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

Q2 FY19 was a disappointing quarter with revenue of £5.6n billion, down 11% year on year and a loss before tax of £90 million. The results primarily reflect lower than expected sales (retails 129.9k down 13%) mainly due to more difficult market conditions experienced in China and continuing diesel weakness in Europe and the UK.

Key metrics for Q2 FY19 results, compared to Q2 FY18, are as follows:

 

 

Retail sales of 129.9k units (including the China JV), down 13.2%

 

 

Wholesales of 130.7k units (including the China JV), down 14.7%

 

 

Revenue of £5.6 billion, down from £6.3 billion

 

 

Loss before tax £90 million, compared to £382 million PBT

 

 

Loss after tax £101 million, compared to PAT of £306 million

 

 

EBITDA margin was 9.1% and EBIT margin was (0.7)%

 

 

Free cash flow was negative £624 million after total product and other investment spending of £1 billion and £114 million of working capital outflows

Market environment

 

 

China has seen relatively slow GDP growth of 6.5% in Q2 (lowest since financial crisis) and the auto market has deteriorated with industry sales down 7.7% (12% in Sept) primarily due to general uncertainty created by tariff changes and increasing trade tensions

 

 

The US continues to show strong GDP growth of over 3%, driven by positive consumer and business confidence, however, rising interest rates and cyclicality are weighing on the auto market which was down 3% with continuing high incentives and there remains a risk of increased tariffs on European imports

 

 

UK GDP remains weaker (1.4%) with low consumer confidence and inflation above target from the weak pound relating to Brexit and the auto market was down 10.2%, exacerbated by continuing weak diesel demand and the new emissions testing certification requirements (WLTP)

 

 

Europe continues to see solid GDP growth and the auto market was up 4.3% although diesel sales are down and WLTP weighed on the market in September in particular

The total industry car volume data above has been compiled using relevant data available at the time of publishing this Interim Report, compiled from national automotive associations such as the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders in the UK and the ACEA in Europe, according to their segment definitions, which may differ from those used by JLR.

Jaguar Land Rover Q2 FY19 sales volumes year-on-year performance

Total retail sales were 129,887 units, down 13.2%, primarily as a result of more challenging market conditions in China where retails were down 43.8% year on year. Retail sales were also down in Europe (11.9%) and in North America (4.6%). Retails were down slightly 0.6% in the UK, and up 8.2% in Overseas markets, outperforming industry volumes in each market. Sales of new models including the Velar (up 6.5k units), E-PACE (10.3k units) and I-PACE (1.1k units) were more than offset by lower sales of models later in their life cycle including Discovery Sport and Evoque (down 11.1k units and 9.9k units respectively).

Wholesales (including the China JV) totalled 130,652 units, down 14.7%. By region, wholesales were down in China (39.4%), Europe (12.6%), the UK (8.7%), North America (1.1%) and Overseas (0.8%).

Cash flow, liquidity and capital resources

Free cash flow was negative £624 million after £1 billion of total product and other investment spending and £114 million of working capital outflows in Q2 FY19. In the quarter, £882 million of investment spending was capitalised and £113 million was expensed through the income statement.

Cash and financial deposits at 30 September 2018 stood at £2.6 billion (comprising £1.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents and £0.8 billion of short term deposits and other investments) after the negative free cash flow and proceeds from a €500 million 4.5% bond issued in September 2018. The cash and financial deposits include an amount of £373 million held in subsidiaries of Jaguar Land Rover outside of the United Kingdom.

As at 30 September 2018, the Company also had an undrawn revolving credit facility totalling £1.9 billion, maturing in July 2022, and £31 million equivalent for an unutilised short-term uncommitted receivable factoring facility.

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 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 2018, 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 2018.

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

31 March 2018, as described in those financial statements except as described below.

Change in accounting policies

The Group has had to change its accounting policy and make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting the following new standards:

 

   

IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’

 

   

IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’

The impact of the adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies are disclosed in note 2.

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 estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018.

Change in accounting policies

This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers on the Group’s financial statements which have been applied from 1 April 2018.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities and introduces a new impairment model for financial assets and new rules for hedge accounting.

