Good morning. Good morning, and welcome to our 2020 results presentation. I also would like to thank you for your interest. The agenda of this morning, I will start with the 2020 highlights, followed by the financial review made by Michel Favre, and we will close the session with takeaways and a Q&A session. 2020 highlights. The first thing is, of course, related to the COVID-19 and how with Safer and Stronger Together, our protocol, we resisted to it. It worked well, and it is recognized by our population, our Faurecians, through an employee survey we've made, which showed best ever result in terms of being federated to what we are doing. Thank you very much for all our people for this discipline and this rigor in the way we implemented it.
It's also related to agility and resilience during this period of time, which allowed us to even accelerate our cost reductions, and we will be back on this. Strong recovery in the second half. All the committed targets are overachieved. Sales of EUR 8.5 billion. We had a target of at least EUR 8 billion. To be underlined, Q4 at +2%, excluding about EUR 100 million of tooling and prototype sales, which we will find back in 2021. They were delayed. If I would also consider in this fourth quarter about EUR 100 million of late SOPs or delayed SOPs, we would be significantly above the IHS Q4 forecast. An operating margin at 6.1% for a target of at least 5.5%. We had EUR 45 million of one-offs, which will be explained. Without them, we would have been at 6.7%. An EBITDA margin at 13.8%.
A net cash flow, this is really the good news, at EUR 1.1 billion for a target of at least EUR 700 million, which allowed us to offset the cash spent in the first half. It shows also that we are able to cope with a reduction of volumes of about 20%. This allowed us a significant deleveraging. Rigorous management of liquidity with recovered financial flexibility at year-end. In fact, at year-end, we were EUR 800 million better than the 31st of December 2019. A new record intake of EUR 26 billion, I will be back on this figure. Accelerated momentum for hydrogen, which confirms our strategy. We strongly believe in the acceleration of the hydrogen activities. A deployment of carbon neutrality program with ambitious targets. We have two ESG targets, priorities. It's gender diversity and CO2 neutrality.
About customer satisfaction, the reality is that only the order intake is a very concrete reward related to customer satisfaction. It is related to innovation, to technology, to performance. It is, of course, related to quality. It is related to the easy to work with, and it is related to competitiveness. We achieved EUR 26 billion, which is our record figure, and which allows on a three-year cumulative an order intake of EUR 72 billion. We will see during the CMD this afternoon how it mechanically allows us to forecast close to EUR 25 billion in 2025. We overachieved also the order intake of Clarion Electronics related or compared to what we indicated during our CMD in 2019 at EUR 2.5 billion versus EUR 2.1 billion. China represented 20% of our total order intake. We are here, I think, on the right momentum.
It was a great year and this is the level we want to maintain for the years to come. About 2021. Our current assumption is maybe conservative at 76.6 million vehicles. It represents versus the 70.7, which were achieved in 2020, plus 8%. Versus IHS latest forecast, which is showing plus 14%, we are below. We are below, not so much in H1. We are more conservative versus IHS in the second half. In the first half, related to the COVID and the COVID variants, but also related to some supply chain disruptions, to start with, electronic components, but not only, we see some risks. IHS, since December of last year, has reduced for the first half, I should say, the first quarter, its forecast by about 900,000 vehicles.
We are pretty much aligned with the forecast in the first half, but we have, for sure, opportunities in the second half, which our small table here is clearly showing. This allows us, on 2021 guidance, with strong operating leverage and solid cash flow generation. Again, it is calculated on a forecast of 76.6 million vehicles. With this one, we forecast an excess of EUR 16.5 billion of sales, with a strong outperformance above 600 basis points. I think that this is what will characterize the day, and including the CMD of this afternoon, we are back on outperformance on sales outperformance. An operating margin close to 7% of sales, which is close to the pre-COVID level. A net cash flow of EUR 500 million, which is including EUR 180 million, which are related to cash outflow from the restructuring we decided and we executed in 2020.
With this, we are here better than the net cash flow we generated in 2019. You also have, for 2019, to exclude the sales of our headquarter in Japan, Saitama. This allows us a net debt to EBITDA below 1.5x at year-end. This was, in a nutshell, our highlights. Now, Michel, the results.
Thank you, Patrick. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I will start with this curve of recovery of sales. As you can see, and it is usual for the automotive business, recovery was very quick. Still, low volumes mainly July for North America and Europe. The quick recovery, close to volumes, I speak for the worldwide market production to, we say the one of 2019, knowing that 2019 is a low base in the cycle, something like minus 8% versus 2017. As Patrick highlighted, we were impacted by low level of tooling and prototype due to the postponement of start of our production. This will, of course, favor our growth in 2021. Of course, we will have a lot of start of our production, as you know. Altogether, we are at - 0.3% in Q4 versus last year. I will say, very close to 2019.
You have on the top the evolution of our sales. Currency effect was highly negative due to the dollar. First, a little, the renminbi. On the other side, we have the benefit of the integration of SAS, the scope. This we will have still one month in 2021 because we were consolidating since the 1st of February. You see the figure, EUR 324 for SAS. Altogether, -3.5% organic growth, respect to market at -0.3%. You will see that we are accelerating. This last quarter is always showing an acceleration, and clearly, you will see month per month in 2021, a strong acceleration. We are very confident that we will outperform the market by more than 600 basis points. We'll be helped as well by the geographic mix. For the result, you have a lot of impacts, scope, et cetera.
In the scope and other, if you remember, there was a EUR 16 million in 2019 Piscines one-off. Cautiously, we didn't book anything last year. We are waiting for a final ruling. Clearly, we have as well enough sight on this. What is important to notice is first, some one-off due to the COVID. We have depreciated our inventory of masks. We were facing an administrative closure of an important plant in North Africa. The cost of it was close to EUR 10 million. This, of course, is a one-off due to this famous COVID. We have as well provided cautiously the end of some production of some Chinese car makers who were definitely damaged and killed by the crisis. Altogether, and it is important to notice that the run rate is 6.7%.
If you take this run rate, if you take the growth due to the outperformance, if you take the cost cutting, I will go back on that. Last but not least, the improvement of margin because we will start a new, modest new projects at a better margin than before, and mainly at a better margin, of course, than our guidance because the goal is 8%. We can enter in 2021 with, I will say, very positive figures. Cost actions. I am highlighting here only the recurring, I will say, cost action, the one which will be valid anyway in 2022. On the half year, we have counted EUR 66 million. You will see the figure now for the full year, which is on the bottom, EUR 145 million. In my budget, you know my commitment.
When I compare 2021 and 2019, we are over EUR 150 million net cost savings between 2019 and 2021. This figure will be above EUR 200 million net cost savings. We are in a much better shape. I will not come back on the figure for the full year, but clearly, we have demonstrated our resilience. We have demonstrated as well how we are building, I will say, a strong profitability in 2021, 2022. Zooming on the business, Seating is back to the profitability of 2019. Seating was impacted by this problem of COVID in North Africa. We are more speaking of a 7%, or close to 7% margin in the second half. Clearly, Seating will post, firstly, a very big growth. You know that we have some important Start of Production. Some are well-known, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, but as well we have the Nissan Frontier.
We have the first start late in 2021, it will be more for 2022, of two big platforms for France. Seating will be probably the best, I will say, efficient business in 2021. Interiors impacted by the, I will say, the drop of sales, by some customer mix. Clearly, the tooling sales, sorry, they will resume growth and outperformance this year. Probably something like 400 basis points. You see the operating margin, 4.3%. As you have seen, we have announced that we are stopping the activity of decoration, that we are divesting the Acoustic. That means that, in fact, pro forma, we are above 5%, and Interiors will be very probably at 6% or above 6% in 2021. Clean Mobility impacted by the, I will say, the trend on the commercial vehicles, both in Europe and North America.
Resuming of a figure of profitability close to 10%. Some impacts in the COVID as well. Clearly, next year, 2021, sorry, we are clearly targeting the same magnitude of outperformance than Interiors, 300, 400 basis points, and somewhere, I will say, a margin double digit. Clarion Electronics probably, I will say, a very efficient turnaround, very big cost-cutting program achieved. As you can see, we are in a low level of sales. We are giving a target of more than EUR 900 million of sales for this year, so big growth. On top of that, of course, margin, which was flattish, zero this year, will go probably to something like 3% in 2021. Europe was impacted by the low volumes, including third quarter, was impacted by the tooling sales, which is why margin is slightly below 5%.
As you know as well, decoration and AST are as well European activities. Europe will be back to growth, and with an outperformance, and as well, Europe will be back probably to something like 6% operating margin in 2021. North America, same thing in 2020. Low commercial vehicles, as well as some difficulties for the Nissan volumes. We have a lot of startup of production in North America. We will benefit of this growth. We will benefit of the cost-cutting program. Clearly, same thing as Europe, a margin of 6% minimum must be achieved. Very good performance was Asia and mainly China. We strongly outperformed in China and will continue to strongly outperform this year. We are back to double-digit profitability. As you have seen, we have provided some risk in China. The margin must be as well inflated with this impact. Very strong performance.
As you know, 2021 started on a very positive basis. We are very positive, and we think that Asia could be, I will say, a further upside for the group in 2021, 2022. South America, more complex to comment. Strong drop of sales. On one side, we were clearly reducing our exposure to Argentina, which was a loss-making activity. We have made our homework to variabilize cost and to save this 3% operating margin, which must be repeated at least in 2021. For the group, gross margin at 12%. We target to be back at the level of 2019 in 2021. What is important to notice is the big reduction of R&D, 24.10%, and moreover, of course, of gross R&D. In the capitalization, you see still a high figure, but we have EUR 225 million, which are tooling, so that means which will be sold this year.
Without that, it is EUR 619, very low figure respect to the past. Whatever the fact that we have some small perimeter scope impact. On the selling and administrative expenses, we reduce by minus 10%. We made as well our homework on this side. For the rest of the P&L, what is clearly to be noticed is the restructuring, big acceleration. We massify our plants. We were closing a lot of plants. At the end of the year, early this year, we have some, well, we say important impact coming from one announcement from Ford that they will reintegrate an activity in Cologne. We have provided for that, same thing, Ford close their operation in South America, or will close very soon. As well, we have provided that, is a balance sheet of 2020. It is why the figure is quite high.
We are giving this, I will say, guidance is that figure will go back to something like EUR 120 million P&L impact, and less than 100 from 2022 onwards. On corporate tax, a high figure. If you remember, we impaired some deferred tax asset in the first half. Cautiously, we were not recovering that in the second half. This is a clear upside for the future. To be blunt, we have more than EUR 500 million of cost of tax. I will say P&L impact and to recover in the next years. We are back in France to positive figures now since, I will say 2016. This will accelerate and will favor this recovery. Cash flow. As Patrick was saying, it was the best performance, above our expectation. We were back in H2 to a very positive figure, EUR 1 billion.
What is very positive is that we were able to recover as a negative working capital of the first half. Of course, as a CapEx, we made our homework, a reduction by 30%. Capital R&D, same thing, more than 15% reduction. Now, a part of this will come back in 2021. Take as an assumption that CapEx will go back to something like EUR 650, and capital R&D to something like EUR 700 million. We will have a one-off impact in 2021. It is a restructuring. More probably something like EUR 118 million cash out because a big part of the people leaving will be paid, are paying, in fact, this quarter. Altogether, when you will compare 2019 and 2020, EBITDA at least the figure of 2019. CapEx reduction. CapEx R&D, same thing. More, I will say, restructuring. Working capital, we target to be flattish, even positive.
As you know, we have a big target, which is to reduce inventories by one day, EUR 90 million. If you're on the bottom, you have a EUR 99 million in 2019. This is a Saitama divestment highlighted by Patrick. Of course, it was a one-off. Altogether, when you take our guidance of EUR 500 million, it is a much better quality of the figure of 2019. For the figure below the cash flow, the main impact is the SAS acquisition of EUR 164 million. What is remarkable for us is that I gave a guidance of EUR 3.5 billion of net debts. Thanks to the net cash flow of the second half, we were able to reduce our net debts and to be at EUR 3.1 billion, which is a very positive figure towards less than EUR 3 billion in 2021, which is our target.
