- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making enquiries, the Directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company financial statements. In doing so the Directors have considered the following: The cash position of the Company and its fellow UK Group Companies The strong cash flow performance of the Company and UK Group through the year The continued demand for the Group's products The resilience and flexibility demonstrated by the Company during previous periods of disruption including the Covid Pandemic The historical resilience of the independent automotive aftermarket in times of economic downturn; and The ability of the Group to flex its cost base in response to a reduction in trading activity. The Directors have also considered the UK Group's strong liquidity position with cash and cash equivalents of £80m as at 31 December 2024 and committed undrawn facilities of £150m under a Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF"). The Directors have applied downside sensitivities to the Group's cash flow projections to assess the UK Group's resilience to adverse outcomes. This assessment included a reasonable worst-case scenario in which the UK Group's principal risks manifest to a severe but plausible level. Even under the most severe case, the UK Group would have sufficient liquidity and remain within its banking covenants. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue to operate and meet liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, a period considered to be at least twelve months from the date of these financial statements and therefore the going concern basis of preparation continues to be appropriate.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
