Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Mercer & Hole LLP
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“The directors have considered the future cash flows of the company for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report and concluded that the going concern assumption remains appropriate. A letter of support has been provided by the ultimate parent, The Manitowoc Company Inc., confirming they will support the company to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report, should this be required.”

Significant events

“During 2024, building on our continuous improvement mindset and The Manitowoc Way, we achieved our annual targets and reduced our Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 24% compared to 2019, as well as our waste to landfill by 70% compared to 2019.”
“The investment in Manitowoc Crane Group (UK) Subco Limited was disposed of during the year which generated a gain on disposal resulting in an increase on the profit before tax compared to the previous year.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
