FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Consolidated income statement
Jaguar Land Rover’s revenue and profitability were lower in Fiscal 2018/19, reflecting lower sales in China, higher incentive spending
and warranty costs, as well as higher depreciation and amortisation, partially offset by cost efficiencies achieved through Project
Charge and favourable overall foreign exchange movements. Also in the year, exceptional charges of £3.3 billion were incurred,
comprising a £3.1 billion write-down of the carrying value of investments on account of more muted demand scenarios and the
associated impact on the financials, and one-time separation costs of £149 million related to the redundancy programme.

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 2017 have been disclosed solely
for the information of the users.
2 Accounting policies
S T AT E M E N T O F C O M P L I A N C E
These consolidated and parent company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRS IC) interpretations as adopted by the
European Union (EU) and the requirements of the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies
reporting under IFRS.
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.
B A S I S O F P R E P A R AT I O N
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial
instruments, which are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration
given in exchange for the assets. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. The balance sheet and
accompanying notes as at 31 March 2017 have been disclosed solely for the information of the users.
GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors consider to be appropriate for
the following reasons.
The directors have assessed the financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2019 (net assets of £5,979 million (2018:
£9,984 million, 2017: £6,581 million)) and the projected cash flows and financial performance of the Group for the period
to 31 March 2021. After consideration of a reasonably possible downside scenario (a reduction in forecast sales volumes
of 10 per cent) as well as a no-deal Brexit scenario, the Company forecasts sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they
fall due throughout the assessment period even if no new funding is sought.
Therefore, the directors consider, after making appropriate enquiries and taking into consideration the risks and
uncertainties facing the Group, that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operation as a going concern for the
foreseeable future and is able to meet its obligations linked to the borrowings in place. Accordingly, the directors continue
to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these consolidated and parent company financial statements.
B A S I S O F C O N S O L I D AT I O N
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 has power over the investee, is exposed or
has rights to variable return from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power to affect its
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. All subsidiaries of the Group given in note 42 to the parent
company financial statements are included in the consolidated financial statements.
Intercompany transactions and balances including unrealised profits are eliminated in full on consolidation.
112 JAG U A R L A N D ROV E R A U TO M OT I V E PLC A N N U A L R E P O RT 2018 /19
Joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognised initially at cost. The Group’s
investment includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The consolidated financial
statements include the Group’s share of the income and expenses, 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 investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses
is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation 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 received are recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
U S E O F E S T I M AT E S A N D J U D G E M E N T S
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 below.
Notes 17 and 18 provide further details of the exceptional impairment charge recognised in the year ended 31 March
2019, including disclosing additional sensitivities performed.
JUDGEMENTS
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which
have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:
Revenue recognition: Vehicle revenue, as the primary source of income for the Group, is recognised when control of
the vehicle passes to the customer, which the Group has assessed is when the vehicle is either despatched or held on
behalf of the customer but depends on the underlying terms of the customer contract. Control of an asset refers to
having the ability to direct the use of the asset and obtain substantially all of the remaining economic benefit.
The transfer of control depends on the consideration of a number of facts and circumstances surrounding the relevant
transaction, such as the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, transfer of legal title, transfer of physical possession,
customer acceptance and whether or not an entity has a present right to payment. The Group determines the transfer
of control with reference to those factors, thus ultimately driving revenue recognition.
In some instances, the Group recognises revenue on a bill-and-hold basis where control of the vehicle has been
transferred to the customer but physical possession is retained by the Group (for example, within a vehicle holding
compound) until a future point in time. Revenue is recognised on the meeting of bill-and-hold criteria, which are
considered to be met as 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.
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 18.
Alternative performance measures (APMs): Management 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.
Refer to note 3.
F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 113
Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
Deferred tax asset recognition: 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. In addition, significant judgement is required in assessing the impact of any legal
or economic limits or uncertainties in various tax jurisdictions.
E S T I M AT E S A N D A S S U M P T I O N S
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. Other estimates are those that may affect carrying amounts in the longer term.
S I G N I F I C A N T E S T I M AT E S
Impairment of intangible and tangible fixed assets: The Group tests annually whether indefinite lived intangible fixed
assets have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is based on the higher of
value in use and the fair value less cost of disposal. Value in use is calculated from cash flow projections generally over
five years using data from the Group’s latest internal forecasts and extrapolated beyond five years using estimated
long-term growth rates. Key assumptions and sensitivities for impairment are disclosed in note 18. The Group has
considered it appropriate to include additional sensitivities for the year ended 31 March 2019 for further transparency.
Retirement benefit obligation: The present value of the post-employment benefit obligations depends on a number of
factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining
the net cost/(income) for pensions include the discount rate, inflation and mortality assumptions. Any changes in these
assumptions will impact upon the carrying amount of post-employment benefit obligations. Key assumptions and
sensitivities for post-employment benefit obligations are disclosed in note 32.
O T H E R E S T I M AT E S
Product warranties: The Group provides product warranties on all new vehicle sales. Provisions are generally
recognised when vehicles are sold or when new warranty programmes are initiated. Based on historical warranty claim
experience, assumptions have to be made on the type and extent of future warranty claims and customer goodwill
(representing the Group’s constructive obligation to its customers when managing those warranty claims), as well
