Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations

Continued challenging market conditions in China resulted in a weaker third quarter for Jaguar Land Rover with revenue of £6.2 billion and a loss before tax and exceptional items of £273 million.

Given the muted demand scenario and the associated impact on the financials, JLR has concluded that the carrying value of capitalized investments should be adjusted down, resulting in a £3.1 billion non-cash pre-tax exceptional charge.

Key metrics for Q3 FY19 results, compared to Q3 FY18, are as follows:

 

   

Retail sales of 144.6k units (including the China JV), down 6.4%

 

   

Wholesales of 141.6k units (including the China JV), down 11.0%

 

   

Revenue of £6.2 billion, down from £6.3 billion

 

   

Loss before tax and exceptional items £273 million, down from PBT of £190 million

 

   

Loss after tax and exceptional items £3.1 billion (primarily the impairment of capitalised investments), down from PAT of £88 million

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.3% and Adjusted EBIT margin was (2.6)%

 

   

Free cash flow was negative £361 million after total product and other investment spending of £1 billion and £130 million of working capital inflows, including £242 million of improvements in inventory

Market environment

 

   

China’s GDP growth slowed to 6.4% in Q3 reflecting trade tensions with the US which is impacting consumer confidence and lower automotive industry sales (down 15% year on year).

 

   

US economic growth remained around 3.0% and automotive industry sales were up slightly year on year.

 

   

UK GDP remained weaker at 1.4% in Q3, with inflation of around 2%, as the increasing risk and uncertainty surrounding a disorderly Brexit continues to weigh on the Pound. Auto industry sales were down 3.8%, with diesel sales down 21.3%.

 

   

Growth in Europe slowed to around 1.3% in Q3 reflecting weaker economic performance, including in Germany and Italy. This weaker economic growth and continuing diesel uncertainty is weighing on auto industry sales, down 8.0% year on year in Q3.

Total automotive industry car volumes (units)

The total industry car volume data above has been compiled using relevant data available at the time of publishing this Interim Report, compiled from national automotive associations such as the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders in the UK and the ACEA in Europe, according to their segment definitions, which may differ from those used by JLR.

Jaguar Land Rover Q3 FY19 sales volumes year-on-year performance

Total retail sales were 144,602 units, down 6.4%, reflecting the continuing challenging market conditions in China, where retails were down 47.1%. Sales were also down 5.2% in Overseas markets but JLR outperformed the industry in other regions with significant growth in North America (up 21.1%) and in the UK (up 18.4%) with modest growth in Europe (up 0.3%). Sales of new and refreshed models were up including the Jaguar E-PACE (11.5k units), I-PACE (5.6k units), Range Rover (2.8k units) and Range Rover Sport (3.8k units) but were offset by lower sales of other models largely reflecting the decrease in the China market.

Wholesales (including the China JV) totalled 141,552 units, down 11.0%. By region, wholesales were down in China (52.7%) and Overseas (21.2%) but significantly higher in the UK (16.1%), North America (15.9%) and in Europe (7.0%).

Q3 FY19 revenue and profits

For the quarter ended 31 December 2018, revenue was £6.2 billion with a loss before tax and exceptional items of £273 million, down from a profit before tax of £190 million in Q3 FY18, primarily reflecting:

 

   

17.5k units of lower wholesales (-£160 million), primarily in China, and de-stocking costs (-£82 million)

 

   

Higher incentive spending (£ -21 million) and increased quality costs (-£89 million)

 

   

Non-recurrence of the tax rebate in Q3 FY18 (-£45 million)

 

   

Higher engineering costs (-£17 million)

 

   

Higher depreciation and amortisation (-£52 million)

 

   

Unfavourable FX, commodities and other (-£16 million)

 

   

Charge savings starting to come through (+£40 million)

After exceptional items (primarily the £3.1 billion impairment) the loss before tax was £3.4 billion and the loss after tax was £3.1 billion, compared to PAT of £88 million in Q3 FY18.

Adjusted EBITDA was £455 million (7.3% margin) compared to £685 million (10.9% margin) in Q3 last year. The loss before interest and tax (Adjusted EBIT) was £(159) million (-2.6% Adjusted EBIT margin) versus Adjusted EBIT of £164 million (2.6% margin) in Q3 FY18.

Revenue was £17.1 billion in the 9 months to 31 December 2018 compared to £18.2 billion for the same period last year, generating a loss before tax and exceptional items of £627 million compared to a profit before tax and exceptional items of £705 million in the prior period. Including exceptional items the loss before tax for the 9 months to 31 December 2018 was £3.7 billion, compared to PBT of £1.1 billion (which included a £437 million one-off pension credit) for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for 9M FY19 was £1.3 billion (7.6% margin) compared to £1.9 billion (10.3% margin) for the prior period, and the loss before interest and tax (Adjusted EBIT) was £391 million (-2.3% margin), compared to an Adjusted EBIT of £562 million (3.1% margin) for the same period last year. The loss after tax and exceptional items in 9M FY19 was £3.7 billion compared to a profit after tax and exceptional items of £846 million in 9M FY18 (which included a £437 million one-off pension credit).

Cash flow, liquidity and capital resources

Q3 FY19 free cash flow was negative £361 million after £1 billion of total product and other investment spending and £130 million of working capital inflows, including £242 million in inventory improvements. Of the investment spending £907 million was capitalised and £113 million was expensed through the income statement.

Cash and financial deposits at 31 December 2018 stood at £2.5 billion (comprising £1.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents and £0.8 billion of short term deposits and other investments) after the £361 million negative free cash flow, proceeds from the $1 billion syndicated loan and repayment of a $700 million bond. The cash and financial deposits include an amount of £303 million held in subsidiaries of Jaguar Land Rover outside of the United Kingdom. The cash in some of these jurisdictions is subject to impediments to remitting cash to the UK other than through annual dividends. As at 31 December 2018, the Company also had an undrawn revolving credit facility totalling £1.9 billion, maturing in July 2022, and £41 million equivalent for an unutilised short-term uncommitted receivable factoring facility.

Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial information in these interim financial statements is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ under International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as adopted by the European Union (‘EU’). The balance sheet and accompanying notes as at 31 December 2017 have been disclosed solely for the information of the users.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments held at fair value as highlighted in note 19.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as set out within the directors’ report of the Group’s Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2018.

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018, as described in those financial statements except as described below.

Change in accounting policies

The Group has had to change its accounting policy and make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting the following new standards:

 

   

IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’

 

   

IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’

The impact of the adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies are disclosed in note 2.

Estimates and judgements

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimate uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018.

Note 14 provides further details of the exceptional impairment charge recognised in the three month period ended 31 December 2018, including disclosing additional sensitivities performed. In undertaking the impairment review, the following judgements, estimates and assumptions were considered:

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 which generate specific cash flows that are independent of the inflows generated by other assets or groups of assets.

Impairment of intangible and tangible fixed assets: The Group tests annually whether indefinite-lived intangible fixed assets have suffered any impairment, or on a more frequent basis if an indicator of impairment is identified. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is based on the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs 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 14.

Change in accounting policies

This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers on the Group’s financial statements which have been applied from 1 April 2018.

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 which are not equity accounted are valued at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group has undertaken an assessment of the impairment provisions, especially with regards to trade receivables and has applied the simplified approach under the standard. For all principal markets, the Group operates with major financial institutions who take on the principal risks of sales to customers and consequently the Group receive full payment for these receivables between 0–30 days. Therefore the Group has concluded that there is no material impact under the standard for remeasurement of impairment provisions.

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 included in the foreign exchange forwards and cross-currency interest rate swaps. The time value of foreign exchange options and the foreign currency basis included in the foreign exchange forwards and cross-currency interest rate swaps is now recorded in a separate component of the statement of comprehensive income. Foreign exchange gains/(losses) for 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. A transition adjustment has been recognised for this.

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 voluntarily application for foreign currency basis included in the foreign exchange forwards and cross-currency interest rate swaps. Accordingly, the information presented for prior periods is not wholly comparable to the information presented for current year. The financial impact of this change is as follows:

 

Balance sheet item

(£ millions)

  

Change as at 31 March 2018 as a

result of adoption of IFRS 9

  

Reason for change

Retained earnings

   (22)    Time value of options recognised in Cost of Hedge Reserve as per IFRS 9.

Hedge reserve

   64    Basis spread adjustment recognised as a separate component of OCI.

Cost of hedge reserve

   (46)   

Time value of options and basis

spread adjustment recognised as a separate component of OCI.

In addition, 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.

The income statement impact for the adoption of IFRS 9 was a reduction in ‘profit before tax’ of £29 million and a £23 million reduction in ‘profit after tax’ for the 9 month period ended 31 December 2017.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers replaces IAS 18 Revenue and IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations (such as IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes).

