All elements of the bonus operated independently, and with our FY 2023 Adjusted EBITDA outcome of £306m just ahead of the target set, a payment of 34% of maximum bonus (68% of target) will be paid based on Adjusted EBITDA, wholesale volumes and quality metrics achieved (and no payment with respect to the FCF or retail volumes measures, where outcomes were below the threshold set). Full details of performance against the 2023 annual bonus targets are set out on page 112. Against the backdrop of the overrall business performance for FY 2023, including the strategic milestones and financial progress delivered, the Committee was comfortable that the formulaic outcome was fair and appropriate, therefore no discretion was exercised in relation to the 2023 annual bonus. FY 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) outcome Neither the CEO nor CFO held awards under the 2021 operation of the LTIP, as they were both appointed to their current roles during FY 2022.

The Committee considers the salary levels to be appropriate, as they: T I I ON ON – reflect the experience these executives have as proven talented automotive and manufacturing leaders – value the skills required to deliver the Company’s strategic objectives and financial targets – recognise the size of the task to deliver the turnaround of Aston Martin to achieve its full potential In his role as Executive Chairman, Lawrence Stroll has elected to receive a nominal salary only, of £1 per annum, and receives no other elements of remuneration. PENSION (AUDITED) Each Executive Director receives a cash allowance in lieu of participation in the defined contribution scheme. They receive an allowance of 12% of salary with a deduction for an amount equal to the employer’s National Insurance contribution.

The Group scorecard was cascaded throughout the Company to apply to annual bonus for all T H employees, providing strong alignment of focus. E R INF For 2023, the scorecard was weighted 85% on financial measures (including a 50% weighting on Adjusted EBITDA, 20% on Free Cash Flow and 15% on volumes) and 15% on Quality performance.

      S S TR APPROACH TO 2024 LTIP AWARDS TR A The Committee decided that Adjusted EBITDA continues to be the most appropriate measure of profit for the 2024 LTIP, given market and internal focus on A TE this key metric, which is used to manage the business. The Committee believes strong performance in Adjusted EBITDA is key to delivering strong shareholder TE G G I I C returns. The Adjusted EBITDA targets have been carefully calibrated based on Aston Martin’s latest business plan and external expectations. The range has C R R been set to be stretching (extremely so at the maximum vesting level) yet motivating in the context of our business plan and the continued uncertainty in the E E P current environment. P O O R R T T Relative Total shareholder return (TSR) as the second measure, recognises the importance of shareholder alignment and also the self-calibrating nature of TSR as an objective measure of performance. TSR will be measured on a relative basis, against a select group of luxury companies, which aims to incentivise G further elevation of the Aston Martin brand, by out-performance of these high-end luxury companies. Ultimately, the successful delivery of our business plan G O O VE and strategy (detailed on pages 32 and 33) will be reflected in our Adjusted EBITDA and TSR performance.

This neutralises the dilutive effect of the open offer ensuring the stretch of the targets is maintained, making the revised targets no easier or harder to achieve than when they were originally set. This approach means the CEO’s 2022 LTIP award would continue to meet the incentive objectives for which it was originally granted. The share price performance measure and targets are set out below. 2022 LTIP performance measures and targets (CEO) – Share price performance will be assessed based on the share price of the Company during any period of 30 consecutive days during the performance period (from 13 June 2022 to 12 June 2024) – The shares under the award will commence vesting if the share price exceeds £3.71 and will vest as follows: 2022 LTIP targets Vesting* (as a % of Pre-adjustment Post-adjustment maximum) Share price of the Company to exceed £x for 30 consecutive days Threshold £10 (or less) £3.71 (or less) 0% Maximum £18 £6.67 100% * Vesting will be on a straight-line basis between threshold and maximum ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2023 115

