Mercedes-Benz to share jointly earned 2025 results with employees

• Profit-sharing bonus for the previous financial year expected to reach up to 3,139 euros
• Payment to around 85,000 eligible employees with April’s pay
• Recognition for great commitment and demonstrated winning attitude over the past year

Based on the preliminary results for the 2025 financial year published today, eligible Mercedes-Benz employees are expected to receive a profit-sharing bonus of up to 3,139 euros. In doing so, the company is sharing the jointly achieved results of the previous financial year with its employees. The final amount of the profit-sharing bonus is subject to the determination of the definitive results for the past financial year in March.

Around 85,000 eligible employees covered by collective agreements in Germany will receive the profit-sharing bonus with their April pay. The profit-sharing bonus is a voluntary benefit offered by the company.

Mercedes-Benz is thus acknowledging the great commitment and strong performance drive of its employees in an ongoing challenging economic environment. 

On the occasion of its 140^th anniversary, Mercedes-Benz is also giving all employees in Germany a Mercedes-Benz anniversary share. In this way, the company allows its employees to participate directly in the company's success, future dividends and value increases.

“In a continuing challenging global environment, our employees once again showed great commitment. I’d like to thank our entire team for their proven passion, pioneering power and unwavering will to succeed. This winning attitude has defined us for 140 years – and it’s what drives us as we shape the future of Mercedes-Benz: determined, united and moving forward at full speed.” 
Britta Seeger, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG. Human Relations & Labour Director

“Behind the results of the 2025 financial year is the performance of thousands of employees. Day after day, they take on responsibility and actively drive change at Mercedes-Benz. The profit-sharing scheme and the anniversary share are an important sign of recognition and participation - especially in a challenging environment. It shows: Performance, reliability and appreciation belong together. This is a central basis for tackling the upcoming tasks together and successfully.” 
Ergun Lümali, Chairman of the General Works Council of Mercedes-Benz Group AG

The amount of the profit-sharing bonus is based on a transparent calculation logic that reflects the achievement of the company’s financial targets (EBIT and [free] cash flow) as well as the systematic implementation of its sustainable business strategy. The profit-sharing bonus is independent of individual salary.

Mercedes-Benz Anniversary Year “140 Years of Innovation”

Since Carl Benz filed the patent for the first automobile 140 years ago and Gottlieb Daimler built his motorised carriage shortly afterwards, Mercedes‑Benz has dedicated itself to constantly innovate and to create the world’s most desirable cars for customers. This ambition has driven every innovation – from the world's first automobile in 1886 to today's intelligent and safe electric vehicles, like the all-new GLC and the award-winning all-new CLA. With the new S-Class, the company continues the biggest product launch programme in its history. With its passion for performance and pioneering power, excellence and an unwavering commitment to customer service, the brand has consistently shaped the future of mobility. The result goes well beyond engineering achievement – it creates the unmistakable feeling that leads through everything Mercedes‑Benz does: Welcome home.

Mercedes-Benz is celebrating 140 years of innovation by driving three new S-Class saloons on a trans-continental journey to 140 locations worldwide. Each place highlights the brand’s technology, heritage, pioneering spirit and worldwide presence. Along the way customers, fans and colleagues will get to join in the celebrations - on an epic adventure that will run until October. Follow the “140 Years. 140 Places” drive across six continents on our “140 years of innovation | Mercedes-Benz Media” special and via the Mercedes-Benz Community.
