- Going concern
- Material uncertainty disclosed
“We draw attention to note 2.4 to the financial statements which specifies that on September 13th, 2024, an agreement was signed meaning that an entity, DSV, will acquire 100% of Schenker AG and its affiliates. The transaction was completed on 30 April 2025, however at the time of signing this opinion the future strategic direction and support to be provided from DSV to Schenker Limited are uncertain as integration is on-going. As a result, Schenker Limited is currently unable to accurately assess the impact of the sale on its business. These events and conditions, along with the other matters explained in note 2.4, constitute a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Subsidiaries

Significant events
- “On September 13th 2024, DSV signed an agreement with Deutsche Bahn to acquire 100% of Schenker AG and its affiliates. The sale was completed in April 2025.”
- “From 1st May 2025, DSV is the ultimate parent of Schenker Limited.”
- “In June 2023, the High Court handed down a decision in the case of Virgin Media Limited v NTL Pension Trustees II Limited and others relating to the validity of certain historical pension changes due to the lack of actuarial confirmation required by law. In July 2024, the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal brought by Virgin Media Ltd against aspects of the June 2023 decision. The conclusions reached by the court in this case may have implications for other UK defined benefit plans. The Company and pension trustees are currently considering the implications of the case for the Schenker Limited pension fund and Schenker Limited retirement benefit scheme”
