Carmaker Stellantis on Wednesday posted a 14% annual rise in first-quarter net revenues as an easing of semiconductor supply chain pressures boosted shipments.
The manufacturer of Jeep, Dodge, Peugeot and other brands said consolidated shipments increased 7% from the first quarter of 2022 to 1.48 million, as a result of "improvement in semiconductor order fulfilment."
"Our global footprint and diverse product portfolio means we are well-positioned to continue delivering strong financial performance throughout the year," Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer said in a statement. The company also initiated a 1.5 billion euro share buyback, with the first 500 million euro tranche expected to complete in June, and confirmed an ordinary dividend of 1.34 euros per share will be paid to shareholders on Thursday.
Stellantis' new vehicle inventory came in at 1,302 units as of the end of March, which the company said reflected a return to "more normal levels after a multi-year period of materially constrained supply, due principally to unfilled semiconductor orders."
