Schaeffler AG published its interim financial report for the first half of 2026. The company generated 11,667 million euros in revenue, which was at the prior-year level (prior year: 11,845 million euros). At constant currency, revenue grew by 0.4 percent. Its diversified structure as a Motion Technology Company with four product-oriented divisions enabled the Schaeffler Group to offset declining market trends in certain segments with growth in other areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At group level, the Americas (0.9 percent) and Asia\/Pacific (7.1 percent) regions increased their revenue at constant currency during the reporting period. Europe (-0.5 percent) and Greater China (-3.7 percent) region revenue was below prior year at constant currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Schaeffler Group generated 549 million euros in EBIT before special items in the first six months of the year (prior year: 482 million euros). This represents an EBIT margin before special items of 4.7 percent (prior year: 4.1 percent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDespite a persistently challenging and rapidly changing global environment, the Schaeffler Group maintained its revenue at the prior-year level in the first half of 2026 and generated good earnings. Key to this is our diverse structure as a Motion Technology Company with four product-oriented divisions and our new growth areas. Especially in the areas of humanoid robotics and defense, we have continued to achieve good progress during the reporting period. As an integrated technology group, we are able to respond flexibly to dynamic market developments and to largely offset their impact within our portfolio. We confirm our full-year guidance for 2026,\u201d says Klaus Rosenfeld, CEO of Schaeffler AG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
E-Mobility \u2013 Improved operating performance EBIT before special items for the first six months of the year amounted to -402 million euros (prior year: -463 million euros), representing an improvement in EBIT margin before special items to -15.6 percent (prior year: -19.3 percent). This improvement from the prior-year period was primarily powered by the impact of volumes as well as improved operating performance at the production plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Powertrain & Chassis \u2013 Robust earnings The division generated 473 million euros in EBIT before special items during the first six months of the year (prior year: 520 million euros). It was particularly the impact of volumes that led to an EBIT margin before special items of 11.1 percent, slightly below the level of the prior year (prior year: 11.6 percent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vehicle Lifetime Solutions \u2013 Earnings contribution increased further EBIT before special items for the reporting period amounted to 248 million euros (prior year: 239 million euros), representing an EBIT margin before special items of 15.5 percent (prior year: 14.7 percent). The improvement from the first half of 2025 was primarily due to the impact of prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bearings & Industrial Solutions \u2013 EBIT margin improved considerably EBIT before special items for the reporting period amounted to 286 million euros (prior year: 251 million euros). The increase was mainly attributable to improved operating performance, especially at the production plants. The EBIT margin before special items amounted to 9.0 percent (prior year: 7.8 percent).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Schaeffler AG published its interim financial report for the first half of 2026.

<\/strong>E-Mobility division revenue increased by 7.7 percent at constant currency to 2,578 million euros during the reporting period (prior year: 2,405 million euros). This performance was primarily powered by product ramp-ups in the Asia\/Pacific and Europe regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Powertrain & Chassis division revenue for the reporting period declined by 3.4 percent at constant currency to 4,247 million euros (prior year: 4,501 million euros), largely due to the impact of strategically streamlining the portfolio. The persistently weak market environment for internal combustion engine technology, particularly in the Greater China and Europe regions, contributed to this trend as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Vehicle Lifetime Solutions division revenue of 1,601 million euros for the first half of 2026 was approximately flat with prior year at constant currency (prior year: 1,621 million euros). A favorable impact of prices counteracted the impact of volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>In a still challenging market environment, the Bearings & Industrial Solutions division increased its revenue by 1.0 percent year-on-year at constant currency to 3,181 million euros (prior year: 3,237 million euros). Aerospace and Industrial Bearings were among the business divisions providing favorable momentum for growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
