N/B: Porsche's revenue reported at the group level is less than that reported at the subsidiary level by around EUR 800-900 million (average of 851 million in the last four quarters). Similarly, the EBIT reported at the Group level has been less than that reported by Porsche in the past four quarters by an average of 76 million euros. '''That means analysts are projecting Porsche's revenue at the Group level to be around EUR 8.38 billion (growth of -5.7% y/y) in Q3 2024 while operating return on sales (EBIT: EUR 966 million) will be around 11.5%'''.
