Bentley reports seventh straight year of profitability

Bentley Motors has reported a seventh consecutive year of profitability, demonstrating resilient underlying performance amid a challenging global market environment, all the while continuing to self-fund significant capital investment in preparation for electrification.

While headline financial results were impacted by a number of external and non-recurring factors, Bentley's core performance remained robust. Customer deliveries declined by 5%, driven largely by continued market contraction, particularly in China. This was partially offset by increased demand for higher-margin derivatives and a continued shift towards bespoke personalisation, resulting in a revenue decrease of just 1%.

The Bentayga continues to be Bentley's best-selling model, with the Bentayga Speed entering key markets at the end of 2025, further reinforcing the SUV's popularity.

Improved pricing, a favourable model mix and sustained growth in Mulliner content helped mitigate the impact of lower volumes and supported a revenue of 2.6 billion euros across the portfolio. Deliveries of Mulliner derivatives increased year-on-year, reinforcing Bentley's strategy of prioritising value over volume in the upper luxury segment.

Bentley's financial performance continues to support the company's industry-leading Beyond100+ strategy, as it progresses towards self-funding its ambitious site infrastructure and future product cadence investments.

In addition, confirming Bentley's long-term commitment to U.K. manufacturing, work continues on the transformation of the carbon-neutral Pyms Lane factory and the infrastructure required for BEV production. Progress remains ongoing on the conversion of the site's oldest building, which will become the future BEV assembly line.

These investments build on the recent opening of the Excellence Centre for Quality & Launch. The new Paint Shop will open later this year, offering customers close to 100 individual paint colours and further enhancing Bentley's personalisation capabilities, while at the same time minimising its impact on the environment.
