Renault Group upgrades its 2023 financial outlook

Given the current level of performance of the Group, which is above initial expectations, Renault Group upgrades its financial outlook for the full year 2023 and expects: 

• a Group operating margin between 7% and 8% (versus superior or equal to 6% previously)
• an Automotive operational free cash flow superior or equal to €2.5 billion (versus superior or equal to €2 billion previously)

This improvement is mainly driven by the quality of the sales mix thanks to the success of our new launches and to our commercial policy focused on value.

Renault Group expects for the first half of 2023:

• a Group operating margin superior to 7%
• an Automotive operational free cash flow around €1.5 billion (including €600 million of Mobilize Financial Services dividends)

“Renault Group reaches record levels of performance. These results are the outcome of our strategy focused on value and of the unwavering commitment of the teams, over the last 3 years for Renaulution which is transforming the Group in depth. Thus, Renault Group upgrades its financial outlook for the year, thanks to the continuous efforts to reduce costs and to the unprecedented product offensive in the Group’s history. This product offensive, across all our brands, has only just begun and will further improve the Group's performance, while leading a unique transformation to become the Next Gen automotive company.” said Luca de Meo, CEO of Renault Group

Renault Group will release its first half results on July 27, 2023.
