An interim dividend of €0.24 per share was already paid in July 2024. The balance of €0.36 per share will be paid on May 2nd, 2025 after approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders.
Controlled debt
At December 31, 2024, adjusted for the exceptional payment of a €35 million interim dividend in July 2024 and the repurchase of own shares for €10 million at the end of 2024, the Group’s net debt decreased -€9 million on December 31, 2023.
With net debth) of €1,577 million at the end of December 2024, OPmobility’s leverage is 1.7x EBITDA, stable on the end of December 2023.
At December 31, 2024, the Group has liquidities of €2.4 billion, comprising €499 million in available cash and €1.9 billion in confirmed, undrawn credit facilities, with an average maturity of 3.4 years and no covenants.
In 2024, the Group diversified its sources of financing and extended the average maturity of its debt with, in March, the successful placement of a €500 million bond issue due March 2029 and paying a coupon of 4.875%. This followed S&P Global Ratings assigning the Group a BB+ rating with a stable outlook on March 1, 2024. In addition, OPmobility successfully completed a €300 million Schuldschein private placement in December 2024, with an average maturity of 4.7 years, an average financing rate of 4.17% and no covenants. The proceeds from this issue will be used for general financing needs, including the partial refinancing of 2025 maturities.
Finally, the Group repaid a €500 million bond loan at maturity in June 2024.
By anticipating its 2025 refinancing needs, the Group therefore ensured a solid financial structure with diversified financing sources with no covenants, and extended the average maturity of its debt.
OPmobility continues to strengthen its technological offer and diversify its geographic and customer mix to address mobility challenges
By becoming OPmobility in 2024, the Group turned a new page in its history and confirmed the acceleration of its strategic transformation as a leading player in sustainable and connected mobility. In a constantly evolving market, this ambition is founded on three pillars: technologies, geographies and customers. The Group has chosen agility and proximity to better seize future opportunities and contribute to building diversified, sustainable and connected mobility.
Technological diversification
The Group is expanding and strengthening its technological offer to seize opportunities and anticipate developments in the global mobility market and meet the needs of all customers, whatever their powertrain: electric (hydrogen or battery), hybrid or internal combustion. OPmobility can adapt with agility to market changes as its revenue is over 75% powertrain agnostic, as generated by its exterior systems, lighting and modules activities.
A new Exterior & Lighting business group was established on February 1, 2025, combining the exterior systems and lighting activities to meet the growing demands of manufacturers for value-added integrated exterior systems, while creating synergies with lighting activities.
In addition, at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, the Group unveiled its One4you global offer for exterior vehicle systems. This offer aims to provide custom-made technologies and solutions combining exterior body parts, lighting solutions, modules and software, through OP’nSoft.
OPmobility also showcased its latest lighting innovations. These include safety features such as Adaptive Driving Beam technology designed for the North American market, which produces a beam without dazzling other drivers, as well as the first massproduced RGB (Red Green Blue) lighting automotive system capable of projecting a wide spectrum of colors and dynamic animations.
In addition, OPmobility offers a comprehensive range of solutions for all types of powertrain, allowing it to capitalize on market opportunities, including the significant growth in demand for hybrid vehicles. In 2024, more than 10% of C-Power business group orders concerned plug-in hybrid vehicle programs, and this trend is expected to continue in the coming months.
With declining internal combustion engine vehicle sales, OPmobility is securing the future of the business group through a “Last Man Standing” strategy. This allows for the capture of new market share by adapting to diverse regional dynamics, especially due to the gradual adoption of electrification. This approach targets both historical manufacturers and new tenders in a consolidating market.
Finally, OPmobility has developed a comprehensive offer of high-pressure vessels for hydrogen vehicles, whether equipped with fuel cells or internal combustion engines. The Group continues to grow by seizing commercial opportunities while adjusting its investment in production capacity in a context of more gradual than anticipated growth in demand from manufacturers.
Geographic diversification
In a rapidly changing global mobility landscape, OPmobility is strengthening its geographic presence in expanding markets, including the United States, China, India and Southeast Asia (Thailand and Indonesia). OPmobility continues to extend its geographic footprint by accelerating its development in North America and Asia.
In 2024, the United States was the largest contributor to Group revenue, generating 17.4%, up +2.4 points compared to 2019. Since 2024, all OPmobility’s business groups are present in the United States, in line with the strategy to rebalance its geographic mix to better meet customer needs. The Group expects to significantly increase its revenue in this country in the coming years.
