LOOKING AHEAD CONTINUING TO INVEST TO DRIVE PROFITABLE GROWTH JLR’s strategy is to achieve sustainable profitable growth by investing proportionally more in new products, technology and manufacturing capacity. Consistent with this, FY18 investment spending is expected to be in the region of £4 – 4.35b, including investment in the new Slovakia plant Despite increased geopolitical uncertainty (e.g. Brexit in the UK), economic growth in most major economies is continuing, although competitive conditions and incentive levels in the automotive sector have increased in key markets such as North America As previously indicated, JLR expects margin pressures seen in FY17 including higher incentive levels and launch and growth costs to continue in FY18. We also expect seasonality in volume and profit by Quarter to continue The launch of the versatile new Discovery (US and China in May), the stunning Range Rover Velar, the Jaguar E-PACE, XF Sportbrake and other exciting new models in FY18 are expected to strengthen our portfolio and attract new customers, driving sustainable profitable growth over the course of the financial year and beyond JLR’s planning target remains to achieve an 8-10% EBIT margin in the medium term - 15 -

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

Jaguar Land Rover achieved retail sales of 137,463 (including China JV sales) in Q1 FY18 led by higher growth in China and North America with continued strong demand for the Jaguar F-PACE and Range Rover as well as the introduction of the long wheel base Jaguar XFL in China. PBT was £595 million including a £437 million one-off credit relating to changes made to the Company’s pension plans from a final salary to a career average basis.

Key metrics/highlights for Q1 FY18 results, compared to Q1 FY17, are as follows:

 

  Retail sales of 137.5k units (including the China JV), up 3.5%.

 

  Wholesales of 117.9k units (excluding the China JV), down 2.4%

 

  Revenue of £5.6 billion, up from £5.4 billion

 

  PBT of £595 million, including a £437 million one-off pension credit, up from £399 million and PAT of £472 million, up from £304 million

 

  Underlying EBITDA (excluding the one-off pension credit) of £442 million (7.9% margin), down from £672 million (12.5% margin) and underlying EBIT of £69 million (1.2% margin), down from £329 million (6.1% margin). The unadjusted EBIT margin was 9.0%

 

  Free cash flow was negative £1.3 billion after total investment spending of £995 million and £733 million seasonal working capital outflows

Market environment

The economic environment remained generally positive, notwithstanding significant geopolitical uncertainty. Slowing growth and higher inflation in the UK is beginning to emerge and Brexit has continued to be a source of uncertainty exacerbated by the lack of a decisive majority following the general election in June, however, the Pound has recovered slightly against the US Dollar recently. GDP growth in the US continues to be solid and the Fed increased interest rate by 25bpts to 1.25% on 14 June, although uncertainty over future rate increases has seen the US Dollar weaken. Economic growth in China in Q1 FY18 beat market expectations supported by strong growth in the property market, however concerns over property price inflation and debt levels remain. Steady growth in Europe continues to be supported by low inflation, solid consumer spending and increased confidence with the Euro strengthening amid growing expectation of QE tapering by the ECB. The economic environment in emerging markets remains challenging, notwithstanding some encouragement as Russia comes out of a recession.

Jaguar Land Rover sales volumes year-on-year performance

Q1 FY18 total retail sales were 137,463 units (including the China JV), up 3.5%, driven by continuing strong demand for the Jaguar F-PACE and Range Rover as well as the introduction of the long wheel base Jaguar XFL in China. By region, Q1 FY18 retail sales were up in China (30.3%) and North America (15.6%), flat in Europe, down 13.9% in Overseas markets and down 14.3% in the UK which includes the impact of consumers having pulled ahead purchases in March ahead of an increase in vehicle excise duty enacted on 1 April 2017. By brand, Land Rover retails in Q1 FY18 were 96,197 units, down 4.7% with launch of the Discovery not yet fully ramped up (only launched in the US and China in May) but strong sales of Range Rover (up 13.8%). Jaguar retails were 41,266 units, up 29.7%, primarily driven by continued strong demand for F-PACE and the introduction of the XFL in China.

Table of Contents

Wholesales totalled 117,916 units (excluding China JV) in Q1 FY18, down 2.4%, in particular following strong seasonal sales in Q4 FY17. By brand, Land Rover wholesales were 85,279 units, down slightly (1.1%). Jaguar wholesales in Q1 FY18 were 32,637 units, down 5.6%, reflecting lower sales of XE, F-TYPE and XF (impacted by sales of the long wheel base Jaguar XFL now on sale from the China JV), offset partially by higher F-PACE and XJ volumes. By region, JLR wholesales were up in the UK (13.8%) and China (7.6%), broadly flat in North America and down in Europe (11.9%) and in other Overseas markets (12.3%).

1  Production of the Jaguar XK, Land Rover Defender and Freelander models have now been discontinued.
2  China JV retail volume in Q1 FY18 was 20,309 units (10,637 units of Discovery Sport, 4,694 units of Evoque and 4,978 units of Jaguar XFL).

Revenue and profits

Revenue was £5.6 billion in Q1 FY18, up £244 million year on year, primarily reflecting favourable foreign exchange (weaker Pound), partially offset by lower wholesales.

PBT was £595 million in Q1 FY18, up £196 million year on year, reflecting:

 

    Unfavourable volume and mix primarily reflecting lower wholesale volumes (£28m), in particular following strong seasonal sales in Q4 FY17

 

    Higher variable marketing costs (£93m)

 

    Higher material and operating costs including non-recurrence of favourable adjustments in Q1 FY17 (£96m)

 

    Higher depreciation and amortisation (£62m)

 

    Overall favourable FX and commodities (£88m)

 

    A £437 million one-off credit relating to changes made to improve the sustainability of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans, partially offset by the non-recurrence of £50m of recoveries in Q1 FY17 from the Tianjin port explosion

Cash flow, liquidity and capital resources

Free cash flow in Q1 FY18 was negative £1.3 billion after £995 million of total investment spending and £733 million of unfavourable working capital movements. In the quarter, £901 million of investment spending was capitalised and £94 million was expensed through the income statement.

Cash and financial deposits at 30 June 2017 stood at £4.1 billion (comprising £1.6 billion of cash and cash equivalents and £2.5 billion of financial deposits) after the negative free cash flow of £1.3 billion, an £11m decrease in the utilisation of a short-term debt facility and a £60 million dividend (out of a total £150 million declared) paid to our parent TML Holdings Pte. Limited. The cash and financial deposits include an amount of £513 million held in subsidiaries of Jaguar Land Rover outside of the United Kingdom. The cash in some of these jurisdictions is subject to impediments to remitting cash to the UK other than through annual dividends. As at 30 June 2017, the Company also had an undrawn revolving credit facility totalling £1.9 billion, maturing in July 2020, and £69 million of an unutilized short-term uncommitted receivable factoring facility. The Company has since amended the undrawn revolving credit facility to mature in 2022 (see “Post Balance Sheet Items”)

* Comparatives have been restated for the amendment to disclose separately ‘Effect of foreign exchange on cash and cash equivalents’ as a separate line item after ‘Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period’. The line items of ‘Cash flows generated from operating activities before changes in assets and liabilities’ in note 21 and ‘Cash used in operations’, ‘Net cash used in operating activities’, and ‘Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents’ in the consolidated cash flow statement were previously reported as £645 million, £(5) million (previously reported as Cash generated from operations), £54 million and £952 million for the period ended 30 June 2016. An adjustment of £44 million was recorded to those line items for the period ended 30 June 2016, to reflect the removal of the foreign exchange gain on cash and cash equivalents from those line items to present this amount separately as described above. The line items of ‘Cash flows generated from operating activities before changes in assets and liabilities’, ‘Cash used in operations’, ‘Net cash used in operating activities’, and ‘Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents’ were therefore restated as £601 million, £39 million, £98 million and £996 million for the period ended 30 June 2016. There is no impact on cash and cash equivalents as previously reported for the period ended 30 June 2016.

The information for the three month period ended 30 June 2017 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’ under International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as adopted by the European Union (‘EU’).

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 15.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU.

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 2017.

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, as described in those financial statements.

Change in presentation of foreign exchange gains and losses

During the quarter ended 31 March 2017, the Group reviewed the presentation of foreign exchange in the consolidated income statement following the continued increase in hedging activity, volatility in foreign exchange rates, and in anticipation of transition to IFRS 9.

As a result, it was considered more appropriate to present realised foreign exchange relating to derivatives hedging revenue exposures as an adjustment to “Revenue” and realised foreign exchange relating to derivatives hedging cost exposures as an adjustment to ‘Material and other cost of sales’. The prior period comparatives have been represented on this basis. Realised foreign exchange losses of £106 million and £14 million have been adjusted to ‘Revenue’ and ‘Material and other cost of sales’ respectively for the period ended 30 June 2016.

There is no impact upon the reported profit after taxation or reported equity for the period ended 30 June 2016.

 

2 Exceptional item

The exceptional item within ‘Material and other cost of sales’ of £1 million for the quarter ended 30 June 2017 relates to the recovery of import duties and taxes following the explosion at the port of Tianjin (China) in August 2015 which led to a reversal of the initial provision recorded in the quarter ended 30 September 2015.

The exceptional item within “Material and other cost of sales” of £51 million for the quarter ended 30 June 2016 related to an interim payment of £50 milliion in relation to the vehicles involved in the Tianjin incident and £1 million due to achieving sales at a higher net realisable value than that estimated at 31 March 2016.

Due to the size of the provision recorded, the charge together with the associated tax impact was disclosed as an exceptional item in the year ended 31 March 2016.

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 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 five 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 primarily relates to motor accident claims, consumer complaints, dealer terminations, employment cases, personal injury claims and compliance with 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 dealers 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.

18 Employee benefits (continued)

 

For the valuations at 30 June 2017 and 31 March 2017, the mortality assumptions used are the SAPS base table, in particular S2NxA tables and the Light table for members of the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan. A scaling factor of 120% for males and 110% for females has been used for the Jaguar Pension Plan, 115% for males and 105% for females for the Land Rover Pension Scheme, and 95% for males and 85% for females for the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan. There is an allowance for future improvements in line with the CMI (2014) projections with an allowance for long-term improvements of 1.25% per annum.

The Group noted that on 27 March 2017, a new mortality projection model (CMI (2016)) was released that potentially indicated a small reduction in longevity of, on average, 0.5 years compared to current assumptions. The Group considered adopting the new mortality tables and noted that there was uncertainty about the appropriate level of initial mortality improvements, both for the general population and when applying the model to other populations. On this basis, following discussion with and recommendation by the Group’s pension advisor, it is considered that the CMI (2014) mortality tables represent the Group’s best estimate of the future longevity of its defined benefit schemes’ members both during and after employment as at 30 June 2017.

On 3 April 2017, the Group approved and communicated to its defined benefit schemes’ members that the defined benefit schemes’ rules were to be amended with effect from 6 April 2017 so that, among other changes, retirement benefits will be calculated on a career average basis rather than based upon a member’s final salary at retirement. As a result of the remeasurement of the schemes’ liabilities, a past service credit of £437 million has arisen and was recognised in the three month period ended 30 June 2017.

 

19 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 of £15 million (31 March 2017: £7 million) 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, Australia and Japan. The Group recognises that there is a potential risk of further recalls in the future; however, the Group is unable at this point in time to reliably estimate the amount and timing of any potential future costs associated with this warranty issue.

Other taxes and duties

During the year ended 31 March 2015, the Group’s Brazilian subsidiary received a demand for 167 million Brazilian Real (£40 million at 30 June 2017 exchange rate) in relation to additional indirect taxes (PIS and COFINS) claimed as being due on local vehicle and parts sales made in 2010. The matter has been successfully contested before the Brazilian appellate authorities but the position is not yet considered final due to a theoretical opportunity for the tax authorities to decide to lodge a further appeal in the period following the most recent favourable judgement. Professional legal opinions obtained in Brazil also fully support that the basis of the tax authority’s original assertion was incorrect and, as a result, the likelihood of any settlement ultimately having to be made is considered remote. Accordingly, no provision has been recognised in the financial statements and the matter is disclosed here purely for the purposes of completeness.

19 Commitments and contingencies (continued)

 

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 aggregating to £1,401 million (31 March 2017: £2,047 million) and £9 million (31 March 2017: £31 million) relating to the acquisition of intangible assets.

Commitments and contingencies also includes other contingent liabilities of £127 million (31 March 2017: £82 million). The timing of any outflow will vary as and when claims are received and settled, which is not known with certainty.

The remaining financial commitments, in particular the purchase commitments and guarantees, are of a magnitude typical for the industry.

Inventory of £nil (31 March 2017: £nil) and trade receivables with a carrying amount of £159 million (31 March 2017: £179 million) and property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of £nil (31 March 2017: £nil) and restricted cash with a carrying amount of £nil (31 March 2017: £nil) are pledged as collateral/security against the borrowings and commitments.

Stipulated within the joint venture agreement for Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Co. Ltd. is a commitment for the Group to contribute a total of CNY 3,500 million of capital, of which CNY 2,875 million has been contributed as at 30 June 2017. The outstanding commitment of CNY 625 million translates to £72 million at 30 June 2017 exchange rate.

The Group’s share of capital commitments of its joint ventures at 30 June 2017 is £192 million (31 March 2017: £171 million) and contingent liabilities of its joint ventures at 30 June 2017 is £4 million (31 March 2017: £3 million).

 

20 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. In addition, covenants (such as Adjusted EBITDA to interest ratios) related to the Group’s financing arrangements are regularly monitored and compliance is certified annually

* Comparatives have been restated for the amendment to disclose separately ‘Effect of foreign exchange on cash and cash equivalents’ as a separate line item after ‘Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period’. The line items of ‘Cash flows generated from operating activities before changes in assets and liabilities’ in note 21 and ‘Cash used in operations’, ‘Net cash used in operating activities’, and ‘Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents’ in the consolidated cash flow statement were previously reported as £645 million, £(5) million, £54 million and £952 million for the period ended 30 June 2016. An adjustment of £44 million was recorded to those line items for the period ended 30 June 2016, to reflect the removal of the foreign exchange gain on cash and cash equivalents from those line items to present this amount separately as described above. The line items of ‘Cash flows generated from operating activities before changes in assets and liabilities’, ‘Cash used in operations’, ‘Net cash used in operating activities’, and ‘Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents’ were therefore restated as £601 million, £39 million, £98 million and £996 million for the period ended 30 June 2016. There is no impact on cash and cash equivalents as previously reported for the period ended 30 June 2016.