The Group has undertaken an assessment of classification and measurement on transition and has not identified a material impact on the financial statements given that equity investments which are not equity accounted are valued at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group has undertaken an assessment of the impairment provisions, especially with regards to trade receivables and has applied the simplified approach under the standard. For all principal markets, the Group operates with major financial institutions who take on the principal risks of sales to customers and consequently the Group receive full payment for these receivables between 0–30 days. Therefore the Group has concluded that there is no material impact under the standard for remeasurement of impairment provisions.

The Group has undertaken an assessment of its hedge relationships and has concluded that the Group’s current hedge relationships qualified as continuing hedges upon the adoption of IFRS 9. The Group has identified a change with respect to the treatment of the cost of hedging, specifically the time value of the foreign exchange options and foreign currency basis included in the foreign exchange forwards and cross-currency interest rate swaps. The time value of foreign exchange options and the foreign currency basis included in the foreign exchange forwards and cross-currency interest rate swaps is now recorded in a separate component of the statement of comprehensive income. Foreign exchange gains/(losses) for non-financial items will now be recognised as an adjustment to that non-financial item (i.e. inventory) when recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and this adjustment has been made on a prospective basis from 1 April 2018. A transition adjustment has been recognised for this.

Change in accounting policies (continued)

 

As required under the transition rules of IFRS 9, comparative periods have been restated only for the retrospective application of the cost of hedging approach for the time value of the foreign exchange options and also voluntarily application for foreign currency basis included in the foreign exchange forwards and cross-currency interest rate swaps. Accordingly, the information presented for prior periods is not wholly comparable to the information presented for current year. The financial impact of this change is as follows:

 

Balance sheet item

(£ millions)

  

Change as at 31 March 2018 as a

result of adoption of IFRS 9

  

Reason for change

Retained earnings

   (22)    Time value of options recognised in Cost of Hedge Reserve as per IFRS 9.

Hedge reserve

   64    Basis spread adjustment recognised as a separate component of OCI.

Cost of hedge reserve

   (46)    Time value of options and basis spread adjustment recognised as a separate component of OCI.

In addition, under the published change issued by the IASB in February 2018 regarding the modification of financial liabilities, an additional charge of £5 million has been recognised for the financial year ended 31 March 2018 representing the loss recognised on the modification of the Group’s undrawn revolving credit facility.

The income statement impact for the adoption of IFRS 9 was a reduction in ‘profit before tax’ of £27 million and a £22 million reduction in ‘profit after tax’ for the 6 month period ended 30 September 2017.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers replaces IAS 18 Revenue and IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations (such as IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes).

The Group has applied the modified retrospective application approach and has not restated prior comparative financial information.

The primary impact on the Group relates to consideration payable to customers, which the standard defines as discounts, rebates, refunds or other forms of disbursement to customers (such as retailers) or end customers (as part of the overall distribution chain), where a service is not received in return and, if a service is received in return, where it cannot be fair-valued. The treatment of such items is a reclassification of marketing expenses to revenue reductions and this totalled £42 million for the 6 month period ended 30 September 2018.

Other specific impacts on the Group relates to the treatment of associated vehicle sale performance obligations, and the assessment of principal versus agent in providing or arranging for storage, freight and in-transit insurance alongside the sale of a vehicle. These transport arrangements are made when delivering vehicles to retailers across the global network. The Group has determined that it is an agent in providing these services, and has amended the presentation of these amounts from a gross basis (i.e. revenues and costs separately) to a net basis (where consideration received will be presented net of associated costs in the income statement). The financial impact of this change is a reclassification of costs against revenue of £154 million for the 6 month period ended 30 September 2018.

The Group has reclassified royalty income and incremental income from customers from ‘Other income’ to ‘Revenue’ and this totalled £66 million for the 6 month period ended 30 September 2018. The result of the changes discussed above has not materially impacted profit before tax or the Group’s EBIT for the 6 month period ended 30 September 2018.

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 within this Annual Report are defined below.

 

Alternative Performance
Measure

      

Definition

EBITDA      EBITDA is defined as profit before income tax expense, exceptional items, finance expense (net of capitalised interest), finance income, gains/losses on unrealised derivatives and debt, gains/losses on realised derivatives entered into for the purpose of hedging debt, share of profit/loss from equity accounted investments, depreciation and amortisation.
EBIT                   EBIT is defined as for EBITDA but including share of profit/loss from equity accounted investments, depreciation and amortisation.
Free cash flow      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 before financing 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, equity accounted investments and other trading investments and expensed research and development costs.
Operating cash flow before investment      Free cash flow before financing excluding total product and other investment.
Working capital      Changes in assets and liabilities as presented in note 25. This comprises movements in assets and liabilities excluding movements relating to financing or investing cash flows or non-cash items that are not included in EBIT or EBITDA.
Retail sales      Jaguar Land Rover retail sales represent vehicle sales made by dealers to end customers and include the sale of vehicles produced by our Chinese joint venture, Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
Wholesale sales      Wholesales represent vehicle sales made to dealers. The Group recognises revenue on wholesales.

The Group uses 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 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.

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.

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

Taxation

Recognised in the income statement

The income tax for the six month period ended 30 September 2018 and 30 September 2017 is charged at the estimated effective tax rate expected to apply for the applicable financial year ends.

 

13

Capital expenditure

Capital expenditure in the six month period was £695 million (six month period to 30 September 2017: £1,232 million) on property, plant and equipment and £889 million (six month period to 30 September 2017: £797 million) was capitalised as intangible assets (excluding research and development expenditure credits). £18 million of heritage assets have been written down during the six month period ended 30 September 2018 (six month period to 30 September 2017: £nil). There were no material disposals or change in the use of assets.

 

14

Intangible assets

The Group has updated the cash flow forecast for 2018/2019 used to calculate the recoverable amount of the Group’s single cash-generating unit as at 30 September 2018 and has undertaken additional sensitivities on certain key inputs into the value in use model and concluded that a full impairment test is not required.

As disclosed on page 82–83 of the Group’s Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2018, the Group considers the key assumptions in the cash flow forecasts to be sales volumes, exchange rates, commodity rates, production capacity and costs and capital expenditure. It continues to monitor on a periodic basis the impact of certain future strategic (implications of Brexit, increasing tariffs), operational (diesel uncertainty), legal and compliance (environmental regulations and compliance) and financial risks (competitive business efficiency, exchange rate fluctuations) in order to assess whether an impairment trigger has occurred.

The Group continues to assess the potential impacts of Brexit and increasing tariffs. Until the Brexit negotiations are sufficiently concluded, it is not possible to determine with certainty the full financial impact to the Group and impact on the value in use calculation, if any.

Included in ‘Provisions made during the period’ is £(7) million arising in connection with warranty arrangements with suppliers that are classified in ‘Other financial assets’.

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.

Other employee benefits obligations

This provision relates to the LTIP scheme for certain employees.

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 2018.

The following tables 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.

Employee benefits (continued)

 

For the valuations at 30 September 2018 and 31 March 2018, 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 113 per cent to 119 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 102 per cent to 114 per cent have been used for female members.

For the Land Rover Pension Scheme, scaling factors of 108 per cent to 113 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 102 per cent to 111 per cent have been used for female members.

For the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan, an average scaling factor of 95 per cent has been used for male members and a scaling factor of 85 per cent has been used for female members.

There is an allowance for future improvements in line with the CMI (2017) projections and an allowance for long-term improvements of 1.25 per cent per annum.

Following consultation with employees, 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. As a result, among other changes, future retirement benefits will be calculated each year and revalued until retirement in line with a prescribed rate 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 arose and was recognised in the six month period ended 30 September 2017.

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 2018: £17 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

Contingencies and commitments include tax contingent liabilities of £39 million (31 March 2018: £42 million). These mainly relate to tax audits and tax litigation claims.

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 £1,139 million (31 March 2018: £853 million) and £14 million (31 March 2018: £15 million) relating to the acquisition of intangible assets.

Commitments and contingencies also includes other contingent liabilities of £101 million (31 March 2018: £149 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.

Commitments (continued)

 

Inventory of £nil (31 March 2018: £nil) and trade receivables with a carrying amount of £195 million (31 March 2018: £155 million) and property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of £nil (31 March 2018: £nil) and restricted cash with a carrying amount of £nil (31 March 2018: £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 2018. The outstanding commitment of CNY 625 million translates to £70 million at 30 September 2018 exchange rate.

The Group’s share of capital commitments of its joint venture at 30 September 2018 is £147 million (31 March 2018: £159 million) and contingent liabilities of its joint venture 30 September 2018 is £1 million (31 March 2018: £1 million).

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:
