Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations

Revenue was £6.9 billion in Q1 FY24, up 57% year-on-year from Q1 FY23 reflecting higher volume and model mix, favourable pricing and FX, offset partially by planned marketing, selling expenses and inflationary costs. Wholesale volumes (excluding China Joint Venture) of 93,253 up 29.9% year-on-year and down (1.5)% on the prior quarter. The order book remained strong with over 185,000 client orders at quarter end, reducing from 200,000 at 31 March 2023 in line with expectations, as chip and other supply constraints continue to improve. Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender demand remains particularly strong, representing 76% of the order book.

Market environment and business developments

 

 

Wholesale volumes increased significantly year-on -year as chip and other supply constraints continued to improve.

 

 

Strong order book of 185,000 client orders at quarter end, a reduction of c. 15,000 units since 31 March 2023 in line with expectations; 76% of the order book is for our three most profitable models, the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender.

 

 

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.

 

 

Increasing interest rates (including the UK, USA and Europe) will flow through into financing costs for consumers and could impact future demand.

Revenue and profits, quarter ending 30 June 2023

 

 

Revenue was £6.9 billion in Q1 FY24, up 56.7% from Q1 FY23 reflecting favourable volumes, model mix, pricing and FX

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA1 was £1,123 million (EBITDA margin: 16.3%) in Q1 FY24, up from £293 million (EBITDA margin: 6.7%) in Q1 FY23 (restated2)

 

 

Adjusted EBIT1 was £595 million (8.6%) in Q1 FY24, up from negative £(196) million (-4.4%) in Q1 FY23

 

 

The profit before tax and exceptional items was £435 million in Q1 FY24 compared to a loss before tax and exceptional items of £(524) million in Q1 FY23. The year-on-year improvement primarily reflects the following factors:

 

   

£829 million favourable volume and mix

 

   

£197 million favourable pricing and lower variable marketing costs

 

   

£(78) million increase in material and manufacturing costs as a result of inflationary pressures, plus a £(18) million increase in warranty costs

 

   

£(118) million increase in structural costs, reflecting SG&A (up £100m primarily for planned marketing & selling expenses) and Admin expenses up by £61m, slightly offset by £83m favourable engineering & capitalisation

 

   

£129 million for FX and commodities, including £125 million FX revaluation, £(66) million impact of the strengthening pound on revenue and costs partially offset by £37 million of realised hedges, and £32 million of unrealised commodity hedges

 

 

Profit after tax was £323 million (after a tax charge of £(112) million) for Q1 FY24, an improvement from a loss of £(482) million in Q1 FY23 (including a tax charge of £(113)  million)

Cash flow

 

 

Free cash flow1 was £451 million in Q1 FY24 compared to negative free cashflow of £(771) million in Q1 FY23

 

 

Working capital movements in the quarter were £13 million (vs £(630) million3 in Q1 FY23) with increases in inventories of (£451) million and receivables of £(9)million more than offset by increases in payables of £446 million and other of £27 million since 31 March 2023

 

 

Investment spending of £697 million in the quarter was up from £489 million in Q1 FY23 and includes £523 million of engineering spend, of which 61% was capitalised, and £174 million of capital investments

Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial information in these interim financial statements is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 435 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’ in accordance with the requirements of UK-adopted international accounting standards. The balance sheet and accompanying notes as at 30 June 2022 have been disclosed solely for the information of the users.

The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 March 2023 are not the company’s statutory accounts for that financial year but are derived from those accounts. Those accounts have been reported on by the company’s auditor and delivered to the registrar of companies. The report of the auditor was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report; and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

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 should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023, which were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards.

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 2023.

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023, as described in those financial statements, except as described below.

Change in accounting policy

During the three months ended 30 June 2023, the Group reviewed its accounting policy choice over the net presentation of grants relating to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

As a result, it was considered more appropriate to adopt a policy to present grants related to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets gross as separate liabilities instead of deducting them from the cost of the assets; and to present the unwind of the grant over the useful economic lives of the assets in ‘Other income’, rather than a reduction of ‘Depreciation and amortisation’.

Separate disclosure of amounts received for grants in relation to capital assets more closely aligns the presentation of assets in the consolidated balance sheet with the Group’s reported cash flows from investing activities; and improves transparency of the financial statements by allowing users to better understand the extent of grant income supporting investments. The policy is also aligned to that of the Group’s ultimate parent company and therefore enhances comparability with its other subsidiaries.

The prior period comparatives have been represented on this basis. The impact on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended 30 June 2022 and on the consolidated balance sheet at 30 June 2022 and 31 March 2023 are shown below:

There is no impact to profit/loss before or after taxation, reported equity, or net assets in any of the previous financial periods.

