Hornburg USA

Hornburg USA represents the premium brands of Aston Martin, Land Rover and Jaguar, with nine franchise points in Southern California.
Our retail business in the USA continues to deliver exceptional results from nine franchise points representing the Aston Martin, Jaguar and Land Rover brands based in California. In 2016 the business has increased operating profit by 17.3% and continues to perform exceptionally. As a consequence of the impact of the UK decision to leave the EU, the average exchange rate for the year of the British Pound to US Dollar fell from 1.52 to 1.34, which has been favourable in 2016 for the USA profitability when reporting in British Pounds. On a US Dollar basis, operating profit increased by 3.3%. We continue to seek opportunities to grow our presence in the US.
