Mercedes-Benz reported a 70% drop in net profit for the third quarter of 2025, amounting to 750 million euros (875 million dollars), compared to 2.5 billion euros in the same period last year. The adjusted profit before interest and taxes reached 2.1 billion euros, impacted by exceptional items, most notably payments to terminated employees. The company attributed the decline to restructuring costs, U.S. tariffs, and weak global demand for luxury cars. Despite this, Mercedes-Benz confirmed its full-year forecast but warned of ongoing challenges.