The Group has applied the modified retrospective application approach and has not restated prior comparative financial information.

The primary impact on the Group relates to consideration payable to customers, which the standard defines as discounts, rebates, refunds or other forms of disbursement to customers (such as retailers) or end customers (as part of the overall distribution chain), where a service is not received in return and, if a service is received in return, where it cannot be fair-valued. The treatment of such items is a reclassification of marketing expenses to revenue reductions and this totalled £61 million for the 9 month period ended 31 December 2018.

Change in accounting policies  (continued)

 

Other specific impacts on the Group relates to the treatment of associated vehicle sale performance obligations, and the assessment of principal versus agent in providing or arranging for storage, freight and in-transit insurance alongside the sale of a vehicle. These transport arrangements are made when delivering vehicles to retailers across the global network. The Group has determined that it is an agent in providing these services, and has amended the presentation of these amounts from a gross basis (i.e. revenues and costs separately) to a net basis (where consideration received will be presented net of associated costs in the income statement). The financial impact of this change is a reclassification of costs against revenue of £245 million for the 9 month period ended 31 December 2018.

The Group has reclassified royalty income and incremental income from customers from ‘Other income’ to ‘Revenue’ and this totalled £92 million for the 9 month period ended 31 December 2018. The result of the changes discussed above has not materially impacted profit before tax or the Group’s adjusted EBIT for the 9 month period ended 31 December 2018.

Alternative Performance Measures

In reporting financial information, the Group presents alternative performance measures (‘APMs’) which are not defined or specified under the requirements of IFRS. The Group believes that these APMs, which are not considered to be a substitute for or superior to IFRS measures, provide stakeholders with additional helpful information on the performance of the business.

The APMs used within this Annual Report are defined below.

 

Alternative Performance Measure

  

Definition

Adjusted EBITDA

   Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit before income tax expense, exceptional items, defined benefit pension past service cost/credit, finance expense (net of capitalised interest), finance income, gains/losses on unrealised derivatives and debt, gains/losses on realised derivatives entered into for the purpose of hedging debt, share of profit/loss from equity accounted investments, depreciation and amortisation.

Adjusted EBIT

   Adjusted EBIT is defined as for adjusted EBITDA but including share of profit/loss from equity accounted investments, depreciation and amortisation.

Free cash flow

   Net cash generated from operating activities less net cash used in investing activities (excluding movements in short-term deposits) and after finance expenses and fees and payments of lease obligations. Free cash flow before financing also includes foreign exchange gains/losses on short-term deposits and cash and cash equivalents.

Total product and other investment

   Cash used in the purchase of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, investments in equity accounted investments and other trading investments, acquisition of subsidiaries and expensed research and development costs.

Operating cash flow before investment

   Free cash flow before financing excluding total product and other investment.

Working capital

   Changes in assets and liabilities as presented in note 25. This comprises movements in assets and liabilities excluding movements relating to financing or investing cash flows or non-cash items that are not included in adjusted EBIT or adjusted EBITDA.

Retail sales

   Jaguar Land Rover retail sales represent vehicle sales made by dealers to end customers and include the sale of vehicles produced by our Chinese joint venture, Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.

Wholesale sales

   Wholesales represent vehicle sales made to dealers. The Group recognises revenue on wholesales.

The Group uses adjusted EBITDA as an APM to review and measure the underlying profitability of the Group on an ongoing basis for comparability as it recognises that increased capital expenditure year-on-year will lead to a corresponding increase in depreciation and amortisation expense recognised within the consolidated income statement.

The Group uses adjusted EBIT as an APM to review and measure the underlying profitability of the Group on an ongoing basis as this excludes volatility on unrealised foreign exchange transactions. Due to the significant level of debt and currency derivatives, unrealised foreign exchange distorts the financial performance of the Group from one period to another.

Alternative Performance Measures  (continued)

 

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 on the next pages.

Taxation

Recognised in the income statement

Income tax for the nine month periods ended 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017 is charged at the estimated effective tax rate expected to apply for the applicable financial year ends.

The income tax expense for the nine month period ended 31 December 2018 includes a net tax credit on the exceptional item, as highlighted in note 4, of £248 million. This includes £476 million tax credit relating to the impairment of fixed assets and £228 million tax charge relating to a consequential adjustment to the value of deferred tax assets arising in relation to tax losses.

