- BDO LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors are required to assess whether adequate financial resources are available to continue to operate as a going concern for a period of not less than 12 months after the approval of these statutory financial statements... The Company has cash at bank and in hand of £29m, net current assets of £58m and net assets of £137m, demonstrating a strong financial position... The debt financing is sufficient to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to continue as a going concern at least 12 months after issuance of these financial statements. The ABL financial covenants require the AEL Group to maintain cash headroom of not less than £25 million at the close of each business day. The AEL Group Leverage/EBITDA ratio must not exceed 2.5. Therefore, the Directors concluded that they have a reasonable basis to support the going concern assertion for the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “On 28 May 2025, the parent company repaid the loan and the interest of £74,448,000 to the Company and the Company declared a dividend of £74,448,000 to the parent.”
- “Subsequent to the year end, in September 2025, the Aurelius Elephant Limited group refinanced its existing asset-backed loan ("ABL") facility. The revised facility, which has a minimum term of three years, increases the maximum borrowing capacity from £275 million to £350 million, secured against qualifying receivables of certain operating subsidiaries.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
