Auto1 Group SE (XETRA:AG1G) used its 2026 capital markets presentation on Wednesday to publish long-term objectives for both its merchant and retail businesses and to reconfirm guidance for the current year.
The company maintained its 2026 outlook for consolidated volumes, targeting total units sold in the range of 940,000 to 1,000,000 vehicles. Alongside that aggregate target, management disclosed distinct growth and profitability benchmarks for the two operating segments.
For the merchant business, Auto1 set a long-term annual unit growth goal of 10% to 15%. On a per-unit basis the company expects gross profit to fall between 1,080 and 1,200. Adjusted EBITDA per unit for the merchant channel is projected in a range from 480 to 720.
The retail division carries a more aggressive expansion objective: long-term annual unit growth of 20% to 40%. Per-unit economics in retail are shown at notably higher levels than in merchant, with gross profit per unit expected between 3,880 and 4,470 and adjusted EBITDA per unit projected at 1,450 to 2,410.
Management framed these figures as long-term targets for each segment while keeping the consolidated 2026 unit range unchanged. The presentation also included a reaffirmation of the company's guidance for the current year, though no additional changes to that guidance were announced at the event.
The targets provide a clear set of metric bands for evaluating future performance at both the merchant and retail level: unit growth trajectories, expected gross profit contribution per vehicle, and adjusted EBITDA per vehicle. The merchant targets are lower on both growth and per-unit profitability compared with the retail targets, which reflect higher per-vehicle economics in the retail channel as presented by the company.
