Our results for the first nine months of 2024 show that SEAT S.A. achieved an operating profit of 415 million euros between January and September 2024. These results were 17.2% lower than for the same period of the previous year (501 million euros), due mainly to the challenging economic environment affecting the global automotive industry. Furthermore, 2024 has been a pivotal year for the company, marked by substantial investment to support several major launches for the CUPRA brand’s range of BEVs and PHEVs as the company drives forward on its transformation toward electrification. Here's a summary of the other key figures: 🔸  Sales revenue reached 10.5 billion euros, down -3.0% compared to the same period in 2023, while operating return on sales reached 3.9% (-0.7 p.p.) 🔸  CUPRA completed the best nine months of its history, with 179,100 cars delivered, up +5.3% compared to Jan-Sep 2023 🔸 The SEAT brand remains on the path of growth with 242,900 deliveries, an increase of 9.6% As we head into the final quarter of the year, we expect to face further challenges. However, with a clear focus on our strategic priorities and two strong, resilient brands, we are committed to sustaining robust operating profits and returns on sales, driving us towards a sustainable and profitable future for SEAT S.A.
