Stellantis expects gradual recovery in H2 and more 'tough decisions'
The group also forecast an improved industrial free cash flow performance in the second half compared with the first six months of the year, when it burned cash for 3 billion euros ($3.48 billion).
"Our new leadership team, while realistic about the challenges, will continue making the tough decisions needed to re-establish profitable growth and significantly improved results," new CEO Antonio Filosa said in a statement.
Stellantis said its forecasts for the second half were based on tariff rules in place as of Tuesday and estimated an overall tariff impact for 2025 of approximately 1.5 billion euros, including 300 million euros incurred in the first half.
For the first half, the maker of Jeep, Fiat and Peugeot cars broadly confirmed preliminary figures it released last week. They include a 13% drop in net revenues to 74.3 billion euros, an adjusted operating income margin of 0.7%, and a net loss of 2.3 billion euros.

Newcastle reject formal bid from Liverpool for Alexander Isak
Newcastle have rejected an offer from Liverpool for striker Alexander Isak. The Sweden international has told the Carabao Cup winners he wants to explore the possibility of a move away from St James' Park and Liverpool, who had made an inquiry about the 25-year-old last month, followed it up with a formal bid. Isak would be expected to command a price of over £100m and more than the club record sum Liverpool have paid for Florian Wirtz this summer. Newcastle had long maintained that Isak was not for sale, but Liverpool are testing that position and manager Eddie Howe has admitted his top scorer's future could be out of his hands. Howe left Isak out of the defeat to Celtic because of speculation and Isak missed Newcastle's pre-season tour of Asia with what the club described as a minor thigh injury, while he has been training with his former club Real Sociedad in a bid to return to fitness. Liverpool have spent around £250m this summer, which can rise to £300m including add-ons and the deal for goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, which was announced last year, but the Premier League champions are determined to be ambitious in their recruitment and head coach Arne Slot has said they will target the best players. They have brought in around £130m this summer, with the £65.5m sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich meaning they have lost one attacker. The Colombian spent some of last season operating as a centre-forward and scored 17 goals in the campaign. However, Liverpool have already paid an initial £69m for Hugo Ekitike, who they see primarily as a No 9 and who was also a target for Newcastle. Newcastle have also been frustrated in their attempts to buy a host of other forwards, including Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Bryan Mbeumo but while they are interested in Brentford's Yoane Wissa, they are yet to conclude a deal for him, while their only major signing this transfer window is winger Anthony Elanga. Isak scored 23 Premier League goals for Newcastle last season as well as a Carabao Cup final strike against Liverpool. He has three years left on his contract at Newcastle but is now unlikely to sign an extension.

Alexander Isak: Liverpool bid for striker rejected by Newcastle
Newcastle United have rejected a formal offer from Liverpool for Alexander Isak after the Premier League champions stepped up their pursuit of the striker. It is believed the bid was less than the £120million that the Liverpool sporting director, Richard Hughes, had previously indicated the club was prepared to pay when making informal contact with Newcastle almost two weeks ago. Newcastle's valuation for Isak is understood to be about £150million. The Sweden striker has been training alone with his former club Real Sociedad in Spain this week while Eddie Howe's side are on pre-season tour to Singapore and South Korea. The fact that Liverpool have now followed up with a firm bid demonstrates their determination to land Isak and also their intention to make life difficult for Newcastle. Isak, 25, wants to move to Anfield and is not interested in signing a new contract at St James' Park despite Newcastle's efforts to extend his stay. Liverpool have already spent £295million in the transfer market this summer, but their move for Isak reflects their continuing ambition to recruit the best players, having already brought in the likes of Florian Wirtz for £116million and Hugo Ekitike for £79million. Newcastle have previously said they do not want to sell Isak and the rejection of Liverpool's offer shows they are not simply going to cede to a Premier League rival and the wishes of their star player. They have been trying to add to their forward line, but have missed out on numerous players such as Liam Delap, João Pedro and Ekitike. They are interested in Benjamin Sesko but face stiff competition from Manchester United. Yoane Wissa, who did not train with Brentford on Thursday, remains a target.

EU court rules against green groups trying to block Spanish wind farms
MADRID, Aug 1 (Reuters) - The European Court of Justice on Friday dealt a blow to environmental groups trying to stop wind farms from being built in Spain's northwestern Galicia region, in a ruling affecting billions of euros of investment. Companies developing wind farms in Galicia and regional authorities welcomed the decision, which is a setback to opponents' strategy of using the courts to block plans they say encroach on the environment and the lives of local people. The court rejected the environmentalists' argument that the public's rights to consultation had been violated. The decision affects dozens of planned wind projects that were approved by the regional government and then halted by the highest regional court after locals and environmental groups filed hundreds of lawsuits. Last year, the Galician court asked the European Court of Justice to rule on whether Galician and Spanish laws comply with EU access to information rules in the permitting process. Carmen Bouso from the regional government's environment department said the court's decision "clearly and emphatically supports" the procedures used to approve wind energy projects and the government's full respect of the public's rights to participate in the process. She urged regional judges to resume their consideration of lawsuits that they had put on hold pending the ruling of the European court. The AEE, a Spanish wind industry group, welcomed the ruling as "a key step toward restoring legal certainty" in the region. "Now it's time to act quickly and responsibly so that the projects that have been stalled until now can resume operations as soon as possible," AEE General Director Juan Virgilio Marquez said. There are 92 wind farms targeted by legal actions in Galicia, 86 of which have been halted before construction started, according to data provided by regional authorities. They involve an estimated investment of 3 billion euros ($3.42 billion) and have a total planned capacity of almost 2.5 gigawatts (GW). ($1 = 0.8762 euros)