 

13

Capital expenditure

Capital expenditure in the nine month period was £1,296 million (nine month period to 31 December 2017: £1,852 million) on property, plant and equipment and £1,306 million (nine month period to 31 December 2017: £1,226 million) was capitalised as intangible assets (excluding research and development expenditure credits). £18 million of heritage assets have been written down during the nine month period ended 31 December 2018 (nine month period to 31 December 2017: £nil). There were no material disposals or change in the use of assets, except for the impairment of fixed assets disclosed in note 14.

Intangible assets

Impairment testing

The directors are of the view that the operations of the Group represent a single cash-generating unit (‘CGU’). The directors have assessed the recoverable amount of the CGU due to changes in market conditions especially in China, technology disruptions and rising cost of debt as at 31 December 2018 as the higher of Fair Value Less Cost of Disposal (‘FVLCD’) and Value in Use (‘VIU’) of the relevant assets of the CGU. The higher valuation of FVLCD as at 31 December 2018 is considered to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13 (Entity’s own data including available market participants information) due to unobservable inputs used in the valuation. The difference between FVLCD and VIU was minimal.

This has resulted in an exceptional impairment charge of £3,105m being recognised within ‘Other expenses’ for the period ended 31 December 2018. As at 31 December 2018, the recoverable amount of the relevant CGU assets was £8,775m.

No impairment review was considered necessary for the comparative period ended 31 December 2017. For the year ended 31 March 2018, the group performed an impairment review with reference to its VIU and this resulted in no impairment charge. Key assumptions applied in the VIU model are disclosed in the 2018 Annual Report which is published on the Group’s website.

The directors’ approach and key (unobservable) assumptions used to determine the Group’s CGU FVLCD were as follows:

 

   

The Group has considered it appropriate to undertake the impairment assessment with reference to the latest 5 year cash flow forecast as approved by the JLR plc Board. The cash flow forecast is based on a lower volume growth assumption over the business planning period together with a conservative margin assumptions.

 

   

The business plan also considered other key assumptions, such as volume forecasts, production capacity and fixed costs.

 

   

The cash flows have been adjusted further to reflect the normalised capitalisation of research and development expenditure as seen by other peer premium automotive companies, and the terminal value has been calculated using an adjusted EBITDA multiple which the directors consider to be reflective of the long term core value of Group. The multiple has been derived based upon a comparison of the average Enterprise Value/EBITDA multiples over peer automotive companies over a nine year period.

 

   

A discount rate of 9.7% (pre-tax WACC of 12.3%) has then been applied to the resulting cash flows to calculate FVLCD.

 

   

The cost of disposal (£44m) has been calculated as 0.5% of the calculated fair value based upon a reasonable estimate of disposal costs.

Sensitivity to key assumptions

The sensitivity analysis below has been presented in the interests of transparency only.

Sensitivity analysis has been completed on each key assumption in isolation.

 

   

A 1% increase / (decrease) in the discount factor would increase/(decrease) the impairment charge by £374m and (£394m) respectively.

 

   

A 10% increase / (decrease) in the terminal value would (decrease)/increase the impairment charge by (£839m) and £839m respectively.

The impairment loss of £3,105m has been allocated initially against goodwill of £1m and the relevant assets and there after the residual amount has been allocated on a pro-rated basis. This has resulted in £1,548m allocated against tangible assets and £1,557m allocated against intangible assets.

The Group continues to assess and endeavours to take appropriate mitigating actions on the potential impacts of changes, if any, in tax and treaty arrangements globally, including Brexit.

Included in ‘Provisions made during the period’ is £(7) million arising in connection with warranty arrangements with suppliers that are classified in ‘Other financial assets’.

Product warranty provision

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.

Legal and product liability provision

A legal and product liability provision is maintained in respect of compliance with regulations and known litigations that impact the Group. The provision primarily relates to motor accident claims, consumer complaints, dealer terminations, employment cases, personal injury claims and compliance with regulations. The timing of outflows will vary as and when claims are received and settled, which is not known with certainty.

Residual risk provision

In certain markets, the Group is responsible for the residual risk arising on vehicles sold by dealers on leasing arrangements. The provision is based on the latest available market expectations of future residual value trends. The timing of the outflows will be at the end of the lease arrangements, being typically up to three years.

Environmental liability provision

This provision relates to various environmental remediation costs such as asbestos removal and land clean-up. The timing of when these costs will be incurred is not known with certainty.

Other employee benefits obligations

This provision relates to the LTIP scheme for certain employees.

