AutoWallis Accelerates Vehicle Sales

AutoWallis Group’s vehicle sales rose significantly, by 8.4% in the first nine months of the year. The growth was primarily driven by the Retail Business Unit, which expanded by more than 21%, while the Distribution Business Unit also outperformed last year’s figure by 2.5% after catching up with earlier quarters. The strong sales performance of the region’s leading integrated automotive and mobility service provider was supported by both organic growth and acquisitions, the company says in its Q1–Q3, 2025 sales report published on the website of the Budapest Stock Exchange.

The main growth driver remained the Retail Business Unit, which increased new vehicle sales by 21.1% to 8,716 units, while used vehicle sales grew by 45.2% to 2,766 units. The business unit performed well despite a temporary surge in sales during the base period, caused by unique factors – specifically campaigns for Japanese brands (Toyota, Suzuki, Nissan) that ended in March last year.

Of the increase in new vehicle sales, 1,400 units were attributable to the Czech acquisitions completed last year – of three BMW dealerships of NC Auto (Stratos) and the Milan Král Group – as well as to the sales generated by the new Renault and Dacia dealership opened in Budapest last autumn. The number of service hours rose by 46.8% to 232,742 hours in the first nine months of the year.

The Distribution Business Unit increased its sales by 2.5% to 27,924 units in the first three quarters of 2025 compared with the same period last year. Given that sales were 3.7% lower in the first half, this shows that the Group not only offset the decline during the July–September period but also accelerated sales compared to last year. The growth was largely driven by the strong performance of Dacia, the improved results of Opel (mainly thanks to the Croatian market), which were lagging behind in the previous quarters, and the start of Nissan’s operations in Romania.

In the Mobility Services Business Unit – which includes the short- and long-term car rental and fleet management activities of the AutoWallis Group, listed on the Prime Market of the Budapest Stock Exchange – the number of rental transactions grew by 5.8% to almost 300,000 (299,983), while the number of rental days increased by 16.8% to 183,433. AutoWallis Group’s average fleet size rose by 4.6% to 4,032 vehicles in the first nine months of the year.

Commenting on the third-quarter sales results, Gábor Ormosy, CEO of AutoWallis, said that besides organic growth, the company’s performance was also boosted by business developments and acquisitions completed in the recent period. Representing 30 brands in 17 countries across the region, AutoWallis has a well-diversified country, brand, and activity portfolio and continues to grow steadily even in a volatile economic environment. According to the CEO, the Group’s new vehicle sales could reach 100,000 units by 2028, of which 75,000 would come from the Distribution Business Unit and 25,000 from the Retail Business Unit. AutoWallis published its updated strategy last spring, setting the target of doubling its revenue and profit by 2028 and continuing its international growth story.
