- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors consider that the Company has adequate resources to remain in operation for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. In assessing the going concern for the Company, the Directors are of the opinion that as the company is an integral part of the Tesco Group, providing distribution services to Tesco Stores Limited which is a going concern, and so, Tesco Distribution Limited, by extension is also considered as a going concern. Therefore, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. In undertaking their going concern assessment, the Directors have considered the impact of industry challenges and have concluded that there are no material uncertainties relating to going concern. For further details, please refer to the Tesco PLC Annual Report and Financial Statements 2025.”
