In the second quarter, Iveco Group recorded a strong increase in consolidated revenues of €3,764 million (+7.3%) and also in industrial revenues of €3,696 million (+7.9%), in particular thanks to higher European volumes. Industrial Activities generated an Adjusted EBIT of €104 million. Free Cash Flow represented an outflow of €45 million, while Available Liquidity remained solid at €4.4 billion as of 30th June 2026, following payment of the ~€1,550 million extraordinary interim dividend on 22nd April 2026 from the proceeds of the Defence business disposal.
Truck reaffirmed its leadership position in the upper-end and chassis-cab segments of the light commercial vehicle market, while maintaining disciplined pricing in European heavy-duty vehicles. Compared with the second quarter of 2025, European industry volumes were broadly stable in light-duty and increased by 9% in medium- and heavy-duty. Order intake remained strong, increasing 21% in light-duty and 47% in medium- and heavy-duty. The European heavy-duty book-to-bill ratio improved by 33 basis points year-over-year, while light commercial vehicles remained steady. Profitability was affected by the additional resources dedicated to quality, partially offset by higher volumes and positive pricing.
IVECO BUS retained its number one position in the European electric bus market and consolidated its number two ranking overall, with a market share of more than 25%. Bus deliveries increased by 8%, supported by the Annonay plant operating at full capacity. Profitability was affected by rework costs associated with the last batch of unfinished city buses carried over from 2025, now fully deployed, partially offset by higher volumes and positive pricing. This rework is now complete, removing the related cost impact from the second half of the year.
In Powertrain, overall engine volumes increased by 9% compared with the second quarter of 2025, driven by increased small-engine deliveries in Europe across on-road and off-road applications. Profitability was affected by an unfavourable product mix, primarily reflecting fewer large-engine deliveries in the Americas, and the previously mentioned investments in quality. These impacts were partially offset by disciplined cost control and continued operational efficiency.
Consistent with the Company’s ambition to become a premium partner, Model Year 26 truck range was launched in the first week of July at IVECO Experience 2026, with the participation of 2,000 customers, dealers, suppliers, partners, media representatives and employees. IVECO restated its commitment to supporting customers throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle, through best-in-class, end-to-end quality, innovation and close customer relationships. It also showcased the next stage of the journey that began two years ago, guided by the ‘Spirito in Movimento’ ambition and its three pillars: Motion by Design, Motion through Experience and Motion as Family.
Looking ahead, the Company expects a gradual recovery in profitability during H2 2026, reflecting the weaker industry demand for LCV towards the end of the year, particularly in the upper end, and increased macroeconomic uncertainties that will negatively impact the full year performance of our industrial activities. These are expected to be partially offset by the actions implemented in H1 2026 and the acceleration of our Efficiency Programme. H2 2026 is also expected to deliver solid Free Cash Flow generation.
With regard to the Tata Motors’ Tender Offer for the proposed acquisition of the Iveco Group, the regulatory process is reaching its final stage, with only one pending approval to be received by Tata Motors. Based on the information received from Tata Motors, following its interactions with the competent Authority, all requests have been addressed and final clearance is expected to be received by end of August 2026. Accordingly, the Tender Offer is expected to be launched in early September 2026 with an expected closure by early November 2026.
“Our positive top line performance during this quarter is a strong indicator of the continuing resilience of our industrial businesses. Our deliberate focus on investments in quality – in line with the priorities we set out for the year – has had its impact on short-term profitability but is expected to deliver lasting benefits going forward across the full range of our products and services. These deliberate and positive actions to improve the core efficiency of our business will ensure that Iveco Group enters the next phase of its development as a strong and confident contributor to our transformational deal with Tata Motors that continues to make good progress in securing all the necessary approvals.”
Olof Persson, Chief Executive Officer

Iveco Group consolidated financial results included in this press release are prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS.
(*) 2026 and 2025 financial data shown in this press release refer to Continuing Operations only (ie. excluding Defence business), unless otherwise stated. In particular, on 18th March 2026, Iveco Group transferred the full ownership of its Defence business (IDV and ASTRA brands) to Leonardo S.p.A., as per the terms of the agreement announced on 30th July 2025. In accordance with IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, as the sale became highly probable in July 2025, the Defence business met the criteria to be classified as a disposal group held for sale since that date; it also met the criteria to be classified as Discontinued Operations. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the figures in the Income Statement and Statement of Cash Flows for Q2 and H1 2025 have been recast consistently.

| Non-EU-IFRS Financial Information |
Iveco Group monitors its operations through the use of several non-EU-IFRS financial measures including Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted Net Income/(Loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted Income Taxes, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities, Net Cash (Debt) and Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities, and Available Liquidity. Iveco Group’s management believes those measures provide useful and relevant information regarding Iveco Group’s operating results and enhance the readers’ ability to assess Iveco Group’s financial performance and financial position. Management uses these non-EU-IFRS financial measures to monitor the underlying performance of Iveco Group’s business and operations, to identify operational trends, as well as to make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions as they provide additional transparency with respect to Iveco Group’s core operations. These non-EU-IFRS financial measures have no standardised meaning under EU-IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance and financial position as prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS. Iveco Group’s non-EU-IFRS financial measures are defined as follows:
