- Jaguar Land Rover reported a £485m loss before tax and exceptional items, with revenues falling around 24% in the quarter to the end of September.
- Hackers targeted Jaguar Land Rover's systems at the end of August, forcing a five-week production halt from September 1 across UK factories including Solihull and Halewood.
- JLR booked £196 million of cyber-related costs and £42 million in exceptional redundancy costs, while the shutdown cut around 27,000 vehicles from production, reducing UK output by 0.17%.
- Thousands of suppliers, including small and medium-sized businesses, faced shutdowns, prompting warnings of bankruptcies as the UK government agreed guarantees for loans up to £1.5bn and Jaguar Land Rover established a supplier financing scheme.
- Amid wider pressures, US tariffs and phasing out of Jaguar models weighed on results, while JLR bosses warned further lost sales are expected over the current quarter despite production returning to normal levels.
