OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Our revenue and profitability were higher in FY2022/23 compared to the prior year largely due to the improving production volumes caused by the
easing of the global supply chain semiconductor shortages. As the year progressed, quarterly improvements could be seen in revenue, profitability
and free cash flow, primarily as a result of higher wholesale volumes, favourable mix and pricing with higher inflation largely offset by pricing and cost

In March 2022, the European Commission and UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) conducted inspections at the premises of, and sent out formal requests
for information to, several companies and associations active in the automotive sector. The investigations concern possible infringements in relation to the collection,
treatment and recover y of end-of-life cars and vans which are considered waste (ELVs). We understand the scope of the investigations will involve determining
whether manufacturers and impor ters of cars and vans coordinated (i) the compensation of ELV collection, treatment, and recover y companies, and (ii) the use of
data relating to the recyclability or recoverability of ELVs in adver tising materials, and whether such conduct amounts to an infringement of relevant competition
laws. No Group company was the subject of inspections but since that time JLR has received requests for information and is cooperating with the European
Commission and CMA. The inspections and requests for information are preliminar y investigator y steps and do not prejudge the outcome of the investigations. If an
infringement is established, there are a range of possible remedies, including a f ine and/or the prohibition of cer tain business practices. Given that the investigations
are at an early stage, it is dif f icult to predict the outcome or what remedies, if any, may be required.

and reach their full potential.

As part of the Business Plan we aim to:


•shape a culture of unity, belonging, inclusion and respect;
•implement progressive policies, benefits and support; and
•engage our employees to accelerate our progress.

The Company’s Board of Directors understand the importance of the Group’s employees to the long-term success of the business. The
Group regularly communicates to its employees through presentations, internal group-wide emails and newsletters.

A pulse survey undertaken annually allows employees to formally provide feedback to further support the long term plans of the Group in
addition to informal feedback sessions held during the year with various Executive Directors.

Learning and development continues to be an important area of support to employees through both training days and e-learning modules.
Internal networks to support wellbeing have been established to provide and create communities to discuss and share support on mental
health, general wellbeing and advice on the coronavirus outbreak.

We proudly support the growing number of active diversity and inclusion employee-led networks both in the UK and Overseas. These in-

clients and others and help us to operate globally. For example, we have engaged in strategic discussions with key component suppliers and chip producers to
secure long-term supply agreements for future product programmes, to increase our resilience. The Group has key objectives and principles
which are set out clearly in the Global Supplier Management policy. Ensuring this policy is followed to achieve consistent and best practice
in our relationships with our suppliers, in addition to ensuring ethical behaviour, sustainability and health and safety is considered critical to
the success of our business relationships.

The Company’s Board of Directors actively seek information on the interaction with stakeholders and employees to ensure that they have
sufficient information to reach appropriate conclusions about the risks faced by the Group. An example of such interaction includes the
Company’s Board of Directors monitoring the Group’s engagement with their clients through the use of various Customer Experience Insight

omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our
audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are
not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be
expected to detect noncompliance with all laws and regulations.

1 BACKGROUND AND OPERATIONS

Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as “the Group” or “JLR”. The Company is a public
limited company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The address of its registered office is Abbey Road, Whitley, Coventry, CV3 4LF,
England, United Kingdom.

The Company is a subsidiary of Tata Motors Limited, India and acts as an intermediate holding company for the Jaguar Land Rover business. The principal
activity during the year was the design, development, manufacture and marketing of high-performance luxury saloons, specialist sports cars and four-
wheel-drive off-road vehicles.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in Pound Sterling (GBP) and rounded to the nearest million GBP (£ million) unless otherwise
stated. Results for the year ended and as at 31 March 2021 have been disclosed solely for the information of the users.

2 ACCOUNTING INFORMATION AND POLICIES

Statement of compliance
These consolidated and parent company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards.
The Company has taken advantage of section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and, therefore, the separate financial statements of the Company do not
include the income statement or the statement of comprehensive income of the Company on a stand-alone basis.

Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair
value at the end of each reporting period as explained in the accounting policies in note 37.

Going concern
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the Directors consider to be appropriate for the reasons set out below.

The Directors have assessed the financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2023, and the projected cash flows of the Group for at least the twelve-
month period from the date of authorisation of the financial statements (the ‘going concern assessment period’).

The Group had available liquidity of £5.3 billion at 31 March 2023, including £3.8 billion of cash and the Group’s undrawn £1.52 billion revolving credit
facility, which was renewed on 16 December 2022 with a maturity date of April 2026. There is a £1.0 billion minimum quarter-end liquidity covenant in
the Group’s UKEF loans and RCF facility over the going concern assessment period. There is £1.4 billion of maturing debt in the going concern assessment
period, comprising UKEF and CNY loan repayments and EUR bond repayments, and no new funding is assumed. Net debt was reduced by £0.2 billion
in the year as the Group continues to take actions to reduce net debt in the future. Further details of the Group’s available financing facilities and the
maturity of facilities is described in note 27.

The Group has assessed its projected cash flows over the going concern assessment period. This base case uses the most recent Board-approved
forecasts that include the going concern assessment period; taking into account the Group’s expectations of improved semiconductor supply, optimisation
of production to prioritise the highest margin products along with the expectations relating to prevailing economic conditions, including the impact of
inflationary pressures on material costs and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) commitments.

The base case assumes a steady improvement in wholesale volumes, with associated increases in EBIT, in the going concern assessment period compared
to the previous 12 months as semiconductor supply related production constraints are expected to progressively ease, supported by new partnership
agreements with key semiconductor suppliers.

The Group has carried out a reverse stress test against the base case to determine the decline in wholesale volume over a 12-month period that would
result in a liquidity level that breaches the £1.0 billion liquidity financial covenant. The reverse stress test assumes continued supply constraints over the
12-month period and optimisation of production to maximise production of higher margin products.

In order to reach a liquidity level that breaches covenants in Q4 of FY24, it would require a sustained decline in wholesale volumes of more than 65%
compared to the base case over a 12-month period. The reverse stress test reflects the variable profit impact of the wholesale volume decline, and
assumes all other assumptions are held in line with the base case. It does not reflect other potential upside measures that could be taken in such a
reduced volume scenario or any new funding.

The Group does not consider this scenario to be plausible given that the stress test volumes are significantly lower than the volumes seen during both
the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the worst quarter of semiconductor shortages. The Group has a strong order bank as at 31 March 2023 and is
confident that it can significantly exceed reverse stress test volumes.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 84
The Group has also considered the impact of severe but plausible downside scenarios, including scenarios that reflect a decrease in variable profit per
unit compared with the base case to include additional increases in material costs as a result of inflationary increases and other related production costs.
The expected wholesale volumes under all of these scenarios is higher than under the reverse stress test.

The Directors, after making appropriate enquiries and taking into consideration the risks and uncertainties facing the Group, consider that the Group has
adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence throughout the going concern assessment period, meeting its liabilities as they fall due.
Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

Accounting policies
Accounting policies are included in the relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements. These are presented as text highlighted in orange boxes
on pages 89 to 150. The accounting policies below are applied throughout the financial statements.

Climate change
In the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the Group has considered the potential effects of climate change, related regulatory
requirements and of the targets set out in the Group’s Strategic Report. Where relevant, these are included within assumptions and estimates used to
determine the carrying value of assets and liabilities at 31 March 2023. In particular, the Group has considered the impact on the future cash flows used
in the impairment assessment of its cash-generating unit (see note 20); and on its provisions for the costs of compliance with emission regulations (see
note 29).

Areas not considered to be key areas of judgement or contain estimation uncertainty that may be impacted by climate-related risks in the current
financial year are outlined below:

Recoverability of trade receivables


Climate related matters could impact the Group’s customers and subsequently the ability to pay their receivables. There have been no material climate-
related matters during the year that have impacted the recoverability of receivables, and the Group continues to monitor recoverability on an ongoing
basis and does not deem this to be a material risk or judgement.

Useful lives of assets


Climate related matters could reduce the useful life of assets for example due to physical or legal risks resulting in accelerated depreciation or amortisation
recognised each financial year. From a review of the useful lives, there is deemed to be no material impact from climate-related matters.

Inventory valuation
The value of inventories could be impacted by climate related matters, resulting in obsolescence or the need to recognise additional provisions. After
reviewing inventory valuation as at 31 March 2023, inventory is deemed appropriately valued when taking into consideration climate-related matters.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements include Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company.
Control exists when the Company (a) has power over the investee, (b) is exposed or has rights to variable return from its involvement with the investee
and (c) has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct relevant activites of the investee. Relevant activites are those activities that
significantly affect an entity’s returns. In assessing control, potential voting rights that currently are exercisable are taken into account, as well as other
contractual arrangements that may influence control. Intercompany transactions and balances including unrealised profits are eliminated in full on
consolidation.

Joint ventures and associates (equity accounted investments)

A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an
arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. A joint venture
is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

Associates are those entities over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating
policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control of those policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds
between 20 and 50 per cent of the voting power of the investee unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case.

The results, assets and liabilities of joint ventures and associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting
as described in note 16.

Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Those that are significant to the Group are discussed separately on the next page.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 85
Judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have a significant effect on the
amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:

• Revenue recognition: The Group uses judgement to determine when control of its goods, primarily vehicles and parts, pass to the customer. This is
assessed with reference to indicators of control, including the risks and rewards of ownership and legal title with reference to the underlying terms
of the customer contract. Refer to note 5 for further information.

• Assessment of cash-generating units: The Group has determined that there is one cash-generating unit. This is on the basis that there are no smaller
groups of assets that can be identified with certainty that generate specific cash inflows that are independent of the inflows generated by other
assets or groups of assets. Refer to note 20 for further information.

• Alternative performance measures (APMs) and exceptional items: The Group exercises judgement in determining the adjustments to apply to IFRS
measurements in order to derive APMs that provide additional useful information on the underlying trends and in classifying items as exceptional
items. Refer to notes 3 and 4 for further information.

• Capitalisation of product engineering costs: The Group applies judgement in determining at what point in a vehicle programme’s life cycle the
recognition criteria under IAS 38 are satisfied, and in determining the nature of the cost capitalised. Refer to note 20 for further information.

• Deferred tax asset recognition: The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the availability of future
taxable income against which the deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards can be utilised. The Group has exercised judgement
in determining the jurisdictions in which deferred tax assets have not been fully recognised. This has been done based on forecast profitability and
historical results of the companies in which the deferred tax assets arise. Refer to note 15 for further information.

Estimates and assumptions

The areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are as described below. The estimates and associated assumptions
are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ
from these estimates. Significant estimates are those that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities within the next year.

Significant estimates

Impairment of intangible and tangible fixed assets: The Group has intangible assets with indefinite lives and therefore tests annually whether intangible
and tangible fixed assets have suffered any impairment. Refer to note 20 for further information on the key assumptions and sensitivities used in the
testing of these assets for impairment.

Retirement benefit obligation: The present value of the post-employment benefit obligations depends on a number of factors and assumptions, including
discount rate, inflation and mortality assumptions. Refer to note 34 for details of these assumptions and sensitivities.

The financial statements also include estimates that may materially affect carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the longer term. These are:

• Product warranties: refer to note 29 for further information.


