- Affirmed
“We have concluded that the use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “The statutory profit before tax of £222.3m (2024: £397.0m) is £174.7m lower than last year's result, which is in line with expectations.”
- “Last year's result included a one-off amount of £123.3m to align cumulative revenue with the CAA's decision on the value of the Covid income shortfall NATS (En Route) plc (NERL) is entitled to recover.”
- “On an adjusted basis, this year's result is £51.4m lower than last year overall.”
- “The company's cash flows, measured on a debt-adjusted basis, were more closely aligned with the result reflecting improved revenue receipts and the ongoing recovery of the Covid income shortfall, as well as lower pension and tax payments.”
- “The Board resumed dividend payments this year, the first since November 2019 and their pause during Covid and the subsequent recovery.”
- “Average delay per en route flight improved to 4.4 seconds meeting the CAA target of 8.3 seconds (2024: 8.8 secs/flight against a target of 8.5).”
- “We continued to decarbonise our estate, investing in solar arrays at our main air traffic control centres and we were rated by Best Companies as a 'Very Good Company to Work For' following employees' responses to our latest b-heard engagement survey.”
