- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”

Significant events
- “Continued demand for our solutions resulted in growth in order intake of 5% from £95.9m in FY 2022/23 to £100.4m in FY2023/24 and headline revenue increased by 14%, from £74.1m to £84.2m.”
- “Development costs capitalised this year were £2.6 million (2023: £2.1 million), reflecting our continued investment in new technology, tools, processes and software development to create opportunities and meet the needs of our customers.”
- “The closing order book at 30 June 2024 was strong at £85.0m, providing good visibility into the new financial year, which helps to underpin the execution of the Company's growth strategy.”
- “Restructuring costs (2024: £1,838,000, 2023: £428,000) related to redundancy costs arising from the combination of the operational transformation programme and significant multi-year review to support creating a combined Clean Energy and Environmental Solutions business focused on key markets across the Ricardo plc Group's Rail and Energy & Environmental businesses.”
