In 2025-Q3, Forvia’s consolidated sales reached €6.12bn, a stable performance in organic terms, while a 3.7-per-cent negative currency effect depressed reported figures by €238m.
There was solid growth in Electronics, Clean Mobility and Lifecycle Solutions while the China activity was reflecting an unfavourable mix between Chinese customers.
The trajectory for 2025 is unchanged despite market headwinds with light vehicle production expected down 2.8 per cent; Forvia’s 2025 sales would be between €26.3bn and €27.3bn, operating margin between 5.2 and 6.0 per cent, and cash flow above €655m.
CEO Martin Fischer said: “resilient sales and continued focus on performance kept Forvia firmly on its trajectory, despite increased volatility in the customer mix. Operational excellence remains a key priority — optimizing our cost base through the swift execution of the EU-Forward plan, the global rollout of our SIMPLIFY program, and enhanced flexibility in production costs. In parallel, we are making steady progress on our transformation agenda: divestment processes are advancing in line with our targets. The organizational changes now being deployed are energizing our culture and strengthening agility and accountability across the company. Looking ahead to year-end, and amid increasing uncertainty, we remain more mobilized and vigilant than ever on cost and cash discipline, and we confirm our full-year objectives”.
