Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
Revenue was £6.0 billion in Q3 FY23, up 28% year-on-year from Q3 FY22 reflecting favourable volume, model mix, pricing and FX, offset partially by planned marketing and product development costs. Wholesale volumes (excluding China Joint Venture) of 79,591 up 15.0% year-on-year and 5.7% on the prior quarter. Wholesale volumes are at their highest level since Q1 FY22, reflecting a gradual improvement in chip supplies while we are continuing to see strong customer demand with a new record order book of 215,000 units.
Market environment and business developments
• | The supply of semiconductors saw gradual improvement in the quarter, resulting in the highest level of wholesales since Q1 FY22 when we began to see the effects of the semiconductor shortages on our business. |
• | The production ramp up of New Range Rover and New Range Rover Sport continued with 27,456 units wholesaled in the quarter, up from 13,537 in Q2. |
• | Strong demand continues with client order book now at 215,000 units; our three most profitable models, the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender account for over 70% of the order book. |
• | Although constraints continue, chip supply is expected to continue to gradually improve, and partnership agreements put in place with key chip suppliers are providing greater visibility over near-term supply. |
• | Inflation continues to remain at elevated levels, exacerbated by the Ukraine conflict, higher energy prices and post Covid supply disruption. We are working to offset this through Refocus profitability improvement actions. |
• | China was impacted by localised Covid-19 lockdowns during the first half of the quarter while the relaxation of Covid-19 policies from December led a surge in infection rates. |
• | Increasing interest rates in 2022 (including the UK, USA and Europe) will flow through into financing costs for consumers and could impact future demand. |
Revenue and profits, quarter ending 31 December 2022
• | Revenue was £6.0 billion in Q3 FY23, up 28.1% from Q3 FY22 reflecting favourable volumes, model mix, pricing and FX |
• | Adjusted EBITDA1 was £716 million (EBITDA margin: 11.9%) in Q3 FY23, up from £565 million (EBITDA margin: 12.0%) in Q3 FY22 |
• | Adjusted EBIT1 was £225 million (3.7%) in Q3 FY23, up from £68 million (1.4%) in Q3 FY22 |
• | The profit before tax was £265 million in Q3 FY23 compared to a loss of £(9) million in Q3 FY22. The year-on-year improvement primarily reflects the following factors: |
• | £276 million favourable volume and mix |
• | £224 million favourable pricing and lower variable marketing costs |
• | £(332) million increase in material and manufacturing costs as a result of inflationary pressures, offset slightly by a £70 million improvement in warranty costs |
• | £(66) million increase in structural costs, reflecting SG&A (up £85m primarily for planned marketing), product development engineering £(20) million offset by £29 million favourable Labour & Overhead (L&OH) costs |
• | £173 million for FX and commodities, including £259 million impact of a generally weaker pound on revenue and costs partially offset by £(230) million of realised hedges, and £139 million of FX revaluation |
• | Profit after tax was £261 million (after a tax charge of £(4) million) for Q3 FY23, an improvement from £(67) million in Q3 FY22 (including a tax charge of £(58) million) |
Revenue and profits, fiscal year to date
• | Revenue was £15.7 billion FY23 YTD, up from £13.6 billion FY22 YTD reflecting the increased volumes, strong model mix and pricing |
• | Adjusted EBITDA1 was £1,536 million (EBITDA margin: 9.8%) FY23 YTD, up from £1,297 million FY22 YTD (EBITDA margin: 9.6%) |
• | Adjusted EBIT1 was £83 million (Adjusted EBIT margin: 0.5%) FY23 YTD, up from £(159) million (Adjusted EBIT margin: -1.2%) FY22 YTD |
• | PBT was a loss before tax of £(432) million (before £155m favourable pension related exceptional item) for FY23 YTD compared to a loss of £(421) million for FY22 YTD. |
• | After the exceptional item, the FY23 YTD loss before tax was £(277) million . The £144 million year-on-year improvement primarily reflects the following factors: |
• | The £155 million exceptional item related to changes to the defined benefit pension scheme |
• | £347 million favourable volume and mix |
• | £491 million favourable pricing and lower variable marketing costs |

• | £(746) million increase in material and manufacturing costs as a result of inflationary pressures, offset by £91 million of favourable warranty to make overall contribution costs £(655) million higher |
• | £(195) million increase in structural costs, including £(127) million increase in engineering costs expensed, £(95)m higher SG&A costs and £27m due to other costs including the non-recurrence of favourable changes to battery end of life reserves in Q2 FY22 and £29m lower labour and overhead costs. |
• | FX and commodities are flat FY23 YTD (£1m favourable) as the £721 million impact of a generally weaker pound on revenue and costs is offset by £(535) million of realised hedges and £(185) million of revaluation (including commodity revaluation) |
• | Profit after tax after exceptional items was a loss of £(319) million (including tax charge of £(42) million) for FY23 YTD, an improvement from £(734) million in FY22 YTD (including a tax charge of £(313) million) |
• | Free cashflow2 was £490 million in Q3 FY23 compared to £164 million in Q3 FY22 |