• Depreciation (expected useful life): refer to note 19 for further information.

Cost recognition

Costs and expenses are recognised when incurred and are classified according to their nature.

Expenditures are capitalised, where appropriate, in accordance with the policy for internally generated intangible assets and represent employee costs
and other expenses incurred for product development undertaken by the Group.

Material and other cost of sales as reported in the consolidated income statement is presented net of the impact of realised foreign exchange relating
to derivatives hedging cost exposures.

Foreign currency

The Company has a functional currency of GBP. The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is GBP.

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction.
Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance
sheet date. Exchange differences are recognised in the consolidated income statement as “Foreign exchange (loss)/gain and fair value adjustments”.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 86
For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations (non-GBP functional currency)
are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the
period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

Impairment

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that any property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite
lives may be impaired. If any such impairment indicator exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment,
if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash
generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, or earlier if there is an
indication that the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of sale and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted
to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset (or cash generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or
cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.

An asset (or cash-generating unit) impaired in prior years is reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of a
reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years.

Litigation

Various legal proceedings, claims and governmental investigations are pending against the Group on a wide range of topics, including vehicle safety,
defective components, systems or general design defects, emissions and fuel economy, competition, alleged violations of law, labour, dealer, supplier and
other contractual relationships, intellectual property rights, product warranties and environmental matters. These proceedings seek recoveries including
for damage to property, breach of emissions regulations, misrepresentation, breach of collateral warranty and/or statutory guarantee, personal injuries
or wrongful death and in some cases include a claim for exemplary or punitive damages. Adverse decisions in one or more of these proceedings could
require the Group to pay substantial damages, or undertake service actions, recall campaigns or other costly actions.

Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance. Moreover, the cases and claims
against the Group are often derived from complex legal issues that are subject to differing degrees of uncertainty. A provision is established in connection
with pending or threatened litigation if it is probable there would be an outflow of funds and when the amount can be reasonably estimated. Since these
provisions represent estimates, the resolution of some of these matters could require the Group to make payments in excess of the amounts accrued or
may require the Group to make payments in an amount or range of amounts that could not be reasonably estimated.

The Group monitors the status of pending legal proceedings and consults with experts on legal and tax matters on a regular basis. As such, the provisions
for the Group’s legal proceedings and litigation may vary as a result of future developments in pending matters.

Further details on principal risks have been disclosed on page 46.

3 A LT E R N A T I V E P E R F O R M A N C E M E A S U R E S

In reporting financial information, the Group presents alternative performance measures (“APMs”) that 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

Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit before: income tax expense; exceptional items; finance
expense (net of capitalised interest) and finance income; gains/losses on debt and unrealised
derivatives, realised derivatives entered into for the purpose of hedging debt, and equity or debt
investments held at fair value; foreign exchange gains/losses on other assets and liabilities,
including short-term deposits and cash and cash equivalents; share of profit/loss from equity
accounted investments; depreciation and amortisation.
Adjusted EBIT Adjusted EBIT is defined as for adjusted EBITDA but including share of profit/loss from equity
accounted investments, depreciation and amortisation.
Profit/(loss) before tax and Profit/(loss) before tax excluding exceptional items.
exceptional items
Free cash flow Net cash generated from operating activities less net cash used in automotive investing
activities, excluding investments in joint ventures, associate and subsidiaries and movements in
financial investments, and after finance expenses and fees paid. Financial investments are those
reported as cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and other investments, and equity or
debt investments held at fair value.
Total product and other investment Cash used in the purchase of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, investments in
equity accounted investments and other trading investments, acquisition of subsidiaries and
expensed research and development costs.
Working capital Changes in assets and liabilities as presented in note 40 under cash flow from operating
activities before changes in assets and liabilities. 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 adjusted EBIT or adjusted EBITDA.
Total cash and cash equivalents, deposits and Defined as cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and other investments, marketable
investments securities and any other items defined as cash and cash equivalents in accordance with IFRS.
Available liquidity Defined as total cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments plus committed undrawn
credit facilities.
Net debt Total cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments less total interest-bearing loans and
borrowings.
Retail sales Jaguar Land Rover retail sales represent vehicle sales made by dealers to end clients and include
the sale of vehicles produced by our Chinese joint venture, Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive
Company Ltd.
Wholesales Wholesales represent vehicle sales made to retailers or other external clients. The Group
recognises revenue on wholesales.

The Group uses adjusted 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 adjusted 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 held, unrealised foreign exchange can distort
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.

During the year ended 31 March 2023, the definition of ‘Free cash flow’ was amended to exclude investments in associates, joint ventures and subsidiaries.
The Group considers the amended Free cash flow measure to be more useful as it provides a clearer view of recurring cash flows that is not distorted by
the impact of one-off transactions. Free cash flow for years ended 31 March 2022 and 2021 prior to the change was £(1,156) million and £185 million
respectively.

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.

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.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 89
Total cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments and available liquidity are measures used by the Group to assess liquidity and the availability
of funds for future spend and investment.

Exceptional items are defined in note 4.

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

5 REVENUE

Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the consideration earned by the Group in respect of the output of its ordinary activities. It is measured based on the contract price,
which is the consideration specified in the contract with the customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, and net of settlement
discounts, bonuses, rebates and sales incentives. The Group’s primary clients from the sale of vehicles, parts and accessories are retailers, fleet and
corporate clients, and other third-party distributors. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a good or service to a customer, thus
evidencing the satisfaction of the associated performance obligation under that contract.

As described in note 39, the Group operates with a single automotive reporting segment, principally generating revenue from the sales of vehicles, parts
and accessories.

The sale of vehicles also can include additional services provided to the customer at the point of sale, for which the vehicle and services are accounted
for as separate performance obligations, as they are considered separately identifiable. The contract transaction price is allocated among the identified
performance obligations based on their stand-alone selling prices. Where the stand-alone selling price is not readily observable, it is estimated using an
appropriate alternative approach.

Significant
Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms
revenue areas

Vehicles, parts, and The Group recognises revenue on the sale of vehicles, parts and accessories at the point of “wholesale”, which is
accessories (and other determined by the underlying terms and conditions of the contract with the customer as to when control transfers to
goods) them. The principle of control under IFRS 15 considers which party has the ability to direct the use of an asset and to
obtain substantially all of the remaining economic benefits.

Determining the transfer of control with regards to the sale of goods is primarily driven by:

• The point at which the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer;
• The point at which the customer takes physical possession of the good or product;
• The point at which the customer accepts the good or product;
• The point at which the Group has a present right to payment for the sale of the good or product; and
• The point at which legal title to the good or product transfers to the customer.

In the vast majority of cases, the sale of the relevant good is recognised at the point of dispatch (at release to the
carrier responsible for transportation to the customer) or the point of delivery to the customer, depending on individual
contractual arrangements.

In some instances, revenue may be recognised on a bill-and-hold basis where vehicles, for example, are sold to
the customer but are retained in the Group’s possession at a vehicle holding compound on behalf of the customer
ahead of being physically transferred to them at a future time. Such arrangements meet the criteria for bill-and-hold
arrangements under IFRS 15 to ensure that the customer has obtained the ultimate control of the product when
revenue is recognised.

The reason for the bill-and-hold is substantive (as the customer requests JLR to retain possession, usually due to a lack
of available space at their own premises), the vehicles are identifiable as separately belonging to the customer (on the
basis that each vehicle has a unique Vehicle Identification Number), the vehicle must be ready for physical transfer to the
customer (which it is, given that it is fully built and safety-checked off the manufacturing line) and the Group does not
have the ability to use the vehicle or direct it elsewhere.

The Group operates with financing partners across the world that provide wholesale financing arrangements to the retail
network for vehicle sales, which enables cash settlement to occur immediately (usually within two working days) for
purchases from the Group.

For the sale of parts and accessories, the Group typically receives payment in line with the invoice payment terms
stipulated and agreed with its clients, which are usually 30 days.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 93
Significant
Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms
revenue areas
Sales incentives The costs associated with providing sales support and incentives (variable marketing expense) are considered to be
variable components of consideration, thus reducing the amount of revenue recognised by the Group.

Under IFRS 15, the Group ensures that variable consideration is recognised to the extent of the amount to which it
expects to be entitled.

To meet this principle, the Group constrains its estimate of variable consideration to include amounts only to the extent
that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when
the associated uncertainty associated is subsequently resolved.

The Group estimates the expected sales incentive by market and considers uncertainties including competitor pricing,
ageing of dealer stock and local market conditions. The constraint on variable consideration is estimated with reference
to historical accuracy, current market conditions and a prospective assessment considering relevant geopolitical factors,
including global stock positions for both the Group and its third party dealer network reflecting the pipeline of vehicle
inventory for sale to end clients.

Variable consideration received for contracts with multiple performance obligations is allocated to all such obligations
only when applicable. For example, with the sale of a vehicle, the cost of the incentive provided is allocated entirely to
the vehicle as its purpose is to incentivise the sale of the vehicle rather than support any additional obligations.

Liabilities in relation to sales incentives are disclosed within liabilities for expenses in note 26.
Scheduled Scheduled maintenance contracts sold with a vehicle provide the end customer with the benefit of bringing their vehicle
maintenance to a dealership for the routine maintenance required to maintain compliance for warranty purposes.
contracts
The majority of plans sold by the Group are complimentary with the vehicle, thus payment is received at the same time
as the proceeds from the vehicle sale, at which point the amount is recognised as a contract liability based on the stand-
alone selling price, which is measured using a cost-plus approach.

Revenue is recognised over the life of the plan based on the expected performance of the services from the point of a
vehicle being retailed to an end customer and aligned to the expected profile of costs to fulfil those services based on
historical information.
Telematics Telematics features provide a service to the customer typically aligned to the warranty period of the vehicle, allowing a
vehicle to connect and interact with an end customer’s mobile phone.

The Group typically receives payment relating to telematics features at the same time as the proceeds from the vehicle
sale, at which point the amount is recognised as a contract liability based on the stand-alone selling price. For optional
features, this is measured at the observable option price and for standard-fit features is measured using a cost-plus
basis. The stand-alone selling price for telematics subscription renewals is measured at the renewal price offered to the
customer.

Revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the service from the point of the vehicle being retailed to
an end customer in line with the expected costs to fulfil those services.
Warranty Vehicles and parts sold by the Group include a standard warranty to guarantee the vehicle complies with agreed-upon
considerations specifications for a defined period of time. Where the warranty offering to the end customer exceeds the standard
as a service market expectation for similar products, or provides a service in excess of the assurance that the agreed-upon
specification is met, the Group considers this to constitute a service to the end customer and therefore a separate
performance obligation. Revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the contractual period to which the warranty
service relates, up to which point it is recognised as a contract liability.
Repurchase Some contracts with clients include an option or obligation for the Group to repurchase the product sold (including
arrangements repurchasing a product originally sold as part of an amended product). Such instances are common in the Group’s
arrangements with third-party fleet clients or in contract manufacturing arrangements that the Group is party to.

The Group does not recognise revenue on the original sale, as it retains ultimate control of that product. The related
inventory continues to be recognised on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet. The consideration received from the
customer is treated as a liability.

Where the contractual repurchase price is less than the original sale price, the transaction is accounted for as a lease and
where the contractual repurchase price is more than or equal to the original sale price the transaction is accounted for
as a financing arrangement. Revenue recognised under such lease arrangements is outside of the scope of IFRS 15 and
instead is recognised in line with IFRS 16 Leases.

Revenue relating to the good or product is recognised only when it is sold by the Group with no repurchase obligation or
option attached.
Returns Vehicle sales do not typically include allowances for returns or refunds, although in some markets there is legislative
obligations, requirement for Jaguar Land Rover as an automotive manufacturer to repurchase or reacquire a vehicle if quality issues
refunds and arise that have been remedied a number of times and where the owner no longer wishes to own the vehicle as a result.
similar
obligations Regarding other goods, where rights of return may be prevalent, the Group estimates the level of returns based on
the historical data for specific products, adjusted as necessary to estimate returns for new products. Revenue is not
recognised for expected returns - instead the Group recognises a refund liability and asset where required.

Ongoing service obligations 779 681 766
Liabilities for advances received 51 122 61
Total contract liabilities 830 803 827

“Ongoing service obligations” mainly relate to long-term service and maintenance contracts, extended warranties and telematics services. “Liabilities
for advances received” primarily relate to consideration received in advance from clients for products not yet wholesaled, at which point the revenue
will be recognised. “Ongoing service obligations” and “Liabilities for advances received” are both presented within “Other liabilities” in the consolidated
balance sheet.

The Group applies the practical expedient in IFRS 15.121 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have an
original expected duration of one year or less. This is because revenue resulting from those sales will be recognised in a short-term period. The services
included with the vehicle sale are to be recognised as revenues in subsequent years but represent an insignificant portion of expected revenues in
comparison.

Revenue that is expected to be recognised within five years related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) amounted
to £830 million at 31 March 2023 (2022: £803 million, 2021: £827 million).

The movement in contract liabilities relates solely to revenue recognised from balances held at the beginning of the year of £440 million (2022: £385
million, 2021: £364 million) and increases due to cash received for performance obligations unsatisfied at the year end of £467 million (2022: £361
million, 2021: £295 million).

Revenue recognised in the year from performance obligations satisified in the previous year is £5 million (2022: £13 million, 2021: £100 million).

9 OTHER INCOME

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the relevant conditions and the grant will be
received.

Government grants are recognised in the consolidated income statement, either on a systematic basis when the Group recognises, as expenses, the
related costs that the grants are intended to compensate or immediately, if the costs have already been incurred.

Government grants related to specific assets or costs that are capitalised into property plant and equipment or intangible assets are deducted from the
cost of the asset and amortised over the useful life of the asset. Government grants related to income are presented as an offset against the related
expenditure except in cases where there are no ongoing performance obligations to the Group, in which case the government grant is recognised as
other income in the period in which the Group becomes entitled to the grant. The terms and treatment of each grant is assessed on a case by case basis.
Details of the treatment of significant grants in the year are disclosed in note 9 and note 11.

Sales tax incentives received from governments are recognised in the consolidated income statement at the reduced tax rate, and revenue is reported
net of these sales tax incentives.

an incentive for continuing trading in that country for the foreseeable future. This includes amounts received as cash in the year and amounts that the
subsidiary is due to receive and for which there are no ongoing financial or operating conditions attached.

15 TA X AT I O N

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred taxes. Income tax expense is recognised in the consolidated income statement, except when
related to items that are recognised outside of profit or loss (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in equity) or where related to the initial
accounting for a business combination. In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
Current income taxes are determined based on the respective taxable income of each taxable entity and tax rules applicable for respective tax
jurisdictions.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases, and unutilised tax losses, depreciation carry-forwards and tax credits. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are
computed separately for each taxable entity and for each taxable jurisdiction. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that
future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses, depreciation carry-forwards and unused
tax credits could be utilised. The future profitability is based on the business plan for each respective entity within the Group. The carrying amount
of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be
available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is
settled, based on the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 100
Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities
and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net
basis.

The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability that future taxable income will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards can be utilised.

Tax provisions are recognised for uncertain tax positions where a risk of an additional tax liability has been identified and it is probable that the Group
will be required to settle that tax. Measurement is dependent on management’s expectations of the outcome of decisions by tax authorities in the
various tax jurisdictions in which the Group operates. This is assessed on a case-by-case basis using in-house experts, professional firms and previous
experience. Where no provision is required the exposure is disclosed as a contingent liability in note 35 unless the likelihood of an outflow of economic
benefits is remote.

Judgement is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic limits or uncertainties in various tax jurisdictions.

The net underlying statutory tax rate represents the blended average of the tax rates suffered on profits and losses earned in our various countries of
operation. The current position reflects the fact that statutory tax rates applicable in profitable non-UK subsidiaries are higher than the UK tax rate
applied to UK losses.

Included within “Unrecognised or written-down deferred tax assets” for the year ended 31 March 2023 is a charge of £34 million as a result of the
inability to fully recognise UK deferred tax assets arising in the year. The “Under provided in prior years” charge of £20 million arises as a result of the
finalisation of prior year tax submissions with global tax authorities and the conclusion of certain tax risks.

Included within “Unrecognised or written-down deferred tax assets” for the year ended 31 March 2022 is a charge of £331 million as a result of the
inability to fully recognise UK deferred tax assets arising in the year. The “Over provided in prior years” credit of £8 million arises as a result of the
finalisation of prior year tax submissions with global tax authorities and the conclusion of certain tax risks.

Included within “Non-deductible expenses” for the year ended 31 March 2021 is a charge of £45 million relating to the accounting write-down of assets
not qualifying for tax relief. The charge of £285 million in relation to “Unrecognised or written-down deferred tax assets” arises as a result of the inability
to fully recognise UK deferred tax assets arising in the year. The “Over provided in prior years” credit of £10 million arises as a result of the finalisation of
prior year tax submissions with global tax authorities.

Impact of Future Rate Changes


Since 1 April 2020, the UK corporation tax rate applicable has been at 19 per cent. A change to the main UK corporation tax rate from 19 to 25 percent
with effect from 1 April 2023 was announced in the Budget on 3 March 2021, and was substantively enacted on 24 May 2021. Accordingly, UK deferred
tax has been provided at a rate of 25 per cent on assets (2022: 25 per cent, 2021: 19 per cent) and 25 per cent on liabilities (2022: 25 per cent, 2021:
19 per cent), recognising the applicable tax rate at the point when the timing difference is expected to reverse.

At 31 March 2023, deferred tax assets of £357 million (2022: £336 million, 2021: £397 million) have been recognised in relation to deductible temporary
differences, including unused tax losses, on the basis that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deductible
temporary differences can be utilised.

At 31 March 2023 the group had unused tax losses and other temporary differences amounting to £5,442 million (2022: £3,746 million, 2021: £2,693
million) for which no deferred tax asset had been recognised on the basis of either forecast profitability, or significant cumulative tax losses to date, in
those companies in which the deferred tax assets arise. These tax losses are due to expire as follows:

16 INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY ACCOUNTED INVESTEES

An interest in an associate or joint venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date the investee becomes an associate or a joint venture
and is recognised initially at cost. The carrying value of investments in associates and joint ventures includes goodwill identified on date of acquisition,
net of any accumulated impairment losses. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of profits or losses, other comprehensive
income and equity movements of equity accounted investments, from the date that joint control or significant influence commences until the date
that joint control or significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investment, the carrying
amount of that interest (including any long-term interests in the nature of net investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is
discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred constructive or legal obligations or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

When the Group transacts with a joint venture or associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in its joint
venture or associate.

Dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

Impairment of equity accounted investments


The requirements of IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint ventures are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment
loss with respect to the Group’s investment in a joint venture or an associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including
goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (the higher
of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the
investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment
subsequently increases.

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any. Land
is not depreciated.

Cost includes purchase price, non-recoverable taxes and duties, labour cost and direct overheads for self-constructed assets and other direct costs
incurred up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use.

Interest cost incurred for constructed assets is capitalised up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use, based on borrowings incurred specifically
for financing the asset or the weighted average rate of all other borrowings, if no specific borrowings have been incurred for the asset.

Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Class of property, plant and equipment Estimated useful life (years)


Buildings 10 to 40
Plant and equipment 3 to 30
Vehicles 3 to 10
IT equipment 3 to 10
Fixtures and fittings 3 to 20

The depreciation period for property, plant and equipment with finite useful lives is reviewed at least at each year end. Changes in expected useful lives
are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

Assets held under leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant
lease. Freehold land is measured at cost and is not depreciated. Residual values are reassessed on an annual basis.

Depreciation is not recorded on assets under construction until construction and installation are complete and the asset is ready for its intended use.
Assets under construction include capital advances. Depreciation is not recorded on heritage assets as the Group considers their residual value to
approximate their cost.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when it is withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected
from its disposal. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition is included in profit or loss.

An annual review of the carrying value of heritage assets is performed as the assets are held at cost and not depreciated. Any write-down in the carrying
value of heritage assets is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.

Intangible assets purchased, including those acquired in business combinations, are measured at acquisition cost, which is the fair value on the date of
acquisition, where applicable, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment, if any. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed
annually to determine whether an indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite
to finite is made on a prospective basis. For intangible assets with finite lives, amortisation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the intangible assets as per the estimated amortisation periods below:

Class of intangible asset Estimated amortisation period (years)


Software 2 to 8
Patents and technological know-how 2 to 12
Customer related – retailer network 20
Intellectual property rights and other intangibles 3 to indefinite

The amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful lives is reviewed at least at each year end. Changes in expected useful lives are treated as
changes in accounting estimates.

Capital work-in-progress includes capital advances. Customer-related intangibles acquired in a business combination consist of dealer networks.
Intellectual property rights and other intangibles mainly consist of brand names, which are considered to have indefinite lives due to the longevity of the
brands.

Internally generated intangible assets


Research costs are charged to the consolidated income statement in the year in which they are incurred.

Product engineering costs incurred on new vehicle platforms, engines, transmission and new products are recognised as intangible assets – when
feasibility has been established, the Group has committed technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and it is probable that
the asset will generate future economic benefits. The costs capitalised include the cost of materials, direct labour and directly attributable overhead
expenditure incurred up to the date the asset is available for use. Interest cost incurred is capitalised up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use,
based on borrowings incurred specifically for financing the asset or the weighted average rate of all other borrowings, if no specific borrowings have been
incurred for the asset. Product engineering cost is amortised over the life of the related product, being a period of between two and ten years. Capitalised
development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Amortisation is not recorded on
product engineering in progress until development is complete.

The Group undertakes significant levels of research and development activity, and for each vehicle programme a periodic review is undertaken. The
Group applies judgement in determining at what point in a vehicle programme’s life cycle the recognition criteria under IAS 38 are satisfied. If a later point
had been used then this would have had the impact of reducing the amounts capitalised as product engineering costs.

The Group applies judgement in determining the proportion of central overhead allocated within development costs that are capitalised.

Reimagine related write-down expense was recognised in ‘exceptional items’ in the consolidated income statement.

During the year ended 31 March 2023, central overheads of £77 million (2022: £52 million, 2021: £80 million) have been capitalised within product
development - in progress.

