Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors therefore do not believe that a material uncertainty exists regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern or its ability to continue with the current funding arrangements provided by the Ayvens Group.”
Significant events
- “As part of the Group's post-merger activities during Q4 2024, all employees supporting the operations of ALD Automotive Limited (“ALD UK") transitioned to employment under LeasePlan UK Limited.”
- “There is currently significant uncertainty around the proposed FCA redress scheme for historic motor finance commissions, and the amount of redress that is likely to be paid to customers. A provision of £48m has been recognised in respect of this exposure.”
- “In 2025 the Company sold all vehicles in its broker-introduced portfolio to ALD Automotive Limited, with the corresponding customer contracts also being assigned. The purpose of this transaction was to facilitate the ongoing integration of LeasePlan and ALD in the UK.”

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
