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

Revenue was £5.3 billion in Q2 FY23, up 36% year-on-year from Q2 FY22 reflecting strong model mix and pricing with wholesale volumes (excluding China JV) of 75,307 up 17.6% year-on-year and 4.9% on the prior quarter. Despite strong demand and a record order book, however, sales continued to be constrained by the global chip shortage.

Sales volumes

Sales volumes were constrained by production levels in the quarter driven by the global chip shortage while production of the new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport is still ramping up. Retail sales³ in Q2 FY23 were 88,121 vehicles, an increase of 11.8% compared with the previous quarter ending 30 June 2022 and down 5% from the same quarter a year ago ending 30 September 2021.

Wholesale volumes³ in Q2 FY23 were 75,307 units in the period (excluding our China Joint Venture), up 18% compared to the same quarter a year ago ending 30 September 2021 and 5% compared to the quarter ending 30 June 2022. This improvement was lower than planned, primarily due to a lower than expected supply of specialised chips from one supplier which could not be readily re-sourced in the quarter. This was mitigated partially by further prioritisation of production to the highest margin products.

Funding and liquidity

Total cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments at 30 September 2022 were £3.7 billion (comprising £3.56 billion of cash and cash equivalents and £161 million of short-term deposits and other investments). The cash and financial deposits include an amount of £412 million held in subsidiaries of Jaguar Land Rover outside of the United Kingdom. The cash in some of these jurisdictions may be subject to impediments to remitting cash to the UK other than through annual dividends.

The £1.5 billion forward start revolving facility maturing in March 2024 became effective on 04 July 2022 and is undrawn.

Risks and mitigating factors

There are a number of potential risks which could have a material impact on the Group’s performance and could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and/or historical results, particularly those risks relating to continuing supply shortages of semiconductors, and those discussed on pages 36-39 of the Annual Report 2021/22 of the Group (available at www.jaguarlandrover.com/annual-report-2022) along with mitigating factors. The principal risks discussed in the Group’s Annual Report FY22 are competitive business efficiency, environmental regulations and compliance, supply chain disruptions, global economic and geopolitical environment, distribution channels/retailer performance, IT systems and security, manufacturing operations, brand positioning, rapid technology change and human capital.

Acquisitions and disposals

There were no material acquisitions or disposals in Q2 FY23.

Off-balance sheet financial arrangements

At 30 September 2022, Jaguar Land Rover Limited (a subsidiary of the Company) had sold £337 million equivalent of receivables under a $499.975 million invoice discounting facility signed in March 2021.

Personnel

At 30 September 2022, Jaguar Land Rover employed 38,880 people worldwide, including agency personnel, compared to 35,350 at 30 September 2021.

Basis of preparation

The financial information in these interim financial statements is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. 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 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 30 September 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 30 September 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 £5.2 billion at 30 September 2022, £3.7 billion of which is cash with the remainder the undrawn RCF facility. 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 £1.9 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 an updated version of the assumptions used at 31 March 2022.

Details of the scenarios and assumptions used in the assessment as at 31 March 2022 are set out in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of the Group’s Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Base volumes have been adjusted downwards when compared to the 31 March 2022 assessment to reflect continued supply chain challenges related to semiconductor shortages and the optimisation of production.

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.

Going concern (continued)

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.

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 55% 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.

Notes (forming part of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements)

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.

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.

15

Notes (forming part of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements)

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.
