Brand group: Joint goals and synergy potentials in high nine-figure range
In the challenging fiscal year of 2021, Audi once again put its strengths to the test.
The Audi Group achieved all-time highs in operating profit and net cash flow.
Revenue last year was around 53 billion euros. Operating profit reached 5.5 billion euros,
while operating return on sales amounted to 10.4 percent. The Audi Group’s high
net cash flow of 7.8 billion euros attests to its strong ability to self-finance.
In addition to active management of the semiconductor scarcity and strict
cost discipline, other drivers of the positive earnings performance included
good pricing positions, strong residual values, the good performance of
Lamborghini and Ducati and tailwinds from raw material rating and currency
effects. At the same time, Audi resolutely continued its transformational course
and increased deliveries of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) by 57.5 percent.
The concrete effects of the war in Ukraine on the Audi Group’s business cannot
yet conclusively be estimated.
