“The company is expected to remain profitable and generate cash from its operating activities, however the company remains dependent on the group for its financing. The company had loans expiring totaling £21,180,173 within 12 months of the balance sheet these loans have now been consolidated and prolonged now expiring 30 June 2026. As a result of this and ongoing financing for future investment in new wagons being required a letter of support has been provided by the ultimate parent company, VTG GmbH. The letter confirms that there will be continued provision of support for a period until the 31 October 2026, to meet the company's liabilities commitment to the extent that money is not otherwise available to the company. The Directors have then considered whether the parent company is able to provide support, and note that in 2024 the Group had expiring loans that were refinanced and as part of this underwent a rating process with S&P and was assigned a 'BBB' rating with a stable outlook.”
