Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
Revenue was £6.9 billion in Q2 FY24, up 30% year-on-year from Q2 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 96,817 up 28.6% year-on-year and up 3.8% compared to the prior
quarter. The order book remained strong with over 168,000 client orders at quarter end, reducing from 185,000 at
30 June 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 77% of the order book.
• Revenue was £6.9 billion in Q2 FY24, up 30.4% from Q2 FY23 reflecting favourable volumes, model mix,
pricing and FX
• Adjusted EBITDA1 was £1,021 million (EBITDA margin: 14.9%) in Q2 FY24, up from £557 million (EBITDA
margin: 10.6%) in Q2 FY23

• The profit before tax and exceptional items was £442 million in Q2 FY24 compared to a loss before tax and
exceptional items of £(173) million in Q2 FY23. The year-on-year improvement primarily reflects the
following factors:
o £425 million favourable volume and mix
o £199 million favourable pricing, offset slightly by £(24) million higher variable marketing costs
o £14 million reduction in material and manufacturing costs as a result of some lower commodity
prices YoY, offset by a £(39) million increase in warranty costs
o £(77) million increase in structural costs, reflecting SG&A (up £(96)m primarily for planned
marketing & selling expenses) and depreciation and amortisation up by £(32)m, slightly offset by
£51m favourable engineering & capitalisation
o £107 million for FX and commodities, which includes £(251) million adverse impact of operational
exchange caused by the strengthening of GBP year-on-year, largely offset by £210 million of
favourable realised derivatives as a result of the hedging policy as well as £105 million of
favourable revaluation and £43 million of unrealised commodity derivatives.
• Profit after tax was £272 million (after a tax charge of £(170) million) for Q2 FY24, an improvement from a
loss of £(98) million in Q2 FY23 (including a tax rebate of £75 million)
• Revenue was £13.8 billion for the six months to 30 September 2023, up 42.4% compared to the same period
a year ago reflecting improvements in volumes, model mix and pricing

o £372 million favourable pricing and lower variable marketing costs
o £(46) million increase in material and manufacturing costs as a results of inflationary pressures,
plus a £(57) million increase in warranty costs
o £(195)m increase in structural costs, reflecting £(196) million increase in FME and selling, admin
expenses up by £(85) million, £134 million favourable engineering and capitalisation, £(88)m
depreciation and amortisation, £39 million increase in interest earned due to higher cash balances
and market rates and £1 million of other.
o £236 million for FX and commodities, including £230 million FX revaluation, £(316) million of the
strengthening pound on revenue and costs offset by £247 million realised derivatives and £75
million unrealised commodities derivatives
• Profit after tax was £595 million (after a tax charge of £(282) million) for the six month period to 30
September 2023, an improvement from a loss of £(580) million in H1 FY23 (including a tax charge of £38
million)

1 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 September 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 22.
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.
During the six months ended 30 September 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 and six months ended 30 September 2022, and on the consolidated balance sheet at 30 September 2022 and 31
March 2023 are shown below:

Notes (forming part of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements)
1 Accounting policies (continued)
There is no impact to profit/loss before or after taxation, reported equity, or net assets in any of the previous financial periods.
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.
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.

Notes (forming part of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements)
1 Accounting policies (continued)
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 2023, and the projected cash flows of
the Group for at least 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 £5.8 billion at 30 September 2023, £4.3 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 £1.7 billion of maturing debt in the
going concern assessment period, comprising UKEF and CNY loan repayments, EUR bond repayments and early repayment
of EUR and USD bonds in October 2023 (see note 30). 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
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.

2 Alternative Performance Measures
In reporting financial information, the Group presents alternative performance measures (‘APMs’) which are not defined or
specified under the requirements of IFRS. The Group believes that these APMs, which are not considered to be a substitute
for or superior to IFRS measures, provide stakeholders with additional helpful information on the performance of the
business.
Alternative
Performance Definition

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
Adjusted EBITDA
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

borrowings.
Jaguar Land Rover retail sales represent vehicle sales made by dealers to end customers and
Retail sales include the sale of vehicles produced by our Chinese joint venture, Chery Jaguar Land Rover
Automotive Company Ltd.
Wholesales represent vehicle sales made to dealers. The Group recognises revenue on
Wholesales
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.

Notes (forming part of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements)
2 Alternative Performance Measures (continued)
Free cash flow is considered by the Group to be a key measure in assessing and understanding the total operating
performance of the Group and to identify underlying trends.
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 the three
and six month periods ended 30 September 2022 prior to the change was £(15) million and £(784) million respectively.
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 and accruals 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.
Reconciliations between these alternative performance measures and statutory reported measures are shown below and on
the next page.

26 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 records 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 uncertain timing and / or amounts.
Commitments:
- Plant and equipment 489 386 750
- Intangible assets 21 15 17
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 plants 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 September 2023. The outstanding commitment of CNY 1,525 million translates to £171 million at the 30 September
2023 exchange rate (30 September 2022: £193 million at the September 2022 exchange rate).
The Group’s share of capital commitments of its joint venture at 30 September 2023 is £7 million (31 March 2023: £12 million,
30 September 2022: £16 million) and contingent liabilities of its joint venture 30 September 2023 is £1 million (31 March
2023 and 30 September 2022: £nil).

27 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.