Impairment testing
In accordance with prevailing accounting standards, management have performed an annual impairment assessment as at 31 January 2023, using the
value in use (“VIU”) approach to determine the recoverable value of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”). The date of the assessment was changed from
that of the prior year (31 March) to better align with the business plan cycle. A subsequent assessment has been performed to the year-end date which
has determined that there have been no events or changes in circumstances which would have changed the outcome of the assessment performed as
at 31 January.

The directors are of the view that the operations of the Group, excluding equity accounted investments, represent a single CGU. This is because the
degree of integrated development and manufacturing activities is such that no one group of assets has been determined to generate cash inflows that
are independent of any other.

The impairment assessment determined that the CGU recoverable value exceeded the carrying amount by £1.5 billion (2022: £0.6 billion, 2021: £2.7
billion) and therefore no impairment was identified. The increase in headroom has largely been driven by the improved performance experienced in
the latter part of the year. It was further determined that this increase did not require the reversal of the previously recorded impairment loss as the
underlying drivers for the increased headroom do not support a reversal, after considering the unwind of the discount rate and the impact of depreciation
and amortisation of impaired assets.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 111
The Group has considered it appropriate to undertake the impairment assessment with reference to the Group approved business plan that was in effect
as at the assessment date. The business plan includes a five-year cash flow forecast and contains growth rates that are primarily a function of the Group’s
Cycle Plan assumptions, historical performance and management’s expectation of future market developments through to 2027/28.

In estimating the future cash flows management have given due consideration to the inherent uncertainty of forecast information and have adjusted some
of the assumptions in the business plan to take into account possible variations in the amount or timing of the cashflows. In doing so, management has
incorporated the following risks into the VIU, as well as other risks outlined on pages 46 to 49, that may impact future cashflows:

• execution risks associated with our ‘Reimagine’ strategy and the transition to electrified powertrain, with the supporting transformation plan ‘Refocus
2.0’, detailed on pages 23 to 43, which includes a dedicated environmental sustainability strategy – ‘Planet Regenerate’;
• near-term supply chain challenges related to global chip shortages which has continued to impact the Group in FY23; and
• economical and geopolitical factors increasing inflationary pressures, driving up material costs in particular.

Climate risk
The Group recognises that the potential impact of climate risk to areas such as supply chain, operations, and material and compliance costs may result in
variations to the timing and amounts of future cash flows. As such climate risk is incorporated into the development of our forecast cash flows in the VIU
by reference to our climate change risk assessment. These risks are principally reflected by the risk adjustments related to the variable profit and volumes
which would be most affected by climate change events, for example, scarcity of certain commodities driving up costs and therefore adversely impacting
variable profit. Further details on our approach to sustainability are included in the Strategic Report on pages 23 to 43.

Key assumptions
The assessment of impairment is based on forecasts of future cashflows which are inherently uncertain and are developed using informed assumptions
such as historical trends and market information. The directors consider the key assumptions that impact the value in use are those to which:

(i) the recoverable amount is most sensitive;


(ii) involve a significant amount of judgement and estimation; and
(ii) drive significant changes to the recoverable amount when flexed under reasonably possible outcomes.

The directors’ approach and key assumptions used to determine the Group’s CGU VIU were as follows:

• Variable profit per unit and volumes – The approach to determining the forecast variable profit per unit and volumes is based on consideration of
historical performance, the order bank, profit optimisation efforts and Group Cycle Plan assumptions, along with the impact of risks on future cashflows
discussed above. A small change in either assumption may have a significant impact to future cashflows and for this reason, as well as the impact of
risks associated with supply and inflationary pressures on variable profit and volumes, the directors consider variable profit per unit and volumes to
be key assumptions. Further, the variable profit per unit and volumes included in the business plan are largely driven by an updated portfolio, which
includes estimates and judgements related to the transition to electrified powertrain, including the introduction of new Jaguar.

• Terminal value capital expenditure – the 5-year cash flows timing and amount are based on the latest Cycle Plan. The terminal value is based on the
best estimate of a maintenance level of capital expenditure which has been derived from depreciation and amortisation expectations and funding
requirements in response to longer-term industry trends and risks informed by those listed above and increases in execution risks in particular, which
are anticipated in the VIU calculation. Due to the judgement and estimation involved in the calculation of terminal value capital expenditure, as well as
the sensitivity of the recoverable amount to any change in the value, the directors consider this to be a key assumption.

• Discount rate – the approach to determining the discount rate is based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model and a market participant after tax cost of
debt. These inputs are based on a typical build up approach, calculated using country specific premiums without size premium and with an unlevered
equity Beta with reference to industry peers. The increase in the year has mainly been driven by increases in the equity risk premium. The discount rate
is regarded as a key assumption as it is the rate which drives the discounted cashflows used to determine the VIU of the CGU primarily due to the level
of judgement and estimation involved and the sensitivity of the recoverable amount to small changes in the percentage.

The VIU assessment is sensitive to certain assumptions, such as Sales, General & Administration (“SG&A”) costs, due to the relative total value but that
involve limited judgement and estimation, and significant changes are not considered reasonably possible, and therefore are not considered to be key
assumptions. Similarly, certain assumptions which involve greater judgement and estimation, such as growth rate of 1.7% (2022: 1.7%, 2021: 1.9%), but
for which even relatively significant changes have a limited impact on the assessment are not regarded as key assumptions.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 112
The value of key assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount are as follows, presented as a % of Gross Vehicle Revenues (“GVR”) to demonstrate
the relative value to the assessment where noted:

As at 31 January 2023 31 March 2022 31 March 2021


Forecast period (Yr1-5) variable profit* (%GVR) 24.9% 24.4% 24.0%
Terminal value variable profit* (%GVR) 23.2% 24.8% 21.4%
Terminal value capital expenditure (%GVR) 8.1% 10.0% 8.9%
Pre-tax discount rate 15.6% 13.4% 13.6%

*Based on forecast variable profit per unit and volumes.

Sensitivity to reasonably possible changes to key assumptions


Given the inherent uncertainty about the timing and amount of any change in key assumptions, as well as the significant portion of the recoverable
amount related to the VIU terminal value, management consider a net impact on terminal period cash flows to be the best means of indicating the
sensitivity of key assumptions.

Management considers the variable profit and volumes assumptions to be interdependent as movement in one assumption will impact the other,
impacting the overall variable profit. For example, the profit optimisation efforts discussed above will likely result in higher average variable profit per unit
with lower volumes whereas a focus on volumes would likely see a reduction in the average variable profit per unit. Consequently, the terminal value
variable profit sensitivity below incorporates sensitivity in volumes via the impact on variable profit.

The table below shows the amount by which the value assigned to the key assumptions must change for the recoverable amount of the CGU to be equal
to its carrying amount:

As at 31 January 2023 31 March 2022 31 March 2021


% Change % Change % Change
Forecast period (Yr1-5) variable profit (6.0)% (3.1)% (12.7)%
Terminal value variable profit (5.5)% (2.1)% (10.1)%
Terminal value capital expenditures 17.5% 5.8% 24.4%
Pre-tax discount rate 31.4% 8.7% 39.2%

In each of the four scenarios above, the sensitivity has been performed in isolation with all other assumptions remaining constant. The prior year
comparatives have been restated to reflect the amount by which the pre-tax values (previously post-tax) of the assumptions would need to change for
the recoverable amount to be equal to the CGU.

24 INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of raw materials and consumables are ascertained on a first-in, first-out basis.
Costs, including fixed and variable production overheads, are allocated to work-in-progress and finished goods, determined on a full absorption cost
basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated cost of completion and selling expenses.

Inventories include vehicles sold subject to repurchase arrangements. These vehicles are carried at cost to the Group and are amortised in changes in
stocks and work-in-progress to their residual values (i.e. estimated second-hand sale value) over the term of the arrangement.

Inventories of finished goods include £402 million (2022: £361 million, 2021: £406 million) relating to vehicles sold to rental car companies, fleet clients
and others with guaranteed repurchase arrangements.

Cost of inventories (comprising the cost of purchased products and the costs of conversion) recognised as an expense during the year amounted to
£15,421 million (2022: £12,499 million, 2021: £13,917 million), including material and other cost of sales, employee costs, depreciation and production
overheads recognised within other expenses.

During the year, the Group recorded an inventory write-down expense of £75 million (2022: £11 million, 2021: £16 million). The write-down is included
in “Material and other cost of sales”.

Inventories pledged as collateral against borrowings are disclosed in note 27.

25 ASSETS CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE

Assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, if the assets
are available for immediate sale in their present condition and if the sale is highly probable. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets
are measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Once classified as held for sale, the assets are measured at the lower of their carrying
amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any write-downs on initial classification or subsequent remeasurement are recognised in the consolidated
income statement. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment losses.

As at 31 March 2023, assets classified as held for sale comprise of the following:

29 PROVISIONS

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. When the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions
are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the liability.

Product warranty provision
The Group provides product warranties on all new vehicle sales in respect of manufacturing defects, which become apparent in the stipulated policy
period dependent on the market in which the vehicle purchase occurred. The estimated liability for product warranty is recognised when products are
sold or when new warranty programmes are initiated.

Provisions are recognised for the costs of repairing manufacturing defects, recall campaigns, customer goodwill (representing the Group’s constructive
obligation to its clients when managing those warranty claims) and the Group’s other obligations under the warranty.

Assumptions are made on the type and extent of future warranty claims based on experience of the frequency and extent of vehicle faults and defects
historically. The estimates also include assumptions on the amounts of potential repair costs per vehicle and the effects of possible time or mileage limits
and are regularly adjusted to reflect new information. The timing of outflows will vary as and when a warranty claim will arise.

The Group’s calculation methodology uses historical data corrected for experience as information becomes available as well as individual campaign
assumptions (such as scope, uptake rates and repair costs). This can lead to changes in the carrying value of provisions as assumptions are updated over
the life of each warranty; however there are no individual assumptions that can be reasonably expected to move over the next financial year to such a
degree that it would result in a material adjustment to the warranty provision.

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 Group also has back-to-back contractual arrangements with its suppliers in the event that a vehicle fault is proven to be a supplier’s fault. Estimates
are made of the expected reimbursement claims based upon historical levels of recoveries by supplier, adjusted for inflation and applied to the population
of vehicles under warranty at the balance sheet date. Supplier reimbursement claims are presented as separate assets within “Other financial assets”
in note 18. Supplier recoveries are recognised only when the Group considers there to be virtual certainty over the reimbursement, which also requires
historical evidence to support.

The Group notes that changes in the automotive environment regarding the increasing impact of battery electric vehicles presents its own significant
challenges, particularly due to the lack of maturity and historical data available at this time to help inform estimates for future warranty claims, as well as
any associated recoveries from suppliers due to such claims. The Group offers warranties of up to eight years on batteries in electric vehicles. The related
provisions are made with the Group’s best estimate at this time to settle such obligations in the future, but will be required to be continually refined as
sufficient, real-world data becomes available.

Restructuring provision
The restructuring provision includes amounts for third party obligations arising from Group restructuring programmes. This includes amounts payable
to employees following the announcement of the Group’s Reimagine strategy in the year ending 31 March 2021 as well as other Group restructuring
programmes. Amounts are also included in relation to legal and constructive obligations made to third parties in connection with cancellations under the
Group’s Reimagine strategy.

