Aston Martin Faces £110M Loss in 2025 Amid Tariffs and Supply Chain Woes
October 6, 2025
In Q3, Aston Martin raised approximately £108 million by selling shares in AMR GP, strengthening its liquidity to about £250 million.
The company has announced a revision of its product cycle and cost plans, with reduced investments in engineering and development through 2029, amid ongoing difficulties related to US quota systems.
Management has ordered an immediate review of future costs and capital investments, leading to a planned reduction of around £2 billion in investments from 2025 to 2029.
Aston Martin expects its 2025 adjusted EBIT to fall below market consensus, with no positive free cash flow anticipated in the second half, reflecting the financial pressures from tariffs and supply chain issues.
Production of the Valhalla model began in Q3, with deliveries scheduled for Q4, but delays caused by engineering finalizations, regulatory hurdles, and US government-related risks.
Aston Martin is projecting a significant loss exceeding £110 million for 2025, primarily due to US tariffs and ongoing supply chain disruptions, marking a downward revision from earlier forecasts.
The company is actively engaging with US and UK governments to seek clarity and support, emphasizing the importance of protecting small volume manufacturers and jobs amidst these challenges.
To improve profitability and free cash flow in 2025-26, Aston Martin plans to implement cost-cutting measures and increase production of its new Valhalla plug-in hybrid supercar.
Despite a sequential improvement expected in Q4 driven by higher volumes and Valhalla deliveries, the company has reduced its full-year wholesale volume guidance for 2025, especially in North America and Asia-Pacific.
Aston Martin has revised its capital expenditure plan for 2025 to approximately £375 million and aims to cut selling, general, and administrative expenses by around 10% compared to the previous year.
The automaker continues to launch new models, with deliveries of the Vanquish Volante beginning in Q3 and plans for the Vantage S and DBX S in Q4, both receiving positive early media reviews.
Deliveries of the highly anticipated Valhalla hypercar, with around 150 units expected in the fourth quarter, have been delayed due to engineering and regulatory issues, but full production is planned for 2026.
The Valhalla, priced at $1 million, is expected to boost profits once delivered, but delays have reduced initial forecasts from previous plans.
