Mercedes-Benz more upbeat on signs US, China picking up

  • Mercedes-Benz raises vans returns outlook
  • Expects to hit higher end of cars outlook
  • Supply chains improving, costs stabilising – CFO
  • European demand still sluggish, uptick expected

BERLIN, April 28 (Reuters) – Mercedes-Benz (MBGn.DE) struck a slightly more optimistic tone alongside its first quarter results on Friday, saying demand in China and the United States was showing signs of picking up as markets recover from inflationary and supply chain shocks.

Demand in Europe was still sluggish, but the German automaker expects that to improve too in the coming months as consumer confidence rebuilds.

The company warned in February it expected lower earnings this year, even with sales remaining stable, because of high costs and inflationary pressure.

But on Friday it lifted guidance for the annual adjusted return on sales at its vans division to 11%-13% from 9-11%, and said it expected to hit the higher end of its 12%-14% forecast for returns in the cars division.

That came after it reported group earnings of 5.5 billion euros ($6.06 billion) for the first quarter, and adjusted return on sales for its cars division of 14.8%, above expectations but below last year’s 16.4% margin.

The vans division saw an adjusted margin of 15.6%, up from last year’s 12.6%, boosted by improved deliveries and pricing.

The carmaker boosted earnings in 2022 by hiking prices by more than the rise in its own costs, and planned to carry on doing this throughout 2023, Chief Financial Officer Harald Wilhelm said.

The company’s shares were little changed in early trading.

Its decision to cut costs with a direct sales model is underway, with the transition in Germany taking place in the second half of the year and 80% of the European market to be migrated to the new system by 2025, Wilhelm said.

Overall, global growth is likely to remain subdued, but inflation is gradually declining, energy prices are expected to be less volatile, and raw material prices are improving, it said.
