Schaeffler: Embracing the Electrified Future
E-Mobility Progression Persists According to Schaeffler - Electrification in Motion: Schaeffler Embraces Electric Mobility
Say goodbye to traditional engines, Schaeffler's CEO Klaus Rosenberg is backing electric mobility to the hilt! In a chat with the German Press Agency, he revealed an impressive 3 billion euros worth of orders in Q1 for the e-mobility segment, a staggering record after the Vitesco merger. But, despite the record-breaking numbers, Schaeffler's electric business is still an elusive profit maker, reporting a pre-tax loss of 268 million euros in Q1.
E-Mobility's Bumpy Ride to Profit
Buchung verschoben – Der Vorstandsvorsitzende des Automotive- und Industrienings-Herstellers Schaeffler, Klaus Rosenberg, gibt positive Zeichen für die Elektromobilität. "Es gibt signale, dass etwas passiert," sagte der Chef in einem Interview bei der Deutschen Presse-Agentur. Scheffler hat in der ersten Periode den Auftragswert von drei Milliarden Euro für diese Segmente erhalten. Das ist ein Rekord, jedoch auch die erste Periode, die nach der Fusion mit dem Elektrifizierungsspezialisten Vitesco ist.
Profit Loss Jetzt stehe Schaeffler immer noch prognostiziert stark in der roten Nummer. Das Schwarze liegt damit in der Erwartung, dass es noch Verluste gibt. In der ersten Periode ist der elektrische Gewinn um 7.8 Prozent auf 1,174 Milliarden Euro gestiegen, mit eine Prä-Steuerausschüttung, Prä-Zinsen und Prä-Sonderausgaben Verlust von 268 Millionen Euro.
All in all, Schaeffler's first-quarter sales dipped by 3.5 percent year-on-year to 5.9 billion euros. Pre-tax, pre-interest, and pre-special-items profit fell from 287 million euros in the previous year's quarter to 276 million euros. "Unser Umfeld bleibt eine gefährliche und unsichere Umgebung", sagte Rosenfeld.
