    GKN HOLDINGS PLC Registered Number: 66549 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2016 GKN HOLDINGS PLC Registered Number: 66549 Strategic Report The Directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2016. 1. Business Review 2016 was another year of encouraging progress for GKN. Management profit before tax grew 12%, helped by favourable currency effects and the first full year contribution from Fokker. We also made good progress in executing our strategy, sharpening our focus and building momentum as we enter 2017. We continued to invest in technology, reinforcing our market leading positions in automotive and aerospace. This included developing our expertise in eDrive and additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, both of which we see as offering excellent opportunities for GKN’s future success. Financially the year could have been even better, but for the impact of operational issues in one of our North American Driveline plants which incurred significant cost over-runs on new product launches. GKN puts great emphasis on operational excellence and we have strengthened our processes in programme management to ensure all our locations consistently achieve the demanding standards required. Sharpening our focus In July, we announced a sharpening of our focus and we enter 2017 with a new structure of three divisions, with GKN Land Systems’ industrial business Stromag now sold and the rest of the division moved to other parts of the Group. The GKN Land Systems’ team has worked hard over the last few years, improving their operations around the world. But their markets have been tough, shrinking their sales and the size of the potential opportunity.

  • Completed Acquisition of Two Vauxhall Dealerships from Riders' Garages Limited by Eden
    Completed acquisition of two Vauxhall dealerships from Riders’ Garages Limited by Eden (GM) Limited ME/6474-14 The CMA’s decision on reference under section 22(1) on 24 October 2014. Full text of the decision published on 17 November 2014. Please note that [] indicates figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. Summary 1. Eden (GM) Limited (Eden) operates Vauxhall franchised car dealerships. Its two Devon dealerships, Exeter and Honiton, supply new and used Vauxhall cars to private customers as well as repair and maintenance services to Vauxhall cars. 2. Eden acquired two Vauxhall dealerships in Newton Abbot and Torbay (the Riders dealerships) from Riders Garages Limited (Riders) (the Merger). The Riders dealerships supply new and used Vauxhall cars to private customers and repair and maintenance services to Vauxhall cars. Eden and the Riders dealerships together are referred to in this decision as the Parties. 3. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) considers that the Parties are enterprises that as a result of the Merger have ceased to be distinct and that the share of supply test is met. The CMA therefore believes that it is or may be the case that a relevant merger situation has been created. 4. Eden and the Riders dealerships overlap in the supply of new and used Vauxhall cars and the supply of repair and maintenance services for Vauxhall cars in the Exeter, Newton Abbot and Torbay areas. 5. In relation to the supply of new and used Vauxhall cars, the CMA does not consider there to be competition concerns based on the constraints faced by the Parties locally from dealerships of other car marques including other sellers of used cars (both Vauxhall and others).
