#ExploreŠkoda News: Škoda Auto’s record-breaking 2024: A strong foundation for the intensifying transformation

Mladá Boleslav, 13. March 2025 – 2024 was the best financial year in the history of Škoda Auto Group. It achieved a record sales revenue of €27.8 bn (+4.7%) and an operating profit of €2.3 bn (+30.0%). Net cash flow more than doubled, exceeding €2 bn (+116.2%), and return on sales further increased to 8.3%, reflecting the excellent overall financial performance and resilience of the company. These strong results are allowing the company to navigate the upcoming challenges of the intensified transformation from a position of strength. The further improved financial figures are primarily driven by higher sales, favourable mix effects, and beneficial exchange rates, alongside the consistent implementation of the Next Level Efficiency+ programme, with a strong focus on optimising costs. Škoda Auto delivered 926,600 vehicles to customers worldwide last year (+6.9%), with the Octavia remaining the brand’s bestseller (215,700 vehicles; +12.4%). Škoda recorded a sharp increase in deliveries across its main sales region Europe, where it outpaced the overall market and ranked as the fourth best-selling carmaker (2023: 7th position). Looking ahead, the company is well-positioned, offering its youngest and most comprehensive product portfolio to date comprising all drive types, with the all-electric compact SUV Elroq and the recently presented new Enyaq. Furthermore, Škoda is pressing ahead with its internationalisation efforts: At the newly built plant in Vietnam, assembly operations are set to begin in the upcoming weeks, while the all-new Kylaq urban SUV, developed in India for India, will support the brand’s sales target of 100,000 units by 2026 in its important growth market. A first glimpse of Škoda’s all-electric family SUV, based on the show car Vision 7S, was revealed in today’s video review of 2024.
