57、ts 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

58、international accounting standards.The balance sheet and accompanying notes as at 31 December 2023 have been disclosed solely for the information of the users.The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 are not the Companys statutory accounts for that financial year but are de

59、rived from those accounts.Those accounts have been reported on by the Companys 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 thei

60、r 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 co

61、nsolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024,which were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards.The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have b

62、een prepared on the going concern basis as set out within the directors report of the Groups Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024.The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024,as described in those

63、 financial statements.Estimates and judgementsThe preparation of condensed consolidated 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 expen

64、se.Actual results may differ from these estimates.In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements,the significant estimates include Impairment of intangible and tangible fixed assets,Retirement benefit obligation,Deferred tax asset recognition and Product warranty.For further

65、information on significant judgements and estimates refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 and note 19 of this report.Going concernThe condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,which the Directors consider

66、 appropriate for the reasons set out below.The Directors have assessed the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2024,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

67、concern assessment period).The Group has available liquidity of 5.1 billion at 31 December 2024,3.5 billion of which is cash,short term deposits and other investments,with the remainder 1.6 billion being the undrawn RCF facility.Within the going concern assessment period there is a 1 billion minimum

68、 quarter-end liquidity covenant attached to the Groups UKEF loans and forward start RCF facility.There is 2.1 billion of maturing debt in the going concern assessment period,and other than the refinancing of the US Syndicated loan of$500 million,no new funding is assumed.Net debt decreased by 0.1 bi

69、llion in the quarter ended 31 December 2024.The Group will continue to monitor and take action to reduce net debt in the future.Further details of the Groups available financing facilities and the maturity of facilities are described in note 21.The Group has assessed its projected cash flows over th

70、e going concern assessment period.This base case uses the most recent Board-approved forecasts that include the going concern assessment period.The base case assumes steady wholesale volumes,with associated increases in EBIT in the going concern assessment period compared to the previous 12 months r

71、eflecting the continued implementation of the Reimagine strategy,strong demand and a reduction in supply constraints.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 t

72、hat breaches the 1 billion liquidity financing covenant.The reverse stress test models an appropriate assumption in reduction in demand across the Groups product portfolio as the primary risk on wholesale volumes is now deemed to be more likely to arise from demand rather than supply given resolutio

73、n of previously noted supply constraints.In order to reach a liquidity level that breaches covenants,it would require a sustained decline in wholesale volumes of 45%compared to the base case over a twelve month period.The reverse stress test reflects the variable profit impact of the wholesale volum

74、e 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 a

75、re significantly lower than demand forecasts and the volumes achieved during previous component supply constraint periods.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 downsi

76、de 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.Under all these scenarios the Group has sufficient headroom.The Directors,after making appropriate enquiries

77、 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 con

78、cern basis in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.162Alternative performance measuresIn reporting financial information,the Group presents alternative performance measures(APMs)that are not defined or specified under the requirements of IFRS.The Group believes that th

79、ese 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 measureDefinitionAdjusted EBITDAAdjusted EBITDA is de

89、ales 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

90、 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

91、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.The Group uses ROCE to assess the efficiency in allocating capital to profitable investments.Free cash flow is co

92、nsidered 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

93、 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 twelve-month period;as well as over the longer term.Total cash and cash equ

236、EW REPORT TO JAGUAR LAND ROVER AUTOMOTIVE PLC Conclusion We have been engaged by Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc(“the company”)to review the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended 31 December 2024 which comprises the Condensed Consolidated Income Sta

237、tement,Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Expenses,Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet,Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity,Condensed Consolidated Cashflow Statement and the related explanatory notes.Based on our review,nothing has come to our attention th

238、at causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended 31 December 2024 are not prepared,in all material respects,in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted for use in the UK.Basis for conclusion We conducted our

239、 review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements(UK)2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity(ISRE(UK)2410)issued for use in the UK.A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries,primarily of persons

240、 responsible for financial and accounting matters,and applying analytical and other review procedures.We read the other information contained in the interim report and consider whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed consolidat

241、ed interim financial statements.A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing(UK)and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit

242、.Accordingly,we do not express an audit opinion.Conclusions relating to going concern Based on our review procedures,which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report,nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe t

243、hat the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting,or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that have not been appropriately disclosed.This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE(U

244、K)2410.However,future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern,and the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the Group will continue in operation.Directors responsibilities The interim report is the responsibility of,and has been approved by,the directors

245、.As disclosed in note 1,the latest annual consolidated financial statements of the company are prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards.The directors are responsible for preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in the interim report

246、in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted for use in the UK.In preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements,the directors are responsible for assessing the groups ability to continue as a going concern,disclosing,as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the going conc

247、ern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations,or have no realistic alternative but to do so.Our responsibility Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in the int

248、erim report based on our review.Our conclusion,including our conclusions relating to going concern,are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures,as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report.The purpose of our review work and to whom we owe our responsibilit

249、ies This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the terms of our engagement.Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose.To the fullest extent permitted by law,we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company for our review work,for this report,or for the conclusions we have reached.Craig Parkin for and on behalf of KPMG LLP Chartered Accountants One Snowhill Birmingham B4 6GH 30 January 2025
