Review of the Business
Overall Summary
2025 was a strong year with turnover just under £123 million, an 8% increase on 2024, but we still faced issues with vehicle supply both new vehicles due to Windsor framework 
Toyota has a challenging year due to supply of new vehicles in 2025 against 2024, used cars having a stronger performance. Renault had a strong year in new car and used sales. Nissan had a difficult year due to brand supply and support. Newry saw an increase in both new and used performance.  Fleet is still hampered by new car supply and EV RVs although turnover was up year on year.
Increased electricity, rates, interest, and overall salaries had a huge impact on all sites
Sales Department
2025 saw a good performance from the sales dept considering the vehicle supply issues that still hamper the industry - both new car and used car sales were up this year by 7%
Service Department
Service had a more difficult year due to the mix of work and we have seen overall costs rise considerably which affected the profitability, Newry saw an increase of technician headcount and efficiency and significant profit increase as a result. Overall group service profit increased by 21%.
The group returned 1.6 hours per job card. Productivity and efficiency are continually managed through the departments. CITNOW and VHCs have grown and technicians are more familiar than ever 
Parts Department
Parts turnover decreased due to the warranty mix dropping.  The focus has been on workshop parts and trade parts. Overall parts profit has decreased due to rising employment cost and drop in turnover.
We are very pleased with how the group has performed in another very challenging year where we have seen the vehicle supply issue along with increase of overheads and staff salaries eat away at profit. This industry continues to challenge us
Newry
2025 was a good year as turnover increased by overall by 4%, Maxus is still finding its feet and the market is getting stronger around EV. 
Kia and Renault both remained strong in new for 2025 
Autoselect Used improved year on year but still has greater potential .
Service delivered on sales, increased overheads due to salaries and general increase in overheads and had a much stronger profit in 2025. This is an ongoing focus.
Parts has a stronger year with turnover increase of 37% and retaining good profit margin.
Overheads in all departments increased which impacted Newry - overall increase in rates, heat and light, interest and overall salaries left it difficult for absorption.
Newry returned a strong profit for 2025 and order bank is good for 2026
Nissan
Nissan new retail sales was stronger in 2025.
Autoselect Used had a stronger year used profit was strong and volume was up. 
Service had a weaker year in turnover due to headcount which impacted sales. 
Due to the drop in headcount in technicians therefore Parts also had a weaker year than 2024 
Renault
Renault New sales delivered another strong year in 2025 - whilst New sales declined due to mix, Used vehicles delivered a stronger sales growth of 4%.
Whillst overheads increased with salaries and interest charges, which proved difficult, Renault delivered a great profit in 2025.
Parts and service turnover were behind due to a drop in warranty, although even with increase in overheads delivered a similar profit to 2024.

Review of the Business - continued
Toyota
Toyota had a difficult year due to a lack of New vehicle models in the mix - vehicles that used to be readily supplied, Rav4 and Landcruiser, dropped significantly and impacted turnover and profitability.
Used saw an increase in sales of 17% and gross profit remained strong although increased overheads led to a slight drop in net profits.
Service and Parts both saw decreases in turnover and profit, driven by sales performance 
Fleet
Fleet saw a significant increase in sales of 50% year on year and profits were greatly improved. Change in management and the wider team led to a stronger performance in the Department. 
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The management of the company and the execution of the company and group's strategy are subject to any or all of the following risks and uncertainties:-
Franchise financial stability
The group relies on its franchised motor car dealerships. Without a franchise we may be unable to source new car stock or perform service warranty repairs. The group has attempted to mitigate this risk by having trading relationships with a number of manufacturers so that the impact of any one manufacturer failing would be reduced.
Competition
The retail motor trade is highly competitive and comprises of a number of large dealer networks and independent retailers. In addition, the aftersales market comprises of similar franchised businesses, supply and fit chains, and a large number of small independent garages and bodyshops. The group therefore offers customers different options depending upon price and quality of service they wish to take; our aftersales business is reliant on our customer service and the ability to adjust pricing in reaction to local competitive conditions.
Human resources and employees
The group's success depends to a large extent upon the effort and abilities of senior management and key employees. Further, our business is dependent upon our ability to continue to attract and retain skilled personnel.
Legislation
A number of regulations affect our business of selling, financing and servicing cars, such as those set out by the Financial Conduct Authority. Non-compliance can lead to fines or suspension from selling finance or general insurance products.
Stock value risk
The group is exposed, as are all businesses in this industry, to the risk of the value of its stock in trade falling due to general economic or industry specific factors, although currently stock values are not falling due to high demand. The directors mitigate this risk through a two-fold policy of ensuring the group only carries stock of a suitable profile and price range that is appropriately aged, and by a strict monthly write-down policy that immediately recognises any fall in value through the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
General economic conditions
The general economic environment and levels of consumer and business confidence have a direct impact on levels of demand in the motor retail sector. Currently the UK is still facing a Cost of Living crisis with interest rates reduced modestly to 3.75% and slow economic growth, but inflation is now down to 2.8%.
Market risk
Uncertainty in financial markets has dented consumer confidence. Steps taken by financial institutions to reduce exposure and risk have resulted in limiting available consumer credit. Initiatives led by the management team within the group have assisted in maintaining a good level of retail finance penetration.

Key performance indicators
Our KPIs are the percentage growth in both turnover and underlying profit which are shown in the Review of Business above. Gross profit margin is another KPI - this rose in 2025 to 4.6% (2024: 4.2%).
Section 172(1) Statement
The directors of Shelbourne Motors Holdings Limited consider, both individually and collectively, that they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the group for the benefit of its members as a whole (having regard to the stakeholders and matters set out in S172(l) (a) - (f) of the Companies Act 2006) in the decisions taken during the year ended 31 December 2025.
- Our plan was designed to have a long term beneficial impact on the group and to contribute to its success in delivering a high quality of service across all areas of our business.
- Our team members are fundamental to the delivery of our plan. We aim to be a responsible employer in our approach to the pay and benefits our team members receive. The health, safety and well being of our team members is one of our primary considerations in the way we do business.
- Engagement with suppliers and customers is key to our success. We meet with our major manufacturing partners regularly throughout the year and take appropriate action, where necessary, to prevent involvement in modern slavery, corruption, bribery and breaches of competition law.
- Our plan takes into account the impact of the group operations on the community, environment and our wider social responsibilities, in particular how we comply with environmental legislation pursue waste saving opportunities and react promptly to local community concerns.
- Our intention is to behave responsibly and ensure that management operate the business in a responsible manner, operating within the high standards of business conduct and good governance expected for a business such as ours and in doing so, will contribute to the delivery of our plan. The intention is to nurture our reputation, through both the construction and delivery of our plan that reflects our responsible behaviour.

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the group's operations. Their existence exposes the group to a number of financial risks.The significant risks arising from the group's financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
The directors review and agree policies for the management of each of these risks which are noted below. These policies are consistent with those from the previous year.
Interest rate risk
The group sometimes uses bank borrowings and other loans to finance its operations during peak periods. The Bank of England base rates have been falling during 2025 and are currently standing at 3.75%, thereby decreasing the group's interest payments on its variable rate loans tracked to that rate.
Liquidity risk
The group seeks to manage risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash and assets safely and profitably.
The group's policy throughout the year has been to achieve this objective through the day to day involvement of management in business decisions rather than through setting maximum or minimum liquidity ratios.
Credit risk
The group's principal financial assets are cash and trade debtors. The credit risk associated with the cash is minimal as the counterparts have high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The principal credit risk therefore arises from its trade debtors.
In order to manage credit risk, the directors have implemented processes to ensure receipt of cleared funds for vehicle sales before the vehicle is released. Other trade debtors require an approved credit limit in advance. The directors set credit limits for customers based on a combination of payment history and third party credit references. Credit limits are reviewed by the finance director on a regular basis in conjunction with debt ageing and collection history.

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting
Adler & Allan Group Limited were instructed by the group to undertake an assessment of energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a result of business operations, for the financial year ending 31 December 2025. This report has been conducted in line with the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) Framework and the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic and Directors’ Reports) Regulations 2013.
Our energy and carbon calculations have been conducted in accordance with the UK Government’s Reporting Guidelines for Company Report. Data has been reviewed and verified by a third-party (Adler and Allan). GHG calculations have been performed using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Reporting Standards (GHG Protocol) and ISO14064-1:2018 Greenhouse Gases – Part 1: Specification with guidance at the organization level for quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals. All emissions calculations use up to date GHG Conversion Factors for Company Report (BEIS) and are reported as carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e), accounting for all major greenhouse gases.
The table below sets out total energy consumption and resulting GHG emissions by scope arising from business operations.

