British luxury automaker Aston Martin said on Wednesday that it will cut up to 20% of its workforce as tariff and regulatory headwinds along with a challenging market backdrop weigh on the business.<\/p>\n

The company said the cuts will result in an annualized savings of about 40 million pounds ($54 million), most of which will occur this year. The company employs about 3,000 workers.<\/p>\n

Aston Martin didn’t specify when the cuts would occur this year, and they include the 5% workforce reduction the company announced last year.<\/p>\n

The company also announced that it would trim its five-year capital spending plan to 1.7 billion pounds from 2 billion pounds by delaying investment in electric vehicle technology.<\/p>\n

Best known as the car brand driven by James Bond, the company has struggled to generate cash and manage its debt of 1.38 billion pounds.<\/p>\n

The company said U.S. tariffs had been “extremely disruptive” and demand had also been “extremely subdued” in China, the world’s biggest auto market.<\/p>\n

Aston Martin said it expected further cash outflows in 2026, but also predicted “material improvement” in its financial performance.<\/p>\n

It has a target for gross margins in the high 30% range and adjusted earnings before interest and taxes near breakeven, helped by around 500 deliveries of its new Valhalla hybrid supercar.<\/p>\n