As a leverage, this allows us to be below two. In fact, if I take the run rate, we are already very close to the 1.5 indicated in this slide. I gave you to remember as well, one key objective, it was to overtake EUR 1 billion of EBITDA. You see the figure. With the run rate we have, we'll improve, of course, the figure, this figure in the next two semesters. Small flash on the debts. We have enhanced our, I will say, the net debts with the issue of the two bonds, one new bond and one tap, EUR 1 billion late July. As you can see, we have a very solid maturity, something like five years. Low cost, something like 2.7%. We have a very large, I will say, flexibility through our, I will say, syndicated line, more than EUR 1.2 billion.
Last but not least, a very solid liquidity. I think we have everything to, I will say, make a very nice rally in the next two years. Last but not least, as you can see, strong confidence in our capability to drive all our targets. One is to go back to dividend. We passed the dividend last year respect to the net cash flow. We are back to dividend, EUR 1 per share. Our intention, our objective is, of course, to restart the strong rally, the strong momentum you can see on this slide. I give the floor back to Patrick for the conclusion.
Thank you, Michel. The takeaways. In 2020, Faurecia continued to deploy its strategy while achieving a very resilient performance and getting ready for 2021, which is a specific year for Faurecia. As far as the strategy is concerned, we made a record year in terms of order intake with EUR 26 billion. We accelerated further our hydrogen mobility solutions activities on both sides, on the storage side, and also with Michelin on the stack side. We committed some on ESG, our two priorities. We have very clear targets, and we are focused on these targets, CO2 neutrality and gender diversity. It's something we will detail more this afternoon during the CMD. A very resilient performance in 2020 with a recovery of our profitability in the second half, achieving an operating margin at 6.1%, 6.7% excluding the one-offs, an EBITDA margin at 13.8%.
I said it before, on sales level in the fourth quarter, which is preparing the path forward in 2021. Strong cash generation in the second half, exceeding EUR 1 billion and offsetting the cash consumption we had during the first half. Strong liquidity restored, I said it before, EUR 800 million more than the 31st of December 2019. Why is it a special year for Faurecia? First of all, because we are back on sales outperformance, and I think that this was important. We said it, we knew it, we saw it coming through the order intake and our order book, but it's now becoming reality. Independent shareholder structure with an excess of 85% of free float past spin-off, which should support new value creation opportunities on track for 2022 and also ready for the 2025 ambitions we will present during the CMD this afternoon.
Thank you very much for your attention. We are now open to start our Q&A session.
We will now take our first question from Thomas Besson from Kepler. Please go ahead.
Thank you very much. It's Thomas Besson, Kepler. I have three questions, please. Could you come back on some of the elements of divestment and acquisitions you've announced recently, please? Both in terms of the decoration system and what you've acquired in hydrogen. Could you just give us maybe the revenues annually of these two activities and the impact on the profitability of the group they integrate? I'd like you to come back on the main growth drivers for Asia in 2021. Understood that it was going to be with North America, the main area of growth. Lastly, more of a housekeeping question. Could you give us an indication of what we should expect in terms of CapEx and tax rate for 2021, please? Thank you.
[Foreign language] Thomas. Divestments and acquisitions. We decided to divest our acoustics activity, and we also decided to dry out our deco activity. Cumulated in 2020, they represented about EUR 380 million of sales and an excess of EUR 35 million of losses. Ask why? We have no chance to achieve a leading position on this activity. We believe that this activity will develop much better and will be synergetic to Adler Pelzer. I think that this is a good move. It is not directly related to the core business of Faurecia. Nevertheless, we decided with Adler Pelzer to continue to partnership on this and to integrate them into our cockpit of the future developments. On deco, it's part of deco. We are here focusing on aluminum parts and some wood parts.
It's an activity we entered very late, and we have never been able really to catch up with the best in class in this domain. The dry out will be effective the fourth quarter of this year, so it means also some restructurings which have been decided and which have been accrued in 2020. Yes, we will grow in Asia in 2021 and in North America. In Asia, we will grow significantly with FCE, which has won a lot of new businesses. Clean Mobility will also be back with a significant growth. Even if in China for the CVI, for the commercial vehicles, we have a specific situation. Regulations will support Clean Mobility, and we will have growth related to the new joint ventures we have decided in 2020. We have signed in 2020, which will pay off and which will support and boost our growth.
