- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In preparing the financial statements the Directors considered the Group's ability to meet its debts as they fall due for a period of one year from the date of this report. This was carried out in conjunction with the consideration of the Viability Statement above. The Directors are satisfied that the Group will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements, and that the severe but plausible downside scenarios considered indicate that the Group will be able to operate within the amount and terms (including relevant covenants) of existing facilities. On this basis the Directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “And one of the unique things about Severn Trent is our rich history – and the Derwent Reservoir dam has played a special place due to its connection with the famous 'Dambusters' Squadron, who used the dam for training during World War II. In recognition of VE 80, we illuminated our dam in remembrance, alongside a host of other VE day events across our sites.”

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
