(Alliance News) - National Express Group PLC on Thursday reported a higher revenue for 2022 but its loss widened due to an impairment of goodwill charge for Madrid-based subsidiary ALSA.
The Birmingham-based public transport provider said annual revenue rose 29% year-on-year to GBP2.81 billion from GBP2.17 billion, though its pretax loss widened to GBP209.9 million from GBP84.9 million.
The company said the statutory loss was higher due to a GBP261 million non-cash impairment of goodwill in ALSA, a company operating long distance bus and coach services in Spain, Morocco, Portugal, Switzerland and France, bought by National Express in 2005.
Meanwhile, underlying pretax profit jumped to GBP145.9 million from GBP39.7 million.
"A relentless focus on operational leverage, cost discipline and successful pricing actions has underpinned a recovery in [underlying] profit and margin as well as in the return on capital employed," National Express said.
National Express reinstated dividends at 5.0p per share "reflecting confidence in the future".
Its expectations for 2023 are unchanged, and it has "clear and robust actions in place" to mitigate macroeconomic headwinds and cut costs.
National Express shares were 13% higher at 139.94 pence each in London on Thursday morning.

it's always better to get news from the horses mouth
The only surprise here is why the RNS announcement took so long we all knew "who the buyer would be" now we enter a period of fattening up of the share price after lean times.
It's looking very good. There is now only one way for Mobico

Both MGM & Caesars got "hacked" at least one of them "paid up" . I assume there was not a vulnerable back door entrance from Caesars to 888 and I assume we haven't paid a ransom.

The above company is controlled by our Spanish friends
an INITIAL charge against 10 million National Express shares was pledged to UBS in 2013 - the shares have obviously dropped a lot since then --- we can see a lot of detail on this initial pledge -- a second "more secretive-vague " pledge relatin g to Barclays appears a few years later

would the team like to comment ?? "family silver" moment ?
M&G Investment Management Ltd.
22,335,315 3.637 % 27 M
as you can see it has dropped from the last reported 4.99
The question is did they report it at the 4.99 presumably as tardily as possible so they could quickly dump the 4.99 less 3.637 (declared elsewhere) namely 1.362 percent on Thursday and Friday p.d.q. ?
Let's see if they are still active "offloaders" this week
