Stellantis (NYSE: STLA) has dropped a bombshell, releasing preliminary, unaudited financials for the first half of 2025 that paint a grim picture. The auto giant, grappling with headwinds on multiple fronts, reported €74.3B in net revenues, but swung to a net loss of €2.3B. Industrial free cash flows were also deeply negative, hitting -€3.0B. Q2 2025 global consolidated shipments slumped 6% year-over-year to 1.4M units, signaling broader struggles.
Key drivers behind the disappointing results include a hefty €3.3B in pre-tax net charges tied to program cancellations, platform impairments, and restructuring initiatives. North American operations took a particularly hard hit, with Q2 shipments cratering 25% y-o-y. Enlarged Europe wasn’t spared either, seeing a 6% decline. However, some bright spots emerged in other regions, with Middle East & Africa surging 30% and South America growing by 20%.
The company’s bottom line was further squeezed by elevated industrial costs, unfavorable geographic mix, and a €0.3B punch from U.S. tariff-related expenses.
Positive
Growth in emerging markets with Middle East & Africa up 30% and South America up 20%
Jeep and Ram brands collectively delivered 13% higher sales y-o-y in North America
Smart Car platform shipments increased 45% sequentially in Q2 2025
Maintained market leadership position in South America
Negative
Net loss of €2.3B in H1 2025
Negative industrial free cash flows of €3.0B
Global shipments declined 6% y-o-y to 1.4M units in Q2
€3.3B in pre-tax net charges for program cancellations and impairments
North American shipments dropped 25% y-o-y in Q2
€0.3B impact from US tariffs plus related production disruptions
Stellantis reports concerning preliminary H1 2025 results with €2.3B net loss, plummeting profit margins, and major operational challenges.
Stellantis has released concerning preliminary H1 2025 figures showing a €2.3 billion net loss and dramatically reduced Adjusted Operating Income of just €0.5 billion, a severe deterioration from the company’s historical performance. The preliminary data indicates major operational challenges across multiple fronts, with negative cash flows from operations at -€2.3 billion and industrial free cash flow at -€3.0 billion.
The company identified several factors behind this poor performance, including €3.3 billion in pre-tax charges related to program cancellations, platform impairments, and restructuring costs. US tariffs have created a €0.3 billion direct financial impact plus additional losses from production disruptions. Q2 consolidated shipments declined by 6% year-over-year to 1.4 million units, with North America particularly hard-hit, showing a 25% drop in shipments.
These results reflect both external pressures and internal challenges, including product transition issues in Europe. The company appears to be in a precarious position, with the negative cash flow particularly troubling as it indicates the company is burning through capital while attempting to navigate multiple challenges. The €74.3 billion in net revenues demonstrates the company still has significant scale, but profitability has essentially evaporated with the AOI margin now below 1%.
Notably, the suspension of financial guidance on April 30, 2025, already signaled potential problems, but these preliminary figures confirm the severity of the situation. The company is banking on new products in H2 2025 to improve performance, but the current figures represent a significant deviation from analyst expectations, which explains the unusual preliminary release ahead of the scheduled July 29 full financial report.

Stellantis Publishes Preliminary and Unaudited Key Figures for First Half 2025
* Q2 2025 Estimated Global Consolidated Shipments of 1.4 Million Units, -6% y-o-y
AMSTERDAM, July 21, 2025 – Stellantis N.V. is publishing today certain preliminary and unaudited financial information for the First Half of 2025, in addition to its global quarterly consolidated shipment estimates and commentary on related trends.
In the absence of financial guidance, which was suspended by the Company on April 30, 2025, financial analyst consensus forecasts currently constitute the primary metric for market expectations. The disclosure of the following preliminary financial data for the First Half 2025 is intended to address the difference between these analyst consensus forecasts and the Company’s performance for the period.
Preliminary financial information for the First Half 2025(2):
First Half 2025
Estimate (€B)
Net revenues
€74.3
Net loss
(€2.3)
Adjusted operating income(3)
€0.5
Cash Flows from operating activities
(€2.3)
Industrial free cash flows(4)
(€3.0)
The following factors had a significant impact on results in the first half of 2025:
* The early stage of actions being taken to improve performance and profitability, with new products expected to deliver larger benefits in the Second Half of 2025
* Approximately €3.3 billion of pre-tax net charges, primarily related to program cancellation costs and platform impairments, net impact of the recent legislation eliminating the CAFE penalty rate, and restructuring, which are excluded from Adjusted Operating Income(3) consistent with the Company’s definition of AOI
* Adverse impacts to AOI from higher industrial costs, geographic and other mix factors, and changes in foreign exchange rates
* The early effects of US tariffs – €0.3 billion of net tariffs incurred as well as loss of planned production related to implementation of the Company’s response plan
Financial results for the First Half 2025 will be released as scheduled on July 29, 2025 and a call will be hosted on that day by CEO Antonio Filosa and CFO Doug Ostermann.
Global consolidated shipment volumes for the Second Quarter of 2025:
Stellantis today also publishes its consolidated shipment estimates. The term “shipments” describes the volume of vehicles delivered to dealers, distributors, or directly from the Company to retail and fleet customers, which drive revenue recognition.
Consolidated shipments for the three months ending June 30, 2025, were an estimated 1.4 million units, representing a 6% decline y-o-y, reflecting North American tariff related production pauses early in the quarter, in addition to reduced, but adverse impacts of product transition in Enlarged Europe, where several important nameplates are either in the ramp-up phase after recent launches, or awaiting production launches scheduled for the second half of 2025.

* In North America, Q2 shipments declined approximately 109 thousand units compared to the same period in 2024, representing a 25% y-o-y decline, due to factors including the reduced manufacture and shipments of imported vehicles, most impacted by tariffs, and lower fleet channel sales. Total sales declined 10% y-o-y, with U.S. retail sales relatively flat, and with the region’s two largest brands, Jeep® and Ram, collectively delivering 13% higher sales y-o-y.
* Enlarged Europe Q2 shipments declined approximately 50 thousand units, representing a 6% y-o-y decline, due primarily to product transition factors. The recently-launched “Smart Car” platform B-segment vehicles continue to ramp up to their full production levels, and prior year comparisons are affected by the hiatus of Fiat 500 ICE pending the arrival of its mild-hybrid successor. Shipments of the four Smart Cars (Citroën C3 and C3 Aircross, Opel/Vauxhall Frontera and Fiat Grande Panda) increased 45% sequentially in the Q2 2025 period, or 25 thousand units, compared to the Q1 2025 period.
* Across Stellantis’ other regions, shipments grew 71 thousand units in aggregate, representing a 22% increase y-o-y, mainly driven by a 30% increase in Middle East & Africa and a 20% increase in South America. In Middle East & Africa shipments were up 29 thousand units, mainly driven by increased volumes in Türkiye and positive developments in Egypt, Algeria and Morocco. Stellantis continues its leadership in South America, with a 43 thousand unit y-o-y increase benefiting from higher industry volumes, especially in Argentina and Brazil.

NOTES
1. Consolidated shipments only include shipments by Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, which represent new vehicles invoiced to third party (dealers/importers or final customers). Consolidated shipment volumes for Q2 2025 presented here are unaudited and may be adjusted.
2. Final figures will be provided in our H1 2025 Results. Analysts should interpret these numbers with the understanding that they are preliminary and subject to change.
3. Adjusted Operating Income/(Loss) excludes from Net profit/(loss) adjustments comprising restructuring and other termination costs, impairments, asset write-offs, disposals of investments and unusual operating income/(expense) that are considered rare or discrete events and are infrequent in nature, as inclusion of such items is not considered to be indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance, and also excludes Net financial expenses/(income) and Tax expense/(benefit). Unusual operating income/(expense) are impacts from strategic decisions, as well as events considered rare or discrete and infrequent in nature, as inclusion of such items is not considered to be indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Unusual operating income/(expense) includes, but may not be limited to: impacts from strategic decisions to rationalize Stellantis’ core operations; facility-related costs stemming from Stellantis’ plans to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand, and convergence and integration costs directly related to significant acquisitions or mergers.
Adjusted Operating Income/(Loss) Margin is calculated as Adjusted operating income/(loss) divided by Net revenues
(4) Industrial Free Cash Flows is our key cash flow metric and is calculated as Cash flows from operating activities less: (i) cash flows from operating activities from discontinued operations; (ii) cash flows from operating activities related to financial services, net of eliminations; (iii) investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for industrial activities, (iv) contributions of equity to joint ventures and minor acquisitions of consolidated subsidiaries and equity method and other investments; and adjusted for: (i) net intercompany payments between continuing operations and discontinued operations; (ii) proceeds from disposal of assets and (iii) contributions to defined benefit pension plans, net of tax. The timing of Industrial free cash flows may be affected by the timing of monetization of receivables, factoring and the payment of accounts payables, as well as changes in other components of working capital, which can vary from period to period due to, among other things, cash management initiatives and other factors, some of which may be outside of the Company’s control. In addition Industrial free cash flows is one of the metrics used in the determination of the annual performance for eligible employees, including members of the Senior Management.
