“Our evaluation of the Directors' assessment of the Group's and Parent Company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included: Challenging the key assumptions used in the base case scenarios by assessing whether a 10% decline in forecast copper prices was appropriate based on broker forecasts and historical volatility patterns; Considering market and industry specific factors, including operational risks which could impact production volumes, as well as movements in key macroeconomic variables, such as exchange rates and inflation; Challenging the downside sensitivity scenarios performed by management, by modelling our own more severe scenarios; Analysing the Group's financial forecasts over a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements with the specified Net Financial Debt/EBITDA, EBITDA/Interest Expense and Total Indebtedness/Tangible Net Worth ratios; and Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures relating to going concern in the financial statements.”

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
