“We are building on a solid foundation created by profitability and sustainable action. The BMW Group is financially and economically stronger than ever. We never stand still, and we see transformation as an opportunity. The ramp-up of e-mobility, digitalisation and sustainability are our focus. We will continue to make a difference – as a global Impact Company.”
Oliver Zipse Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG
The financial year 2021 was very successful for the BMW Group. Despite challenging conditions, most notably the semiconductor shortage, we once again managed to achieve our goals in all segments.
Impressive financial figures for the year reflect our excellent performance and can be found here in our online report.
An operating margin of 10.3% places us at the higher end of our adjusted target range in the automotive sector, as expected.
Global sales returned to their pre-COVID levels in 2021. We also achieved all of our non-financial goals. For example, we once again met the EU’s prescribed CO2 requirements in 2021, and even beat them comfortably by around 10 g/km.
We have started 2022 with a great deal of momentum and intend to perform well for all of our stakeholders by offering attractive products. Our current business performance gives us the freedom to invest in a more targeted and focused manner, whilst also allowing us to create new products and services for our customers.
Finally, I would like to draw your attention to our new performance calculator in the online report. It presents a concise overview of the most important performance indicators and was modelled on our BMW iX. Personally, I am delighted with it. I hope you enjoy it too!
