- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Board has a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements, which are shown on pages 9 - 27. Global markets have experienced significant levels of uncertainty in the last few years, which has affected most sectors and businesses. After careful consideration of market conditions throughout the year, the key financial risk that the directors have identified for the next financial year is that projected growth is not achieved, resulting in lower profits and cash flows than anticipated. The Group's banking headroom position and associated covenants have been stress tested for various scenarios relating to the key risks, looking in particular at the impact of: 1. Adverse new and current business volumes resulting in reduced profits which are around 40% lower than in 2024; and 2. Adverse new and current business volumes resulting in reduced profits which are around 50% lower than in 2024. These assessments have been reviewed and discussed by the Board of Directors, with consideration given to sensible mitigating actions that are readily available to the companies within the Group. The directors have considered the commercial mechanisms in place with customers and suppliers, along with the ability, if required, for the business to scale down costs according to the reduced demand. Being able to efficiently manage costs in line with fluctuating volumes is a fundamental part of the offering the Group already provides to many of its customers. Furthermore, we have been able to redeploy colleagues from one site to another in line with volume demand due to the consistent use of The Unipart Way across each of our operations. The Company and Group will continue to monitor and respond to market conditions in the normal course of business and with a forward-looking approach to ensure any issues are identified and addressed at the earliest opportunity.”

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