The estimated liability for restructuring activities is recognised when the Group has reason to believe there is a legal or constructive obligation arising
from restructuring actions taken.

The amount provided at the reporting date is calculated based on currently available facts and certain estimates for those obligations (see note 4,
Exceptional items). These estimates are established using historical experience based on the settlement costs for similar liabilities, with proxies being
used where no direct comparison exists.

The amounts and timing of outflows will vary as and when restructuring obligations are progressed with third parties.

Third party claims and obligations


A provision is maintained in respect of legal and constructive obligations to third parties. This includes claims and obligations related to supplier claims,
motor accident claims, consumer complaints, retailer terminations, employment cases and personal injury claims. The increase in the year is driven
mainly by supplier claims related to the significant inflation experienced during the period as well as lower than expected volumes.

The provision recognised is based on previous experience, which is considered as a reasonable assumption to estimate the final settlement, if any, at the
time of the claim. The timing and amount of outflows will vary with decreasing uncertainty from the point at which each claim is received to when it is
subsequently settled.

Emissions compliance
The Group maintains a provision for non compliance with legal emissions requirements for certain jurisdictions. The measurement of the provision
considers the sales volume in that jurisdiction and the fee or cost per the applicable legislation. The Group aims to mitigate non-compliance risk by
purchasing emission credits, participating in emission pools or, subject to the terms of the relevant legislation, generating credits by producing and
selling compliant vehicles in the future. The measurement of the provision at the balance sheet date does not include the impact of credits forecast to
be generated in the future via the production and sale of compliant vehicles.

The timing of outflows will vary and is not known with certainty.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 119
Other provisions
Other provisions predominantly include the environmental liability and residual risk provisions. The timing of outflows will vary and is not known with
certainty.

Translation Reserve
The translation reserve comprises foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of operations with a function
currency other than GBP.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 121
Hedging Reserve
The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of hedging instruments used in cash flow hedges
pending subsequent recognition in profit or loss or directly included in the initial cost or other carrying amount of a non-financial asset or non-financial
liability.

Cost of Hedging Reserve


The cost of hedging reserve reflects gain or loss on the portion excluded from the designated hedging instrument that relates to the forward element of
forward contracts. It is initially recognised in other comprehensive income and accounted for similarly to gains or losses in the hedging reserve.

33 DIVIDENDS

During the year ended 31 March 2023 no ordinary share dividends were proposed or paid (2022, 2021: £nil).

34 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Pension Schemes
The Group operates several defined benefit (‘DB’) pension plans; these include two large and one smaller defined benefit plan in the UK. The UK DB plans
are administered by a separate trustee and the assets of the plans are generally held in separate funds selected and overseen by the trustee. These plans
were contracted out of the state second pension (S2P) scheme until 5 April 2016. The plans provide benefits for members including a monthly pension
after retirement based on salary and service as set out in the rules of each plan.

Contributions to the plans by the Group take into consideration the results of actuarial valuations. The UK defined benefit plans were closed to new
joiners in April 2010. The Group also operates a number of small benefit arrangements worldwide (the liabilities for these amount to around 0.6% of the
Group total).

For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial updates being carried out
at the end of each reporting period.

Defined benefit costs are split into four categories:

• Current service cost, past service cost and gains and losses on curtailments and settlements;
• Net interest cost;
• Administrative expenses; and
• Remeasurements.

Remeasurement comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) is recognised
immediately in the consolidated balance sheet with a charge or credit to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period in which
they occur. Remeasurement recorded in the statement of comprehensive income is not recycled to profit or loss.

Past service cost, including curtailment gains and losses, is generally recognised in profit or loss in the period of plan amendment. Net interest is calculated
by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability, adjusted for expected cashflows during the period. From
the year ended 31 March 2020, at the point a past service cost is incurred, re-measurement of the income statement cost is considered and will be re-
calculated if there is a material change.

The Group presents these defined benefit costs within “Employee costs” in the consolidated income statement (see note 7).

Separate defined contribution plans are available to all other employees of the Group. Costs in respect of these plans are charged to the consolidated
income statement as incurred.

Post-retirement Medicare scheme


Under these unfunded schemes, employees of some subsidiaries receive medical benefits subject to certain limits of amount, periods after retirement
and types of benefits, depending on their grade and location at the time of retirement. Employees separated from the Group as part of an early separation
scheme, on medical grounds or due to permanent disablement, may also be covered under the scheme. The applicable subsidiaries (and therefore, the
Group) account for the liability for the post-retirement medical scheme based on an annual actuarial valuation where appropriate.

Actuarial gains and losses


Actuarial gains and losses relating to retirement benefit plans are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year in
which they arise.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 122
Measurement date
The measurement date of all retirement plans is 31 March.

The trustee of the pension schemes is required by law to act in the interest of the members and of all relevant stakeholders in the schemes and is
responsible for the investment policy with regard to the assets of the schemes and all other governance matters. The board of the trustee must be
composed of representatives of the Group and scheme participants in accordance with each scheme’s regulations.

Through its defined benefit pension schemes, the Group is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below.

Asset volatility
The schemes’ liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to corporate bond yields; if the schemes’ assets underperform against
these corporate bonds, this will create or increase a deficit. The defined benefit schemes hold a significant proportion of equity-type assets, which are
expected to outperform corporate bonds in the long-term although introduce volatility and risk in the short-term.

The UK schemes hold a substantial level of index-linked gilts and other inflation and interest rate hedging instruments, together with other bond type
assets, in order to reduce the volatility of assets compared to the liability value, although these will lead to asset value volatility.

As the schemes mature, the Group intends to reduce the level of investment risk by investing more in assets for which expected income is a better
match for the expected benefit obligations.

However, the Group believes that due to the long-term nature of the schemes’ liabilities and the strength of the supporting group, a level of continuing
equity-type investments is currently an appropriate element of the Group’s long-term strategy to manage the schemes efficiently.

The Trustees and the Group are engaged in ongoing discussions to control the impact of climate risk on the schemes’ funding. The current diversified
asset profile of the UK plans should reduce exposure to climate risks.

Changes in bond yields


A decrease in corporate bond yields will increase the schemes’ liabilities, although this is expected to be partially offset by an increase in the value of the
schemes’ assets, specifically the bond holdings and interest rate hedging instruments.

Inflation risk
Some of the Group’s pension obligations are linked to inflation, and higher inflation will lead to higher liabilities (although, in most cases, caps on the level
of inflationary increases are in place to protect the schemes against high inflation). As noted above, the schemes hold a significant proportion of assets in
index-linked gilts, together with other inflation hedging instruments and also assets that are more closely correlated with inflation. However, an increase
in inflation may still create a deficit or increase an existing deficit to some degree.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 123
Impact of turbulence in UK Gilt market during 2022
During September 2022, following sustained increases in UK real gilt yields over the summer, the Group witnessed an unprecedented spike in both
nominal and real yields for UK Gilts together with a sharp fall in the value of sterling. This created knock on effects for the UK bond market.

Like most UK defined benefit plans, the JLR schemes use Gilts, Gilt repos and interest rate/inflation swaps to manage a portion of the interest rate and
inflation risk inherent in the funding arrangements for our schemes. Furthermore, a portion of sterling currency risk is hedged. Largely these hedging
instruments are held on a segregated basis providing greater transparency and control than pooled fund approaches to hedging.

Interest rate and inflation risks are hedged based on the Technical Provisions liability (ie lower than the Gilts flat or Buy-out liability) which is similar
in magniture to the accounting liability. Gilt & swap instruments are used to hedge non-pensioner liabilities. A cashflow matching policy applies for
pensioner liabilities which is largely implemented with bonds rather than Gilts. Furthermore, action was taken to reduce the hedge ratio for non-
pensioner liabilities early in July 2022. As a result, the magnitude of interest rate hedging using Gilt & swap instruments was moderated.

Nonetheless, the sharp increases in nominal and real yields, together with the fall in sterling, created a large liquidity requirement for our schemes. The
company and the Trustee worked together to agree appropriate actions to meet this requirement and also control the risk of further liquidity calls. We
are pleased that the agreed actions were sufficient to meet cash requirements without recourse to the Company for additional liquidity.

Changes in financial conditions over the year ended 31 March 2023 have resulted in large changes in the pension assets and liabilities reported for
accounting purposes. Higher bond yields reduced our balance sheet pension liabilities substantially, despite the increase to inflation expectations, as
most inflationary increases to benefits are capped. The full expectation for future inflationary increases under the rules of the schemes is recognised in
the defined benefits obligation, allowing for the caps in place. There are no discretionary increases planned and we do not make any allowance for these.
Whilst market values of assets also reduced due to lower values of hedging and bond assets, the net result was a temporary increase in the pension
surplus at that time.

The schemes remain in surplus on the accounting and the funding basis, therefore no additional cash requirements have been created by the Gilt market
turmoil. In fact, the expected cost of funding future benefit accrual has reduced materially.

UK Gilt and bond market conditions have stabilised over the subsequent months, although with higher long term Gilt yields (both nominal and real) and
higher nominal bond yields. The long term investment strategy remains consistent with prior years, although higher levels of liquidity are now held.

Life expectancy
The majority of the schemes’ obligations are to provide benefits for the life of the member, so increases in life expectancy will result in an increase in the
schemes’ liabilities. This is particularly significant in the UK defined benefit schemes, where inflationary increases result in higher sensitivity to changes in
life expectancy. While COVID-19 has had an impact on mortality in the period ended 31 March 2023, the long-term impact on future mortality trends
is currently unknown and consequently no adjustment has been made to mortality assumptions in this regard.

The most recent valuations of the defined benefit schemes for accounting purposes were carried out at 31 March 2023 by a qualified independent
actuary. For the UK schemes this is based on membership data as at 1 April 2022 for the JPP & LRPS and at 1 April 2021 for the smaller JEPP. The present
value of the defined benefit liability, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
The asset valuations are taken from the asset custodian for each scheme together with the balance of the Trustee bank accounts.

The principal assumptions used in accounting for the pension schemes are set out below:

As at 31 March 2023 2022 2021


Discount rate 4.8% 2.8% 2.1%
Expected rate of increase in benefit revaluation of

CPI inflation rate (capped at 5% p.a.) 2.5% - -
CPI inflation rate (capped at 2.5% p.a.) 1.7% 1.9% 1.8%

For the valuation at 31 March 2023, the mortality assumptions used are the Self-Administered Pension Schemes (‘SAPS’) mortality base table, S2PxA
tables (“Light” tables for members of the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan).
• For the Jaguar Pension Plan, scaling factors of 101 per cent to 115 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 103 per cent
to 118 per cent have been used for female members.
• For the Land Rover Pension Scheme, scaling factors of 105 per cent to 117 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 100
per cent to 116 per cent have been used for female members.
• For the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan, scaling factors of 93 per cent to 97 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 91 per
cent to 96 per cent have been used for female members.