Financial instruments

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments held at fair value. These financial instruments are classified as level 2 fair value measurements, as defined by IFRS 13, being those derived from inputs other than quoted prices which are observable. There have been no changes in the valuation techniques used or transfers between fair value levels from those set out in note 35 to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018.

The following tables show the carrying amounts and fair value of each category of financial assets and liabilities, other than those with carrying amounts that are reasonable approximations of fair values.

Employee benefits  (continued)

 

For the valuations at 31 December 2018 and 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 a scaling factor of 85 per cent has been used for female members.

There is an allowance for future improvements in line with the CMI (2017) projections and an allowance for long-term improvements of 1.25 per cent per annum.

For the valuations at 31 December 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% for males and 110% for females has been used for the Jaguar Pension Plan, 115% for males and 105% for females for the Land Rover Pension Scheme, and 95% for males and 85% for females for the Jaguar Executive Pension Plan. There is an allowance for future improvements in line with the CMI (2014) projections with an allowance for long-term improvements of 1.25% per annum.

The Group noted that on 27 March 2017, a new mortality projection model (CMI (2016)) was released that potentially indicated a small reduction in longevity of, on average, 0.5 years compared to current assumptions. The Group considered adopting the new mortality tables and noted that there was uncertainty about the appropriate level of initial mortality improvements, both for the general population and when applying the model to other populations. On this basis, following discussion with and recommendation by the Group’s pension advisor, it is considered that the CMI (2014) mortality tables represent the Group’s best estimate of the future longevity of its defined benefit schemes’ members both during and after employment as at 31 December 2017.

A past service cost of £17 million has been recognised in the three month period ended 31 December 2018 following a High Court ruling on 26 October 2018 which ruled that 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 GMP and therefore have considered the change to be a plan amendment.

Following consultation with employees, on 3 April 2017, the Group approved and communicated to its defined benefit schemes’ members that the defined benefit schemes’ rules were to be amended with effect from 6 April 2017. As a result, among other changes, future retirement benefits will 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. As a result of the remeasurement of the schemes’ liabilities, a past service credit of £437 million arose and was recognised in the nine month period ended 31 December 2017.

Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Group faces claims and assertions by various parties. The Group assesses such claims and assertions and monitors the legal environment on an ongoing basis, with the assistance of external legal counsel wherever necessary. The Group records a liability for any claims where a potential loss is probable and capable of being estimated and discloses such matters in its financial statements, if material. For potential losses that are considered possible, but not probable, the Group provides disclosure in the consolidated financial statements but does not record a liability unless the loss becomes probable. Such potential losses may be of an uncertain timing and/or amount.

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.

Commitments and contingencies  (continued)

 

Litigation and product related matters

The Group is involved in legal proceedings, both as plaintiff and as defendant. There are claims and potential claims of £16 million (31 March 2018: £17 million, 31 December 2017: £17 million) against the Group which 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 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, the Group is unable at this point in time to reliably estimate the amount and timing of any potential future costs associated with this warranty issue.

Other taxes and duties

Contingencies and commitments include tax contingent liabilities of £42 million (31 March 2018: £42 million, 31 December 2017: £nil). These mainly relate to tax audits and tax litigation claims.

Commitments

The Group has entered into various contracts with vendors and contractors for the acquisition of plant and equipment and various civil contracts of capital nature aggregating to £973 million (31 March 2018: £853 million, 31 December 2017: £995 million) and £15 million (31 March 2018: £15 million, 31 December 2017: £19 million) relating to the acquisition of intangible assets.

Commitments and contingencies also includes other contingent liabilities of £224 million (31 March 2018: £149 million, 31 December 2017: £177 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 (31 March 2018, 31 December 2017: £nil) and trade receivables with a carrying amount of £191 million (31 March 2018: £155 million, 31 December 2017: £163 million) and property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of £nil (31 March 2018, 31 December 2017: £nil) and restricted cash with a carrying amount of £nil (31 March 2018, 31 December 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 December 2018. The outstanding commitment of CNY 625 million translates to £71 million at 31 December 2018 exchange rate.

The Group’s share of capital commitments of its joint venture at 31 December 2018 is £147 million (31 March 2018: £159 million, 31 December 2017: £160 million) and contingent liabilities of its joint venture 31 December 2018 is £nil (31 March 2018: £1 million, 31 December 2017: £3 million).

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.

The following table summarises the capital of the Group:
