1% quarterly increase, according to the company. This rebound follows a cyberattack at the end of August, which forced JLR to close all of its manufacturing sites, as reported by multiple media sources. The company's chief executive, P.
B. Balaji, stated in an official statement that the final quarter of 2025 had been challenging but that the company was focused on building its business back stronger, according to the company. According to major media reports, JLR did not restart production until early October and only returned to normal levels by mid-November.
5 billion and posted a £310 million loss, as detailed by those sources. JLR's production is now at normal levels following the cyber incident, according to the same reports. 5% on the same quarter a year ago, the company said.
As anticipated.
JLR's sales to dealerships were down in all markets aside from Europe, according to the company. 8% in China compared to the same quarter a year ago, as reported by JLR. 3% in the same quarter last year, according to JLR.
The company described this shift as occurring as anticipated in an official statement, according to the company. The drop in JLR's full-year volumes was affected by the cyberattack, as well as the impact of US tariffs, market challenges in China, and the planned wind-down of legacy Jaguar models, JLR said. The exact financial impact of the cyberattack on JLR's annual revenue and profit remains unclear, as does the timeline for the planned wind-down of legacy Jaguar models and the significance of the impact of US tariffs on JLR's overall sales performance.
In a new setback, JLR was forced to temporarily halt production at its biggest car factory due to a shortage of parts after a major supplier in Norway suffered a factory fire, according to major media reports. JLR told suppliers it will pause production of Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models at the Solihull plant in the West Midlands until April 8, inclusive of a planned five-day shutdown for the Easter bank holiday weekend, as reported by those sources. How long the production halt at the Solihull plant will last beyond April 8 is not specified, and what specific measures JLR is taking to prevent future cyber attacks also remains unknown.
