Mattighofen, August 27, 2026

Today, Bajaj Mobility AG has published the half-year financial report of 2026. Bajaj Mobility AG has not only continued the progress achieved in the first quarter, but also significantly accelerated it during the second quarter of 2026. Following positive EBITDA in Q1/26, the Group reported a positive EBIT in Q2/26 for the first time since completing the insolvency-related restructuring proceedings. Compared to the same quarter last year, EBIT improved to EUR 1.3 mn (Q2/25 adjusted for restructuring gains: EUR -164.7 mn). EBITDA margin also increased substantially, reaching 8.7% in Q2/26.

The majority of the margin improvement was driven by higher revenues. Approximately 25% was achieved through a reduction in overhead costs. This improvement in costs is due to the restructuring measures initiated in the first quarter of 2026, among other factors. These included the reduction of around 500 positions, primarily in salaried and middle-management functions, as well as organizational streamlining measures. Overall, overhead costs were reduced by EUR 56.9 mn year-on-year in Q2/26.

Since the beginning of the year, the Group and its dealers have reduced their worldwide motorcycle inventories by a further 10,190 units, bringing inventories back to stable levels.

CEO Gottfried Neumeister: “The first quarter showed that the turnaround is real, and the second quarter demonstrated that we are moving in the right direction. These results are neither a coincidence nor down to luck. Behind these figures are people: teams in Mattighofen and around the world who have worked tirelessly during a challenging year to secure the company’s future. With the support of our dealers, we have regained our customers’ trust. Backed by our new models and our motorsport successes, we are well positioned for a successful future.”

 

Highlights Q2/26:

• Bajaj Mobility AG revenue: EUR 370.2 mn (+60.5% vs. Q2/25: EUR 230.6 mn)
• Motorcycle revenue¹: EUR 307.3 mn (+117.5% vs. Q2/25: EUR 141.3 mn)
• Motorcycle sales volume¹: 48,672 units (+71.0% vs. Q2/25: 28,471 units)
• Overhead costs reduced by EUR 56.9 mn year-on-year (Q2/26: EUR 87.0 mn compared to EUR 143.9 mn in Q2/25)
• Positive EBITDA: EUR 32.0 mn | EBITDA margin: 8.7%
• EBIT improved to EUR 1.3 mn (vs. Q2/25 adjusted¹: EUR -164.7 mn)

CFO Petra Preining: “The improvement in EBITDA demonstrates that our restructuring program is having a positive effect on our operating performance. We have reduced overhead costs sustainably, secured financing and achieved healthy inventory levels. This provides us with a strong foundation for profitability and cash flow.”             
 

Sustained Strong Demand Drives Revenue and Sales Growth

Compared to the same quarter last year, operating performance improved significantly. Motorcycle sales volume increased by 71.0%, while motorcycle revenue rose by 117.5%, more than doubling year-on-year.

A total of 48,672 motorcycles were sold in the second quarter of 2026 (prior year: 28,471 motorcycles). Additionally, Bajaj recorded direct motorcycle sales of 28,387 units in India. This revenue and sales growth are clear evidence of the continued confidence our customers place in our brands.

Product Offensive Strengthens Market Position

The Group’s product offensive shaped the entire first half of 2026. In the first quarter alone, KTM introduced eight new models, including the KTM 990 RC R TRACK, KTM 890 SMT, KTM 890 ADVENTURE RALLY, and the 125-390 DUKE range. In the second quarter, KTM launched, among others, the new KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE RR, the limited-edition KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE RR TRACK, and the rally-inspired KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA. Additionally, the Enduro and Motocross model ranges were comprehensively updated for the 2027model year. Husqvarna Motorcycles also updated its Motocross portfolio with new TC and FC models.
