Patrick KOLLER, Chief Executive Officer of FORVIA, declared:
“The third quarter marked a new step towards FORVIA’s POWER25 objectives.
The Group maintained strong organic growth and outperformed automotive production across all Business Groups and Regions, in an environment that remains volatile and characterized by new risks, such as the evolution of the UAW strike in the US that started in September.
Our order intake is robust and continues to support the Group’s future profitability growth and cash generation.
During the quarter, we have successfully completed our one-billion euros asset disposal program with the closing of the three remaining transactions.
In a context of persistent inflation and high interest rates, we announce today the launch of an additional one-billion euros disposal program to accelerate the reduction of our debt and financial expenses. This new program will further strengthen and simplify our portfolio and, along with continuous improvement in cash flow generation from operations, accelerate the Group’s deleveraging beyond the POWER25 objective.”
- The Board of Directors, under the chairmanship of Michel de ROSEN, met on October 18 and reviewed the present press release.
- All financial terms used in this press release are explained at the end of this document, under the section “Definitions of terms used in this document”.
- IFRS 5 – Discontinued operations
Faurecia’s SAS Cockpit Modules division (assembly and logistics services), that was part of the “Interiors” Business Group and whose disposal was announced on February 19, 2023 and now effective, is presented as Discontinued operations. Impacts on the Group’s 2022 consolidated figures are presented in Appendix, at the end of this document.
- All figures related to worldwide or regional automotive production refer to the S&P Global Mobility forecast dated October 2023.
ACCELERATING DELEVERAGING BEYOND THE POWER25 OBJECTIVE
Completion in Q3 of the €1bn disposal program executed according to plan and with good valuations
On October 2, FORVIA closed the sale of its commercial vehicle aftertreatment business in Europe and North America to Cummins, thus reaching the last step to close in due time the execution of its disposal program announced in April 2022 and targeting €1 billion cash proceeds by end 2023.
This program was designed to reduce the Group’s debt, increased by the acquisition of a majority stake in HELLA, early February 2022.
It was achieved in less than 15 months and comprised of:
- c. 40% from operations related to non-consolidated joint ventures: the sale by HELLA of its 33% stake in HBPO to its co-shareholder Plastic Omnium (closed in 2022) and the entry of Stellantis into the capital of Symbio, previously held 50/50 with Michelin and now held in equal stake by the three companies (closed in Q3 2023),
- c. 60% from divestments of consolidated non-strategic assets to automotive industrial players: the sale of the Indian Interiors business to TAFE (closed in 2022), the sale of the SAS Cockpit Modules division to the Motherson group (closed in Q3 2023) and, lastly, the sale of the commercial vehicle aftertreatment business in Europe and North America to Cummins (closed on October 2).
These three consolidated non-strategic assets represented combined sales of c. €1.3 billion on an annual basis.
All operations carried out under this program have strengthened the Group’s focus on its strategic priorities and were executed with good valuations. Combined cash proceeds slightly exceeded the €1 billion target, with c. €320 million in 2022 and c. €700 million in 2023.
Launch of an additional €1bn disposal program to accelerate deleveraging
FORVIA announces today the launch of a new disposal program for €1 billion.
This program will further strengthen and simplify the Group’s portfolio, as well as accelerate deleveraging beyond the POWER25 objective.
In a context of interest rates that are expected to remain high for a longer period, this additional disposal program will contribute to significantly reduce debt and financial expense.
The expected impact of this program on the Group’s consolidated sales and EBITDA is limited.
The POWER25 objective of improvement in net cash flow generation to 4% of sales in 2025 will be achieved through operating leverage, synergies, capex and R&D control and inventory reduction.
The first step of this new program is the recently-announced disposal by HELLA of its 50% stake in BHTC, co-owned with MAHLE, for a total enterprise value of €600 million (€300 million for each of the two co-owners). The transaction is subject to approval by the relevant foreign trade and antitrust authorities and closing is expected to take place by mid-2024.
OTHER MAIN RECENT EVENTS
Effective end of the Michigan Seating operations for the Grand Wagoneer at the end of September, as planned
FORVIA and the Chinese carmaker CHERY join forces for smart cockpit development
- FORVIA and CHERY will jointly develop a smart cockpit software and a hardware platform integrating FORVIA’s products and technologies, to be integrated in CHERY vehicles and create an in-vehicle and out-vehicle systematic, integrative, and intelligent brand-new user experience.
- Both companies will establish ‘dual-carbon’ and ESG goals, jointly promoting green and sustainable development.
Inauguration in Allenjoie (France) of the first mass production plant of hydrogen storage tanks early October
- This plant will serve the automotive and hydrogen distribution & storage industries for the European market:
- Capacity of 100,000 tanks per annum by 2030
- Best-in-Class 4.0 industrial site
- FORVIA is the 1st automotive supplier in the world to have production footprint across major regions including Europe, China, South-Korea and soon in North America.
NINE-MONTH ORDER INTAKE OF €22 BILLION WITH AVERAGE PROFITABILITY ABOVE POWER25 OBJECTIVES
In Q3, FORVIA continued to record strong order intake, totaling €22 billion since the start of the year.
