Porsche AG expects to receive about €1 billion ($1.16 billion) from the sale of its stake in the Bugatti supercar brand venture. This divestment, which involved selling its 45% stake in Bugatti Rimac and 21% stake in Rimac Group to a consortium led by HOF Capital, was completed on September 9, 2026, following regulatory approvals. The company had initially announced the sale in April 2026.
Out of the proceeds, Porsche plans to allocate €250 million to further fund its pension obligations. This financial maneuver is part of Porsche's strategy to concentrate on its core business. The sale's completion has also led Porsche to revise its 2026 automotive net cash flow margin forecast.
The sports car manufacturer now anticipates its full-year 2026 automotive net cash flow margin to be between 5.5% and 7.5%. This is a significant increase from its previous forecast of 3% to 5%. The improvement in the cash flow outlook is directly attributed to this cash inflow from the divestment and the pension funding.
