Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP, Statutory Auditor
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 3 June 2025, the Group agreed with its funders ICG and Barclays. to increase the amount of funding provided to the Group and extend the term of their loans by two years. The Unitranche term loan with the Group's controlling party (ICG) and Barclays revolving credit facilities have been increased and extended to November 2027 and September 2027, respectively. Had this extension been agreed prior to the year end, all of the Group's term loans with its controlling party (ICG) and revolving credit facility (with Barclays) would have been classified as due after more than 12 months.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
