“The resilience of Valeo’s first-half 2022 results in a difficult environment marked by high inflation, the electronic components shortage, lockdown measures in China and the conflict in Ukraine reflects our ability to overcome the major challenges we are currently facing.

Thanks to the excellent work of Valeo’s teams, our sales growth outperformed automotive production in all regions worldwide, while our free cash flow generation exceeded expectations at 179 million euros.

We are particularly pleased with the high level of order intake, including several particularly strategic orders in electrification and ADAS, illustrating Valeo’s accelerating momentum and the strong growth outlook set out in our Move Up plan.

The integration of Valeo Siemens eAutomotive is progressing as planned and will enable us to achieve the 120 million euros in synergies announced by 2025.

Based on the automotive production estimates published by S&P Global Mobility for the second half of the year, we are confident in our ability to achieve our 2022 guidance. This puts us perfectly in line with our Move Up plan.”

Christophe Périllat, Chief Executive Officer
