Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ('the going concern period').”

Significant events

• “On 2 July 2025, Unilever U.K. Central Resources Limited allotted and issued 2,107,786,000 A Ordinary Shares of £1.00 each to Unilever U.K. Holdings Limited, for a total consideration of £2,107,786,000. The allotment was duly authorized by the board of directors and approved by the shareholders through written resolutions.”
• “The discretionary administration practice related to UUKPF has been removed, resulting in a past service credit of £23.1m. Bridging pensions augmentation for a small group of former employees resulted in a past service cost of £1.3m. Unilever made restructuring business changes resulting in a number of active members leaving the UUKPF and a curtailment gain of £378k.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
