Aston Martin is going through a deep crisis, which has been confirmed following the publication of its 2025 results. Between a sharp drop in revenue, mounting losses, and a drastic workforce reduction plan, the company is doing its best to recover.
The manufacturer’s performance in previous quarters already gave a foretaste of this bleak picture : over the 2025 financial year as a whole, Aston Martin saw its revenue decline significantly, falling 21% to approximately £1.26 billion (€1.45 billion) from nearly £1.58 billion the previous year.
This decline was accompanied by a deterioration in profitability : gross margin contracted to 29.4%, compared to 36.9% in 2024, and adjusted operating profit showed a loss of £189.2 million, much wider than last year.
The group also recorded a significant net cash outflow, which widened to £409.9 million, while net debt climbed to £1.38 billion, weighing heavily on the financial outlook.
The customs duties in question
Among the main difficulties cited by Aston Martin’s management is the introduction of US customs duties. The key US market has impacted the British manufacturer by introducing trade barriers targeting vehicles imported from the UK in particular.
