“In both the sensitised and reverse stress tested scenarios the forecasts indicate the company would still have sufficient cash and existing bank loan facilities to continue. As the bank loan facilities available to the company are part of a wider Corpay Inc. group facility, the ultimate parent undertaking, Corpay Inc. has confirmed in writing that it has the ability to and will support the Company as needed by continuing to provide access to Corpay Inc. group facilities so that the company can continue trading and enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due throughout the going concern period.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the reporting date, the directors approved a change in the estimated useful life of intangible assets, effective from 2026. The revised estimate has been implemented to align with group accounting estimates. Under the revised estimate, intangible assets will be amortised on a straight-line basis over a useful life of six years. The change will be applied from 2026 and will apply to both existing and newly acquired intangible assets. The impact of this change on existing assets is £0.25m.”
- “Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company entered into a series of transactions as part of a wider group intercompany balance reorganisation. The purpose of the reorganisation was to simplify and rationalise historical intercompany funding arrangements and reduce ongoing foreign exchange and administrative exposures arising within the group. The transactions formed part of a broader group recapitalisation and balance sheet simplification project.”