For the valuation at 31 March 2022, the mortality assumptions used were the SAPS mortality base table, S2PxA tables (“Light” tables for members of
the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan).
• For the Jaguar Pension Plan, scaling factors of 101 per cent to 115 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 103 per cent
to 118 per cent have been used for female members.
• For the Land Rover Pension Scheme, scaling factors of 105 per cent to 117 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 100
per cent to 116 per cent have been used for female members.
• For the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan, scaling factors of 93 per cent to 97 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 91 per
cent to 96 per cent have been used for female members.

For the valuation at 31 March 2021, the mortality assumptions used were the SAPS mortality base table, S2PxA tables (“Light” tables for members of
the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan).
• For the Jaguar Pension Plan, scaling factors of 111 per cent to 117 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 101 per cent
to 112 per cent have been used for female members.
• For the Land Rover Pension Scheme, scaling factors of 107 per cent to 111 per cent have been used for male members and scaling factors of 101
per cent to 109 per cent have been used for female members.
• For the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan, an average scaling factor of 94 per cent has been used for male members and an average scaling factor of
84 per cent has been used for female members.

For the 2023 year end calculations there is an allowance for future improvements in line with the CMI (2021) projections and an allowance for long-term
improvements of 1.25 per cent per annum and a smoothing parameter of 7.5 (2022: CMI (2021) projections with 1.25 per cent per annum improvements
and a smoothing parameter of 7.5, 2021: CMI (2020) projections with 1.25 per cent per annum improvements and a smoothing parameter of 7.5).

A past service credit of £155 million has been recognised in the year ended 31 March 2023 in relation to a change in indexation for some benefits. It has
been agreed with the Trustees that the inflationary index for pension increases in payment and deferment will change from RPI to CPI with effect from
1 July 2022 for future increases for those members of the Schemes where this change was deemed appropriate. The P&L items have been remeasured
as at 30 June 2022 for the remainder of the period as required.

A past service cost of £9 million was recognised in the year ended 31 March 2021 following a further High Court ruling, published on 20 November 2020,
that provided clarification on the obligations of pension plan trustees to equalise past transfer values allowing for the effect of unequal Guaranteed
Minimum Pensions (‘GMP’) between 17 May 1990 and 5 April 1997 (“GMP equalisation”). The Group had previously recognised a past service cost of
£17 million in the year ended 31 March 2019, following the High Court ruling in 2018 in respect of GMP equalisation, and has retained this allowance at
31 March 2023 but adjusted for the passage of time and to reflect the estimated impact of changes in market conditions.

A further past service cost of £7 million was also recognised in the year ended 31 March 2021. This reflected benefit improvements for certain members
as part of the Group restructuring programme that commenced in the year ended 31 March 2021.

All past service costs are recognised in ‘exceptional items’ in the consolidated income statement. See Note 4 for further information.

The sensitivity analysis below is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur,
and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial
assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the
reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the pension liability recognised within the consolidated balance sheet.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to previous periods.

As at 31 March 2023, the schemes held Gilt Repos. The net value of these transactions is included in the value of government bonds in the table above.
The gross value of the funding obligation for the Repo transactions is £487 million at 31 March 2023 (2022: £1,462 million, 2021: £2,057 million).

JLR assigns an accounting level (1, 2 or 3) to asset holdings in order to reflect the level of judgement involved in the valuation of an asset. In assigning the
level JLR balances consistency between asset holdings, consistency from year to year and manager/other assessments. JLR designates level 1 to direct
holdings of liquid assets where an active market exists.

Custodian accounts where underlying assets are regularly traded or where comparable assets have traded values are designated level 2, for example
derivatives (including net value of swaps) and some property holdings. Assets which are not designated as level 1 or 2 are designated as level 3. Level 1
assets are reported as quoted, level 2 and 3 unquoted. Repo obligations are noted separately.

Private Equity holdings have been measured using the most recent valuations, adjusted for cash and currency movements between the last valuation
date and 31 March 2023. Given the movements in listed equity markets, the valuation of Private Equity holdings may vary significantly. The value of the
Private Equity holdings in the JLR UK Plans included above is £762 million as at 31 March 2023 (2022: £661 million, 2021: £453 million).

Jaguar Land Rover contributes towards the UK defined benefit schemes. Statutory funding valuations are carried out every three years, the latest
valuation as at 31 March 2021 was completed on 30 June 2022. The valuations resulted in revised schedules of contributions effective from 1 July
2022. At the point the valuations were agreed each plan was in surplus and, therefore, there are no further deficit recover contributions currently
payable. The ongoing Group contribution rate for defined benefit accrual for FY23 was c.24 per cent of pensionable salaries in the UK, however following
changes in financial conditions, from 1 April 2023 this reduced to c.10 per cent. The ongoing rate will vary to reflect prevailing financial conditions over
time. The next statutory funding valuations are scheduled as at 31 March 2024 and are expected to be completed by 30 June 2025.

JLR has taken legal advice considering the documentation of the UK schemes and the regulatory environment. This confirmed the recoverability of any
surplus in the scheme via reduced future contributions or settlement and JLR has based its accounting judgement on this advice.

The average duration of the benefit obligations at 31 March 2023 is 14.5 years (2022: 17.5 years, 2021: 19.0 years). Higher net discount rates have the
effect of reducing the duration of the liabilities and vice versa.

The expected net periodic pension cost for the year ended 31 March 2024 is expected to be £39 million. The Group expects to pay £30 million to its
defined benefit schemes, in total, for the year ended 31 March 2024 (excluding member contributions through salary sacrifice).

Defined contribution schemes


The Group’s contribution to defined contribution schemes for the year ended 31 March 2023 was £100 million (2022: £83 million, 2021: £86 million).

35 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The following includes a description of contingencies and commitments. The Group assesses such commitments and claims as well as 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 the 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 amounts.

Contingencies
Contingencies relates to legal and constructive obligations to third parties. There are claims and obligations against the Group which management has not
recognised, as settlement is not considered probable. These claims and obligations relate primarily to the following:

• third party claims and obligations primarily supplier claims;


• tax and duty; and,
• other, including consumer complaints, retailer terminations, employment cases and personal injury claims.

The increase in the year is driven mainly by supplier claims related to the significant inflation experienced during the period as well as lower than expected
volumes.

Commitments
The Group has entered into various contracts with vendors and contractors for the acquisition of plant and equipment and various civil contracts of a capital
nature and the acquisition of intangible assets.

Joint venture
Stipulated within the joint venture agreement with Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Ltd., and subsequently amended by a change to the Articles of
Association of Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Ltd. is a commitment for the Group to contribute a total of CNY 5,000 million in capital. Of this amount,
CNY 3,475 million has been contributed as at 31 March 2023. The outstanding commitment of CNY 1,525 million translates to £181 million at the 31 March
2023 exchange rate.

The Group’s share of capital commitments of its joint venture at 31 March 2023 is £12 million (2022: £16 million, 2021 £42 million) and contingent liabilities
of its joint ventures at 31 March 2023 is £nil (2022, 2021 £nil).

36 C A P I TA L M A N A G E M E N T

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 Company’s Board of Directors to ensure sufficient liquidity is maintained by
the Group. All debt issuance and capital distributions are approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

37 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Recognition and derecognition


A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial instruments are recognised on the balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for
amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues
to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is
recognised in profit or loss. When a financial instrument is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in equity (if any) is transferred to the consolidated
income statement.

Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group reviews the facts and circumstances around each asset
before making a determination. Financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished, that is when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or has expired.

Initial measurement
Initially, a financial instrument is recognised at its fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial instruments
are recognised in determining the carrying amount, if it is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs of financial instruments
carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

Subsequently, financial instruments are measured according to the category in which they are classified.

Classification and measurement – financial assets


Classification of financial assets is based on the business model in which the instruments are held as well as the characteristics of their contractual
cash flows. The business model is based on management’s intentions and past pattern of transactions. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are
considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest. The Group reclassifies financial
assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Financial assets are classified into three categories:

Financial assets at amortised cost are non-derivative financial assets with contractual cash flows that consist solely of payments of principal and
interest and which are held with the intention of collecting those contractual cash flows. Subsequently, these are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method less impairment losses, if any. These include cash and cash equivalents, contract assets and other financial assets.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are non-derivative financial assets with contractual cash flows that consist solely
of payments of principal and interest and which are held with the intention of collecting those contractual cash flows as well as to sell the financial
asset. Subsequently, these are measured at fair value, with unrealised gains or losses being recognised in other comprehensive income apart from any
expected credit losses or foreign exchange gains or losses, which are recognised in profit or loss. This category can also include financial assets that are
equity instruments which have been irrevocably designated at initial recognition as fair value through other comprehensive income. For these assets,
there is no expected credit loss recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets with contractual cash flows that do not consist solely of payments of principal
and interest. This category includes derivatives, embedded derivatives separated from the host contract and investments in certain convertible loan
notes. Subsequently, these are measured at fair value, with unrealised gains or losses being recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of derivative
instruments designated in a hedging relationship, for which hedge accounting is applied.

Classification and measurement – financial liabilities


Financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost unless they meet the specific criteria to be recognised at fair value through
profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include derivatives and embedded derivatives separated from the host contract as well as financial
liabilities held for trading. Subsequent to initial recognition, these are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised in profit or loss.
Embedded derivatives relating to prepayment options on senior notes are not considered as closely related and are separately accounted unless the
exercise price of these options is approximately equal on each exercise date to either the amortised cost of the senior notes or the present value of the
lost interest for the remaining term of the senior notes.

Impairment
The Group recognises a loss allowance in profit or loss for expected credit losses on financial assets held at amortised cost or at fair value through other
comprehensive income. Expected credit losses are forward looking and are measured in a way that is unbiased and represents a probability-weighted

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 131
amount, takes into account the time value of money (values are discounted using the applicable effective interest rate) and uses reasonable and
supportable information.

Lifetime expected credit losses are calculated for assets that were deemed credit impaired at initial recognition or have subsequently become credit
impaired as well as those where credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition.

The Group adopts the simplified approach to apply lifetime expected credit losses to trade receivables and contract assets. Where credit risk is deemed
low at the reporting date or to have not increased significantly, credit losses for the next 12 months are calculated.

Credit risk is determined to have increased significantly when the probability of default increases. Such increases are relative and assessment may include
external ratings (where available) or other information such as past due payments. Historic data and forward-looking information are both considered.
Objective evidence for a significant increase in credit risk may include where payment is overdue by 90 or more days as well as other information about
significant financial difficulties of the borrower.

Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interests in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments
issued by the Group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Investments in equity instruments are measured at fair value; however, where a quoted market price in an active market is not available, equity
instruments are measured at cost (investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading). The Group has not elected to account for these
investments at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Determination of fair value


Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. The fair value of a financial
instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price.

In estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take
those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group determines
the fair value of financial instruments that are quoted in active markets using the quoted bid prices (financial assets held) or quoted ask prices (financial
liabilities held) and using valuation techniques for other instruments. Valuation techniques include the discounted cash flow method and other valuation
models.

Hedge accounting
The Group uses foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency options and borrowings denominated in foreign currency to hedge its risks associated
with foreign currency fluctuations relating to highly probable forecast transactions. The Group designates these foreign currency forward contracts,
foreign currency options and borrowings denominated in foreign currency in cash flow hedging relationships.

