These challenges saw JLR’s revenue for Q4 drop by 11% when compared to the same period for the 2025 financial year, but revenue rose strongly, up by 51.4% when compared to Quarter Three of the 2026 financial year.
Profit after tax in the quarter was £365m, compared to a profit of £640m in the same quarter a year ago. For the full year, the loss after tax was £(244)m compared to a profit of £1.8bn last year.
“JLR faced a challenging year with revenue and profit impacted by multiple headwinds, including a pause in production following the cyber incident,” said P.B. Balaji, JLR’s CEO. “We recovered well in the fourth quarter as production returned to normal levels, demonstrating the commitment of our people, suppliers and retail partners.”
Some impact on volumes and profitability were to be expected given the planned ‘firebreak’ in Jaguar production during the switch to all-electric and the ramping up for production of Type 01, however JLR could not have predicted the impact of the cyber-attack, increased competitiveness in the increasingly-important Chinese market and instability caused by the on-and-off nature of the US government’s tariffs.
“As we look ahead into Financial Year 2027, we are focused on driving growth through our well differentiated House of Brands and reducing our break‑even volumes whilst we launch a slew of exciting products starting with the new Range Rover Electric, the unveiling of the first of our EMA products and the eagerly awaited new Jaguar,” added Balaji.
These new products should see JLR well placed for a successful new financial year, backed by continued investment in its UK production facilities. This investment, along with new partnerships in China and potential new partnerships in the United States will go along way to establishing the new Jaguar as a truly global brand.
