Schaeffler AG Reports Increased Profitability for H1 2026

Schaeffler AG has posted its interim financial results for H1 2026, revealing a maintained revenue of €11.7 billion amid challenging conditions, reflecting a 0.4% growth at constant currency. Despite a tough market landscape, the company's strategy as a Motion Technology Company allowed it to balance market declines with opportunities in different segments.

The reported EBIT margin before special items rose to 4.7% from the previous year's 4.1%, highlighting robust earnings especially in E-Mobility, Powertrain & Chassis, and Bearings & Industrial Solutions divisions. E-Mobility revenue notably increased by 7.7% at constant currency, led by product ramp-ups in Asia/Pacific and Europe.

While free cash flow stood at -€300 million due to restructuring expenses, Schaeffler confirmed its outlook for 2026, expecting revenue between €22.5 billion and €24.5 billion and an EBIT margin before special items of 3.5-5.5%.
