Porsche plans to ramp up cost-cutting efforts due to declining sales in China and US import tariffs. CEO Oliver Blume aims to discuss further cost-saving measures, acknowledging the need for a new business model. The company faces lower demand for EVs in China and trade policy pressures in the US.

To improve profitability, Porsche targets an operating margin of 15%-17%, up from 8.6% in Q1. Following Volkswagen’s lead, the manufacturer aims to reduce production costs in Germany. Volkswagen recently reached an agreement with unions to cut production capacity and reduce its workforce by 35,000 over five years.

Porsche revised its financial outlook, citing challenges in Q1 due to a downturn in China and US tariffs. Group sales revenue for Q1 decreased by 1.7% to €8.86bn ($10.01bn) primarily due to lower vehicle sales. The company is navigating the changing tariff landscape with real-time data and market analysis.
