Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. There are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt upon the companies ability to continue as a going concern. Niterra UK Ltd. meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its banking facilities and has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis for preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza continue to adversely affect the economic climate and supply chains for both the automotive market and Niterra UK Ltd. While initial supply chain disruptions due to Red Sea attacks in the first quarter have since improved, globalization and acquisitions remain prominent in the Aftermarket business, alongside the growing influence of organized online retailers, reshaping the market dynamics.”
- “The new car market experienced growth driven primarily by electric and hybrid vehicles. A robust used car market further contributed to an increasing average age of vehicles on the road, reflecting consumer uncertainty regarding powertrain selection and economic pressures.”
- “To streamline logistics and reduce its carbon footprint, the company transferred its Ford OE business to its European distribution warehouse in Duisburg, aligning with Ford's main European distribution hub in Cologne. This strategic move resulted in a turnover decline for the UK entity during the financial year.”
- “There are no post balance sheet events.”

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
