1 As of January 01, 2025, Daimler Truck integrated its business in China and India into the Mercedes-Benz Trucks segment. The figures for the first quarter of 2025 and the restated year-on-year comparison are based on the new segment composition. Detailed information can be found in the chapter E About this report from page 5.
2 The values of the Trucks Asia segment do not correspond to the values from discontinued operations, due to allocations not attributable to Mitsubishi Fuso and its fully consolidated subsidiaries (e.g. allocations related to corporate functions).
3 Return on equity for Financial Services.
4 Adjusted return on equity for Financial Services.
5 The segment result was significantly impacted by a special item of minus €120 million from the full impairment of the equity-investment carrying amount of Beijing Foton Daimler Automotive Co., Ltd. (BFDA) in the second quarter of 2024.
6 Excluding a special item in research and development costs of €218 million from a non-cash derecognition of capitalized development costs due to the delayed transformation speed of battery-electric vehicles, especially in the US market. 7 At December 31, 2024.
From a business perspective, a distinction is made at selected points between Industrial Business and Financial Services. The Industrial Business comprises the vehicle segments Trucks North America, Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Trucks Asia, Daimler Buses and the reconciliation. Financial Services corresponds to the Financial Services segment. The eliminations of intra-Group transactions between the Industrial Business and Financial Services are generally allocated to the Industrial Business and are reported in the reconciliation.
Effective January 01, 2025, Daimler Truck Group (hereinafter also referred to as "Daimler Truck" or "Group") integrated its businesses in China and India from the Trucks Asia segment into the Mercedes-Benz segment. This formed one global Mercedes-Benz Trucks segment. All other activities of the Trucks Asia segment are not affected by this reorganization, nor are the Trucks North America, Daimler Buses and Financial Services segments.
Daimler Truck AG, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (Mitsubishi Fuso), Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and Hino Motors Ltd. (Hino) signed definitive agreements on June 10, 2025, with respect to the integration of Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino. The closing of the transaction is subject to the fulfillment of various closing conditions, such as the approval of Hino's shareholders meeting and that of the relevant authorities. The criteria for classification as "assets and liabilities held for sale" and as "discontinued operations" were fulfilled on June 06, 2025. The approval of the transaction by the Supervisory Boards of Daimler Truck AG and Daimler Truck Holding AG was granted on the same day.
Further explanations can be found in chapter E Profitability, liquidity and capital resources, and financial position and in E Note 2. Discontinued operations and assets held for sale in the Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
This Interim Report provides information to assess any change in financial position, liquidity and capital resources and profitability as well as in the expected development compared to the annual financial reporting for the 2024 reporting year.
Detailed information on Daimler Truck's performance measurement system, including an explanation of financial and non-financial performance measures and performance indicators can be found in the chapter "Performance measurement system" from page 40 in the combined management report of the annual report for the 2024 reporting year at w www.daimlertruck.com/en/investors/reports/ financial-reports.
The 2024 Annual Report contains detailed information on objectives and strategy, business model, corporate governance and the Group Sustainability Statement of Daimler Truck.
These Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, consisting of the Consolidated Statement of Income, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as well as the Interim Group Management Report were subject to an audit review by KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft.
For sustainability reasons, annual and interim reports are not printed. These are made available at w www.daimlertruck.com/en/ investors/reports/financial-reports and are available for download as a PDF. The report in this PDF format contains interactive elements. Tables of contents, page headers and references internal and external to the report are linked to the corresponding content.
Due to rounding, individual figures may not add up precisely to the totals shown and percentages presented may not accurately reflect the absolute values to which they relate. This report is available in German and English. The German version is binding. For better readability, names, brands and registered trademarks are not identified in this report.
For this reason, we use gender-neutral language throughout this report. In the interest of readability and for terms with legal meaning, we use the generic masculine form. In these cases, the terms chosen include all gender identities without limitation.
This document contains terms such as "zero-emission (heavy-duty) vehicle" (abbreviated "ZEV", "zero-emission vehicle"), "CO2e", "CO2e-neutral", "CO2e-neutral on the balance sheet" and "locally CO2e-free" or "CO2e-free in driving operation". A "zero-emission heavy-duty vehicle" is according to Article 3 point (11) (a) of the Regulation (EU) 2024/1610 a vehicle without an internal combustion engine or with an internal combustion engine with emissions of no more than 3 g CO2/(tkm) or 1 g CO2/(pkm). "CO2e" stands for carbon dioxide equivalent and refers to the total amount of greenhouse gases released by a particular activity or process. It takes into account not only carbon dioxide, but also other greenhouse gases such as methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and ozone (O3) by relating their climate impact to CO2. Since these gases have different effects on the climate, CO2e enables a holistic view of the climate effect of a particular activity. "CO2e-neutral" means that CO₂e emissions released into the atmosphere by a company's activities are offset by a corresponding amount of CO2e. Offsetting can be achieved through various measures: reducing emissions, reducing energy consumption, switching to renewable energies, etc., or by storing or absorbing CO₂. "CO2e-neutral on the balance sheet" means that CO₂e emissions released are offset by compensation certificates and related projects. "Locally CO2e-free" or "CO2e-free in driving operation" means that no carbon or carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) is emitted from the vehicle into the immediate surroundings while driving. Unless otherwise indicated, the same understanding of terms is used in each case throughout the entire document.
Daimler Truck AG, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (Mitsubishi Fuso), Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and Hino Motors Ltd. (Hino) signed definitive agreements on June 10, 2025, with respect to the integration of Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino. The closing of the transaction is subject to the fulfillment of various closing conditions, such as the approval of Hino's shareholders meeting and that of relevant authorities. The criteria for classification as "assets and liabilities held for sale" and as "discontinued operations" were fulfilled on June 06, 2025. The approval of the transaction by the Supervisory Boards of Daimler Truck AG and Daimler Truck Holding AG was granted on the same day.
In the discussions of Business Development, the summarized unit sales figures from continuing and discontinued operations are presented for the reporting and prior-year periods.
From a business perspective, a distinction is made at selected points between Industrial Business and Financial Services. The Industrial Business comprises the vehicle segments Trucks North America, Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Trucks Asia, Daimler Buses and the reconciliation. Financial Services corresponds to the Financial Services segment. The eliminations of intra-Group transactions
between the Industrial Business and Financial Services are generally allocated to the Industrial Business and are reported in the reconciliation.
Effective January 01, 2025, Daimler Truck integrated its businesses in China and India from the Trucks Asia segment into the Mercedes-Benz segment. This formed one global Mercedes-Benz Trucks segment. All other activities of the Trucks Asia segment are not affected by this reorganization, nor are the Trucks North America, Daimler Buses and Financial Services segments. The figures for the 2025 financial year and the restated year-on-year comparison are based on the new segment composition.
The development of the global economy in the first half of 2025 remained stable overall. However, the introduction of tariffs began to have an impact on the real economy. In addition, trade policy announcements by the USA contributed to increased uncertainty.
The momentum of the US economy slowed in the first half of 2025 due to restrictive trade policies. Gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to have increased by 2.0% year-on-year in the
second quarter. The inflation rate rose slightly to 2.7% in June, exceeding the Federal Reserve's (Fed) target. The Fed did not cut interest rates and left the key interest rate in the corridor of 4.25% to 4.50%.
In the eurozone, negative effects from US tariff policy were only slightly noticeable in the first half of 2025. GDP is expected to have increased by 1.4% in the second quarter compared to the previous year. Consumer price inflation in the eurozone stabilized at the target of 2.0% in June. At the end of the second quarter, the European Central Bank's (ECB) deposit rate was 2.0%.
In this uncertain environment, truck demand continued to decline. The North American market for heavy-duty trucks (Class 8) decreased by 5% in the second quarter of 2025. In the first half of the year, market volume was 7% below the prior year level. The market for heavy-duty trucks in the EU30 region (European Union, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway) declined by 14% in the second quarter. In the first half of the year, new registrations fell by 15% compared to the prior year level.

