A year of red ink, largely uninsured
JLR has booked the cyber costs itself, quarter by quarter. £196 million of exceptional costs appeared in its results for the quarter to September 2025, followed by another £64 million the quarter after. By February 2026, the running total for the incident had reached close to £260 million, on top of a separate £42 million bill for voluntary redundancies. None of the £260 million has come back through an insurer, because there wasn’t one on the hook.
