Bentley Motors today reported promising H1 2023 financial results, although warning of tougher trading periods to follow. The prestigious British carmaker recorded $428 million in operating profits, a minor 2% decline from 2022’s $437 million. Revenue in H1 2023 slightly dipped to $1.848 billion from $1.877 billion in the previous year. Bentley’s personalized Mulliner services, derivatives, and optional uptake still command considerable interest. Adrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO, underlined that the solid results reflect a consistent order bank. However, Hallmark acknowledges a slight dip in the order run rate from key markets.
