However, the Group's operating result stood at -8,404 million euros in the first half of 2025.

Renault Group's factories maintained a high average utilization rate, around 90%, and the Group managed its inventory strictly. The Group also demonstrated a rigorous approach to residual values, with values that are 4 to 13 points above European peers. Renault Group continues to prioritize value creation over volumes to protect the residual values of its vehicles.

The net result, Group share, was -11,185 million euros (or -40.90 euros per share) in the first half of 2025. At constant exchange rates, the Group's turnover increased by 3.6%. The Group's factories have a high average utilization rate, around 90%.
