2022 may have been a tough year for some automakers, but not Bentley. The iconic British brand just had its best-ever financial performance, posting an operating profit of €708 million. In current markets, that converts to $751 million, representing an 82 percent increase over 2021. For the record, Bentley logged a €389 million payday last year.
When you go back further, the results are even more impressive. In 2018, Bentley was deep in the red with an operating loss of €288 million. 2019 was a step in the right direction, achieving a €65 million profit. The numbers fell in 2020 – as they did pretty much everywhere once the COVID pandemic hit – but everything changed with Bentley's €389 million performance in 2021.
