Going concern

Affirmed

“The Company has received a letter of support from its ultimate parent company, The Coca-Cola Company, stating its commitment to provide continuing financial support to enable the Company to meet financial obligations as and when they fall due covering a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements, but only to the extent that money is not otherwise available to meet such liabilities.”

Significant events

• “Effective 31 January 2025, The Coca-Cola Company Pension and Assurance Scheme (the "Plan"), a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by the Company, was closed to all active employees. In connection with the closure, the Company's obligation to make contributions to the Plan ceased as of that date. The Plan's trustees, KO UK Pension Trustees Limited, completed the purchase of a group insurance annuity ("buy-in") contract that secures the payment of all benefits due to the Plan's beneficiaries.”

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