      S S TR CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN TR A In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial A TE statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment of the group and parent company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis TE G G I I C of accounting included the following procedures: C R R E E P – Understanding and walking through management’s process for and controls related to assessing going concern including discussion with management P O O R to ensure all key factors were taken into account; R T – Obtaining management’s going concern assessment, which covers the period to 30 June 2025, and which includes cashflow and liquidity forecasts, T details of facilities available, forecast covenant calculations and the results of management’s downside scenarios, and testing the integrity of the model, G including clerical accuracy; G O – Confirming to the debt agreements both the maturity profile of the debt and the covenants that are required to be met within the going concern period; O VE – Confirming the Group forecasts demonstrate sufÏcient financial resources to repay the current RCF when it matures in August 2025 such that the going VE R R NAN concern period does not need to be extended; NAN – Assessing the reasonableness of forecasts underpinning the going concern model which are based on the Board-approved budget and the Board- C C E approved strategic plan. To do this we specifically considered forecast wholesale volumes compared to historical volumes, current confirmed orders and E competitor volumes, sales margins and capital expenditure plans; – Ensuring that these forecasts appropriately reflect the assessed impact of the current macroeconomic circumstances and the disclosed climate change F F I commitments of the group; I NAN – Analysing the historical accuracy of forecasting by comparing management’s forecasts to actual results, both for 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 as well as NAN C through the subsequent events period and performing inquiries to the date of this report to determine whether forecast cash flows are reliable based on C IAL IAL past experience; S – Considering external factors that could impact liquidity/forecasts including reliance on suppliers, recoverability of debtors, the current macroeconomic S T T A climate, and the threat of potential litigations and claims; A T T E – Considering the downside scenario identified by management in their assessment on pages 147-148, assessing whether there are any other scenarios E M M E which should be considered, and assessing whether the quantum of the impact of the downside scenario modelled in the going concern period is E N N T realistic; T S – Performing reverse stress testing on the going concern model by independently determining what reduction in wholesale volumes would be required S before liquidity would be exhausted. This included comparing this scenario to the downside scenario contemplated by management and considering the F F U likelihood of the events required to exhaust available liquidity; U R R T – Evaluating the Group’s ability to undertake mitigating actions should it experience a severe downside scenario, considering likely achievability of both T H H E timing and quantum particularly with respect to constraining capital spending if required; and E R R INF – Assessing the going concern disclosures in the financial statements to ensure they are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. INF OR We observed that while the group achieved lower than forecast total core wholesale volumes than it was originally targeting in 2023, this was driven by OR M supplier readiness and integration of the new infotainment system impacting the timing of production and the related vehicle wholesale. The forecast core M A A T wholesale volumes for the going concern assessment period are reasonable compared to historic performance and the those reported by comparable T I I ON brands in the luxury automotive sector. We observed in previous periods the control exercised over capital expenditure in comparison to amounts forecast ON which corroborates management’s assertion that in the event of the modelled downside occurring capital expenditure could be deferred. Further, the Group has the borrowings disclosed in note 23 which includes details of the maturities of those facilities. We observed that the group forecasts demonstrate sufÏcient financial resources to repay the current RCF when it matures in August 2025 such that the going concern period does not need to be extended. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and parent company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period to 30 June 2025. In relation to the group and parent company’s reporting on how they have applied the UK Corporate Governance Code, we have nothing material to add or draw attention to in relation to the directors’ statement in the financial statements about whether the directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

