It said: “For UK automotive manufacturers, the introduction of a US tariff quota mechanism adds a further degree of complexity and limits the group’s ability to accurately forecast for this financial year end and, potentially, quarterly from 2026 onwards.
“The group continues to engage with both the US and UK governments to secure greater clarity and certainty.”
Aston Martin said while “positive dialogue” had been achieved with the US government directly, the firm was still seeking proactive support from the UK.
It hopes that profitability and free cash flow will “materially” improve in 2025-26 as it cuts costs and ramps up delayed production of its Valhalla model – the group’s first plug-in hybrid mid-engine supercar.
In February, before tariffs were announced, Aston Martin cut 170 jobs after seeing losses widen by a fifth last year and debts pile up.
Its results for the first half of 2025 showed core profitability (EBIT) slumped to £121m, compared with £99.8m in the same period of 2024.
