Compagnie Generale des Etablissements Michelin SCA Unsponsored ADR, commonly known as Michelin, is a leading tire manufacturer in the automotive industry, renowned for its innovative tire solutions and global presence across multiple market segments.
In its latest earnings report for 2024, Michelin reported a segment operating income of €3.4 billion and generated a free cash flow of €2.2 billion, demonstrating resilience in uncertain market conditions. Despite challenges in tire volumes, the company maintained a robust operating margin at 12.6% due to strong product mix improvements.
Key financial highlights include €27.2 billion in sales, a positive mix effect, and a slight decline in net income to €1.9 billion. The company saw a 5.1% decrease in tire volumes due to reduced original equipment demand and intense competition. Despite these challenges, Michelin’s market position improved in segments such as high-end passenger car tires and mining tires. Operating margins in segments like automotive and two-wheel tires remained strong, driven by a focus on premium products.
Looking ahead, Michelin anticipates slight growth in tire markets in 2025, with expectations to improve segment operating income at constant exchange rates and generate over €1.7 billion in free cash flow. The company remains committed to its ‘Michelin in Motion 2030’ strategy, aiming for sustainable growth and innovation in its core and emerging business segments.