We take into account size, risk profile, the organisation of the group and effectiveness of group-wide controls, changes in the business environment, the potential impact of climate change and other factors such C as recent Internal audit results when assessing the level of work to be performed at each component. IAL S T In assessing the risk of material misstatement to the Group financial statements, and to ensure we had adequate quantitative coverage of significant accounts A T in the financial statements, of the 8 reporting components of the Group, we selected 7 components covering entities within the UK, Europe, USA, Japan and E M China, which represent the principal business units within the Group. E N T S Of the 7 components selected, we performed an audit of the complete financial information of four components (“full scope components”) which were selected based on their size or risk characteristics. For the remaining three components (“specific scope components”), we performed audit procedures on specific accounts within that component that we considered had the potential for the greatest impact on the significant accounts in the financial statements F U either because of the size of these accounts or their risk profile. R T H E R The reporting components where we performed audit procedures accounted for 100% (2022: 100%) of the Group’s Adjusted EBITDA, 100% (2022: 100%) of INF the Group’s Revenue and 100% (2022: 100%) of the Group’s Total assets. For the current year, the full scope components contributed 98% (2022: 98%) of the Group’s Adjusted EBITDA, 96% (2022: 97%) of the Group’s Revenue and 98% (2022: 98%) of the Group’s Total assets. The specific scope component OR contributed 2% (2022: 2%) of the Group’s Adjusted EBITDA, 4% (2022: 3%) of the Group’s Revenue and 2% (2022: 2%) of the Group’s Total assets. The audit M A scope of these components may not have included testing of all significant accounts of the component but will have contributed to the coverage of significant T I accounts tested for the Group. ON Of the remaining one components that together represent 0% of the Group’s Adjusted EBITDA, we performed other procedures, including analytical review to respond to any potential risks of material misstatement to the Group financial statements.

      S S TR Involvement with component teams TR A In establishing our overall approach to the Group audit, we determined the type of work that needed to be undertaken at each of the components by us, as A TE TE G the primary audit engagement team, or by component auditors from other EY global network firms operating under our instruction. Of the four full scope G I I C components, audit procedures were performed on three of these directly by the primary audit team. For the three specific scope components, audit C R procedures were performed directly by the primary audit team. For the component not audited by the primary team, we determined the appropriate level of R E E P involvement to enable us to determine that sufÏcient audit evidence had been obtained as a basis for our opinion on the Group as a whole. P O O R R T The Group audit team continued to follow a programme of planned visits that has been designed to ensure that the Senior Statutory Auditor or his designate T visits full scope component audited by the EY global network firm each year. During the current year’s audit cycle, visits were undertaken by the primary audit G team to the component team in China and these visits continued to be conducted virtually in line with prior periods. These sessions involved meeting with our G O O VE local component team to discuss and direct their audit approach, understanding the significant audit findings in response to the key audit matters and VE R reviewing key audit working papers. The primary team interacted regularly with the component team where appropriate during various stages of the audit, R NAN reviewed relevant working papers and were responsible for the scope and direction of the audit process. This, together with the additional procedures NAN performed at Group level, gave us appropriate evidence for our opinion on the Group financial statements. C C E CLIMATE CHANGE E Stakeholders are increasingly interested in how climate change will impact Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc. The Group has determined that the F F I most significant future impacts from climate change on its operations will be from the transition to EV (‘Electric vehicle’) powertrains, managing the financial I NAN impact of increasing carbon related costs in response to changes in legislation and managing the brand/reputational impact of continuing to sell ICE (‘Internal NAN C combustion engine’) powered vehicles in the short to medium term. These are explained on pages 58-63 in the required Task Force On Climate Related C IAL Financial Disclosures and on pages 64-69 in the principal risks and uncertainties. They have also explained their climate commitments on pages 44-49. All of IAL S S these disclosures form part of the “Other information,” rather than the audited financial statements. Our procedures on these unaudited disclosures therefore T T A consisted solely of considering whether they are materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or A T T E otherwise appear to be materially misstated, in line with our responsibilities on “Other information”. E M M E E N N T In planning and performing our audit we assessed the potential impacts of climate change on the Group’s business and any consequential material impact on T S S its financial statements. F F U The Group has explained in Note 1 how they have reflected the impact of climate change in their financial statements including how this aligns with their U R R T commitment to the aspirations of the Paris Agreement to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Significant judgements or estimates relating to climate change T H H E have been factored into the Directors impairment assessments of the carrying value of capitalised development cost intangible assets, parent company E R R INF investment impairment assessment and recoverability of deferred tax assets in the notes to the financial statements. These considerations did not have a INF material impact on the financial reporting judgements and estimates, consistent with the assessment that climate change is not expected to have a significant OR impact on the Group’s going concern assessment to 30 June 2025 nor the viability of the Group over the next five years. OR M M A A T Our audit effort, in considering the impact of climate change on the financial statements, was focused on evaluating management’s assessment of the impact T I I ON ON of climate risk, both physical and transition, managements climate commitments and the effects of material climate risks disclosed on pages 61-62. We focused on whether these have been appropriately reflected in asset values where these are impacted by future cash flows, being the impairment testing of capitalised development costs, impairment of parent company investments and deferred tax asset recoverability and associated sensitivity disclosures (see notes 9 and 13 in the group financial statements and note 3 in the parent company financial statements) following the requirements of UK adopted international accounting standards for the group and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 101 “Reduced Disclosure Framework” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) for the parent company. As part of this evaluation, we performed our own risk assessment, supported by our climate change internal specialists, to determine the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements from climate change which needed to be considered in our audit. We also challenged the Directors’ considerations of climate change risks in their assessment of going concern and viability and associated disclosures. Where considerations of climate change were relevant to our assessment of going concern, these are described above. Based on our work we have considered the impact of climate change on the financial statements to impact certain key audit matters. Details of our procedures and findings are included in our explanation of key audit matters below. ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2023 135

F U R OUR APPLICATION OF MATERIALITY T H We apply the concept of materiality in planning and performing the audit, in evaluating the effect of identified misstatements on the audit and in forming our E R audit opinion. INF Materiality OR M The magnitude of an omission or misstatement that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the A T users of the financial statements. Materiality provides a basis for determining the nature and extent of our audit procedures. I ON We determined materiality for the Group to be £7.5 million (2022: £4.75 million), which is 2.5% (2022: 2.5%) of Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides us with an appropriate basis for materiality as it is a key metric used by investors and management in assessing the performance of the Group. We determined materiality for the Parent Company to be £25.4 million (2022: £30.8 million), which is 1% (2022: 1.5%) of Equity. We have reduced the percentage applied to determine materiality in the current year as a result of the prior year adjustments identified. When auditing balances included within to the Group financial statements we reduced this to the Group materiality. Starting basis Adjustments Materiality – Loss before Tax – £239.8m – Adjusting items – £68.0m – EBITDA – £305.9m – Adjusted net finance – Materiality of £7.5m (2.5% of expense – £92.1m materiality basis) – Depreciation and Amortisation – £385.6m During the course of our audit, we reassessed initial materiality and updated this for actual results. ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2023 138

      S S TR Performance materiality TR A The application of materiality at the individual account or balance level. It is set at an amount to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the A TE aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds materiality. TE G G I I C C R On the basis of our risk assessments, together with our assessment of the Group’s overall control environment, our judgement was that performance R E E P materiality was 50% (2022: 50%) of our planning materiality, namely £3.75m (2022: £2.4m). We have set performance materiality at this percentage due to P O O R the level of audit adjustments identified in the prior year. R T T Audit work at component locations for the purpose of obtaining audit coverage over significant financial statement accounts is undertaken based on a G percentage of total performance materiality. The performance materiality set for each component is based on the relative scale and risk of the component G O to the Group as a whole and our assessment of the risk of misstatement at that component. In the current year, the range of performance materiality allocated O VE VE R to components was £0.75m to £3.7m (2022: £0.47m to £2.4m). R NAN NAN Reporting threshold C C E An amount below which identified misstatements are considered as being clearly trivial. E We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them all uncorrected audit differences in excess of £0.38m (2022: £0.24m), which is set at 5% F F I of planning materiality, as well as differences below that threshold that, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. I NAN NAN C We evaluate any uncorrected misstatements against both the quantitative measures of materiality discussed above and in light of other relevant qualitative C IAL considerations in forming our opinion. IAL S S T T A OTHER INFORMATION A T T E The other information comprises the information included in the annual report set out on pages 1 to 208 other than the financial statements and our auditor’s E M M E report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. E N N T T S S Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. F F U U R R T Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial T H H E statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies E R R INF or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. INF If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required to report that fact. OR OR M We have nothing to report in this regard. M A A T T I I ON OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006 ON In our opinion, the part of the directors’ remuneration report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: – the information given in the strategic report and the directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and – the strategic report and the directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: – adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or – the parent company financial statements and the part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or – certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or – we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA GLOBAL HOLDINGS PLC CONTINUED S CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT TR We have reviewed the directors’ statement in relation to going concern, longer-term viability and that part of the Corporate Governance Statement relating A TE to the group and company’s compliance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code specified for our review by the Listing Rules. G I C Based on the work undertaken as part of our audit, we have concluded that each of the following elements of the Corporate Governance Statement is R E materially consistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit: P O R – Directors’ statement with regards to the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis of accounting and any material uncertainties identified set T out on pages 147-148; – Directors’ explanation as to its assessment of the company’s prospects, the period this assessment covers and why the period is appropriate set out on G O page 70; VE – Director’s statement on whether it has a reasonable expectation that the group will be able to continue in operation and meets its liabilities set out on R pages 70 and 147-148; NAN – Directors’ statement on fair, balanced and understandable set out on pages 100-101 and 129; C – Board’s confirmation that it has carried out a robust assessment of the emerging and principal risks set out on page 102; E – The section of the annual report that describes the review of effectiveness of risk management and internal control systems set out on pages 102-103; – The section describing the work of the audit committee set out on page 98-105. F I RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS NAN As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 129, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial C IAL statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the S preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. T A T In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group and parent company’s ability to continue as a going concern, E M disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the E N group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. T S AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS F Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to U R fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit T H conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are E R considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of INF these financial statements. OR Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud M A Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined T I above, to detect irregularities, including fraud. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one ON resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2023 140

      S S TR However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the company and management. TR A A TE – We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the group and determined that the most significant are TE G G I I C frameworks which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements are those that relate to the reporting framework (UK adopted C R R international accounting standards, FRS 101, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Corporate Governance Code). E E P – We understood how Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management, internal audit, P O O R those responsible for legal and compliance procedures and the company secretary. We corroborated our enquiries through our review of board minutes, R T papers provided to the Audit Committee and correspondence received from regulatory bodies. T – We assessed the susceptibility of the group’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by meeting with G management and internal audit to understand where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud. We also considered performance targets and the G O O VE potential incentives or opportunities to manage earnings or influence the perceptions of analysts. We considered the programmes and controls that the VE R Group has established to address risks identified, or that otherwise prevent, deter and detect fraud; and how senior management monitors those R NAN programs and controls. Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk. These NAN procedures included testing manual journals and were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from material C C E fraud. E – Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved understanding management’s internal controls over compliance with laws and regulations; enquiries of legal counsel, Group management, internal audit, F F I and full and specific scope management; reading internal audit reports and whistleblowing summaries provided to the Audit Committee and performing I NAN focused testing, as referred to in the key audit matters section above. NAN C – Specific enquiries were made with the component team to confirm any non-compliance with laws and regulations and this was reported through their C IAL audit deliverables based on the procedures detailed in the previous paragraph. IAL S S T T A A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at https://www.frc. A T T E org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. E M M E E N N T OTHER MATTERS WE ARE REQUIRED TO ADDRESS T S – Following the recommendation from the audit committee we were appointed by the company on 24 July 2019 to audit the financial statements for the S year ending 31 December 2019 and subsequent financial periods. F F U U R R T The period of total uninterrupted engagement including previous renewals and reappointments is five years, covering the years ending 2019 to 2023.

In the year ended 31 December 2023, the Group incurred further implementation costs for a cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system for which the Group will not own any S Audit of Financial Statements of subsidiaries pursuant to legislation 0.5 0.4 intellectual property. £14.5m (2022: £6.9m) of costs have been incurred in the period under the service contract and expensed to the Consolidated Income Statement during the business Audit-related assurance 0.1 0.1 readiness phase of the project. The project continued to undergo a phased rollout during 2023, which included HR, ordering and dealer management, and limited aspects of purchasing, F following the previous migration of finance in 2022. Due to the infrequent recurrence of such costs and the expected quantum during the implementation phase, these have been separately F U presented as adjusting. The cash impact of this item is a working capital outflow at the time of invoice payment. U Services related to corporate finance transactions – 0.2 R2. On 31 January 2022, the Group closed its Defined Benefit Pension Scheme to future accrual incurring a past service cost of £2.8m. Under the terms of the closure agreement, employees were R T T Research and development expenditure recognised as an expense 30.7 14.1 Hgranted cash payments both in the current year and the following two financial years totalling £8.7m.

The charge associated INF with this portion was £1.0m in the year ended 31 December 2022 and is being accounted for in accordance with IFRS2 as a cash settled share-based payment scheme. A cost of £1.0m in the year ended 31 December 2023 relates to the ongoing minimum guaranteed value which will crystallise in early 2024. 2023 2022 OR 3. During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Group was involved in two High Court cases against entities ultimately owned by a former significant shareholder of the Group. The first OR involved AMMENA, Aston Martin’s distributor in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey region. AMMENA brought a number of claims against the Group, including claims for debts arising £m £m M between 2019-2021 when Aston Martin was acting as AMMENA’s agent and several claims that the Group had acted in bad faith when AMMENA resumed its obligations as distributor. The M A Group successfully defended all the bad faith claims and AMMENA’s 2021 debt claim was dismissed. Aston Martin, however, was unsuccessful in its claim to set off its own counter-claim that A Total research and development expenditure 299.2 246.1 T T I AMMENA (as the region’s distributor) should indemnify the Group in relation to costs incurred in the termination of a retail dealer, so is required to pay AMMENA’s debt claims for 2019 and I Capitalised research and development expenditure (note 12) (268.5) (232.0) ON2020 (totalling £5.3m plus interest of £0.6m). The Group incurred costs of £5.7m in defending AMMENA’s claims and must pay opposition costs of £1.7m. The cash impact of these costs is a ON Research and development expenditure recognised as an expense 30.7 14.1 cash outflow in February 2024 as well as working capital movements during the year ended 31 December 2023 for costs already incurred. The second case involves claims against a retail dealership, which is ultimately owned by entities that are shareholders in one of the Group’s subsidiary entities, including for unpaid debts relating to two agreements from 2015 and 2016. The final judgement has been handed down (and is in AML’s favour on all material issues), but the consequences of that judgement (including quantification of the final judgment sum, interest, and costs) has not yet been determined or ordered by the Court. The Group has incurred costs of £2.7m in the year which in conjunction with the other costs above are considered non-recurring in nature as these are related to historic disputes with former shareholders and not related to the ongoing business of the Group. Whilst disputes and legal proceedings pending are often in the normal course of the Group’s business, in both these cases the opposing party has links to companies that were former significant shareholders of the Group. On that basis the Group has classified these costs as non-recurring in nature. 4. During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Group repaid $121.7m of Second Lien Senior Secured Notes (“SSNs”). In repaying the notes prior to their redemption date, a redemption premium of £8.0m was incurred, of which the cash impact was incurred in the year ended 31 December 2023. Accelerated amortisation of capitalised borrowing costs and discount of £10.1m was recognised which is a non-cash item. In the year ended 31 December 2022, the Group paid down $40.3m of First Lien SSNs and $143.8m of Second Lien SSNs. The early settlement of these notes incurred a redemption premium of £14.3m and transaction fees of £1.9m and resulted in the acceleration of capitalised borrowing costs of £16.4m. The cash impact of the fees and premium are incurred within the year ended 31 December 2022. The acceleration of the borrowing costs is a non-cash item. In order to facilitate the repayment in of the SSNs in 2022, the Group placed a forward currency contract to purchase US dollars. Due to favourable movements in the exchange rates, a gain of £4.1m was realised in the Consolidated Income Statement at the transaction date. The repayment made in 2023 was not hedged. 5. The Group issued Second Lien SSNs during the year ended 31 December 2020 which included detachable warrants classified as a derivative option liability initially valued at £34.6m. The movement in fair value of the liability in the year ended 31 December 2023 resulted in a net loss, including warrant exercises, of £19.0m (2022: gain of £8.4m) being recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. There is no cash impact of this adjustment. 6. In 2023, nil tax has been recognised as an adjusting item (2022: nil tax) which is not in line with the standard rate of income tax for the Group of 23.5% (2022: 19%). This is on the basis that the adjusting items generate net deferred tax assets (specifically unused tax losses and interest amounts disallowed under the corporate interest restriction legislation). These have not been recognised to the extent that sufficient taxable profits are not forecast (under the defined planning cycle applied for the recognition of deferred tax assets) against which the unused tax losses and interest amounts disallowed under the corporate interest restriction legislation would be utilised. Summary of 2022 adjusting items 7. On 14 January 2022, it was announced that Doug Lafferty would be joining the Group as Chief Financial Officer replacing Ken Gregor who stepped down from the Board on 1 May 2022. On 4 May, it was announced that Tobias Moers would be stepping down as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technical Officer. Amedeo Felisa was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Roberto Fedeli was appointed as Chief Technical Officer on the same day. The total cost associated with these changes was £3.5m, of which £1.8m represents joining incentives, £0.7m represents severance (note 6), and £1.0m comprises social security and other costs. Due to the quantum of such costs incurred in the period, they have been separately presented. The cash outflows associated with this expense are expected to be incurred within a period of 12 months from the appointment of each individual.

These SSNs were repaid in December 2020 and hedge accounting was discontinued from the date of repayment. As the forecast transactions are still expected to occur, the amount accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve at the repayment date has been fully released to the Consolidated Income Statement in line with the profile of the US dollar sales to which it related. Hedge accounting The Group is primarily exposed to US dollar currency variations on the sale of vehicles and parts, and Euro currency variations on the purchase of raw material parts and services. As part of its risk management policy, the Group uses derivative financial instruments in the form of currency forward contracts to manage the cash flow risk resulting from these exchange rate movements. The Group had designated the foreign exchange movement on $400m of repaid SSNs as part of a cash flow hedging relationship, to manage the exchange rate risk resulting from forecast US dollar intercompany sales. Together, these are referred to as cash flow hedges. The cash flow hedges give certainty over the transactional values to be recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, and in the case of the forward contracts, certainty around the value of cash flows arising as foreign currencies are exchanged at predetermined rates. The Group hedges significant foreign currency exposures as follows: – Firstly, when practical, with currency forward contracts on a reducing basis with the highest coverage in the year immediately following the year-end date. When practicable, the Group places additional hedges on a regular basis so that the percentage of the foreign currency exposure hedged increases as the time to maturity of the foreign currency exposure reduces. – Secondly, the Group has designated $400m of repaid SSNs as a hedging instrument in respect of $400m of highly probable forecast US dollar sales that are not already hedged with forward contracts. These SSNs were repaid in December 2020. The Group currently has no active currency forward contract cash flow hedges beyond 2024. The Group does not mitigate all transactional foreign currency exposures, with the unhedged proportion converted at exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction.

The amount recorded in the Statement of Financial Position is net of unamortised transaction costs. £4.4m (2022: £5.2m) of the remaining ancillary facility has been utilised through the issuance of letters of credit and guarantees. The RCF attached to the SSNs is available until August 2025. As part of the normal operating cycle of the Group, customers make advanced payments to secure their allocation of Special Vehicles produced in limited numbers. The cash from these advance payments is primarily used to fund upfront costs of the Special Vehicle project, including raw materials and components required in manufacture. In certain circumstances, according to the individual terms of the Special Vehicle contract and the position of the customer in the staged deposit and vehicle specification process, the advanced payments are contractually refundable. At 31 December 2023, the Group held refundable deposits of £132.8m (2022: £102.9m). The Special Vehicle programmes are typically oversubscribed and, in the event that a customer requests reimbursement of their advanced payment, the newly created allocation is then given to an alternative customer, who is required to make an equivalent advanced payment.