as on possible recall campaigns. These assessments are based on experience of the frequency and extent of vehicle
faults and defects in the past. In addition, the estimates also include assumptions on the amounts of potential repair
costs per vehicle and the effects of possible time or mileage limits. The provisions are regularly adjusted to reflect new
information. Refer to note 27.
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 in note 16.
Investment in equity accounted investees: At each balance sheet date or when there are indicators of impairment,
the Group assesses whether there is any objective evidence that the carrying value of equity accounted investments
may be impaired. As a result of the slowdown in the Chinese automotive market, at 31 March 2019, the Group’s
investment in Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd. was tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36
by comparing the carrying value of the investment to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is dependent on
a wide range of assumptions, including sales volume forecasts, operating margin, capital expenditure and discount rate.
114 JAG U A R L A N D ROV E R A U TO M OT I V E PLC A N N U A L R E P O RT 2018 /19
The carrying values of equity accounted investments are disclosed in note 15.
Variable marketing expense: The Group offers sales incentives in the form of variable marketing expense to customers,
which vary depending on the timing and customer of any subsequent sale of the vehicle. This sales incentive is
accounted for as a revenue reduction and is constrained to a level that is highly probable not to reverse the amount of
revenue recognised when any associated uncertainty 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, the current
position of market conditions and a future-looking assessment considering relevant geopolitical factors.
Uncertain tax provisions: 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 33 unless
the likelihood of an outflow of economic benefits is remote.
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 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 considers
its primary customers from the sale of vehicles, parts and accessories (its primary revenue-generating streams) are
generally retailers, fleet and corporate customers, 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 37, 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 individual 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 available and observable, it is
estimated using an appropriate alternative approach.
F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 115
Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
Determining the transfer of control with regards to the sale of goods is driven by a consideration of
a number of factors, including:
• 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, which coincides with the invoicing point. 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 customers, which are usually 30 days.
Sales incentives In accordance with IFRS 15, 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 ultimately 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 uncertainty associated with such
variability is subsequently resolved.
The Group considers that the variable consideration received for contracts with multiple
performance obligations is allocated to all such obligations only when applicable. In the vast
majority of instances, the Group considers that variable components of consideration are
allocated only to the relevant and applicable performance obligations. 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.
Scheduled maintenance Scheduled maintenance contracts sold with a vehicle provide the end customer with the
contracts benefit of bringing their vehicle to a dealership for the routine maintenance required to maintain
compliance for warranty purposes. These are considered a separate performance obligation of
the Group.
The Group typically receives payment relating to the scheduled maintenance contract 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.
The Group recognises revenue for scheduled maintenance contracts based on the expected
performance of the services over the period from the point of a vehicle being retailed to an end
customer and aligning to the expected costs to fulfil those services.
116 JAG U A R L A N D ROV E R A U TO M OT I V E PLC A N N U A L R E P O RT 2018 /19
Revenue is recognised only when the relevant good or product is sold by the Group with no
repurchase obligation or option attached.
Returns obligations, Vehicle sales do not typically include allowances for returns or refunds, although in some
refunds and markets there is legislative requirement for Jaguar Land Rover as an automotive manufacturer to
similar obligations repurchase or reacquire a vehicle if quality issues arise that have been remedied a number of times
and where the owner no longer wishes to own the vehicle as a result.
With regards to the sale of 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. In line with the requirements of IFRS 15, a sale is not recognised
for expected returns, and instead the Group recognises a refund liability and asset where required.
Non-cash consideration In some instances, the Group engages in transactions that involve non-cash consideration, where
a customer provides consideration in a form other than cash. This is most often demonstrated in
marketing and sponsorship arrangements that the Group enters into, with an exchange of goods
and/or services with its customers.
Such non-cash consideration is measured at its fair value, which is determined by assessing the
selling price value of the goods or services received as consideration. If this cannot be reasonably
estimated, then the Group measures such consideration indirectly with reference to the stand-
alone selling price of the goods or services promised to the customer.
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, stores and other manufacturing supplies, and other expenses incurred for product
development undertaken by the Group.
F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 117
Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
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 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,
and government grants that are awarded as incentives with no ongoing performance obligations to the Group are
recognised as other income in the period in which the grant is received.
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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
The Company has a functional currency of GBP. The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is GBP.
Except where noted below, the directors of the Company have determined that the functional currency of the UK and non-
UK selling operations is GBP, being the primary economic environment that influences these operations. This is on the basis
that the directors assess control as being in the UK and that GBP is the currency that primarily determines sales prices and
is the main currency for the retention of operating income. The functional currency of Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive
Company Ltd., the Group’s principal joint venture, is Chinese Yuan (CNY). The functional currency of Jaguar Land Rover Slovakia
s.r.o, Jaguar Land Rover Classic Deutschland GmbH and Jaguar Land Rover Ireland (Services) Limited is Euro, the functional
currency of Jaguar Land Rover India is INR, the functional currency of Jaguar Land Rover Classic USA LLC is USD and the
functional currency of Jaguar Land Rover Hungary KFT is HUF.
Transactions in foreign currencies 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”.
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.
I N C O M E TA X E S
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 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 business loss and 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.
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 and on the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the balance sheet date.

EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS
Exceptional items are disclosed separately in the consolidated income statement and excluded from adjusted EBIT and
adjusted EBITDA measures to enhance the reader’s understanding of the performance of the Group by excluding items
that would otherwise distort reporting of the Group’s performance due to their size or nature.
P R O P E R T Y, P L A N T A N D E Q U I P M E N T
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:
The depreciation 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 finance 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.
I N TA N G I B L E A S S E T S
Acquired intangible assets
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.
F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 119
Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
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.
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.
I M PA I R M E N T
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 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.
The estimated recoverable amount is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal. 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 annual review of the carrying value of heritage assets is performed as the assets are held at cost and not
depreciated and any write-down in the carrying value is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of up to three months that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and that are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.
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.
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.
Provisions are held for product warranty, legal and product liabilities, residual risks, restructuring and environmental risks
as detailed in note 27 to the consolidated financial statements.
Supplier reimbursements are recognised as separate assets within “Other financial assets”. See note 16.
L O N G - T E R M I N C E N T I V E P L A N ( “ LT I P ” )
The Group operated a share-based payment LTIP arrangement for certain employees. The scheme provides a cash
payment to the employee based on a specific number of phantom shares at grant date and the share price of Tata
Motors Limited at the vesting date, subject to profitability and employment conditions. These are accounted for as
cash-settled arrangements, whereby a liability is recognised at fair value at the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes
model. At each balance sheet date, until the liability is settled, the fair value of the liability is remeasured, with any
corresponding changes in fair value recognised in the consolidated income statement.
LEASES
At the inception of a lease, the lease arrangement is classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease, based on
the contractual terms and substance of the lease arrangement.
The impact on the Group’s accounting policies for leases under IFRS 16 for the year ended 31 March 2020 is given on
page 129.
F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 121
Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
Contributions to the plans by the Group take into consideration the results of actuarial valuations. The plans with
a surplus position at the balance sheet date have been limited to the maximum economic benefit available from
unconditional rights to refund from the scheme or reduction in future contributions. Where the subsidiary group is
considered to have a contractual obligation to fund the pension plan above the accounting value of the liabilities, an
onerous obligation is recognised.
The UK defined benefit schemes were closed to new joiners in April 2010.
For defined benefit schemes, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with
actuarial revaluations being carried out at the end of each reporting period.
Remeasurement comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling and the return on scheme
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.
Past service cost, including curtailment gains and losses, is generally recognised in profit or loss in the period of scheme
amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined
benefit liability.
The Group presents these defined benefit costs within “Employee costs” in the consolidated income statement (see note 7).
Separate defined contribution schemes are available to all other employees of the Group. Costs in respect of these
schemes are charged to the consolidated income statement as incurred.
Measurement date
The measurement date of all retirement plans is 31 March.
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,
122 JAG U A R L A N D ROV E R A U TO M OT I V E PLC A N N U A L R E P O RT 2018 /19
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.
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, finance receivables 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.
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.
F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 123
Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
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 permitted in IFRS 9 to apply lifetime expected credit losses to trade
receivables and contract assets, thereby eliminating the need to assess changes in credit risk for those 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.
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.
Credit risk has increased significantly when the probability of default has increased significantly. 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.
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.
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 a cash flow hedging relationship by applying hedge accounting principles under IFRS 9.
The Group uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to convert some of its issued debt from foreign denominated
fixed-rate debt to GBP floating-rate debt. 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.
124 JAG U A R L A N D ROV E R A U TO M OT I V E PLC A N N U A L R E P O RT 2018 /19
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).
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.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and
financial liabilities and introduces a new impairment model for financial assets and new rules for hedge accounting.
The Group has undertaken an assessment of classification and measurement on transition and has not identified a
material impact on the financial statements given that equity investments that are not equity accounted are valued at
fair value through profit or loss. The impact on the categorisation of financial assets and liabilities within scope of IFRS 9
is summarised below:
The Group has undertaken an assessment of its hedge relationships and has concluded that the Group’s current hedge
relationships qualified as continuing hedges upon the adoption of IFRS 9. The Group has identified a change with
respect to the treatment of the cost of hedging, specifically the time value of the foreign exchange options and foreign
currency basis spread included in the foreign exchange forwards and cross-currency interest rate swaps. The time
value of foreign exchange options and the foreign currency basis spread included in the foreign exchange forwards and
cross-currency interest rate swaps is now recorded in a separate component of the statement of other comprehensive
income. Amounts accumulated in equity for hedges of non-financial items will now be recognised as an adjustment
to that non-financial item (i.e. inventory) when recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, and this adjustment has
been made on a prospective basis from 1 April 2018. As such, the Group had a £27 million reduction in net assets on
transition to IFRS 9.
As required under the transition rules of IFRS 9, comparative periods have been restated only for the retrospective
application of the cost of hedging approach for the time value of the foreign exchange options and also the Group’s
voluntary application of foreign currency basis spread included in the foreign exchange forwards and cross-currency
interest rate swaps as a cost of hedging. Accordingly, the information presented for prior periods is not wholly
comparable to the information presented for the current year.
Further, under the published change issued by the IASB in February 2018 regarding the modification of financial
liabilities, an additional charge of £5 million has been recognised for the financial year ended 31 March 2018,
representing the loss recognised on the modification of the Group’s undrawn revolving credit facility.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers was adopted by the Jaguar Land Rover Group with a date of
initial application of 1 April 2018. The new standard replaces the requirements under IAS 18 Revenue and IAS 11
Construction Contracts, as well as the related interpretations. The primary purpose of the new standard is to specify
a set of consistently applicable underlying revenue recognition principles across all sectors, industries and types of
arrangements. As a result, the Group has amended its accounting policy for revenue recognition as described on the
following pages and in note 5.
In accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard, the Group has applied IFRS 15 on the modified retrospective
basis. This allows the Group to recognise the cumulative effect of applying the new standard at the date of application
with no restatement of the comparative periods, which remain under the previously existing accounting principles.
However, in using this method, the Group is required to present the current fiscal year’s financial statements on a line-by-
line basis under both IFRS 15 and the previously existing accounting principles to demonstrate the impact of applying the
new standard.
As a result, the Group has recognised a £5 million reduction in net assets on transition to IFRS 15. The impact on the
opening consolidated balance sheet for the year ended 31 March 2019 is given in the table below.
IFRS 15 describes a comprehensive, logical five-step model for determining revenue recognition, including the amount
and timing upon which revenue is recognised. It requires the Group:
1. To identify the contract with a customer;
2. To identify the related performance obligations and distinct promises made by the Group to the customer within the contract;
3. To determine the transaction price, representing the amount of consideration that the Group expects to be entitled to
under the contract;
4. To allocate that contractual transaction price to each performance obligation on a stand-alone selling price basis (or a
valid, reasonable alternative if the stand-alone selling price is not available); and
5. To recognise revenue at a point in time or over time depending on the satisfaction of each performance obligation.
This coincides with when the underlying control of a good or service is transferred to the customer.
The implementation of IFRS 15 has no impact on the timing of revenue recognition associated to the sale of the
physical vehicles, parts and accessories, being the Group’s core revenue-generating streams, and ultimately remains in a
manner consistent with prior years.

