Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

“Whilst the company has made a loss of £65,307,000 in the year, this was driven by an impairment of £65,295,000 in its subsidiary undertaking Arvin European Holdings UK Limited. The company has net assets of £340,299,000. The company itself does not generate income but incurs modest professional service fees each year which are settled by fellow Meritor group companies. The directors are confident that this arrangement will continue for the foreseeable future and for at least twelve months from the date of signing the financial statements. The company is part of the wider Cummins, Inc., group. The directors have concluded that the company has sufficient resources to continue to trade for at least twelve months from the date of signing the financial statements and meet any liabilities as they fall due.”

Significant events
- “The company generated a loss after tax of £65,307,000 for the year ended 31 December 2024 (2023: loss of £355,134,000). The loss in the year was largely generated as a result of a fixed asset investment impairment of £65,295,000 (2023: £355,093,000).”
- “In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released the Pillar Two model rules to reform international corporate taxation. Large multinational enterprises within the scope of the rules are required to calculate their effective tax rate for each jurisdiction where they operate. Meritor Holdings UK Ltd. expects to be within the scope of the Pillar Two rules in 2024 and the group has carried out an impact assessment and has determined that there is no material exposure to top-up taxes for the UK territory including for this entity.”
