Mercedes-Benz Group AG Reports Solid cash generation and shareholder returns

12 Feb Mercedes-Benz Group AG Reports Solid cash generation and shareholder returns

(Oilandgaspress) -] Mercedes-Benz Group delivered annual results within guidance, supported by sales of Top-End Vehicles and rigorous cost discipline, driving cash generation and enabling the company to navigate a complex and dynamic global landscape in 2025. Top‑End cars reached 15% of overall sales for Mercedes-Benz Cars in 2025. Leveraging this solid foundation, 140 years after Carl Benz registered his patent for the first motor car, Mercedes-Benz is accelerating the rollout of new products to drive future growth.

Mercedes‑Benz successfully kicked off 2025 with the all‑new CLA and closed the year with the presentation of the all‑new GLB — both entry points into the Mercedes‑Benz brand — as well as the all‑new GLC, a key core segment vehicle. The all-new CLA’s recognition as Europe’s “Car of the Year 2026” and the award of Euro NCAP’s “Best Performer” among vehicles tested in 2025 underlines its competitive strength. All three vehicles set the pace in their respective segments as part of a campaign to introduce more than 40 new models by 2027. All models have received exceptional market feedback, with order books filled well into the second half of 2026 and production running on three shifts to meet high demand, which helped drive a strong sequential uplift in quarterly BEV volumes.

Mercedes-Benz also unveiled a significant upgrade to its flagship S-Class, including a comprehensive powertrain update with a new V8 and the Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS), extending the technology rollout further into Mercedes-Benz’s Top-End vehicles and ICE segments. For elevated intelligence, the new S‑Class features an updateable MB.OS Supercomputer and fourth-generation MBUX and MB.DRIVE ASSIST PRO point‑to‑point assisted driving, first in China, followed by the U.S. later in 2026.

2025 results
Mercedes-Benz Group delivered adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of €8.2 billion (2024: €13.7 billion). Group revenues came in at €132.2 billion (2024: €145.6 billion). The free cash flow of the industrial business reached €5.4 billion (2024: €9.2 billion), mainly due to positive effects from lighter inventories and negative effects from net investments in property, plant & equipment and intangible assets. The net liquidity of the industrial business stood at €32.2 billion (end of 2024: €31.4 billion).
