The company’s operating profit for the period was €216 million, a figure that includes the effects of several accounting adjustments and impacts from external trade and foreign exchange. Revenue reached €2.6 billion, influenced by pricing strategies, the mix of vehicle models sold, and demand for bespoke Mulliner personalizations. Overall revenue saw a one percent decrease, which the company attributes to its market pricing and value from sales.
(Crewe, 17 March 2026) Bentley Motors announced its financials, marking seven years of profitability. The company notes that its performance comes during a period of investment in its Pyms Lane site for electrification.
While the main financial figures were affected by external factors, the company reported that its core business was steady. There was a five percent drop in customer deliveries, mainly due to a market slowdown in China. However, an increase in sales of higher-margin models and personalized vehicles resulted in only a one percent fall in revenue. The Bentayga model continues to be the top seller for Bentley.
The company’s revenue of €2.6 billion was supported by pricing, the types of models sold, and more customers choosing Mulliner customizations. This strategy reflects a focus on the value of each car sold over the total number of cars.
The reported operating profit was €216 million, with an operating return on sales of 8.3 percent. This result was impacted by costs related to the Volkswagen Group’s decision to discontinue a specific vehicle platform, as well as by U.S. tariffs and foreign exchange rates.
The company’s financial results support its Beyond100+ strategy, which includes funding for site infrastructure and future vehicle development. In 2025, Bentley introduced new hybrid V8 versions of its Continental GT and Flying Spur models. The Bentayga Speed also entered several key markets. The recently introduced Supersports model has been fully allocated to customers, with deliveries expected to start later this year.
As part of its operational planning, Bentley will begin a consultation program that could lead to the removal of 275 positions in management, agency, and non-manufacturing roles. The company stated it is committed to supporting the affected employees.
Frank-Steffen Walliser, the Chairman and CEO, described 2025 as a year of preparation for the next generation of vehicles, including an all-electric model. He noted investments in the Pyms Lane site, such as the new Design Centre, the nearly finished BEV production building, and a new Paint Shop opening later this year. He also acknowledged the organizational adjustments, stating, “we are making some difficult decisions to ensure the long-term competitiveness of the business… we are committed to supporting each individual with care, guidance and assistance throughout this transition.”
Work is ongoing to transform the Pyms Lane factory for BEV production. This includes converting the site’s oldest building, A1, into the future assembly line for electric vehicles. These investments are part of the company’s Beyond100+ strategy.
