Michelin Reports Decline in First-Half 2025 Earnings

Compagnie Generale des Etablissements Michelin SCA Unsponsored ADR ( (MGDDY) ) has released its Q2 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Compagnie Generale des Etablissements Michelin SCA Unsponsored ADR presented to its investors.

Compagnie Generale des Etablissements Michelin SCA, commonly known as Michelin, is a leading tire manufacturer based in France, specializing in the production and distribution of tires for various vehicles, including passenger cars, trucks, and specialty vehicles, as well as offering polymer composite solutions. In its latest earnings report for the first half of 2025, Michelin reported a 3.4% decline in sales to €13,028 million compared to the same period in 2024. This decline was primarily driven by a 6.1% drop in tire volumes, offset partially by a favorable price-mix effect and growth in non-tire sales. The company faced challenges in the Original Equipment segment across all regions except China, where government incentives bolstered demand. Despite these challenges, Michelin maintained its strategic focus on high-value products and segments, such as 18-inch and larger tires, which contributed positively to the price-mix effect. The company’s operating income decreased by 23.6% to €1,200 million, reflecting lower sales volumes and increased raw material costs. Looking ahead, Michelin remains committed to its strategic priorities, focusing on technological leadership and expanding its presence in high-growth segments, while navigating the ongoing economic uncertainties.
