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.
• FY18 investment spending is expected to be in the region of £4 – 4.35b
• JLR’s planning target is to achieve an 8-10% EBIT margin in the medium term
• The automotive environment is now more challenging with the shift to electrification, greater geopolitical uncertainty (e.g. Brexit) and softer markets in the UK and US with more competitive conditions generally.
• As previously indicated, JLR expects margin pressures seen in FY17, including higher incentive levels and launch and growth costs, to continue in FY18. Profitability by quarter will continue to reflect seasonality and launch timing, with prior model year Range Rover and Range Rover Sport running out in Q3 and a very strong pipeline of exciting new products expected to ramp up in Q4 and beyond.

Market environment

Economic growth was mixed but remained generally positive, notwithstanding continuing geopolitical uncertainty. Growth in the UK is slowing but inflation is increasing, which has increased expectations for higher interest rates (increased 0.25% in November) and seen the Pound strengthen somewhat. GDP growth in the US continues to be solid, despite the impact of hurricanes Harvey and Irma, supported by continuing low inflation. Economic growth in China in Q2 FY18 remained above market expectations but concerns over property price inflation and debt levels remain. The economic environment in some emerging markets remains challenging, however economic conditions in Russia and Brazil are improving with both emerging from recession.

    Lower material and operating costs (£30 million)

 

    Higher depreciation and amortisation (£68 million)

 

    Favourable foreign exchange and commodities (£64 million),

Revenue was £11.9 billion in H1 FY18, up £898 million compared to the same period last year, and PBT was £980 million (including the £437 million one-off pension credit in Q1 FY18) compared to £679 million in H1 FY17.

Cash flow, liquidity and capital resources

Free cash flow in Q2 FY18 was about break–even at negative £25 million after £1.0 billion of total product and other investment spending and £230 million of working capital inflows. In the quarter, £950 million of investment spending was capitalised and £83 million was expensed through the income statement. Free cash flow in H1 FY18 was negative £1.3 billion reflecting the negative free cash flow in Q1 FY18.

Cash and financial deposits at 30 September 2017 stood at £3.9 billion (comprising £1.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents and £2.2 billion of financial deposits) after the negative free cash flow of £25 million, a £70m decrease in the utilisation of a short-term debt facility and payment of the remaining £90 million of the £150 million dividend declared in Q1 FY18 to our parent TML Holdings Pte. Limited. The cash and financial deposits include an amount of £543 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 September 2017, the Company also had an undrawn revolving credit facility totalling £1.9 billion (amended and extended in July 2017), maturing in July 2022, and £134 million equivalent of an unutilised short-term uncommitted receivable factoring facility.

* 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 22 and ‘Cash generated from operations’, ‘Net cash generated from operating activities’, and ‘Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents’ in the condensed consolidated cash flow statement were previously reported as £621 million, £797 million, £756 million and £(65) million for the three month period ended 30 September 2016, and as £1,266 million, £802 million, £702 million and £(1,017) million for the six month period ended 30 September 2016. An adjustment of £30 million was recorded to those line items for the three month period ended 30 September 2016, and an adjustment of £74 million was recorded for the six month period ended 30 September 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 generated from operations’, ‘Net cash generated from operating activities’, and ‘Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents’ were therefore restated as £591 million, £767 million, £726 million and £(95) million for the three month period ended 30 September 2016, and as £1,192 million, £728 million, £628 million and £(1,091) million for the six month period ended 30 September 2016. There is no impact on cash and cash equivalents as previously reported for the period ended 30 September 2016.

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The information for the three and six month periods ended 30 September 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 16.

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 £285 million and £391 million have been adjusted to ‘Revenue’ for the three months and six months ended 30 September 2016 respectively. Realised foreign exchange gains of £40 million and £26 million have been adjusted to ‘Material and other cost of sales’ for the three months and six months ended 30 September 2016 respectively.

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

2 Alternative Performance Measures

Many companies use alternative performance measures to provide helpful additional information for users of their financial statements, telling a clearer story of how the business has performed over the period. Alternative performance measures are used by the Board of Management to monitor and manage the performance of the Group. These measures exclude certain items that are included in comparable statutory measures.

The alternative performance measures used within this Annual Report are defined below.

 

Alternative Performance
Measure

      

Definition

EBIT      Profit for the period before income tax expense, exceptional items, finance expense (net), finance income, gains/losses on unrealised commodity derivatives, foreign exchange gains/losses on unrealised derivatives as well as debt (not designated as hedges) and realised currency derivatives entered into to hedge certain foreign currency debt.
EBITDA      Profit for the period before income tax expense, exceptional items, finance expense (net), finance income, gains/losses on unrealised commodity derivatives, foreign exchange gains/losses on unrealised derivatives as well as debt (not designated as hedges) and realised currency derivatives entered into to hedge certain foreign currency debt, share of profit/loss from equity accounted investments and depreciation and amortisation.
Free cash flow before financing      Net cash generated from operating activities less net cash used in investing activities (excluding movements in short-term deposits) and after finance expenses and fees and payments of lease obligations. Free cash flow also includes foreign exchange gains/losses on short-term deposits and cash and cash equivalents.
Total product and other investment      Cash used in the purchase of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures, associates and other trading investments and expensed research and development costs.

The Group uses EBITDA as an alternative performance measure to review and measure the underlying profitability of the Group on an ongoing basis as it recognises that increased capital expenditure year-on-year will lead to an increase in depreciation and amortisation expense recognised within the consolidated income statement.

Free cash flow before financing 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.

3 Exceptional item

The exceptional item within ‘Material and other cost of sales’ of £1 million for the six months ended 30 September 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 £50 million for the six months ended 30 September 2016 relates to an interim insurance payment of £50 million in relation to the vehicles involved in the Tianjin incident.

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.

13 Provisions (continued)

 

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.

16 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 level 2 fair value measurements, as defined by IFRS 13, being those derived from inputs other than quoted prices which are observable. 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 2017.

For the valuations at 30 September 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.

19 Employee benefits (continued)

 

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 September 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 six month period ended 30 September 2017.

 

20 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 £16 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.

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 £1,261 million (31 March 2017: £2,047 million) and £13 million (31 March 2017: £31 million) relating to the acquisition of intangible assets.

Commitments and contingencies also includes other contingent liabilities of £145 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 £86 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 September 2017. The outstanding commitment of CNY 625 million translates to £70 million at 30 September 2017 exchange rate.

The Group’s share of capital commitments of its joint venture at 30 September 2017 is £190 million (31 March 2017: £171 million) and contingent liabilities of its joint venture at 30 September 2017 is £3 million (31 March 2017: £3 million).

21 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, the covenant related to the Group’s financing arrangements is regularly monitored and compliance is certified annually.

The following table summarises the capital of the Group:

* 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 22 and ‘Cash generated from operations’, ‘Net cash generated from operating activities’, and ‘Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents’ in the condensed consolidated cash flow statement were previously reported as £621 million, £797 million, £756 million and £(65) million for the three month period ended 30 September 2016, and as £1,266 million, £802 million, £702 million and £(1,017) million for the six month period ended 30 September 2016. An adjustment of £30 million was recorded to those line items for the three month period ended 30 September 2016, and an adjustment of £74 million was recorded for the six month period ended 30 September 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 generated from operations’, ‘Net cash generated from operating activities’, and ‘Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents’ were therefore restated as £591 million, £767 million, £726 million and £(95) million for the three month period ended 30 September 2016, and as £1,192 million, £728 million, £628 million and £(1,091) million for the six month period ended 30 September 2016. There is no impact on cash and cash equivalents as previously reported for the period ended 30 September 2016.
