|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exterior & Lighting | 1,394 | 1,268 | -9.0% | -5.1% |

Consolidated revenueb) totaled €2,523 million in Q1 2026, down -6.3% and -2.3% like-for-likec) compared to Q1 2025, including a negative currency effect of -€111 million mainly due to fluctuations in the US dollar.
Q1 2026 economic revenuea) totaled €2,834 million, stable like-for-like compared to Q1 2025. Over the same period, the joint ventures, mainly YFPO exterior systems manufacturing in China and SHB module assembly in South Korea, reported strong growth of +18.2%c).
- Exterior & Lighting: economic revenuea) decreased -9.0% (-5.1% LFLc)) in Q1 2026 year-on-year to €1,268 million. Exterior activity recorded fewer launches in Q1 2026 than in the same period in 2025 and was also impacted by the delayed launch of several programs in a more challenging economic environment. In Q2 2026, Lighting activity will begin to benefit from the first launches stemming from the order book built up since its acquisition at the end of 2022.
- Modules: economic revenuea) totaled €912 million, +2.6%c) like-for-like compared to Q1 2025. While activity in Europe was affected by lower volumes, the business group reported growth in the number of modules assembled at its Austin plant for a major US player in electric mobility. In addition, assembly of the first robotaxi modules for this same customer began in April 2026, with a gradual ramp‑up scheduled over the year.
- Powertrain: economic revenuea) totaled €654 million, up +5.5% LFLc) year-on-year. This performance was mainly driven by the C‑Power business group, with higher fuel tank production volumes than in Q1 2025, particularly in North America. OPmobility also continued to diversify its technologies through its battery pack offering, supported by momentum in the hybrid vehicle sector. In this respect, the Group recently signed a major contract in the United States with a global customer. Lastly, the H2‑Power business group continues to develop partnerships in Asia, particularly with Chinese heavy-duty mobility players, in a regulatory and political environment favorable to hydrogen.
OPmobility outperforms automotive production in North America and Asia in a contracting market
In a context of heightened geopolitical tension, global automotive production decreased by -3.4%h) in Q1 2026 year-on-year. This decrease affected all regions, with a particularly sharp contraction of -9.6%h) in China, weighed down by weak domestic demand, the gradual withdrawal of support measures for electric vehicles and intense competition among manufacturers.
In North America, automotive production decreased by -1.4%h), with tariffs still in place and a reduction in public support for electrification in the United States. Lastly, automotive production in Europe also decreased by -2.0%h), as manufacturers adjust their production to more gradual than expected transition to electric vehicles, and to economic and regulatory uncertainty.
| In € million By region | Q1 2025 | Q1 2026 | Change | LFL changec) | Automotive productionh) | Performance vs. Automotive production |

- In Europe, economic revenuea) totaled €1,472 million, down -5.2% LFLc) year-on-year. OPmobility was affected by lower volumes and recorded fewer production launches in Q1 this year than in the same period last year, as some starts of production were postponed by its customers.
- In North America, economic revenuea) totaled €764 million, up +4.9% LFLc) year-on-year. This performance was supported by activity in both the United States and Mexico, which outperformed the market. The C‑Power business group continues to benefit from sustained growth in fuel tank production volumes, while the Modules business in Austin continues to be driven by the assembly of modules for a model launched by a US manufacturer in Q3 2025.
- In China, economic revenuea) reported a limited decrease of -1.8% life-for-likec) in Q1 2026, outperforming the market which decreased sharply by -9.6%. In this country, Exterior activity operates through YFPO, the joint venture with Yanfeng and continues to enjoy strong commercial momentum with local customers, including the production of bumpers for Xiaomi and Huawei.
- In the rest of Asia, economic revenuea) rose sharply to €288 million in Q1 2026, up +14.8% like-for-likec) year-on-year, outperforming automotive productionh) by +10.8 points. The Group continues to record sustained growth in South Korea for module assembly activities for Hyundai and Kia. In addition, production launches for emissions reduction systems in Thailand for Toyota and fuel tanks in India for Renault drove C-Power activities.
OPmobility is mobilized to adapt to an uncertain environment
OPmobility is operating in a complex environment, marked by a slowdown in automotive production volumes and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, where the Group has no production facilities. This context generates increased cost volatility, particularly for raw materials and energy, as well as supply chain tension.
In this environment, OPmobility remains fully mobilized to contain these impacts notably by leveraging existing contractual mechanisms. Thus, certain contracts include raw material price indexation clauses, which are expected to produce effects over the year. For energy costs, OPmobility benefits from existing hedging instruments in Europe, its main region of operation. Lastly, as the Group’s production is predominantly local, the increase in freight costs due to tensions to logistics flows remains limited at this stage.
The Group remains attentive to the evolution of the situation and will adjust its cost measures accordingly.
Outlook
The Group’s Q1 2026 performance demonstrates the relevance of its diversification strategy and its commercial proximity to customers.
In Q2 2026, OPmobility aims to finalize the expansion of its joint venture YFPO’s activities, China’s leading manufacturer of exterior parts, into module assembly and signature and decorative lighting solutions. The Group also expects to complete the potential acquisition of a controlling stake in Hyundai Mobis’ lighting business by the end of 2026.
In 2026, the Group aims to improve operating margind), net result Group share, free cash flowe) and net debtf) versus 2025. OPmobility is closely monitoring current developments of the situation in the Middle East and its potential impacts on the automotive market.
