JLR had its most profitable year since 2015 last year off the back of soaring sales for the high-margin Defender and Range Rover model lines.
The firm generated £2.2 billion in profit from a record £29bn in revenues in the 12 months to 31 March 2024. The company's operating margin was 9.2% - a full 2.7 percentage points higher than the previous financial year, which it attributes to increased sales volumes and reduced material costs - though it said this growth was partially offset by a ramp-up in marketing spend.