Daimler Truck | Interim Report Q2 2025 Key Figures 7 Interim Group Management Report > Business Development Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Further Information
In the second quarter of 2025, the Daimler Truck Group sold 106,715 (Q2 2024: 112,195) vehicles worldwide, in the first half of 2025 206,527 (Q1-2 2024: 221,106) units were sold. The number of zeroemission vehicles included therein increased significantly to 1,232 (Q2 2024: 648) units in the second quarter of 2025 and to 1,991 (Q1-2 2024: 1,461) units in the first half of 2025. ä A.01
The Trucks North America segment sold 38,580 (Q2 2024: 48,246) units in the second quarter and 77,572 (Q1-2 2024: 94,475) units in the first half of 2025. The significant decline in unit sales was mainly due to weaker markets and ongoing uncertainties resulting from US tariff policy. In the second quarter of 2025, unit sales fell significantly in the USA to 34,033 units (-14%) and in Canada to 3,501 units (-21%). A similar development was also seen for the first half of 2025, during which period unit sales fell to 67,432 units (-14%) in the USA and to 7,250 units (-12%) in Canada. The decline in unit sales in Mexico in the second quarter (-79%) and in the first half of 2025 (-62%) was related to the change in emissions legislation and the associated pull-forward effects in the prior year.
Unit sales in the Mercedes-Benz Trucks segment in the second quarter of 2025 were at the previous year's level at 38,294 (Q2 2024: 38,481) units. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, customer demand was significantly stronger, but in the first half of 2025, unit sales remained 10% below the previous year's figure at 71,740 units. In the EU30 region, unit sales in the second quarter of 2025 were at the previous year's level at 13,665 (Q2 2024: 13,432) units. In contrast, unit sales in the EU30 region fell significantly by 17% to 26,191 units in the first half of 2025. In Latin America, we recorded a significant increase in unit sales of 10% to 9,889 units in the second quarter of 2025 and of 14% to 17,313 units in the first half of 2025. In addition to increased unit sales in Brazil, the positive development in Latin America is primarily due to significant growth in Argentina. In India, the segment recorded a slight increase in unit sales in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of the previous year, with 5,403 (Q2 2024: 5,036) units. In contrast, unit sales in the first half of 2025 decreased by 5% to 11,133 units.
Unit sales in the Trucks Asia segment increased significantly to 26,443 (Q2 2024: 23,411) units in the second quarter of 2025 and to 51,215 (Q1-2 2024: 44,851) units in the first half of 2025, compared to the very low levels of the prior year. The unit sales development resulted mainly from higher deliveries to Indonesia and other Asian markets. In the second quarter of 2025, unit sales in Indonesia increased slightly to 5,868 units (+4%), in the first half of 2025, unit sales increased significantly to 11,885 units (+40%). In Japan, unit sales fell slightly by 7% to 7,708 units in the second quarter of 2025, while unit sales in the first half of 2025 remained at the previous year's level at 16,113 (Q1-2 2024: 16,334) units.
The Daimler Buses segment sold a total of 7,027 (Q2 2024: 6,674) units in the second quarter of 2025, while unit sales in the first half of 2025 totaled to 13,233 (Q1-2 2024: 12,270) units. The increase in unit sales in the second quarter and the first half of 2025 was mainly due to the positive development of the European and Brazilian sales markets. In the second quarter of 2025, we achieved a significant increase in unit sales by 20% in the EU30 region to 2,189 units and in the first half of 2025 a significant increase by 19% to 3,893 units. In addition, we were able to significantly increase our unit sales in Brazil, our main market in Latin America, to 2,752 units in the second quarter of 2025 and to 5,334 units in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period last year. In contrast, we recorded a significant unit sales decline of 52% to 473 units in Mexico in the second quarter of 2025. In the first half of 2025, unit sales were significantly below the previous year's level at 1,194 (Q1-2 2024: 2,005) units.
The Financial Services segment concluded new financing and leasing contracts totaling €2.5 billion (-16%) in the second quarter of 2025. In the first half of 2025, new financing and leasing contracts totaling €4.8 billion (-17%) were concluded worldwide. This decline is primarily attributable to the North America region (-28%).
Contract volume at the end of June 2025 was €29.7 billion, significantly below the level of the previous year-end (-8%). This decline was primarily due to negative currency effects and the expected normalization of dealer inventory financing in North America in the first half of 2025.

