Consolidated revenues amounted to €2,828 million compared to €2,806 million in Q1 2025. Net revenues of Industrial Activities were €2,766 million compared to €2,736 million in Q1 2025, mainly due to higher volumes in Bus, partially offset by negative volume in Truck in South America and an adverse foreign exchange rate impact.
Adjusted EBIT loss was €55 million compared to an Adjusted EBIT of €117 million in Q1 2025, with a negative margin of 1.9% (positive 4.2% in Q1 2025). Adjusted EBIT loss of Industrial Activities was €90 million (€82 million profit in Q1 2025), mainly driven by unfavorable production costs due to strengthened quality focus across businesses and rework costs in Bus. Adjusted EBIT margin of Industrial Activities was negative 3.3% (positive 3.0% in Q1 2025).
Adjusted net loss was €74 million compared to an adjusted net income of €60 million in Q1 2025, and adjusted diluted earnings per share was a loss of €0.28 (adjusted diluted earnings per share of €0.22 in Q1 2025). Q1 2026 Adjusted net loss did not include the net gain of €1,254 million on the sale of Defence business, included in the profit from Discontinued Operations, net of tax.
Net financial expenses amounted to €43 million compared to €37 million in Q1 2025 due to lower interest income in Türkiye and Brazil.
Reported income tax benefit of €36 million, deriving from a loss before taxes of €152 million, with an adjusted Effective Tax Rate (adjusted ETR) of 24% in Q1 2026, which reflects the different tax rates applied in the jurisdictions where the Group operates and some other discrete items.
Free cash flow of Industrial Activities was negative at €681 million compared to negative €847 million in Q1 2025, mainly driven by lower working capital absorption.
Available liquidity was €5,498 million as of 31st March 2026, before the extraordinary interim dividend distribution of €1,551 million, occurred on 22nd April 2026, on the net proceeds from the sale of Defence business. Available liquidity also included €1,900 million of undrawn committed facilities.
