In a November 2024 interview with Bloomberg, Erginbilgic discussed Rolls-Royce's progress, stating the company had made "great progress" in a difficult supply chain environment and expanded the cash potential of the business across all divisions. He noted that the company's first-year results were a record and that they had upgraded guidance for the year. Regarding the UK market, he said that data showed a discount of the FTSE versus the world index after Brexit, but added that his experience showed that if a company delivers well, investors respond, noting that Rolls-Royce now has more US than UK investors. He said the government needs to attract companies by investing in infrastructure and cutting red tape. In a February 2024 interview with Times Radio, Erginbilgic said the company's transformation was delivering results, driven by commercial optimization, cost efficiencies, and strategic initiatives. He stated that Rolls-Royce delivered record cash when flying hours were at 88% of 2019 levels. On the UK as a place for manufacturing, he said the company is at the cutting edge of technology and that only the US and UK can do what Rolls-Royce does in civil aerospace, but noted that US competitors receive significantly more government technology support. He said a primary listing move to the US was not in the company's current plans.
