Porsche Sets Strategic Course Towards 2035 with New Initiatives

Porsche AG unveils its strategic plan, 'Sportwagenschmiede '35,' aimed at enhancing its sports car identity while increasing profitability through 2035. At its core, the strategy focuses on brand exclusivity, technological advancements, and operational efficiency. Key initiatives include improved price-sales positioning, a cost-saving program, and a streamlined organization to enhance cash flow and reduce capital intensity.

Focusing on 'Value over Volume,' Porsche intends to expand its individualization range, targeting higher value creation per vehicle. The company aims to invest in powertrain and battery technologies, expanding into high-margin segments. The plan includes developing a mid-engined super sports car platform and potential expansion with a new SUV model.

Porsche targets a group operating return on sales of 10 to 15 per cent in the medium term, with ambitions to reach 15 per cent in the long term. Adjustments in enterprise operations involve cost reductions and increased production flexibility, aiming for a break-even point below 200,000 units.
