YoY. US retails declined 19% YoY. Asia Pacific posted a strong growth in October
month with volumes rising by 21.5% YoY.
Jaguar retail sales declined across portfolio except F-type, resulting in overall Jaguar

Commenting on the July retail performance Andy Goss, Jaguar Land Rover Group Sales
Operations Director said: “During a competitive year for premium car sales, I am
delighted to see strong demand for our products and that we are still performing well
across many of our key markets. Calendar year to date Jaguar Land Rover has
delivered solid growth, up an impressive 11% versus last year.”
JLR’s whole volumes have been impacted due to several transitory events including a)
brownfield capacity expansion at Solihull (by Dec-14) impacting production at existing
lines, b) captive engine plant (started in Oct-14), c) China Chery JV plant (started in
Oct-14) resulting in gradual transition of manufacturing of select products from UK to
China, d) Launch of Discovery Sport (phasing out of Free Lander 2), and e) Jaguar XE
launch (4QFY15). We expect JLR’s wholesale volumes to normalize from 4QFY15
onwards.
The stock trades at 8.3x/6.2x FY15/FY16 consol EPS of INR63/84. Maintain Buy with TP
of INR620 (FY16 SOTP-based) for ordinary shares and INR433 for DVR (~30% discount
to TP for ordinary shares).