Daimler Truck AG, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (Mitsubishi Fuso), Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and Hino Motors Ltd. (Hino) signed definitive agreements on June 10, 2025, with respect to the integration of Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino. The closing of the transaction is subject to the fulfillment of various closing conditions, such as the approval of Hino's shareholders meeting and that of the relevant authorities.
The criteria for classification as "assets and liabilities held for sale" and as "discontinued operations" were fulfilled on June 06, 2025. The approval of the transaction by the Supervisory Boards of Daimler Truck AG and Daimler Truck Holding AG was granted on the same day. The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income presents continuing operations; the result of discontinued operations after tax is shown in a separate line. The previous year's figures have been restated accordingly. Since the segments continue to be reported unchanged for continuing and discontinued operations in accordance with internal management and reporting, a reconciliation of the Group EBIT from continuing operations to the sum of continuing and discontinued operations is provided. To ensure comparability of EBIT at the segment level with the prior year, scheduled depreciation, which is no longer required to be recognized from a Group perspective since June 06, 2025, is presented in the reconciliation. Thus, segment reporting reports segment results independently of the effects of the agreement.
The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows presents the consolidated cash flows from continuing and discontinued operations for the reporting and prior-year periods. Net liquidity and net debt are also reported on this basis.
In the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Mitsubishi Fuso's assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025, are presented as assets and liabilities held for sale. The previous year's balance sheet values are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in accordance with the previous method of presentation.
Detailed information on the integration of Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino and the scope of discontinued operations and assets and liabilities held for sale are included in E Note 2. Discontinued operations and assets and liabilities held for sale in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
In order to provide a better insight into profitability, liquidity and capital resources, and financial position, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are presented for the Daimler Truck Group, and additionally for Industrial Business and Financial Services. The Industrial Business and Financial Services separation presents a business perspective. The Industrial Business comprises the automotive segments Trucks North America, Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Trucks Asia and Daimler Buses, and the reconciliation. Financial Services corresponds to the Financial Services segment. The elimination of intra-Group transactions between the Industrial Business and Financial Services are allocated to the Industrial Business and are reported under reconciliation.
As of January 01, 2025, Daimler Truck integrated its business in China and India into the Mercedes-Benz Trucks segment. The figures for the 2025 financial year and the restated year-on-year comparison are based on the new segment composition.
With the aim of achieving a more causation-based allocation, cost centers were reclassified within functional costs. For better comparability, the figures for the comparative period have also been restated. Further information is provided in E Note 1. Principles and methods used in the Interim Financial Statements.
To increase transparency, income from costs recharged between segments is no longer reported gross. Instead, it is offset against the associated functional cost within the respective segment – without impacting EBIT. At Group level, the new approach has no impact. Prior-period figures have been restated for better comparability.
The following information explains the changes in the reporting year compared to the prior year and takes into account all effects that are material from the Daimler Truck Group perspective.
The definition of sensitivities for the qualitative-comparative description of changes in key figures ("on", "slightly" and "significantly" above or below the prior year level) can be found in chapter "Performance measurement system" from page 40 in the combined management report of the annual report for the 2024 reporting year at w www.daimlertruck.com/en/investors/reports/ financial-reports.

