Antolin Returns to Profit with €4.1 Million by March

Antolin, the Burgos-based supplier of technological solutions for car interiors, has returned to positive figures in the first quarter of 2025, reporting a net profit of €4.1 million. This marks a significant shift from the €3.3 million loss recorded in the same period last year.

The company attributes this improvement to the effectiveness of its Transformation Plan's financial measures and the optimization of its global industrial network.

Antolin has also consolidated a strong improvement in its operating profitability, with a 15% year-on-year increase in EBITDA, reaching €95 million.

Both Europe and the Rest of the World (Morocco, Brazil, and South Africa) as well as North America, the two regions contributing most to the business and where operational efficiency and plant reorganization efforts have been focused, have shown solid performance. This is evidenced by significant EBITDA growth in both regions, with increases of 12% and 29%, respectively, and a 3% revenue increase in North America, although the figure fell by the same margin in Europe and the Rest of the World (Morocco, Brazil, and South Africa).

Asia also recorded a 3% decline in revenue, with a 15% drop in profitability, hampered by the completion of programs in China.

Despite these strong profitability results, Antolin's sales fell by 5.2%, amounting to €984.8 million between January and March.

The company explains that this decline is due to market instability and sluggish global vehicle production, with lower sales in Europe and Asia. However, North America experienced a 4% increase in turnover.

Antolin has managed to navigate the impact of international tariffs thanks to its diversified structure and continues with its plan to divest non-strategic assets, having already raised €12 million in the first quarter and expecting another €30 million in the second phase of the program.

The company asserts that it has made decisive progress in executing its plan to optimize its industrial footprint. So far this year, asset sales totaling €12 million have been realized, of which €10 million correspond to transactions closed during the first quarter. These divestments strengthen the company's financial position and consolidate its industrial positioning to face market changes, with a greater presence in more dynamic markets.

Antolin is one of the world's largest manufacturers of automotive components and a global supplier of technological solutions for vehicle interiors. The company supplies major car manufacturers with nearly 120 factories in 23 countries. It employs around 20,000 people and had a turnover of €4.191 billion in 2024.
