Jaguar Expects Border Chaos With or Without a Brexit Trade Deal

Jaguar Land Rover Plc is resigned to the U.K.’s breakup with the European Union resulting in a messy and complicated transition period for its operations regardless of how government trade-deal negotiations shake out.

The luxury-car maker released the details of its Brexit battle planning Tuesday within its report of a small quarterly pretax profit, though its parent’s loss worsened from a year ago. The company formed a steering committee that is staying apprised of government efforts to secure an agreement that avoids tariffs while also planning with partners for a no-deal scenario.