information for the years ending 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017 has not been restated. As a result, the comparative
information provided for those fiscal periods continues to be accounted for in accordance with the Group’s previous
revenue recognition accounting policies under IAS 18 Revenue.

Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
The amendment to IFRS 2 Share-Based Payments is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January
2018. It clarifies how to account for cash-settled share-based payment transactions that include a performance
condition, the classification of share-based payment transactions with net settlement features and the accounting for
modifications of share-based payment transactions from cash-settled to equity-settled.
The amendment in relation to accounting for cash-settled share-based payment transactions when a performance
condition is in place is intended to give further guidance in applying the standard. The Group is currently in compliance with
those clarifications. The remaining amendments to the standard are not applicable to the Group’s operations at this time.
(b) Financial reporting pronouncements, issued by the IASB and endorsed by the EU, that are considered significant
to the Jaguar Land Rover Group but are not yet adopted:
IFRS 16 Leases is effective for the year beginning 1 April 2019 for the Group. This standard replaces IAS 17 Leases,
IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC 15 Operating Leases - Incentives and SIC 27
Evaluating the Substance of the Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease interpretations. Under IFRS 16, lessee
accounting is based on a single model, resulting from the elimination of the distinction between operating and finance
leases. All leases will be recognised on the balance sheet with a right-of-use asset capitalised and depreciated over the
estimated lease term together with a corresponding liability that will reduce over the same period with an appropriate
interest charge recognised.
The Group will elect to apply the exemptions for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less (short-term leases)
and for leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with those leases are
recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis.
The Group is applying the modified retrospective approach on transition, under which the comparative financial
statements will not be restated. The cumulative impact of the first-time application of IFRS 16 is recognised as an
adjustment to opening equity at 1 April 2019.
The Company has elected to use the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
• On initial application, IFRS 16 has only been applied to contracts that were previously classified as leases under IFRIC 4;
• Regardless of the original lease term, lease arrangements with a remaining duration of less than 12 months will
continue to be expensed to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term;
• Short-term and low-value leases will be exempt;
• The lease term has been determined with the use of hindsight where the contract contains options to extend or
terminate the lease;
• The discount rate applied as at transition date is the incremental borrowing rate corresponding to the remaining lease term;
and
• The measurement of a right-of-use asset excludes the initial direct costs at the date of initial application.
The financial impact assessment made by the Group is preliminary as not all transaction work requirements have been
finalised. As at the date of initial application, it is expected that the impact on net assets will not be material.
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments is effective for accounting periods commencing on or after
1 January 2019. The interpretation requires an entity to determine whether uncertain tax positions are assessed
separately or as a group and assess whether it is probable that a tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment
used, or proposed to be used, by an entity in its income tax filings.
If yes, the entity should determine its accounting tax position consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to be
used in its income tax filings. If no, the entity should reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining its accounting tax
position. The application of IFRIC 23 is not considered to have a material impact on the Group’s profitability, liquidity and
capital resources or financial position as the existing accounting policy applied by the Group is consistent with IFRIC 23.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts will replace IFRS 4, the existing accounting standard for insurance contracts, with an
effective date for accounting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2021. However, this has not yet been adopted
for use in the EU.
IFRS 17 requires insurance liabilities to be measured at a current fulfilment value and provides a more uniform measurement
and presentation approach for all insurance contracts. The requirements are designed to achieve the goal of a consistent
principle-base accounting for insurance contracts. The new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
Group at this time, as certain “insurance-type” offerings common to the automotive industry (such as vehicle warranties
issued by Jaguar Land Rover as an original equipment manufacturer) are treated outside of the scope of IFRS 17, instead
under alternative standards such as IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets. A formal impact assessment of IFRS 17 will be performed prior to the effective date and
adoption of the standard by the Group. While early application of IFRS 17 is permitted, the Group does not plan to do so.
Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits were announced to clarify the accounting for plan amendments,
curtailments and settlements and are effective for accounting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019. If a
plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs, it is now mandatory that the current service cost and the net
interest for the period after the remeasurement are determined using the assumptions used for the remeasurement.
In addition, amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on
the requirements regarding the asset ceiling. The Group continues to evaluate the impact of adopting the amendments.
Other standards and interpretations that have been approved but not discussed above are not considered to have a
material impact on the Group consolidated financial statements, and therefore no specific disclosure has been made.

Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
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.
During the year ended 31 March 2019, the definitions of adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA were amended to exclude
unrealised fair value gains and losses on equity investments. The Group considers the amended APM to better measure
underlying profitability of the Group as it aligns the presentation of unrealised gains and losses on financial instruments in
the form of equity investments with other financial instruments. Adjusted EBIT for the year ended 31 March 2018 prior to
the change was £974 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended 31 March 2018 prior to the change was £2,797 million.
Adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA are unchanged for the year ended 31 March 2017.
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.
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.
Operating cash flow before investment is used as a measure of the operating performance and cash available to the
Group before the direct cash impact of investment decisions.
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.
Reconciliations between these alternative performance measures and statutory reported measures are shown below.

4 Exceptional items
The exceptional items recognised in the year ended 31 March 2019 comprise:
• An impairment charge of £3,105 million for the year ended 31 March 2019 following an impairment exercise
undertaken in accordance with IAS 36. Further details are given in note 18;
• Restructuring costs of £149 million relating to a Group restructuring programme announced and carried out during
the year ended 31 March 2019; and
• A past service cost of £17 million following a High Court ruling in October 2018 that pension schemes are required
to equalise male and female members’ benefits for the inequalities within guaranteed minimum pension (“GMP”)
earned between 17 May 1990 and 5 April 1997. The Group historically made no assumptions for GMP and therefore
considered the change to be a plan amendment. Further details are given in note 32.
The exceptional items recognised in the year ended 31 March 2018 comprise:
• £1 million of import duties recovered in relation to vehicles damaged in the Tianjin explosion; and
• A past service credit of £437 million following an amendment to the defined benefit pension schemes’ rules that,
among other changes, meant that future retirement benefits would be calculated each year and revalued until
retirement in line with a prescribed rate rather than based upon a member’s final salary at retirement. Further details
are given in note 32.
The exceptional items recognised in the year ended 31 March 2017 comprise:
• £151 million of recoveries in respect of stored vehicles damaged in the Tianjin explosion and including amounts
received for insurance, taxes and saleable vehicles. In addition, a further £35 million of insurance and vehicle
recoveries were recognised in the year ended 31 March 2017 related to additional costs of £35 million incurred in the
year ended 31 March 2017 that were associated with Tianjin, including lost and discounted vehicle revenue.

Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
Included in “Income tax credit/(expense)” in the consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 March 2019 is a
credit in respect of exceptional items of £278 million (2018: charge of £78 million, 2017: charge of £46 million).
5 Revenue
The Group’s revenues are summarised as follows:
“Revenue – other” includes sales of goods other than vehicles, parts and accessories as well as revenue recognised outside
the scope of IFRS 15, primarily being lease instalments recognised from assets sold with a repurchase commitment.
Revenue disaggregation
The following table presents the Group’s revenue, disaggregated by primary geographical market, timing of revenue
recognition and major product categories. All revenue is generated from the Group’s single automotive operating segment.
5 Revenue (continued)
Contract liabilities
2019
Year ended 31 March £m
Ongoing service obligations 805
Liabilities for advances received 86
Total contract liabilities 891
Revenue that is expected to be recognised within five years related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or
partially unsatisfied) amounted to £891 million at 31 March 2019.
“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
customers 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.
The movement in contract liabilities relates solely to revenue recognised from balances held at the beginning of the
year of £288 million and increases due to cash received for performance obligations unsatisfied at the year end of
£457 million.

The weighted average share price of the 1,764,566 phantom shares vested in the year was £3.20 (2018: £4.33, 2017: £4.75).
The weighted average remaining contractual life of the outstanding phantom shares is nil years (2018: 0.3 years,
2017: 0.8 years).
During the year ended 31 March 2019, £1 million was recognised as a credit to “Employee costs” in relation to the
share-based payment LTIP (2018: credit of £1 million, 2017: charge of £8 million).
The fair value of the balance sheet liability in respect of phantom stock awards outstanding at the year end was £nil
(2018: £7 million, 2017: £16 million) and is included in “Provisions”.

LTIP. The new LTIP, effective from June 2016, provides a cash payment to certain employees based on the Group’s
performance against long-term business metrics related to performance and strategic priorities (over a period of three
years). This new LTIP benefit scheme has been accounted for in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits.

Introduction
JLR’s business has grown significantly in recent years and continues to do so. JLR’s operations are large and complex and,
as a result, the Group operates through multiple companies, with activities, employees and assets located in numerous
countries around the world. This, in turn, naturally drives an inherent level of complexity in the Group’s tax affairs.
In relation to tax matters, just as for any other area of the Group’s business, JLR always strives to be a good, responsible
corporate citizen, and JLR is committed to complying with all applicable tax laws, both in letter and in spirit. We aim to
be fair, honest, transparent and ethical in our conduct and for everything we do to stand the test of public scrutiny.
1. Tax compliance
This is considered the most fundamental and important of our six principles. JLR will always seek to comply with
all applicable tax laws, both in terms of the letter and the spirit of the law, and to satisfy its global tax compliance
obligations in a timely and accurate manner.
In addition, we adhere to the JLR Code of Conduct and the Tata Code of Conduct, which set out the high ethical
standards of business behaviour expected from all companies and employees within our Group.

Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
14 Taxation (continued)
2. Business alignment
JLR always aligns its tax affairs with the genuine business activities being undertaken by the organisation. We do
not engage in any form of tax avoidance or artificial tax structuring and we do not operate or use any offshore
tax havens. All JLR Group subsidiaries are located in countries where the business has significant physical and
economic operations (i.e. employees, offices and revenue-generating activity).
Where governments or fiscal authorities have introduced particular tax reliefs, credits, incentives or exemptions
to encourage specific types of economic activity (for example, investment in research and development), we will
always seek to ensure that JLR claims the appropriate level of benefit for which it qualifies.
JLR actively seeks to minimise risk in relation to tax matters. We do this through a variety of processes and
controls including, for example, tax risk assessments and health-check exercises for subsidiaries, online monitoring
of compliance processes and an active Advance Pricing Agreement programme.
5. Tax resource
Responsibility for the day-to-day management of JLR’s tax affairs rests with our central Tax function, led by
the JLR Tax Director. The function comprises an appropriate blend of tax professionals with the necessary
qualifications, training, skills and experience required to effectively undertake their roles. The Tax function also
advises the JLR plc Board in relation to setting Group tax strategy and policy.
In addition to the central Tax function, the business also has dedicated tax professionals embedded within the
finance teams in key non-UK subsidiaries.
Where appropriate, we look to implement technology-based solutions to streamline processes, drive efficiency
and manage risk.
We also actively engage in dialogue with governments, either directly or through appropriate representative
bodies, in relation to matters of tax policy that affect our business.

The following table sets out the summarised financial information of the Group’s individually material joint venture,
Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd., after adjusting for material differences in accounting policies:
Included within the summarised financial information above are the following amounts:
On 31 August 2017, Jaguar Land Rover Limited acquired a further 10,000 “B” shares in Spark44 (JV) Limited, increasing
its share of the voting rights of Spark44 (JV) Limited from 50 per cent to 50.5 per cent. In addition, Spark44 (JV)
Limited’s Articles of Association together with the Shareholder Agreement were amended to give Jaguar Land Rover
Limited control of Spark44 (JV) Limited as the majority shareholder. Spark44 (JV) Limited is not publicly listed.
The following table sets out the Group’s share of profit and other comprehensive income and the carrying amount of
the Group’s equity accounted investment in Spark44 (JV) Limited. The information for the year ended 31 March 2018
presented in this table includes the results of Spark44 (JV) Limited for the period from 1 April 2017 to 31 August 2017
prior to acquisition as a subsidiary.

Associates
The Group has no additional rights or influence over Jaguar Cars Finance Limited other than the voting rights attached to
the ordinary share capital.
During the year ended 31 March 2018, the Group purchased 25.08 per cent of the share capital of Driveclubservice Pte.
Ltd. for £0.2 million. In addition, the Group also purchased 1 per cent of the share capital of Driveclub Limited, the wholly
owned subsidiary of Driveclubservice Pte. Ltd. However, the Group has 25.83 per cent of the voting rights, being the
1 per cent of share capital held and the indirect shareholding held through Driveclubservice Pte. Ltd. Both Driveclubservice
Pte. Ltd. and Driveclub Limited are therefore accounted for as equity accounted investments as the Group has significant
influence over the companies.
During the year ended 31 March 2018, the Group’s proportion of the ordinary share capital in Cloudcar Inc. was diluted
to 26 per cent of the ordinary share capital. However, the Group has 33 per cent of the voting rights since a number of

During the year ended 31 March 2017, the Group purchased 32 per cent of the ordinary share capital of CloudCar Inc.
for £12 million.

immaterial equity accounted investments.
The following reconciles the carrying amount of the Group’s interests in equity accounted investments:

Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
Management performed an impairment assessment as at 31 March 2019. The recoverable value was determined
based on value in use (“VIU”), which was marginally higher than the fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCD”) of the
relevant assets of the CGU. The recoverable amount was lower than the carrying value of the CGU, and this resulted in
an exceptional impairment charge of £3,105 million being recognised within “Other expenses” as at 31 March 2019.
The directors’ approach and key (unobservable) assumptions used to determine the Group’s CGU VIU were as follows:
The Group has considered it appropriate to undertake the impairment assessment with reference to the latest business
plan, which includes a five-year cash flow forecast as approved by the JLR plc Board. The growth rates used in the
VIU calculation reflect those inherent within the Group’s business plan as approved by the JLR plc Board, which is
primarily a function of the Group’s cycle plan assumptions, past performance and management’s expectation of future
market developments through to 2023/24. The future cash flows consider potential risks given the current economic
environment and key assumptions such as sales volume forecasts and margins. The Group has assessed the potential
impacts of changes, if any, in tax and treaty arrangements globally, including Brexit and the US tariffs. The potential
impact of reasonably possible outcomes of these events has been included in the VIU calculations.
The cash flows for the year 2023/24 are extrapolated into perpetuity assuming a long-term growth rate as stated
above, which is set with reference to weighted-average GDP growth of the countries in which the Group operates.
The impairment loss of £3,105 million has been allocated initially against goodwill of £1 million and the relevant
assets, and thereafter the residual amount has been allocated on a pro-rated basis. This has resulted in £1,396 million
allocated against tangible assets and £1,709 million allocated against intangible assets.

At 31 March 2019, deferred tax assets of £512 million (2018: £413 million, 2017: £511 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 2019, the Group had unused tax losses and other temporary differences amounting to £1,599 million (2018: £117 million, 2017:
£104 million), for which no deferred tax asset arises. As at 31 March 2019, £4 million (2018: £3 million, 2017: £3 million) of those tax losses are
subject to expiry in future periods, with £3 million due to expire in fiscal year 2031. The remaining balance is not expected to expire.
All deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at 31 March 2019, 2018 and 2017 are presented as non-current.

