  • Adjusted operating profit fell 12.7% to £59.9m, mainly due to WeDriveU contract issues and FX headwinds.

  • Statutory loss for the period was £254.7m, impacted by a £238.0m non-cash impairment on the NA School Bus business.

  • New leadership team in place, with a focus on openness, honesty, and delivering on promises.

  • Free cash flow: £57.8m, down from £96.3m year-over-year, impacted by working capital timing.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
