“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, with operating activities within the financial year and tight cost controls maintaining the level of available cash.”
Significant events
- “In 2024, we expanded our short-term motor insurance proposition by launching Cuvva car clubs, enabling users to lend and borrow cars within their networks, fully insured through the app. We also broadened access by supporting non-GB licence holders, starting with France and Germany, furthering our reach and inclusivity.”
- “On the technology front, we deployed AI-powered claims and chatbots to improve efficiency while maintaining an average customer satisfaction score of 90% throughout the year (Dec-23: 79.9%).”
- “Our partner network includes over 1,000 car dealers, and we introduced our first non-insurance in-app service via ClickMechanic. Our breakdown cover surpassed 100,000 policies sold.”
- “A dividend of £2.0m was declared and paid during the year.”
- “In the current year the directors concluded, on the evidence of sustained profitability and an updated forecast, that it is probable the company will utilise a substantial portion of its brought-forward trading losses. Accordingly, a deferred-tax asset of £2,901,737 has been recognised for the first time.”
