Quarterly Report Bajaj Mobility AG: 1st Quarter 2026
• Significant revenue growth to EUR 331.3 mn
• Motorcycle sales more than doubled
• Successful start into the motorsport season
Mattighofen, 13 May 2026
Bajaj Mobility AG (formerly PIERER Mobility AG) made a successful start to
the 2026 financial year. The first quarter showed a significant
operational improvement compared to the same quarter of the previous year:
sales of motorcycles of the KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS brands increased
strongly, the restructuring measures were effective and therefore had a
positive impact on the most important key figures.
Highlights Q1 2026:
• Significant revenue growth: EUR 331.3 mn (+70.2% vs. Q1/25)
• Motorcycle units[1][1]: increased by +125.1% to 40,332 units
• Motorcycle revenue rose by even +151.6% to EUR 272.4 mn
• Positive EBITDA: EUR 5,5 mn (EUR -55,8 mn vs. Q1/25)
• EBIT improved by EUR 65.5 mn (+71.5% vs. Q1/25)
• Equity: EUR 350.7 mn | Equity ratio: 22.2%
• Successful refinancing of KTM AG: EUR 550 mn
• Worldwide inventories have been further reduced
Strong demand and improved earnings situation confirm the restructuring
program
The sales trend in the first quarter of 2026 showed the strong demand for
motorcycles of KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS. Overall, motorcycle unit sales
rose from 17,915 to 40,332 motorcycles (+125.1% vs. Q1/25). Motorcycle
revenue more than doubled compared to the first quarter of 2025 from EUR
108.3 mn to EUR 272.4 mn (+151.6% vs. Q1/25).
At the same time, the full focus on the restructuring program remained.
The concentration on the motorcycle business and the reduction of
organizational complexity have led to a sustainable cost reduction. Global
inventories were further reduced. Group revenue increased by +70.2% to EUR
331.3 mn. Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 also includes EUR 1.0 mn
(vs. Q1/25: EUR 26.8 mn) from the sale of remaining stocks in the bicycle
segment.
In addition to the positive sales development, the consistent
restructuring measures had a significant impact on the result of operating
activities. Compared to the previous year, EBIT improved by EUR 65.5 mn
from EUR -91.6 mn to EUR -26.1 mn (+71.5%). EBITDA is positive at EUR 5.5
mn (vs. Q1/25: EUR -55.8 mn). The equity value was at EUR 350.7 mn as of
March 31, 2026. The equity ratio equals 22.2%.
Refinancing successfully completed – financial basis strengthened
A key milestone of the first quarter of 2026: KTM AG successfully
completed the refinancing of EUR 550 mn in February 2026. The unsecured
loan with a maturity of five years and very favorable terms was provided
by an international banking consortium consisting of J.P. Morgan SE, HSBC,
DBS Bank Limited and MUFG Bank Ltd. The transaction enabled the full
repayment of Bajaj Auto International Holdings B.V.’s restructuring loan
of around EUR 473 mn (incl. payment-in-kind) and significantly strengthens
the Group’s financial basis and flexibility.
CFO Petra Preining: „The significant increase in motorcycle sales and the
positive EBITDA prove that our operational realignment is taking effect.
At the same time, we have sustainably strengthened our financial stability
with the refinancing and created the basis for profitable growth.“
Organisational structure streamlined – KTM AG Management reinforced
In the course of the restructuring, further measures were taken to
streamline structures to sustainably strengthen our competitiveness. In
the first quarter of 2026 a staff reduction of 500 employees was
initiated, mainly affecting the white-collar sector and middle management.
This is expected to be completed by Q3 2026. The measures were developed
in close cooperation with the works council and the social partners to
ensure a socially responsible implementation.
At the same time, KTM AG is strengthening its management: On April 1,
2026, Stephan Reiff took over the position as Chief Commercial Officer and
is responsible for marketing and sales activities with the aim of
improving the company’s commercial performance. Starting with May 4, 2026,
Klaus Allisat took over the position of Vice President Sales Europe,
Johann von Balluseck that of Vice President Sales Rest of World. With
these appointments, the company is sending a clear signal for consistent
further development in its international core markets.
Start of the 2026 motorsport season underlines global competitive strength
The success in motorsport continued in 2026 and underlines the Group’s
technological leadership position:
• Luciano Benavides won the 2026 Dakar Rally with Red Bull KTM Factory
Racing – KTM’s 21st Dakar title
• Billy Bolt crowned SuperEnduro World Champion for Husqvarna Factory
Racing for sixth consecutive year
• Lucas Coenen leads the MXGP World Championship
• Simon Längenfelder and Sacha Coenen are in the double lead of the MX2
championship
Outlook for 2026:
For the 2026 financial year, the focus is on continuing the restructuring
program and to increase profitability. The efficiency program will
continue with full focus on streamlining the product and project
portfolio.
CEO Gottfried Neumeister:
„The first quarter of 2026 marks a noticeable turning point for our
company. The positive response to our new models combined with implemented
restructuring measures shows that we have set the right priorities. Now it
is important to use this momentum, further increase our efficiency and
secure sustainable profitability.“
