Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)

- Deloitte LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company's Directors have made inquiries and satisfied themselves that there has not been a material change to the Group's going concern assessment since the Centrica Group results for 2024 were released. On the basis of these enquiries made, and the fact that Centrica plc, the ultimate parent company, has confirmed it will continue to support the Company, the Directors have concluded that the Company should be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, and therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “The Company is a subsidiary of the Centrica Group, and as such is impacted by changes in global wholesale energy prices and global conflicts. Energy prices have reduced since their peaks in 2022, however remain volatile. While the war in Ukraine continues, alternative sources of gas to replace the Nord Stream 1 pipeline have been secured across Europe, largely through Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) shipped from outside the European continent. The Gaza conflict also has the potential to increase market volatility if wider Middle Eastern states are caught up in the conflict.”
- “On April 8, 2025, the Company received a dividend of DKK 1,300,000,000 (£148,885,000), from its direct subsidiary, Centrica Energy Trading A/S, which will be reflected in 2025 financial statement.”
- “On 23 May 2025, the Board of Directors approved a dividend of £500,000,000 (representing £1.163 per ordinary share), to be paid to GB Gas Holdings Limited on or before 30 June 2025. This dividend relates to the financial year ended 31 December 2024, but was declared after the balance sheet date and therefore is not reflected in the 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