Order intake further reinforces the Group’s exposure to fast-growing segments and geographies:
- €5.0bn in China, representing 23% of the Group’s total order intake, mainly reflect the strengthening of the partnership with BYD and new awards with other Chinese OEMs. The share of Chinese OEMs within total China order intake rose from 53% of the 2022 first-nine months Group’s order intake to 65% in the same period in 2023,
- €5.6bn in Electronics, representing 26% of the Group’s total order intake, highlight the strength of HELLA’s portfolio of technologies,
- €10.5bn in Electric Vehicles (EVs + FCEVs), representing 48% of the Group’s total order intake, up 5 points compared to 2022,
- €11.1bn in Premium & SUVs, representing more than 51% of the Group’s, included major conquests across the regions.
Commercial selectivity in order intake will translate into improved financial metrics:
- The order intake recorded in the first nine months of 2023 has an average operating margin above the Group’s POWER25 objectives as well as above the order intake registered in the same period of 2022,
- Additionally, upfront investments related to this order intake is reduced by c. 20% vs. upfront investments registered in the same period of 2022.
Q3 2023 MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Worldwide automotive production in Q3 was up 3.7% at 22.3 million Light Vehicles (source: S&P dated October 2023)
In FORVIA’s main regions, trends were as follows:
- Europe (42% of Group sales in Q3): production was up 6.3% at 3.9 million LVs, on a low base of Q3 2022 impacted by the war in Ukraine,
- North America (25% of Group sales in Q3): production was up 9.3% at 4.0 million LVs,
- China (23% of Group sales in Q3): production was broadly flat (-0.3%) at 7.3 million LVs, on a high base of Q3 2022 that benefited from a catch-up effect from Covid impact in Q2 2022.
The UAW strike in the US that started in September was of very limited impact on Q3 2023 (c. €6 million of lost sales).
Based on the strike actions decided until today by the workers’ unions and on the measures implemented by its customers, FORVIA’s current best estimate for the impact on Group sales in October 2023 is about €55 million vs. FORVIA’s October 2022 sales in North America of c. €600 million (of which c. €300 million with Ford, GM and Stellantis).
Risks beyond October will depend on the evolution of the strike and cannot be estimated at this stage.
FORVIA has already implemented measures that will allow the Group to quickly react to any eventual intensification of the strike and mitigate as much as possible the impact on the Group’s profitability.

In Q3 2023, consolidated sales amounted to €6,528 million: +2.5% on a reported basis and +10.7% on an organic basis, representing an outperformance of 700bps
- Sales change included a significant negative currency effect of €524 million or -8.2% of last year’s sales, mainly due to the depreciation of the Chinese yuan, US dollar, Argentinian peso and Turkish lira vs. the euro.
- Organic growth amounted €683 million or +10.7% of last year’s sales, representing a strong outperformance of 700bps compared to worldwide automotive production that was up 3.7% during the period.
Out of the 700bps:
- c. +600bps came from volumes and regional mix,
- c. +100bps came from inflation pass-through.
Although discussions with some OEMs about inflation compensation remain tough, the Group confirms expecting to recover a higher percentage of inflation in H2 vs. H1. It now expects to reach at year-end c. 85% of cumulated inflation.
All Business Groups recorded a strong outperformance of at least c. 500bps.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THIS DOCUMENT
Sales growth
FORVIA’s year-on-year sales evolution is made of three components:
-
- A “Currency effect”, calculated by applying average currency rates for the period to the sales of the prior year,
- A “Scope effect” (acquisition/divestment),
- And “Growth at constant currencies”.
As “Scope effect”, FORVIA presents all acquisitions/divestments, whose sales on an annual basis amount to more than €250 million.
Other acquisitions below this threshold are considered as “bolt-on acquisitions” and are included in “Growth at constant currencies”.
In 2021, there was no effect from “bolt-on acquisitions”; as a result, “Growth at constant currencies” is equivalent to sales growth at constant scope and currencies also presented as organic growth.
Operating income
Operating income is the FORVIA group’s principal performance indicator. It corresponds to net income of fully consolidated companies before:
-
- Amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations.
- Other non-recurring operating income and expense, corresponding to material, unusual and non-recurring items including reorganization expenses and early retirement costs, the impact of exceptional events such as the discontinuation of a business, the closure or sale of an industrial site, disposals of non-operating buildings, impairment losses recorded for property, plant and equipment or intangible assets, as well as other material and unusual losses.
- Income on loans, cash investments and marketable securities; Finance costs.
- Other financial income and expense, which include the impact of discounting the pension benefit obligation and the return on related plan assets, the ineffective portion of interest rate and currency hedges, changes in value of interest rate and currency instruments for which the hedging relationship does not satisfy the criteria set forth in relationship cannot be demonstrated under IFRS 9, and gains and losses on sales of shares in subsidiaries.
- Taxes.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is Operating income as defined above + depreciation and amortization of assets; to be fully compliant with the ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) regulation, this term of “Adjusted EBITDA” will be used by the Group as of January 1, 2022 instead of the term “EBITDA” that was previously used (this means that “EBITDA” aggregates until 2021 are comparable with ‘Adjusted EBITDA” aggregates as from 2022).
Net cash flow
Net cash flow is defined as follow: Net cash from (used in) operating and investing activities less (acquisitions)/disposal of equity interests and businesses (net of cash and cash equivalents), other changes and proceeds from disposal of financial assets. Repayment of IFRS 16 debt is not included.
Net financial debt
Net financial debt is defined as follow: Gross financial debt less cash and cash equivalents and derivatives classified under non-current and current assets. It includes the lease liabilities (IFRS 16 debt).
