Jaguar Land Rover Posts Annual Loss After Tariffs and Cyberattack

The carmaker highlights a Q4 recovery alongside a £18 billion EV rollout.

Overview

  • Jaguar Land Rover, which reported results Thursday, recorded revenue down 20.9% to £22.9 billion and a net loss of £244 million.
  • US import tariffs hit a core export market as the company paused some deliveries to the United States, which reduced sales and raised costs.
  • A late‑summer cyberattack shut UK plants for about five weeks, disrupting work for thousands and costing an estimated £196 million.
  • After production returned to normal, fourth‑quarter revenue reached £6.9 billion, up 51% from Q3, with pre‑tax profit of £458 million before one‑off items.
  • The company is keeping about £18 billion of planned investment through 2029, outlining the Range Rover Electric and Jaguar Type 01, while reporting roughly £2.2 billion cash burn and about £6.9 billion in available liquidity.
