- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company participates in the group's centralised treasury arrangements and so shares banking arrangements with its parent and fellow subsidiaries. The Directors have considered the impact of global rising inflation and interest rates, supply chain disruptions, the conflicts in Ukraine and Middle East, and the effects these have on the company. They have no material adverse effects on the company's financial position, results of operations and cashflows during the year and up to the date of approval of these financial statements. Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the impacts of these circumstances for the foreseeable future. The company has a strong orderbook which will continue to drive good trading levels going forward. The company's diversification strategy and the implementation of a rationalisation programme enables the company to manage profit margins and liquidity over the short term. The director has prepared a forecast for a period of 12 months from approving the 2025 financial statements including sensitised scenarios. After making enquiries about COMAU S.p.A and group's financial position and having reviewed the financial position and future forecasts of the company, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the company's financial statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2025. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”

Significant events
- “The company has considered its workload based on the existing orderbook and order acquisition YTD. The outcome of this review is that the company needs to undertake a right sizing exercise to be sustainable over the next 12 months. The company has therefore initiated a restructuring of building and labour costs to align structural costs with the anticipated trading levels. Accordingly, in June 2026 it was announced that the company would reduce its headcount by approximately 27%.”
