We have delivered a further outstanding financial performance in quarter three, with our best quarterly profit for seven years and our highest ever revenue for the first nine months of a financial year.
Sales of our modern luxury vehicles hit new records in the quarter, and we are excited about the strong client interest for our soon to launch Range Rover Electric.
I must attribute these results to our talented and dedicated people, who work relentlessly to bring our exceptional modern luxury cars to the market.
Looking ahead, we are mindful of the challenges the business will face but we are confident that we will continue to successfully deliver our Reimagine Strategy.
ADRIAN MARDELL, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
I am very pleased with our strong financial results this quarter and year to date, with record free cash flow reducing our net debt to £1.6 billion.
RICHARD MOLYNEUX, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc today reported its financial results for the three months to 31 December 2023 (Q3 FY24).
JLR delivered another strong performance in Q3 FY24, increasing wholesales to fulfil more client orders in the quarter. Revenue for the quarter was £7.4 billion, up 22% versus Q3 FY23 and up 8% versus Q2 FY24. Revenues for the nine months to 31 December 2023 were £21.1 billion - JLR’s highest ever revenue generation in the first nine months of a financial year and up 35% compared to the prior year.
Profit before tax and exceptional items (PBT) in the quarter was £627 million, up from £265 million a year ago. EBIT margin was positive at 8.8%, more than doubling from 3.7% a year ago. The higher profitability year-on-year reflects favourable volumes and reduced chip costs, offset partially by unfavourable fixed marketing, administration and FX revaluation compared to a year ago. Profit after tax in the quarter was £592 million, compared to a profit of £261 million in the same quarter a year ago. PBT YTD was £1.5 billion and PAT YTD was £1.2 billion.
Free cash flow for the period was £626 million. At the end of the quarter, total cash was £4.3 billion and net debt was £1.6 billion, with gross debt of £5.8 billion. Total liquidity was £5.8 billion, including the £1.52 billion undrawn revolving credit facility maturing April 1, 2026.
Looking ahead, the Company is on track to achieve its profitability and cashflow targets. The EBIT margin for FY24 is expected to be over 8% and we continue to expect operating cashflow to support net debt of less than £1 billion by the end of FY24 and positive net cash in FY25.
