Porsche SE continues its path to become a diversified investment platform

• Adjusted group result after tax¹ of 0.5 billion euro
• Group net debt¹ of 5.3 billion euro within the forecast range
• Lutz Meschke, member of the board of management responsible for investment management: “We are concentrating on, but not limiting our investment focus to, the area of mobility and industrial technology.”

Stuttgart, 14 May 2025. Porsche Automobil Holding SE (“Porsche SE”) generated an adjusted group result after tax of 0.5 billion euro in the first three months of the fiscal year 2025 (prior year: 1.1 billion euro). This includes the result from the investments in Volkswagen AG and Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG (“Porsche AG”) accounted for at equity of 0.5 billion euro and 0.1 billion euro, respectively. The adjusted group result after tax of Porsche SE is affected by the current challenges faced by its two core investments. Non-cash impairment losses on the investments in Volkswagen AG and Porsche AG are not taken into account in the adjusted group result.

Net debt of the Porsche SE Group is within the forecast range. As expected, it increased as of 31 March 2025, largely due to investments and financing costs, to 5.3 billion euro compared to 5.2 billion euro as of 31 December 2024.

At the same time, Porsche SE continues its path to become a diversified investment platform. “We are constantly screening promising opportunities for additional portfolio investments and potential new core investments. This involves us concentrating on, but not limiting our investment focus to, the area of mobility and industrial technology,” says Lutz Meschke, member of the board of management responsible for investment management. 

In the segment of Porsche SE’s portfolio investments, the spaceflight start-up Isar Aerospace reached an important milestone in the first quarter of the year with the first test flight of its self-developed “Spectrum” launch vehicle. Porsche SE also recently participated in a further financing round of Quantum Systems, a manufacturer of drones for surveillance and reconnaissance purposes.

Porsche SE continues to anticipate an adjusted group result after tax of between 2.4 billion euro and 4.4 billion euro for the fiscal year 2025 and expects net debt to be between 4.9 billion euro and 5.4 billion euro.
