Overview

  • Renault’s adjusted net profit declined 69% year-on-year to €461 million in the first half of 2025.
  • An €11.2 billion accounting charge tied to its separation from Nissan drove the group to a first-half net loss.
  • Revenue rose 2.5% to €27.6 billion, but operating margin slipped to 6% from 8.1% on weaker utility-vehicle sales and a higher share of electric models.
  • Management has launched an expanded cost-reduction programme targeting administrative, production and R&D expenses alongside a second wave of new model launches in the second half.
  • As part of its stability drive, Renault has frozen hiring across all brands and countries until December 31, 2025, to conserve cash and support its margin targets.