1 | Accounting policies |
Basis of preparation
The financial information in these interim financial statements is unaudited. The information for the year ended 31 March 2022 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for the year has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors reported on those accounts: their report was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain a statement from section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ under International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) and UK-adopted international accounting standards. The balance sheet and accompanying notes as at 31 December 2021 have been disclosed solely for the information of the users.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments held at fair value as highlighted in note 20.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as set out within the directors’ report of the Group’s Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2022.
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022, as described in those financial statements.
Estimates and judgements
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimate uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Going concern
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the Directors consider appropriate for the reasons set out below.
The Directors have assessed the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022, and the projected cash flows of the Group for the twelve-month period from the date of authorisation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the ‘going concern assessment period’).
The Group had available liquidity of £5.3 billion at 31 December 2022, £3.8 billion of which is cash with the remainder being the £1.45 billion undrawn RCF facility, which was renewed on 16 December 2022 with a maturity date of April 2026. Within the going concern assessment period there is a £1 billion minimum quarter-end liquidity covenant attached to the Group’s UKEF loans and forward start RCF facility. There is £2.2 billion of maturing debt in the going concern assessment period, and no new funding is assumed.
The Group has assessed its projected cash flows over the going concern assessment period. The base case uses assumptions consistent with the latest business plan and which are based on the Group’s most recent actual trading results which were in line with the forecasts from the previous quarter.
The base case assumes a gradual increase in wholesale volumes in each quarter of the going concern assessment period as a result of a production ramp up of the New Range Rover and New Range Rover Sport. New agreements with semiconductor suppliers are also expected to enable sales improvements in the second half of the fiscal year 2024.
The base case assumes optimisation of supply to prioritise production to the highest margin products and the Group’s expectations relating to prevailing financial conditions, including inflationary pressures on material costs.

Going concern (continued)
The Group has also carried out a reverse stress test against the base case to determine the decline in wholesale volumes over a twelve-month period that would result in a liquidity level that breaches financing covenants. The Group’s order book remains very strong and so the reverse stress test assumes continued supply constraints resulting in demand that exceeds supply over the twelve-month period and assumes optimisation of supply to maximise production of higher margin products.
In order to reach a liquidity level that breaches covenants, it would require a sustained decline in wholesale volumes of more than 60% compared to the base case over a twelve-month period. The reverse stress test reflects the variable profit impact of the wholesale volume decline, and assumes all other assumptions are held in line with the base case. It does not reflect other potential upside measures that could be taken in such a reduced volume scenario; nor any new funding.
The Group does not consider this scenario to be plausible given that the stress test volumes are significantly lower than the volumes achieved during both the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the worst quarter of semiconductor shortages. The Group has a strong order bank and is confident that it can significantly exceed reverse stress test volumes.
The Group has considered the impact of severe but plausible downside scenarios, including scenarios that reflect a decrease in variable profit per unit compared with the base case to include additional increases in material and other related production costs. The expected wholesale volumes under all of these scenarios is higher than under the reverse stress test.
The Directors, after making appropriate enquiries and taking into consideration the risks and uncertainties facing the Group, consider that the Group has adequate financial resources to continue operating throughout the going concern assessment period, meeting its liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

2 | Alternative Performance Measures |
In reporting financial information, the Group presents alternative performance measures (‘APMs’) which are not defined or specified under the requirements of IFRS. The Group believes that these APMs, which are not considered to be a substitute for or superior to IFRS measures, provide stakeholders with additional helpful information on the performance of the business.
The APMs used by the Group are defined below.
Alternative Performance | Definition | |
Adjusted EBITDA | Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit before: income tax expense; exceptional items; finance expense (net of capitalised interest) and finance income; gains/losses on debt and unrealised derivatives, realised derivatives entered into for the purpose of hedging debt, and equity or debt investments held at fair value; foreign exchange gains/losses on other assets and liabilities, including short-term deposits and cash and cash equivalents; share of profit/loss from equity accounted investments; depreciation and amortisation. | |
Adjusted EBIT | Adjusted EBIT is defined as for adjusted EBITDA but including share of profit/loss from equity accounted investments, depreciation and amortisation. | |
Profit/(loss) before tax and exceptional items | Profit/(loss) before tax excluding exceptional items. | |
Free cash flow | Net cash generated from operating activities less net cash used in automotive investing activities, excluding investments in consolidated entities and movements in financial investments, and after finance expenses and fees paid. Financial investments are those reported as cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and other investments, and equity or debt investments held at fair value. | |
Total product and other investment | Cash used in the purchase of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, investments in equity accounted investments and other trading investments, acquisition of subsidiaries and expensed research and development costs. | |
Working capital | Changes in assets and liabilities as presented in note 26. This comprises movements in assets and liabilities excluding movements relating to financing or investing cash flows or non-cash items that are not included in adjusted EBIT or adjusted EBITDA. | |
Total cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments | Defined as cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and other investments, marketable securities and any other items defined as cash and cash equivalents in accordance with IFRS. | |
Available liquidity | Defined as total cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments plus committed undrawn credit facilities. | |
Net debt | Total cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments less total interest-bearing loans and borrowings. | |
Retail sales | Jaguar Land Rover retail sales represent vehicle sales (units) made by dealers to end customers and include the sale of vehicles produced by our Chinese joint venture, Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd. | |
Wholesales | Wholesales represent vehicle sales (units) made to dealers. The Group recognises revenue on wholesales. |
The Group uses adjusted EBITDA as an APM to review and measure the underlying profitability of the Group on an ongoing basis for comparability as it recognises that increased capital expenditure year-on-year will lead to a corresponding increase in depreciation and amortisation expense recognised within the consolidated income statement.
The Group uses adjusted EBIT as an APM to review and measure the underlying profitability of the Group on an ongoing basis as this excludes volatility on unrealised foreign exchange transactions. Due to the significant level of debt and currency derivatives, unrealised foreign exchange distorts the financial performance of the Group from one period to another.

2 | Alternative Performance Measures (continued) |
Free cash flow is considered by the Group to be a key measure in assessing and understanding the total operating performance of the Group and to identify underlying trends.
Total product and other investment is considered by the Group to be a key measure in assessing cash invested in the development of future new models and infrastructure supporting the growth of the Group.
Working capital is considered by the Group to be a key measure in assessing short-term assets and liabilities that are expected to be converted into cash within the next 12-month period.
Total cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments and available liquidity are measures used by the Group to assess liquidity and the availability of funds for future spend and investment.
Exceptional items are defined in note 4.
Reconciliations between these alternative performance measures and statutory reported measures are shown below and on the next two pages.

14 | Taxation |
Recognised in the income statement
Income tax for the nine month periods ended 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 is charged at the estimated effective tax rate expected to apply for the applicable financial year ends and adjusted for relevant deferred tax amounts where applicable.
Despite a loss in the nine month period ended 31 December 2022, a tax charge of £42 million was incurred, £8 million of which was as a result of the Group’s inability to recognise UK deferred tax assets arising in the period due to the Group’s current UK loss profile and non-recognition of UK deferred tax assets.

Product warranty provision
The Group offers warranty cover in respect of manufacturing defects, which become apparent one to five years after purchase, dependent on the market in which the purchase occurred and the vehicle purchased. The Group offers warranties of up to eight years on batteries in electric vehicles. The estimated liability for product warranty is recognised when products are sold or when new warranty programmes are initiated. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and management estimates regarding possible future warranty claims, customer goodwill and recall complaints. The discount on the warranty provision is calculated using a risk-free discount rate as the risks specific to the liability, such as inflation, are included in the base calculation. The timing of outflows will vary as and when a warranty claim will arise, being typically up to eight years.
Legal and product liability provision
A legal and product liability provision is maintained in respect of compliance with regulations and known litigations that impact the Group. The provision includes legal and constructive obligations to third parties and suppliers. The provision also comprises motor accident claims, consumer complaints, retailer terminations, supplier claims, employment cases, personal injury claims and compliance with emission regulations. The timing of outflows will vary as and when claims are received and settled, which is not known with certainty.
Residual risk provision
In certain markets, the Group is responsible for the residual risk arising on vehicles sold by retailers on leasing arrangements. The provision is based on the latest available market expectations of future residual value trends. The timing of the outflows will be at the end of the lease arrangements, being typically up to three years.
Environmental liability provision
This provision relates to various environmental remediation costs such as asbestos removal and land clean-up. The timing of when these costs will be incurred is not known with certainty.
Other employee benefits obligations
This provision relates to the LTIP scheme for certain employees and other amounts payable to employees.