Daimler Truck | Interim Report Q2 2025 Key Figures 11 Interim Group Management Report > Profitability Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Further Information
Further information on profitability, liquidity and capital resources, and financial position of the Group is provided in the Consolidated Statement of Income ä B.01, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income ä B.02, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position ä B.03, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows ä B.04, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity ä B.05 and the relevant explanations in the Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue of the Daimler Truck Group amounted to €11.7 billion in the second quarter of 2025 and was 6% below that of the same period in the prior year (Q2 2024: €12.4 billion). Adjusted for exchange rate effects, revenue declined by 4%. This development was primarily due to lower unit sales in the Industrial Business. This was offset in particular by improved net pricing.
Cost of sales decreased slightly to €9.5 billion (Q2 2024: €9.8 billion), compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Significant effects arose, in particular, from lower unit sales in the Industrial Business.
A reduction in selling expenses to €582 million (Q2 2024: €658 million) was mainly due to lower unit sales in the Industrial Business.
General administrative expenses increased to €518 million (Q2 2024: €432 million), mainly due to addition to provisions as part of the "Cost Down Europe" restructuring and efficiency program.
Research and non-capitalized development costs increased significantly to €727 million (Q2 2024: €405 million). This development is primarily attributable to a special item of €218 million resulting from a non-cash derecognition of capitalized development costs due to the delayed transformation speed of battery-electric vehicles, especially in the US market. A lower capitalization rate compared to the prior-year period
also led to an increase.
Other operating income increased to €149 million (Q2 2024: €92 million) in the second quarter of 2025.
The result from equity-method investments, net, in the second quarter of 2025 of minus €38 million was significantly above that of the same period in the prior year (Q2 2024: minus €176 million). A key factor in this development was a special item in the prior-year quarter of minus €120 million from the full impairment of the at-equity carrying amount of Beijing Foton Daimler Automotive Co., Ltd. (BFDA).
EBIT amounted to €396 million in the second quarter of 2025 (Q2 2024: €1,012 million) and was significantly below that of the same period in the prior year.
In the second quarter of 2025, an expense of €158 million (Q2 2024: expense of €326 million) was recognized under income taxes. The effective tax rate was higher than the previous year at 39.2 % (Q2 2024: 30.4 %), particularly due to the recognition of taxes relating to other periods in the reporting quarter.
The net profit from continuing operations after tax amounted to €245 million in the second quarter of 2025 (Q2 2024: €746 million) and the net profit from discontinued operations after tax amounted to €65 million (Q2 2024: €43 million).
Net profit of €310 million for the second quarter of 2025 was significantly below that of the prior year's period (Q2 2024: €789 million). Of the net profit, €33 million (Q2 2024: €47 million) was attributable to non-controlling interests.
The share of net profit attributable to shareholders of Daimler Truck Holding AG amounted to €277 million (Q2 2024: €742 million). Of this, €219 million (Q2 2024: €706 million) was attributable to continuing operations and €57 million (Q2 2024: €36 million) to discontinued operations.
Earnings per share amounted to €0.36 (Q2 2024: €0.93), of which €0.29 (Q2 2024: €0.88) was from continuing operations and €0.07 (Q2 2024 €0.05) was from discontinued operations.
The calculation of earnings per share (basic) is based on an average number of outstanding shares of 769 million (Q2 2024: 802 million).
Table ä A.02 shows the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income of the Daimler Truck Group as well as of the Industrial Business and Financial Services for the second quarter of 2025.
Table ä A.03 shows the reconciliation of the Daimler Truck Group's EBIT from continuing operations to the sum of continuing and discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2025. In addition, the sum of these activities is divided into the Industrial Business and Financial Services as a basis for segment reporting.

Daimler Truck | Interim Report Q2 2025 Key Figures 16 Interim Group Management Report > Profitability Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Further Information
Revenue of the Daimler Truck Group in the first half of 2025 was 6% below the same level as the previous year at €23.2 billion (Q1-2 2024: €24.8 billion). Adjusted for exchange rate effects, revenue declined by 5%. This development was primarily due to lower unit sales in the Industrial Business. This was offset by improved net pricing.
The cost of sales was slightly below the prior year level at €18.6 billion (Q1-2 2024: €19.6 billion). This development was primarily influenced by lower unit sales in the Industrial Business.
A slight reduction in selling expenses to €1,203 million (Q1-2 2024: €1,344 million) was mainly due to the slightly lower unit sales in the Industrial Business.
General administrative expenses increased to €987 million (Q1-2 2024: €921 million), mainly due to the addition to provisions as part of the "Cost Down Europe" restructuring and efficiency program.
Research and non-capitalized development costs increased significantly to €1,205 million (Q1-2 2024: €802 million). This development is primarily attributable to a special item of €218 million resulting from a non-cash derecognition of capitalized development costs due to the delayed transformation speed of battery-electric vehicles, especially in the US market. A lower capitalization rate compared to the prior-year period also led to an increase.
Other operating income amounted to €258 million (Q1-2 2024: €184 million).
The result from equity-method investments, net, in the first half of 2025 of minus €67 million was significantly above that of the same half in the prior year (Q1-2 2024: minus €228 million). A key factor in this development was a special item of minus €120 million in the second quarter of the previous year from the full impairment of the at-equity carrying amount of Beijing Foton Daimler Automotive Co., Ltd. (BFDA).
EBIT amounted to €1,399 million in the first half of 2025 (Q1-2 2024: €2,061 million) and was significantly below that of the same half in the prior year.
In the first half of 2025, an expense of €443 million (Q1-2 2024: expense of €642 million) was recognized under income taxes. The effective tax rate was slightly higher than the previous year's figure at 30.8% (Q1-2 2024: 29.4 %).
The net profit from continuing operations after tax amounted to €994 million in the first half of 2025 (Q1-2 2024: €1,538 million) and the net profit from discontinued operations after tax amounted to €114 million (Q1-2 2024: €97 million).
Net profit of €1,108 million for the first half of 2025 was significantly below the prior year's level (Q1-2 2024: €1,636 million). Of the net profit, €61 million (Q1-2 2024: €93 million) was attributable to non-controlling interests.
The share of net profit attributable to shareholders of Daimler Truck Holding AG amounted to €1,047 million (Q1-2 2024: €1,543 million). Of this, €947 million (Q1-2 2024: €1,460 million) was attributable to continuing operations and €100 million (Q1-2 2024: €83 million) to discontinued operations.
Earnings per share amounted to €1.35 (Q1-2 2024: €1.92), of which €1.22 (Q1-2 2024: €1.81) from continuing operations and €0.13 (Q1-2 2024: €0.10) from discontinued operations.
The calculation of earnings per share (basic) is based on an average number of outstanding shares of 773 million (Q1-2 2024: 803 million).

