With European OEMs continuing to see volume reductions for projects, particularly in China, the Schaeffler Group decided to recognize one-off impairments and provisions totaling approximately 240 million euros, including around 220 million euros in the third quarter of 2026, adjusted as special items. The impairments relate principally to production equipment that has become surplus to requirement due to declining project volumes. The measures also involve portfolio streamlining in relation to specific thermal management systems. The division’s components and modules business in this area will continue to operate unchanged. By recognizing the impairments, Schaeffler is mitigating balance sheet risk and reducing overcapacity. The resulting financial effects will have a positive impact on the E-Mobility division’s profitability in the coming years. The Schaeffler Group confirms its dedicated China strategy for E-Mobility unchanged. On this basis, the Schaeffler Group aims to further grow its share of the Chinese OEM market, particularly in the electromobility segment. Achieving break-even for the E-Mobility division remains a key priority for the group. Further order book improvement in fast-growing humanoid robotics business In the fast-growing humanoid robotics business, the Schaeffler Group confirms the positive trend of the previous quarters. In the third quarter of 2026, two new customers in the Greater China region were successfully acquired and thereby increased new orders in this key growth business to approximately 400 million euros. FY 2026 guidance and mid-term targets for 2028 confirmed Based on the solid results achieved in the third quarter of 2026, the Board of Managing Directors has confirmed the 2026 full-year guidance and mid-term targets for 2028 (see the press and IR release of July 31, 2026). “By adjusting our capacity and optimizing our portfolio in the E-Mobility division, we are responding decisively to the changing market environment. By recognizing the one-off asset impairments, we are proactively mitigating balance sheet risk and improving our earnings potential in the coming years. At the same time, we are making the E-Mobility division more focused and competitive in order to reliably achieve operational break-even. Orders on hand in the humanoid robotics business have performed well and increased to 400 million euros. Based on our solid results in the first nine months and third quarter of 2026, we are confirming our guidance for 2026 and our mid-term targets for 2028,” said Klaus Rosenfeld, Chief Executive Officer of Schaeffler AG. The company will provide further details during an analyst call on October 13, 2026. The interim statement containing the final validated figures will be published on November 3, 2026.