PRO D U C T WA R R A N T Y PROV I S I O N
The Group offers warranty cover in respect of manufacturing defects, which become apparent one to five years after
purchase, dependent on the market in which the purchase occurred and the vehicle purchased. The estimated liability for
product warranty is recognised when products are sold or when new warranty programmes are initiated. These estimates
are established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and management
estimates regarding possible future warranty claims, customer goodwill and recall complaints. 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 timing of outflows will vary as and when a warranty claim will arise, being typically up to five years.
E N V I R O N M E N TA L L I A B I L I T Y P R O V I S I O N
This provision relates to various environmental remediation costs such as asbestos removal and land clean-up. The

32 Employee benefits
The Group operates defined benefit pension schemes for qualifying employees of certain of its subsidiaries. The UK
defined benefit schemes are administered by a trustee with assets held in a trust that are legally separate from the
Group. The trustee of the pension schemes is required by law to act in the interest of the fund 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.
156 JAG U A R L A N D ROV E R A U TO M OT I V E PLC A N N U A L R E P O RT 2018 /19
Through its defined benefit pension schemes, the Group is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which
are detailed below.
A S S E T V O L AT I L I T Y
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 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 that better
match the liabilities.
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.
I N F L AT I O N R I S K
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 also create a deficit or increase the existing deficit to some degree.
L I F E E X P E C TA N C Y
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.
The following tables set out the disclosures pertaining to the retirement benefit amounts recognised in the consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 19:

The most recent valuations of the defined benefit schemes for accounting purposes were carried out at 31 March 2019
by a qualified independent actuary. 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.

For the valuation at 31 March 2019, the mortality assumptions used are the SAPS base table, in particular S2PxA tables
and the Light table for members of the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan.
For the Jaguar Pension Plan, scaling factors of 112 per cent to 118 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 112 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 valuation at 31 March 2018, the mortality assumptions used are the SAPS base table, in particular S2PxA tables
and the Light table for members of the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan.
For the Jaguar Pension Plan, scaling factors of 113 per cent to 119 per cent have been used for male members and
scaling factors of 102 per cent to 114 per cent have been used for female members.
For the Land Rover Pension Scheme, scaling factors of 108 per cent to 113 per cent have been used for male members
and scaling factors of 102 per cent to 111 per cent have been used for female members.
For the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan, an average scaling factor of 95 per cent has been used for male members and an
average scaling factor of 85 per cent has been used for female members.
For the valuation at 31 March 2017, the mortality assumptions used are the SAPS base table, in particular S2NxA
tables and the Light table for members of the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan. A scaling factor of 120 per cent for males
and 110 per cent for females has been used for the Jaguar Pension Plan, 115 per cent for males and 105 per cent
for females for the Land Rover Pension Scheme, and 95 per cent for males and 85 per cent for females for the Jaguar
Executive Pension Plan.
There is an allowance for future improvements in line with the CMI (2018) projections and an allowance for long-term
improvements of 1.25 per cent per annum (2018: CMI (2017) projections with 1.25 per cent per annum improvements,
2017: CMI (2014) projections with 1.25 per cent per annum improvements).
A past service cost of £42 million has been recognised in the year ended 31 March 2019. This reflects a plan amendment
for certain members as part of the Group restructuring programme (see note 4) and a past service cost following a
High Court ruling in October 2018. As a result of the ruling, pension schemes are required to equalise male and female
members’ benefits for the inequalities within guaranteed minimum pension earned between 17 May 1990 and 5 April
1997. The Group historically made no assumptions for guaranteed minimum pension and therefore has considered the
change to be a plan amendment.

Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
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.
The fair value of schemes’ assets is represented by the following major categories:
The split of Level 1 assets is 62 per cent (2018: 71 per cent, 2017: 66 per cent), Level 2 assets 24 per cent (2018: 20 per
cent, 2017: 27 per cent) and Level 3 assets 14 per cent (2018: 9 per cent, 2017: 7 per cent). Private market holdings are
classified as Level 3 instruments. For this purpose, each element of the Repo transactions is included separately.
Jaguar Land Rover contributes towards the UK defined benefit schemes. The 5 April 2018 valuations were completed
in December 2018. As a result of these valuations it is intended to eliminate the pension scheme funding deficits over
the 10 years to 31 March 2028. There is currently no additional liability over the projected benefit obligation (based on
current legal advice the Group will not be required to recognise an additional obligation in the future). In line with the
schedule of contributions agreed following the 2018 statutory valuation, the current ongoing Group contribution rate
for defined benefit accrual has reduced to c.22 per cent of pensionable salaries in the UK reflecting the 2017 benefit
restructure. Deficit contributions are paid in line with the updated schedule of contributions at a rate of £60 million per
year until 31 March 2024 followed by £25 million per year until 31 March 2028.
The average duration of the benefit obligations at 31 March 2019 is 19.0 years (2018: 20.4 years, 2017: 21.6 years).
The expected net periodic pension cost for the year ended 31 March 2020 is £166 million. The Group expects to pay
£223 million to its defined benefit schemes, in total, for the year ended 31 March 2020.
The following is a description of claims and contingencies where a potential loss is possible but not probable.
Management believes that none of the contingencies described below, either individually or in aggregate, would have a
material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
L I T I G AT I O N A N D P R O D U C T I O N M AT T E R S
The Group is involved in legal proceedings, both as plaintiff and as defendant. There are claims and potential claims of
£17 million (2018: £17 million, 2017: £7 million) against the Group that management has not recognised as settlement
is not considered probable. These claims and potential claims pertain to motor accident claims, consumer complaints,
employment and dealership arrangements, replacement of parts of vehicles and/or compensation for deficiency in the
services provided by the Group or its dealers.
The Group has provided for the estimated cost of repair following the passenger safety airbag issue in the United States,
China, Canada, Korea, Australia and Japan. The Group recognises that there is a potential risk of further recalls in the
future; however, at present the Group has assessed the risk as remote.
O T H E R TA X E S A N D D U T I E S
Contingencies and commitments include tax contingent liabilities of £41 million (2018: £42 million, 2017: £nil). These
mainly relate to tax audits and tax litigation claims.