The Group uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to convert some of its foreign currency denominated fixed-rate borrowings to GBP floating-rate
borrowings. Hedge accounting is applied using both fair value and cash flow hedging relationships. The designated risks are foreign currency and interest
rate risks.

Derivative contracts are stated at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet at each reporting date.

At inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item,
including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instrument are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. The Group
documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking its hedging transactions. The Group designates only the intrinsic value of foreign
exchange options in the hedging relationship. The Group designates amounts excluding foreign currency basis spread in the hedging relationship for both
foreign exchange forward contracts and cross-currency interest rate swaps. Changes in the fair value of the derivative contracts that are designated
and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within other comprehensive income (net of tax), and any
ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.

Changes in both the time value of foreign exchange options and foreign currency basis spread of foreign exchange forwards and cross-currency interest
rate swaps are recognised in other comprehensive income (net of tax) in the cost of hedging reserve to the extent that they relate to the hedged item
(the “aligned” value).

Changes in the fair value of contracts that are designated in a fair value hedge are taken to the consolidated income statement. They offset the change
in fair value, attributable to the hedged risks, of the borrowings designated as the hedged item.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, exercised or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting.
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the consolidated income statement in the periods in which the forecast transactions affect profit
or loss or as an adjustment to a non-financial item (e.g. inventory) when that item is recognised on the balance sheet. These deferred amounts are
ultimately recognised in profit or loss as the hedged item affects profit or loss (for example through cost of goods sold).

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 132
If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss in equity, including deferred costs of hedging, is immediately
transferred and recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Interest rate benchmark reform


A reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (‘IBORs’) with
alternative risk-free rates (‘RFR’). During the year ended 31 March 2022, the Group adopted Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Phase 2) Amendments
to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (effective 1 January 2022). The amendments permit modifications to asset and liability values as a direct
consequence of the interest rate benchmark reform, and which are made on an economically equivalent basis (i.e. where the basis for determining
contractual cash flows is the same), by only updating the effective interest rate. The amendments also provide relief from specific hedge accounting
requirements.

During the year ended 31 March 2022, the Group converted its LIBOR exposures to risk-free rates in advance of the cessation date. This conversion
included loans and derivatives which have been converted using fallback provisions. A number of derivatives which were converted using fallback
provisions have not yet transitioned to RFR due to the timing of reprice dates. Loans held by the Group that reference USD LIBOR will continue to do so
until June 2023. The expected impact of financial instruments yet to transition is immaterial for the Group.

As a result of the fallback provision, the Group consider its exposure to interest rate benchmark reform at 31 March 2023 to be minimal. The following
table shows the total amounts of exposures to IBOR which have yet to transition and those with appropriate fallback language at 1 April 2021, 31 March
2022 and at 31 March 2023. The amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are shown at their carrying amounts and derivatives are shown at

Offsetting
Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are subject to offsetting where there is currently a legally enforceable right to set off recognised amounts
and the Group intends to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Derivative financial assets and financial liabilities are subject to master netting arrangements whereby in the case of insolvency, derivative financial
assets and financial liabilities can be settled on a net basis.

Fair value hierarchy


Financial instruments held at fair value are required to be measured by reference to the following levels:

Quoted prices in an active market (Level 1): this level of hierarchy includes financial instruments that are measured by reference to quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Valuation techniques with observable inputs (Level 2): this level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs other than
quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): this level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs
that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on
assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor based on available market
data.

Recent transaction values


The pricing of recent investment transactions is the main input of valuations performed by the Group. The Group’s policy is to use observable market
data where possible for its valuations and, in the absence of portfolio company earnings or revenue to compare, or of relevant comparable businesses’
data, recent transaction prices represent the most reliable observable inputs.

Alternative valuation methodologies


Alternative valuation methodologies are used by the Group for reasons specific to individual assets. At 31 March 2023, the alternative technique used
was net asset value, representing 100 per cent of alternatively valued assets.

There has been no change in the valuation techniques adopted in either current or prior financial years as presented. There were no transfers between
fair value levels in the years ended 31 March 2023, 2022 and 2021.

The financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements, as defined
by IFRS 13, being those derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable
market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. Fair values of forward derivative financial assets and liabilities
are estimated by discounting expected future contractual cash flows using prevailing market interest rate curves from Reuters. Commodity swap
contracts are similarly fair valued by discounting expected future contractual cash flows. Option contracts on foreign currency are entered into on a zero
cost collar basis and fair value estimates are calculated from standard Black-Scholes options pricing methodology, using prevailing market interest rates
and volatilities. The estimate of fair values for cross-currency swaps is calculated using discounted estimated future cash flows. Estimates of the future
floating-rate cash flows are based on quoted swap rates, future prices, interbank borrowing rates (“LIBOR”) and risk free rates (“SONIA”).

Additionally, a credit valuation adjustment/debit value adjustment is taken on derivative financial assets and liabilities and is calculated by discounting the
fair value gain or loss on the financial derivative using credit default swap (“CDS”) prices quoted for the counterparty or Jaguar Land Rover respectively.
CDS prices are obtained from Reuters.

The long-term borrowings are held at amortised cost. The fair value of the listed debt for disclosure purposes is determined using Level 1 valuation
techniques, based on the closing price as at 31 March 2023 on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange multilateral trading facility (“EURO MTF”) market, for
unsecured listed bonds. For bank loans, Level 2 valuation techniques are used.

Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, trade receivables and payables, and other financial assets and liabilities (current and non-
current excluding derivatives and lease obligations) are assumed to approximate cost due to the short-term maturing of the instruments and as the
impact of discounting is not significant.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 136
Other investments that are not equity accounted for are recognised at fair value. Where there is an active quoted market, the fair value is determined
using Level 1 valuation techniques, based on the closing price at year end. The valuation of such investments as at 31 March 2023 is £nil (2022, 2021:
£nil). Where there is no active quoted market, the fair values have been determined using Level 3 valuation techniques and the closing valuation as at
31 March 2023 is £43 million (2022: £30 million, 2021: £22 million). The fair value gain recognised in the consolidated income statement for Level 3
investments for the year ended 31 March 2023 is £9 million (2022: gain of £4 million, 2021: gain of £2 million).

Of the financial assets held at 31 March 2023 and classified as Level 3, 98 per cent (2022: 96 per cent, 2021: 94 per cent) were valued using recent
transaction values and 2 per cent (2022: 4 per cent, 2021: 6 per cent) were valued using an alternative technique.

Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations in any estimation
technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of all the amounts
that the Group could have realised in a sales transaction as of the respective dates. The estimated fair value amounts as at 31 March 2023, 2022 and
2021 have been measured as at the respective dates. As such, the fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting
dates may be different from the amounts reported at each year end.

(B) Financial risk management


The Group is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate, commodity price, interest rate, liquidity and credit risks. The Group has a risk management
framework in place, which monitors all of these risks as discussed below. This framework is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk


The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have a potential impact on the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income, the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement,
where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency
of the respective consolidated entities.

Considering the countries and economic environment in which the Group operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange
rates in those countries. The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in US Dollar, Chinese Yuan and Euro against the functional currency of the Company
and its subsidiaries.

Foreign exchange risk on future transactions is mitigated through the use of derivative contracts. The Group is also exposed to fluctuations in exchange
rates that impact the valuation of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities of its National Sales Companies and also foreign currency
denominated balances on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet at each reporting period end. In addition to the derivatives designated in hedging
relationships as detailed in section (C), the Group enters into foreign currency contracts as economic hedges of recognised foreign currency debt.

Commodity price risk


The Group is exposed to commodity price risk arising from the purchase of certain raw materials such as aluminium, copper, platinum and palladium. This
risk is mitigated through the use of derivative contracts and fixed-price contracts with suppliers. The derivative contracts are not hedge accounted and
are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The total fair value loss on commodities of £132 million (2022: gain of £131 million, 2021: gain of £137 million) has been recognised in “Foreign exchange
(loss)/gain and fair value adjustments” in the consolidated income statement.

A 10 per cent appreciation/depreciation of all commodity prices underlying such contracts would have resulted in a gain/loss of £59 million (2022: £52
million, 2021: £41 million).

Interest rate risk


Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will lead to changes in interest income and expense for the Group.

In addition to issuing long-term fixed-rate bonds, the Group has other facilities in place that are primarily used to finance working capital and are subject
to variable interest rates. When undertaking a new debt issuance, the Company’s Board of Directors will consider the fixed/floating interest rate mix of
the Group, the outlook for future interest rates and the appetite for certainty of funding costs.

The Group uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to convert some of its issued debt from foreign currency denominated fixed-rate debt to GBP
floating-rate debt. The derivative instruments and the foreign currency fixed-rate debt may be designated in a hedging relationship.

As at 31 March 2023, short-term borrowings of £250 million (2022: £401 million, 2021: £253 million) and long-term borrowings of £1,061 million (2022:
£1,260 million, 2021: £1,037 million) were subject to a variable interest rate. An increase/decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates at the balance
sheet date would result in an impact of £13 million (2022: £17 million, 2021: £13 million) in the consolidated income statement.

The risk estimates provided assume a parallel shift of 100 basis points in interest rates across all yield curves. This calculation also assumes that the
change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The year-end balances are not
necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the year.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The Group’s policy on liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient liquidity in the form of cash and undrawn borrowing facilities to meet the Group’s operating
requirements with an appropriate level of headroom.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation. The majority of the
Group’s credit risk pertains to the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty default on cash investments.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. None of the financial instruments of the Group result in material
concentrations of credit risks.

All Group cash is invested according to strict credit criteria and actively monitored by Group Treasury in conjunction with the current market valuation of
derivative contracts. To support this, the Company’s Board of Directors has implemented an investment policy that places limits on the maximum cash
investment that can be made with any single counterparty depending on their published external credit rating.

To a lesser extent the Group has an exposure to counterparties on trade receivables and other financial assets. The Group seeks to mitigate credit risk
on sales to third parties through the use of payment at the point of delivery, credit limits, credit insurance and letters of credit from banks that meet
internal rating criteria.

Financial assets
None of the Group’s cash equivalents, including term deposits with banks, are past due or impaired. Regarding other financial assets that are neither
past due nor impaired, there were no indications as at 31 March 2023 (2022 and 2021: no indications) that defaults in payment obligations will occur.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 139
The Group has reviewed trade and other receivables not yet due and not impaired and no material issues have been identified. Trade receivables past
due and impaired are set out below:

At 31 March 2021, included within trade receivables was £19 million of receivables that were part of a debt factoring arrangement. These assets did
not qualify for derecognition due to the recourse arrangements in place. The related liability of £19 million was in short-term borrowings at 31 March
2021. Both the asset and associated liability were classified as amortised cost. The facility was closed during the year ended 31 March 2022 so no such
receivables were held at 31 March 2022 or 2023.

Off-balance sheet financial arrangements


At 31 March 2023, Jaguar Land Rover Limited (a subsidiary of the Company) had sold £373 million equivalent of trade receivables under its debt factoring
facility, which was renewed during the year ended 31 March 2023 and increased from $500 million to $900 million. Included in trade receivables at 31
March 2023 is £70 million of trade receivables that were repurchased during the year.

