Positive
  • Increased global BEV and LEV sales in Q1 2024.

  • Approval of a 16% increase in ordinary dividend.

  • Confirmation of FY 2024 guidance with positive industrial free cash flows.

  • Key achievements such as partnership with California Air Resources Board and employee engagement initiatives.

  • Strategic investments like the acquisition of CloudMade and investment plan for South America.

Negative
  • Decrease in net revenues by 12% compared to Q1 2023.

  • Consolidated shipments down by 10% in Q1 2024.

  • Macro-economic uncertainties despite reiterating double-digit AOI margin commitment in 2024.

Insights

Stellantis' report indicates a 12% decline in net revenues, which is considerably important for investors to note. This drop stems from lower volume, adverse mix and foreign exchange headwinds. The share buyback program remains on track, which could be seen as a positive signal of management's confidence in the intrinsic value of the company. An increased dividend payout by 16% also demonstrates commitment to shareholder returns. However, investors should be wary of the macroeconomic challenges implied and monitor the success of the new product transitions closely as they are critical to the company's future revenue and earnings recovery.

The commitment to a double-digit Adjusted Operating Income (AOI) Margin and positive industrial free cash flows, despite the current downtrend, signifies a robust internal cost management and operational efficiency. The growth in global electric vehicle (BEV) sales, particularly, reflects a strategic alignment with the industry's shift towards electrification, which could position Stellantis strongly in the long term. Moreover, the partnerships and investments in AI and battery technologies place the company at the forefront of innovation, enhancing its competitive edge.

The decrease in consolidated shipments by 10% is an indicator of Stellantis' inventory strategy, optimizing for the launch of new products in the latter half of the year. This strategic pivot could either lead to streamlined operations and a favorable product mix or pose a risk if the new introductions do not resonate with the market. The firm’s focus on BEVs, increased sales in global markets and in-house production capabilities are forward-thinking, yet it is essential to evaluate consumer reception of the new models to fully gauge the potential impact on Stellantis' market share.


Stellantis Reports Q1 2024 Net Revenues and Shipments
Reflecting New Product Transition

  • Net revenues of €41.7 billion, down 12% compared to Q1 2023 primarily due to volume, mix and foreign exchange headwinds, partly offset by firm net pricing
  • Consolidated shipments(1) of 1,335 thousand units, down 10%, reflecting production actions and inventory management to prepare for new product wave in H2 2024 compared with strong shipments in Q1 2023 to build inventory following a prolonged period of supply constraints
  • Total new vehicle inventory of 1,393 thousand units (Company inventory of 423 thousand units) at March 31, 2024, reflecting improving level and structure versus December 2023
  • Global BEV and LEV sales increased by 8% and 13%, respectively, versus Q1 2023; ongoing global focus with new BEVs launching throughout 2024
  • Ordinary dividend of €1.55 per share (16% increase versus prior year) approved at AGM to be paid to shareholders on May 3, 2024
  • €3.0 billion share buyback on track for 2024 completion
"While Q1 2024 year-over-year shipments and Net revenues comparisons were difficult due to transitions in our next generation product portfolio manufactured on new platforms, we are delivering clear improvements in key commercial dynamics with customer sales outpacing shipments. We are reducing inventories to reinforce our strong relative pricing ahead of our new or mid-cycle product launches this year in key regions. During Q1 2024, we have introduced four new models out of our full-year launch plan of 25 models, including 18 BEV nameplates, which we believe sets the stage for materially improved growth and profitability in the second half of the year."
