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

Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc returned to profit and positive cash flow in the second quarter of Fiscal 2020/21 as sales continued to recover from the prior quarter also supported by ongoing Charge+ savings, however sales volumes, revenue and profitability were still down year-on-year as a result of the ongoing impact of Covid-19.

Key metrics for Q2 FY21 results, compared to Q1 FY21 and Q2 FY20, are as follows:

 

   

Retail sales 113,569 vehicles, up 53.3% quarter-on-quarter but down 11.9% year-on-year (incl. China up 3.7%)

 

   

Wholesales (excl. China JV) of 73,451 vehicles, up 50.2% QoQ but down 39.4% YoY

 

   

Revenue of £4.4 billion, up 52.2% QoQ but down 28.5% YoY

 

   

PBT of £65 million, compared to the loss before tax of £413 million in Q1 FY21 but lower than the PBT of £156 million in Q2 last year

 

   

Profit after tax (PAT) of £117 million (incl. £52 million tax credit), compared to a loss after tax of £648 million (incl. £ 235m tax charge) in Q1 FY21 and PAT of £100 million (incl. £56 million tax charge) in Q2 FY20

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA margin 11.1%, compared to 3.6% in Q1 FY21 and 13.4% in the same quarter a year ago

 

   

Adjusted EBIT margin 0.3%, compared to (13.6)% in the prior quarter and 4.5% in the same quarter a year ago

 

   

Free cash flow was positive £463 million (£2.0 billion better than Q1 FY21 and £506 million better than Q2 last year); after £531 million of investment spending and £528 million of working capital inflows as a result of the production restart and sales recovery from the prior quarter

 

   

Liquidity at 30 September 2020 was £5.0 billion, including £3.05 billion of cash and short-term investments and £ 1.9 billion undrawn credit facility

Market environment

 

   

Covid-19 continues to have a significant impact on global economic performance as governments across the globe continue to grapple with containing a second wave of the virus whilst balancing the need to support an economic recovery.

 

   

Passenger car industry volumes recovered strongly in Q2 FY21 across all regions compared to the prior quarter as social distancing measures were lifted, but remain weaker year-on-year (except in China) as Covid-19 continues to impact industry sales volumes.

 

   

Economic activity has continued to recover during the second quarter, however there remains considerable uncertainty about the extent, speed and regional differences of the recovery with many regions experiencing a second wave of the pandemic as infection rates continue to rise.

 

   

In addition, geopolitical tensions continue, particularly relating to trade with recent increased volatility in financial markets. Further uncertainty and volatility could arise with the upcoming US presidential election on 3 November and the transition period for Brexit moving ever closer with little clarity yet on the future trading arrangements between the UK and the European Union.

Jaguar Land Rover Q2 FY21 sales volumes performance

Total retail sales (including the China JV) were 113,569 units, up 53.3% quarter on quarter reflecting the continued recovery across all regions including the UK (up 231.6%), Europe (up 78.8%), Overseas (up 35.1%), North America (up 21.3%) and China (14.6%). However, retail sales in Q2 FY21 declined 11.9% year-on-year due to the ongoing impact of Covid-19 with sales down across all regions except China (up 3.7%). As expected, retail sales by model continued to recover in Q2 FY21 compared to the prior quarter but continued to be lower year-on-year. Sales of the New Land Rover Defender continued to ramp up retailing 9,813 vehicles in the second quarter.

Wholesales (excluding the China JV) totalled 73,451 units, up 50.2% quarter on quarter but down 39.4% year on year with sales declining in each region with the exception of China (up 25.8%). Wholesales of the new Land Rover Defender reached 12,125 vehicles in Q2 FY21.

Cash flow, liquidity and capital resources

In Q2 FY21 free cash flow was positive £463 million after £531 million of investment spending and £528 million of working capital inflows following the restart of production and the recovery in sales. The £463 million positive free cash flow in the second quarter was £2.0 billion better than in the prior quarter and £506 million better than in Q2 of last year. Of the £531 million total investment spending in Q2 FY21 £432 million was capitalised and £99 million of research and development costs were expensed through the income statement.

