Škoda Remains the Second Best-Selling Brand in Europe
During the first three quarters of 2026, Škoda Auto achieved favourable financial results. Revenue grew by 3.5% to €23.1 billion (over CZK 562 billion), operating profit rose by 7.4% to €1.9 billion (more than CZK 46 billion) and net cash flow reached €1.8 billion (almost CZK 44 billion). The operating return on sales remains solid at 8.3% (last year: 8.0%), confirming the position of the Škoda brand as one of the most profitable volume brands in Europe. The Czech carmaker delivered 812,400 cars to customers around the world, a year-on-year increase of 6.1%. In its main market of Europe (EU 27+4), the carmaker registered 666,798 cars according to official data from ACEA, consolidating its position as the second best-selling brand. Electric and plug-in hybrid cars in this region now account for 29.8% of Škoda deliveries (a year ago: 24.1%). Demand for electric cars grew even further thanks to two new models, the Epiq and the Peaq, which together secured more than 82,000 orders by mid-October. Growth continued in India, where deliveries reached 53,200 cars (+7.8%) thanks to strong demand for the modernised Slavia and Kushaq models.