17 | Provisions (continued) |
Restructuring provision
The restructuring provision includes amounts for third party obligations arising from Group restructuring programmes. This includes amounts payable to employees following the announcement of the Group’s Reimagine strategy in the year ended 31 March 2021 as well as other Group restructuring programmes. Amounts are also included in relation to legal and constructive obligations made to third parties in connection with cancellations under the group’s Reimagine strategy.
The estimated liability for restructuring activities is recognised when the group has reason to believe there is a legal or constructive obligation arising from restructuring actions taken. The amount provided at the reporting date is calculated based on currently available facts and certain estimates for third party obligations. These estimates are established using historical experience based on the settlement costs for similar liabilities, with proxies being used where no direct comparison exists.
The amounts and timing of outflows will vary as and when restructuring obligations are progressed with third parties, with the likely range of outcomes not being materially different to the amount recorded.

20 | Financial instruments |
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments held at fair value. These financial instruments are classified as either level 2 fair value measurements, as defined by IFRS 13, being those derived from inputs other than quoted prices which are observable, or level 3 fair value measurements, being those derived from significant unobservable inputs. There have been no changes in the valuation techniques used or transfers between fair value levels from those set out in note 35 to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
The tables below show the carrying amounts and fair value of each category of financial assets and liabilities, other than those with carrying amounts that are reasonable approximations of fair values.

24 | Commitments and contingencies |
In the normal course of business, the Group faces claims and assertions by various parties. The Group assesses such claims and assertions and monitors the legal environment on an ongoing basis, with the assistance of external legal counsel wherever necessary. The Group records a liability for any claims where a potential loss is probable and capable of being estimated and discloses such matters in its financial statements, if material. For potential losses that are considered possible, but not probable, the Group provides disclosure in the consolidated financial statements but does not record a liability unless the loss becomes probable. Such potential losses may be of an uncertain timing and/or amount.
The following is a description of claims and contingencies where a potential loss is possible, but not probable. Management believes that none of the contingencies described below, either individually or in aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Litigation and product related matters
The Group is involved in legal proceedings, both as plaintiff and as defendant. There are claims and potential claims against the Group which management has not recognised, as settlement is not considered probable. These claims and potential claims pertain to motor accident claims, consumer complaints, employment and dealership arrangements, replacement of parts of vehicles and/or compensation for deficiency in the services by the Group or its dealers.
The Group has provided for the estimated cost of repair following the passenger safety airbag issue in the United States, China, Canada, Korea, Taiwan, Australia and Japan. The Group recognises that there is a potential risk of further recalls in the future and considers such events on a case-by-case basis as the relevant facts and circumstances materialise, provided it can reliably estimate the amount and timing of any potential future costs associated with this warranty issue.
Other taxes and duties
Contingencies and commitments include tax contingent liabilities which mainly relate to tax audits and tax litigation claims.
Other
Contingencies also include other contingent liabilities, such as possible claims from suppliers, retailers and other third parties. The timing of any outflow will vary as and when claims are received and settled, which is not known with certainty.
Commitments
The Group has entered into various contracts with vendors and contractors for the acquisition of plant and equipment and various civil contracts of capital nature and the acquisition of intangible assets.
The remaining financial commitments, in particular the purchase commitments and guarantees, are of a magnitude typical for the industry.
Joint venture
Stipulated within the joint venture agreement for Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Co. Ltd, and subsequently amended by a change to the Articles of Association of Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Co. Ltd. is a commitment for the Group to contribute a total of CNY 5,000 million of capital. Of this amount, CNY 3,475 million has been contributed as at 31 December 2022. The outstanding commitment of CNY 1,525 million translates to £181 million at the 31 December 2022 exchange rate.
At 31 December 2021, the outstanding commitment was CNY 1,525 million (£177 million at the 31 December 2021 exchange rate).
The Group’s share of capital commitments of its joint venture at 31 December 2022 is £16 million (31 March 2021: £16 million, 31 December 2021: £15 million) and contingent liabilities of its joint venture 31 December 2022 is £nil (31 March 2021: £nil, 31 December 2021: £nil).

25 | Capital Management |
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the going concern operation of all subsidiary companies within the Group and to maintain an efficient capital structure to support ongoing and future operations of the Group and to meet shareholder expectations.
The Group issues debt, primarily in the form of bonds, to meet anticipated funding requirements and maintain sufficient liquidity. The Group also maintains certain undrawn committed credit facilities to provide additional liquidity. These borrowings, together with cash generated from operations, are loaned internally or contributed as equity to certain subsidiaries as required. Surplus cash in subsidiaries is pooled (where practicable) and invested to satisfy security, liquidity and yield requirements.
The capital structure and funding requirements are regularly monitored by the JLR plc Board to ensure sufficient liquidity is maintained by the Group. All debt issuances and capital distributions are approved by the JLR plc Board.
The following table summarises the capital of the Group:
