“Based on the above, and the enquiries made by the directors, the financial results have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which assumes that company will be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “Traffic on the M6toll decreased year on year by 6.2% in 2024 to 16.6 million vehicles (2023: 17.7 million) reflecting an Annual Average Daily Traffic of 45,287 vehicles (2023: 48,463).”
- “2024 traffic has been impacted by an improvement in the level of service on the parallel competing section of the M6 alongside a deterioration in level of service on the M42 section south of the M6toll. Significant works being carried out on the M42 utilising narrow lanes and speed restrictions has had a negative impact on travel through the corridor and traffic volumes. In Q4 2024, some of the works were completed, but disruption remained with HS2 works beginning in June 2024.”
- “Total operating income increased to £139,500,000 (2023: £134,937,000) due to higher toll revenues derived from price changes in the year and favourable class mixes against 2023.”
- “Operating costs (cost of sales, staff costs and other operating expenses) increased to £16,286,000 (2023 restated*: £14,684,000), primarily driven by an increase in total staff costs.”
- “Capital expenditure in the year decreased to £6,513,000 (2023: £8,177,000). Investment reflected ongoing maintenance and enhancement to the road as part of the whole life capital expenditure programme, with the largest expenditure related to the continued investment in the RoadAhead transformation programme, which was completed in the year. The project implemented a new tolling system supported by ANPR technology and delivers an improved customer experience.”
- “The company has transitioned from FRS 102 to Financial Reporting Standard 101, Reduced Disclosure Framework ('FRS 101') for the financial year ending 31 December 2024.”
