Year-on-year

Year-on-year comparison hidden: this filing covers about 12 months versus 5 months prior.

Ratios

Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest

Ratio Trend 2021-04-012022-03-312023-07-312023-12-312024-12-31
Operating margin -28.3%
Net margin -23.9%
Return on capital employed -0.1%-4.4%-5.0%-14.4%
Current ratio 1.04x0.38x
Interest cover -54.13x-26.12x-24.07x

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern
Affirmed

“The 2024 financial year was the first year that the Company generated revenue through handing over customer vehicles to customers. Despite this, the Company generated a loss and is in a net liability position at the end of December 2024. The Company has a strong order book, with vehicles being handed over to customers through-out 2024 and 2025 and this is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. The Directors have prepared a going concern assessment based on forecasts for a period up to December 2027, taking into consideration the current risks and opportunities facing the Company, and the Group of which it is part, and their potential impact on the cash flows expected to be generated. In addition, the Company has received the parental support, provided by Halo Cars Limited, for a period of at least one year from the date of these financial statements. For these reasons, the Directors are satisfied that the Company has access to sufficient funding to continue to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due for payment for at least the 12 months following the date of approval of these financial statements and the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
