Audi Profit Plunges 87% in the Third Quarter

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Audi Profit Plunges 87% in the Third Quarter.

Audi earned just €95 million after taxes in the third quarter. According to Focus Panorama, that was 87 percent less than in the same period a year earlier, when profit stood at €718 million. For customers, investors and employees, this is a significant setback: The Volkswagen Group is generating substantially less profit from Audi this quarter.

€95 Million in Profit Instead of €718 Million

Focus Panorama reported, citing the company, that Audi only narrowly avoided recording a loss in the third quarter. After taxes, €95 million remained, representing a decline of 87 percent from the previous year.

The reported profit is therefore significantly lower than the figures cited in information on neighboring industries and in comparable corporate announcements from Audi. The current figures show how heavily Audi is under pressure – however, the available reports do not reveal how that pressure is distributed across revenue, margins or ongoing business.

US Tariffs and Döllner's Appearance Dominate the Story

According to a Handelsblatt report, US tariffs are weighing particularly heavily on Audi. Alongside this burden, the newspaper said the announcement of the quarterly figures was overshadowed by Audi CEO Döllner appearing at an event attended by US President Donald Trump.

The reports provide no details about the appearance or any possible connection between the tariffs and the quarterly figures. The sources establish that Audi's profit fell by 87 percent to €95 million in the third quarter, while US tariffs are weighing particularly heavily on the automaker, according to Handelsblatt.
