Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“There can, however, be no certainty that the Plate Newco 3 Limited Group, and the holders of the primary debt facility of Avanti Group, the Super Senior Facility ("SSF"), will continue to extend their support, and renewal of existing facilities, beyond the forecast period or that if the forecasts are not substantially achieved, additional financial support from HPS, the shareholder, is made available. These matters represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.”

Year-on-year

FY2022 → FY2023 · period ending 2023-12-31 vs 2022-12-31

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
