Proposed Sale of Aston Martin Naming Rights to Aston Martin F1 Team

and FY 2025 Trading Update

F1 naming rights

Aston Martin today announces that following an offer from AMR GP Holdings Limited ("AMR GP"), it is proposing to sell the right to use Aston Martin as part of the 'Aston Martin F1 Team' name and as a chassis name to AMR GP in perpetuity, as well as certain related branding rights, in each case limited to specified uses in the context of AMR GP's F1® operations, for consideration of £50m in cash (the "Proposed Transaction"). In 2024, Aston Martin extended its long-term Sponsorship Arrangement until at least 2045, with the Naming Arrangements for AMR to use the 'Aston Martin' name in F1 until 2055 at the latest.

FY 2025 Trading Update

In 2025, Aston Martin navigated a highly challenging trading environment whilst continuing to deliver operational milestones. Despite external factors, including, but not limited to heightened tariffs in the U.S. and, as guided, fewer high margin Special deliveries impacting financial performance, the Group made progress on its business transformation journey, driving operational efficiencies in cost and capex, whilst continuing to expand its model line-up.

The following unaudited FY 2025 Trading Update is provided ahead of the FY 2025 Results scheduled for 25 February 2026:

·   The Group delivered total wholesale volumes of 5,448 (FY 2024: 6,030), with retails outpacing wholesale volumes. This included 152 Valhalla deliveries in Q4 2025.

·     The Group currently expects FY 2025 gross margin of circa 29.5% and adjusted EBIT slightly below the lower end of the analyst consensus range (lower end of the January 2026 analyst consensus: £(184m)).

·    The previously announced actions taken by the Group to reduce SG&A and capex in FY 2025 are expected to result in adjusted operating expenses (excl. D&A) decreasing 16% to £262m (FY 2024: £313m) and capital expenditure of £341m (FY 2024: £401m).

·    Total liquidity at 31st December 2025 remained broadly flat compared to Q3 2025 at £250m. This reflects a sequential improvement in performance in Q4 2025, for which period modest positive free cash flow is expected.

The £50m consideration from the Proposed Transaction will enhance the Group's liquidity position.

The Group continues to expect material improvement in FY 2026 financial performance driven by an enhanced product mix including c.500 Valhalla deliveries, ongoing benefits from the transformation programme and a continued disciplined approach to operations.

Substantial Property Transaction

Shareholder approval by ordinary resolution under the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") is required from the Company's shareholders for the Proposed Transaction as a "substantial property transaction" under s190 of the Act. A Circular and Notice of Meeting will be published later today.

Shareholders accounting for 54.27 per cent of the total issued share capital of the Company have provided irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the resolution relating to the Proposed Transaction.

Shareholders who have provided irrevocable undertakings:

Related Party Transaction

Lawrence Stroll is a related party of the Company for the purposes of the UK Listing Rules by virtue of his position as Executive Chairman and a director of the Company.  Additionally, Lawrence Stroll is a related party of the Company by virtue of being the lead investor in Yew Tree Consortium, a substantial shareholder of the Company. As Lawrence Stroll also indirectly controls the majority of the voting rights of AMR GP, AMR GP is an associate of Lawrence Stroll and therefore, AMR GP is also a related party of the Company.

The Proposed Transaction constitutes a notifiable related party transaction under UK Listing Rule 8.2.1R.  Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company (comprised for these purposes of independent Directors) confirms that it considers that the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable as far as shareholders of the Company are concerned, and that the Board has been so advised by Goldman Sachs International as sponsor to the Company. Goldman Sachs International has taken into account the commercial assessment of the Board of Directors of the Company.