The revised accounting policy is given below.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the relevant conditions and the grant will be received.

Government grants are recognised in the consolidated income statement, either on a systematic basis when the Group recognises, as expenses, the related costs that the grants are intended to compensate or immediately, if the costs have already been incurred.

Government grants related to income are presented as an offset against the related expenditure except in cases where there are no ongoing performance obligations to the Group, in which case the government grant is recognised as other income in the period in which the Group becomes entitled to the grant.

Government grants related to assets are presented gross as separate liabilities and unwound over the useful economic lives of the assets as other income.

Cash flows arising from grants related to income and assets are presented within cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated cash flow statement.

The terms and treatment of each grant is assessed on a case by case basis.

Sales tax incentives received from governments are recognised in the consolidated income statement at the reduced tax rate, and revenue is reported net of these sales tax incentives.

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 2023.

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 30 June 2023, and the projected cash flows of the Group for at least the twelve-month period from the date of authorisation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the ‘going concern assessment period’).

Accounting policies (continued)

Going concern (continued)

 

The Group had available liquidity of £5.5 billion at 30 June 2023, £4 billion of which is cash with the remainder the undrawn RCF facility. There is a £1 billion minimum quarter-end liquidity covenant in the Group’s UKEF loans and RCF facility, which applies to the going concern assessment period. There is £1.4 billion of maturing debt in the going concern assessment period, comprising UKEF and CNY loan repayments and EUR bond repayments, and no new funding is assumed.

The Group has assessed its projected cash flows over the going concern assessment period. This base case uses the most recent Board-approved forecasts that include the going concern assessment period; taking into account the Group’s expectations of improved semiconductor supply, optimisation of production to prioritise the highest margin products along with the expectations relating to prevailing economic conditions, including the impact of inflationary pressures on material costs and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) commitments.

The base case assumes a steady improvement in wholesale volumes, with associated increases in EBIT, in the going concern assessment period compared to the previous 12 months as semiconductor supply related production constraints are expected to progressively ease, supported by new partnership agreements with key semiconductor suppliers.

The Group has 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 the £1 billion liquidity financing covenant. The reverse stress test assumes continued supply constraints over the 12-month period and optimisation of production 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 65% compared to the base case over a 12-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.

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
Measure

  

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 joint ventures, associates and subsidiaries 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 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 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.

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.

During the year ended 31 March 2023, the definition of ‘Free cash flow’ was amended to exclude investments in associates, joint ventures and subsidiaries. The Group considers the amended Free cash flow measure to be more useful as it provides a clearer view of recurring cash flows that is not distorted by the impact of one-off transactions. Free cash flow for period ended 30 June 2022 prior to the change was £(769) million.

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 assets and liabilities that are expected to be converted into cash within the next 12-month period; as well as over the longer term.

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 page.

Taxation

Recognised in the income statement

Income tax for the three month period ending 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022 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.

A tax charge of £112 million was incurred in the three month period ending 30 June 2023. The effective tax rate of 26% is impacted by the ability of the UK to shelter UK tax liabilities with UK deferred tax assets which are currently not fully recognised on the balance sheet.

The comparatives at 30 June 2022 have been re-presented to align with presentation changes made during the year ended 31 March 2023. Product Warranty and Restructuring amounts are consistent with previous periods. Legal and product liability amounts disclosed in previous periods are now split into Emissions compliance, Third party claims and obligations and Other provisions. Provisions for residual risk, environmental liability and other employee benefits obligations amounts disclosed in previous periods are now grouped in Other provisions. This has not resulted in any change to reported ‘total current provisions’ or ‘total non-current provisions’.

Product warranty

The Group provides product warranties on all new vehicle sales in respect of manufacturing defects, which become apparent in the stipulated policy period dependent on the market in which the vehicle purchase occurred. The estimated liability for product warranty is recognised when products are sold or when new warranty programmes are initiated.

Provisions are recognised for the costs of repairing manufacturing defects, recall campaigns, customer goodwill (representing the Group’s constructive obligation to its clients when managing those warranty claims) and the Group’s other obligations under the warranty.

Assumptions are made on the type and extent of future warranty claims based on experience of the frequency and extent of vehicle faults and defects historically. The estimates also include assumptions on the amounts of potential repair costs per vehicle and the effects of possible time or mileage limits and are regularly adjusted to reflect new information. The timing of outflows will vary as and when a warranty claim will arise.

