In its Automotive division, Volkswagen significantly exceeded the forecast for net cash flow and net liquidity for 2025 that was lowered in September.
The DAX group said this was primarily due to lower funds tied up in working capital and lower than expected investments in property, plant and equipment and research and development.
Based on preliminary figures, VW achieved a net cash flow of around 6 billion euros in the automobile sector in the 2025 financial year, after 5.0 billion euros in the previous year. As a result, net liquidity rose to more than 34 billion euros as of the balance sheet date of December 31, 2025, compared to 31.0 billion at the end of September. The group had recently expected values of around 0 billion euros for net cash flow and around 30 billion euros for net liquidity.
In September, VW had to record billions of euros in charges due to the realignment of the model range with new combustion cars at Porsche. That is why the group had canceled the return forecast for 2025 as well as the two forecasts for automobiles.
The consolidated financial statements for 2025 will be published on March 10, 2026.
In XETRA trading, VW shares ultimately climbed by 6.51 percent to 105.30 euros on Thursday.
