Executive summary

  • Revenue for the nine months to September 2024 rose 80% year-over-year to £618 million, driven by higher volumes, a refreshed product lineup, and strong demand for models like 750S and Artura, especially in North America and Europe.

  • Wholesale volumes increased 55% year-over-year to 2,429 units, with stable production supporting a full-year forecast of around 3,200 vehicles, the highest since 2019.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