Shelbourne Motors is committed to responsible environmental and carbon management and will practice energy efficiency throughout our organisation, where possible and cost-effective to do so. We recognise that climate change is one of the most serious environmental challenges currently threatening the global community and we understand our role in firstly reducing our own direct emissions, as well as supporting our customers to transition to more efficient and low carbon vehicles.
Our absolute GHG emissions have decreased by 7% on the previous year. This was achieved via a 9% reduction in energy consumption across sources – in particular reducing reliance on petrol, LPG and biomass during the last 12 months. It is, however, recognised that kerosene and biomass are purchased on an ad-hoc basis and there may be annual variances depending on the timing of purchases.
 During 2025, our revenue has increased by 8%. Despite this, the carbon intensity of our operations has decreased by 7%, demonstrating that we are able to achieve sustainable business growth whilst also reducing environmental impact.
Solar power has been installed at the Newry site in 2025 and is being implemented in Portadown in May 2026. The Monta EV charging platform  is being implemented  in May/June 2026 to manage our EV chargers in a more efficient manner.

In the future, we will continue to explore ways to save energy and natural resources, including low and zero emissions vehicles; renewable energy procurement and generation; and low carbon heating.
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
  • state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS102, have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
  • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company and group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statement of Disclosure of Information to Auditors
In the case of each director in office at the date the Directors' Report is approved:
  • so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company and group's auditors are unaware; and
  • they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company and group's auditors are aware of that information.
Independent Auditors
The auditors, Ascendis Audit Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment under Section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Shelbourne Motors Holdings Ltd (the "parent company") and its subsidiaries (the "group") for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Company Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
In our opinion the financial statements:
  • give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of the group's profit for the year then ended;
  • have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
  • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions Relating to Going Concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on Other Matters Prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
  • the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
  • the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 9
Page 10
Matters on Which We Are Required to Report by Exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
  • adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
  • the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records or returns; or
  • certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
  • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 9, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 10
Page 11
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following;
- the nature of the industry, control environment and business performance including the design of the group's remuneration policies, key drivers for directors' remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets;
- our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
- any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the group's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
- identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance, in particular in relation to the FCA;
- detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
- the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the group for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: bank payment processing, payroll, sales processing, used/demo stock valuation, and credit card/cash transactions. In common with all audits under lSAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the group operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Companies Act 2006, pensions legislation and tax legislation.
Audit response to risks identified:-
ln addition to the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
- enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
- performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
- reviewing correspondence with the FCA and;
- in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
ln addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the group's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. These included the group's FCA regulatory requirements.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Shelbourne Motors Holdings Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in Northern Ireland, registered number NI687638 . The registered office, and principal place of business, is 334 Tandragee Road, Portadown, Craigavon, BT62 3RB.
The trading subsidiary has no single principal place of business.
The presentational currency of the financial statements is Pound Sterling (£).
Amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Basis Of Consolidation
The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position include the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings made up to 31 December 2025. The consolidated financial statements have been drawn up under the merger accounting method. Intra group balances, transactions and profits are eliminated fully on consolidation.
2.3. Going Concern Disclosure
The directors have not identified any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern.
2.4. Turnover
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, net of discounts and value added tax, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. In general this occurs when vehicles or parts have been supplied or when a service has been completed.
Turnover from the hire of vehicles is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, net of discount and value added tax, over the hire period.
Rental income and management charge income is accounted for on an accruals basis. 
Commission income is accounted for on a receivable basis.
2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold 2% per annum on a straight line basis
Plant & Machinery 5% - 33% per annum on a straight line basis
Motor Vehicles 20% - 33% per annum on a straight line basis
Fixtures & Fittings 6.67% - 33% per annum on a straight line basis
Computer Equipment 10% - 33% per annum on a straight line basis
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. The group took advantage of the transitional exemption set out in the triennial review of FRS 102 to record certain freehold property at a deemed cost of £5,529,868.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
2.6. Investments
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less provision for impairment where necessary.
Page 21
Page 22
2.7. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Consignment vehicles are regarded as being under the control of the group, and in accordance with FRS 102 are included in stocks on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, although legal title has not passed to the group. The corresponding liability is included in trade creditors and is secured directly on these vehicles.
2.8. Financial Instruments
The company and group only have basic financial instruments, which are recognised at amortised cost.
2.9. Taxation
Current tax
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
2.10. Pensions
The group operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
2.11. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis.
2.12. Dividends
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders.
