• In a market environment shaped by continuing operational disruptions, widespread inflation and limited visibility as to future demand, Michelin delivered growth in sales and is steering operations to ensure adequate inventory levels.
  • 9-monthmarkets remained on an upward trend:
    • End-user(sell-out) demand held firm in most regions and markets.
    • Passenger Car & Light Truck sell-in markets grew by 1.4%, lifted by a third-quarter recovery in Original Equipment (OE) demand, mainly in North America and China; Replacement markets remained stable, with a mix temporarily impacted by rising imports from Asia.
    • Truck tire sell-in markets -excluding China- expanded by 6.0% with an acceleration in the third quarter.
    • Specialty tire markets remained robust in all segments except Agricultural and Construction in the third quarter; demand remains strong in Mining.
  • Consolidated 9-month sales of €20.7bn, up 20.5% year-on-year, including 6.5% positive currency effect:
    • a 13.4% gain from price increases, reflecting the Group's policy of systematically passing on cost inflation factors and the growing impact of price indexation clauses.
    • a 0.9% increase from the mix effect reflecting growth in the Passenger Car 18-inch and larger segment and in Mining, partially offset by an adverse OE/RT mix effect in the Automotive business.
    • a 2.4% decline in volumes, mostly due to the exit from Russia and lockdowns in Chinese cities, amid persistent operational disruptions.
    • a 1.0% gain from changes in scope, mainly reflecting the consolidation of Allopneus.com.
    • Non-tiresales grew by 22% accounting for 1.1% of consolidated sales growth, demonstrating the validity of the ongoing Michelin in Motion Group strategy.
  • 2022 full-year guidance:
    • Segment operating income at constant exchange rates : confirmed > €3.2bn
    • Structural free cash flow : adjusted to ~ €700M

In an environment shaped by strong inflation and ongoing operational disruptions:

  • RS1: sales lifted by price increases introduced in Replacement in H1 and the impact of indexation clauses from July 1; positive mix supported by sustained growth in 18-inch and larger tires and favorable geo mix, despite a negative OE/RT mix; volumes decrease reflects the exit from Russia and weak demand from China in Q2, as well as the impact of the high volatility of the sell-in market mix in Q3.
  • RS2: sales growth supported by dynamic pricing management and continued expansion in fleet management solutions; volumes stable on the back of high volatility in the sell-in market mix in Q3 and a continued focus on the highest value market segments.
  • RS3: sales rose thanks to positive price effect, reflecting the price adjustments on July 1 in application of indexation clauses, and rebound in Mining volumes in Q3 as expected; sales in Non-tire businesses grew by 22% over the first nine months at constant exchange rates.