The Group’s calculation methodology uses historical data corrected for experience as information becomes available as well as individual campaign assumptions (such as scope, uptake rates and repair costs). This can lead to changes in the carrying value of provisions as assumptions are updated over the life of each warranty; however there are no individual assumptions that can be reasonably expected to move over the next financial year to such a degree that it would result in a material adjustment to the warranty provision.

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 Group also has back-to-back contractual arrangements with its suppliers in the event that a vehicle fault is proven to be a supplier’s fault. Estimates are made of the expected reimbursement claims based upon historical levels of recoveries by supplier, adjusted for inflation and applied to the population of vehicles under warranty at the balance sheet date. Supplier reimbursement claims are presented as separate assets within “Other financial assets” in note 11. Supplier recoveries are recognised only when the Group considers there to be virtual certainty over the reimbursement, which also requires historical evidence to support.

The Group notes that changes in the automotive environment regarding the increasing impact of battery electric vehicles presents its own significant challenges, particularly due to the lack of maturity and historical data available at this time to help inform estimates for future warranty claims, as well as any associated recoveries from suppliers due to such claims. The Group offers warranties of up to eight years on batteries in electric vehicles. The related provisions are made with the Group’s best estimate at this time to settle such obligations in the future, but will be required to be continually refined as sufficient, real-world data becomes available.

Restructuring

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 ending 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 those 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.

Provisions (continued)

 

Third party claims and obligations

A provision is maintained in respect of legal and constructive obligations to third parties. This includes claims and obligations related to supplier claims, motor accident claims, consumer complaints, retailer terminations, employment cases and personal injury claims. The increase in the year is driven mainly by supplier claims related to the significant inflation experienced during the period as well as lower than expected volumes.

The provision recognised is based on previous experience, which is considered as a reasonable assumption to estimate the final settlement, if any, at the time of the claim. The timing and amount of outflows will vary with decreasing uncertainty from the point at which each claim is received to when it is subsequently settled.

Emissions compliance

The Group maintains a provision for non compliance with legal emissions requirements for certain jurisdictions. The measurement of the provision considers the sales volume in that jurisdiction and the fee or cost per the applicable legislation. The Group aims to mitigate non-compliance risk by purchasing emission credits, participating in emission pools or, subject to the terms of the relevant legislation, generating credits by producing and selling compliant vehicles in the future. The measurement of the provision at the balance sheet date does not include the impact of credits forecast to be generated in the future via the production and sale of compliant vehicles.

The timing of outflows will vary and is not known with certainty.

Other provisions

Other provisions predominantly include the environmental liability and residual risk provisions. The timing of outflows will vary and is not known with certainty.

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 37 to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.

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.

In June 2023, the Group was informed that one of the investments held by the UK DB pension schemes has been revalued by the fund’s independent valuation agent and that the valuation of the holding as of March 31, 2023, across the schemes, has been reduced by £78 million to £73 million. There is some uncertainly as at 30 June 2023 over the remaining valuation, however the Group does not consider the uncertainty to be material. This change in asset value is included in OCI as part of the asset and liability movements over the quarter.

Commitments and contingencies

The following includes a description of contingencies and commitments. The Group assesses such commitments and claims as well as monitors the legal environment on an ongoing basis, with the assistance of external legal counsel wherever necessary. The Group record a liability for any claims where a potential loss is probable and capable of being estimated and disclosures such matters in the 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 amounts.

Commitments and contingencies (continued)

 

Contingencies

Contingencies related to legal and constructive obligations to third parties. There are claims and obligations against the Group which management has not recognised, as settlement is not considered probable. These claims and obligations relate primarily to the following:

 

  -

Third party claims and obligations primarily supplier claims

 

  -

Tax and duty

 

  -

other including consumer complaints, retailer terminations, employment cases and personal injury claims.

The decrease in the period is driven mainly by supplier claims related to ongoing negotiations and lower levels of new claims.

Commitments

The Group has entered into various contracts with vendors and contractors for the acquisition of plant and equipment and various civil contracts of a capital nature and the acquisition of intangible assets.

Joint venture

Stipulated within the joint venture agreement for Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd., and subsequently amended by a change to the Articles of Association of Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company 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 30 June 2023. The outstanding commitment of CNY 1,525 million translates to £166 million at the 30 June 2023 exchange rate (30 June 2022: £188 million at the June 2022 exchange rate).

The Group’s share of capital commitments of its joint venture at 30 June 2023 is £7 million (31 March 2023: £12 million and 30 June 2022: £16 million) and contingent liabilities of its joint venture 30 June 2023 is £1 million (31 March 2023 and 30 June 2022: £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 issuance and capital distributions are approved by the JLR plc Board.

The following table summarises the capital of the Group:
