Volkswagen Group’s Q3 result down year-on-year due to semiconductor bottlenecks – profitability target for 2021 confirmed

  • Operating profit before special items in Q3 down 12.1 percent to EUR 2.8 billion compared with the pandemic-related weak prior-year figure, due to supply issues; operating return on sales at 4.9 percent, down from 5.4 percent
  • Volume brand group posts operating losses in Q3, China business disproportionately affected by the semiconductor situation despite strong demand
  • Automotive Division’s adjusted net cash flow in Q3 slightly positive at EUR 33 million and robust at EUR 12.4 billion after nine months
  • Operating profit before special items still solid through September at EUR 14.2 billion due to the strong first half; operating return on sales of 7.6 percent
