“In Q1, the Volvo Group’s net sales declined by 7% adjusted for currency movements and amounted to SEK 121.8 billion (131.2). Sales of vehicles were 9% lower than in Q1 2024 and as the quarter went by, there was increased uncertainty surrounding tariffs and their effect on global trade. The underlying service business continued to grow supported by good utilization of vehicles and machines in many markets across the world. Adjusted for the divestment of Arquus and currency our service business grew by 2% compared with Q1, 2024, and on a rolling 12-month basis we had service revenues of SEK 129.2 billion. The lower vehicle volumes affected our profitability, but we nonetheless generated an operating income of SEK 13.3 billion (18.2) with a margin of 10.9% (13.8),” says Martin Lundstedt, President and CEO.
The Volvo Group report for the first quarter will be published on April 23, 2025 at 7:20 a.m. CEST.
