- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Kelda group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence over a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the Financial Statements, and therefore in turn the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The directors have thus adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements.”

Significant events
- “The increase in profit before tax has been driven by the profit on the disposal of the Templegate joint venture of £12,785,000 (2024: £nil).”
- “During the year, Templegate Developments Limited was sold and Keyland received consideration of £15,000,000 for the sale and repayment of the outstanding loan balance. After deducting the cost of investment, this resulted in a net £12,785,000 gain on disposal of investment recognised in the profit and loss account.”

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
