According to the 2016 financial report (2017 is not released yet) the headline figures are
2016 actual revenue was £593.5M (up £101M from previous year)
2017 forecast revenue: £785-£812M
When the new DB11 went on sale sales grew 48% in first 3 months
Product investment £192M
2016 - But pre-tax loss of £162M - mostly due to investment in the DB11 R&D and tooling, and sterling fluctuation. Really I dont see this as a big deal as the DB11 is now selling like hot-cakes in the US and China.
Overall - AM are ripe for a bit of F1 engine action and could easily afford it, if the FIA make the new regs more sensibly priced and get rid of all the stupid and non-road-relevant stuff like exhaust generators......just a simple single or twin turbo engine.

Check out this link for a more realistic 2017 financial assessment.......AM sales up 75%, I admit profits arent great, but they have plenty of money for R&D investment, and this is where the F1 engine budget would come from.
