  • The environment in which the Group is currently operating is characterised by:
    • the persistent health crisis
    • extensive disruption across every supply chain
    • rising raw materials, logistics and now, energy costs
    • worsening labor shortages in North America and, to a lesser extent, in Europe
  • As comparatives turned less favorable than in H1, demand varied widely in the third quarter:
    • the OE PC/LT tire market fell 21% over the quarter, dragged down by the ongoing chip shortage, while the RT segment was stable
    • the Truck tire market continued to expand outside China, gaining 7% over the quarter, but plunged by a steep 30% in China
    • demand in the Specialty markets remained robust, with a particularly strong rebound in the OE Construction and Agricultural tire segments
  • With sales of €6 billion in the third quarter, consolidated sales ended the first nine months at €17.2 billion, up 15.6% year on year:
    • 14.8% growth in tire volumes, of which 1.3% in the third quarter
    • a 2.8% gain from price increases designed to offset sharply rising costs
    • a 1.3% increase from the mix effect, reflecting market share gains in the 18"+ segment and a favorable OE/RT mix in the Automotive division
    • a 5.8% increase in non-tire sales
    • a 3.5% decrease from the unfavorable currency effect
  • The Group maintains its guidance for 2021(1)
  1. Barring any new systemic impact from Covid-19, such as deeper supply chain disruptions or tighter restrictions on freedom of movement that could result in a significant drop in the tire markets.