Daimler Truck | Interim Report Q2 2025 Key Figures 21 Interim Group Management Report > Profitability Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Further Information
The profitability of the capital employed in the Industrial Business is assessed using the return on capital employed. Detailed explanations of this and other key figures of our performance management system can be found in the chapter "Performance measurement system" from page 40 in the combined management report of the annual report for the 2024 reporting year at w www.daimlertruck.com/en/investors/reports/financial-reports.
To calculate the return on capital employed of the Industrial Business, EBIT of the Industrial Business is annualized. The return on capital employed was 28.6% in the first half of 2025 (Q1-2 2024: 39.0%). The decline compared to the same period of the previous year was mainly due to the lower EBIT, slightly offset by the decline in average operating net assets.
The calculation of the return on capital employed of the Industrial Business in the first half of 2025 is presented in the following table.

Daimler Truck | Interim Report Q2 2025 Key Figures 22 Interim Group Management Report > Liquidity and Capital Resources Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Further Information
Cash flows from operating activities ä A.11 resulted in cash inflow of €1.3 billion in the first half of 2025 (Q1-2 2024: cash outflow of €0.3 billion). Profit before income taxes was below the prior year level. The development was mainly due to lower unit sales in the Industrial Business. This was offset by improved pricing.
Cash flows from operating activities were negatively impacted by the increase in working capital in the first half of 2025. This is mainly due to the seasonal increase in inventories of finished goods and work in progress. The temporary increase in trade payables partially offset this negative effect.
Furthermore, the reduction in receivables from financial services, mainly due to the expected normalization of dealer financing, led to a positive effect on cash flow from operating activities.
The changes in other operating assets and liabilities include negative effects, particularly from the reduction in pension provisions, contractual liabilities from advance payments received and liabilities from residual value guarantees.
Cash flows from investing activities ä A.11 resulted in a cash outflow of €0.3 billion (Q1-2 2024: €0.7 billion). The change in the first half of 2025 resulted mainly from additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as well as from the sale of money market funds.
Cash flows from financing activities ä A.11 resulted in a cash outflow of €0.1 billion (Q1-2 2024: cash inflow €1.7 billion). Significant cash outflows were due to dividends paid to shareholders of Daimler Truck Holding AG amounting to €1.5 billion, the acquisition of treasury shares in the amount of €0.5 billion and the repayment of bonds and external financing liabilities. On the other hand, cash inflows in the first half of 2025 resulted from borrowings on international money and capital markets in the amount of €4.0 billion and from issuing Asset Backed-Securities (ABS) in the amount of €0.6 billion. The issuance of bonds took place mainly in the USA and Netherlands.

Daimler Truck | Interim Report Q2 2025 Key Figures 23 Interim Group Management Report > Liquidity and Capital Resources Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Further Information
The main indicator of the financial strength of the Daimler Truck Group is the free cash flow of the Industrial Business ä A.12. Detailed information on this and other key figures of our performance measurement system can be found in the chapter "Performance measurement system" from page 40 in the combined management report of the Annual Report for the 2024 reporting year at w www.daimlertruck.com/en/investors/reports/financial-reports.
In the first half of 2025, the free cash flow of the Industrial Business resulted in a cash inflow of €0.1 billion (Q1-2 2024: cash inflow of €0.9 billion). The decrease in the first half of 2025 was impacted by the following factors compared to the same period of the previous year:
For a more transparent presentation of the ongoing business, the Group identifies and reports an adjusted free cash flow of the Industrial Business ä A.12. Most of the adjustments are a result of M&A transactions, which have decreased when compared to the first half of 2024, as well as restructuring measures and legal proceedings. The adjusted free cash flow of the Industrial Business shows a cash inflow of €0.2 billion (Q1-2 2024: cash inflow of €1.1 billion).

Interim Group Management Report > Liquidity and Capital Resources Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Further Information
The net liquidity of the Industrial Business, shown in table ä A.16, decreased by €2.6 billion to €5.9 billion in the first half of 2025. The decrease is mainly due to the dividend paid to the shareholders of Daimler Truck Holding AG of €1.5 billion, the cash outflow resulting from the share buyback program of €0.5 billion and negative effects from exchange rates of €0.5 billion. This was offset by the positive free cash flow of the Industrial Business of €0.1 billion.
The stable gross liquidity and the increase in financing liabilities of the Industrial Business result mainly from issuance of bonds in the USA and Netherlands.

