- Affirmed
“The directors are of the opinion that the going concern basis continues to be the appropriate basis for the preparation of the financial statements as SUEZ Recycling and Recovery Holdings UK Ltd has confirmed its intention and ability to provide such financial support as may be necessary to allow the Company to continue to operate as a going concern and to meet all of its obligations in full for the next twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Prior year saw operating profit increase due to the receipt of sales proceeds of one of the Company's landfill sites, which was an exceptional occurence to 2023.”
- “It was identified that in the prior years, due to the way internal sales are recorded, there were instances of internal transactions between sites within the Company that were recognised in both Revenue and Cost of Sales. This meant both Revenue and Cost of Sales were overstated by an equal amount in the prior year. This has no impact on Gross profit or Profit for the financial year and therefore no impact on Statement of Financial Position.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
