Exactly how are Kia and Hyundai related / organized?

Well, there has never been a point where Hyundai aggregated financial results with Kia. Since they disclose financials separately and are listed as separate companies as separate public companies, Kia and Hyundai should never be aggregated together for anything. Corporate structure isn't the same as ownership structure and financial disclosure. Its really not much different than Toyota and Subaru's relationship as Toyota owns 20% and discloses separate financials.

Just because Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia report results independently doesn't mean Hyundai Motor Group doesn't have the ability to report them both (and Genesis) under one report. Their reason for not making any reports is merely voluntary- perhaps because they consider themselves a "mobility company" rather than a mere commercial auto manufacturer.

I don't understand what you are trying to imply. Hyundai Motor Group doesn't disclose financials and never has. Its a corporate governance structure and has nothing to do with reporting. They cannot report them under one structure unless they actively own ~50% of both Kia and Hyundai which involves quite a bit of money and reports them under one legal entity. The can't do what you are implying unless they actively buy shares.

Just because they don't release specific reports on specific brands and models doesn't mean they can't report their collective financials.
EDIT: I was wrong, they DO report Hyundai and Kia together too. Guess that settles the original question lol

Thats not at the level of an audited financial statement. Hyundai and Kia both operate and disclose financial information at a much more granular level. If Hyundai group wants to disclose at that level, it would be a much more difficult exercise as ownership isn't whole and they don't have the rights simply because they don't own majority stake in some of those companies. Hyundai group cannot at this time release financial statements combining the two auto companies. What you are showing is a high level sales and net profit figure thats not audited because it has no investors in that entity (nor is it up to the same standards of a public company). Every sales figure that Hyundai and Kia put up is backed up through control processes and audits. Very big difference in disclosure requirements.

Its not a public company...why would they have financial statements available? I've looked in the financial databases and there is nothing available for the motor group. If they were available, it would be readily available in the tools I have. They disclose at this level because it doesn't have to have the rigors that Hyundai and Kia have to go through. Again, sales figures are released to evaluate the auto company financial success so that investors can invest appropriately. I trust Hyundai and Kia numbers because its part of the rigorous process involving audited financial statements that are publicly disclosed. I have no clue whether the Hyundai Group recognizes 100% of the companies in their corporate governance or the actual equity stake that they actually own...GAAP says they should only recognize about 33% of Kia's financials. Again, they don't own all of Kia so why should they be allowed to recognize all of Kia's sales? Makes no sense.

I've done enough explaining on my part, and HMG themselves can answer any questions you have about the veracity of their information. But to claim that HMG doesn't report their collective financials is a flat-out lie.

Because they literally say so on their site.
Great, are you an investor of HMG? If not your tools are useless.
Oh yeah, Hyundai Motor Group are a bunch of liars sure sure....
It makes no sense to you because your understanding of how Hyundai and Kia are operated under HMG is incorrect.

They report high level sales and high level profit but nothing useful for the investing community is my point.
Since this is the case, Hyundai and Kia should report separately as they are operated independently with differently ownership structures.

Just because you don't have access to their financial reports like HMG investors doesn't make them not exist.
Goodness gracious, go ask them about their financial reports rather than posting baseless speculation that goes against what their own website claims.
Repeating the same disproven information numerous times doesn't make it suddenly come true.

You don't have the financial reports because you aren't an HMG investor. You not having them doesn't mean they don't exist unless you want to continue insinuating that HMG's website is lying. I'm pretty sure I would take their word over yours.
You continue to conflate Hyundai Motor Co. with Hyundai Motor Group despite the many many many posts that have demonstrated otherwise that would clearly be a waste of time for me to repeat. At this point, your assumptions are based entirely on your own misunderstanding of the corporate structure, and nothing anyone says will change your mind.
I stated that HMG doesn't own 100% of Kia so they can't fully recognize Kia's financials or sales if they were subject to the same standards as a public company. What they do on their website doesn't matter...its not not investment level information.

Hyundai Motor Co. owns 33% of Kia. Hyundai Motor Group consists of subdivisions Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and all other subdivisions crucial to their operations like Hyundai Mobis, Hyundai Steel etc. and is the umbrella corporation. Hyundai and Kia alone as companies can't do anything on their own. Hyundai Motor Co's 33% stake in Kia has nothing to do with them both being under the same umbrella company.
This is the last time I explain this, and if you can't wrap your head around this fact, then there's nothing left for me to say.
