Porsche is canceling employee bonuses due to significant financial losses, with a net profit drop of 91.4% and a move back to gasoline engines costing €2.4 billion. The company also struggled with electric cars and US tariffs.
Based on the available evidence, Porsche did not distribute bonuses to its employees in 2025 due to financial struggles and a substantial drop in profits. The claims regarding a 91.4% profit drop and a specific €310 million net profit are not exactly consistent with web evidence, which shows a slightly different financial picture. Porsche's challenges with electric cars and cost of returning to gasoline engines are also not fully corroborated by the available evidence.
