Activity and results of main investee companies
Peugeot 1810
Stellantis once again turned in a very strong operational and financial performance in the first half of 2023. Group net revenue rose by 12% compared with the first half of 2022, to €98.4 billion, mainly due to the growth in its sales volumes, which reached 3.33 million units, an increase of 9.7%.
Operating profit totalled €14.1 billion, equal to 14.4% of revenue, driven by all geographical zones and North America in particular (17.5% margin) and Africa and the Middle East (25.9% margin).
Cash flow amounted to €8.7 billion, resulting in a net cash position for the group of €30 billion at 30 June 2023.
Stellantis is now the third-largest manufacturer by sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Europe and ranks second on the American market (light electric vehicles or LEVs).
In addition, as announced during the presentation of its annual results, Stellantis launched a €1.5 billion share buyback programme in the first half of the year, €700 million of which had been carried out at the end of June 2023.
The company's management confirmed its annual targets of operating margin of over 10% and positive free cash flow.
In the first six months of the year, Forvia was boosted by the 11.2% increase in global automotive production (mainly in Europe and China). This increase reflected strong demand and a steady improvement in logistics problems.
Revenue thus reached €13.6 billion, up 21.3% (with the consolidation of Hella causing a substantial scope effect). Operating profit was €675 million, up 69.6% year on year and equal to 5% of revenue (compared with 3.8% in the previous year). Forvia recorded new orders of more than €15 billion in the first half of the year, a high level that reflects the strong dynamic of the group.
The group's net debt was almost unchanged year on year (€8.1 billion vs €8.4 billion). The proceeds of the disposals announced at the start of the year will be received in the second half, enabling debt to be reduced.
Forvia has confirmed its annual guidance of revenue of €26.5 billion to €27.5 billion, an operating margin of 5.2% to 6.2% and neutral cash flow.

Investments
In a market environment that remained uncertain in the first half of 2023, the Group's equity investments recorded an increase in activity overall, resulting in a sharp rise in its operating performance, fuelled by a recovery of growth. This led, in particular, to substantial rises in the share prices of SEB Group (+21%), Spie (+21.5%) and LISI (+15.5%). Orpea is also working on the implementation of its Accelerated Safeguard Plan to ensure its sustainability.
In an unsteady macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, which was notably marked by a record acceleration in inflation and rising interest rates, the real estate sector (11% of gross asset value at the end of 2022) was hit particularly hard, with upward pressure on capitalisation rates and the impact of remote working on the use and attractiveness of office locations. In this uncertain environment, the valuation of the majority of our real estate assets was adjusted downwards.
The rest of the portfolio, made up of co-investments and private equity funds, continued to demonstrate a high level of resilience and increased its value.
New investments and disposals
Shareholdings
Commitment to invest in Rothschild & Co
In February 2023, Peugeot Invest committed to investing €152 million in Rothschild & Co, alongside Concordia and other long-term investors in a simplified takeover bid for shares of the group. It opened on 24 July 2023 at a price of €38.60 per share, ex-ordinary dividend and ex-extraordinary distribution, and ended on 8 September 2023.
On 12 September, the AMF announced the successful completion of the offer enabling the implementation of the squeeze-out. Peugeot Invest now holds 5.1% of Rothschild & Co's capital and will be represented on the company's Supervisory Board following this transaction.
Rothschild & Co is a leading global financial services group, structured around three businesses: financial advisory; private banking and asset management; and merchant banking. In 2022, it generated consolidated revenue of €3 billion.
Participation in the reorganisation of the capital of CID and LISI
Since 1977, the companies in the family-owned Peugeot group have supported the development of the LISI group, an international leader specialising in the design and manufacture of assembly solutions for the aeronautics, automotive and medical industries.
At 31 December 2022, Peugeot Invest was a shareholder owning 5.1% of the capital of LISI and 25.4% of the capital of Compagnie Industrielle de Delle (CID), LISI's controlling holding company.
