Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have performed an assessment on the ability of the Company to operate on a going concern basis. This includes an assessment of the Company's financial position and forecast performance, Heidelberg Materials UK's divisional cash flow forecasts up to December 2026 and other relevant enquiries, including: the on-going impact of geopolitical instability in Ukraine and the Middle East and other political uncertainties; energy and raw material market volatility; persistent inflationary pressures; proposed tariffs; relatively high interest rates and the overarching impact these factors have on construction and consumer markets, as well as consideration of identifiable risks made by the ultimate parent undertaking, Heidelberg Materials AG, on their global business activities. The ultimate parent undertaking continues to operate on a going concern basis.”

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
