The automaker attained a new landmark in September 2022 with its largest IPO in Europe regarding market valuation.
Luxury automobile manufacturer Porsche achieved record figures in 2022 as sales revenue grew from 33.1 billion euros in 2021 to 37.6 billion euros. In addition to its 13.6% gain, the company had an impressive operating profit in the 12 months. Porsche said in a press release that the Group’s operating profit increased 27.4% YoY from 1.5 billion euros to 6.8 billion euros. Despite the economic downturns that impacted the economy in 2022, Porsche said Group Deliveries and automotive net cash flow attained new ATHs. Amazingly, Porsche emerged victorious in a stormy 2022, starting with the Russia-Ukraine way to global supply chain disruptions. The automobile maker delivered 309,884 vehicles, representing a 2.6% jump from 301,915 vehicles reported in 2021. Its operating return on sales surged from 16% to 18%.

Satisfactorily speaking on the remarkable performance in 2022, the Executive Board chairman, Olive Blume, stated that Porsche achieved its “strongest result” in history.

The deputy chairman and member of the executive board for finance and IT, Lutz Meschke, referred to “improved price positioning, the strong product mix, the increase in vehicle sales, exchange rate effects” and strict cost discipline as the success factors that helped the company. Following a strong 2022, Porsche is focused on its ambitious Road to 20 program.
“With the Road to 20 we are making Porsche even more resilient and our brand stronger than ever. And we’re going to take a fresh look at everything, from our product range and pricing to our cost structure. We want to increase the quality of our contribution margins and make our products even more attractive.