In addition, the following changes were recorded in the balance sheet items.
The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents and inventories. This was offset by the decrease of the receivables from financial services.
Intangible assets were slightly below the prior year level. The development costs capitalized in the first half of 2025 amounted to €166 million (Q1-2 2024: €244 million) which represents a share of 12.1% (Q1-2 2024: 23.4%) in the Group's total research and development activities. The development costs capitalized is mainly due to several product and technology projects, including in the area of locally CO2e-free transport. In the second quarter of 2025, capitalized development costs amounting to €218 million were derecognized due to the delayed transformation speed of batteryelectric vehicles, especially in the US market. This was not cash effective.
Property, plant and equipment (including right-of-use assets) were slightly below prior year level. Investments in property, plant and equipment in the first half of 2025 decreased to €351 million (Q1-2 2024: €432 million). In our production and assembly sites, investments were made primarily in preparation for production of further zero-emission vehicles in order to support the transformation to e-mobility. In addition, investments were also made in the expansion of our sales and spare parts centers as well as in the ongoing development of the existing product portfolio and plants. In the first half of 2025, the German sites accounted for investments in property, plant and equipment of €156 million (Q1-2 2024: €224 million).
Equipment on operating leases and receivables from financial
services decreased, primarily due to negative effects from exchange rates and the normalization of dealer financing in North America. The share of the leasing and sales financing business of 42.7% of total assets was at the prior year level (December 31, 2024: 45.1%).
The increase of Inventories is mainly due to the seasonal increase in work in progress and finished goods.
Cash and cash equivalents were above the prior year level. The increase in the first half of 2025 resulted primarily from borrowings on international money and capital markets and positive cash inflows from operating activities. The increase was offset by the effects of the dividend payment to the shareholders of Daimler Truck Holding AG, cash outflows from investing activities as well as the share buyback program.
On the equity and liabilities side of the balance sheet, there were primarily decreases in equity and in provisions.
The Group's equity of €21.1 billion was slightly below the prior year level (December 31, 2024: €22.9 billion). The largest impact resulted from the dividend payments to the shareholders of Daimler Truck Holding AG of €1.5 billion, the currency translation of €1.1 billion and from the acquisition of treasury shares of €0.5 billion. This was offset by the Group's net profit of €1.0 billion.
Total assets decreased by 3%. Equity also decreased by 8% compared to the prior year. The Group's equity ratio of 29.5% was at the prior year level (December 31, 2024: 30.9%); the equity ratio for the Industrial Business was 44.8% (December 31, 2024: 49.2%).
Provisions were below the previous year's level. In the second quarter of 2025, an increase in personnel provisions for restructuring measures within the "Cost Down Europe" program was recognized. This was substantially compensated for by the utilization of the long-term variable remuneration, executive and staff bonus provisions as well as positive effects from exchange rates.
Financing liabilities were at the prior year level. During the first half of 2025, bonds in amount of €4.0 billion were issued on the international money and capital markets as well as Asset-Backed-Securities (ABS) with a total volume corresponding to €0.6 billion. This was offset by the repayment of bonds in the amount of €2.4 billion and positive effects from exchange rates.
Daimler Truck | Interim Report Q2 2025 Key Figures 28 Interim Group Management Report > Risk and Opportunity Report Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Further Information
The risks and opportunities that could have a material impact on the profitability, liquidity and capital resources, and financial position of the Daimler Truck Group, as well as detailed information on our risk and opportunity management system, were presented in our 2024 Annual Report as part of the Combined Management Report on pages 186 to 198. In addition, we refer to Note 30. Legal Proceedings in the combined management report of our annual report for the year 2024 for further information on legal proceedings.
The remainder of the 2025 financial year will continue to be subject to uncertainties resulting from the current geopolitical risk landscape and the potential impact of various global events on the Daimler Truck Group. Both the further development of the Russia-Ukraine war, and the announcement and implementation of US import tariffs present significant risks to the Group.
In view of Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine, the EU adopted another sanctions package in 2024, aiming in particular at being able to take better action against the circumvention of existing sanctions. Daimler Truck has also been and may be the subject of governmental inquiries or investigations regarding its or its joint ventures' compliance or the compliance of its or its joint ventures' employees, consultants, agents or partners, including joint venture partners, with matters such as export controls, sanctions or other governmental policies. The war in Ukraine could escalate further and, in the worst case, spread to other countries. Such an expansion would pose a significant risk to Daimler Truck's market environment.
The announcement and implementation of US import tariffs has heightened global economic uncertainty, posing a significant risk to the Group. The implementation of import tariffs may result in a further decrease in product demand due to economic slowdown and price increases, as well as impacting credit and market risks. Additionally, this may result in higher supplier prices and the introduction of reciprocal tariffs, further escalating prices and causing additional effects on exchange rates.
Furthermore, the effects of the military escalation between India and Pakistan could lead to an intensification of the geopolitical risk landscape.
Accordingly, the risks described in the 2024 Annual Report arising from legal and political conditions remain high, although the probability of occurrence decreased from medium to low.
Although the general market risks remain high, a reduction in the estimated impact is observed compared to year end 2024. Their probability of occurrence increased from low to medium.
Financial risks decreased from high to medium reflecting the general trends observed in the financial markets.
The closing of the transaction to integrate Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino and the commencement of operations of the new listed holding company are targeted for April 2026. Risks may arise, for example, from the non-issuance of approvals by authorities and other third parties, and generally from the incomplete implementation and execution of contractual agreements. However, these risks are countered by ongoing risk reduction measures.
In January 2025, the evaluation process for implementing restructuring and efficiency measures was initiated at Daimler Truck as part of the "Cost Down Europe" program with the aim to make Daimler Truck sustainably competitive in Europe and to generate strong returns for investments in the future. As a result of these measures, a provision for restructuring measures in the amount of €339 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2025. The remaining personnel risks thereby reduced from high to low compared to year end 2024, while the probability of occurrence decreased from high to medium.
These events determine both the future performance of the global economy and Daimler Truck's business development. The statement on the overall risk and opportunity assessment made in the 2024 Annual Report as part of the Combined Management Report remains valid.
Changes in risks and opportunities are continuously monitored, evaluated and, if appropriate, incorporated in the business plans during the year.
Daimler Truck | Interim Report Q2 2025 Key Figures 29 Interim Group Management Report > Outlook Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Further Information
As of January 01, 2025, Daimler Truck integrated its business in China and India into the Mercedes-Benz Trucks segment. The outlook for the 2025 financial year and the adjusted prior year figures are based on the new segment composition.
The closing of the transaction to integrate Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino and the commencement of operations of the new listed holding company are targeted for April 2026. Consequently, the forecast key figures – in line with the previous forecasts for 2025 financial year – continue to include Mitsubishi Fuso's business and thus encompass both continuing and discontinued operations. The effects of the discontinuation of scheduled depreciation and amortization as well as the expected transaction costs do not affect the outlook key figures, as they are reported in the reconciliation and considered as adjustments in EBIT.
In January 2025, the evaluation process for implementing restructuring and efficiency measures was initiated at Daimler Truck as part of the "Cost Down Europe" program with the aim to make Daimler Truck sustainably competitive in Europe and to generate strong returns for investments in the future. Daimler Truck aims to reduce annually recurring costs by more than €1 billion by latest 2030. In April 2025, the management and the General Works Council have agreed on the framework conditions for improving efficiency. As a result of these measures, a provision for restructuring measures in the amount of €339 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2025. The resulting expense was treated as an adjusted item and will have no material impact on the free cash flow of the Industrial Business in 2025.
The updated outlook for 2025 financial year is subject to further macroeconomic and geopolitical developments. It is based on the assumption that we can continue to operate under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
Depending on the outcome of the ongoing discussions with our partner regarding our China business, we expect further financial implications that are currently not included.
For the current reporting year, we expect global economic growth to slow compared to the prior year. The US tariffs that have been decided and implemented are likely to have a negative impact on global trade, although trade agreements with the USA could mitigate these effects. Increased uncertainty in the reporting year is also leading to weakening demand. It cannot be ruled out that further current geopolitical risks could have a negative impact on the real economy. According to our forecasts, the global economy should grow by up to 2.5% in 2025.
The economic performance of the eurozone is expected to grow by 1.0% in 2025. For 2025, our forecasts assume an average increase in consumer prices of 2.0% in the eurozone.
The economic outlook for the United States is fraught with uncertainty. The introduced import tariffs on goods from important trading partners could increase inflation again, which may prevent further interest rate cuts by the Fed and significantly slow consumption. Overall, we expect an average inflation rate of up to 3.0% for 2025 and US economic growth of around 1.5%.

The Company is domiciled in Stuttgart and is entered in the Commercial Register of the District Court of Stuttgart under No. HRB 778600 with its business address at Fasanenweg 10, 70771 Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany.
The Interim Financial Statements are presented in euros. Amounts are stated in millions of euros, except where otherwise indicated.

The Interim Financial Statements were approved for publication by the Board of Management of Daimler Truck Holding AG on July 31, 2025. The Interim Financial Statements have been reviewed by the Group's auditors.
In the opinion of the management, the Interim Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (i.e. normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the profitability, liquidity and capital resources, and financial position of the Group. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Unless otherwise stated, the Interim Financial Statements were prepared on the basis of the accounting policies of the audited and published IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements of Daimler Truck Holding AG and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2024 ("2024 Consolidated Financial Statements") and should be read in conjunction with these.

Daimler Truck AG, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (Mitsubishi Fuso), Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and Hino Motors Ltd. (Hino) signed Definitive Agreements on June 10, 2025, with respect to the integration of Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino. The closing of the transaction is subject to the fulfillment of various closing conditions, such as the approval of Hino's shareholders meeting and that of the relevant authorities.
Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino will integrate on an equal footing and cooperate in the areas of commercial vehicle development, procurement and production, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. The new holding company, to be listed in Tokyo, Japan, is expected to commence operations in April 2026. Daimler Truck AG and Toyota each intend to acquire a 25% stake in the new listed holding company, which will own 100% of Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino. The investment in the new holding company is to be included in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method.
The criteria for classification as assets and liabilities held for sale and as discontinued operations were fulfilled on June 06, 2025. The approval of the transaction by the Supervisory Boards of Daimler Truck AG and Daimler Truck Holding AG was granted on the same day.
Continuing operations are presented in the consolidated statement of income; the profit or loss after tax of discontinued operations is shown in a separate line. The previous year's figures have been restated accordingly. Unless otherwise indicated, the information presented in the statement of income in the notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. The Trucks Asia segment includes Mitsubishi Fuso and its fully consolidated subsidiaries (Mitsubishi Fuso subgroup). The differences are mainly due to allocations related to corporate functions recorded in segment reporting. In line with the internal management and reporting structure, all segments are presented on an unchanged basis in the segment reporting.
In the consolidated statement of financial position, assets and liabilities of the Mitsubishi Fuso subgroup as of June 30, 2025 are presented as assets and liabilities held for sale. The amounts in the statement of financial position for the previous year are shown in line with the previous method of presentation, in accordance with IFRS.
In the consolidated statement of cash flows, consolidated cash flows from continuing and discontinued operations are presented for the reporting period and the prior-year period.
The investments in operating entities and business operations of the Mitsubishi Fuso subgroup will be transferred to the new holding company after the effective date. Accordingly, as of June 06, 2025, the assets and liabilities held for sale are presented separately in the balance sheet and classified as a disposal group.
As a result, the scheduled depreciation and amortization as well as the equity-method measurements of the non-current assets classified as held for sale are discontinued as of this date.
The measurement at fair-value of the disposal group was carried out using the discounted cash flow method. The input factors used in this method were allocated to level 3 of the measurement hierarchy.
The assets and liabilities held for sale are presented in table ä B.07.
Before being classified as held for sale, all assets and liabilities were measured in accordance with the applicable IFRS. This also included an impairment test for the Mitsubishi Fuso subgroup which did not result in any need for impairment.
Other reserves in shareholders' equity currently include cumulative expenses in connection with assets and liabilities classified as held for sale (minus €553 million).

