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.

Market environment and business developments

 

 

Semiconductor supply continued to restrict production in the quarter but the production ramp up of New Range Rover and New Range Rover Sport improved with 13,537 units wholesaled in the quarter, up from 5,790 in Q1. Partnership agreements with several semiconductor suppliers and more in progress are expected to enable improving volumes in the second half of financial year ending March 2023 and beyond.

 

 

Inflation remains at elevated levels, exacerbated by the Ukraine conflict and post Covid supply disruption. We are working to offset this through Refocus cost reductions.

 

 

Central banks are responding to inflation globally with increases in interest rates which may lead to increased costs for consumers who purchase our vehicles using finance.

 

 

Market volatility in the UK has been high during September and the GBP has weakened vs USD by 8% from 30 June 2022 to 30 September 2022.

 

 

Strong demand continuing with client order book now at 205,000 units; our three most profitable models, the New Range Rover, New Range Rover Sport and Defender account for over 70% of the order book

Revenue and profits, quarter ending 30 September 2022

 

 

Revenue was £5.3 billion in Q2 FY23, up 35.9% from Q2 FY22 reflecting strong model mix, pricing and increased wholesale volumes

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA1 was £541 million (10.3%) in Q2 FY23, up from £283 million (7.3%) in Q2 FY22

 

 

Adjusted EBIT1 was £54 million (1%) in Q2 FY23, up from £(181) million (-4.7%) in Q2 FY22

 

 

The loss before tax was £(173) million in Q2 FY23 compared to a loss of £(302) million in Q2 FY22. The year-on-year decline primarily reflects the following factors:

 

   

£372 million favourable volume and mix offset by £(65) million emissions charges

 

   

£141 million favourable pricing and lower variable marketing costs

 

   

£(158) million increase in material and manufacturing costs as a result of inflationary pressures

 

   

£(188) million increase in structural costs, primarily £(83) million of higher SG&A costs, £(38) million increase in engineering costs expensed and £(45) million due to non-recurrence of favourable changes to battery end of life reserves in Q2 FY22

 

   

£(38) million for FX and commodities, including £244 million impact of a generally weaker pound on revenue and costs partially offset by £(189) million of realised hedges

 

 

Loss after tax was £(98) million (after tax credit of £75 million) for Q2 FY23, an increase from £(381) million in Q2 FY22 (including a tax charge of £(79) million)

 

 

Free cash flow1 was £(15) million in Q2 FY23 compared to £(664) million in Q2 FY22

Revenue and profits, fiscal year to date

 

 

Revenue was £9.7 billion in H1 FY23, up from £8.8 billion in H1 FY22 reflecting strong model mix and pricing

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA1 was £820 million (8.5%) in H1 FY23, up from £732 million in H1 FY22 (8.3%)

 

 

Adjusted EBIT1 was £(142) million in H1 FY23, up from £(227) million in H1 FY22

 

 

The loss before tax was £(542) million in H1 FY23 compared to a loss of £(412) million in H1 FY22. The year-on-year decline primarily reflects the following factors:

 

   

£71 million favourable volume and mix

 

   

£268 million favourable pricing and lower variable marketing costs

 

   

£(323) million increase in material and manufacturing costs as a result of inflationary pressures

 

   

£(129) million increase in structural costs, including £(109) million increase in engineering costs expensed, £(10)m higher SG&A costs and £(45)m due to non-recurrence of favourable changes to battery end of life reserves in Q2 FY22

 

   

£(172) million for FX and commodities, including £462 million impact of a generally weaker pound on revenue and costs partially offset by £(305) million of realised hedges and £(212) million of revaluation

 

   

£155 million exceptional item related to changes to the defined benefit pension scheme

 

 

Loss after tax was £(580) million (including tax charge of £(38) million) for H1 FY23, an increase from £(667) million in H1 FY22 (including a tax charge of £(255) million)

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.

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.

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 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.

Accounting policies (continued)

 

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.

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.
Loss before tax and exceptional items    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 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.

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.

Taxation

Recognised in the income statement

Income tax for the six month periods ended 30 September 2022 and 30 September 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 six month period ended 30 September 2022, a tax charge of £38 million was incurred. This is in part as a result of the inability to recognise a net UK deferred tax asset such that (i) £179 million tax assets arising in the period cannot be provided and, (ii) offset by decreasing tax assets recognised through OCI leads to an offsetting interaction with other tax assets and a resultant £99 million tax credit (£20 million of which arises as a consequence of the announced increase in UK corporation tax rate from 19% to 25% as at 1 April 2023). In addition, a tax charge of £106 million arises in relation to profitable overseas subsidiary entities.

 

15

Capital expenditure

Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment in the six month period ended 30 September 2022 was £301 million (six month period ended 30 September 2021: £224 million) and on intangible assets (excluding research and development expenditure credits) was £258 million (six month period ended 30 September 2021: £264 million). There were no material disposals or changes in the use of 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, product liability and third party 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.

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.

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.

For each of the valuations at 30 September 2022, 31 March 2022 and 30 September 2021 the mortality assumptions used are the SAPS base table, in particular S3 tables and the Light table for members of the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan. For the Jaguar Pension Plan, scaling factors of 101 per cent to 115 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 103 per cent to 118 per cent have been used for female members. For the Land Rover Pension Scheme, scaling factors of 105 per cent to 117 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 100 per cent to 116 per cent have been used for female members. For the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan, an average scaling factor of 93 per cent to 97 per cent has been used for male members and a scaling factor of 91 per cent to 96 per cent has been used for female members.

At 30 September 2022 and 31 March 2022 there is an allowance for future improvements in line with the CMI (2021) projections and an allowance for long-term improvements of 1.25 per cent per annum and a smoothing parameter of 7.5.

At 30 September 2021 there was an allowance for future improvements in line with the CMI (2020) projections and an allowance for long-term improvements of 1.25 per cent per annum and a smoothing parameter of 7.5.

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

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, 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 30 September 2022. The outstanding commitment of CNY 1,525 million translates to £193 million at the 30 September 2022 exchange rate.

At 30 September 2021, the outstanding commitment was CNY 1,525 million (£175 million at the 30 September 2021 exchange rate).

The Group’s share of capital commitments of its joint venture at 30 September 2022 is £16 million (31 March 2022: £16 million, 30 September 2021: £16 million) and contingent liabilities of its joint venture 30 September 2022 is £nil (31 March 2022: £nil, 30 September 2021: £nil).

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:
