JLR delivered a robust performance in Q3 FY25 with record quarterly revenue, highest EBIT margin in a decade and a ninth successive profitable quarter. CV revenues declined on account of lower volumes and mix, however EBITDA margins improved to 12.4% (up 130 bps) primarily reflecting material cost saving and the impact of PLI incentive. PV revenues were down 4.3% however EBITDA margin was up by 120 bps at 7.8% due to cost controls and PLI incentive.
The company received sanction of Automotive Production Linked Incentives (PLI) in December 2024. Accordingly, an income of ₹351 Cr has been recognized.

Looking Ahead:
We expect underlying domestic demand to improve gradually on account of infrastructure spends, slew of exciting product launches and stable interest rates. While JLR wholesales are expected to improve further in Q4 FY25, we remain watchful on the overall demand situation, particularly in China.

PB Balaji, Group Chief Financial Officer, Tata Motors said:
“In Q3, the performance of all businesses improved sequentially. For YTD FY25, our business grew 1.6% over the previous year to ₹323.0K Cr and delivered a robust PBT (bei) of ₹22.3K Cr (+14.5%). The fundamentals of the business are strong and therefore despite external challenges we are confident of delivering another strong performance this year.”

Financials
JLR delivered a robust performance in Q3 FY25 with record Q3 revenue and the highest EBIT margin in a decade, and a ninth successive profitable quarter. Revenue for the quarter was £7.5 billion, up 1.5% YoY, while YTD revenue at £21.2 billion was flat YoY. Compared to Q2 FY25, revenue was up 16%, driven by higher wholesales following supply disruptions in Q2 FY25. PBT (bei) in Q3 was £523 million, down from £627 million a year ago, while YTD FY25 PBT (bei) was £1.6 billion, up 7% YoY. EBIT margin was 9% (up 20 bps YoY). The increase in profitability year-on-year reflects higher volumes, improved mix and a reduction in depreciation and amortisation (D&A) driven by Castle Bromwich production cessation and ICE end of life extensions, partially offset by an increase in VME, warranty costs and unfavourable FX revaluation.

Looking ahead
Looking ahead, while mindful of the challenging economic backdrop, the Company is on track to achieve its profitability and
cash flow targets in FY25, with EBIT margin ≥8.5% and positive net cash.

Adrian Mardell, JLR Chief Executive Officer, said:
“JLR has delivered a robust performance in the third quarter of our financial year, and further milestones in our Reimagine strategy. Thanks to our people and partners we achieved record revenue and our best EBIT margin in a decade and our electrification plans are progressing. We revealed the beautiful, reimagined Jaguar design vision – Type 00 – in Miami, and later this year, we will launch Range Rover Electric.”
