Brembo Executive Chairman Matteo Tiraboschi stated: "In a year of great difficulties for the automotive sector, especially in Europe, Brembo has shown great solidity and adaptability and this makes us confident for the future. The results achieved in 2024 are in line with the objectives announced to the market. Despite the complex scenario, Brembo continued to invest. The acquisition of Öhlins — the leading manufacturer of suspension technology — has been the most important transaction in Brembo's history and strengthens our market position. With the technological agreement with Michelin, we are committed to revolutionising vehicle performance and offering even higher safety and comfort standards. With the new production plant in Thailand, already operational as of this year, we have expanded the Group's global industrial footprint. Thanks to our ability to innovate, we face every challenge with courage and long-term vision."

Results at 31 December 2024

Brembo N.V.'s Board of Directors, chaired by Matteo Tiraboschi, examined and approved the Group's results at 31 December 2024.

Net consolidated revenues amounted to Ȗ3,840.6 million, in line with the previous year's revenues (-0.2%, +0.1% on a like-for-like exchange rate basis).

In the reporting period, Brembo's car segment rose by 1.4%, also thanks to the good performance of the aftermarket segment, which accounts for 12.1% of total revenues. Motorbike applications remained substantially stable (+0.4%) compared to the previous year, while applications for commercial vehicles and racing applications declined by 12.0% and 2.4%, respectively.

In the same period, at geographical level, sales decreased by 6.5% in Italy and by 2.0% in France, while they remained stable in Germany at -0.2% and grew by 13.3% in the United Kingdom (+12.1% on a like-for-like exchange rate basis).

The North American market (USA, Mexico and Canada) declined by 3.9% (-3.8% on a like-forlike exchange rate basis), while the South American market (Brazil and Argentina) decreased by 1.7% (+5.6% on a like-for-like exchange rate basis).

In India sales grew by 10.9% (+12.3% on a like-for-like exchange rate basis), in China by 7.7% (+9.2% on a like-for-like exchange rate basis) and in Japan by 37.9% (+39.2% on a like-for-like exchange rate basis).

At 31 December 2024, the cost of sales and other net operating costs amounted to Ȗ2,466.3 million, with a 64.2% ratio to sales, slightly declining compared to the previous year (65.4% of sales, equal to Ȗ2,518.8 million).

Personnel expenses amounted to Ȗ729.5 million, with a 19.0% ratio to sales, slightly increasing compared to the previous year (17.7% of sales, equal to Ȗ681.6 million). At 31 December 2024, Brembo People numbered 15,461 (15,653 at 31 December 2023).

EBITDA amounted to Ȗ661.1 million (EBITDA margin: 17.2%) at 31 December 2024 compared to Ȗ665.8 million (EBITDA margin: 17.3%) for 2023. EBIT amounted to Ȗ393.3 million (EBIT margin: 10.2%) compared to Ȗ414.1 million (EBIT margin: 10.8%) for 2023.

Net interest expense totalled Ȗ38.6 million (Ȗ34.3 million at 31 December 2023) and included interest expense amounting to Ȗ26.1 million (Ȗ20.4 million at 31 December 2023) and net exchange losses of Ȗ12.5 million (Ȗ13.9 million at 31 December 2023). Income from investments was Ȗ11.1 million compared to Ȗ12.3 million at 31 December 2023.

Pre-tax profit was Ȗ365.9 million compared to Ȗ392.0 million at 31 December 2023.

Based on the tax rates applicable under current tax regulations in force in each country, estimated taxes amounted to Ȗ99.6 million (Ȗ84.8 million at 31 December 2023), with a tax rate of 27.2% compared to 21.6% for the previous year.

The period ended with a net profit of Ȗ262.6 million compared to Ȗ305.0 million at 31 December 2023.

Net investments amounted to Ȗ497.51 million for the reporting year. The acceleration compared to the figure at 30 September 2024 is attributable to the advance of some investments in production capacity, the signing of the lease of land and building in Thailand and the purchase option on a building located in the Stezzano (Bergamo, Italy) headquarters, held under lease.

Net financial debt at 31 December 2024 amounted to Ȗ360.4 million, down Ȗ94.4 million compared to 31 December 2023. Excluding the impact of IFRS 16, net financial debt would have been Ȗ121.9 million, down Ȗ161.7 million compared to 31 December 2023.

Sustainability results improved

In 2024 Brembo also continued to pursue its sustainability plan. During the year, CO2 emissions per cast tonne decreased by 13.74%2 compared to 2023. The use of electricity from renewable sources continued to grow, reaching 83% of the total compared to 75% in the previous year. Waste management also improved, with 93% recycled compared to 88% in 2023.

The activities and the results achieved in each ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) area are illustrated in detail in the first integrated Annual Report of the Group, available on the website www.brembogroup.com.

1 The figure includes increases in leased assets for Ȗ89.3 million.

2 Scope 1 and market-based Scope 2 CO2 emissions per cast tonne, generated by foundries/net tonnes of molten cast iron and molten aluminium (including BSCCB S.p.A.).

Outlook

In a context of great uncertainty and in light of the performance of the first months of 2025, on a like-for-like basis, Brembo expects a revenue decline of approximately 5% compared with the previous year. However, with the consolidation of Öhlins and if the geopolitical scenario and trade tensions stabilise in the second half of the year, the Group anticipates revenue in line with 2024.
