Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on this, the directors expect that the Company will have adequate resources and liquidity to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The Company's sustained performance is underpinned by our continued involvement in key infrastructure projects, including HS2, Silvertown Tunnel, and Lower Thames Crossing, even as these projects progress towards completion.”
• “Looking ahead into 2025, we have seen significant new project wins, notably Sizewell C nuclear power station, which contribute to our ongoing stability.”
• “To capitalize on these prospects, and in alignment with COWI Group strategy, the Board has initiated the establishment of a permanent Irish presence. This related company, operational since March 2025, will be managed by the COWI UK team.”
• “While COWI UK experienced a marginal revenue decrease in 2024, operating and net profit margins improved. This reflects the successful implementation of cost control measures initiated in the prior year, yielding positive results in 2024.”

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
