Bentley Motors has announced record financial performance for 2021, after the company’s record sales performance during the same 12-month period.

Operating profits rose to €389 million – €369 million more than in 2020.

Turnover last year reached €2.845 billion, and the average revenue per luxury car rose by 8% over 2020.

This contributed to a return on sales of 13.7%.

Bentley has previously announced it had delivered 14,659 cars in 2021, a 31% increase on the previous record year of 2020.

And there was a steady increase of customer interest in new models resulting in an order bank at record levels at the start of 2022.

The company says the figures are “a vindication of customer appreciation of the freshest model line-up in the luxury segment” as well as its Beyond100 Strategy to be carbon neutral by 2030.

The initiative has been underpinned by a 10-year investment programme at the Crewe factory, a €3 billion sum representing the biggest transformation and investment programme in Bentley’s history.

The company plans to build one new electric model each year for five years from 2025 onwards, as the entire model range undergoes electrification.

Adrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, said: “These results were achieved against a continued backdrop of economic uncertainty.

“They represent a major achievement for everybody involved at Bentley Motors, as we push forward with our Beyond100 programme to reinvent our entire product range in the build-up to carbon neutrality by 2030.”

Jan-Henrik Lafrentz, Member of the Board for Finance and IT, Bentley Motors, added: “Brand strength has been key to Bentley’s financial performance in 2021, with new models such as Bentayga Hybrid helping to drive profit to a record €389 million.

“Increasing demand for our hybridised models, supported by €3 billion of sustainable investment in our Crewe factory, will ensure we remain the benchmark manufacturer in sustainable luxury mobility.”

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
