Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”

Significant events

• “In March 2024, during the offloading of a delivery of phosphorous oxychloride (POCI3) from an isotank to a bulk container, gas escaped from a faulty offload valve on the container. The offload initiation process was stopped, the emergency services were contacted and the leak was quickly contained. One person was taken to hospital as a precaution, but there was no treatment required and no injuries were sustained as a result of the incident.”
• “On 3rd October 2024 LANXESS AG announced that it had sold its Urethanes business to UBE Corporation, Japan. The Company's subsidiary, LANXESS Urethanes UK Ltd, was included in the sale. Completion of the sale took place on 1 April 2025.”

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
