CONFIRMED FY 2021 GUIDANCE, AS RECENTLY UPDATED

On September 23, Faurecia adjusted its FY 2021 guidance to reflect the strong reset released by IHS Markit of worldwide automotive production forecast from 77 million to 72 million units for the full-year 2021.

  • Sales of c. €15.5bn and strong organic sales outperformance > +600bps
  • Operating margin of 6.0% to 6.2% of sales

HELLA ACQUISITION PROCESS ON TRACK

  • Antitrust clearances underway, expected closing early 2022 confirmed
  • Faurecia and Hella launched the project “One” to be ready at closing
Citation

Market conditions remained tough in the past quarter, impacted by adverse supply chain conditions, primarily semiconductors, that impacted automotive production and generated high volatility in OEM programs. In these challenging conditions, Faurecia nevertheless reached a solid sales outperformance and confirms its capability to achieve a strong operating leverage in 2021. 
On top of tightly managing the short-term performance, we are also focusing on successfully closing the acquisition process of Hella and prepare our companies to combine their strengths and create strong value for all stakeholders.