With the aim of achieving a more causation-based allocation, cost centers were reclassified within functional costs, as shown in E Note 1. Principles and methods used in the Interim Financial Statements.
In the second quarter of 2025, expenses totaling €339 million from cost optimization programs in connection with the "Cost Down Europe" program announced in January 2025 to reduce costs and cut jobs in a socially responsible manner had an impact on all functional cost areas.
In the second quarter of 2025, general administrative expenses increased to €518 million (Q2 2024: €432 million) and to €987 million (Q1-2 2024: €921 million) in the first half of 2025 due to addition to provisions for the "Cost Down Europe" restructuring and efficiency program.
In the second quarter of 2025, research and non-capitalized development costs increased to €727 million (Q2 2024: €405 million), and in the first half of 2025 to €1,205 million (Q1-2 2024: €802 million). They were mainly influenced by a special item of €218 million resulting from the non-cash derecognition of capitalized development costs due to the delayed transformation speed of battery-electric vehicles, especially in the US market.

In the second quarter of 2025, capitalized development costs amounting to €218 million were derecognized due to the delayed transformation speed of battery-electric vehicles, especially in the US market. This was not cash effective.
Amortization of capitalized development costs for the second quarter of 2025 amounted to €21 million (Q2 2024: €19 million) and in the first half of 2025 €48 million (Q1-2 2024: €39 million).

Table ä B.17 presents key figures on interests in joint ventures accounted for using the equity-method in the Daimler Truck Group's Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
In the first quarter 2025, the Daimler Truck Group and the Volvo Group made total capital contributions of €70 million (Q1 2024: €90 million) to cellcentric GmbH & Co. KG, resulting in an increase in the Daimler Truck Group's equity-method investment of €35 million (Q1 2024: €45 million).
In the first quarter of 2025, the Daimler Truck Group, Accelera by Cummins, PACCAR and EVE Energy made total capital contributions of €142 million (Q1 2024: €0 million) to Amplify Cell Technologies LLC, resulting in an increase in the Daimler Truck Group's equity investment of €41 million (Q1 2024: €0 million).
On June 02, 2025 the Daimler Truck Group and the Volvo Group concluded the transaction to jointly establish the joint venture Evo Truck SDV AB, which is in the process of changing its name to Coretura AB (Coretura), headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden. The goal is to develop a software-defined vehicle platform for heavy-duty commercial vehicles and to drive the transformation of the industry in this area.
The joint venture is equally owned by both parties and since June is included in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. Coretura-related activities are not assigned to a reportable segment, but are instead included in the reconciliation section of the segment reporting. As of June 30, 2025, the equity-accounted carrying amount in the Daimler Truck Group amounted to €49 million.

In the second quarter of 2025, an increase in personnel provisions for restructuring measures in the amount of €339 million within the "Cost Down Europe" program was recognized. This was substantially compensated for by the utilization of the long-term variable remuneration, executive and staff bonus provisions.
The decrease in product warranties was mainly due to the falling US dollar exchange rate against the euro, as well as the reclassification of balances related to discounted operations.

Daimler Truck | Interim Report Q2 2025 Key Figures 47 Interim Group Management Report Interim Consolidated Financial Statements > Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Further Information
Table ä B.24 shows the carrying amounts and fair values for the respective classes of financial instruments for the Group's continuing and discontinued operations, excluding equity instruments measured at amortized cost and not in the scope of IFRS 9, and lease liabilities.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Given the varying influencing factors, the reported fair values can only be viewed as indicators of prices that may actually be achieved on the market.
The fair values of financial instruments were calculated on the basis of market information available on the balance sheet date. The methods and premises used are explained in Note 1. General information and significant accounting policies of the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents in the first half of 2025 resulted primarily from borrowings on international money and capital markets and positive cash inflows from operating activities. The increase was offset by the effects of the dividend payment to the shareholders of Daimler Truck Holding AG, cash outflows from investing activities as well as the share buyback program.
The marketable debt securities and similar investments declined to €1.9 billion (December 31, 2024: €2.3 billion). The decrease is primarily due to a lower volume of money market funds.
Financing liabilities increased to €28.2 billion in the first half of 2025 (December 31, 2024: €27.6 billion) and are described in E Note 14. Financing liabilities.

Segment information for the second quarter and first half of 2025 compared to the second quarter and first half of 2024 can be found in table ä B.26. The table shows the sum of continuing and discontinued operations. The Trucks Asia segment includes the Mitsubishi Fuso subgroup (discontinued operations). Deviations primarily result from allocations related to corporate functions.
As of January 01, 2025, Daimler Truck has integrated its businesses in China and India from the Trucks Asia segment into the Mercedes-Benz segment, thereby forming a global Mercedes-Benz Trucks segment. All other activities of the Trucks Asia segment are not affected by this reorganization. In addition, there were insignificant impacts on the segments Trucks North America and Daimler Buses arising from the changes in allocations and no impact on Financial Services segment. The new allocations have no impact on Daimler Truck Group level. The comparative period has been restated accordingly.

On June 26, 2025, the German Bundestag passed a law for an immediate tax investment program to strengthen Germany as a business location. The law includes, amongst others, the reduction of the corporate tax rate from 15% to 10%. The reduction will be implemented gradually starting in 2028, with the corporate tax rate decreasing by 1% annually. Since the German Bundesrat only approved the law on July 11, 2025, there are no impacts on the valuation of deferred taxes for the group companies based in Germany as of June 30, 2025. The specific effects of the law are currently being examined but cannot yet be quantified.
To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for half-yearly financial reporting, the half-yearly consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group, and the interim management report of the group includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the group, together with a description of the material opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the group for the remaining months of the financial year.

We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Daimler Truck Holding AG – comprising Consolidated Statement of Income, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements – together with the interim group management report of the Daimler Truck Holding AG, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2025 that are part of the semi annual financial report according to Section 115 WpHG ["Wertpapierhandelsgesetz": "German Securities Trading Act"]. The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU, and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports, is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.
We performed our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU, and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries
of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor's report.
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.