(C) Derivatives and hedge accounting

The Group’s operations give rise to revenue, raw material purchases and borrowings in currencies other than the Group’s presentation currency of GBP.
The Group forecasts these transactions over the medium term and enters into derivative contracts to mitigate the resulting foreign currency exchange
risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. The Group’s risk management strategy allows for hedge accounting when the derivatives meet the
hedge accounting criteria as set out in IFRS 9 as well as the Group’s risk management objectives.

Commodity derivatives are not hedge accounted. Foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency options and foreign currency denominated
borrowings may be designated as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge relationship against forecast foreign currency transactions to mitigate
foreign currency exchange risk associated with those transactions.

In addition, the Group uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge its foreign currency exchange risk associated with recognised borrowings. These
instruments may be designated in both cash flow and fair value hedging relationships, or may be economic hedges of debt. The Group also manages
foreign exchange risk on recognised borrowings using FX swaps. The Group utilises FX spot & FX swap contracts to manage operational requirements.

During the year, the Group designated US Dollar bonds with a principal amount of $1.2 billion in a cash flow hedge relationship against forecast US Dollar
revenue between the periods 2025 to 2027.

During the year ended 31 March 2023, the cross-currency interest rate swaps designated in a fair value and cash flow hedge against USD debt were
settled on their break date. The gain on the swaps was recognised during the year, with the settlement amount of the swaps deemed to be the best
indicator of fair value on break date. The fair value adjustment associated with the hedge will be amortised over the remaining life of the bond.

The gain/(loss) on the derivatives that are not designated in hedging relationships, whose fair value movements are recognised in ‘Foreign exchange
(loss)/gain and fair value adjustments’ in the consolidated income statement, is as follows:

Year ended 31 March (£ millions) 2023 2022 2021

Commodity derivative contracts (133) 131 137


Foreign currency derivative contracts 109 72 (77)
Interest rate derivative contracts 100 25 (47)
Total gain 76 228 13

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 140
During the year ended 31 March 2023, cross-currency interest rate swaps used in an economical hedge against USD debt were settled on their break
date. The gain on the swaps was recognised during the year, with the settlement amount of the swaps deemed to be the best indicator of fair value on
break date.

In all cases the Group uses a hedge ratio of 1:1. The critical terms of the derivative contracts are aligned with those of the hedged item. The Group
allows a maximum hedging term of five years for forecast transactions. The Group’s risk management policy allows for decreasing levels of hedging as
the forecasting horizon increases.

A 10 per cent depreciation/appreciation in Sterling against the foreign currency underlying contracts within the Group’s derivative portfolio that are
sensitive to changes in foreign exchange rates (including the impact to the fair value adjustment of foreign currency borrowing designated as the hedged
item in a fair value hedge relationship, excluding US Dollar bonds designated in a cash flow hedging relationship) would have resulted in the approximate
additional (loss)/gain shown in the table below:

As at 31 March (£ millions) 2023 2022 2021

10% depreciation in Sterling against the foreign currency:

Cash flow hedges


The Group uses foreign currency options, foreign currency forward contracts and recognised foreign currency borrowings as the hedging instruments
in cash flow hedge relationships of hedged sales and purchases. The time value of options and the foreign currency basis spread of foreign exchange
forward contracts are excluded from the hedge relationship and are recognised in other comprehensive income as a cost of hedging to the extent they
relate to the hedged item (the aligned value). Additionally, the Group uses cross-currency interest rate swaps as the hedging instrument of the foreign
exchange risk of recognised foreign currency borrowings.

Changes in the fair value of foreign currency contracts, to the extent determined to be an effective cash flow hedge, are recognised in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income, and the ineffective portion of the fair value change is recognised in the consolidated income statement. The main
sources of ineffectiveness are timing differences in the payment of the hedging instrument and hedged item and application differences in relation to
discounting of the hedged item in comparison to the hedging instrument.

It is anticipated that the hedged sales will take place over the next one to five years, at which time the amount deferred in equity will be reclassified to
revenue in the consolidated income statement.

It is anticipated that the hedged purchases will take place over the next one to five years, at which time the amount deferred in equity will be included
in the carrying amount of the raw materials. On sale of the finished product, the amount previously deferred in equity and subsequently recognised in
inventory will be reclassified to material and other cost of sales in the consolidated income statement.

The foreign currency borrowings designated as the hedged item mature in January 2026, at which time the amount deferred in equity will be reclassified
to the consolidated income statement.

38 LEASES

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the
right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control
the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:

• The contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent
substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
• The Group has the right to substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
• The Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Group has this right when it has the decision making rights that are most relevant to
changing how and for what purposes the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is
predetermined, the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:
• The Group has the right to operate the asset; or
• The Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purposes it will be used.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease
component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost,
which comprises of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial
direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is
allocated, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of the leased asset and the expected
lease term. If ownership of the leased asset is automatically transferred at the end of the lease term or the exercise of a purchase option is reflected in
the lease payments, the right-of-use asset is amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the leased asset.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the
interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its
incremental borrowing rate as a discount rate. The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured
when there is a change in future lease payments. The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases
that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as
an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Lease payments include fixed payments, i.e. amounts expected to be payable by the Company under residual value guarantee, the exercise price of
purchase options and lease payments in relation to lease extension options, if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise purchase or extension
options, and payment of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease term considered reflects that the Company shall exercise a termination option.

The Group applies the practical expedient to not assess whether rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic that
meet the following conditions are lease modifications:

• The change in lease payments results in revised consideration that is substantially the same, or less than the consideration for the lease immediately
preceding the change;
• Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022; and
• There no substantive changes to other terms and conditions of the lease.

Changes to lease payments for such leases are accounted for as if they are not lease modifications.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 145
The Group leases a number of buildings, plant and equipment, IT hardware and software assets, certain of which have a renewal and/or purchase
options in the normal course of the business. Extension and termination options are included in a number of leases across the Group. These are used to
maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Group’s operation. The majority of extension and termination options held are
exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor. The Group assesses at lease commencement whether it is reasonably certain to exercise
the extension or termination option. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise options if there is a significant event or significant
change in circumstances within its control. The Group’s leases mature between 2023 and 2051.

There are no leases with residual value guarantees.

Additions to right-of-use assets during the year ended 31 March 2023 was £137 million (2022: £131 million, 2021: £70 million).

The Group has not entered into any sale and leaseback transactions during the year ended 31 March 2023.

The Group entered into a sale and leaseback transaction during the year ended 31 March 2022. The transfer of the Group asset did not satisfy the
sale requirements of IFRS 15 and, therefore, is still retained on the Group balance sheet. An initial financial liability was recognised equal to the transfer
proceeds of £33 million in accordance with IFRS 9 in borrowings in note 27. The lessee accounting principles described above under IFRS 16 have been
applied to the leaseback transaction, with the initial right of use asset of £94 million recognised in land and buildings.

transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the assets.

Operating segments are defined as components of the Group about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the
chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Group operates in the automotive segment. The automotive segment includes all activities relating to design, development, manufacture and
marketing of vehicles including financing thereof, as well as sale of related parts and accessories and services from which the Group derives its revenues.
The Group has only one operating segment, so no separate segment report is given.

54 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

This section gives an overview of the significance of financial instruments for the Company and provides additional information on balance sheet items
that contain financial instruments.

The details of significant accounting policies, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses
are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset and financial liability, are disclosed in note 37 to the consolidated financial statements.

Fair value hierarchy


Financial instruments held at fair value are required to be measured by reference to the following levels:

• Quoted prices in an active market (Level 1): This level of hierarchy includes financial instruments that are measured by reference to quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• Valuation techniques with observable inputs (Level 2): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs other than
quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
• Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs
that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on
assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor based on available market
data.

There has been no change in the valuation techniques adopted or any transfers between fair value levels in either current or prior years as presented.

Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations in any estimation
technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of all the amounts
that the Company could have realised in a sales transaction as of respective dates. The estimated fair value amounts as of 31 March 2023, 2022 and
2021 have been measured as of the respective dates. As such, the fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting
dates may be different from the amounts reported at each year end.

(B) Financial risk management

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate, interest rate, liquidity and credit risks. The Company has a risk management framework in
place that monitors all of these risks as discussed below. This framework is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

A n n ua l Re p o r t 2022/23 159
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have a potential impact on the balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and cash flow
statement where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional
currency of the Company.

As at 31 March 2023, 2022 and 2021, there are no designated cash flow hedges.

The Company’s operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates. The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in US Dollar and Euro
against Sterling as the Company has US Dollar and Euro assets and liabilities and a GBP functional currency.

The following table sets forth information relating to foreign currency exposure as at 31 March 2023:

(£ millions) US Dollar Euro


Financial assets 2,581 2,364
Financial liabilities (2,587) (2,364)
Net exposure liability (6) -

A 10 per cent appreciation/depreciation of the US Dollar or Euro would result in a decrease/increase in the Company’s net profit before tax and net
assets by approximately £1 million and £nil respectively.

The following table sets forth information relating to foreign currency exposure as at 31 March 2022:

(£ millions) US Dollar Euro


Financial assets 2,980 2,282
Financial liabilities (2,974) (2,282)
Net exposure asset 6 -

A 10 per cent appreciation/depreciation of the US Dollar or Euro would result in an increase/decrease in the Company’s net profit before tax and net
assets by approximately £1 million and £nil respectively.

The following table sets forth information relating to foreign currency exposure as at 31 March 2021:

(£ millions) US Dollar Euro


Financial assets 2,480 1,861
Financial liabilities (2,477) (1,861)
Net exposure asset 3 -

A 10 per cent appreciation/depreciation of the US Dollar or Euro would result in an increase/decrease in the Company’s net profit before tax and net
assets by approximately £nil and £nil respectively.

Interest rate risk


Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will lead to changes in interest income and expense for the Company.

The Company is presently funded with long-term fixed interest rate borrowings and long-term variable-rate borrowings. The Company is also subject to
variable interest rates on certain other debt obligations.

As at 31 March 2023, net financial assets of £467 million (2022: £465 million, 2021: £436 million) were subject to a variable interest rate. An increase/
decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates at the balance sheet date would result in an impact of £5 million (2022: £5 million, 2021: £4 million).

The risk estimates provided assume a parallel shift of 100 basis points interest rate across all yield curves. This calculation also assumes that the
change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The year-end balances are not
necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the year.

Liquidity rate risk


Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The Company’s policy on liquidity risk is to ensure that sufficient borrowing facilities are available to fund ongoing operations without the need to
carry significant net debt over the medium term. The quantum of committed borrowing facilities available to the Company is reviewed regularly and is
designed to exceed forecast peak gross debt levels.

Credit risk
Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk consist of loans to subsidiaries.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

Financial assets
None of the other financial assets are past due or impaired. Regarding other financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired, there were no
indications as at 31 March 2023 (2022, 2021: no indications) that defaults in payment obligations will occur. However, as required under IFRS 9, the
Company has assessed other financial assets for expected credit losses.

These financial assets are loan receivables from subsidiaries and the Company notes that there is no history of default on such arrangements. As there
has been no significant increase in credit risk, the Company has assessed these based on a 12-month expected credit loss. The impairment of the loan
receivables due to the requirements under IFRS 9 are set out below:
