Porsche Achieves Record Figures For Deliveries, Revenue And Profit

15 March 2014 By Danny

Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG continued its success in the fiscal year 2013 and achieved record figures for deliveries, revenue and profit.

Porsche Achieves Record Figures For Deliveries, Revenue And Profit

At 162,145 vehicles, deliveries were 15 per cent higher than the prior-year figure. Revenue climbed by three per cent to 14.3 billion euro. Operating profit rose by six percent to 2.58 billion euro. Headcount also reached its highest ever level, with an increase of 11 percent to 19,456 employees as of year-end.

At the Porsche AG annual press conference in Stuttgart today, CEO Matthias Müller emphasised that the sports car manufacturer “had not only continued to grow profitably, but had also done full justice to its role as technological leader by developing new technologies and launching fascinating products.”

In the fiscal year 2013, Porsche became the first company to present a plug-in-hybrid vehicle in the luxury class, the Panamera S E-Hybrid, as well as the first super sports car with high-performance plug-in hybrid drive, the 918 Spyder. In addition, Porsche unveiled the first sports car in the compact SUV segment, the Macan. Müller stressed that “with these vehicles, we have laid the foundation for continued future success” and added that “they were also a factor in making 2013 the most successful year in the company’s history.”

At the conference in Stuttgart, Lutz Meschke, member of the Porsche AG executive board in charge of finance and IT, emphasised that the sports car manufacturer’s “healthy cost structure and the long-term high earnings power were reflected in an operating return on sales of 18 per cent”.

Furthermore, the CFO highlighted that the net liquidity of the automotive division – i.e. its gross liquidity less financial liabilities and excluding the financial services business – improved significantly from minus 1.87 billion euro as of 31 December 2012 to minus 899 million euro as of 31 December 2013.

Meschke continued: “This brings us another big step closer to achieving our medium-term goal of re-paying our debt in full while financing growth from our cash flows from operating activities.”

At the press conference, Matthias Müller and Lutz Meschke expressed their conviction that Porsche AG will continue to grow in the current fiscal year 2014. In the first two months of the year, worldwide deliveries increased by three per cent to 23,286 vehicles. According to CEO Müller, “this positive trend will intensify in the course of 2014 and the market launch of the Macan in April will further increase the company’s sales.”

CFO Meschke added that the launch of the Macan entailed higher personnel costs and depreciation charges and that Porsche would also have to make considerable advance outlays on modern drive concepts in order to meet more stringent future emission standards worldwide. Meschke said that, despite this, “we are ideally equipped for the current fiscal year. Assuming that, despite unresolved structural issues, sales in Europe continue to stabilise, our goal in 2014 is to again achieve operating profit at least on a par with that of the prior year.”
