1 2021: 2.30 bn euros; market consensus as of 22 April 2022: 2,14 bn euros) in the first quarter 2022.

Despite the ongoing burden related to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as supply shortages for important production components such as semiconductors, and given the Russian war of aggression in the Ukraine and the related negative impacts on global supply chains, the preliminary adjusted EBIT margin for the first quarter 2022 was at 2.0 percent (Q1 2021: 0.7 percent) and thus above market consensus (1.5 percent) thanks to the good transformation progress. In absolute figures, preliminary adjusted EBIT thus came in at around 45 mn euros (Q1 2021: 17 mn euros; market consensus: 32 mn euros).

Based on preliminary figures, free cash flow for the first quarter 2022 came in at roughly 48 mn euros (Q1 2021: 239 mn euros; market consensus: -44 mn euros). This includes capital expenditures of around 52 mn euros (Q1 2021: 44 mn euros; market consensus: 129 mn euros).

Vitesco Technologies Group AG will release the quarterly statement for the first quarter 2022 on 13 May 2022.
