Adrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, commented:
“Despite a challenging global environment, we started 2023 where we left off in 2022, with another solid set of financial figures, driving growth in revenue, operating profit and return on sales.
“Bentley’s record performance in the Americas is also especially notable, with one in three of our luxury cars now sold in the region. The introduction of the Bentayga EWB, plus the success of the Flying Spur sedan, have been key to this growth.
“Looking ahead, although our well-balanced distribution model shows signs of encouragement that this success can be continued, we remain cautious about global challenges that remain in the markets.”
America remains Bentleys biggest market with 1,157 cars (+39%) followed by Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macau with 666 (-12%). 645 cars (-9%) were sold in Europe while 361 cars (-2%) were delivered in home country, the United Kingdom.