Sorry, for the first part, divestment and acquisitions. I've forgotten acquisitions. We bought CLD. CLD is one of the top three Chinese hydrogen storage system suppliers. We are very proud of this. It's a company which is providing tanks to Toyota, which is providing tanks to Hyundai, and which is a leading technology company, very active with the fast-growing OEMs in China. This is just a sign that we will continue our development. We will detail this development on the hydrogen side during this afternoon. On the hydrogen storage side, we will have plants in 2021 active, delivering serial components in China, in Korea, and in Europe. CapEx?
Good morning, Thomas. 650.
Tax rate?
Tax rate 25%-26%.
Thank you very much to both of you.
Thank you, Thomas.
Thank you.
We will now take our next question from Stephen Reitman from Societe Generale. Please go ahead.
Yes, good morning. Congratulations on the figures. The question just on your forecast for 2021, is this the furthest you've ever digressed from IHS? I just want to get your feeling for the ability to predict the market in 2021. Obviously, we haven't quite divergent views from some of the OEMs on Friday, Renault passing quite a cautious note, whereas I think some of the Germans have been much more positive. I'm just really looking at your kind of thought process there.
Thank you for this question. Forecast. The first half, and especially the first quarter, is uncertain or was uncertain because time passing, we have more visibility, mainly related to the electronic components shortages. I think that this is more on supply chain disruption issue than a capacity issue. It is related to some very different momentums on the orderings, especially starting in the second quarter of 2019. I think that the peak of the disturbance will be achieved in March. What we see today is we have sporadic slowdowns or shutdowns. It might be one shift, it might be a few hours. We don't see something massive. We don't see it neither in Europe nor in America or in China. When we listen to our OEMs, they don't know. They are not procuring directly these components.
They are getting the information through their tier ones and their big tier ones. One supplier in Taiwan, to give you an an idea, a wafer and microcontroller supplier, is representing about 70% of the worldwide automotive requests. These 70% are representing for him less than 3% of its sales. This gives you the situation in which we are. It's a supply chain which was not correctly managed, maybe not correctly known, and this has to change in the coming months. COVID-19, we had also at the beginning of the year, the concern about the variants, which is still there, but seems to be under control. When you look at globally, we see a slight contraction of the contamination rates.
I'm not saying that we are out of the difficulties, nevertheless, this with the vaccinations and the vaccination campaigns should support a recovery at the end of the first half. In a nutshell, we have about 4 million vehicles difference with IHS, less than 1 million in the first half and about 3 million in the second half. If the things would get confirmed, if the today identified risks would get mitigated until the end of the first half, we clearly have an upside, an opportunity on volumes in the second half.
That's very clear. Thank you.
We will now take our next question from Horst Schneider from Bank of America. Please go ahead.
Horst? We can't hear you.
Sorry. Can you hear me now?
Yes. Perfectly.
Perfect.
Thank you, Horst.
Okay, thank you. Sorry, I was on mute. On the shortage issue, Patrick, when you made the introduction to your speech in this call, you said it's largely semiconductor. Just want to understand if there's also shortage on other materials, and that may be also relating to the supply chain. As a follow-up to that also, I think you don't suffer from high purchasing costs, because it's largely passed through for you. Maybe you can update us, on the impact. The other question that I had, that was on the outperformance and maybe if that is related also to a positive mix effect because the OEMs is basically prioritizing more profitable models where you have got then also more content. Maybe you can also elaborate on that. The last one is more housekeeping issue. When is now exactly the spin-off from Stellantis happening?
Thank you.
Thank you for the questions. Shortages. The main shortage is very clearly the electronic components, but you also heard about containers, maritime containers, especially, for the routes between the U.S. and China and Europe and China. We are not impacted by that. We have very low traffics between the regions. We are very much domestic in all the region in which we are operating. By the way, these shortages are normal after a crisis. It happened exactly the same way in 2008 and 2009. This will probably normalize in the weeks to come. Raw materials. We see increases in raw materials, in steel, in plastics and of course, in electronic components. As you said, we have a significant percentage covered by mechanical pass-through equations. Our net risk, in brackets, we will deal with it, of course, is around EUR 20 million for the first half.
