Stellantis reported mixed financial results for the first half of 2024, with net revenues of €85.0 billion, down 14% compared to H1 2023. The company's net profit decreased by 48% to €5.6 billion, primarily due to lower volume and mix, foreign exchange headwinds, and restructuring costs. Adjusted operating income (AOI) fell to €8.5 billion, with an AOI margin of 10%.

Despite challenges, Stellantis is taking decisive actions to address operational issues, particularly in North America. The company plans over 20 product launches in 2024, including the refreshed Ram 1500 and new Peugeot 3008. Stellantis has also received approvals to launch the Leapmotor International JV, expanding its presence in key markets.

The company returned €6.7 billion to shareholders in H1 2024 and remains committed to returning at least €7.7 billion by year-end. Industrial free cash flows were near zero (-€0.4 billion) but are expected to improve in the second half of the year.

Stellantis ha riportato risultati finanziari misti per la prima metà del 2024, con entrate nette di 85,0 miliardi di euro, in calo del 14% rispetto al primo semestre del 2023. L'utile netto dell'azienda è diminuito del 48% a 5,6 miliardi di euro, principalmente a causa di un volume e mix inferiori, fluttuazioni dei cambi e costi di ristrutturazione.

Nonostante le sfide, Stellantis sta intraprendendo azioni decisive per affrontare i problemi operativi, in particolare in Nord America.

Malgré les défis, Stellantis prend des mesures décisives pour résoudre les problèmes opérationnels, notamment en Amérique du Nord.

Insights

Stellantis' first-half 2024 results paint a complex picture of a company in transition. The 14% decline in net revenues to €85.0 billion and 48% drop in net profit to €5.6 billion are significant, primarily attributed to volume and mix challenges. However, the 10% AOI margin demonstrates resilience in cost management.

The near-zero industrial free cash flow (-€0.4 billion) is concerning, but management's expectation of positive full-year cash flow suggests potential improvement in H2. The 3% reduction in total inventory is a positive sign of supply chain management, important in the current market.

Stellantis' product strategy, with over 20 launches planned for 2024, including the refreshed Ram 1500 and new Peugeot 3008, could be pivotal in addressing market share challenges, particularly in North America. The Leapmotor International JV approval also opens new market opportunities.

The €6.7 billion capital return, including an accelerated €3.0 billion share buyback, signals confidence in long-term prospects despite short-term headwinds. However, investors should closely monitor the company's ability to navigate this transition year and deliver on its product strategy to reverse the decline in financial performance.

Stellantis' H1 2024 results reflect the challenges faced by global automakers in a rapidly evolving market. The company's focus on a "product-led transition" is crucial, given the industry's shift towards electrification and advanced technologies.

The planned launch of over 20 new models in 2024 is ambitious and necessary. The refreshed Ram 1500 is particularly important for the North American market, where Stellantis has faced share and inventory challenges. The new Peugeot 3008, built on the STLA platform, will be a litmus test for the company's new vehicle architecture strategy.

The Leapmotor International JV is a strategic move to expand in the EV market, especially in regions like Europe and South America. This could help Stellantis catch up in the EV race, where it has lagged behind some competitors.

However, the 14% decline in net revenues and inventory challenges suggest that Stellantis is still grappling with market dynamics and possibly supply chain issues. The company's ability to execute its product strategy efficiently while managing costs will be critical in the coming quarters.

Stellantis' H1 2024 performance reveals significant market challenges, particularly in North America. The company's acknowledgment of "operational challenges, including North American share and inventory performance" suggests a loss of market position in this important region.

The 3% reduction in total inventory to 1,408 thousand units is a step in the right direction, but it may not be aggressive enough given the revenue decline. This could indicate a mismatch between production and demand, potentially leading to pricing pressures.

The planned launch of over 20 new models in 2024 is ambitious and could help address market share issues. However, the success of these launches will depend on consumer reception and the company's ability to manage production ramp-up effectively.

The Leapmotor International JV approval is a positive development, potentially opening new markets for Stellantis' EV offerings. The phased rollout across different regions (Europe, South America, Middle East & Africa, India & Asia Pacific) suggests a cautious but strategic approach to global EV expansion.

Overall, while Stellantis is taking steps to address its challenges, the company's ability to execute its product strategy and improve operational efficiency will be important in regaining market momentum.