The total number of Second Lien SSNs in issuance has been reduced by repayments of $143.8m and $121.7m in 2022 and 2023 H respectively. The book value includes accrued PIK notes not issued at each reporting date. E R Under IFRS 7, such assets and liabilities are classified by the way in which their fair value is calculated. The interest-bearing loans and borrowings are INF considered to be level 1 liabilities with forward exchange contracts being level 2 assets and liabilities. IFRS 7 defines each level as follows: OR M – Level 1 assets and liabilities have inputs observable through quoted prices. A T I – Level 2 assets and liabilities have inputs observable, other than quoted prices, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). ON – Level 3 assets and liabilities are those with inputs not based on observable market data. Trade and other receivables, current borrowings and trade and other payables are deemed to have the same fair value as their book value and, as such, the table above only includes assets and liabilities held at fair value, and borrowings. The forward currency contracts are carried at fair value based on pricing models and discounted cash flow techniques derived from assumptions provided by third-party banks. Loan assets are held at cost less any expected credit loss provision (note 18). The SSNs are all valued at amortised cost retranslated at the year-end foreign exchange rate. The fair value of these SSNs at the current and comparative period ends are determined by reference to the quoted price on The International Stock Exchange Authority in St Peter Port, Guernsey. The fair value and nominal value exclude the impact of transaction costs. The other derivative contracts related to one option and one issuable derivative for the Group to acquire a minority shareholding in AMR GP Holdings Limited (see note 20). Two derivatives were exercised in the period giving rise to an investment (note 15). The derivative option over own shares reflects the detachable warrants issued alongside the Second Lien SSNs (see borrowings section of note 23) enabling the warrant holders to subscribe for a number of ordinary shares in the Company. The fair value is calculated using a binomial model and updated at each period end, reflecting the latest market conditions. The inputs used in the valuation model include the quoted share price, market volatility, exercise ratio and risk-free rate.

OR In constructing the investment strategy for the scheme, the Trustees take due account of the liability profile of the scheme along with the level of disclosed M surplus or deficit. The investment strategy is reviewed on a regular basis and, at a minimum, on a triennial basis to coincide with actuarial valuations. The A T I primary objectives are to provide security for all beneficiaries and to achieve long-term growth sufficient to finance any pension increases and ensure the ON residual cost is held at a reasonable level. The pension scheme operates under the regulatory framework of the Pensions Act 2004. The Trustee has the primary responsibility for governance of the scheme. Benefit payments are from Trustee-administered funds and scheme assets are held in a Trust which is governed by UK regulation. The Trustee comprises representatives of the Group and members of the scheme and an independent, professional Trustee was appointed during 2019. The pension scheme exposes the Group to the following risks: – Asset volatility – the scheme’s Statement of Investment Principles targets around 22% return-enhancing assets and 78% risk-reducing assets. The Trustee monitors the appropriateness of the scheme’s investment strategy, in consultation with the Group, on an ongoing basis. – Inflation risk – the majority of benefits are linked to inflation and so increases in inflation will lead to higher liabilities (although in most cases there are caps in place which protect against extreme inflation). – Longevity – increases in life expectancy will increase the period over which benefits are expected to be payable, which increases the value placed on the scheme’s liabilities. – Changes in bond yields – A decrease in corporate bond yields will increase the value placed on the Scheme liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the Scheme’s bond holdings. The projected unit method has been used to determine the liabilities. The pension cost is assessed in accordance with the advice of an independent qualified actuary. The latest completed actuarial valuation of the scheme had an effective date of 6 April 2020. The assumptions that make the most significant effect on the valuation are those relating to the rate of return on investments, the rate of increase in salaries and pensions and expected longevity. It was assumed that the investment return would be based on the Bank of England gilt curve plus 0.5% per annum and that salary increases would be equivalent to CPI inflation plus 1.0% per annum. At the 6 April 2020 actuarial valuation, the actuarial value of the scheme assets was £314.6m, sufficient to cover 76% of the benefits which had accrued to members.