In addition, with nearly two-thirds of orders in 2024 coming from North America and Asia, OPmobility’s future revenue stream is more balanced across the regions.
Customer diversification
OPmobility is strengthening its historical customer portfolio while adapting to new trends in the automotive market. In 2024, the Group stepped-up the diversification of its customer mix, particularly targeting electric mobility new entrants, as well as opening up to all forms of mobility. To support its customers in their decarbonized mobility journey, OPmobility ramped up module volumes assembled at its new Austin plant in Texas for a major American player in electric mobility. In addition, OPmobility continues to be well positioned in calls for tenders, as evidenced by its commercial success with new electric mobility players such as BYD, NIO and Geely in China.
OPmobility has also expanded its customer portfolio to address collective and heavy mobility, recording several orders in the rail sector. In particular, the Group has developed a comprehensive offer for hydrogen-powered vehicles, whether equipped with fuel cells or internal combustion engines, thereby covering all forms of mobility. These solutions have enabled the Group to strengthen its existing programs, notably with Alstom. Two new contracts have also been signed since the beginning of the year with CRRC (China Railway Rolling Stock corp.), the world’s leading manufacturer of railway equipment, for the supply of high-pressure hydrogen storage systems, and with Stadler to equip regional hydrogen trains in Italy. The Group has also developed a multiple offer for pure electric, hybrid and hydrogen hybrid rail electrification (trains, trams).
In a transforming mobility market, OPmobility confirms its belief that hydrogen is a particularly relevant solution for decarbonizing heavy mobility and is strengthening its position as a global leader in hydrogen mobility.
Accelerating the Group's transformation to optimize its operational performance
In a rapidly changing market, OPmobility must focus more than ever on efficiencies, synergies and, in a wider sense, performance. The Group is also firmly committed to its transformation, to strengthen its positioning and increase its competitiveness. The Group will therefore optimize synergies between its business groups to achieve excellence in the various functions that drive operational performance, such as Purchasing, Logistics, Industrial Performance and Research & Development.
OPmobility, a major player in mobility energy transition
In 2024, OPmobility keep on reducing its CO2 emissions on scopes 1 and 2 and implemented all actions to reach carbon neutrality on these scopes in 2025
OPmobility confirms its ambitious target of scope 1 and 2 carbon neutrality by 2025[7], demonstrating the Group’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact and promoting sustainable mobility in line with the targets communicated in 2021, as recognized by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and aligned with the Paris Agreement.
This objective positions OPmobility as a major player in sustainable development and confirmed its long-term commitment to a more environmental-friendly future.
OPmobility also continues to roll out its carbon neutrality plan to achieve its other objectives:
- 30% reduction in upstream and downstream scope 3 emissions by 2030 compared with 20199,
- Commitment to be net zero in 2050 according to the Business Ambition 1.5°C of SBTi.
Since 2021, the Group’s new energy improvement program has boosted its energy efficiency. In 2024, this efficiency improved by 22% compared to 20199. In addition, over the same period, 12 new solar panel installation projects were launched, bringing the total number of equipped sites to 35.
Improved OPmobility ESG ratings
Reputed rating agencies continue to positively assess OPmobility’s non-financial performance. OPmobility received several awards for its ESG commitments:
- Recognition of the Group’s commitment to the climate with the award of the highest CDP rating of “A”, for the second time in a row. The Group has been also awarded, for the 1st year of assessment, a “B” rating by the CDP Water;
- The award of an “AA” rating (previously “A”) by MSCI ESG Ratings, placing OPmobility in the leader category and among the top 10% of its industry;
- The renewal by EcoVadis of the Group’s Platinum status with an 82/100 rating, up +2 points on last year, allowing it to maintain its ranking in the top 1% of companies assessed. This progress was achieved through significant efforts in
the field of ethics and by maintaining excellence in other areas such as climate change;
- The award of a “C+” ESG rating by ISS, making the Group one of the leaders in its industry.
Driven by its environmental commitments, OPmobility demonstrates through the reduction of its CO2 emissions, and across-the-board improvements in ESG ratings, its ability to implement an ambitious roadmap, thereby confirming its position as a major player in mobility energy transition.
Outlook
The automotive production is expected stable in 2025j) with strong disparities by region, and uncertainties remain regarding the consequences of potential regulatory evolutions (trade tariffs, CAFE[8] standards notably).
