I want to thank all employees for their efforts and commitment that allowed to achieve this result. Visibility for 2020 remains limited due to expected volatility in demand, notably in Europe because of the CAFE regulation and the possible impacts of the Corona virus. Nevertheless, the strengthening of the top management team, the Alliance revival and new models\u2019 success make me deeply confident in our ability to lead the Group\u2019s turnaround, <strong>commented Clotilde Delbos, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Renault.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boulogne-Billancourt, February 14, 2020:<br \/>\n<strong>Group revenues<\/strong> reached \u20ac55,537 million (-3.3%), including \u20ac3,130 million for AVTOVAZ (+3.0%). Excluding currency impact, Group revenues would have been down -2.7%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Automotive excluding AVTOVAZ revenues<\/strong> decreased -4.2% to \u20ac49,002 million.<\/p>\n<p>This decline was due to a negative volume effect of -1.4 points notably linked to lower sales in Argentina, Turkey and Algeria.<\/p>\n<p>Sales to partners were down -3.4 points due to lower vehicle production for Nissan and Daimler, as well as the decline in demand for diesel engines in Europe and the sharp drop in our CKD[2] business in China and the end of this activity in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The currency effect, negative by -0.7 points, was mainly due to the sharp devaluation of the Argentinian peso and the Turkish lira.<\/p>\n<p>The price effect, positive by +1.7 points, stemmed from efforts to offset these currency devaluations and price increases in Europe, notably related to regulatory costs. Since the fourth quarter, the price effect has benefited from a more ambitious pricing policy, particularly in Europe with New Clio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Group\u2019s operating margin<\/strong> amounted to \u20ac2,662 million and represented 4.8% of revenues compared to 6.3% in 2018.<br \/>\nAutomotive excluding AVTOVAZ operating margin was down -\u20ac920 million to \u20ac1,284 million, which represented 2.6% of revenues compared to 4.3% in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Zie voor meer informatie het <a style=\"color: #f7b300;\" href=\"https:\/\/media.renault-group.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Financial_results_Groupe_Renault_meets_its_revised_targets.doc\">Engelse persbericht<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite a troubled context, Groupe Renault achieved its targets, revised in October, with a 4.8% Group operating margin and a positive Automotive operational free cash flow.
