Mate Rimac recently highlighted that Bugatti Rimac, with exports of approximately 369 million euros, ranks among Croatia's leading exporters. The 2025 financial report indeed shows remarkable performance, but the accompanying notes reveal a crucial detail without which it is difficult to correctly interpret these figures.
In 2025, Bugatti Rimac d.o.o. recorded 371.1 million euros in sales revenue, while net profit reached 114.5 million euros. However, of the total sales revenue, as much as 337.995 million euros comes from transactions with related parties, of which 337.888 million euros with Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. in France.
Not About Selling Cars to End Customers
This is an important distinction. This is not 338 million euros from vehicle sales to end customers worldwide, but rather revenue that Croatian Bugatti Rimac generated in exchanges with companies within its group. Bugatti Automobiles in France is wholly owned by Bugatti Rimac, and it is this company that produces and sells Bugatti brand cars.
A Dramatic Turnaround in Three Years
The jump in business is particularly evident when comparing the last three years. According to publicly disclosed financial data reported by Teleskop.hr, Bugatti Rimac had revenues of 144.5 million euros and expenses of 173 million in 2023, resulting in a loss of 18.8 million euros. In 2024, revenues fell to 73.9 million, expenses rose to 271.8 million, and the loss amounted to nearly 160 million euros. By 2025, a complete reversal occurs: revenues rose to approximately 381 million euros, expenses were around 252.6 million, and net profit reached 114.5 million.
The financial notes show where the biggest change occurred: Bugatti Rimac's revenues from its own subsidiaries increased from just 21.3 million euros in 2024 to nearly 338 million in 2025.
Common Practice, but Crucial Context
This does not mean that the business is improper. Transactions between related companies in multinational groups are common practice. However, it means that Bugatti Rimac's result should not be presented solely as spectacular growth in car sales. For a full understanding of 2025, it is essential to know that the majority of the Croatian company's revenue came from business with its own French subsidiary.
