STUTTGART, Germany, July 28, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Mercedes-Benz Group AG (ticker symbol: MBG) reported revenue of \u20ac32.1 billion in the second quarter (Q2 2025: \u20ac33.2 billion) and Group EBIT of \u20ac1.5 billion (Q2 2025: \u20ac1.3 billion), while continuing to execute its largest-ever product launch programme and further improving efficiency and productivity. <\/p>\n Group EBIT was supported by strong earnings at Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, Mercedes-Benz Vans and higher contributions from the Group reconciliation, partly offset by lower earnings at Mercedes-Benz Cars. Group EBIT also included a positive effect of \u20ac131 million related to the planned sale of Athlon Group. Adjusted Group earnings before interest and taxes reached \u20ac2.3 billion (Q2 2025: \u20ac2.0 billion). <\/p>\n Mercedes-Benz made further progress with its Next Level Performance (NLP) programme, with cost measures continuing to support earnings in the second quarter. At Group level, general administrative expenses decreased by 14%, and research and development expenditure declined by 12%, following last year’s investment peak for the Mercedes-Benz Cars product launch plan. At Mercedes-Benz Cars, cost of sales declined by 7%. Efficiency measures also supported the cost position at Mercedes-Benz Vans and Mercedes-Benz Financial Services. Building on a reduction in fixed costs of approximately 25% since 2019, the company began further intensifying its global productivity measures in June 2026, with a particular focus on its German locations. <\/p>\n Free cash flow of the industrial business amounted to \u20ac1.1 billion in the second quarter (Q2 2025: \u20ac1.9 billion), supported by proceeds of \u20ac417 million from the partial sale of the Daimler Truck shareholding. In the first half of 2026, free cash flow of the industrial business amounted to \u20ac3.0 billion (H1 2025: \u20ac4.2 billion), reflecting an outflow of approximately \u20ac1.1 billion for severance payments in connection with the Next Level Performance programme. <\/p>\n The company maintained a solid financial position amid macroeconomic headwinds and ongoing model ramp-ups. Following dividend payments and share repurchases totalling \u20ac5 billion in the first half of the year, net liquidity of the industrial business remained strong at \u20ac30.4 billion, while the funding ratio of the pension plans improved to 117% from 113% at year-end 2025. <\/p>\n Mercedes-Benz Cars Reported EBIT amounted to \u20ac49 million (Q2 2025: \u20ac783 million) and included impairments of \u20ac704 million in connection with Chinese equity-method investments. The effects did not result in a corresponding cash outflow in the second quarter and were excluded from adjusted EBIT. The Chinese market and customers in China remain of high strategic importance to Mercedes-Benz. <\/p>\n Mercedes-Benz continued to advance its largest-ever model launch programme, comprising more than 40 new models between 2025 and 2027. Mercedes-Benz Cars BEV sales increased by 51% year-on-year to 52,852 units in the second quarter (Q2 2025: 35,027 units), driven by growth of 87% in Europe. Overall, Mercedes-Benz Cars sold 417,765 vehicles in the second quarter (Q2 2025: 453,674 vehicles). Sales increased by 4% in Europe and by 10% in the United States. This partly offset a 30% sales decline in China, where intense competition, subdued demand and the portfolio-wide model changeover continued to affect sales. Excluding China, global car sales increased by 2% year-on-year. <\/p>\n The Top-End segment accounted for 13.9% of global sales in the second quarter. The share reached 14.3% in the first half of 2026, within the full-year target range of 14% to 15%. <\/p>\n The ramp-up of recently launched models is increasingly translating into sales, with the all-new CLA and GLB making a tangible contribution and high order volumes for the all-new electric GLC expected to support further deliveries in the second half of the year. The new S-Class has made a successful start in Europe, with more regions to follow in the coming months. Order books also opened for a broad range of further models, including the all-new electric C-Class, the new GLE and GLS and the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 and GLC 53 model families. Further product highlights included the world premiere of the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coup\u00e9 variants and the debuts of the new Mercedes-Maybach GLS as well as the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ as SUV and Coup\u00e9 and the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4MATIC+ SUV, all powered by new V8 engines. The model launch plan will continue with the world premiere and start of sales of the all-new electric GLA at the end of July. Following China and the United States, Mercedes-Benz is also targeting the introduction of point-to-point assisted driving in the first German cities by the end of 2026. <\/p>\n In July, Mercedes-Benz marked the expansion of its Kecskem\u00e9t plant in Hungary. Investments of around \u20ac1 billion have doubled the site’s footprint and increased its production flexibility for electrified combustion-engine, plug-in hybrid and all-electric models. The plant is producing the all-new electric C-Class, the first all-electric Core model built at the site. <\/p>\n Mercedes-Benz Vans Mercedes-Benz Vans recorded second-quarter sales of 94,075 units, reflecting stable overall global demand with a strong performance in North America (+23%) and Europe (+5%) along with significant sales growth for eVans (+46%) compared to the second quarter of 2025. <\/p>\n In June, Mercedes-Benz Vans started series production of the all-new electric VLE at its Spanish Vitoria plant. It is the first vehicle based on the newly developed, modular and drivetrain-flexible Van Architecture. It serves as a perfect companion for a wide range of use cases \u2013 from a flexible solution for families and leisure-oriented customers to exclusive shuttle services. <\/p>\n Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Strategic development area: Mercedes-Benz vehicles for security and defense purposes As a first step, Mercedes-Benz signed a memorandum of understanding with Munich-based TYTAN to explore potential cooperation in the area of vehicle-based defense applications, including a G-Class-based system for drone defense and operations as well as a Sprinter-based mobile drone carrier and command unit. <\/p>\n Outlook Mercedes-Benz Financial Services now expects a higher adjusted return on equity of 12% to 14% (previously 10% to 12%), mainly reflecting an improved portfolio margin. <\/p>\n At Mercedes-Benz Cars, the share of electrified vehicles (xEV) is now expected to reach 23% to 25% (previously 21% to 23%), supported by the continued ramp-up of new all-electric (BEV) models in the second half of 2026. At the same time, in light of the continued challenging market environment in China, overall Mercedes-Benz Cars unit sales are now expected to come in slightly below the prior-year level (previously “on the same level”). Reflecting this, Group revenue is now also anticipated to be slightly below the previous year’s level (previously “at the prior-year level”). <\/p>\n Other forecast statements provided in the 2025

Mercedes-Benz Cars posted adjusted EBIT of \u20ac909 million in the second quarter (Q2 2025: \u20ac1,228 million), corresponding to an adjusted return on sales (RoS) of 4.0% (Q2 2025: 5.1%) and thus within the full-year guidance range of 3% to 5%. The year-on-year development reflected intensified market pressure, especially in China, a less favourable model mix, product lifecycle measures and launch-campaign-related costs, partly offset by continued efficiency gains. <\/p>\n
With an adjusted RoS of 10.2%, Mercedes-Benz Vans once again achieved double-digit results in the second quarter of 2026. Adjusted EBIT increased by 3% to \u20ac454 million compared with the second quarter of 2025, driven by higher sales outside of China, positive contributions from aftersales and the leasing portfolio. At the same time, the results reflect net pricing pressure and product mix effects as well as the ramp-up efforts for the new Van Architecture. Mercedes-Benz Vans is currently executing its largest product investment programme in its history. <\/p>\n
Mercedes-Benz Financial Services delivered a strong performance in the second quarter, with adjusted EBIT rising 70% to \u20ac492 million, driven by higher margins and improved cost efficiency. The adjusted return on equity (RoE) increased to 15.3%, significantly above the previous full-year guidance range of 10% to 12%. Total contract volume stood at \u20ac131.6 billion as of 30 June, up 2.2% compared with year-end 2025. The increase was driven by positive exchange-rate effects and growth in the United States. New business reached \u20ac26.8 billion in the first half of 2026. <\/p>\n
Mercedes-Benz plans to further intensify the company’s activities in the security and defense sector, reflecting its broader responsibility in a changing security environment. Building on more than 45 years of experience with modifiable vehicles for security, rescue and defense applications \u2013 including the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Sprinter and Vito \u2013 the company provides reliable base vehicles and chassis for specific operational requirements. <\/p>\n