Total cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments at 30 September 2020 stood at £3.05 billion (comprising £2.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents and £259 million of short-term deposits and other investments). The cash and financial deposits include an amount of £257 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 2020, the Company also had an undrawn revolving credit facility totalling £1.9 billion, maturing in July 2022, which combined with total cash of £3.05 billion resulted in total available liquidity of £5.0 billion.

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’ under International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as adopted by the European Union (‘EU’). The balance sheet and accompanying notes as at 30 September 2019 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 19.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020, 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 2020.

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020.

The Group has been presenting gains and losses on effective cash flow hedges of inventory in the statement of other comprehensive income and expense as “not to be reclassified to income statement”. With wider industry practice emerging, clearer guidance now being available and with the present economic situation due to COVID-19, the Group has changed the presentation of these effective cash flow hedges of inventory to “may be reclassified to income statement”, from year ended 31 March 2021 and accordingly reclassified the comparative amounts for the prior periods. The change in presentation is within the statement of other comprehensive income and expense and does not affect net income.

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 2020.

Going concern

The Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors consider that adequate resources exist for the Group to continue operating for the foreseeable future.

There is significant liquidity and financing headroom at 30 September 2020 and throughout the going concern forecast period. As at 30 September 2020 total available liquidity stood at £5 billion: this does not include the 7.75% 5 year bond for $700 million that priced 7 October 2020. As compared to the management estimates at 31 March 2020, the Group’s business performance is better for the six months ended 30 September 2020, increasing the amount of headroom at 30 September 2020. Total wholesale volumes are higher than forecast at 31 March 2020, with a particularly strong recovery in China in the six months ended 30 September 2020. The EBIT margin for the six months ended 30 September 2020 was better than that forecast for the FY20 assessment.

The going concern assessment has been made utilising the models and assumptions from the assessment performed for the preparation of the FY20 financial statements, with the period to March 2021 being updated for actual observed performance and trends, while the six months period to September 2021 has been kept consistent with the FY 20 assessment and the forecast extended to March 2022 using the same basis of preparation. Details of the scenarios and assumptions used in the FY20 assessment are set out in Note 2 to the annual financial statements.

The Group has modelled two scenarios in its assessment of going concern; a base case and a severe but plausible downside scenario.

The base case takes into account the estimated impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic as well as other end market and operational factors throughout the going concern period and has been monitored against the actual results and cash generation in the period since 1 October 2020.

The impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain; however, the directors have considered latest external market commentaries and industry forecasts in arriving at a severe but plausible downside scenario.

Accounting policies (continued)

This downside scenario assumes a 10% reduction in sales across the going concern period as well as other risk sensitivities and mitigations considered in the ‘Severe scenario’ FY20 assessment. This additional decline in cash flows over and above the base case has an impact on available UK liquidity (which excludes cash in subsidiaries outside of the UK, adjusted for intra-month volatility and excludes new funding) of about 25% over the going concern period when compared to the base scenario.

In the downside scenario there is sufficient liquidity in the forecast for the Group to operate and discharge its liabilities as they fall due, taking into account only cash generated from operations and the funding facilities existing on the date of authorisation of these interim financial statements, including the presently undrawn revolving credit facility.

Consequently, the directors are confident that the Group will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the interim financial statements on a going concern basis.

Government grants

Employee costs for the three and six month periods ended 30 September 2020 are net of government grants received in relation to employees placed on furlough under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme of £54 million and £177 million respectively (three and six months ended 30 September 2019: £nil).

 

3

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.

Alternative Performance Measures (continued)

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.

During the three month period ended 30 September 2020, the definition of ‘Free cash flow’ was amended to exclude non-automotive investments and net investments in equity and debt investments held at fair value, which are deemed more financial investment in nature. The definition was also amended to exclude foreign exchange gains/losses on short-term deposits and cash and cash equivalents, therefore ensuring more consistent treatment since revaluation of other current assets and liabilities is already excluded. The Group considers these changes should provide greater clarity of Free Cash Flow more closely aligned to JLR’s competitors hence providing improved comparability for users of the APM. Free cash flow for the three and six month periods ended 30 September 2019 prior to the change was £(64) million and £(783) million respectively.

During the three month period ended 30 September 2020, the definitions of adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA were amended to exclude foreign exchange gains and losses on revaluation of other assets and liabilities, including short-term deposits and cash and cash equivalents. The Group considers the amended APM to better measure the underlying operational profitability of the Group, and is consistent with the treatment of the revaluation of other balance sheet items such as that of debt and unrealised hedges. It also recognises that the Group may use cash and/or derivatives to hedge debt and/or working capital balance sheet exposures and therefore it is logical to present gains or losses on revaluation of all such items consistently, excluded from EBITDA. This is also consistent with the Group’s definition of Free Cash Flow. Adjusted EBIT for the three and six month periods ended 30 September 2019 prior to the change was £295 million and £17 million respectively. Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six month periods ended 30 September 2019 prior to the change was £840 million and £1,053 million respectively.

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.

Operating cash flow before investment is used as a measure of the operating performance and cash available to the Group before the direct cash impact of investment decisions.

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.

Reconciliations between these alternative performance measures and statutory reported measures are shown on the next pages.

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 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, retailer terminations, employment cases, personal injury claims and compliance with emission and battery disposal regulations. The timing of outflows will vary as and when claims are received and settled, which is not known with certainty.

Provisions (continued)

 

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.

Restructuring provision

This provision relates to amounts payable to employees under Group restructuring programmes.

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 2020.

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 the valuations at 30 September 2020 and 31 March 2020, the mortality assumptions used are the SAPS base table, in particular S2PxA tables and the Light table for members of the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan.

For the Jaguar Pension Plan, scaling factors of 111 per cent to 117 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 101 per cent to 112 per cent have been used for female members.

For the Land Rover Pension Scheme, scaling factors of 107 per cent to 111 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 101 per cent to 109 per cent have been used for female members.

For the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan, an average scaling factor of 94 per cent has been used for male members and a scaling factor of 84 per cent has been used for female members.

There is an allowance for future improvements in line with the CMI (2019) projections and an allowance for long-term improvements of 1.25 per cent per annum and a smoothing parameter of 7.5.

For the valuations at 30 September 2019, the mortality assumptions used are the SAPS base table, in particular S2PxA tables and the Light table for members of the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan. Scaling factors of 112 per cent to 118 per cent for males and 101 per cent to 112 per cent for females have been used for the Jaguar Pension Plan, 107 per cent to 112 per cent for males and 101 per cent to 109 per cent for females for the Land Rover Pension Scheme, and 94 per cent for males and 84 per cent for females for the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan. There is an allowance for future improvements in line with the CMI (2018) projections and an allowance for long-term improvements of 1.25 per cent per annum.

A past service cost of £4 million was recognised in the six month period ended 30 September 2019 as part of the Group restructuring program that commenced in the year ended 31 March 2019.

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 £30 million (31 March 2020: £40 million; 30 September 2019: £18 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, Taiwan, 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

Contingencies and commitments include tax contingent liabilities of £64 million (31 March 2020: £44 million, 30 September 2019: £49 million). These mainly relate to tax audits and tax litigation claims.

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 £1,385 million (31 March 2020: £1,217 million, 30 September 2019: £1,225 million) and £7 million (31 March 2020: £14 million, 30 September 2019: £20 million) relating to the acquisition of intangible assets.

Commitments and contingencies also includes other contingent liabilities of £362 million (31 March 2020: £376 million, 30 September 2019: £376 million) relating to contractual claims and commitments. 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 £138 million (31 March 2020: £127 million, 30 September 2019: £nil) and trade receivables with a carrying amount of £25 million (30 March 2020: £nil, 30 September 2019: £nil) and property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of £nil (31 March 2020: £nil, 30 September 2019: £nil) and other financial assets with a carrying amount of £8 million (31 March 2020: £nil, 30 September 2019: £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, 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 2020. The outstanding commitment of CNY 1,525 million translates to £175 million at the 30 September 2020 exchange rate.

At 30 September 2019, the outstanding commitment was CNY 2,125 million (£241 million at the 30 September 2019 exchange rate) restated to reflect an additional CNY 1,500 million that was committed during the year ended 31 March 2017.

The Group’s share of capital commitments of its joint venture at 30 September 2020 is £51 million (31 March 2020: £69 million, 30 September 2019: £106 million) and contingent liabilities of its joint venture 31 March 2020 is £nil (31 March 2020: £nil, 30 September 2019: £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:
