Guidance adjustment for fiscal year 2024 due to a settlement on the Group separation agreement between Continental AG and Vitesco Technologies Group AG

Regensburg, September 26, 2024 – Today, Vitesco Technologies Group AG, headquartered in Regensburg, and Continental AG, headquartered in Hanover, have reached a settlement on the Group separation agreement between the two Groups.

The agreement provides that outstanding claims related to the Group separation agreement between Continental AG and Vitesco Technologies Group AG in connection with investigations into the manipulation of exhaust values by the public prosecutors in Frankfurt and Hanover, which have been discontinued in the meantime, will be settled. Based on the agreement, Vitesco Technologies Group AG will pay an amount of 125 million euros to Continental AG.

Since the related cash outflow will be due in the remainder of the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, Vitesco Technologies Group AG adjusts its free cash flow guidance for fiscal year 2024: Free cash flow (excluding integration costs associated with the Schaeffler AG merger) for the full year is now forecast to be at around -525 million euros (previously: approximately -400 million euros; FY 2023: 85 million euros).
Following the agreement, all other financial key performance indicators of Vitesco Technologies Group AG’s fiscal year 2024 guidance remain unchanged.
