Profits at NCT testing firm Applus fall to €5m
The firm that operates the National Car Test last year clocked up weekly revenues of €1.52m. However, increased costs at Applus Car Testing Service Ltd contributed to pre-tax profits decreasing by 34% to €4.99m.
Applus’ revenues increased by 1.6% to €79.04m. Revenue derived from the NCT fell slightly to just under €71.4m due to a decline in the number of tests carried out during the year. However, €2.2m in revenue was generated from other ancillary income and €4m came from VRT Import Conformance Inspection.
