Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The Group's committed funding arrangements expired on 31 January 2025. Since that date, the Group has been operating under short-term rolling facilities while active discussions continue with lenders to finalise a revised funding agreement in line with the needs of the business...This creates a material uncertainty in relation to going concern which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
