Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is reporting a 20.3% surge in sales for the second quarter of its fiscal year and a return to profit.
In the three months to September 30 JLR’s revenues totalled £5.9bn and for the half year to date that figure is 3.2% higher year-on-year at £11.9bn. Pre-tax profits for the quarter totalled £6m against a loss of £485m in the same period last year.
These latest figures indicate JLR is finally showing signs of recovery from the devastating cyber attack in 2025 in autumn 2025 which shut down production at multiple sites including Halewood in Merseyside where around 3,500 people are employed.
During the quarter JLR launched three new luxury electric vehicles including the Range Rover Electric, Range Rover Sport Electric and Jaguar Type 01. Deliveries are set to begin from early 2027.
It launched the Jaguar Type 01, which it claims will be the “most technically advanced, powerful and aerodynamic Jaguar ever engineered” in a blaze of publicity in New York. Workers at Halewood will help build the £130,000 vehicle.

JLR chief executive PB Balaji said: “JLR delivered positive operational profits in the second quarter and first half of the financial year, despite ongoing global challenges.
“We launched three new products… This, together with our growth plans for the US and disciplined execution of the Enterprise Missions to reduce our breakeven volumes to 300,000 units, positions us well to deliver consistent, cash‑accretive growth in the coming years.”