Our content per vehicle is growing. Yes, this will be detailed this afternoon, business group by business group. You will see our product mix and how our content is calculated versus average. We are quite strong on the premium vehicles, and we are strong on SUVs and battery electric vehicles. All of that is supporting higher margin through higher content per vehicle and more sophistication. Stellantis, on general assembly, will be organized March the 8th. After that, the distribution of the shares should happen. We do not have yet the precise date, but our own guess is that this will happen until the 16th of March. It was again, recently confirmed by Stellantis.
Okay. That's very clear. Thanks very much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We will now take our next question from Tom Narayan from Royal Bank of Canada.
We don't hear you.
Hello? We don't hear you.
You are probably on mute. Tom?
Hi. Can you hear me?
We can indeed.
Oh, sorry. Okay. Yeah, Tom Narayan, RBC, thanks for taking the question. The first question on the H2.
We don't hear you. We lost you. We are losing you. Can you repeat?
Yeah, sorry. I'll start over again. A question on the H2 margins on slide 10. How much of the lower R&D and SG&A comes back in 2021? If I may, I know you'll cover this in the CMD, I'd love to ask a little bit about the long-term guidance, if that's okay. I know you're calling for this 11% CAGR, which includes the 5% per year, which would imply a 6% market growth per year. I understand the outperformance, the market growth implies something like 106 million vehicle production level, 2025. I know some of this comes from China. Just curious what you're assuming there from the U.S. and Europe, given those are rather mature markets, which I think IHS has it peaking in 2023. Thank you.
I will start with the long-term guidance. You know what we take as a reference, IHS, and considering our starting point and our convergence back to the 2017 figures, we are delayed versus IHS. We are a little bit more conservative, and you will see this afternoon. We will be back to the 91 million vehicles achieved in 2017, not before 2025. This said, we are communicating about our outperformance versus the market. If we would have on the market a little bit more volumes, it will not reduce our outperformance. Our outperformance will be above 500 basis points between 2021 and 2025. In fact, 2020 and 2025. With some differences, but which will be detailed business group by business group this afternoon. We feel quite confident that this is perfectly achievable.
For the H2, if you remember H2, I would say production market is 41 million vehicles. We are already in H2 at the rhythm of 2022. I have given as the figures of, I would say, net cost, I would say, savings, EUR 66 million, EUR 68 million. This is clearly recurring. It is a minimum that we will achieve. In fact, I will add minimum EUR 30 million into this figure. If you take a half year or EUR 60 million, if you prefer, for a full year. This is fully secured, and we have, as you know, the restructuring, as we have accelerated in the second half, which will have, I would say, a full year impact from mid to the end of this first half. We are totally confident that the EUR 200 million net savings will be done, will be achieved, and even more.
The life after the COVID will be different. When we take, for example, on the SG&A, the travel policy. We will travel less, for sure. We might travel longer, less frequently. We believe that we will cut our travel expenses by at least 40%. We worked on our efficiency, and we believed that the world would collapse if we would not be able to send our experts around the world in mass. None of this happened. We have a high level of autonomy in the different regions, which is really good news. We have learned to work with digital tools. Traveling is not really needed. I'm making several digital plant visits per week. It works very well. It allows me to have a good understanding of what's going on. It allows me also to make a follow-up from one visit to the other.
I think that we will organize ourselves clearly differently in the next future.
Okay, thank you.
We will now take our next question from Sascha Gommel from Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Good morning, thank you for taking my questions, too. I have three, actually. The first one is on the flowback. I think you have the approval to buy back up to 10% of your own shares. Are you considering to buy into the flowback in case the shares are under pressure?
Thank you for your questions. We have the ESOP, the Employee Share Owner Plan, which will represent about 2% of our shares. Clearly, we will have to buy back shares, and we will do it at the appropriate timing. Michel, do you want to add something to this?
This will be made mainly during the period just after the spin-off. We consider that the spin-off is a fantastic opportunity for us to globalize our share ownership. As you know, some big funds were restricted. They have, sorry to use the expression, the vocation now to enter or to enlarge into the capital of Faurecia. We are very confident that this flowback will be an opportunity. Probably you have seen the declaration of Robert Peugeot, that we will at last normally eliminate the famous discount due to the holding or controlling position of PSA.
Very clear. Thanks. My next question would be on the Clean Mobility division. When I compare the, let's say, recovery in the second half of the year, it was on the margin side, it was a bit less than in the other two divisions. I would expect that given the CO2 regulation in Europe, that that division should actually have bounced back a lot stronger than the others. Any reason why that one was a bit lagging in the second half?
As I indicated, some, I would say, in the one-off, were impacted Clean Mobility. The second thing was the very low volumes of commercial vehicles. You know that commercial vehicles was more impacted than the light vehicles. Clearly, the, I would say, recovery on this segment as well will help a lot Clean Mobility. I can tell you that the last quarter was already as a target you were giving to the group.
2021 will be a double-digit operating margin.
Yes.
Okay, very clear as well. My last question is on the working capital structure. I think you're now at an, let's call it, all-time low in terms of working capital. I think it hasn't been that negative ever. Are you feeling comfortable or is that something where obviously if we go into a volume decline, that kind of exaggerates the cyclical swings in your cash flow? Are you considering de-risking that or are you saying, no, you feel very comfortable with that kind of structure?
No, we are comfortable. I don't know what you mean, comfortable. We are indicating in the document a number of days. Please take into account that we have some sales, according to IFRS 15, administrative sales which are not booked, like the monoliths, which is a net in the gross margin. We have as well some other things. Figures are much more important to calculate as a number of days. As I say, customers, no discussion. Suppliers, it is a permanent optimization. SAS is contributing to that. Last but not least, inventories. We have the target to reduce by one day this year, another day next year, which means twice EUR 90 million. We will continue to improve our working capital.
Understood. Thanks, Michel. Thanks, Patrick.
Thank you.
We will now take our next question from Jose Asumendi from JP Morgan. Please go ahead.
Good morning. José from JP Morgan. Yeah, very compelling set of targets for the next years, in my view. Congratulations on that. Just two topics, please. One, can you talk a little bit about Clarion, the work you've done there to restructure the business in the last 12 months? Can you comment on the order backlog? When you look at the product launches you have for 2021, can you comment a little bit about how the order backlog is shaping up in terms of the camera business, the display business, and then if you can give us some hints around maybe the profitability of those products. I guess you can discuss this also with CMD, maybe just some high-level comment on Clarion, please, on restructuring and the order backlog.
Michel, just a clarification, what are the incremental cost savings you're planning to book year-on-year in 2021? Thank you very much.
Michel, you start with the last question, please.
Cost savings, minimum EUR 50 million. Our budget is above this figure. For Clarion?
For Clarion, we achieved cost savings of EUR 80 million. It means that the integration of Clarion is now achieved. The main cost savings related to the organization is now achieved with 40% of indirect labor, less than when we bought the company. We also worked on the footprint, we are not at the end of that. We will build a mega plant in China, reducing the footprint we currently have to one single plant. It will be dry in November of this year. We will also continue to work on the bill of material, especially related to this crisis. I think we have a few things to do, even if we haven't stopped our customers, not one single hour. I believe that the focus also on our three product lines is paying off. We have Cockpit Electronics, we have Display Technologies, and ADAS.
When you look at the EUR 2.5 billion of order intake, it is well-balanced between the three product lines. The winner, if I may say so, from these three product lines are display technologies, where we are differentiating ourselves, especially on the large displays. You will see this afternoon the progress we've made. We have, I think, the right mix now, and the right technologies to be successful in each of them. You will see also that we are diversifying our geographies. In 2020, we made a significant progress in North America. We are starting in Europe. We made some relevant order intake in Europe, but we will continue in the years to come. We also have significantly increased the number of customers for Faurecia Clarion Electronics.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
We will take a follow-up question from Horst Schneider from Bank of America. Please go ahead.
Yes, thanks very much for taking another question. I just want to come back on the slightly production forecast. They are so much more cautious than IHS. Can you maybe split that up by region, for which region you see most of the downside risk? When I look at the IHS figures, I think they see the main downside at the moment concentrated on China and Volkswagen. Do you see more risk maybe in Europe or North America? That's just a follow-up. Thank you.
I would like to maybe explain when we did that. We did this when we fixed the assumptions for our budget. Sorry. We did this at the end of last year. We cannot change this because this is related now to the targets we gave to our business groups. It's not bad to have some tension related to the volumes. As I said, IHS is converging. They are considering that they were maybe too optimistic in the first half, and again, especially in the first quarter. We have an upside most probably in the first half, which is around 500,000 vehicles. Where are the risks? The risks are in Europe, very clearly, and a little bit less in North America.
This is the small table I proposed where I said Europe minus in Q1 at the level we are considering in the second quarter, and a significant growth in the second half of the year. America, we believe that the risk is related only to the shortage of electronic components. We saw that some of the customers have a little bit more issues with that. The inventories are very low in North America. Each produced car is sold. I'm sure that there will be a recovery of any lost car in the U.S. China is doing very well. Of course, we just passed the Chinese New Year. The first quarter is robust, and we see here a robust situation all along the year.
I said it, if I would have to redo the budget today, I would be less conservative for sure on the second half. We have clearly an upside, an opportunity in the second half, as long as we will not see a new crisis or new difficulties, issues popping up. With what we know today, we should do better in the second half.
Just that I get that right. The main downside risk, in fact, is in Europe, right? Not in North America or China.
Europe is at the highest risk, if I may say so. Again, for the moment, we have not seen it materializing very much. We saw in January some lower volumes related to some lockdowns, so to the COVID situation. We also see some difficulties related to the shortage of components, but limited. We believe that this might last with this proportion until the end of the first quarter, and we should see an improvement in the second quarter in Europe. In America, it's again related to the shortage of components. In America, they are living from hand to mouth, and the demand is there. In China, normal situation above 2019.
Just another brief follow-up. There are a lot of uncertainties, and of course, on the production, on the market level. What would you say is then, how conservative is your guidance on outperformance? I could imagine that finally Europe is stronger. Your outperformance could be even stronger than in 2021. Is that right, or what's the level of conservatism built into that?
I think that an excess of 600 basis points is quite a good figure. We will see.
We have a prudence, which is the question.
Yeah. We are. When we communicate figures you know it. We communicate figure we are quite sure to be able to deliver.
All right. Thanks very much.
Thank you. I think we have two questions. No? Now we have two questions per internet. The first one is, what is the part of e-vehicles and hybrid vehicles in your order book? Order intake this year, I know that is 38%. Order book is probably over 30%. It is accelerating, as you know, with the new platform of the customers. We have already, I will say, the word order intake, a higher share than what is forecasted for 2025.
This will be detailed this afternoon again.
Yes, this afternoon.
Not only for the past year, but also for the years until 2025. For Clean Mobility especially, we have a focus until 2030, which is needed for the hydrogen and the electrification part. What is your visibility on the electronic components shortage in S1 2021? We don't have visibility. The automotive industry has stopped ordering in April. At this period of time, consumer electronics increased its orders. In the same time, the 5G development and preparation increased the demand on microcontrollers. I believe that the consumer electronic will probably slow a little bit down because the peak is now behind us. The orders have been replaced. What is disturbing the supply chain is, as usual in this case, you have some panic orders in order to rebuild some inventories.
I spoke with one of these big electronic producer, component producer, and he said to me that if he takes the automotive orders, the automotive production in 2021 should exceed 120 million vehicles. Okay? What is needed, and I know that all OEMs are working with the tier ones on this, is to give visibility to the supply chain. This is happening. I believe, but it's my guess with what I know from the situation, that the peak of the disturbance will happen in March, and that after March, we will slowly recover until the end of H1. I think that, after the summer break, we should be back to a normal supply situation on electronic components.
What I don't know is, this situation might be beneficial for some of the players of the supply chain which have no interest to normalize very quickly the situation, understanding that the pressure on the prices is there until the shortage will be over. I think that this is ending this session. Thank you very much for your attention. I hope that we will be together again this afternoon for the CMD. You will see a lot of technologies and, I think what is also important, you will see some of our key team members to give you an idea on how this group is staffed and organized. See you then. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
