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

- “As part of this restructure, G&W UK Finance Limited undertook a capital reduction whereby the Share premium was reduced from $56,714k to $Nil and the amount credited to the Company's profit and loss account. On 11 April 2024, the Directors filed a solvency statement for that purpose as required by local laws.”
- “On 18 April 2024, Genesee & Wyoming Inc. made a partial settlement of $17,000k against the outstanding loan receivable, which was subsequently distributed as a dividend to the Company's immediate parent Company, RailTex Inc.”
- “Furthermore, on 18 April 2024, there was an additional partial settlement of this receivable through a USD loan note of $6,528k from Genesee & Wyoming Inc. which was subsequently distributed by way of a dividend in specie to the new immediate Parent Company, GWIH UK Holdings LP on 24 April 2024.”
- “Due to the restructuring, the immediate parent of the Company changed to GWIH UK Holdings LP from RailTex Inc previously, effective 23 April 2024.”
