Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have received a letter of support from Sensient Technologies Corporation (the company's ultimate parent undertaking) confirming that it will provide continuing financial support to the Company for a period of 12 months from the date of approving the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. Having reviewed the company's forecasts and parental support, along with the directors' assessment of Sensient Technologies Corporation's ability to provide such support for the period of 12 months from the approval of the 2024 financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “In December 2023, the board of directors of Sensient Technologies Corporation ("Sensient") the ultimate parent company, approved a plan to undertake an effort to optimize certain production facilities and improve efficiencies within Sensient. As part of that plan, in February 2024, the board of directors of Sensient Flavors Limited evaluated the potential closure of its manufacturing facility in Felinfach, Wales, United Kingdom. The board of directors also evaluated the impact of the planned closure by evaluating the recoverable amounts of the assets held at Felinfach. This resulted in asset write down and considering the cost of disposal in 2023. Further restructuring costs were incurred in 2024 in relation to the planned closure. The Felinfach facility continued to operate until May 2025, after which time the production activities were fully transferred to other locations.”

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