Commitments and contingencies also includes other contingent liabilities of £222 million (2018: £149 million, 2017:
£82 million). The timing of any outflow will vary as and when claims are received and settled, which is not known
with certainty.
The remaining financial commitments, in particular the purchase commitments and guarantees, are of a magnitude
typical for the industry.
Inventory of £nil (2018, 2017: £nil), trade receivables with a carrying amount of £114 million (2018: £155 million, 2017:
£179 million), property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of £nil (2018, 2017: £nil) and restricted cash with a
carrying amount of £nil (2018, 2017: £nil) are pledged as collateral/security against the borrowings and commitments.
Stipulated within the joint venture agreement for Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Co. Ltd. is a commitment for the
Group to contribute a total of CNY 3,500 million of capital, of which CNY 2,875 million has been contributed as at
31 March 2019. The outstanding commitment of CNY 625 million translates to £71 million at 31 March 2019 exchange rate.
The Group’s share of capital commitments of its joint venture at 31 March 2019 is £151 million (2018: £159 million,
2017: £171 million) and contingent liabilities of its joint venture 31 March 2019 is £nil (2018: £1 million, 2017: £3 million).
34 Capital management
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 JLR plc Board to ensure sufficient
liquidity is maintained by the Group. All debt issuance and capital distributions are approved by the JLR plc Board.

35 Financial instruments
This section gives an overview of the significance of financial instruments for the Group 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, financial liability and
equity instrument, are disclosed in note 2.
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair value of each category of financial assets and liabilities as at
31 March 2018 under IAS 39:
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.
The following table discloses the amounts that have been offset in arriving at the consolidated balance sheet
presentation and the amounts that are available for offset only under certain conditions as at 31 March 2019:
The following table discloses the amounts that have been offset in arriving at the consolidated balance sheet
presentation and the amounts that are available for offset only under certain conditions as at 31 March 2018:
Of the financial assets held at 31 March 2019 and classified as Level 3, 91 per cent (2018: 97 per cent, 2017: 100 per
cent) were valued using recent transaction values and 9 per cent (2018: 3 per cent, 2017: nil per cent) were valued
using an alternative technique.
There has been no change in the valuation techniques adopted in either current or prior financial years as presented.
The investment in Lyft, Inc. (note 15) has transferred from Level 3 to Level 1 as a result of the Lyft, Inc. initial public
offering on 29 March 2019. There were no transfers between fair value levels in prior financial years.
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 and interbank borrowing rates (“LIBOR”).
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.
F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 165
Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, trade receivables and payables, short-term borrowings
other than unsecured listed bonds and other financial assets and liabilities (current and non-current excluding
derivatives) are assumed to approximate to cost due to the short-term maturing of the instruments and as the impact
of discounting is not significant.
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 as at 31 March 2019 is £46 million (2018 and 2017: £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 2019 is
£23 million (2018: £28 million, 2017: £1 million). The fair value gain recognised in the consolidated income statement
for the Level 3 investments for the year ended 31 March 2019 is £2 million (2018: £2 million, 2017: £nil).
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 2019, 2018 and 2017
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.

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.

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 JLR
plc Board 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 denominated fixed-
rate debt to GBP floating-rate debt. The derivative instruments and the foreign currency fixed-rate debt are designated
in fair value and cash flow hedging relationships. As at 31 March 2019, the carrying amount of these derivative
instruments was a liability of £4 million (2018: £29 million, 2017: £nil). Further detail is given in section (C) below.
F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 167
Notes to the consolidated
financial statements
As at 31 March 2019, short-term borrowings of £114 million (2018: £155 million, 2017: £179 million) and long-term
borrowings of £768 million (2018: £nil, 2017: £nil) 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 £9 million (2018, 2017: £2 million) in
the consolidated income statement and £nil (2018, 2017: £nil) in other comprehensive income.
The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates has increased during the current year mainly due to the increase in variable-rate
debt instruments.
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.
The following are the undiscounted contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments:
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 JLR plc Board 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 2019 (2018 and 2017: no indications) that defaults in payment
obligations will occur.
The Group has reviewed trade and other receivables not yet due and not impaired and no material issues have been identified. Trade and other
receivables past due and impaired are set out below:
Included within trade receivables is £114 million (2018: £155 million, 2017: £179 million) of receivables that are part of a debt factoring
arrangement. These assets do not qualify for de-recognition due to the recourse arrangements in place. The related liability of £114 million
(2018: £155 million, 2017: £179 million) is in short-term borrowings. Both the asset and associated liability are classified in amortised cost and
other financial liabilities respectively.
( C ) D E R I V AT I V E S A N D H E D G E A C C O U N T I N G
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 long-term borrowings. These instruments are designated in both cash flow and fair value
hedging relationships.
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.

51 Capital management
The Company’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 Company issues debt, primarily in the form of bonds, to meet anticipated funding requirements and maintain
sufficient liquidity. The Company 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 JLR plc Board to ensure sufficient
liquidity is maintained by the Group. All debt issuance and capital distributions are approved by the JLR plc Board.

The details of significant accounting policies, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the

There has been no change in the valuation techniques adopted or any transfers between fair value levels in either
current or prior periods as presented.
Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings and other financial assets and liabilities are assumed to
approximate to cost due to the short-term maturing of the instruments and as the impact of discounting is
not significant.
Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are

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 2019, net financial assets of £503 million (2018: £1,184 million, 2017: £335 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 (2018: £12 million, 2017: £3 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.
