Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors are fully aware of the possible uncertainties arising from geopolitical and macroeconomic events and, while the Group's business has not been materially affected by these factors to date, the directors continue to assess the principal risks. They have modelled the possible impact of a downside scenario covering the next 12 months from the date of signing. They have performed a series of stress tests to consider various combinations of impacts across a range of possible outcomes, including a material decline in sales and EBITDA. EBITDA, together with other covenants on borrowing facilities, are the key performance measures at this time. The Group continues to perform strongly. Therefore, while risks remain, the directors' belief is that the Group will be able to navigate any economic downturn successfully. Ongoing performance, together with the results of the stress testing exercise, suggest that the Group will be able to operate within its available cash facilities, enabling the directors - making informed judgements from relevant business data - to conclude as best as they are able to that the Group is a going concern for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”

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
