Aston Martin has secured a new £550m debt financing package as the luxury car manufacturer looks to strengthen its financial position and support future product development.
The funding, arranged by HPS Investment, consists of a £450m senior secured term loan, backed by specific company assets, alongside a £100m delayed draw term loan that can be accessed as required.
The announcement comes after a difficult period for the Gaydon-based manufacturer. In March, Aston Martin confirmed plans to cut around 600 jobs – primarily in the UK – as part of a restructuring programme expected to deliver annual savings of around £40m.
The company also reported a 50% increase in full-year net losses to £493.2m, blaming weaker demand in China and the impact of US tariffs on its performance. Analysts have noted that Aston Martin has faced increasing pressure in the highly competitive global luxury car market, where softer consumer demand has weighed on sales.
Aston Martin said the latest financing would strengthen its balance sheet and provide greater flexibility to deliver its current and future product strategy.
Chief financial officer Doug Lafferty said: “This new £550m debt financing significantly strengthens our liquidity, providing us with both additional resilience and further flexibility to execute our current and future product plans.”
The company is due to publish its half-year financial results on 29 July, when investors will be looking for further evidence that its cost-cutting measures and new funding are beginning to stabilise the business.
